Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1772
Inoguchi Toshihira's face changed slightly, he took the telegram and looked at it, and asked, "Is the information accurate?"

"Accurate!" The communications soldier replied: "We have received multiple confirmations that the Eighth Route Army's coastal defense regiment has indeed left Hong Kong!"

Toshihiro Inoguchi couldn't help frowning.

The staff officer was puzzled by Toshihei Inoguchi's performance, and asked, "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, don't we... just want to lure the Eighth Route Army's coastal defense regiment out of Dalian Bay?"

Now that the goal has been achieved, he should be happy, why does Inoguchi Toshihei still have such an expression like a dead father.

"The time is wrong!" Toshihei Inoguchi replied, "I thought the Eighth Route Army would wait until dawn before leaving the port, but... they actually left the port after it was dark! Now, they know our location, but we don't know theirs." Location! Also, I heard that the Eighth Route Army imported equipment for night fighters from Yingjiang!"

The staff officer understood immediately after hearing this.

Toshihei Inoguchi was worried about being attacked by the Eighth Route Army fleet at night.

In naval battles, knowing the enemy's position is indeed very important, especially in battles between aircraft carriers, it can even determine the outcome.

Because if we know the enemy's location, we can send fighter planes to attack the enemy fleet.

And if the enemy doesn't know our position, they can only defend passively. Even if the fleet takes off, they don't know which direction to attack. As a result, going around is a waste of fuel and energy.

This was the case with Toshihei Inoguchi's First Fleet at this time.

Since the First Fleet cooperates with the Army to fight on the front line of Donggang, its location is not a secret.

The Eighth Route Army also has night fighters imported from Yingjiang.

This night fighter plane may fly nearby to track the First Fleet all night, that is, the position of the First Fleet is always under the control of the Eighth Route Army.

But the Eighth Route Army fleet sailed out of Dalian Bay and entered the vast open sea. If the devils wanted to find it, it would be tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

Toshihei Inoguchi did not hesitate, and immediately ordered: "All leave Donggang, and take off night fighter planes to search for enemy planes!"

"Yes!" The staff officer responded and passed the order out.

After a while, the devil warships that were still outside Donggang disappeared, and the suppression of naval guns disappeared.

Once the warship left, the Devil Army's offensive would be difficult to advance... Their artillery was once again crushed by the artillery detection radar and could not move.

Soon after sailing, Toshihei Inoguchi received a report of the discovery of an enemy fighter: "It looks like a 'mosquito' bomber of the Eighth Route Army. It is very fast, and we cannot catch it!"

The devil's "Moonlight" night fighter has a speed of only 500 kilometers per hour, while the "mosquito" bomber has a speed of more than 600 kilometers. The difference is not 01:30.

Zhukou Minping couldn't help but gritted his teeth in hatred. The Eighth Route Army took advantage of the home field, and the "mosquito" bombing obviously took off from land.

But Toshihei Inoguchi had no choice.

If the "mosquito" bomber is equipped with a night combat module imported from Yingjiang, it will fly around like a mosquito and be unable to fight or drive away.

Unless...the fleet can get out of the range of the Mosquito bombers.

But this is not realistic.

Because the "mosquito" bomber has a range of more than 2700 kilometers, it is almost impossible for the fleet to maneuver beyond its reconnaissance range overnight.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!" Seeing that Toshihira Inoguchi was frowning, the staff officer comforted him, "Even if the Eighth Route Army knows our location, there is nothing they can do about it. Their 'Wildcat' fighters are probably not capable of night combat, so they sent out the 'Mosquito'!"

Toshihei Inoguchi nodded in agreement.

Because of the experience of fighting against Ying Jiang, the imperial army knew that Ying Jiang's night combat equipment was quite heavy, and it was likely that the "Wildcat" fighter could not afford it, so the "Mosquito" was used.

The staff officer added: "If it's daytime, we only need to send planes to patrol. With the combat power of the 'Wildcat' fighters, I believe that 'Zero War' can still deal with it!"

There's nothing wrong with that.

Even if the "Wildcat" fighter is in the hands of Yingjiang pilots, it is not an opponent of "Zero War", and the pilots of the Eighth Route Army have only trained for a few months. Although they are old pilots, they are not familiar with the performance of "Wildcat" after all. "Of course.

But Toshihei Inoguchi was still worried. He said, "Yamaguchi-san, there is another possibility that they will choose to fight at night with naval guns!"

"Night battle with naval guns?" The staff officer was shocked by Toshihei Inoguchi's bold guess: "However, the Eighth Route Army only has four destroyers and one light cruiser, while we have battleships. They are not as good as us in close combat!"

The battleship mentioned by the staff refers to the "Ise" aviation battleship. This thing can indeed be used as a battleship because of the main gun in front of it, but the firepower is not so strong.

"The key is that we don't know their location!" Toshihei Inoguchi analyzed: "But the Eighth Route Army knows our whereabouts clearly. What if they have mastered our route and waited for us in the dark, and then suddenly launched a sneak attack from the side? ?”

After hearing this, the staff officer fell silent.

Even the Eighth Route Army can still play the old trick of "one shot for another place", suddenly sending a bunch of shells to the Imperial Fleet and then using its mobility to quickly evacuate.

Although the name "Ise" sounded like an aviation battleship, it was modified from a battleship during World War I after all. Its speed was only a sad 25 knots. If it didn't have carrier-based aircraft, it would only be passively beaten.

Then, as if answering Toshihei Inoguchi, fierce gunshots suddenly rang out from the dark sky, followed by the piercing roar of fighter jet engines, and soon the sound of explosions came from the sea.

The communicator rushed up and reported: "Your Excellency, our fighter plane has been shot down!"

Devil's "Moonlight" night fighter is a fake night fighter. The reason why it is called "Moonlight" is probably because it really needs "moonlight" to see the target.

But the Eighth Route Army's "mosquito" bomber modified night fighter is different. It can use radar to search for targets, and coupled with its high speed, shooting "moonlight" at night is as simple as eating vegetables.

This made Inoguchi Toshihei feel even more creepy.

If a night fighter takes off and one is shot down, does that mean that the fleet is like a blind man in the night route?

Was it unfortunate that the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack with aerial cannons he said before was right?

"Everyone, get ready for battle!" Toshihei Inoguchi ordered: "Prepare for a sneak attack by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Yes!"

But this is actually just Toshihei Inoguchi scaring himself.

Naval guns fire in swaying water, so it is difficult to hit them during the day, let alone at night?

What's more, the Eighth Route Army has laser-guided anti-ship missiles, so how could it choose to fight hard with the Devils fleet at close range at night!
But the devil doesn't know this.

Moreover, Wang Xuexin just hoped that the devils could "misunderstand".
