"Yes, Commander, the situation is really bad now! I'm afraid our fleet must temporarily evacuate the Mariana Islands!"

Abdut, the Navy Fleet Staff Officer, focused his head, and then said, "After all, the Mariana Islands are an absolute national defense circle that the Japanese must defend, and this place is not too far from their local and overseas colonies.

In this case, they do have reasons and ability to mobilize powerful aviation forces to participate in the battle!

But our intelligence is obviously wrong and we have not learned the real aviation power of the Japanese army!"

"With that being said, how can we retreat easily? In that case, wouldn't tens of thousands of army troops on Saipan be dangerous?"

Spruins was frowning. This was a very difficult and bad decision. He had already decided that he was very cautious, but he did not expect that the Japanese still gave him a big "surprise".

About said in a deep voice: "Commander, although things are bad, the worst thing is that when our aviation power is completely consumed, the Japanese warship group rushed forward and launched a battleship duel against us. In that case, we may really suffer a devastating blow."

Spruenz was shocked and said, "Do you mean that the Japanese warship group will soon be full of their lives in order to seek a battleship duel with us?"

Abu Te said, "Based on my judgment, this is likely to become a reality. This time, the Japanese fleet sent a total of 9 battleships, including two of the most powerful Yamato-class battleships.

Obviously, they did this in a hurry and wanted to make a desperate bet. Once there was a chance to showdown in battleships, they would definitely not let it go!"

"I buy it! That won't work!"

Spruins shook his head quickly. Although the US Fifth Fleet and Expeditionary Fleet were also very awesome and had strong firepower, Spruins had never considered a close-range life-and-death showdown with the Japanese main warships.

Because that is equivalent to slapping one's own martial arts and using one's own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths.

Spruins knew even more clearly that if we only talked about the combat effectiveness of warships, we might be afraid that the US warship group might not be the opponent of the Japanese warship group. After all, the US Navy is too young.

Once a battleship duel begins, it can only be described as a sword. Even if the US fleet wins with its numerical advantage, it will definitely bleed heavily and pay an unimaginable heavy price!

At this time, About continued: "The current situation will never be uncontrollable. As long as we can temporarily avoid the edge, we can definitely regroup.

If the aircraft carrier battle group under General MacArthur can set out to support immediately, they can enter the battle within two days, and they will inevitably regain air supremacy in the Mariana Islands.

The crisis of the island troops will naturally be solved. As long as they can grit their teeth and guard their positions, the casualties will not be too serious."

"Okay! You are right. Only by retracting your fist first can you hit it more forcefully! You immediately convey our opinions to General Mitchell, hoping that he can make a wise choice! In addition, send an urgent call to General MacArthur,..."

Spruins nodded helplessly. Although he reluctantly admitted defeat like this, and did not want to bow his head to ask for help, the situation was critical at this time and he could no longer take care of face or something.

At this moment, the Japanese fighter fleet came from the Ogasawara Islands and had already begun to have a group of intercourse with the US fighter aircraft mainly composed of f6f Hellcat fighters, and the extremely fierce sea-to-air war was staged again.

Although the Japanese escort fighters are almost all Rafale fighters, their overall performance is even better than that of Hellcat fighters, and it seems to have a considerable advantage.

Fortunately, after a series of fierce wars of attrition, the quality of Japanese pilots has declined seriously, and a large number of pilots are young people who have just graduated from the Flight Academy. Both their psychological qualities and practical abilities are much worse.

Therefore, after the fierce interception of the US fighter pilots, the 570 combat aircraft that took off from the Ogasawara Islands fell into a tough battle as soon as they met, and a large number of bombers and fighters were shot down on the spot.

Otherwise, the US Fifth Fleet would have to be beaten with a slaughter and a large piece of meat was torn off.

However, under the desperate charge of the Japanese pilots, not only did they shoot down a large number of US fighter jets, but more than half of the bombers successfully broke through. Then they rushed torpedoes with the powerful air defense firepower of the fleet!

The US fleet, which had already suffered serious casualties, was once again severely hit, especially the most hated aircraft carrier group, which was "a scattered and rained all night long."

The flagship of the first mobile fleet of the Japanese Joint Fleet, the command module of the Ruihe aircraft carrier.

Jisaburo Ozawa stood on the deck, staring at the third wave of 97 planes taking off and taking off until they disappeared into the distance and refused to withdraw their gaze.

For this decisive battle in the Philippines, the Japanese army can be said to have done its best, and all ships that can operate mobile warfare in the joint fleet were collected.

This battle not only concerns the safety of the Mariana Islands, the success or failure of the Japanese Navy, but also the future and destiny of the local security empire. It is conceivable that the pressure Ozawa Shisaburo is under.

So far, Jisaburo Ozawa has only received a bad news. In the first wave of 104 combat aircraft, only 16 combat aircraft were able to arrive in Guam safely.

Their record was nothing more than sinking a light aircraft carrier, causing several aircraft carriers to suffer some damage.

Nearly 100 combat aircraft have only replaced a light aircraft carrier, and no matter how you calculate it, you can't get any advantage!

"Report to the Commander, good news! Great news!"

After waiting anxiously for a while, another communications officer ran over excitedly. Before the person arrived, the voice arrived first:

"A general Natsuyun from Saipan Island came from an emergency! Under the continuous attacks of the Imperial Air Warriors, the US aircraft carrier group suffered heavy damage. So far, at least 8 have been sunk and destroyed, and another 6 have suffered heavy damage.

In addition, there are more than ten supply ships, and the warships have also suffered serious injuries!

Currently, there are signs of the entire U.S. fleet evacuation from the waters of Saipan,..."

"What? Have we really succeeded?"

Ozawa Jisaburo's pupils were tightening. This news was so shocking. It was a good news that he had dreamed of hearing these days, but at this moment he couldn't believe it was true.

The communications officer focused on it and said, "Yes, Commander, we won and won an unprecedented victory!

General Nagashimo also specifically mentioned that in the second round of attack, a large number of imperial warriors hit the US warships with flesh and blood, which caused such huge damage to the US fleet..."

"I understand, they are all real warriors of the Empire, and the people of the Empire will always remember their reputation!"

Ozawa Jisaburo nodded silently. He naturally knew that the Kanfeng Special Attack Team led by Guan Xingnan.

"So, the empire still has a chance to continue to expand its results in this war? Can it even seek a battleship duel?"
