On the battleship Kii, the flagship of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the commander of the Combined Fleet, got up early. Or rather, he did not fall asleep last night, but just lay down on the bed for a while.
This naval battle is too important for the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet, the entire anti-Russian alliance, and even for him personally. He is eager to win this battle.
Otherwise, the Combined Fleet will be finished. The Japanese Empire will also be finished. And he himself will also be finished.
"Report, Commander, our seaplane has discovered the location of the Russian Pacific Fleet. It is less than 200 kilometers northeast of us." Major General Ito Seiichi, Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet, was very excited.
Admiral "San-Sen-San" Isoroku Yamamoto stood up all of a sudden.
"Are you sure?" Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto asked hurriedly.
This is no joke, and there can be no carelessness.
If something goes wrong and the Combined Fleet loses miserably in this battle. Then, everything will be in trouble!
"Commander, it should be certain. The seaplane lost contact after sending the telegram. It seems that it was shot down by the Russian anti-aircraft fighter." Rear Admiral Ito Seiichi replied.
General Yamamoto Isoroku nodded: "This is really regrettable news. However, the Empire will definitely remember their efforts and achievements. They are all heroes of the Empire."
Rear Admiral Ito Seiichi also nodded repeatedly.
"Send a telegram to Nanyun Jun and the aircraft carrier formation of the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Navy, tell them the location of the Russians, and let them dispatch carrier-based aircraft to attack according to the predetermined plan!" General Yamamoto Isoroku ordered.
"Hi, Commander!" Rear Admiral Ito Seiichi replied.
"We are about 100 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier formation. This means that the Russian Pacific Fleet is 300 kilometers away from our aircraft carrier formation, which is completely within the strike radius of our aircraft carrier’s carrier-based aircraft group. This time, we will definitely be able to severely damage or even eliminate the Russians!" Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto was very excited.
"In addition, our battleship formation needs to speed up and strive to hit the Russians after our carrier-based aircraft group severely damages them. This time, we must eliminate the entire Russian Pacific Fleet and not let them escape." Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto ordered.
In his plan, their carrier-based aircraft force severely damaged the Russian Pacific Fleet. Then their battleship force will come to make up the last blow. In this way, it will be perfect.
It is estimated that after this battle, there will be few warships left in the Pacific Fleet of the Tsarist Empire Navy. The main force of the entire Pacific Fleet will all be eliminated by them.
"Yes, Commander. We and the lighthouseThe cooperation of the Chinese people is enough to crush the Russians in terms of the main battleships! "Major General Ito Seiichi also seemed very confident.
After Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto’s order was issued, Vice Admiral Chuichi Nanyun, who received the telegram, immediately ordered the aircraft carrier formation of the Oriental Empire Navy to attack with all his strength.
The aircraft carrier formation of the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Country Navy also went out with all its strength.
One after another, carrier-based aircraft took off from the aircraft carriers of the Oriental Empire Navy and the Lighthouse Country Navy and flew towards the location of the Pacific Fleet of the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy.
The 13 aircraft carriers of the Oriental Empire Navy had already prepared to take off carrier-based aircraft.
One after another, Zero fighters, Type 99 carrier-based bombers and Type 97 carrier-based attack aircraft took off from the decks of aircraft carriers, and then formed into groups to attack the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy. The Imperial Navy Pacific Fleet flew to the location.
In order to ensure the success of this attack, the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet launched a total of 70 Zero fighters, 105 Type 99 carrier-based bombers and 105 Type 97 carrier-based attack aircraft.
And the 4 aircraft carriers of the Lighthouse Navy launched 50 F4F fighters, covering 60 SBD2 dive bombers and 60-level TBD torpedo attack aircraft, and headed straight for the Pacific Fleet of the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy.
This time, the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet and the Lighthouse Navy Pacific Fleet also tried their best. (To read the exciting novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
In addition to leaving some fighters to escort the fleet, the rest All the carrier-based aircraft were divided into two waves and dispatched 0…
Each wave of carrier-based aircraft consisted of 120 carrier-based fighters, 165 dive bombers and 165 torpedo attack aircraft.
Such a scale is already very large.
Not only that, in order to destroy the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Empire Navy in one fell swoop.
The main battleship formations of the Eastern Empire Navy Combined Fleet and the Lighthouse Country Navy Pacific Fleet are also accelerating towards the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Empire Navy.
They hope that after their carrier-based aircraft complete the attack, they can rely on the powerful main battleship formation to beat the fallen dog and destroy the remaining warships of the Russian Empire Navy Pacific Fleet in one fell swoop, thereby completely winning this naval battle.
It can be seen that the East Sea Empire Navy Combined Fleet and the Lighthouse Country Navy Pacific Fleet are still very ambitious in this battle.
On the side of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Empire Navy, after dawn, the entire fleet has already switched to air defense operations.
Aircraft carriers and battleships are protected by cruisers and destroyers, and various anti-aircraft firepower has been aimed at the sky, ready to fire at enemy fighters appearing in the sky at any time.
At the same time, some warships equipped with air search radars have moved forward to the sea area hundreds of kilometers ahead of the fleet to perform air defense alert tasks. Once the enemy’s carrier-based aircraft group is discovered first, report to the fleet immediately.
The Russian Empire Navy 0.1 On the battleship Anna I, the flagship of the Pacific Fleet, Admiral Kuznetsov, the fleet commander, and Major General Sergeyev, the chief of staff, were both excited and excited, although they did not sleep all night.
They knew very well that the next battle was related to the fate of the entire fleet and even the entire navy.
So, they were naturally very concerned about the next battle.
"Report, Commander, the air search radar found a large number of aircraft coming towards us!" an officer reported.
Admiral Kuznetsov took a deep breath, he knew that the battle had finally arrived.
"Order the fleet to carry out air defense operations with all its strength according to the predetermined plan!" Admiral Kuznetsov gave the order. .
