    Destiny, this is a magical thing.  Historically, the Lexington was not directly sunk by Neon aircraft.

    After the Neon plane left, he also adjusted the fuel to restore the balance of the aircraft carrier and accepted the returning carrier-based aircraft.  Later, a fuel leak caused an explosion, and then a raging fire, and the ship had to be abandoned when the fire was uncontrollable.

    What¡¯s interesting is that it¡¯s still the case this time.  An oil depot explosion occurred on the Lexington, and finally Captain Frederick Sherman, the captain of the Lexington, had to give the order to abandon the ship.

    At three o'clock in the afternoon, Citi asked the destroyer to fire five torpedoes at the aircraft carrier and then left the sea area.

    About an hour and a half after they left, two aircraft similar in shape to the Wildcat carrier-based aircraft appeared in the sky above the sea area, but they looked like upgraded versions of the Wildcat carrier-based aircraft.

    Yes, they are Hellcat carrier-based aircraft. Currently, there is only one country in the world equipped with Hellcat carrier-based aircraft, and that is China.

    The identities of these two carrier-based aircraft are self-evident. They are naturally the Hellcat carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Pacific Fleet.

    The two pilots circled over the wreckage of the USS Lexington for a while and then returned.

    "Old Chen, the reconnaissance plane is back. The naval battle between Citigroup and Neon should be considered over. One of Citigroup's aircraft carriers was sunk and is now abandoned on the sea. It is estimated that it will be silent for a while!"

    Jia Qin looked at Chen Jiliang and said.

    "A Citizen aircraft carrier was sunk? Do you know what aircraft carrier it was?"

    Chen Jiliang asked, raising his eyebrows.

    ¡°Based on the rough outline and the remaining conditions on it, the reconnaissance pilot believes it should be Citi¡¯s Lexington aircraft carrier!¡±

    As belligerent countries, these countries have pictures and some basic understanding of some important warships of the enemy.

    As for what kind of aircraft carrier it is, most reconnaissance aircraft pilots will recognize it as long as they make no mistakes.

    "The USS Lexington?"

    A smile appeared on Chen Jiliang's old face.

    "This time Citi suffered a lot of losses! Neon only lost a light aircraft carrier, but Citi lost a heavy aircraft carrier. And there were so many carrier-based aircraft and pilots lost!"

    Jia Qin couldn't help but marveled when he said this.  Citi's Lexington returned to the Pacific as if just to be sunk.

    Although Jia Qin sighed, Chen Jiliang did not.

    Instead, he slowly shook his head and said: "You are wrong! Although tactically, it seems that Neon won. They exchanged a light aircraft carrier for a Citi heavy aircraft carrier. But strategically speaking, Neon won this time.  Hong was defeated, and defeated completely."

    Jia Qin didn't react when he heard Chen Jiliang's words. He was a little stunned. He was thinking about what Chen Jiliang meant.

    Seeing Jia Qin lost in thought, Chen Jiliang shook his head and said nothing more.

    In this naval battle, it seemed that Neon had achieved a certain victory, but in fact they were unable to support Port Moresby.  And Port Moresby could not be taken.  Neon's mission of taking over Papua Guinea would be impossible.

    This marks the island of Papua Guinea, which is likely to become a thorn in the neon sphere of influence.

    The Battle of the Coral Sea, which ended on March 15, 1942, spread throughout the world. This duel between aircraft carriers attracted great attention from the world's naval community.

    At the same time, the voice of aircraft carriers as the mainstream of the times has begun to become stronger and stronger.

    And just when the outside world was re-evaluating the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier, it was eighty nautical miles north of Oahu.

    There is a huge fleet parked there.

    A fleet of four aircraft carriers, five heavy cruisers and other ships. Such a fleet can be considered a large fleet in the entire current Pacific Ocean.

    Needless to say, this is naturally the fleet sent by China to attack Pearl Harbor.

    Cao Guosheng, a middle-aged man who is 42 years old and almost 43 years old, is the current Vice Admiral of the Navy.

    At this time, he was at the time when he had the richest experience and the most energy in his life.  At this time, he was standing on the deck of the aircraft carrier, looking at the dark night on the sea, his eyes narrowed slightly.

    "Commander! Telegram from the headquarters!"

    At this moment, a staff officer ran over and said.

    Cao Guosheng nodded and took it. Originally, he had arrived three hundred miles north of Oahu a few days ago, but at that time the Battle of the Coral Sea broke out.That is, the high command sent a telegram ordering him to suspend the attack and wait until the Battle of Coral Sea before making a decision.

    So he docked the fleet more than 300 nautical miles north of Oahu.

    Yesterday afternoon, an aircraft carrier in Neon was sunk. The country believed that the naval battle between Neon and Citi was about to end, so it was asked to arrive closer to the north of Oahu this afternoon.

    So tonight, he is eighty nautical miles north of Oahu.

    Cao Guosheng looked at it for a while before putting down the telegram in his hand.

    "Has the order been changed? Instead of attacking naval ports, attack land targets!"

    Cao Guosheng held the telegram in his hands and murmured to himself.

    He was silent here for a while and then whispered softly: "Staff, record the order! The order is to start executing the plan in the early morning of the 16th. In addition, the plan has been changed, and Citiport and dock facilities are not allowed to be attacked.

    In addition, Citigroup¡¯s oil depots will not be attacked for the time being, but other places and populations will be attacked.  Try to cause maximum damage to Citi!  "

    "yes!"

    The staff officer left, but Cao Guosheng was still puzzled.

    According to his idea, destroying Citi¡¯s port and dock facilities is the most valuable and the most important thing for Citi. But why did China abandon this plan?

    Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about these things. He was just a commander of a small naval fleet and a vice admiral!

    There are so many fleet commanders and people from the Navy above him, so he doesn't have to think about these issues yet.

    At 4:30 in the morning the next day, Cao Guosheng was already up. At the same time, the pilots were fully prepared and boarded their planes.

    "Boys, are you ready?"

    Cao Guosheng walked to the deck, looked at the pilots who were sitting in the plane but had not yet closed the cabin cover, and asked loudly.

    "Always be prepared!" (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
