"What? The fleet was intercepted and suffered heavy losses?" Meijiro Umezu was shocked when he heard this: "What's going on? What ability do they have to cause our fleet to suffer heavy losses?!"

"Maybe, that's the new American weapon!" said the staff officer tremblingly: "We don't know what it is, like... it's our suicide plane, yes, it breaks into our fleet and explodes!"

"Impossible!" said Mijiro Umezu, "How can Americans use suicide planes!"

Mijiro Umezu said this out of understanding of the Americans. Americans would not be able to sacrifice the lives of soldiers to attack the enemy as the Japanese.

"Will it be a Chinese suicide plane?" the staff officer guessed.

Meijiro Umezu was stunned when he heard this. This was possible because the spirit shown by the Chinese on the battlefield was also very ignorant of life and death.

But then Mejiro Umezu shook his head again and said, "It's unlikely that they have no need to do this!"

Umezu Mijiro was right. At this time, the US coalition forces had already gained an absolute advantage and did not need to develop such "suicide fighter jets" to deal with the Japanese army.

"Then...we don't know what's going on!" The staff officer said awkwardly: "According to the surviving soldiers, the fighter planes even shot flares in the air to search, and after finding our fleet, they dived down to attack..."

"No matter what!" said Mijiro Umezu. "Prepare for the next crossing operation, we will send fighter planes to escort the fleet!"

"yes!"

This time, Umezu Mijiro made two preparations.

On the one hand, it is at the southward entrance of the Korean Strait, which is the only way for enemy fighters to enter the Korean Strait... Enemy fighters cannot circle around Japan and enter the strait from the northern entrance, which will make the trip several times more.

Meijiro Umezu set up more than ten radars here, and even specially transported two radars to a small island in the middle of the strait to make up for the monitoring blind spots.

On the other hand, more than ten fighter jets were arranged at the entrance of the strait and above the fleet... At this time, the Japanese fighter jets were deployed and consumed scarce fuel, so this could be considered a big deal.

Meijiro Umezu thought that this was always foolproof. Although Meijiro Umezu was from the army, he also had basic aviation knowledge. He knew that if the enemy's suicide aircraft wanted to carry bombs, he would not be able to take into account both air combat... Therefore, after arranging radar and fighter planes, he could discover and annihilate them.

But what Umezu Mijiro didn't expect was that his arrangement would not work at all:

The radar discovered the target... The Japanese radar was a relatively backward type. He could only judge the target's position from the waveform chart, and then immediately ordered the fighter to take off and intercept it.

But who would have thought that the speed of the "aircraft missile" was much faster than the speed of the Japanese "Moonlight" night fighter... The maximum speed of the "aircraft missile" reached 656 kilometers per hour, while the maximum speed of the "Moonlight" fighter was only 500 kilometers per hour.

This made it impossible for the Japanese "Moonlight" fighter to catch up with the "aircraft missile". When the "Moonlight" fighter arrived at the target area, he only saw dozens of highlights heading straight to the direction of the fleet, but the pilot could do nothing.

"How is that possible!" Umezu Mijiro couldn't help but screamed madly: "How could they use such an advanced fighter jet, a fighter jet with a speed of more than 600 per hour as a suicide fighter jet!"

If "aircraft missiles" are understood as manned suicide fighter jets, it is indeed impossible... but if it is a drone, it is another matter.

No matter how Mijiro Umezu called "Impossible", the scene of burning the fleet happened again without any surprise, and this time it was even more harsh, because Zhang Chi fired fifty "aircraft missiles" in one breath this time.

The only benefit of the Japanese army is that the plane they escorted the fleet to watch every detail of the "aircraft missile" attacking the fleet throughout the whole process, and even pilots observe the "aircraft missile" at close range... It is a reconnaissance type "aircraft missile". When launching an attack, the reconnaissance type slows down and observes it over the battlefield.

So, the Japanese finally knew what was attacking them.

"That should be an 'aircraft missile'!" The staff officer looked at the information and said to Mijiro Umezu, "The things used by the Germans to bomb Britain, but I don't know why, and the Americans also know how to produce them!"

Meijiro Umezu sat on the chair and said weakly: "Also, the Americans have improved them, so they can fight at night and even control them!"

"Your Excellency General!" At this time, a correspondent handed a telegram to Mijiro Umezu.

After reading the content of the telegram, Mijiro Umezu was shocked: "What, Americans don't know about the 'aircraft missile'? That's the Chinese!"

Meijiro Umezu's information is very accurate, and the United States is indeed surprised by the "aircraft missiles".

Stilwell called Zhang Chi to inquire immediately.

"Major General, I heard that you have successfully stopped the Japanese from crossing the Korean Strait? How did you do it?"

Zhang Chi knew that this matter could no longer be hidden, so he replied: "General, we are using 'aircraft missiles'!"

"'Airplane Missile'?" Stilwell continued: "You already have this thing? But as far as I know, the 'Airplane Missile' does not have such high accuracy, and it also attacks uncertain moving targets!"

"We have made a series of improvements to the 'aircraft missile', General!" Zhang Chi replied.

"Hmm!" Stilwell was silent for a moment, and then said, "Interestingly, have you improved the Germans' things so that they can accurately attack the Japanese fleet at night?"

"Yes!"

After a while, Stilwell said, "You know, this is a good thing for you, or it may not be a good thing!"

"Yes, General, I understand!"

Zhang Chi certainly understood what Stilwell meant. The reason why the United States supported the Expeditionary Force so strongly was because the expeditionary force was too weak and unlikely to pose a threat.

But now, as the expeditionary force becomes stronger and stronger, the United States' suspicion about the expeditionary force will become deeper, especially the expeditionary force still has weapons and equipment that even the United States does not have.

When it is, Zhang Chi knows very well that if he wants to develop, there will always be such a day.

"It's good for you!" Stilwell said: "Because of my position, I must report to Washington, and I hope you can understand!"

"Of course!" Zhang Chi replied.
