"The ocean always belongs to the Warriors, not those cowards who dare not fight openly!" After hearing the information coming, William Halsey said disdainfully.

American intelligence personnel have indeed locked in the huge fleet of the Chinese Navy near the Philippines. They have even appeared swaggeringly on the Pacific Ocean east of the Philippines.

The US Navy near East Asia is mainly concentrated in Japan, which is also the confidence that the Americans can still stabilize the situation in Japan even if the army fails. This formation with 3 battleships and 3 aircraft carriers in China is indeed not something that the remaining US Navy near the Philippines can compete with.

Halsey's third fleet rushed from Guam to rescue the Philippines, and to take a break in the Philippines and continue to assist Japan with the increasingly weak confidence.

Along the way, they were constantly harassed by Chinese submarines and planes. Even Halsey was very cautious and did not dare to move forward at full speed. When they arrived at the Eastern Seas of the Philippines on December 15, although China's harassing fighters still appeared from time to time, throwing dozens of bombs or torpedoes, they never saw the Chinese fleet appearing out to fight one-on-one, but just hiding around in the Eastern Seas of the Philippines.

Halsey was very angry at the harassment method of the Chinese who had sunk two supply ships along the way, injured one cruiser and three destroyers, but he knew that it was too passive to deal with the harassing aircraft group with advanced fighter jets. What he needed was to find where the main force of the Chinese fleet was and wipe it out in one fell swoop.

The materials brought to support Japan provided sufficient material support. If there were not a large number of cargo ships or even troop carriers followed, the fleet would have been faster.

It is precisely because of these supplies that, except for a few ships who want to contact the Philippines, the main force of the fleet is still sailing slowly on the sea.

The retreat and hiding of the Chinese fleet have solved the crisis in the Philippines, and the rest is to completely eliminate the hidden dangers brought by the nearby Chinese navy.

"The aircraft that came to harass this time was a carrier-based aircraft, which was very similar to our pirates! And we locked in the general direction of their aircraft carrier!" On the night of the 15th, the Chinese fighter jets continued to harass, but also allowed the Americans to find some clues.

"Find out their coordinates, and we must completely let the Chinese remember our fists!" Halsey, who had been busy all night, was excited.

Early in the morning of the 16th, the Americans who deployed reconnaissance planes still found traces of the Chinese warships.

"What? There is only one Shushan-class aircraft carrier?" Halsey said in surprise. "There is no escort warships forming a formation, there is only one lonely aircraft carrier?"

"Have you seen the takeoff and landing of the carrier-based aircraft?" Halsey continued to ask after pondering for a moment.

"Yes, there are dozens of fighter jets docked on the deck. Although we had 2 reconnaissance planes shot down, we did see that they had more than a dozen aircraft taking off!" The intelligence major staff officer also took out the washed photos. There was indeed only one lonely aircraft carrier on the vast sea above.

"Either their main force is hiding nearby, or are these ignorant Chinese people not understanding the cooperation of the fleet?" Although Halsey was still a little unsure of the Chinese Navy, he looked down on the Chinese Navy.

Not long after, when the reconnaissance plane heard another lonely Dream-class battleship nearby, Haerxi immediately ordered the fleet to move closer to the other side. It was farther away from the Philippines, without the concealment of the island, and there was no fear of the Chinese ambush. As long as the two lonely and helpless Chinese main battleships were sunk, it would be a great achievement.

After Halsey's careful investigation again, no trace of other warships was found around him, and even the submarine was not found at all. Instead, information about the bad weather was sent back.

"The warriors on the sea are never afraid of storms!" Halsey glanced at the information sent back and didn't care at all. He was busy organizing another round of attacks to repel Chinese fighter jets.

The attacks of nearly 100 fighter jets made Halsey more confirm that the Chinese were resisting powerlessly.

In the latest information, the aircraft carrier and the battleship of China have already met. The dense air defense firepower on the battleship that was escorted and the battleship that was like a nest of air defense weapons resisted the first round of tentative attacks by HNA.

After the Chinese fighter jets retreated quickly, Halsey immediately ordered HNA's second round of attack to be dispatched immediately.

...

"I heard that those Chinese fighter jets didn't have time to return to the aircraft carrier, and we rushed to land all the way?" Brown laughed and said, "Then there is only an empty-shell aircraft carrier and a battleship left there. Wouldn't it be our dead target?"

"It's not that easy. I heard that the battleship was like a hedgehog, with air defense firepower all over his body. Even the aircraft carrier was full of air defense firepower, and there was no advantage at all! Be careful!" Squadron Captain Jones reminded, but he didn't feel it was difficult to clean up the two battleships in a relaxed tone.

"That big goal is simply a medal given to me by God. I dare say that even if I close my eyes, I can still let the thrown torpedoes hit them!" A ridicule also came from the Avengers torpedo plane.

The tentative attack in front dispelled Halsey's last concern. The attack from the second round of HNA was serious. Even if the aircraft carrier and battleship had an escort formation, they could not escape and die, let alone two lonely warships?

"Okay! Young men, our target can be seen. The enchanting medal is right in front of you. Hurry up and get it yourself!" The American HNA pilots all teased easily. It was not until Major Peterson, who was in charge of the attack command that they restrained and searched for the coordinates of the target on the sea.

...

"The weather may get bad!" Major General Smith reminded Halsey with a report, "Extra attention is required for air combat!"

After the reconnaissance plane reported the news of poor weather conditions around, the fleet's meteorological personnel began to actively measure and quickly made an analysis report.

Halsey frowned, then stretched out and said: "The fighter planes ahead have just arrived above the target. Let them speed up their speed, fight quickly, and return early!"

Once the storm is too strong, the take-off and landing of the fighter aircraft on the aircraft carrier will become particularly dangerous, and even Halsey dares not take risks. However, it takes a long distance to lean on the fleet and can only count on the fighter to drag it. He still did not let the fighter crew return immediately, and he reported a trace of luck in his heart: "The current sea conditions are not bad. Perhaps in less than an hour, those young men from HNA will be able to finish the battle and return safely."

...

"I saw the target, and there were indeed only two main battleships. The Chinese are so stupid! And there was no Chinese fighter jet in the sky intercepting us. Medals and honors, I'm here!" Lieutenant Schneitt, who first arrived over the Chinese aircraft carrier, shouted excitedly, pushed the joystick, and dived.

Without the interference of Chinese fighter jets, he and his 18 pirate fighters who were diving down only needed to avoid the dense air defense firepower on Chinese aircraft carriers and battleships.

However, these dense arrays of air defense artillery composed of large, medium and small calibers are directly spread in the air defense firewall, which makes Schneiter, who dare not get too close, almost return in his first attack.

"I hit it! I have already caught a medal! Gold coins, the beauty is not far from me!" Schneitt, who successfully threw two 60-pound aircraft bombs and hit the aircraft carrier deck, didn't care about the situation of the whole team except for his zero eggs, and shouted excitedly.

"The deck of that aircraft carrier has armor, and your bomb is not hurt at all!" Teammate Miley couldn't help but speak sarcastically.

"I hit it for the first time and I can hit it again. Anyway, it is already a dead target..." Schneit's gesture of dancing and suddenly stopped in the air, and he opened his mouth wide and looked at the direction where his nose was pulling up.

"What's wrong? Oh, God..." Miley was also stunned, but his sharp scream reminded the American HNA pilots who were about to aim at the Chinese warship again.

"Cake sellers!" Successive screams rang out. At this time, the American HNA pilots could no longer care about the Chinese warship below, and looked at the distant junction of Tianshui.

...

"Damn it, damn it! The weather forecasts of these idiots have never been accurate!" Halsey kept scolding.

Now, he is not able to change anything except scolding.

A storm, no, it should be said that a typhoon, a super typhoon swept over without warning, at least the weather forecast on the US fleet did not expect such a big storm.

The fighter jets that fled back from the Chinese warships did not even have time to land halfway, and the strong wind that was swept through heavy rain.

The wind speed instantly reached 38 meters per second, and at its maximum time it even exceeded 60 meters per second.

The strong wind blew up so high that it was over the deck, and swept the fighter jets on the deck that had no time to withdraw into the hangar into the sea. Even the aircraft carriers were like a roller coaster, bumping between the wave valley and the top of the waves, and they didn't care about the American fighter jets that were blown by strong winds and heavy rain in the air and kept falling.

In addition to the newly joined Montana-class battleships of the Guam and the Kentucky Iowa-class battleships, even the eight Essex-class aircraft carriers of the Third Fleet that came with this time were all appearing and dangerous in the giant**.

And those light aircraft carriers, escort aircraft carriers and cruisers and destroyers below are constantly thrown around like giant toys, and they can only rely on prayer to determine their final destiny.
