spn At four o'clock in the afternoon on December 6, 1942, somewhere deep in the Pacific Ocean, the Chinese task force Dachu sailed the aircraft carrier.

Rear Admiral Yang Jiangming of the Dachu aircraft carrier was sitting at the table, staring intently at the radar data of the remaining fleets of the US Pacific Fleet that had just been sent back by the Seahawk reconnaissance plane, and doing calculations quickly, while Ge Cunsheng next to him was doing it in front of the sea map.

Calculation. The two of them calculated the position of the US fleet at almost the same time.

"Latitude 21°21 North, longitude 157°59 West, approximately 220 nautical miles east of Pearl Harbor."

Ge Cunsheng patted Jiang Ming's shoulder approvingly and said, "Boy, after you became the captain, you still haven't left behind these bases. Tell me what you think about the next night attack plan."

"It's the commander." In the previous night attack plan, Jiang Ming was also one of the participants in the formulation, so he was naturally familiar with it. "According to the plan, when the Seahawk reconnaissance plane discovered the remaining U.S. Pacific fleet group, the night attack plan will be

Fully activated. The follow-up Seahawk that replaced Seahawk No. 01 and Seahawk No. 02 has taken off and continues to monitor the movement of the US fleet.[

In this night attack plan, the Da Chu has 2 radar early warning aircraft and 13 modified aircraft equipped with active infrared night vision devices. The aircraft carrier Dayan also has 2 radar early warning aircraft and 12 aircraft equipped with active infrared night vision devices.

.There are also six Seahawk reconnaissance aircraft with maritime positioning and search capabilities.

In other words, we have only about 6-8 aircraft participating in aerial searches, and 25 infrared night combat aircraft with night positioning capabilities.

According to previous drills, this night attack was based on sea search and positioning, and locked the US warship group through radar early warning aircraft. Then, 25 aircraft equipped with active infrared night vision systems served as the main force of the night attack.

In the plan, in order to strengthen the effect of night attacks, in addition to these 25 fighters with active attack capabilities, there will also be 35 auxiliary fighters with night takeoff and preliminary combat capabilities. They will carry out attacks based on the fire generated by the fleet being hit.

.

Judging from the previous drills, as long as the mission fleet does not deviate greatly, I don’t think the problem will be too big. After all, the American fleet’s night battles, except for weak air defense response, are currently very poor. Their fleet is basically

It does not have the ability to fight at night. However, to ensure the safety of the fleet, I suggest increasing the number of radar jammers from one to two to ensure the safety of the fleet."

Ge Cunsheng nodded and had personally participated in the two previous night sneak attack drills on the fleet. With the help of the more than 20 sets of active infrared night vision devices newly issued to the navy, he searched and located the enemy fleet through medium and long-range radar.

, and then given precise infrared positioning over the fleet, often the enemy is struck by the enemy in the dark before they can react.

Although the Americans have strong scientific and technological strength, they have not kept up with the pace of war in many aspects. For example, according to intelligence, the US military has not done less work on improving night combat capabilities and radar search capabilities, and the corresponding equipment has basically been completed.

Or the research is about to be successful. However, the Pacific Fleet is not equipped with truly effective night combat equipment except radar and anti-aircraft searchlights.

"The fleet continues to advance 100 nautical miles and start the plan." Ge Cunsheng quickly gave the order. This was a battle that was just prepared. Although it was only a supplementary battle plan for the US aircraft carrier fleet not within Pearl Harbor, this time, Huangque

, one of the important contents of the plan. In the plan, even if all the US military fleets were to launch a large-scale night attack on Pearl Harbor, it would be inevitable.

The remaining fleet of the U.S. Pacific Fleet.

"General, this is the latest battle report."

What the staff officer handed to Admiral Nimitz was the latest report on the air battle over Oahu.

Looking at the shocking figures in this statistical report, even though Nimitz had already received early warning reports of heavy losses in air battles, he still couldn't help but feel frightened when he actually saw the comparison of losses.

"90 to 160 battle losses."

According to the report, for every two U.S. warships and aircraft lost, one Japanese Zero was lost. Although including the losses of Japanese bombers and attack aircraft, this figure is almost one to one, but there is a huge difference in fighter performance.

, made Nimitz realize that the upgrading of naval ships and aircraft was imminent.

He knew very well that compared to the Japanese aircraft carriers, the six aircraft carriers he commanded were not far behind. What lagged behind were the ships and aircraft on them.

Except for the first air battle, the U.S. military maintained a large advantage. In the second and subsequent sporadic air battles, the U.S. military was completely suppressed by the Japanese army. Those stunned elites of the U.S. Naval Air Force were completely unaccustomed to such high-speed combat.

Highly mobile Zero combat.

"Although this new type of Japanese warship and aircraft was discovered by the intelligence department very early, its excellent performance still shocked us. It has high climb rate, small turning radius, fast speed and long range. It almost completely suppresses our existing

Several types of ships and aircraft." The staff officer said with some pain.

Nimitz waved his hand, "The war will continue. New aircraft will not arrive before the end of the Oahu War. What the young men of the Air Force should do is use existing aircraft to find out how to fight against this new aircraft.

Method. It must have shortcomings."

Looking at the setting sun, Nimitz frowned tightly, as if there was a very bad premonition surrounding him.[

This uneasy feeling comes from the fear of Japan's powerful combined fleet, and also from the worry that Japan will launch a surprise attack on the remaining fleet again.

"This time, they will not be like the air raid on Oahu. We have sound defense and counterattack capabilities."

After thinking for a moment, Nimitz shook this uneasy feeling away from his mind. After all, the night was coming, and he should be thinking about tomorrow's battle.

The fleet of six aircraft carriers and the remaining fleet of more than 20 ships are not vulnerable, but have strong combat capabilities. Even if Japan himself makes a large-scale attack, he is confident that he can defend it.

Dark night was coming, and Nimitz closed his combat documents and prepared to enjoy the most peaceful dinner since the Pearl Harbor incident because later tomorrow, a support fleet of two old-fashioned aircraft carriers would arrive.

.Although not large enough, by that time, their mixture with the remaining fleet will completely drive away the Japanese.

Nimitz did not believe that he could turn around and defeat the Japanese combined fleet. "What he needed to do was to persist here" and let the American people see that the "government" was doing its best to fight back after declaring war.

Due to the time difference, Zhang Shusheng had just had lunch when the night attack group of the Chinese task force set off in the evening.

Due to the rotation of the Sea Eagle, Song Zhou and Cai Gongcheng, who had just completed their corrections, set off with the team in the Sea Eagle again.

The targeted upgrade of equipment that Huangque plans to carry out within half a year is a major exercise for the navy's new equipment in the next few years.

The more accurate radar and longer search range of radar early warning aircraft and the night discovery and combat capabilities of infrared night combat aircraft will be the epitome of sea and air night combat in the next few years.

However, the difficulty of this sneak attack is still very high. After all, it is a night battle. In the two previous drills, Zhang Shusheng discovered that even with the help of new equipment, the actual difficulty of this kind of night battle is still very high. And it can be done in one go

It cannot be ignored. Once the enemy suffers a big defeat, sum up experience and

After learning lessons and distributing corresponding equipment, future night battles will tend to be more small-scale and have become night air offensive and defensive battles. In the original history, in the late World War II, the night-time collisions between the Germans and Americans were not as good as during the day.

So frequent. But the results and losses on both sides are also huge.

At 8 pm on December 6th, after the U.S. government declared war, the remaining U.S. Pacific Fleet, which was responsible for the counterattack on Oahu, was finishing a busy day of work. The last plane also left Oahu.

Return to the skies. Familiar U.S. military personnel

Greeting each other. Although the shadow of the Pearl Harbor incident hangs in everyone's heart, optimistic and cheerful Americans always believe that as long as they are alive and as long as the American "government" has not fallen, then punishing the enemy is just a matter of course.

Sooner or later.

, "Will, when do you think we can hit Japan?" The USS Independence aircraft carrier is one of the largest remaining aircraft carriers in the US Pacific Fleet. It not only deploys some of the latest F5 warships and aircraft. It also deploys some of the latest F5 aircraft.

It also has powerful radar air defense and warning capabilities. It is one of the three remaining ships with radar early warning capabilities among the more than 20 remaining ships.

With the development of World War II, the importance of air defense early warning became more and more important, and the US military also deployed practical radars.

In the radar room of the USS Independence aircraft carrier, two radar soldiers were on routine duty. Their eyes only occasionally fell on the radar oscilloscope. After all, since their service, only a very few night test aircraft took off at night.

Only then can abnormalities be found on the radar oscilloscope.

, "I don't know, maybe 1944. Maybe we should hit Tokyo." Will turned on the radio he carried with him, and the broadcast of Fleet Radio was playing on the radio.

, "...President Roosevelt made a speech in Congress, officially declaring a state of war to the evil [Japanese] government and representatives of the Axis Powers...

This is not the latest news, but radio stations are broadcasting it repeatedly.

, "The great America will definitely defeat Hitler and the Emperor. You think so, Lawn... Will patted Lawn next to him with his big hand.

, "Of course, we have never failed, except for Pearl Harbor. However, this was their shameful sneak attack...

,"certainly……".

The two passed the time with discussions and broadcasts, until "When Will inadvertently cast his eyes on the oscilloscope, he was shocked to find an abnormality. The signal light of the radar oscilloscope also began to jump abnormally."

, "Damn, there's something wrong with this machine...

Will also moved closer to the oscilloscope and saw a cloud of snow on the radar oscilloscope, and the constantly beating signal lights made the two radar soldiers feel extremely troubled.

, "Lao En, you didn't turn on the machine just now, did you?...

, "Damn, I've been sitting here with you without moving an inch. There's something wrong with this machine, let someone fix it... Lawn complained.

, "Okay, leave the problem to the engineers..." Wilnet said.

A few minutes later, Nimitz received the first anomaly report.

, "General, there is a problem with the Independence's radar...

, "Let the engineers hurry up and repair them. They must be restored to normal before dawn tomorrow..." Nimitz gave the order without hesitation.

However, just a minute later, another report of radar anomalies was placed in front of him.

, "General, the Tennessee...,.

When the staff reported the third radar anomaly report with a shocked face, Nimitz realized with horror that a huge crisis was coming.

, "Sound the air defense siren and prepare to fight...

Nimitz issued a timely order. However, at this time, a light searcher on the USS Independence aircraft carrier had discovered an abnormality. "An enemy plane was discovered in the port direction..."

The sailor roared at the top of his lungs, which immediately tore through the night sky. "Enemy attack..."
