"The location of the enemy's aircraft group?" At this time, Zhang Chi returned to the first sentence of command.

"Two groups of aircraft in the northwest and northeast!" Commander Liang searched on the map for a while, then marked two points on the map, and said, "Da Qing is here, about one hundred kilometers away from us!"

"Yes!" Zhang Chi nodded.

After roughly calculating the time, Japan's zero-combat cruise speed is 300 kilometers per hour. Then one hundred kilometers will take twenty minutes.

"Transfer the information to the fleet immediately and ask them to cooperate with our army's air defense!" Zhang Chi ordered: "At the same time, order all fighter jets to take off and intercept!"

"yes!"

The orders were sent out one after another, and the warships and fighter jets from Guadalone rushed towards the Japanese fighter jets...

This is the difference between having radar and not having radar... Guadalam with radar can be said to know clearly the situation of the coming Japanese army. However, the Japanese army knew nothing about Guadalam.

In this situation of intelligence asymmetry, the Japanese army was destined to suffer another crushing defeat.

This time, there were 200 fighter jets sent by the Japanese army, and they were divided into two batches, each batch of 100.

Their goal is still to Guadalam Airport to destroy as many US fighter jets as possible... But this strategic goal has become a daytime talk in front of the US radar.

Smith sent 120 aircraft into two batches and sixty aircraft in each batch to fight.

Although the US fighter jets have fewer secondary aircraft than the Japanese army, the US fighter jets are victorious at home and they also know the position of the Japanese fleet... Smith even used all the fighter jets separately. He made sixty fighter jets in each batch and twenty each of them. These three sectors were waiting for the Japanese fleet at high places in different locations and directions.

Then, when the Japanese army fleet appeared, they drove the fighter plane and dived down and then quickly left the battlefield.

This caused the Japanese army to be ambushed by the US military along the way. When they flew over Gua Island, they were attacked by a joint attack by US warships and fighter jets. In the end, they were able to truly break into Gua Island airspace and drop over Henderson Airport only more than a dozen bombers.

However, as usual, injured Japanese fighter jets continued to crash into US naval warships... These Japanese troops would not hesitate at all. Because Guadalam is more than 1,000 kilometers away from Rabaul, this has reached the limit of the Japanese fighter jet's range. Therefore, once Japanese fighter jets are injured, it means that they will definitely not be able to return to Rabaul. So instead of dying at sea, it is better to fly the fighter jets to crash into enemy ships and die with the enemy.

Therefore, in this battle, the Japanese army still sank a destroyer, an oil tanker and a frigate.

The price the Japanese army paid was to destroy 59 fighter jets.

However, interestingly, after returning, the Japanese pilot told Yamamoto Iroku that they had sunk a US cruiser and eighteen transport ships in this operation, shot down more than 130 US fighter jets, and bombed the US military airport beyond recognition and would not be able to continue to use for some time in the future.

The false report of the results of the war was already quite common among the Japanese army at this time, because they needed to use victory to anesthesia themselves and the people in the country. For example, after the Japanese Navy suffered a crushing defeat in the Battle of Midway, they still sang triumphant songs and showed off a victory to return to the port...

However, what is even more interesting is that Yamamoto Iroku actually believed in this battle, which made him pay the price of his life.
