When Neon was full of suspicion towards China, a large sea battle was taking place in the area of ??Midway Island in the Pacific Ocean.
The naval battle has been going on for several days, and the carrier-based aircraft of both sides have been fighting continuously. Now with the consumption of carrier-based aircraft in the past few days, the consumption of carrier-based aircraft of both sides is relatively large.
And it is precisely because the carrier-based aircraft of both sides consume relatively large amounts of money that they have begun to be unable to completely intercept enemy torpedo planes, dive bombers and other aircraft.
Neon Navy Fleet, aircraft carrier Akagi, in the bridge command tower.
"Your Excellency, Commander, our battleships cannot get close to their fleet. Their torpedo planes and bombers are very tightly defended. The Citizen fleet is always on the move, and we cannot lock their specific location!"
A staff officer stood in front of Nan Yunzhong and said in a deep voice.
The naval battles in the past few days have made Neon know one thing, that is, their six aircraft carriers cannot suppress Citigroup's five aircraft carriers.
Originally, they thought that Citigroup only had four aircraft carriers. After all, there was still a Yorktown under repair at Pearl Harbor. Who knows the result? Only when the war actually started did they know that Citigroup had not four aircraft carriers, but five aircraft carriers.
Their aircraft carrier Yorktown reluctantly went into battle.
This is something that the Neon people did not expect, and the overwhelming advantage that was originally expected is gone.
The air battles during this period made them understand that although their own Zero carriers could suppress Citigroup's carrier-based aircraft, Citigroup's carrier-based aircraft were not really that vulnerable. At least since the air battles in the past few days, they The Zero carrier-based aircraft did not fare well either.
"I see!"
Nan Yunzhong stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the chart in front of him, his brows furrowed tightly.
Originally, I thought that by setting up a task force this time, with aircraft carriers and battleships fighting together, and with one more aircraft carrier than the enemy, we would be able to suppress them.
Who would have known that the fight has turned into a war of attrition, using up a lot of our own carrier-based aircraft. Even now, every time we go into battle, there are fewer and fewer carrier-based aircraft left behind.
After looking at it for a while, Nan Yunzhong said softly: "Those areas have we searched and confirmed that there is no Citizen Aircraft Carrier Fleet?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, this cannot be confirmed, because there have always been dark clouds in the past few days. After our reconnaissance plane discovered the Citigroup fleet, they disappeared not long after."
Nan Yunzhong¡¯s brows furrowed tightly.
"It seems that our battleships are destined to be useless in this battle. But it's okay, let them see the power of the aircraft carrier!"
Nan Yunzhong took a deep breath and said, he was originally the commander of the First Air Force, so he was naturally a die-hard aircraft carrier supporter.
The day's air battle was over, and the planes of Citi Army and Neon Army began to return.
Nagumo Chu, on the other hand, reported the results of the Neon battle to Sugimoto as required.
The results of the battle were reported, but Sugimoto was obviously not interested in Nagumo Chu's results.
What he wants is to destroy the Citigroup fleet, not how many Citigroup carrier-based aircraft to destroy today or how many to destroy tomorrow, nor does he want to see his own casualty data.
So he issued strict orders to Nan Yunzhong.
That is, these five aircraft carriers of Citigroup must be eaten within a certain period of time.
Nagumo Chu knows that when Sugimoto says this, it means that the domestic base camp is dissatisfied with him.
He must perform well in the coming time, otherwise his position as commander of the First Air Force will be unstable.
¡°In fact, it is not Nagumo who is more anxious now but Citigroup.
In the past few days, Neon's Zero carrier-based aircraft has consumed a lot, but Citigroup's carrier-based aircraft has consumed even more.
"General Fletcher, do you think we have a chance of victory?"
Captain Murray, the captain of the USS Enterprise, is now also the deputy of the aircraft carrier task force. Fletcher set the naval flagship on the USS Enterprise.
Fletcher glanced at him, and then whispered: "We will continue to fight even if there is no hope of victory. Don't forget, we have no way to retreat!"
Fletcher¡¯s words made him stunned for a moment, and then he was speechless, because Fletcher was right, they had no place to retreat. Midway Island is the gateway to the Hawaiian Islands. If Midway Island is lost, the Hawaiian Islands will be in danger.
While Colonel Murray was speechless, a suddenBut a staff officer came over with a telegram.
"General Fletcher, General Niemi call back!"
As a crucial naval battle, not only the frontline generals on both sides are worried, but senior generals like Nimi at the back are also worried about this war.
If they were not needed to coordinate the overall situation, it is estimated that he would probably go to Midway Island to personally command the battle.
Fletcher took the telegram and read it. After more than ten seconds, he put down the telegram with a sad face.
Because Nimi¡¯s tone in the telegram and Sugimoto¡¯s instructing Nagumo Tadashi taught him.
The Neon People can¡¯t afford it, and the Citi Army can¡¯t even afford it.
Because once the Citi Army's HNA carrier-based aircraft consume too much here, without achieving great results, and without destroying the Neon Fleet's air meters, it will be fatal to the Citi Army.
Because the Chinese Pacific Fleet has not yet participated in the war. If the Citi Fleet and Neon Fleet have to retreat due to excessive consumption of carrier-based aircraft. This may not seem like much, but if the Chinese fleet suddenly appeared at this time, what kind of blow would it be to them?
That¡¯s why Niemi asked Fletcher to make a quick decision and find a way to use all available methods to eliminate the Neon Navy fleet.
After receiving almost the same order, both sides launched a fierce offensive the next morning. ,
At the same time, the fleets of both sides began to move closer to each other.
By noon, the two fleets had locked the general position of the other fleet almost within the same hour.
"Yo Xi! I didn't expect that the Citigroup fleet was actually approaching us. Very good, order the plane to load bombs immediately and prepare to take off!"
Nan Yunzhong gave the order with excitement in his command tower.
"Ha~yi~"
When Nagumo ordered Neon's planes to prepare to bomb the Citi Fleet with bombs, the torpedo planes and bomber groups taking off from the Citi Fleet were already approaching the Neon Navy fleet.
Because the Citizen Fleet has radar, they cannot detect the location of the Neon Navy Fleet, but once a plane from the Neon Navy Fleet takes off, they can detect it immediately.
By using this method, they locked onto each other's position earlier than Neon. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
