Chapter 809 It's time to end

Americans can't afford to hurt. Read h-u-n to me and mix*h-u-n--Please remember

Even if the Japanese fleet has already dominated, it is likely to have a great contribution, but Nimitz really can't imagine how the uproar caused by the troop ship being sunk in order to covet this contribution, causing the sank of the troop ship to be sunk. Especially when Asian policies are still criticized by many people.

More than 2,000 soldiers had already fallen into the sea, and less than one-third of the surrounding ships rescued them.

Such losses are already unbearable, and with the attack, the Japanese discovered more troop ships.

Even if the air defense can be driven out with anti-aircraft artillery as Halsey said, it is enough to protect itself, and even the air defense weapons carried by the troop carrier are brought out and added to the air defense system, if there are any more casualties and the naval aviation forces do not return to help in time, the responsibility will be great.

Nimitz was not worried about not involving himself. Even if there were greater casualties, there were excuses in the army to settle them, but what he was more worried about was the impact of this matter on domestic Asian strategy.

Although it cannot stop the driving force of interests, if time is delayed and the best opportunity is lost, these cannot be compensated.

It doesn't matter if the US Navy fails once or twice, the war begins, and there are opportunities. Supported by the strong American industrial system, there are continuous warships and aircraft being organized into the naval formation. Victory is only a matter of time. But the strategic direction must not change again due to accidents halfway through.

Now a raid from Japanese fighter jets has taken over the air superiority here, and it is hard to say whether there will be any major casualties.

Nimitz can't afford to bet.

Hearing news from the battlefield on the other side, he knew that Type Zero was no longer so powerful in front of Hellcats. Drawing some fighter planes back to defense does not necessarily mean the loss of opportunities there.

While the aircraft carrier gradually moved backwards, the formation of Montana battleships was moving towards the other side. If it weren't for maintaining the air defense system and dealing with the Japanese fighter jets that rushed towards the aircraft carrier, they would probably have run to the Japanese main fleet at full speed. The callback fighter jets could also re-release the power of these giant cannons.

42 American fighter jets returned quickly.

The Japanese main fleet is fighting in a hot spot, and 14 wildcats and 5 Hellcats have been shot down by Zero or Japanese anti-aircraft artillery. At this time, there are only 17 Zero and Super Zero fighters flying in the air. Read h-u-n to me and mix*h-u-u-n--please remember that the remaining more than 40 fighters of the Americans still have the advantage.

There is already a stage for bombers and torpedoes.

The Type 3 anti-aircraft shells were activated twice again, but the effect was no longer as great as the first time. Although there were two or three aircraft at one time, the damage to the expensive gun barrel at least made the Japanese feel that it was a bit unprofitable.

They are more about increasing air defense efforts and delaying time.

In fact, at this time, if they ask for help from the land aviation on standby near Newcastle, and the distance is so close to the coast, reinforcements will arrive instantly and change the situation of the war.

You should know that the Japanese relied on the Zero-type British and American air forces to fight back. In addition to the P-38, they can also parry other fighters, and other fighters are also trapped on the Zero-type fighter. This is also one of the reasons why the Japanese are doing so smoothly in Australia.

But the conflict between Japan's sea and land definitely prevents Yamamoto Iroku from letting go of his proud naval dignity and opening this point, especially at this moment when he is about to divide Australia's largest fatty meat.

Moreover, the Japanese main fleet was not critical at this time.

No matter how hard the Japanese air defense firepower is, they will hit the target. With the remaining Zero fighter jets' desperate attack, at least Yamamoto Irosaki felt that it was not critical at this time, and he could continue to drag the American fighter jets and give Yamaguchi Tatsuki more attack time.

He already knew the news over there. Even if this place is in danger, he dared to keep betting and completely hurt the Americans.

If it were before, he would definitely cherish every warship and not easily exchange damage with the Americans.

But now with the support of the umbrella company, as long as the most prosperous areas in Australia are captured, there will be huge wealth waiting for them. Before the new American fleet arrives, a new huge fleet will be reorganized.

As for the sacrifice of the personnel, he didn't think much about it. The spirit of sacrifice has always been actively promoted by Japanese soldiers.

Among the Eastern countries, even if Japan entered the Western civilized world with one foot, life is cheap.

So, he dared to gamble.

But when he saw many American fighter jets suddenly withdraw from the battlefield, he knew that Yamaguchi Daowen was going to be sad.

Yamaguchi Tatsume caught the Americans off guard by a sudden attack and achieved brilliant results.

If the American fighter planes rushed back, they would not have many opportunities to attack, and they would easily be bitten by the Americans and chased them until the mothership that gave up their defense.

Yamamoto Iroku hesitated for a moment. When he heard someone cheering outside the command room and the American Hornet had been sunk, he decided to suspend his order to evacuate Yamaguchi Tatsume.

Others, the Hornets and York City, have been seriously injured, and two other troop transport ships have been locked by Japanese fighter jets. There are not many opportunities like this, so we should continue to bet.

Yamaguchi Tatsume was obviously the same, and while ordering the Akagi and Ruizhu to evacuate in the direction of Coffs Harbor, the fighter planes were ordered to concentrate their efforts against the injured warships and troop transport ships.

At the beginning, Yamaguchi Tatsumeth considered the safety of the mothership. If there was any danger, the mothership would retreat to the port of Coffs, which the Japanese had occupied, and those carrier-based aircraft could land directly on the temporary airports of the front line with honor.

It doesn't need their help, but it doesn't mean it's stupid. HNAs who have returned with reputation can have more reason to take the lead in the division of interests in Sydney.

But Yamamoto Iroku obviously underestimated the number of torpedoes in the American mermaid. If the Americans, who have always been stingy with ammunition, were not carrying few bombs and torpedoes, they would definitely throw them down like hail. However, when the battle was fierce, so many fighter planes were almost at the same time, they would have almost caught up with the dumplings.

The white lines of torpedoes were everywhere pulled up a burst of chaos.

Compared with bombs, Japanese battleships also care more about these more dangerous things.

Even if the American bombshell hits, as long as it is not concentrated in key areas, the battleship can withstand ten or eight, and it is only broken and not sunken. However, things like torpedo can be said to be the key underwater part when hit, and sometimes one or two shots are fatal.

But the Americans dropped too many torpedoes. Even though the American torpedoes were also very dirty at this time, they were dud or targeted from time to time, but the advantage of quantity weighted the lucky index. If Yamato accidentally got hit another torpedo.

The Yamato, which was hit by two torpedoes, was still firm, and its 1,147 watertight compartments played a big role.

However, other warships do not have that much good luck.

The Feihe, which was already in the fire, was fine for the time being, but the Canghe had been hit by two torpedoes one after another. The Americans' luck broke out. When the Canghe, which had lost power, was hit by a 726 kilogram bomb again, the armor of the ammunition depot, which claimed to be able to withstand 800 kilograms of horizontal bombs, was penetrated. The big explosion of the ammunition depot instantly tore the Canghe in half and quickly sank into the sea.

The Canghe aircraft carrier sank and the Feihe was seriously injured, which made Yamamoto Iroku dispel his plan to fight the decisive battle with the US main fleet by relying on super battleships, and decisively ordered Newcastle to evacuate.

The attack power of the aircraft carrier made Yamamoto afraid. Without air protection, the Yamato and the Apo, which had only been hit by a blockbuster bomb, would suffer. The American Air Force's strength surprised him a little. HNA suffered a great loss and needed adjustments. Moreover, the main purpose of this operation was to be on land.

There are two Nagamon-class battleships in Newcastle that are bombarding the Allied positions. Just need to get closer, the Yamato's giant cannon can play a greater role and achieve the established goals of this operation. Even if it is harmful to chase it to the shore by American fighter jets, the Yamato's giant cannon can tell the army's local buns and the strength of the navy.

The Japanese main fleet began to retreat under the command of Tadaichi Nakamoto, and American air fighters continued to entangle.

Americans' luck broke out continuously. As the zero-type blockade became more and more fragile as fuel consumption and ammunition consumption became more and more vulnerable, American bombers and torpedoes had more opportunities to be deployed in Japan's sparse air defense network.

After injuring the top heavy patrol next to the Shiyu destroyer, the Americans sank another supply ship and a Yangyan-class destroyer.

They were so excited that they were eager to expand their results.

At this time, Yamaguchi Tatsumega was also adding to the Japanese's achievements.

The Hornet was about to sink, and its tilted hull was no longer helpful.

The Saratoga, where Halsey is located, was also severely damaged, with the oil film dragging behind him for several kilometers.

York City blocked another torpedo. After the power system was not a problem, it was hit by two or three bombs one after another, and it was still crawling slowly. The Japanese obviously regarded it as the next target of the broken finger. Even if the American air reinforcements came back, they were still attacking wildly and even overturning a troop transport ship. Fortunately, the ships next to them helped in time, with little casualties. Especially since the Americans' air defense focus was shifted here, they never gave the Japanese a chance.

"Drive all your weapons and go back!" The Japanese were still shouting and continuing to attack.

"It's time to end!" However, Yamaguchi Tatsume was already thinking silently. He was reluctant to put all the elites in his hands here. He knew that it was difficult to train an elite. With the return of some American wildcats and Hellcats, there were less than 15 super zero fighter jets there.
