Chapter 315:Japan Loses Three More Aircraft Carriers

During the operation of the three Japanese fleets, the Western White Tiger Fleet of the Red Guards also took action.

Unlike the Japanese Navy, which was divided into three fleets, the seven main aviation of the Western White Tiger Fleet formed a large maritime carrier battle group and acted together.

A large fleet is not conducive to hiding, but it can act together quickly.

The Pacific War was not a battle between Japan and the U.S. military in history, nor was the rival facing the Japanese Navy, nor was it the United States in history.

At this time, the United States was not ready for a complete war, nor did it have the decisive force to start a decisive battle with Japan.

But unlike the Red Guards, the tactics adopted by the Japanese were similar to those used against the United States in history.

When the three Japanese fleets were about to enter the Coral Sea, the early warning aircraft of the Western White Tiger Fleet found the Japanese carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft.

In the direction of the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft, half an hour later, the location of one of the Japanese fleets was determined.

Unfortunately, the two heavy aircraft carriers of the Japanese Navy were not found, but only the lucky aircraft carrier Xiangfeng was found.

Guo Shaohua immediately ordered the carrier-based aircraft to take off and attack, and 48 carrier-based aircraft took off, under the protection of eight intruder carrier-based fighters, flying towards the Japanese aircraft carrier Xiangfeng.

Due to the close tracking of the ship-based early warning aircraft, the carrier-based aircraft that took off to attack soon found Xiangfeng.

Five minutes later, the command ship of the White Tiger fleet, the White Tiger, received a report of the attack formation, confirming that Xiangfeng had been sunk.

The light aircraft carrier in the early to 10,000 tons could not protect itself at all, and the other warships guarded around the Xiangfeng were all quickly sunk.

It was very easy to destroy a Japanese fleet, but the White Tiger fleet was still very careful.

After all, the highlight of this naval battle is Japan's two heavy aircraft carriers, as long as the two aircraft carriers are destroyed and Japan's maritime fleet is destroyed, which means that from now on, the Japanese Navy has lost its most basic sea power.

Just as Xiangfeng was sunk, the Japanese Fifth Air Fleet also received reports of enemy feelings, and found two enemy aircraft carriers and two cruisers, 280 nautical miles south of the fleet.

Japan's commander-in-chief Inoue made a decisive move of the carrier-based aircraft, and the two aircraft carriers sent out a total of more than 90 carrier-based aircraft, pounced toward the target.

As a result, when the Japanese carrier-based aircraft found its target, they were depressed and wanted to spit blood.

It is not that the Red Guard Navy is confusing Japan, but that is the wrong target for the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft, and there are indeed four ships at sea, but they are not aircraft carriers and cruisers at all.

Of the four ships, two were large integrated supply ships, and two very ordinary fuel supply ships.

In the high altitude, the oil supply ship on the flat roof is indeed a bit like an aircraft carrier, and the size and appearance of the integrated supply ship are indeed similar to heavy armored cruisers.

The depressing Japanese naval carrier-based aircraft did not launch an attack, wasting ammunition on these four targets that, in their view, were useless.

However, what they did not know was that although the Japanese Fifth Air Fleet was not found by the early warning aircraft, the large-scale launch of the carrier-based aircraft, in the encounter of the integrated supply ship, but also completely exposed the position of the carrier-based aircraft.

Although the integrated supply ship is only lightly armed and can deal with some targets such as gunboats, the ship is still equipped with radar systems.

The emergence of these carrier-based aircraft was immediately reported to the White Tiger Fleet, these carrier-based aircraft from the position of the White Tiger Fleet more than 400 nautical miles, so that although it is difficult to speculate the specific position of the Japanese joint fleet, but has been dispatched early warning aircraft, can always follow the Japanese carrier-based aircraft, accurately lock the direction of the Japanese fleet.

Two hours later, the search for fruitless Japanese carrier-based aircraft began to return, and also reported the details to the aircraft carrier.

When the Japanese fleet began to return, a large number of carrier-based aircraft were deployed on the aircraft carriers of the White Tiger fleet, and a total of 140 carrier-based aircraft were dispatched, half of which were carrier-based fighters that provided air cover.

Under the guidance of the early warning aircraft, the Japanese carrier-based aircraft returned less than one-fifth of the way, and finally "converged" with the Japanese carrier-based aircraft.

At this moment, the sky gradually dimmed, and the Japanese carrier-based aircraft that was anxiously returning did not find the tail behind him.

During this period, the aircraft carrier did not have the ability to take off and land carrier aircraft at night, and at night, it was best to return before the night.

The return of the carrier-based aircraft, the Japanese radar also ignored the search of the radar signal, at this moment the sky has dimmed, visibility is very low.

The radar soldiers on the Japanese warship thought they were on their own side of the carrier aircraft, and they did not care.

Just as the Japanese carrier-based aircraft was firing a signal light and preparing to land, the Red Police carrier aircraft followed by a sudden attack.

Many Japanese aircraft that were preparing to land on the aircraft carrier were quickly destroyed, and the invaders in the front of the carrier-based fighters also fired intensive rockets to cover warships on the sea.

The subsequent carrier-based bombers also approached and dropped torpedoes, a little dived down, dropping off the air bomb.

Japan's Fifth Air Fleet suddenly became a regiment until the aircraft carriers of the Xianghe and Ruihe were all on fire, and the other Japanese warships were desperate to attack all flying targets in the sky.

However, the attack was too late at this time.

Several torpedoes and missiles have already destroyed the Xianghe and Ruihe, and the two aircraft carriers have been burning fire everywhere.

The torpedo exploded, the manic seawater poured into the boiler room, the aircraft carrier began to tilt, and the two aircraft carriers had already lost all their combat power.

The Japanese sailors on the aircraft carrier have already given up rescue and can escape, all of them jumped off the aircraft carrier for the first time.

However, the attack has not yet ended, and after the attack on the aircraft carrier, the Red Guard carrier's aircraft force has not let go of other Japanese warships on the side of the aircraft carrier.

A massacre from the air fell under the cover of the night, and in the end only two wounded Japanese Navy cruisers really escaped, hastened to recover the soldiers who fell and fell, and then withdrew from the battlefield for the first time.

Until the next day, the two burning Japanese aircraft carriers, this is completely silent, on the sea, there are many Japanese sailors floating on the sea, but no one has come here to rescue.

The three aircraft carriers in the target were easily killed, and the Japanese Navy's operation ended in complete failure, and if the transport fleet did not receive news in time and quickly withdrew, I am afraid that it would be impossible to escape the fate of being sunk.
