All of 419 did not expect the unexpected to develop so quickly and that it could disrupt the whole plan.

The 419's drone does not have optical stealth capability, and in previous operations, it has also been repeatedly dispatched during the day, usually maintaining a certain altitude difference, and can hide in the blue sky background. But hidden dangers have always existed, this is not the first time that the UAV of 419 has been seen by pilots of this era, as early as when the Japanese army attacked Pearl Harbor, some Japanese pilots claimed to have seen a strange US military reconnaissance plane with a large wingspan in the sky, this voice communication was intercepted by the drone, and it was more than 9 kilometers away from the Japanese plane at that time. It was amazing that the pilot could see such details. Of course, the matter was not settled in the end, and the pilot's name soon appeared in the list of those killed after the Battle of Wake Island.

There were also several sightings while in Burma, including one in which a bomb was dropped in front of an Allied pilot. But it was the first time that he was chased by a very curious pilot.

Accelerating and escaping is not the strength of the drone, but the 419's search radar can accurately measure the height of this P38, and it is also very difficult for it to continue to climb at a high altitude in thin air, and it cannot be pulled up directly at a steep angle, but can only circle up slowly. Of course, the two Allison engines between the opponents are powerful, and it will not be easy for the drone to get rid of it, so it can only concentrate all the power on propulsion.

Normally, once the UAV performing the jamming task climbs to a higher position near the target, the energy peak occupied by the jamming pod will exceed the power part, and the aircraft itself can rely on very weak power to do low-speed gliding and hovering movements. Now I can only give up the interference and find a way to run farther.

The drone fled to the north, the radar detected the rate of climb, slightly faster than the P38, according to the calculations, it was possible to throw off the opponent, but it would take a long time.

The communications intercepted by the drone suggest that the other party may have mistaken himself for a B17 bomber, and that he had been calling himself to ask if he was a squadron of Firebirds and that he needed to return to his own airfield in the Solomons.

Lieutenant Charlton, who was in pursuit, gradually realized that something was wrong, the faint bright spot ran to an altitude that the plane could not reach, it was not a B17 bomber, and this thing seemed to be wandering, as if it was deliberately slowing down and playing with itself. He had already been investigated for a UFO sighting, and although in the end the Army told him that it was just ball lightning, he knew that it was just a lie, and what he saw today should be something hiding at the edge of the atmosphere to spy on human warfare.

At present, his climb rate has dropped to 5 meters per second, if it were not for the turbocharging is working, the engine may have stopped and fallen, he could not continue to catch up, got up from the bag behind his seat, took out a Kodak camera, tried to hold the steering wheel with his left hand, stabilized the plane, and pressed the shutter on the target with his right hand.

As a reconnaissance aircraft, he had a fixed-orientation camera installed under his plane, but he also carried a camera with him in case of emergency.

Chiyoda didn't know that he had just escaped, Beppu Akitomo Osa ordered the radar to be turned on, and then it was a long warm-up process, he glanced at his watch, and from now on it entered the 30-minute countdown stage.

The magnetron technology used in the emission source of this radar is not mature enough, the cathode material is poor, the heat dissipation is uneven, and the effective time is basically 30 minutes. In essence, this radar is a defective product and completely inadequate, but the Japanese still point to it as having a "miraculous effect". It took a while for Dazuo to figure out his temper.

For a few minutes on end, the operator can see the echo from the oscilloscope and the tracking is normal. At this time, the captain of the ship ordered the * to be prepared for launch. He didn't start the radar at the same time*, which is a waste of time, and of course there is a reason. The V1 cruise missile uses a complex set of inertial navigation devices to maintain attitude and basic flight direction, this thing is battery-powered, and once it warms up, it enters an irreversible state, and he must stabilize the radar before he can order * to prepare. Otherwise, the radar here will not be able to track, and the inertial navigation over there will run out of batteries, and the * on the launch rack will have to be brought back.

During this time, his ship was constantly close to his opponents. Unmoved, the opponent fights the Kinugasa Heavy Patrol, which attracts firepower.

Compared to the Aoba class, the New Orleans class is slightly stronger in all aspects. Not afraid of the opponent, if the ship has a radar warning device, it should be found that the opponent's radar is scanning itself, in fact, the ship's anti-air search radar has been interfered with by Chiyoda's sea search radar, clutter can be seen on the oscilloscope, but the operator has just come out of school, and no one has told them yet, this is a precursor before the enemy strikes.

2 pieces* took off into the air one after another after 5 seconds, and went straight to the target.

U.S. observers had been staring at the nearby sea, beware of submarines, and they saw something rising from a Japanese ship in the distance, still with a flash of fire.

The sailors were never warned of the possible use of this new weapon by the Japanese, although the upper echelons knew about it.

The US military believes that any information concerning the Japanese mastering new weapons is not suitable for circulating among the armed forces, as it is likely to affect morale. In the official propaganda of the United States, the Japanese nation only knows about plagiarism and plagiarism. Uncreative peoples, creativity usually belongs to thoughtful, well-bred whites.

This narrow-minded racism makes it politically correct for intelligence services to deliberately conceal enemy information, and thus makes American recruits feel caught off guard when faced with things like the Zero fighter or the Sakura*.

New Orleans mobilized several secondary guns to shoot at the two planes that were flying far away and were lowering to the surface of the sea. No one expected the 127-mm gun to hit a small target moving at high speed, but the fact that the gun hit the water column formed by the sea could block or interfere with the view of pilots at low altitudes, disrupting their established course before dropping the bomb. This approach has been proven to be effective in practice.

But these two* are controlled by autopilot, old experience does not work, they are not afraid of any psychological interference. * One after the other broke into front of this 9,500-ton cruiser.

The biggest disadvantage of the Sakura bomb was that the speed was too low, because the military was very averse to reducing the weight of the warhead, and Makino did not have the aerodynamic design ability necessary to reduce the original bomb body, so he had to use the original bomb body and engine. His conservative approach was to strengthen the armor of the warhead, which could be used both to protect against the penetration of small-caliber shrapnel and to increase the armor-piercing ability of the * itself.

The main anti-aircraft armament of New Orleans was a 40 mm Bofors gun and a large number of 12.7 mm machine guns. The net of fire of either weapon failed to stop it*. * Hit a few times, still drill through the fire net, and all hit the target. The huge explosion was followed by a fire caused by a large amount of surplus fuel. This weapon was originally designed to attack London, and the designers knew that it was difficult to be accurate, so they could only make up for the size and weight of the warhead, and used it to counter the excessive power of the ship.

At this time, it was just over 19 minutes before the radar was turned on. The captain of the Beppu gave the order to continue shooting. This time he targeted the cruiser USS Minnearipos, a ship of the same class in New Orleans.

Beppu is not unaware of the truth that it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers, but today's task is not to simply sink an enemy ship, but to destroy the radar guard ship in front of the enemy's aircraft carrier.

Dazuo didn't care if New Orleans' radar was still working, he was emaciated by the Hitachi radar on his ship, and he knew very well how expensive this kind of thing was, and it wouldn't work if he missed a little, so after being hit by two cherry blossom shells, New Orleans could still maintain an escape speed of 28 knots, but his radar was definitely finished.

Soon the Chiyoda did the same and fired at the second target*. This kind of weapon uses the most primitive radar tracking, command and guidance methods, as long as it is properly jammed in any link, it is impossible to hit the target, because it does not have any active or semi-active homing ability.

After the 419 drone got rid of the entanglement of the P38, it immediately detected the target at a long distance (it was chased by the boring plane for more than 100 kilometers), but the opportunity was missed, and the second wave of attacks by the Japanese ships was also successful. The Minnearipos was slightly wounded, having been hit by only one*, but its anti-aircraft alert capability had also been lost.

Almost at the same time, a Zero fighter slipped past two American cruisers in thick smoke. After throwing away the auxiliary fuel tanks, the pilot still ventured deep into the sea to reconnoitre, and he found the US aircraft group that was gathering in the air far away and the US fleet below, and he did not have time to get close to observe that there were several aircraft carriers in the fleet, so the pilot hurried back and sent a telegram reporting the position of the opponent. After a few hours of interruption, the Japanese ships resumed tracking of the American fleet.

Due to the prior meshing of the target area, the telegram was concise and used in cipherlands.

Nagumo was thrilled by Chiyoda's immortal achievements, and now that those American radars that were in the way of his plane were no longer able to interfere with the movement near his plane route, the position of the hidden Halsey fleet was once again exposed, which couldn't help but make him ecstatic. Judging by the position, the Halsey fleet has already entered the attack radius, and the Americans are ready to strike first.

Of course, at this time, the enemy planes are already on the way, and there may be still an hour away, and it may be too late to avoid them, but this time is enough for him to take off a large number of planes to prepare for countermeasures.

It took him 15 minutes to plot and overturn his original, counter-attacking plan in favour of the attack.

The new plan requires all aircraft carriers to take off the deck as quickly as possible, and this unit is commanded by Osaku Fuchida, and after taking off, it will make some detours to avoid the incoming US aircraft group and carry out a sneak attack on the US fleet. Then all the fighters in the hangar were raised, and these planes took off to form a defensive force to meet the American fighters coming from afar. During takeoff, 5 aircraft carriers carried out scattered evasion.

A P38 that suddenly broke through stirred up the whole situation, of course, Cheng Dayang didn't think that the Americans would suffer much loss, the big deal was to fight hard, and fight a lose-lose situation.
