In fact, before the start of the Battle of 6, the US military had the opportunity to avoid a disaster.

When the first batch of thirty Japanese fighter jets appeared near the sky above Kwajalin Island, the US military had already discovered the Japanese fighter jets on the radar... But as the Japanese hoped, the US radar soldiers easily ignored them.

This cannot be blamed on the US radar soldiers. First, the reason is that there are too few Japanese fighter jets in this batch, only 30. At this time, there are at least hundreds of fighter jets near Kwajalin. The US radar soldiers do not believe that the Japanese army will have 30 fighter jets and challenge the US air supremacy.

Another reason is that at this time, the bombing of Kwajalin Island by US fighter jets had begun, and the aircraft fleet flew around in the air, including main aircraft carriers and escort aircraft carriers. The directions of these aircraft carriers are different, but the directions of the fighter jets are also different. So the Japanese thought this should be a friendly fighter jet on which aircraft carrier.

The Japanese were also worried about this matter, but after a while, no US military aircraft came to intercept it, so they slowly felt relieved.

As soon as the sky was dawn, the squadron leader Koike Reino saw three red signal flares rising from the direction of Kwajalin Island. He knew that this was the Americans' sixth round of Kwajalin Island.

To be on the safe side, he asked Nakajima's sergeant to take a fighter plane to Kwajalin Island to confirm.

This was planned before. You don’t need to worry about exposing the Japanese army’s combat intentions... There are only two fighter jets. Even if the US military has found these two fighter jets, they will think that they are just fish that took off from Kwajalin Airport, so they won’t take it seriously.

Soon Koike Reino received a message from Nakajima Soldier: "The fox has already come out of the hole! Repeat, the fox has already come out of the hole!"

Xiaochi did not dare to neglect, so he immediately transferred the information to the main machine group behind, so the main machine group accelerated and headed straight for Kwajialin Island.

Ten minutes later, the main Japanese aircraft fleet flew over Kwajialin Island and began to climb and then dived down.

At this time, the US military on the airline of Kwajalin Island had only a few fighter jets, and most of them were bombers for bombing missions.

It was not until this time that the US radar soldiers realized something was wrong, because the US bombers did not have such a large formation as 60, so they hesitated and issued an air defense alarm, but it was too late at this time... The battle started the moment the alarm came out.

Just as the US military landed Unit 6 soldiers turned their eyes to Kwajalin Island, which was blown up by shells and bombs in front of them, and were nervously thinking about how to break through the Japanese defense line, a sharp whistling sound suddenly sounded in the sky... Many US soldiers thought it was a US fighter plane, but they did not realize that something was wrong until the roar of the aviation bomb sounded overhead.

Of course, at this time, some US military thought that some US pilot who had not yet woken up dropped bombs, but when they were surprised to see Zero fighter jets with the sun logo dive down and fired rows of bullets on board the sixth boat, they realized that they were being attacked by Japanese fighter jets!

"How is this possible?" Colonel Wat, the commander of the 6th War 3rd Division, who was in charge of commanding the 6th, looked at the Japanese fighter jets in front of him in disbelief.

"Where did they come out?" Colonel Wat screamed: "Our radar's aviation force didn't even give any warning!"

"Colin!" reminded the staff officer: "Now is not the time to talk about these things, what should we do?"

"What else can I do?" Colonel Watt replied in a furious manner: "What else can I do if I can save my life!"

Before Colonel Wat finished speaking, a bomb landed nearby. The bomb did not directly hit Colonel Wat's 6th boat, but the waves raised up would overturn the 6th boat.

Colonel Walter is right. The 6th unit does not have any air defense equipment, and even the 6th gunboat and 6th cars are... Although the 6th car is equipped with a dual 12.7mm machine gun, it was designed to target 6th and 6th places, and the elevation angle is not enough to attack fighter planes flying in the sky.

Therefore, the US military landed Unit 6 as a target.

Johnson's first reaction was to order the surrounding fighter jets responsible for the alert to stop the Japanese fighter jets, and at the same time, the aircraft carrier's fighter jets took off immediately to fight.

This is a correct command, but it is also an outdated command.

Due to the convenience of bombing, the US military has only more than ten fighter jets in charge of guarding, and only two of these fighters are "Hellcats" that effectively restrain Zero fighters. Such a few fighters are simply not enough to prevent Japanese fighters from massacring units of the 6th. As for the fighter jets that take off by aircraft carriers... it takes time, especially at this time, bombers are frequently taking off and landing, so it is even more difficult for fighters to take off.

As a result, the US military's defense of Japanese fighter jets formed a vacuum. Japanese fighter jets bombed and fired the US military's ships with almost unscrupulous bombing and shooting, among which, especially tanks boarded the 6 ships. The position of tank boarded the 6 ships was before boarding the 6 car after boarding the 6 ships. The reason for putting it in this position is to allow it to board 6 as quickly as possible under the cover of boarding the 6 car and play its role.

This made the tank boarding the 6th ship in the center where it was most easily visible. In addition, the huge hull of the 6th ship made the Japanese pilots who had already remembered their appearance immediately and attacked them.

What's worse is that the tank boarding 6 is designed to carry out the 6th battle after mastering air supremacy rather than sea and air combat, so it does not have much anti-sinking and strike resistance, and its navigation is very slow, with a maximum flight of only 11 knots... Therefore, the US soldiers took the nickname for the tank boarding 6th, called "large slow target".

During the bombing of these "large slow targets" by Japanese fighter jets, three of them were bombed to a raging fire in a few minutes, and their hulls were also tilted and tilted.

When the other ships boarded the six ships, they saw that the situation was not good... At this time, they realized that the main target of the Japanese fighter jets was them, so they turned the bow and fled to the direction of the destroyer, hoping to get the fire cover of the destroyer as soon as possible, but how could the Japanese let them go so easily? The fighter jets quickly chased and dropped bombs...

Tanks and ships 6 were blown up on the road and lost their navigation ability and could not move. The most serious one was ignited with the fuel tank, and the entire ship was blown into a ball of fire.

Only one of them boarded the sixth ship and was lucky enough to escape to the destroyer's cover area. The anti-aircraft guns and machine guns on the destroyer opened fire in an instant and shot down several Japanese fighter jets following behind.
