Age of Rebirth

Colonel Kaga is telling the truth. Even if the reinforcement fleet comes up, it will not be able to gain the upper hand. It is even impossible to connect with your own formation, withdraw from the battle and return to the aircraft carrier. The more than 70 carrier-based aircraft that have been reinforced will soon die Caught in the siege of the independent division fighter group.

Lieutenant Admiral Shirakawa Yoshitetsu, the commander of the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy, is not an extremely headache. The fighter group of the independent division that suddenly came out has brought great wexe to the fleet. The plan is not only difficult to realize, but the current situation of the fleet is also quite bad.

This senior naval officer, Lieutenant Admiral Shirakawa Yoshitetsu, has judged the current battle situation very wisely. He has already invested all the carrier-based aircraft. According to that guy in Kaga, the possibility of losing money is very high. Next Once the carrier-based aircraft formation cannot withstand the attack of the independent division's fighter group, and when it retreats from defeat, the independent division's fighter group will chase after it and be attacked, and it will be the entire fleet.

"Damn China devil, damn China pilot!" Commander Shirakawa cursed viciously, as long as he gave himself another 10 minutes, the warships of the fleet could bombard the British troop convoy, and all the warships fired. In less than ten minutes, [-] British and Australian soldiers will all be buried on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, but at this time, the Chinese plane appeared.

Now, the fleet continues to carry out the task of annihilating the British and Australian troops, which has become out of reach, not to mention whether it can approach the troop carrier formation of the British and Australian troops. Lieutenant General Yoshitsushi Shirakawa, who is proficient in naval warfare, does not believe that he is in the fleet of the Independent Division.There were no bombers, and in desperation, he issued an order for the fleet to stop advancing and air defense on the spot. [

Then, he wanted to call Lieutenant Admiral Masao Okamura, the commander of the Fourth Fleet, "Okamura-kun, unfortunately, was told by that fellow Ito Yanzaburo that a large number of independent division fighters appeared in the airspace of my fleet. My carrier-based aircraft group is fighting fiercely with the Chinese fighter group, and the situation is not optimistic. I hope that Okamura-kun’s carrier-based aircraft group will come to support, and first eliminate the Chinese fighter jets. Only then can the established mission be completed!"

The thoughts of Lieutenant General Shirakawa Yoshitsune.Very correct, only after the fighter jets of the independent division are dealt with can they attack the British task force and troop carrier formation freely. Anyway, in a short period of time, these British guys can't run far.

In another sea area, Lieutenant General Masao Okamura, commander of the Fourth Fleet of the Japanese Navy.Looking at the carrier-based aircraft of his own fleet that was already at a disadvantage in the sky, he could only smile wryly, considering the situation on the battlefield.Similar to what happened to the Second Fleet, the number of fighter jets in the Independent Division also far exceeds that of itself. Now, the Fourth Fleet is too busy to take care of itself, so there is no way to spare it to support the Second Fleet.

Having lost the biggest offensive weapon, the carrier-based aircraft, the only way to attack the British task force is to use warship-to-warship attacks. Moreover, we must be on guard against those, swooping down from time to time and coming to our own warships. The fighter jets of the independent division fought with their hands tied, and the annihilation of the British task force was fundamentally impossible to complete in a short period of time.

Therefore, to Lieutenant General Shirakawa's request, Lieutenant General Okamura could only answer truthfully, "Mr. Shirakawa, I'm very sorry, the Fourth Fleet is also fighting hard in front of it, and it is also facing a very large number of independent division fighter groups. I can't help you!"

Le Yiqin, who was hovering in the air, was also roaring, calling the commander of the first echelon, Colonel Wu Zhenjiang, the head of the Ninth Fighter Regiment, "Wu Zhenjiang, what the hell are you doing? Are you addicted to fighting? Our mission is to cover The Briton's troop carrier formation, their fleet, is not under protection, immediately disengage from the battle and join the second echelon!"

On the other end of the earphones, it is estimated that Wu Zhenjiang is fighting vigorously, and he is yelling, "Commander, I can't stop for now, the little devil's carrier-based aircraft is fighting hard, Commander, it is rare to have a If you have a chance to beat up the little devils, give me another 10 minutes to beat these little devils away, and rush to join the second echelon!"

Before Le Yiqin could speak, Wu Zhenjiang suddenly shouted: "513, why are you dawdling, catch the little devil's carrier-based aircraft, and immediately attack ruthlessly, fast, accurate, ruthless, yes, bite that bastard Egg, good! Kill it, just hit like this, do you hear me!" In the earphones, there was a burst of violent shooting from the airborne machine gun.

Listening to Wu Zhenjiang yelling in the intercom, Le Yiqin can easily imagine that at this moment, the fighter pilots of the first echelon are fighting extremely smoothly. He understands the pilots' war-seeking mentality, and he has the advantage in both battlefields. It is also a rare opportunity for actual combat to let these guys who are jealous when they see the little devil's plane have a good time.

Le Yiqin shook his head and said, "Okay, Wu Zhenjiang, I'll give you 10 minutes! 10 more minutes, fight hard!"

Wu Zhenjiang grinned from ear to ear, and replied loudly: "Thank you, Commander, don't worry, I won't spare these bastards!" He also knew in his heart that the life and death of the British warship below had nothing to do with him , the commander gave 10 minutes more time, which was used to fight the little devil's carrier-based aircraft.

Recalling the scene just now, Wu Zhenjiang was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother. The first echelon he commanded rushed to the Coral Sea in a thrilling manner, but because of the British escort fleet, the formation of the rain transport ships did not meet in time. Wu Zhenjiang's echelon mission, Temporarily changed to provide air cover for the British task force.

But when he rushed to the sky above the British fleet, he got in touch with the commander of the task force, Rear Admiral Forsheed, and explained his intention, "Commander of the British fleet, I am Colonel Wu Zhenjiang, the commander of the air formation of the Chinese fighter group. Now, Under the order of the superior, escort your fleet!"

But then, the haughty British major general's answer made Wu Zhenjiang almost give him a slap in the face.

Major General Forsheed replied: "Chinese, are your eyes blurred? The Japanese fleet and planes from there, oh, I know, the Chinese always like to play tricks to cover up their capabilities, but , this is on the battlefield, what I need is definite information.”

"Well, for the sake of your initiative to escort us, Colonel, your air formation is now under my command, follow my orders, center on the fleet, and attack all targets within a radius of [-] nautical miles. Reconnaissance, God bless, I hope your Chinese pilots' poor flying skills, don't let the plane fall into the sea! It is an honor for you and your subordinates to be ordered to obey the command of a rear admiral of the British Empire, Colonel!"

Wu Zhenjiang was so angry that his eyes turned black, and he almost spit out a mouthful of blood. How come the Americans and British he met were all his motherly virtues. When talking to the Chinese, his nostrils turned to the sky. He didn't get rid of the british bastard, he told himself again and again, that's a bastard who can't speak human language, don't be as knowledgeable as him, just treat him as a fart, but he feels aggrieved.

This British guy named Forsheed is either a megalomaniac or a psychopath. Wu Zhenjiang said in a cold tone: "I don't care what kind of bastard major general you are, I only tell you one thing, your fleet, If you are not within the escort mission of my air formation, you can ask for more blessings!"

Major General Forsheed shrugged, and said with contempt in his exaggerated expression: "Oh, poor Chinese, he has no sense of humor at all, he is angry!" [

There is a Chinese saying, "Speak your mouth, beat your mouth!" It is not false at all. The raised shoulders of Rear Admiral Forsheed have not fallen yet. The door of the command cabin was slammed open, and the fleet communications officer felt like his butt was on fire. Breaking in, "Report to Your Excellency Commander, the mast observation post reports that a large number of Japanese aircraft are found flying in the direction of our fleet!"

"Uh!" Major General Forsheed, his jaw almost dropped to the ground, howled in his heart, "Damn God, that old bastard, retribution is coming soon, I just finished teasing and contemptuous of that Chinese air force colonel, the Japanese The plane came, and it must have taken off from the aircraft carrier, followed by an army of the Japanese Navy. Just because the Japanese have an aircraft carrier, their own fleet is not enough for the Japanese warships! "

Rear Admiral Fursheed regretted this, wished he could slap himself a few times, grabbed the communicator, and called: "Colonel Wu, please answer if you hear it, the safety of our fleet is to get rid of the colonel and your subordinates! From now on , the fleet completely obeys your orders!"

After Wu Zhenjiang heard the words of the British major general whose mouth smelled worse than a cesspit, he sneered, turned off the communication channel, and then ordered: "Attention all brigades, let go of your hands and feet, attack the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group, and attack the British aircraft fleet. If the warship is under any attack, ignore it, and remember our mission is to teach the kid a lesson!"

Fortunately, Wu Zhenjiang's fighter group intercepted all the Japanese carrier-based aircraft, and the British task force did not suffer a big loss. However, there were also a few warships that were beaten up by the Japanese carrier-based aircraft that rushed over. After the warships of the Fourth Fleet of the Japanese Navy come up, the British will suffer a lot.

In terms of the tonnage of warships, the caliber of naval guns, and the number of ships, the British Task Force is not at the same level as the Fourth Fleet of the Japanese Navy. Take the flagship of Rear Admiral Forsheed as an example, the displacement is only more than 8000 tons, which is about the same as a light cruiser in the Fourth Fleet of the Japanese Navy, and warships with a displacement of more than 80.00 tons accounted for more than [-]% of the Fourth Fleet.

Therefore, at the beginning of the naval battle, more than a dozen British warships were blasted into smoke and fire by the large-caliber naval guns on the Japanese warships, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger. There were Japanese bombers that escaped the interception of Chinese fighter jets and added a few bombs, and the British warships were bombed to the ground.

Facing all of this, Major General Forshid regretted so much that he wanted to bump his head to death. He knew the reason why his fleet was attacked by the Japanese sea and air forces.
