    What Colonel Kaga said was true. Even if the reinforcements came up, they could not gain the upper hand. They could not even connect with their own formations and withdraw from the battle and return to the aircraft carrier. The more than 70 carrier-based aircraft that came with reinforcements would immediately  Will be surrounded by a group of ** fighter jets.

    Lieutenant General Shirakawa Yoshitetsu, the commander of the Japanese Navy's Second Fleet, was in a huge headache. The sudden appearance of the Japanese division's fighter group had already brought great disruption to the fleet. It was originally scheduled to attack the British-Australian troop transport fleet.  Not only is the plan difficult to realize, the current situation of the fleet is also quite unfavorable.

    Lieutenant General Shirakawa Yoshitetsu, a senior naval officer, has wisely judged the current war situation. He has invested all his carrier-based aircraft. According to the Kaga guy, there is a high possibility of suffering a loss. Next  , once the carrier-based aircraft formation cannot withstand the attack of the ** division's fighter group, and retreats in defeat, the ** division's fighter group will chase after it, and it will be the entire fleet that is attacked.

    "Damn China devil, damn China pilot!" Commander Shirakawa cursed fiercely. As long as he was given another thirty minutes, the warships of the fleet could bombard the British troop transport fleet. All warships would fire their cannons.  In less than ten minutes, 100,000 British and Australian soldiers will be buried at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. But at this moment, the Chinese plane appeared.

    Now, the fleet continues to carry out the mission of annihilating the British and Australian troops, which has become out of reach. Not to mention whether it can get close to the British and Australian troop transport ship formations. If it attacks by force, it will be impossible to deliver the entire fleet to the mouth of the China fighter jets.  Lieutenant General Shirakawa Yoshitetsu, who is proficient in naval warfare, does not believe that there is a fleet of aircraft in the Japanese Navy.  There were no bombers, and in desperation, he issued an order for the fleet to stop advancing and conduct air defense on the spot.

    Then, he called Lieutenant General Masao Okamura, the commander of the Fourth Fleet, "Okamura-kun, unfortunately, that guy Yanzaburo Ito was right. A large number of Japanese fighter jets appeared in the airspace of my fleet.  . My carrier-based aircraft group is fighting fiercely with the China fighter group, and the situation is not optimistic. I hope that Okamura-kun's carrier-based aircraft group will come to support and deal with the China fighter group first."

    The thoughts of Lieutenant General Shirakawa Yoshitetsu.  That's right. Only after the ** division's fighter jets are dealt with, can we freely attack the British task force and troop carrier formation. Anyway, in a short time, these British guys can't run far.

    In another sea area, Lieutenant General Masao Okamura, commander of the Japanese Navy¡¯s Fourth Fleet.  Looking at the carrier-based aircraft of his own fleet in the sky, which was already at a disadvantage, he could only smile bitterly, reflecting on the battlefield situation.  Similar to what happened to the Second Fleet, the number of fighter jets in the First Division far exceeded its own. Now, the Fourth Fleet had too much to take care of itself, and it still had the ability to support the Second Fleet.

    Without the carrier-based aircraft, the biggest weapon of attack, the attack on the British task force can only be carried out by warships against warships. Moreover, we must beware of those who swoop down from time to time and attack our own warships.  The ** division's fighter jets were so helpless in the battle that it was impossible to annihilate the British task force in a short period of time.

    Therefore, to Lieutenant General Shirakawa's request, Lieutenant General Okamura could only answer truthfully, "Shirakawa-kun, I'm very sorry, the Fourth Fleet is also in a tough battle, and it is also facing a very large number of **Fighter Groups"  , unable to provide you with support!¡±

    Le Yiqin, who was hovering in the air, was also roaring, calling the commander of the first echelon, Colonel Wu Zhenjiang, the commander of the 9th Fighter Regiment, "Wu Zhenjiang, what are you doing? Are you addicted to fighting? Our mission is to cover  The British troop transport formation, their fleet, is no longer protected, immediately break away from the battle and rendezvous with the second echelon!"

    On the other end of the earphone, Wu Zhenjiang was probably fighting vigorously. He was shouting, "Commander, we can't stop it yet. The little devil's carrier-based aircraft is fighting fiercely. Commander, it's rare to have such a thing."  Give me another twenty minutes to beat up these little devils, and then rush to meet up with 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 strike hard. Quick, accurate, and ruthless. Yes, bite that bastard."  Egg, okay! Get rid of it, just hit it like this, can you hear it?" There was a burst of fierce shooting from the airborne machine gun.

    Listening to Wu Zhenjiang yelling on the intercom, it was not difficult for Le Yiqin to imagine that at this moment, the first echelon of fighter pilots were fighting extremely smoothly. Looking at his own side, he had already achieved an overwhelming victory.  He understood the pilots' war-seeking mentality. He had advantages on both battlefields, so simply letting these guys who were jealous of the Japs' planes have a good fight was a rare opportunity for actual combat.

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

    Wu Zhenjiang couldn¡¯t be happier??, and replied loudly: "Thank you very much, 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 should pay more  The remaining ten minutes are used to fight against the Japanese carrier-based aircraft.

    Recalling the scene just now, Wu Zhenjiang was so angry that he wanted to curse. The first echelon under his command rushed to the Coral Sea without any danger. However, because of the British escort fleet, the troop transport formation was not reunited in time. Wu Zhenjiang's echelon  The mission was temporarily changed to provide air cover for the British task force.

    But when he rushed to the sky above the British fleet, he contacted the commander of the task force, Major General Forshid, and explained his purpose, "Commander of the British fleet, I am Colonel Wu Zhenjiang, commander of the air formation of the Chinese fighter group. Now,  Following orders from superiors, escort your fleet!"

    But next, the arrogant British major general's answer made Wu Zhenjiang so angry that he almost gave him a bullet.

    Major General Forhid replied: "Chinese, are your eyes dazzled? The Japanese fleet and aircraft are coming over there, oh, I know, the Chinese always like to be clever to cover up their incompetence, but  , this is on the battlefield, and what I need is solid information.¡±

    "Well, for the sake of your initiative to escort us, colonel, your air formation is now under my command. It will obey my orders. With the fleet as the center, it will attack all targets within a radius of 200 nautical miles.  Reconnaissance, God bless, I hope your poor flying skills of the Chinese pilots will not let the plane fall into the sea! It is an honor for you and your men to be ordered to obey the command of a British Imperial Navy rear admiral!"

    Wu Zhenjiang was so angry that his eyes turned black and he almost spit out a mouthful of blood. Why did the Americans and British he met have such a fucking virtue? When talking to the Chinese, his nostrils were pointed to the sky. In an air battle in northern Myanmar, he still  He didn't get rid of the British guy's bad habits. He repeatedly warned himself that he was a bastard who couldn't speak human language. Don't treat him as a fart, but he felt so aggrieved.

    This British guy named Fulhid is either an arrogant man or a psychopath. Wu Zhenjiang said in a cold tone: "I don't care what kind of bullshit major general you are, I only tell you one thing, your fleet,  It¡¯s not part of the escort mission of my air formation, so be happy!¡±

    Major General Forshed shrugged, and said with an exaggerated expression and contempt: "Oh, the poor Chinese, he has no sense of humor at all, he is angry!"

    There is a saying in China that goes, "Talk and talk!" It's not true at all. Before Major General Forhid's hunched shoulders could fall, the door of the command module was pushed open violently, and the fleet communications officer was on fire.  General broke in and said, "Report to your Excellency, Commander, the mast observation post reported that a large number of Japanese aircraft were found flying in the direction of our fleet!"

    "Uh!" Major General Forshid was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped to the ground, and he wailed in his heart, "Damn God, that old bastard, retribution will come soon. I just finished teasing and scorning the Chinese Air Force Colonel. The Japanese  The plane came, and it must have taken off from the aircraft carrier. It was followed by an army of the Japanese navy. Just because the Japanese have aircraft carriers, their own fleet is not enough for the Japanese warships!  "

    Major General Forhid regretted this and wanted to slap himself a few times. He grabbed the intercom and called: "Colonel Wu, please answer when you hear it. For the safety of our fleet, we must get rid of the colonel and your men! From now on!"  , the fleet completely obeys your orders!"

    After Wu Zhenjiang heard the words of this British major general whose mouth smelled worse than a cesspit, he smiled coldly, closed the communication channel, and ordered: "Attention, all brigades, let go of your hands and feet, attack the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group, and attack the British army."  If the warship comes under any attack, ignore it. Remember, our mission is to teach the little devil a lesson!"

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

    Whether it is the tonnage of warships, the caliber or the number of naval guns, the British task force is not on the same level as the Japanese Navy's Fourth Fleet. Take the flagship of Rear Admiral Forshed, for example, with a displacement of only 8,000  More than a ton is about the same as a light cruiser in the Fourth Fleet of the Japanese Navy, and warships with a displacement of more than 8,000 tons account for more than 80% of the Fourth Fleet.

    Therefore, at the beginning of the naval battle, more than a dozen British warships were bombarded by the large-caliber naval guns of the Japanese warships.  There are Japanese bombers that have escaped interception by Chinese fighter jets. They add a few bombs and the British warshipsIt was blown up and down.

    Faced with all this, Major General Forshid regretted so much that he wanted to kill him head-on. He knew why his fleet was attacked by the Japanese sea and air forces.
