    ¡°The naval battle of Neon ended on March 12, 1942. This was the first official collision between the Neon Navy Fleet and the Flower Flagship.

    Both parties have their own losses, but they are all controlled within a certain range.

    And the temporary end of this naval battle does not mean that their naval battle is over, because this is just the beginning.

    Neither the Neon Navy Fleet nor the Flower Flagship fleet has withdrawn from the battlefield. They are constantly swimming in this sea area, and at the same time, they are constantly launching reconnaissance planes, hoping to find out the current location of the enemy fleet.

    ¡°Perhaps neither Inoue Narumi nor Fletcher could have imagined that, thousands of meters above them, someone was constantly summarizing all their intelligence into the hands of Pacific Fleet Commander Chen Jiliang.

    On March 14, 1942, one day later, the Neon Navy Fleet collided with the Flower Flagship Fleet again.

    Both sides continued to send carrier-based aircraft from their aircraft carriers over a distance of 120 nautical miles, and at the same time bombers and torpedo planes were also released.

    It¡¯s just that the bombers and torpedo planes still didn¡¯t appear on the frontal battlefield. The bombers and torpedo planes on both sides didn¡¯t know where they were hiding.

    But it is expected to be looking for the aircraft carrier formations of both sides.

    This time, Citigroup obviously had an eye on it. They reserved a lot of carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier. The purpose was to have extra carrier-based aircraft to intercept the Neon Army's bombers and torpedo planes when they arrived.  .

    The Neon Army also has this concern, but because their aircraft carriers are much inferior to those of the United States, the number of aircraft they carry is also quite different. In addition to the previous loss of carrier-based aircraft, this  This also leads to the fact that Neon currently has many fewer carrier-based aircraft compared to Citi.

    The result of this was that when Citi¡¯s torpedo planes and bombers arrived over the Neon Navy fleet, they did not have enough aircraft to intercept them.

    "Baga~ How can these Citizen planes break through our defense line? Are you all just doing it for free? Quick, order the carrier-based aircraft on the front line to return immediately, and at the same time, the carrier-based aircraft left behind will take off immediately to meet the enemy!"

    Narumi Inoue looked at the Citizen plane in the sky, her old face so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water.

    At this time, the Citi pilots in the sky were choosing targets.

    "Escort squadron, cover assault squadron and torpedo squadron operations. Attack the Shoho aircraft carrier with all our strength!"

    Xiangfeng aircraft carrier, this is a light aircraft carrier.  The reason why Citi chose it is because it is a light aircraft carrier with weak armor protection capabilities and the weakest anti-aircraft firepower.

    Whether now or historically, the Neon Navy's anti-aircraft firepower in the early days of World War II can be said to be extremely weak.

    "It can only be said to be a facade. Among the three aircraft carriers, Zuiho and Shokaku have slightly better anti-aircraft firepower, so they chose Shoho.

    Neon¡¯s carrier-based aircraft must return to cover the fleet. There is no doubt about this, so time is limited.

    If you want to sink an aircraft carrier within a limited time, or cause maximum damage to the Neon Navy fleet, it goes without saying that Shoho is the best choice.

    The nine Zero carrier-based aircraft of the Neon Navy Fleet took off.  Citi's escort squadron and fifteen Wildcat carrier-based aircraft also rushed forward instantly.

    The two sides immediately engaged in a killing spree, and the pilots of Citi's bombers and torpedo planes rushed towards the Shoho aircraft carrier, risking the possibility of being shot down by the Neon carrier-based aircraft that suddenly jumped out.

    Kerrigan is a torpedo plane pilot. At this time, he is carefully flying the torpedo plane at low altitude.

    The prevention and control machine guns on the Neon warship were constantly shooting at him, which made it impossible for him to find opportunities to release torpedoes.

    "Damn it! Are you all dead? Kill those damn anti-aircraft machine guns!"

    Kerrigan pointed at the communicator and cursed loudly.

    ¡°Perhaps the dive bombers in the sky heard him, or saw his situation.

    Immediately, several dive bombers began to clear the prevention and control machine guns on the outside of the neon ship.

    When those damn anti-aircraft machine guns finally fell silent, Kerrigan breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the bullet holes in the wing behind him, Kerrigan felt as if he had been in a circle in hell.

    But then he started a turn at a height of about a hundred meters above the sea level, and the plane aimed at the empty sea area in front of him and started flying.

    At the same time, he kept looking at the sailing aircraft carrier Xiangfeng.

    ??Because according to predictions, the aircraft carrier Xiangfeng will pass through here next.

    "God bless! Come a little closer, just let me come a little closer!"

    Kerrigan kept praying in his heart. When according to his prediction, there was still about 800 meters left, he decisively pressed the launch button.

    The torpedo under the belly of the aircraft immediately sank into the sea.

    Immediately afterwards, it dragged the white wave line and soared forward.

    "Torpedo! Avoid! Avoid! Full right rudder!"

    At this time, there was a cry of exclamation in the control room on the Xiangfeng aircraft carrier.

    For a light aircraft carrier like the Shoho, even if a torpedo cannot sink it, it will seriously injure it and slow it down.

    In a naval battle, slowing down or even stagnating is tantamount to death.

    While the sailors of the Shoho were steering the aircraft carrier to avoid the torpedo, the Citi dive bombers in the sky were aiming for the opportunity.

    At this time, it dived down towards the aircraft carrier Xiangfeng.

    "Boom~"

    There was a loud noise, and a thousand-pound aerial bomb fell from the belly of a dive bomber, causing a huge explosion.

    Standing in the command tower of the bridge of the Shoho, Inoue Narumi was thrown down.

    "Your Excellency, Commander, the deck is damaged and the fuel on the deck is on fire!"

    A report made Inoue Narumi feel relieved.

    At the same time, he picked up the telescope and quickly looked at the torpedo.

    Fortunately, the Neon Man escaped this torpedo.

    The thick smoke drifting into Inoue Narumi¡¯s sight made him frown.

    He ignored the Citizen planes in the sky, walked out of the command tower, and looked to the deck.

    At this time, the deck was already engulfed in a sea of ??fire.

    From the deck to the meeting line on the port side, it was a sea of ??fire.

    The fuel accumulated on the deck to refuel the returning aircraft was leaked due to Citi¡¯s bombing, and the flames of the explosion ignited the fuel.

    Inoue Narumi¡¯s face was ashen.

    The deck of the Shoho aircraft carrier is a wooden deck. If it burns like this, even if the fire is extinguished, the aircraft carrier must undergo major repairs before it can be returned to service.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
