The second batch of US carrier-based attack aircraft has entered the radar monitoring range of the Japanese Navy.

But because there are too many planes fighting in the sky, the Japanese Navy's radar screen is busy everywhere.

However, Major Nakamura still felt that he should report on the second batch of American carrier-based aircraft that may appear.

He was just promoted to the Major of the Inspector Department. He was rewarded with good performance one hour ago.

At this moment, he was planning to show off again to make himself a more deserving of his position as a major.

"The reaction on the radar screen is a bit abnormal, so I think it may be the US Navy's carrier-based aircraft! The second batch of carrier-based aircraft!" Nakamura looked at his captain and carefully considered his words.

After all, the last time he was sure to discover an American plane, and the radar performance this time was not stable, so he could not determine whether his discovery was true.

However, for the senior commanders of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet, they would rather believe in the enemy's carrier-based aircraft than invisible.

It is precisely because of this that the captain of the battleship Muao, who received the report, immediately reported the news to the flagship.

On the bridge of the Nagato battleship, before Yamamoto Irojuku breathed a sigh of relief to intercept the US Navy's carrier-based aircraft that had successfully attacked, he waited for news that the second batch of US carrier-based aircraft might have arrived.

This news made him realize a serious problem: he was preparing to standby the attack aircraft.

If at this time, the deck of the First Air Fleet was filled with torpedo attack aircraft, wouldn’t it be impossible to take off the fighter planes to intercept the opponent?

Thinking of this, Yamamoto Iroku realized that he might have made a serious mistake: "Baga! Call Natsuyuki immediately! Hurry up! Get him ready!"

The news did not stop and was sent directly to the bridge of Tadaichi Nagamo's flagship Akagi aircraft carrier.

Nagashikazuichi, who received this news, was first grateful because his attack aircraft had been retracted into the hangar and did not stay on the deck and standby.

But then he couldn't laugh or cry. Although there was no carrier-based attack aircraft with bullets on standby, the plane could not take off on his deck at this moment...

Because, his deck is now full of returning carrier-based attack aircraft, and Zero fighter jets that run out of ammunition!

If these planes take off to face the American planes, the Japanese fleet must do a lot of preparations!

First, these aircraft must be pushed back to the stern landing deck area. Because the bow is the take-off runway, it is impossible for the aircraft carrier to take off the aircraft at the stern.

Because the aircraft carrier takes off aircraft to sail at high speed against the wind, it is obvious that the speed of reverse in the wind is not enough.

Another reason is that the rear of the aircraft carrier deck has a landing block, and it is not removed, which will also affect the aircraft's takeoff.

Therefore, when the aircraft carrier takes off, all the aircraft on the deck are stacked at the tail of the ship, and the front is empty for the aircraft to run and taxi.

Second, Nagashima Takaichi Nagamoto had to fill these planes with fuel and load ammunition. After all, these planes had exhausted ammunition and fuel returned.

It is a pity that whether it is refueling fuel or loading ammunition, it is undoubtedly a major project for aircraft in the World War II era.

Of course, the ground maintenance work of modern fighter jets is more complicated and takes longer. Some third-generation and fourth-generation aircraft have even made key improvements in this regard.

After these things were done, Tadichi Nagamoto could get these planes to fly, but at that time, American planes had probably returned.

Now what is facing Nagashima Takaichi is not "how to choose", but the more serious "no choice".

He could not take off the plane to face the second wave of attacks from the United States, so he could only call Yamamoto Izuru helplessly and describe his embarrassment.

"Tele to the Marshal! Our fleet can no longer take off the plane, so we can only carry out ship air defense operations!" He said helplessly in the message.

Yamamoto Iroku, who received the telegram, looked pale. If something happened to his aircraft carrier fleet, then he, the commander of the joint fleet, would probably resign and apologize.

Although it is not as good as a septum, the current situation is indeed not optimistic. With German intelligence and technical help, he can't handle the US fleet, which makes him feel very stressed.

The possible pre-war response of the United States is now failing one after another, which on the other hand has also increased the pressure on Yamamoto.

You should know that before the war between Japan and the United States began, the Japanese official estimate was the most optimistic that some people even believed that after the successful attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States would compromise and surrender because of the complete defeat of the fleet.

Not very optimistic, and they also believe that as long as the Hawaiian Islands are captured, the troops enter Marshall and the Solomon Islands, the United States will withdraw from the war and remain neutral.

This is the same as before Germany's Soviet-German War, when Li Le and his generals judged that as long as Moscow was captured, the Soviet Union would withdraw from the war.

However, Li Le's optimistic estimate failed, and the Soviet-German War has not ended until now. Although Germany still has an absolute advantage in the situation, it is an indisputable fact that it has strategically deviated from the German senior management's judgment.

The same is true for Japan. Their strategic judgment failed. After the fall of Hawaii, the United States had no intention of compromise at all, but mobilized it, with a tendency to carry out the war to the end.

What's even more terrifying is that the United States' mobilization ability is amazing and the Japanese army can no longer bear it. It can be seen from the four Sangamon-class modified aircraft carriers launched by the United States that the United States' industrial heritage exceeds the imagination of the Japanese senior management.

In just four months, the US military has the ability to build another fleet. If the war drags on for a year, will the United States have ten times more warships?

Once the question was raised, Yamamoto Iroru sighed in his mind that Germany did not drag the United States in the Atlantic Ocean, and Japan alone could not shake the United States, the chosen country.

Iroku Yamamoto couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he remembered that Japan joined the Axis powers and was flatly rejected by Germany.

If Germany could contain this American fleet on the east coast of the United States, the Japanese Navy could reach the west coast of the United States! If this is true, the United States would inevitably surrender.
