Of course, Inoguchi Toshihei could not have forgotten that there was still the coast defense regiment of the Eighth Route Army at sea. When he ordered the fleet to withdraw from Donggang and stay away from the coast, he immediately realized that the coast defense regiment might be waiting on the other side.

Although he knew that he might not be able to pass this level, Toshihei Inoguchi gave a series of orders as much as he could:
"The fleet sails south immediately to join the Second Fleet as soon as possible, and order the Second Fleet to approach me immediately!"

Toshihei Inoguchi hopes to unite the two fleets to increase their strength to face the Eighth Route Army's coastal defense regiment.

Toshihei Inoguchi considered sailing in the direction of Koko and asking the army for help.

But after a moment of hesitation, Toshihei Inoguchi gave up this tempting idea.

This has nothing to do with face, although it is indeed shameless for the mighty navy to ask the army for help, but how much is face worth at a critical moment of life and death!

What's more, Inoguchi Toshihei is not a commander who is extremely opposed to the army like Deputy Takeshi Toyoda.

The reason why Inoguchi Toshihei did not move closer to the direction of the stick to seek the army's assistance was because he knew that the army was unable to assist.

During the previous collaborative communication, Toshihei Inoguchi knew that the Imperial Army was in a state of extreme lack of fuel, and most of the fighters were on the front line to cooperate with the ground forces to launch a fierce attack on the Eighth Route Army.

Now the army is required to give up all combat plans and even its own security and transfer all fighter planes to protect the fleet... This idea is simply unrealistic.

Therefore, Toshihei Inoguchi would rather choose to rely on himself.

At this time, Toshihiro Inoguchi didn't know that the "Ruifeng" was more seriously injured than his "Zuihe", and he hoped to use the "Ruifeng" aircraft carrier to suppress the Eighth Route Army's coastal defense regiment.

Therefore, Toshihei Inoguchi's second order was: "Order all the fighter planes of the 'Zuiho' to take off, and dispatch a squadron to cover the First Fleet!"

Although a flying squadron has only 12 fighters, it is "zero combat", and it is not a problem to face "Wildcats" with one enemy and three.

If the Eighth Route Army had only one aircraft carrier, a squadron could completely protect the safety of the fleet.

However, Toshihei Inoguchi received a reply a few minutes later: "Your Excellency, the 'Zuifeng' was also attacked by missiles from the Eighth Route Army and was severely damaged. It is very likely that the ship will be abandoned!"

"What?" Toshihei Inoguchi was shocked by the news on the spot.

Two aircraft carriers were injured at the same time, and neither of them could take off or land carrier-based aircraft. Does that mean the fleet is doomed!
Cunning Eighth Route Army, this is what they hope to see!

This is indeed a trap set by Wang Xuexin.

The Devil has two fleets while the Eighth Route Army has only one coastal defense regiment, and the strength of each fleet of the Devil is higher than that of the Eighth Route Army Coastal Defense Regiment...at least in the view of the Devil, but Wang Xuexin knows that the Coastal Defense Regiment has enough strength to wipe out one of them. fleet.

But this is not a fleet problem.

The devil's two aircraft carriers can actually fight together.

The straight-line distance from HLD to Donggang is only 500 kilometers, and even if the carrier-based aircraft wants to avoid the protrusion of Dalian and make a detour from the sea, it is only more than [-] kilometers away.

In this way, the fighter planes of the Devil "Ruihe" and "Zuifeng" aircraft carriers can stop each other, and if this one is injured, the other can provide cover for it, and the fighter planes that have already taken off can also land on another aircraft carrier supply.

This is why modern times usually require a "dual aircraft carrier formation"... A single aircraft carrier is too dangerous. Once an aircraft carrier is injured and unable to take off and land, it means complete loss of air supremacy and no power to fight back, but this is not the case with dual aircraft carriers.

Therefore, in order to attack the Devils fleet and cause it to suffer heavy losses, it is necessary to attack its two aircraft carriers at the same time as soon as the war starts.

Being able to sink the "Ruifeng" was an accident. Wang Xuexin originally only hoped to damage it so that it could not take off and land fighter jets.

At this time, Toshihei Inoguchi was in trouble.

There are still more than [-] fighter planes released from the "Zuihe" flying in the sky. If the "Zuifeng" is safe, these fighter planes can still go to sea with the fleet to serve as cover missions until the fighter planes from the "Zuifeng" arrive. They can then land on the Zuiho for supplies.

But now the "Zuifeng" is dead, and the "Zuihe" is injured and unable to take off and land. Although there are fighters in the air, do you dare to fly to the sea with the fleet?

What if I run out of fuel?
Where will it land and where will it be resupplied?

In desperation, Toshihei Inoguchi could only order: "The aviation unit will follow the fleet and return to land before the fuel is exhausted!"

Then he added another order: "Do all the firefighting and repairs, and repair the flight deck as quickly as possible!"

Inoguchi Toshihei hopes to repair the aircraft carrier before the fighter plane runs out of fuel, so that the fighter plane can be recovered.

However, Toshihei Inoguchi also knew that the Eighth Route Army Coast Defense Regiment probably would not give him this opportunity.

Sure enough, after a while, the correspondent reported: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, we found an Eighth Route Army fighter plane! It's a 'Wildcat' fighter plane!"

The appearance of the "Wildcat" fighter at this time was beyond Inoguchi Toshihei's expectation.

Inoguchi Toshihei thought that the Eighth Route Army would wait until the "Zero War" fuel was about to run out before launching an attack, or would continue to attack with anti-ship missiles instead of fighting with fighter planes.

Because "Wildcat" is no match for "Zero Fight".

Then Toshihei Inoguchi thought of a question...

If the anti-ship missiles of the Eighth Route Army can resist jamming, does that mean that air-to-air missiles can also resist jamming?

Thinking of this, Toshihiro Inoguchi swallowed with difficulty. He understood why the Eighth Route Army dispatched the "Wildcat" fighter planes at this time. They didn't leave the Imperial Fleet at all. They clearly wanted to drive the Imperial Fleet to extinction!
Zhukou Minping gritted his teeth and ordered: "Aviation troops, intercept the Eighth Route Army fighter planes! At the same time, prepare to launch 'human missiles'!"

The staff officer thought he heard it wrong, so he reminded: "But your Excellency, Lieutenant General, we don't know the location of the Eighth Route Army Coastal Defense Regiment yet!"

"We don't need to know!" Toshihei Inoguchi replied, "Launch immediately and let them find the Eighth Route Army fleet!"

The staff officer looked at Toshihei Inoguchi in horror.

"Human missiles" are one-time equipment, and there is no turning back after launching them, but Toshihei Inoguchi actually launched them to find the enemy fleet!

The order seemed crazy, but Toshihei Inoguchi was right.

First of all, the range of the "Wildcat" fighter is not good. Its total range is only 1200 kilometers, and its combat radius is only about 400 kilometers: 400 kilometers to fly to the target, 400 kilometers for combat, and 400 kilometers for returning.

In this case, the Eighth Route Army fleet may be two hundred kilometers away from the Imperial Fleet, which is within the range of the "man-operated missile".

More importantly...

Toshihei Inoguchi judged that the Imperial Fleet was about to be "baptized" by Eighth Route Army fighter planes and anti-ship missiles in the ensuing battle.

Under such circumstances, the "man-operated anti-ship missiles" of the Imperial Fleet must not remain on the warship.

Otherwise, they will become time bombs to blow up the warship!
