Naoto Ohara stood on the side of the ship of the "Ise", holding a telescope and watching with satisfaction the bombing of Iwo Jima by the Japanese Navy and seaplanes.

It has been a long time since I fought such a happy battle... For a long time, the Japanese joint fleet has been hiding at sea and dared not take action. This has been destined to be "cowardly and cowardly" and "greedy for life and death". The army even shouted: "Since the navy does not dare to fight, then just dismantle the warship and make it into a tank used by the army!"

Whenever he heard these words, Naoto Kohara was very angry. These army's local buns always thought of tanks, tanks and suicide charges... They didn't understand how important the navy is to island countries like Japan. What if there were many tanks? Once the sea power is controlled and air power is in the hands of the enemy, the enemy does not even need to attack Japan's mainland. Just cut off Japan's connection with the outside world. At that time, Japan, which lacks resources, will only have a dead end. The army's tanks have no use except becoming scrap iron.

but……

Naoto Ohara was unable to say anything. After all, the Japanese joint fleet was always avoiding the sea. If he avoided it, he finally wanted to fight a big battle but was defeated in a crushing defeat (Mariana Battle). This made Naoto Ohara like he had a breath in his stomach and was not happy. Sometimes he would rather fight with the United States happily, even if it was a "bad".

Until now, when he saw his warships and seaplanes bombing on Iwo Jima, Nao Ohara slowly relaxed... The bombs dropped on Iwo Jima were like venting the depression suppressed in his heart a little bit.

"That's the Chinese army that has won every battle in the Pacific battlefield!" Naoto Ohara said to himself: "Now, they will become our defeated generals! If you continue like this, in less than a few hours... the Chinese army will collapse!"

"Major General!" At this time, a staff officer reported to Naoto Ohara: "We have lost contact with the No. 21 reconnaissance plane on the reconnaissance mission!"

"Yes!" Naoto Ohara nodded, not taking this matter too seriously.

The seaplanes of the "Ise" were temporarily recruited from other fleets. Before that, most of these fighter jets had been in service for more than a year... The seaplanes must land at sea and must not be avoided enough to contact seawater. That is, they often work in high salt, high humidity and high temperature environments. All kinds of equipment will rust and corrode because of this working environment, so these aircraft should have been eliminated or repaired.

However, Japan is focusing all its attention on more combat-capable land-based or carrier-based fighter jets, and does not care about these water fighters that can basically only serve as reconnaissance, and of course they will not be repaired and maintained, so it is normal for some problems to occur now.

What Naoto Ohara didn't know was that this reconnaissance aircraft, which he believed was "a little problem", was actually shot down by a Chinese fighter jet...

Just as the Chinese team's fighter jets were assembled in the air, the display screen of the "Pinghai" radar showed a Japanese reconnaissance aircraft suddenly turned and flew straight towards the Chinese fleet... This water reconnaissance aircraft may have discovered something and wanted to confirm it.

For the Chinese fleet, it was too late to avoid it at this time, and avoiding it may consume a lot of time or even miss the best fighter plane. So Zhang Chi made a quick decision and ordered the enemy plane to be shot down in the shortest time.

So, two "wildcats" fighter jets hid in the clouds and quietly approached the water reconnaissance plane. When it entered the ambush position, they suddenly dived from the air and disintegrated it in the air.

Because the entire action was completed too quickly, it was less than a minute from the start of the Wildcat fighter jet to the target being shot down, so the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft did not even have time to issue a warning.

However, for the reconnaissance unit, it is generally necessary to pay enough attention to it when it loses contact and respond to it in time. This is ignored by Naoto Ohara, which also makes the Japanese army lose its last chance.

Then, all thirty-eight Wildcat fighters on the Pinghai were set off to ambush south of Iwo Jima.

When aircraft carriers fight, they usually do not send all fighters out in one go, because the aircraft carriers themselves also need defense.

But this battle is different... The Japanese army has not yet grasped the position of the Chinese navy and cannot launch an attack. Moreover, even if the Japanese army launches an attack, the Chinese navy is still fearless. The only thing that the Japanese army can launch an attack is the seaplane on the "Ise". With the maneuver and speed of these aircraft, it is impossible to break through the air defense guns of the Chinese team using near-blast fuses. Moreover, Chinese fighter jets can also divide a portion of these seaplanes when necessary.

Therefore, in order to maximize the results of the battle, Zhang Chi sent out all the "wild cats" in one breath.

These thirty-eight "wild cats" are divided into two parts. One part is eleven ambushed at a location fifteen kilometers away from Iwo Jima, and the other part is 20 ambushed at a location seven kilometers away from Iwo Jima.

The fifteen kilometers and seven kilometers are not the distance set in just a slap in the head, but the two locations that can be intercepted based on the distance, speed and route of the Japanese army fleet detected by the radar... The first wave was sent out first because the eighteen fighter jets had been assembled, and they had time to reach the target position and set up an ambush. After the second wave was assembled, they could just arrive at the second target position and start fighting.

On the other hand, the second ambush point is seven kilometers away from Iwo Jima, while the Japanese fleet is about three kilometers away from Iwo Jima. The range of Japanese ship-borne 25mm air defense cannons is about three kilometers. So by arranging the ambush point like this, it is very good to allow Chinese fighter jets to avoid the Japanese air defense cannons and concentrate their efforts to attack the Japanese fighter jets coming to reinforce.

In fact, at this time, the Japanese radar also discovered Chinese fighter jets.

After all, the distance between them is too close, only about fifty kilometers, and Chinese fighter jets are still rushing to their destinations in groups and seizing high places, so they react on the Japanese radar.

But the problem is that the Japanese radar is very primitive, just like what I said before... Similar to the electrocardiogram, something will jump when detected, and it is impossible to tell which direction it is, and it is even more impossible to tell whether it is the enemy or me.
