This is not because Nakayama made such a deal, because until now, he has not received a reconnaissance report on the exact location of the US aircraft carrier fleet when the attack aircraft unit needs to take off, and no one can confirm it!

Since there is no accurate information about when the attack aircraft troops will take off, it is natural to prioritize the arrangement of the aircraft cluster without fuel.

At the command of the aviation fleet, the decks of the three Japanese aircraft carriers suddenly became busy.

On the Akagi aircraft carrier, Japanese ground crew members wearing white work clothes began to push the bomb-mounted ship 99 and the torpedo-mounted ship 97 from the deck.

"Be careful! Be careful! Be careful! Be careful! Yes! The plane on the elevator must be fixed!" The officer in charge of dispatching loudly reminded his subordinates to pay attention to safety.

After all, aircraft carrying bomb torpedoes are fragile and dangerous. Careful treatment must be done to ensure that they are properly placed.

Because a large number of carrier-based aircraft were sent out or lost, the internal space of the hangar of the Japanese aircraft carrier warship was very abundant.

Therefore, for simplicity, the ground crew directly recycled the on-site plane into the hangar. Unfortunately, there were too many on-site planes and could not be all placed in a while.

In the distance, 22 Japanese planes, which had exhausted ammunition and were about to run out of fuel, had entered the field of view, and the entire aircraft carrier fleet was in chaos.

On the command tower, the Japanese dispatching officer repeated the radio intercom over and over again, allowing the plane waiting to land in the sky to hold on for a while.

On the deck, the ground crew, who had been urged countless times, continued to move the plane on the deck as quickly as possible under the urging of the commander.

I wish I could use it alone as a few people. No matter how hard the ground staff cursed in their hearts, they were still trying hard to complete the tasks in their hands.

In the eyes of the Japanese military, logistics soldiers are not considered soldiers. In the minds of Japanese senior management, these logistics personnel are definitely not as important as pilots.

This is also a wrong theory developed by small countries in Japan with limited resources and are forced to develop. It is not that Japan does not attach importance to logistics, but that they cannot rely on logistics to decide the outcome like big countries.

Once the outcome of the war is bet on logistics and resources, a small country like Japan will undoubtedly lose.

Therefore, what Japan values ​​is more about quick victory. What they pretend to be in their minds is relying on the courage and ferocity of the frontline soldiers to solve the decisive thinking of gaining an advantage as soon as possible.

"Baga! Hurry up! Our brave pilots have returned! If the deck is not cleared, how can they land?" The commander pressed his command knife, opened his eyes wide open, and scolded the ground crew fiercely.

He didn't know that, less than half an hour ago, following the orders of Marshal Isojiro Yamamoto, the ground crew members in front of him had just prepared the commissioning of these planes.

The soldiers had just hung the bomb and torpedo under the plane, and received an order from the fleet commander to push the plane back into the hangar.

The Akagi aircraft carrier only has three elevators in total, and when all of them are used, they can only transport three aircraft back to the hangar at a time.

Similarly, you can only send three planes in the walkie-talkie hangar to the deck at a time. Now it is not the speed of the ground crew members who restrict the speed of cleaning the deck, but the speed of these elevators.

Seeing the 22 Japanese carrier-based aircraft in the distance approaching, the radio channel was filled with desperate calls for help.

Zero fighters are slightly better. The Type 97 carrier-based attack aircraft and Type 99 carrier-based bombers that are mounted with bombs and torpedoes are about to run out of fuel.

The pilot asked to land on the radio with a crying voice. They had seen their aircraft carrier for the rest of their lives, but they could not land. Only they knew what they felt in their hearts.

Finally, the Akagi aircraft carrier relied on its long enough deck to finally clean up the deck at the rear.

Some carrier-based aircraft that were not too late to transport back to the warehouse were also pushed to the bow deck by ground crew members and moved out of the landing runway on the rear deck.

A 97 ship landed first. Amid the cheers of ground crew members, the plane hung up a blocking lock and stopped in the center of the deck.

Without too much thought, the Japanese ground crew, who were already very tired, rushed up and pushed the plane to the reserved position of the bow at the fastest speed.

The planes behind must be moved out of the landing runway as soon as possible to allow all planes to land safely.

In the distant sky, American carrier-based aircraft were fleeing in the sky, and Zero fighters were desperately intercepting these American aircraft, preventing them from getting close to the Japanese fleet.

From time to time in the sky, American planes dragged long black smoke toward the sea. On the busy Japanese aircraft carrier here, no one cared about the battle in the sky.

The second plane landed down, and the battle-hardened pilot was very skillful and parked the plane on the deck.

These Japanese pilots are well-trained and have rich combat experience, and are the most elite strike forces of the Japanese Navy. They are familiar with aircraft carrier takeoff and landing, so they have almost no time wasted.

There were fewer and fewer Japanese planes hovering in the sky, but more and more planes were stacked on the deck. When everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a Japanese 97 ship lost its power and fell to the sea.

After all, it was a little late. The remaining three Japanese planes had run out of fuel. They could no longer land on the deck of the aircraft carrier and could only land on the sea under everyone's attention.

Even if he was unwilling to do so, Tadaichi Nagashi still lost three more planes. For him now, it seems that every plane is a valuable combat power that cannot be easily abandoned.

"Baga... was still one step slower after all." Looking at the Japanese plane that was forcibly landing on the sea in the distance, Tadashi Nagai complained in pain.

It is already a blessing to be able to rescue 19 aircraft. If Tadichi Nagamoto did not change Yamamoto Iroku's order, all these aircraft would be lost.

Unfortunately, it is not the time to breathe a sigh of relief, because the Zero fighter jets that intercepted the B-25 have returned, and they have to land to replenish ammunition and oil.

Although this time is not urgent, the deck is now full of planes, so I still have to move some planes into the hangar.
