Take Taobao to fight against Japan

Although the anti-aircraft firepower of the U.S. warships was fierce, the U.S. fighter pilots responsible for intercepting were also working hard.

But without precision-guided missiles, it would be impossible to kill 2 Japanese aircraft in just one to two minutes.

In the end, more than 200 Japanese combat aircraft passed through the air defense firepower network of the battleship group and rushed straight to the rear aircraft carrier group.

In the face of these Japanese aircraft groups showing their fangs, the air defense firepower of the aircraft carrier group will naturally not be idle, even if several aircraft carriers are busy putting out the fire.

"Baga! Die, die!"

Soon, Guan Xingnan locked the attack target, which was a U.S. aircraft carrier that was emitting heavy smoke and a large number of U.S. soldiers on the deck were urgently putting out the fire.

From a distance of several thousand meters, it is only 30 to [-] seconds for a full-speed dive Zero fighter.

Kakaka, the Zero fighter itself is not strong. Under such a violent dive, the whole fuselage emits a heart-pounding tearing sound, as if it will disintegrate under the pressure in the next second.

But Guan Xingnan didn't care about these at all. He only had one thought at the moment, which was to complete the feat of replacing one aircraft with one ship before the US fighter planes behind him caught up with him.

However, due to the considerable damage to this aircraft carrier, the anti-aircraft firepower appeared to be very insufficient. Although the U.S. sailors tried their best to fire and intercept it, there was no way to prevent the tragedy from happening.

"Don't come, my favorite wife, if there is an afterlife, I will be your lover!"

With the last remnants and nostalgia, Guan Xingnan slammed into the deck of the U.S. aircraft carrier, and the Zero fighter jet loaded with high explosives instantly blasted a cloud into the sky.

The powerful explosion shock wave swept everything around, swallowing dozens of US sailors around in an instant, causing them to be blown to pieces before they had time to react.

Immediately afterwards, under the mixed action of explosives and gasoline, an uncontrollable raging fire erupted on the deck of the aircraft carrier, turning the entire aircraft carrier into a sea of ​​flames!

At the same time, other members of the kamikaze special attack team also locked on the attack target one after another, all of them launched a final desperate charge with red eyes and throats.

In addition, those dive bombers and torpedo planes were not idle, and they all used all means and strength to attack the US aircraft carrier group desperately.

Boom boom boom!

Earth-shattering explosions followed one after another. Under this round of fierce and crazy attacks, the US aircraft carrier group suffered huge losses. Nearly half of the aircraft carriers and escort aircraft carriers suffered serious injuries and suffered heavy casualties!

Even under the infection of the kamikaze special attack team, many Japanese pilots who did not have suicide attack instructions also started suicide attacks.

Because they also saw that the US military fighter group in the rear was too powerful. Even if they completed the normal bombing, they might not be able to return safely.

Rather than die aggrieved on the way to escape, it is better to die vigorously like a kamikaze special attack team member!

As a result, the wind helped the fire, and more than 30 Japanese bomber pilots slammed into the surrounding US aircraft carriers, supply ships, and even escort warships one after another. The loss of the US fleet became more and more serious.

"Okay! Crazy, all crazy! These Japanese are really a bunch of lunatics!"

Mitchell was dumbfounded. He never thought that things would turn out like this. The seriousness of the situation far exceeded expectations.

At this moment, even if they can shoot down all these crazy Japanese planes in front of them, they can't make up for today's loss.

Chapter 1605 I Really Can't Stand It

"A group of devils! All die!"

"Gentlemen, these devils must not be let go!"

"Kill them all! Leave no one behind!"

The hellish scene in front of him not only made Mitchell dumbfounded, but also made the surrounding American pilots red-eyed, and a hundred thousand mud horses ran away in their hearts!

The angry American pilots chased after them, vowing to blow up all the Japanese planes and make them pay with their lives.

After the bomb was still light, the Japanese bomber pilots didn't dare to stay for a long time. They scattered and fled frantically towards Guam and Iwo Jima at the fastest speed.

However, sooner or later, they will have to pay back when they come out to hang out. If they want to escape and ascend to the sky under the wrath of the American fighter pilots, they can only describe it as difficult to go to the sky!

It goes without saying that what follows will be a merciless unilateral massacre!

The second attack wave of the largest Japanese aircraft was intercepted by American fighter planes again. American F6F fighter planes chased after the Japanese bombers with poor technology and outdated performance, and finally turned into a massacre in the air. At least 120 Japanese aircraft were intercepted and attacked Was shot down during the chase.

"Yosi! Imperial air warriors, well done!"

"Damn Yankees, let's see how arrogant you are now!"

"The Great Japanese Empire is invincible!"

"Warriors of the Imperial Aviation Corps, you will surely pass on your fame forever, and the people of the Imperial Japanese Empire will always remember your great contribution!"

At this time, Japanese generals such as Chuichi Nagumo, Yoshiji Saito, and Keiji, as well as many Japanese soldiers, witnessed the tragic sea and air battle in front of them on the island of Saipan tens of kilometers away from the battle site.

Especially when they saw one American ship after another being blown up into flames and thick smoke billowing, they all felt an unstoppable sense of revenge, even though they could see that the aviation regiment that attacked the fleet paid for it. Very tragic price.

But at this time, in their view, as long as they can deal an unbearable heavy blow to the US fleet, no matter how much they pay, everything is worth it.

After the U.S. military pursued and killed the aircraft group, Saito Yoshiji put down the binoculars, looked back at Nagumo Tadaichi and the others and said:

"Nayun-kun, the warriors of the Imperial Navy Air Force have done their best, and they have caused unimaginable damage to the U.S. aircraft carrier fleet with their lives and flesh and blood.

If the next one can further damage the US aircraft carrier group, then Saipan's urgent need is still very hopeful to be resolved! "

Nan Yunzhong said with a smile: "That is inevitable! Ozawa-kun will launch four waves of large-scale air strikes this time, and there are still a large number of Imperial Air Forces participating in the battle in Guam, Rota Island, and Ogasawara Islands. In this battle, we will It must be able to deal a devastating blow to the US Air Corps!"

Speaking of this, Nanyun Zhongyi glanced around the crowd, and said loudly with pride, "So, please wait and see, the Imperial Navy will definitely create history and create miracles, and the Great Sun Empire will also be able to overcome difficulties and achieve The long-cherished wish of the great rise of the Yamato nation for thousands of years!"

Hero Yano was very excited and said: "Yes, as long as the US aircraft carrier group is eliminated first and its aviation power is destroyed, the United Fleet of the Empire of Japan can start a warship duel with the US fleet. The powerful battleship Yamato and Musashi Battleships can definitely sweep everything!"

"Suoga, at that time, with the cooperation of the Imperial Fleet and the powerful firepower of the Yamato battleship, we can tear all the Yankees on the island to pieces!"

Hearing this, Saito Yoshiji's face almost died of laughter, and an abnormal flush appeared on his cheeks.

Over the past few days, not only have many counterattacks cost nothing, but even the best defensive battles have been retreating under the strong attack power of the US military, and even now they have only their last breath left.

Such continuous blows have long filled Saito Yoshiji with anger, aggrieved, and even despair.

Well now, it seems that everything is fine, and it seems that Saipan can still be rescued!

Thinking of these, Saito Yoshiji suddenly felt a strong pleasure of rewarding all hardships and revenge.

The feeling of surviving a desperate situation and destroying the enemy with a backhand group is really wonderful!

"That's right, the final victory must belong to the Great Japanese Empire!"

"Quickly, tell all the warriors of the Empire this good news!"

"Tell them that the combined imperial fleet will soon defeat the US fleet, and reinforcements will land on Saipan soon!"

"Suoga! The warriors of the Empire have been waiting for this moment for a long time!"

"..."

Driven by the rhythm of wave after wave, all the devil officers around were all excited, as if they were really about to come back!

"Your Excellency, as of now, the fleet has lost four aircraft carriers, three escort aircraft carriers, another three aircraft carriers, and four escort aircraft carriers have suffered heavy damage,..."

"According to preliminary statistics, the air forces that attacked Rota Island and Guam shot down more than 270 Japanese aircraft, and 142 of them were damaged. The remaining 220 aircraft are returning!"

"Report to General Mitchell, it's not good, another group of Japanese aircraft is flying from the direction of the Ogasawara Islands, the number of which is no less than 500!"

"What? How did this happen? Haven't the Japanese planes in the Ogasawara Islands been cleared away? Why are there so many enemy planes all of a sudden?"

"Is the information really correct?"

As the bad news came together one after another, Mitchell was in a bad mood and could no longer keep calm. ,

He never imagined that the Japanese would be able to concentrate such a powerful aviation force in a short period of time, and be able to fight such a fierce counterattack.

At present, all the fighter groups in his hands have taken off and are performing combat missions, especially the first groups to attack Guam and Rota Island are running out of fuel and urgently need recovery operations.

And at this critical moment, such a huge aviation regiment will unexpectedly emerge from the direction of the Ogasawara Islands!

Thinking that the densely packed Japanese planes were coming to make trouble again, Mitchell's mind went blank.

The previous crazy suicide attack by the Japanese army had left Mitchell with a heavy psychological shadow. He really couldn't imagine what kind of devastating blow the entire fleet would suffer without the protection of fighter jets!

"Immediately order all fighter jets to stop pursuing and return to the airspace of the fleet immediately!"

"Quickly, give General Spruance an electric power immediately, and ask him to launch all the fighter planes of the rear escort fleet to support us!"

"The entire fleet lifts anchor and retreats at full speed immediately!"

"In addition, immediately send power to General Smith, tell him the truth about the current plight of the naval fleet, and prepare the landing troops mentally. I am afraid that the fleet will not be able to provide them with effective support in a short time..."

Unable to shudder, Mitchell quickly issued several orders.The situation has completely exceeded expectations, and all tactics must be adjusted now, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

As for the tens of thousands of landing troops on Saipan, Mitchell can no longer take care of them at this moment. The most important thing at the moment is to stop losses in time and keep the fleet aircraft carrier group.

"What? Do the Japanese still have such a powerful aviation force? How is this possible!"

Spruance, who was waiting for further news at the rear, turned pale when he heard the bad news. He couldn't believe that the news he just heard was true!

Chapter 1606 Take back your fist first

"Yes, Commander, the situation is indeed very bad now! I'm afraid our fleet must temporarily withdraw from the Mariana Islands!"

Naval Fleet Staff Officer Abbott nodded with a serious expression, and then said, "After all, the Mariana Islands are an absolute defense circle that the Japanese must defend, and it is not too far from their homeland and overseas colonies.

Under such circumstances, they do have the reason and ability to mobilize powerful aviation forces to participate in the battle!

However, our intelligence was obviously wrong, and we did not know the real air power of the Japanese army accurately enough! "

"Having said that, how can we retreat easily? In that case, wouldn't the tens of thousands of army troops on Saipan be in danger?"

Spruance frowned deeply. This was a very difficult and bad decision. He had decided that he was already very cautious, but he did not expect that the Japanese would still give him a big "surprise".

Abt said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, although things are very bad, the worst thing is that when our aviation power is completely exhausted, the Japanese battleships swarmed up and launched a battleship confrontation against us. It will be devastating."

Spruance was shocked and said: "Do you mean that the Japanese warships will soon come out in full force, seeking to engage in a warship confrontation with us?"

Abbott nodded and said: "According to my judgment, this is very likely to become a reality. This time the Japanese fleet sent a total of 9 battleships, including the two most powerful Yamato-class battleships.

Obviously, they did this because they were in a hurry and wanted to put all their eggs in one basket. Once there was a chance for a warship duel, they would definitely not let it go! "

"I buy it! That's not acceptable!"

Spruance shook his head hastily. Although the U.S. Fifth Fleet and the Expeditionary Fleet are also very strong and have great firepower, Spruance has never considered a close-range life-or-death confrontation with the main Japanese warships. .

Because that would be tantamount to abolishing martial arts and using one's own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths.

Spruance is even more aware that if we only talk about the combat effectiveness of warships, I am afraid that the US battleships may not necessarily be the opponents of the Japanese battleships. After all, the US Navy is too young.

And once the warship duel starts, it can only be described as bloodshed. Even if the US fleet finally wins by virtue of its numerical advantage, it will definitely bleed and pay an unimaginable heavy price!

At this time, Abbott continued: "The current situation will definitely not be unmanageable, as long as we can temporarily avoid the edge, we will definitely be able to regain our strength.

If the aircraft carrier battle group under General MacArthur can set off immediately to support, it can be put into battle in at most two days, and the air supremacy of the Mariana Islands will definitely be regained by then.

The crisis of the troops on the island will naturally be resolved. As long as they can grit their teeth and guard their positions, the casualties will not be too serious. "

"Okay! You are right. Only by withdrawing your fist first can you strike more powerfully! You immediately convey our opinion to General Mitchell, hoping that he can make a wise decision! In addition, send a message to General MacArthur Call urgently,..."

Spruance nodded his head helplessly. Although he was very reluctant to admit his cowardice like this, let alone bow his head to ask for help, but the situation was critical at this time, and he couldn't allow him to care about face or anything.

At this time, the Japanese combat aircraft group that killed the Ogasawara Islands had begun to engage in fire with the American fighter group, mainly F6F Hellcat fighter jets, and the extremely fierce sea-air battle was staged again.

Although the Japanese escort fighters are almost all Rafale fighters, their overall performance is even better than that of the Hellcat fighters, and they seem to have a lot of advantages.

Fortunately, after a series of intense wars of attrition, the quality of Japanese pilots has seriously declined. A large number of pilots are young people who have just graduated from the flight academy, and their psychological quality and actual combat ability are much worse.

Therefore, under the fierce interception of the U.S. fighter pilots, the 570 combat aircraft that took off from the Ogasawara Islands fell into a bitter battle as soon as they met, and a large number of bombers and fighter jets were shot down on the spot.

Otherwise, the Fifth Fleet of the U.S. Army would really have to be severely beaten and torn off a large piece of flesh this time.

However, under the desperate charge of the Japanese pilots, they not only shot down a large number of American fighter jets, but more than half of the bombers successfully broke through, and then they threw bombs and torpedoes against the powerful air defense firepower of the fleet!

The U.S. fleet, which had already suffered heavy casualties, was hit hard again, especially the aircraft carrier group, which attracted the most hatred, was "a leak in the house happened to rain overnight."

The flagship of the First Mobile Fleet of Japan's Combined Fleet, the command module of the Zuikaku aircraft carrier.

Jisaburo Ozawa stood on the deck, staring intently at the third wave of 97 planes taking off, and refused to look back until they disappeared into the distant sky.

For this decisive battle in the Philippine Sea, the Japanese army can be said to have done their best, and all the ships of the United Fleet that can maneuver were recruited.

This battle is not only related to the safety of the Mariana Islands, but also to the success or failure of the Japanese Navy, and more importantly, the future and destiny of the homeland security empire. The pressure on Ozawa Jisaburo's heart can be imagined.

So far, Ozawa Jisaburo has only received one bad news. In the first wave of 104 combat aircraft, only 16 combat aircraft were able to reach Guam safely.

Their record is nothing more than sinking a light aircraft carrier and causing several aircraft carriers to suffer a certain degree of damage.

Nearly 100 combat aircraft were replaced by a light aircraft carrier, no matter what, it didn't take advantage of it!

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, good news! Great news!"

After waiting anxiously for an unknown amount of time, another communication staff officer rushed over excitedly. Before the person arrived, the voice came first:

"General Nagumo of Saipan Island sent an urgent call! Under the onslaught of the imperial air warriors, the US aircraft carrier group suffered heavy damage. So far at least 8 ships have been sunk and destroyed, and another 6 ships have suffered heavy damage.
