The Thirteenth Amphibian Fleet, which received the news, acted quickly.In less than 15 minutes, thirty bombers and eight carrier-based fighters on the LHD-13 amphibious assault ship vacated and howled to attack the Seahawk.

Just sent the attack group, a series of more ominous intelligence into the ears of the 13th amphibious fleet command, so that many staff officers are confused.

If the information gathered is correct, it means that the Japanese are plotting.

Soon Guo Shaohua also learned about the situation here and issued new instructions to let the three amphibious fleets play freely, without scruples.

This is also the request of Luo Haiping, in the face of the Japanese small action, Guo Shaohua and Luo Haiping, are aware of the Japanese fleet must have a conspiracy, but what exactly is the conspiracy, the two people are naturally not clear, but any conspiracy in the face of asymmetrical strength, are scum.

Instead of missing out, let the people below play freely.

At 2 p.m., a seaplane of the Red Guard Corps reported that a Japanese aircraft carrier had been found sixty nautical miles northeast of the Japanese army.

Then, the reconnaissance aircraft taking off from the amphibious assault ship LHD-14 sent back several startling reports: it was found that a Japanese aircraft carrier, 317 degrees, was less than 200 nautical miles away.

Half an hour later, two aircraft carriers of the main group of the Japanese army were found, with a orientation of 340 degrees, and the distance was also 200 nautical miles.

Ten minutes later, the report came again, saying that four Japanese cruisers and several destroyers had been found at the same time.

The 14th amphibious fleet suddenly realized that the situation was obviously unfavorable to its own side.

Because of the Japanese Navy's suspects, there have been thirty bombers and fifteen carrier-based aircraft in the air to carry out reconnaissance, attack and anti-submersible missions, leaving only less than 15 bombers and 12 carrier-based fighters on the flight decks of the two amphibious assault ships.

However, fortunately, the Japanese aircraft carrier position was found in time, and there was sufficient response time to the fuel volume of the carrier-based aircraft, the 14th amphibious fleet first ordered the Red Police carrier aircraft that attacked the Seahawk to turn halfway to attack the two large aircraft carriers of Japan.

At the same time, all the carrier-based aircraft on LHD-14 were ready to fight, but no order was given to take-off, because the target was too far away to land at night when returning.

The 14th amphibious fleet command believes that the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft have sent back reports, the enemy already knows the location of the Red Guard Corps amphibious assault ship, he must prepare the Japanese to come to the air, so he sent fighter jets to conduct air patrols, and increase the number of fighters on the deck standby.

At 3 p.m., two carrier-based fighters taken off from the Red Guard Corps amphibious assault ship LHD-14 spotted the Japanese aircraft carrier "Shanghe" and carried out an attack.

However, because there was no bomb, just using a cannon brought a little trouble to the Xianghe.

At the same time, the 18 carrier-based bombers that took off from LHD-13 reached the Seahawk.

At this time, the Seahawk was turning against the wind.

The Red Police carrier aircraft seized the favorable attack moment and immediately launched the encirclement and curvation.

The ship-borne bombers hurled into the sea from an altitude of one kilometer, and four bombs exploded on the deck of the Seahawk.One torpedo hit its target, and about 10 bombs exploded on the deck.

The whole ship was shrouded in fire and smoke, and the hull soon tilted to the starboard side, and could not move in a blink of an eye.

Two hours later, the “dead man” finally sank.

When the Seahawk was attacked like a wolf-like tiger as a victim of the Hasegawa plan, Hasegawa was happy.

He thought that the Red Guards had already made a move away from the mountain.

At 3:30 p.m., Hasegawa sent more than 90 carrier-based aircraft to carry out the first strike against the Red Police amphibious assault fleet.

The 15th amphibious assault ship group of the Red Guards Corps was 10 nautical miles northwest of the 14th amphibious assault ship, and the 14th amphibious fleet ordered the amphibious assault ship LHD-14 to guide the fighter.

At 4:30 p.m., the ship's radar spotted many aerial targets, which were coming to attack the Japanese fleet.

The 14th and 15th amphibious fleet decks of the standby aircraft took off and headed for interception.Soon, twelve intruder carrier fighters vacated and were on standby in the air.

At the same time, twenty miles away, the only 18 bombers and six carrier-based fighters on LHD-13 took off to attack the Japanese aircraft carrier.

So far, the three amphibious ship battle groups have pushed out all the "home base".

Only a moment, 42 nautical miles from the LHD-14 amphibious assault ship, an air battle began.

The Red Guard fighter jets that intercepted the Japanese army aircraft group knew that the responsibility was great, and they did not let go, and the Japanese planes swooped in.

A Red Guards Regiment aircraft approached a flying aircraft at high speed and was about to knock it down to see a reconnaissance aircraft that turned out to be its own return.

In order to avoid accidental injury, the LHD-14's fighter guide immediately issued an order requiring all reconnaissance aircraft to be allowed on.

Ten minutes later, a fighter squad over the northwest reported: “36 enemy bombers were found.It's a million meters high, and there are many planes above them."

The fighter-fighter guides of the Red Guard Navy's carrier-based aircraft force to quickly issue attack instructions and shoot down the Japanese aircraft before the Japanese aircraft is deployed and reached the amphibious assault ship.

At this moment, the Japanese aircraft is less than 250 nautical miles from the Red Guard amphibious assault ship LHD-14, and it is expanded into small groups.

The first wave of thirty-six Japanese dive bombers and twelve torpedo planes approached the Red Guards fleet under the cover of forty-eight Zero fighters.

The Red Guards aircraft, which had already been put on standby, immediately greeted the Japanese aircraft.The two aircraft groups set out in the thick clouds, and a brutal air war began.

The sky was full of the clamor of air combat.Although the Red Guard carrier-based fighter aircraft that returned after the attack on the Seahawk did not have much fuel, it did not lose time to participate in this fierce air battle.

Red police carrier aircraft brave impact, disrupted the Japanese fleet shape, but the number of Japanese carrier-based aircraft used to contain the Red Police carrier aircraft is too much, can not be completely intercepted, there are still dozens of Japanese dive bombers to break through the interception network, directly to the amphibious assault ship LHD-14.

The situation is critical, and LHD-14 and all surrounding anti-aircraft cruisers and destroyers are struggling to counterattack.The shells fired from the ship bloomed in the air, dyeing the snow-white clouds with a cloud of black ink.

Japanese aircraft, despite casualties, still rushed before death, and finally, there were still 13 dive bombers breaking through the Red Police Corps fire protection network.

The first Japanese carrier-based aircraft to enter the target dived and dropped bombs at a height of less than 1,500 meters.

More than 30,000 tons of LHD-14 becomes very dangerous.

The captain of LHD-14 made a desperate rush with the rudder angle to avoid the bomb.

Ten minutes later, LHD-14 has shot three.

The first bomb made a shrill scream and fell obliquely toward the deck.It was a timed armor-piercing project, which did not explode when it passed through the first deck, and when it reached the second deck of the captain of the sailors, a loud noise was made, and the people in the cabin died on the spot.

A minute later, the second bomb with a transient detonator hit the right side of the LHD-14 stern lift.The orange sparks splashed, and the man close to the fried point suddenly flew flesh and blood.

The third bomb will blow up the takeoff signal station, and the ship will face the sky.Then, a bomb fell on the side of the ship, set off a huge water column, and the splashed sea water almost immediately extinguished the raging fire caused by the previous bomb.

Soon, the LHD-14 hull showed a slight tilt, the flaming on the surface was quite violent, but fortunately the ship's firefighters did a good job, less than an hour later, the LHD-14 fire was extinguished, the speed began to recover.

Although he was seriously injured, he was still able to turn the bow, face the wind and wave, and take the plane back.

The 14th amphibious fleet immediately ordered one cruiser and four destroyers to escort LHD-14 and sail back to Australia for repairs.

Towards five o'clock in the afternoon, the Red Guards fleet was once again in danger.

The Japanese 18 bombers, ten torpedo planes and three Zero fighters made up of the second wave of attack, gradually approaching the 14th amphibious fleet.

However, at this time, the Red Police carrier aircraft had sufficient space interception, and under the interception of twelve carrier-based fighters, the second wave of attack, the riveting feathers were long empty, and not even one returned.

Due to the lack of early warning aircraft guidance, coupled with the current twilight, the sea fog blockade, take-off attack on the Japanese fleet of the attack formation did not find the target, the Japanese Navy's two main aircraft carriers are safe.

And the search for other sea-based aircraft, but also helpless return, the Japanese Navy's cunning, in the relative strength of the case, the degree of difficulty, has let the Red Guard Corps deeply understand.

However, the Japanese joint fleet was also difficult, and by the evening, Hasegawa ordered the withdrawal from the fighting.

In this battle, the Japanese army and the Red Guards Corps were each damaged, and they were not defeated.

But in the sense of value, although this naval battle, an amphibious assault ship of the Red Guard Navy was injured, but the price was more than 110 Japanese carrier-based aircraft, while the Red Police Corps, the carrier-based aircraft had almost no losses.

The amphibious assault ship, which was injured, only needed simple maintenance, would soon be able to restore combat effectiveness.

From a strategic point of view, this maritime war shattered Hasegawa's desperate attempt to destroy the Red Police Fleet and quickly consolidate the strategic attempt of the Guadalcanal Airport.

The Japanese tactics were successful, but the fighting power was a failure.

Not to mention that from the beginning, Hasegawa Ching was looking for the wrong target, and the target attacked by the Japanese carrier-based aircraft was not an aircraft carrier in the Red Guard Empire.

However, from this point of view, Hasegawa is also fortunate, if Hasegawa halal found the right target, the target is to be close to Guashima, the Kuimu wolf or the chicken, that will be a disaster for Japan.

Unchanged, one hundred and ten carrier-based aircraft were lost, and the combined fleet's combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
