"Order the warriors to take off! We must wash away our shame!"
Narumi Inoue, who was in the bridge command tower of the Zuikaku aircraft carrier, immediately said angrily after receiving the news that the Citizen fleet was discovered.
"Ha~yi~"
The Neon Army¡¯s carrier-based aircraft, torpedo planes and bombers all took off. The Citizen Fleet, which was more than 160 nautical miles away from the Japanese naval fleet, also took off carrier-based aircraft, torpedo planes and bombers at this time.
Although they wanted to hide and seek with the Neon Army Fleet, now that they have been discovered, they will definitely not be able to hide.
With no other option, Citigroup could only take off carrier-based aircraft to meet the enemy. At the same time, torpedo planes and bombers also adopted the same tactics as yesterday.
"It's just because too many Wildcat carrier-based aircraft were shot down by Citigroup yesterday. There is no way. Today, the number of Wildcat carrier-based aircraft available to Citigroup is seriously lacking."
Therefore, there are only six Wildcat carrier-based aircraft left behind by Citigroup.
The carrier-based aircraft of the Neon Army and the carrier-based aircraft of the Citi Army met again.
It¡¯s just that as soon as today¡¯s Neon Navy carrier-based aircraft encountered the Citi Army, they launched a fierce offensive, and immediately beat the Citi Army carrier-based aircraft to the point where they couldn¡¯t even lift their heads.
It seems that the loss of the Neon Army fleet yesterday made these Neon Army go crazy.
On the other side, the Neon Army's Zero fighter planes covered the torpedo planes and bombers and flew directly to the top of the Citi Army after making a half circle.
Although the Citi Army had just discovered the Neon Army's plane, the ship could not outrun the plane. Even though the Citi Army had tried its best to avoid the Neon Army's plane, they were still caught by them.
With no other choice, Citigroup could only let the six remaining Wildcat carrier-based aircraft take off to meet the enemy. At the same time, the carrier-based aircraft on the front line were recalled to return to cover the fleet.
It¡¯s just that today¡¯s Citizen Navy carrier-based aircraft cannot retreat because the Neon Navy carrier-based aircraft¡¯s offensive is too fierce and they cannot retreat at all.
In fact, even if they retreat, it will be too late.
Because as soon as the Neon Army's carrier-based aircraft saw the six Wildcat carrier-based aircraft, they immediately pounced on them. Within a few seconds, these six Wildcat carrier-based aircraft were killed due to the disadvantages of aircraft performance and quantity.
At the same time, the Neon Army's bombers and torpedo planes began to target the Citigroup aircraft carrier USS Lexington.
Aerial bombs, torpedoes, etc. were constantly thrown at the Lexington.
Today, God is on the side of the Neon Army.
Because the Lexington has a large tonnage and only half a turn, its performance is not flexible enough.
Not long after the Neon Army aircraft attack began, the USS Lexington was hit by two torpedoes.
Immediately afterwards, two more aerial bombs directly hit the Lexington. Even if Citigroup's prevention and control firepower was fully activated, it still could not stop the attack of Neon Army aircraft.
Eight minutes after the attack began, the Lexington had been hit by five torpedoes and six aerial bombs.
There are two torpedoes on the port side and three torpedoes on the starboard side.
As a result, water entered Citicorp's boiler room in three places, the oil depot was penetrated, and the entire aircraft carrier began to tilt seriously.
?Then the Neon Army pilots believed that the aircraft carrier had been sunk by them, unless the Citi Army could repair it instantly, so the Neon Army then began to conduct air attacks on the Citi Army's Yorktown.
After a series of attacks, when the Neon Army torpedo planes and bombers had dropped all their bombs, they finally left.
By this time, the Lexington's list had become more and more serious, and the Yorktown was also seriously damaged. The flight deck near the bridge was penetrated, and thick smoke billowed in the sky.
In a normal attack, the Neon Army only had about thirteen minutes from the time the first bomb was dropped to the time they returned.
Operation Neon Army was successful, they returned, and the carrier-based pilots on the front line were no longer as desperate as before.
At this time, Citigroup¡¯s carrier-based aircraft could finally escape.
When the Citi Force pilots came back one after another, they saw this scene.
The Lexington seemed to have only suffered damage on the deck, and there were not many other injuries. The Yorktown seemed to be more seriously injured because there was still smoke billowing from it.
Of course, this is the understanding of Citi Army pilots, but Fletcher does not think so.
"Is the situation on the Lexington completely under control?"
Fletcher¡¯s face was not pretty, and it seemed even more ugly than Inoue Narumi¡¯s expression.
¡°???Yes! "
Colonel Elliot Bookmas shook his head and continued: "Colonel Frederick Sherman adjusted the fuel on the Lexington, and then the balance was restored. But it was only a superficial phenomenon, just now He called and said that the oil depot had been penetrated, and damage control personnel are still making repairs. Fortunately, there was no explosion in the oil depot!"
Elliot Bookmas couldn¡¯t help but shake his head when he said this. Fuel leakage is also a very serious matter. If you don't do it right, these things will ignite.
"What was the result of our torpedo planes and bombers?"
Fletcher asked after being silent for a few seconds.
When the torpedo planes and bombers of the Neon Army flew over the heads of the Citi Army, the torpedo planes and bombers of the Citi Army also flew over the head of the Neon Army fleet.
After hearing this, Elliot Bookmas said helplessly: "According to the news they sent back, they only severely damaged the two aircraft carriers Zuihe and Xianghe of the Neon Army. Judging from the situation at the time, These two aircraft carriers will not sink!"
¡°Let them all come back, let¡¯s go back to Hawaii!¡±
Fletcher closed his eyes in pain and said. This time, an aircraft carrier was lost in the Pacific and the Yorktown was seriously injured. This situation is not good.
"Are we going back?"
Elliot Bookmas said with some astonishment.
Fletcher breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Of course! This time our mission has been completed. If we don't leave, our losses will be even greater!"
Only then did Elliot Bookmas react. This time their mission was to prevent the Neon Army fleet from reinforcing Port Moresby. Now both of them suffered heavy losses. One of the Neon Army's three aircraft carriers sank. , and two more were seriously injured. Obviously, they were unable to reinforce Port Moresby. On the contrary, they had to quickly return to their homeland to repair the two aircraft carriers.
"good"
When Elliot Bookmas was about to say something, there was a sudden sound of a big explosion in the distance.
He and Fletcher both turned to look at the source of the explosion.
Thick black smoke began to float over the Lexington, and the entire aircraft carrier was burning with hot flames. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
