Invincible from the sword

Chapter 388 The plan is simply perfect

Anan Weiji immediately ordered his troops to assemble.

The entire No.15 Army immediately assembled at the port of Mindanao, waiting for the troop carrier.

After receiving the order from Yamamoto 56, Vice Admiral Inoue Narumi of the island country immediately ordered his fleet to leave Malaya and head straight for Mindanao, although he was very upset.

Of course, those who go to Mindanao are basically troop carriers.

The main force of Narumi Inoue's fleet is gathering around the Coral Sea.

He received an order from Yamamoto 56, and the main fleet rushed to the Coral Sea first.

Provide cover for the landing force.

Prevent the warships of the lighthouse country from launching a sneak attack.

Yamamoto56 is a very cautious person.

He always felt that the Pacific Fleet of the lighthouse country would not be silent at all.

After all, the headquarters of the Inoue Narumi Fleet is located in Birabul, and it is only a few hundred kilometers away from the Kangaroo Country.

Narumi Inoue also agrees with Yamamoto 56's judgment.

To this end, he sent out the fleet of seaplanes.

Scouting around the Coral Sea.

If you find the fleet of the lighthouse country, attack immediately.

Even in Narumi Inoue's heart, there was still a hint of expectation.

If he can annihilate the fleet of the Lighthouse Country in one fell swoop in the Coral Sea, then Narumi Inoue can become a famous general like Yamamoto 56.

When Pearl Harbor was attacked, Narumi Inoue missed him.

The whole credit falls on the heads of Yamamoto 56 and Nagumo Chuichi.

This made Inoue Narumi very upset.

He always felt that he was awesome.

Chuichi Nagumo was just lucky.

If Narumi Inoue can defeat the fleet of the Lighthouse Country this time, then there is no problem with his reputation surpassing Nagumo Chuichi.

On the deep blue sea, the huge Japanese fleet is advancing rapidly.

Narumi Inoue was wearing an island black navy navy suit with a cloth cap on her head.

Around his neck hung a black telescope.

There was still a piece of white cloth on the telescope.

Kind of like a butt wipe.

Narumi Inoue stood in the command room of the Zuikaku aircraft carrier, observing the sea with a telescope.

The weather was gloomy.

There is a lot of fog.

Such weather is not conducive to combat.

Is the fleet of the lighthouse country in the Coral Sea?
Inoue Narumi frowned.

pondered the possibility.

Just as Inoue Chengmei was darkening, a devil lieutenant came over with a telegram in his hand: "Report to Commander Inoue that one of our seaplanes was blown up in Tulagi."

Nani?

Tulagi?
Inoue Chengmei frowned immediately: "Is it the plane we sent out today?"

The ghost lieutenant shook his head: "No, it's another one."

idiot……

Tulagi?
Narumi Inoue hurried to the table next to her.

There is a map of the Coral Sea.

The map is full of small islands.

Tulagi Island is not far from Guadalcanal Island.

It is a relatively large island around the Coral Sea.

On Tulagi Island, there are about a thousand ground troops stationed.

In addition, Tulagi's geographical location is also very important.

The sudden appearance of the lighthouse country's fleet here is definitely not accidental.

Narumi Inoue frowned and asked, "How many warships does the opponent have?"

Lieutenant Guizi said: "According to the telegram, the guards at Tulagi Island say that there is probably an aircraft carrier and seven to eight warships.

The exact model is unclear. "

Nani?

Narumi Inoue was taken aback.

aircraft carrier?This is a big fish!
Narumi Inoue immediately issued a combat order: "Order the fifth aircraft carrier formation to advance to Tulagi immediately.

At the same time, the Fourth Fleet was ordered to quickly advance to Port Moresby on the island of New Guinea.

Prepare to attack from the flank. "

The fleet commanded by Narumi Inoue includes the Fourth Fleet and the Fifth Aircraft Carrier Group.

Among them, the Fourth Fleet consists of the aircraft carrier Xiangfeng and four heavy cruisers.

The fifth aircraft carrier formation consists of two aircraft carriers Ruihe and Xianghe, two heavy cruisers and six destroyers.

Narumi Inoue's plan is to fight from the front of the fifth aircraft carrier formation to attract the lighthouse fleet.

The Fourth Fleet, on the other hand, detoured to the flank of the Lighthouse Fleet and carried out a surprise attack.

In this way, the aircraft on the Xiangfeng aircraft carrier can carry out bombing when the aircraft carrier of the Lighthouse Country is not protected by aircraft.

The plan is simply perfect!
Narumi Inoue sighed.

I'm such a genius!
However, Narumi Inoue obviously forgot that although the Xiangfeng is known as an aircraft carrier, its performance is very weak because it was refitted from a medium-sized cruiser.

Only thirty aircraft can be carried.

Such a carrying quantity is simply incomparable with several other aircraft carriers.

And it's very slow.

Takagi, commander of the Japanese Fourth Fleet, sent a telegram expressing his concerns.

After all, Xiangfeng's offensive ability is really not very good.

The number of thirty aircraft is still too small.

There must be fighter jets, torpedo planes, bombers, and reconnaissance planes.

At that time, there will be no more than twenty aircraft that can be put into attack.

This made Inoue Narumi very upset.

You bastard Takagi, just let you detour.

What a fool!
After Inoue Narumi sent Takagi a reprimand telegram, Takagi reluctantly set off.

At this time, the No.17 Task Force of the Lighthouse Country had already arrived at the Coral Sea.

Commander Fletcher sent out all the reconnaissance planes in his hands.

Soon, Fletcher received a telegram from the reconnaissance plane.

The Japanese aircraft carrier formation was discovered.

The telegram excited Fletcher.

Immediately ordered that all the planes on the Yorktown and Lexington be dispatched.

At this time, the decks of the aircraft carriers USS Yorktown and USS Lexington were full of aircraft.

The propellers in the front of the plane hummed and spun.

Line up for takeoff.

Takagi, the commander of the Japanese Fourth Fleet, always felt that something was wrong.

His eyelids kept twitching.

This made Takagi very nervous.

Jump right eye jump Choi disaster.

Which eye of mine was jumping just now?

Takagi was nervous, when a ghost shouted from his command room: "At three o'clock, we found an enemy plane.

Fifty! "

The one who reported was a devil from a cruiser observation post.

This report shocked Takagi.

The face is distorted.

Hurry up and order that all devils enter the combat position and prepare to fight.

At this time, the aircraft on the Xiangfeng aircraft carrier was too late to take off.

Looking at the deck full of planes, Takagi almost spat out blood.

Fortunately, these planes have not yet carried bombs.

Takagi held the binoculars and nervously observed the little black spots flying all over the sky.

Ok?
Seeing the fleet getting closer and closer, Takagi froze for a moment.

Why has he never seen this kind of aircraft?
The speed of the plane was very fast. Just when Takagi was stunned, fifty planes had already aimed at the aircraft carrier Xiangfeng.

Takagi's fleet has a total of four heavy cruisers.

In order to protect Xiangfeng, the four cruisers formed a large circle, enclosing Xiangfeng inside.

The anti-aircraft weapons on the four cruisers formed a fierce firepower net.

Soon the sky over the entire Japanese fleet was filled with red lines.

That was the bullet fired by the anti-aircraft weapon on the Japanese battleship.

Countless red lines are flying.

It looked like a cloud of fireworks.

It looks very powerful.

At the beginning, the fighter jets in the Lighthouse Kingdom were cautious.

After all, it was the first time that the pilots of the lighthouse country's carrier-based aircraft fought the Japanese army in a serious manner.

Quite nervous.

But soon they discovered that the anti-aircraft weapons on the Japanese warships were simply not enough.

As long as they don't dive, the firepower of the Japanese army will not be able to reach them at all.

Moreover, the firepower of the Japanese army is very weak.

Bullet continuity is poor.

After hitting a few points, it will stop.

It is far from the anti-aircraft cannons on their lighthouse warships.

So soon, fifty fighter jets began to dive.

Among the fifty aircraft, there are twenty fighter jets.

Twenty torpedo planes.

Ten horizontal bombers.

And under the belly of the fighter jets, there is also a heavy [-]-jin aerial bomb mounted on it.

Very big.

Such a giant bomb, as long as one hits the deck of the Japanese aircraft carrier, it can blow up one-third of it.

It's not much less powerful than a torpedo.

Moreover, radios have been installed on the aircraft used by the lighthouse country.

Aircraft can communicate with each other at any time.

This is very rare.

The Japanese aircraft did not have such equipment at all.

After the flight captain of the Lighthouse Kingdom gave the order to attack, he took the lead and swooped down.

The leading flight captain of the Lighthouse Country is Jim.

He is the captain of the Pacific Fleet carrier-based aircraft pilot.

Ace pilot.

When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, he flew a Wildcat fighter plane without bullets from the airport.

And cooperated with his teammates to kill three Japanese planes.

There is nothing to say about this flying technology.

After Jim gave the combat order, he operated the pilot stick of the plane and swooped down.

His plane is very fast.

After the engine above the nose let out a sharp whistling, the whole plane began to dive.

The nose of the plane is down.

Almost perpendicular to the sea.

In order to increase the speed, the flaps above the wings of the aircraft are fully opened.

The devils on the Japanese cruiser and the aircraft carrier Xiangfeng were taken aback.

All the firepower was overwhelmed.

At the same time, the cruiser and the aircraft carrier Xiangfeng were also making sharp turns.

Used to dodge bombs.

The ghost soldiers on the deck widened their eyes in horror.

The devils above the anti-aircraft machine gun positions roared.

Because of too much force, the face is distorted.

There are more than 30 anti-aircraft machine guns installed on the Xiangfeng aircraft carrier alone.

And it's all three shots.

It was called 96 magic guns by Japanese navy soldiers.

This Type 96 anti-aircraft machine gun looks very bluffing.

And the theoretical rate of fire reached 220 rounds per minute.

If you only look at it from the data, it is still very impressive.
