"Enemy plane! Enemy plane!" Above the clouds, Japanese patrolling fighter jets were the first to spot the approaching target.

In the direction of the Solomon Islands in the distance, the land-based bombers that the United States took off earlier first appeared in the air defense circle of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet.

The Japanese Zero fighter jets, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed up quickly and began to slaughter these B-25 bombers of the US Army.

It was indeed a massacre. The B-25 bombers with bombs were not fast. Under the entanglement of the Zero fighters, they could only rely on the formation and self-defense cannons and machine guns to fight back.

They are not escorted by fighter jets, because at this moment the position of the Japanese fleet is out of the combat radius of the P-40 fighter jets.

Any precious **** will waste all the **** fighters, so the U.S. military can only bite the bullet and launch a counterattack with land-based bombers with a larger combat radius.

As for whether these planes can return safely, it is not something that commanders need to consider.

These commanders only know that even if there is a one percent chance, they have to try it and see if they can sink the Japanese warships.

"Tutu! Tutu!" In the high sky, the Japanese Zero fighter jet's cannon shot out dazzling flames, and the engine of an American B-25 bomber was hit and began to drag a long black smoke.

"Your Excellency! The American bombers in the direction of the Solomon Islands are approaching, and our fighter jets are intercepting them!" The officer in charge of communications walked into Chuichi Nagumo's bridge and bowed to report: "The battle is fierce!"

"Yo Xi! We have intercepted this batch of attacks, and we are completely safe!" Nanyun Zhongyi seemed to be relieved.

The main direction of his fighter interception is also the US military airfield in the direction of the Solomon Islands. Now as long as he kills those American B-25 bombers who have ventured over, he can calmly continue to move northwest and get out of the fight.

"Report!" Another officer walked in at this time, and stood at attention and bowed to report another new message: "The first batch of attack aircraft has approached the target! The attack has begun!"

"Yo Xi!" Nan Yun Zhongyi continued to nod, which was also under his control. As long as the attack is successful, the Japanese navy can continue to maintain its superiority in the Pacific, and can continue to threaten the Solomon and Marshall Islands.

Even if it can't win, as long as the American fleet is nailed in these places, it will be a tolerable result for the Japanese high-level officials who are preparing to expand the Chinese battlefield.

Everything that is happening in front of you seems to be playing out according to the script that the generals of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet expect.

At the same time, in a cabin of the Japanese battleship Mutsu, a Japanese sergeant stared at the screen in front of him, his eyes suddenly widened.

He looked back at the officer behind him and reported loudly: "Captain Nakamura! The electric scout found an enemy plane! From the due south of the fleet!"

"Zhengnan? Did you read it wrong?" Captain Nakamura was stunned when he heard the direction, and then he checked in shock.

"That's right! Although the interference is serious, I'm sure! There are enemy planes in that direction!" The sergeant replied firmly.

"Baga!" Nakamura scolded, turned around and grabbed the phone hanging on the wall behind him: "The bridge? I'm Captain Nakamura! Let the captain answer the phone! Quick!"

Hearing that the phone over there was picked up by the captain, Nakamura shouted loudly: "Captain! An enemy plane is attacking from the south of the fleet! It's due south!"

Mutsu, who had not previously participated in the battle for the Hawaiian Islands, underwent a modernization on home soil.

The focus of that modernization refit was to use the technology provided by Germany, combined with the Japanese Navy's electric detection research, to install new electric detection equipment on the Mutsu battleship.

Now, at the most critical moment, this new electric detective has accomplished a feat that is enough to turn the tide! If it didn't spot the U.S. strike force, the Japanese fleet might be doomed.

"Yes! I'm sure! Kondo Junso found it..." Holding the phone, Captain Nakamura felt his calf tremble.

On the bridge side, they did not dare to slack off, and immediately issued a warning to the flagship that the enemy plane was approaching from due south.

"Nani?" Yamamoto fifty-six heard the news, and his face turned pale in an instant.

He is not an idiot, but a front-line commander familiar with naval warfare. With his cunning personality, a lot of things came to mind immediately.

The range of the American planes was not enough to raid the Japanese fleet from the south, and the US Army's aviation did not have the ability to make a turn at sea to correct its course.

No matter how to train, these land-based aircraft are also army aviation, how can they be used as naval aviation? Therefore, the planes in the south must have taken off from the aircraft carrier!

Thinking of this level, Yamamoto fifty-six and three souls scared off seven souls. After all, he still missed an American fleet, the most important aircraft carrier fleet.

At this time, it is useless to think about how the Americans have aircraft carriers, and he has no time to admire the professionalism and accuracy of the German intelligence services.

The question now is: Can the Japanese navy withstand this attack and turn its disadvantage into an advantage to completely wipe out the US fleet in front of it.

"Sound the battle alarm! Let the fleet enter the state of air defense operations!" Just after thinking for a moment, Yamamoto Shiroku issued a combat order.

"Telegram to Nagumo to let him take off new fighter jets~lightnovelpub.net~ to intercept this American attack aircraft group!" Next, he gave a second order.

Before he could stop, the third order flew out of his mouth: "Order the supply fleet and the landing fleet to retreat at full speed! Don't need to meet, return to Rabaul! Quick!"

Almost all warships of the Japanese Combined Fleet sounded the air defense alarm in the first time.

Being able to detect the enemy plane in advance, Yamamoto Fifty-Six sighed in his heart for his fluke. The technology provided by the Germans turned out to be against the sky. The Nagato number he was in also had Japanese electric detection equipment, but no targets were found.

The current Yamamoto fifty-six has given up his plan to attack Solomon. What he wants to do now is to eat the southern US fleet before retreating.

Then, he immediately took the fleet away from this land of right and wrong. As for the American aircraft carrier fleet in the south, he was unwilling to act rashly until he had found out the details of the other party.

After all, the influence of American productivity on him at this moment is infinitely enlarged. Fifty-six Yamamoto never believed that the Germans said that the United States might have formed a new fleet. Now that the Americans really have a fleet, Yamamoto feared that the strength of this fleet was beyond his judgment.
