Chapter 66 The Bright Wound
"It seems that the navy has been hit hard, and there are so many Americans, enough for them to drink a pot!"
At night, when the sea breeze took away the heat brought by the sun during the day, the temperature on the beach became cooler. Gradually, the North Korean and Malaysian soldiers had been sorted out from the daytime landing battle, and they were huddled in their own fox pits and chatting in a low voice.
Eating field rations and listening to the calls of the pilots coming from the walkie-talkie. Although most of these pilots spoke Japanese, they could also hear the urgency of the battle from their tone.
Just as the infantry were listening to the sound of the walker, someone appeared at the edge of their pit. Although it was nighttime, the dark shadows on the beach were also the targets that the US snipers liked. Almost everyone was just crawling on the beach when they moved. So if the head was stuck in, if they didn't speak, it would make people misunderstand that it was just a stone on the edge of the pit.
"Be careful, the Iron Beetle will transport a batch of infantry in about an hour, and we will also be supported by the air firepower of the Japanese fleet and the Batavian fleet. We will take the airport tonight!"
"These damn..."
The soldiers' hopes were shattered in an instant by the officer's orders, and the field rations in their hands were thrown aside. Others began to organize their weapons. For them, the best way to end the battle was to complete their mission as soon as possible.
Yes, the first Japanese Navy Fleet sent a large number of razor rotor attack aircraft, which would provide more intense air firepower for subsequent landings. At night, such attack aircraft will be more effective than those fixed-wing fighters.
The Batavian landing fleet will also send a considerable number of razor rotor attack aircraft. However, their mission is not to conduct ground attacks, but to place more attack teams into the depths of US military defense.
This was not what Nakamoto Tadaichi finally remembered, their purpose of fighting here. Instead, it was the counterattack launched by the US military's fierce air offensive. During this battle, he requested a powerful soldier, the Seraph-Saravor piston-type combat attack aircraft loaded on the flagship of the Batavia landing fleet.
Tadichi Nagamoto learned from the daytime battle situation that the fighter troops of the Batavian fleet had even surpassed the fighter jets of the Feidi-z fighter jets in Japanese carrier-based aircraft.
"Is Batavia's fighter pilots so elite?"
With this question, he sent a large number of razor rotor attack aircraft to assist the snatching troops to attack Midway Island in exchange for reinforcements from the Batavian seraph, the Sarav Piston Fighting Attack Aircraft.
At the same time, the battle between the Japanese Navy and the US Navy has caused a chaotic appearance in the waters where the Japanese Navy is located.
In the sky, groups of "silkworm-type missiles" dragged flames across the sky, attracting air defense warships to dense ammunition like heavy rain. "Paving stone" TV-guided bombs, which were as black as the night, took advantage of the dark wind and like ghosts, quietly rushed towards their respective targets.
There is no better defense for this silent ammunition in flight. The radar cannot identify such small aircraft-like gliding bombs in the dark night when the ammunition flies. Searchlights can only discover them at very close distances, but there is not much attack time left for them at that time.
"We can't be beaten like this. We have to find ways to stop those gliding bombs. At the same time, we have to fight back, otherwise we will probably lose all the warships of our First Fleet... Let's send Batavia Flying Team to stop the bombers' attacks, hoping that they can do as well as they do during the day!"
With his decision, Seraph's Piston Fighting Attack Plane began to run towards the heavy bomber group that the US military came from Pearl Harbor. Compared with the Thunder Eagle bomber with a smaller bomb load on the US Navy aircraft carrier, these heavy bombers that brought a large number of guided bombs were the biggest threat.
Faced with this silent gliding attack ammunition, only attacking its vehicles is the only correct way to prevent them from performing huge damage. As the attack on the Seraph Piston Fighter, the Seraph Piston Fighter, also under the protection of the Japanese Zero Fighter and the Feidi-z Fighter, attacked the aircraft carrier formation on the surface of the US Navy.
Although the air fleet that the US Navy has been parked in the air brings more threats, the huge number of fighter jets carried by surface ships is the real means that the US Navy can use to attack. I believe that without them, what the US Navy's air fleet can do is just to carry out some small harassment operations like during the day.
When Hawkeye - reconnaissance/command airships on both sides were already protected by heavy protection and appeared at the nearest edge of the battlefield, there were almost no secrets in tactical operations on the battlefield. Just when the Japanese attack aircraft group was dispatched, the information had been passed to Major General William Frederick Halsey's eyes.
"Tell Franker, I'm afraid those Japanese will attack the surface fleet. At the same time, our fighters should be transferred to Major General Fletcher as much as possible in addition to strengthening patrols. Tonight, the surface ships will be under the heaviest pressure."
But just as he spoke, the heavy bomber group consisting of the b-1 Albatross heavy bomber and the b24 Liberator bomber from Pearl Harbor had been attacked by the fighter squadron sent by the Batavian fleet.
And before that, they had just achieved the greatest results.
Similar to usual combat, when it is protected by one of its own fighters and without enemy fighters, the attack operations of heavy bombers are quite easy. Especially when equipped with "silksaw missiles" and "paving stone" TV-guided bombs, the work of the bomber group is even more relaxed.
The attacks launched by the heavy bomber group were launched almost at the same time as the attacks of the US Navy. Under the cover of night, a large number of "silk-type missiles" arrived at the position of the Japanese Navy's First Fleet from multiple directions with the attacking "Thunder Eagle" bombers.
In this war, we have seen too many such scenes. Using missiles to conduct saturated attacks is probably only possible for wealthy American imperialism.
But these have long been expected by the Japanese Navy's First Fleet, fighter jets, anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft rockets and smoke, which provided good defense for the Japanese Navy fleet. Although warships were inevitably hit, they finally survived.
But what makes the Japanese people the most headache are those "paving stone" TV guided bombs made of silent materials and wood, like a small glider. Especially when these little guys approach the target and turn off their small engines, they become real ghosts in the night.

As the protector of the aircraft carrier formation, it has installed more air defense devices, air search and artillery control radars. This allows it to perfectly fight against other warships, while also providing sufficient air defense for aircraft carriers.
"Did you see it... I am the instructor of the No. 18 aircraft, and I aimed at a large warship..."
The call from the attack guide spread throughout the entire bomber group. Some guides of other fighter planes flying in the air and followed him in an agreement and quietly launched an attack on the Fusang battleship in the night sky.
The huge searchlight on the battleship Fuso made it like a giant carrying a sharp sword. If it had not been for its heavy body invisible to its actions, it would have launched an impact on the heavens.
"boom……"
The first "Paving Stone" TV-guided bomb dived quietly, avoiding all reconnaissance methods, including gun-aiding radar and searchlights, and accurately hit the deck area near the turret of the Fusang battleship.
As guides of the navy's heavy bomber, they knew clearly that although the turrets of warships are closely protected, if they can hit the deck area near the turret of the battleship, it is easy to cause shells to explode. This is more favored by attack guides than to strike other places of the battleships.
Unfortunately, the transformation of the Japanese naval warships was partially helped by the Chinese Federation. The reignited ammunition loading mechanism of the battleship was far greater than the US Navy's estimates. The entire ammunition depot and ammunition delivery mechanism were protected by tight armor and more special technologies.
The attacked system opened some explosion-proof doors at the moment the bomb exploded. The fiery hot gas was discharged to other places along these passages, thereby reducing the damage to the warships.
Unfortunately, the guide of the "Paving Stone" TV guided bomb has already informed the entire heavy bomber fleet. Therefore, the huge crack with flames is as bright as a light bulb that calls for mosquitoes in summer.
A series of "paving stone" TV-guided bombs, guided by attack guides from the heavy bomber group from Pearl Harbor, rushed to the bright wound on the battleship in groups.
"Boom boom boom..."
