"All set sail!"

"Battle ready!"

……

The screams of the Japanese are always elongated with a rich tail tone at the end, which sounds quite powerful.

If the Japanese fleet faced Eagle Jiang with this lineup, they would be on the guillotine from the beginning. However, when facing the Eighth Route Army's coastal defense regiment with "Wildcat" fighters, they became more sophisticated and confident.

While ordering the fleet to set sail, Ozawa Jisaburo also reported the situation to Toyoda and Tokyo respectively.

This is Ozawa Jisaburo's embarrassment. He seems to be caught between the fleet commander and Tokyo.

For example, this time, what if Tokyo's order is to fight but Toyota's deputy commander's decision is to "retreat"?

Who should Ozawa listen to?

Fortunately, telegrams were sent from both sides shortly after, ordering Ozawa Jisaburo to "fight"!

This also shows that both of them are very confident in Ozawa's fleet defeating the Eighth Route Army's coastal defense regiment.

It’s no wonder that Ozawa’s fleet is stronger than the Eighth Route Army in terms of destroyers, cruisers and aircraft carriers. Especially among the carrier-based aircraft is the “Gale”, a new type of carrier-based aircraft with a speed of more than 600 kilometers per hour. It has an overwhelming effect on the Eighth Route Army’s “Wildcat” Sexual advantage, who wouldn’t want this victory that comes to their doorstep?

Toyoda Fubu and Tokyo, it is Tokyo that is more eager to win at this time.

Because the Heian Village oil incident had a great impact on Tokyo's prestige.

From the decision-making to the process and even the relocation of the industry, everything was decided by Tokyo. That is to say, it was Tokyo that was deceived, and everyone else, including the Kwantung Army, just obeyed the order.

This is why other commanders, including Umezu Yoshijiro, who directly attacked Heian Village, did not respond.

If Umezu Yoshijiro had any reaction, it would be that he criticized Tokyo: "They are all those guys in Tokyo. They only know how to sit in the office and don't know the situation on the front line. If this battle is not for the forced attack on Heian Village, our army will All the troops are invested in Xinjing, I am afraid that Xinjing will be captured!"

In addition, there are also Toyoda's secret provocation and Sakagaki Seishiro's independent actions during the sea and land cooperation... These all make Tokyo feel that it cannot control the army.

The most important thing is that the island's industry and military forces are being relocated to China through Bangzi at this time. Should they continue or withdraw halfway?

This made Tokyo angry:

"These bastards! They actually used the fact that our army is in urgent need of oil to trick us into being fooled!"

"Where's Yacho Katsu? He's responsible for this!"

Soon Yacho Ke was imprisoned on the charge that he gave false information that there was oil in Heian Village.

In fact, everyone knows that Yacho Ke is just a scapegoat... As a geologist, Yacho Ke cannot directly tell anyone where there is oil. He must at least go to this place to explore.

The reason why Tokyo just imprisoned Yacho Katsu instead of directly shooting him was because he was one of the top geologists in the empire and might be useful!

At this time, Tokyo really needed a victory for the Ozawa fleet under its command to prove its prestige, so it gave the Ozawa fleet its greatest support:

"Our department will immediately send 10 of the latest production 'Wind' fighter jets to Donggang for reinforcements!"

"The fuel and supplies needed by the fleet will be delivered tomorrow!"

"The Army will continue to suppress enemy airports and fully cooperate with your operations!"

……

Ozawa Jisaburo, who received these reinforcements from Tokyo, was a little frightened.

Tokyo's reinforcements, especially in terms of fuel, have always been like squeezing out toothpaste, but now they are actively giving them.

This naturally gave Ozawa Jisaburo a lot of confidence. He said to the chief of staff: "Obayashi-kun, let us give it a try and show the Eighth Route Army the true strength of the imperial fleet!"

"Yes!" Dalin Suexiong responded.

If it were to fight the Eighth Route Army's Coastal Defense Regiment near the coastline, Obayashi Sueio might not have confidence, because the Eighth Route Army has a formidable new type of fighter aircraft.

But now the Eighth Route Army Coastal Defense Regiment sails out of the port and even takes the initiative to go deep into the ocean. It is no different from seeking death!

The communications troops kept reporting the coordinates of the coastal defense regiment, and the distance was approaching two hundred kilometers.

Prior to this, it was basically impossible for the enemy's and our aircraft carriers to approach the two hundred kilometers distance.

Because as early as about [-] kilometers away, carrier-based aircraft and reconnaissance aircraft from both sides were searching for the location of the enemy fleet. Once found, they would send out ship-to-ship battles, ship-to-ship attacks, and ship-to-ship explosions to long-range bombardment of the enemy aircraft carrier.

However, this battle was very strange at a distance of two hundred kilometers. Both sides knew the exact location of the other's fleet, but neither one took the lead in launching an attack.

This is not surprising.

For Ozawa Jisaburo, he knew that the Eighth Route Army fleet was equipped with fast and high-hitting anti-aircraft missiles. If the imperial army attacked rashly, his carrier-based aircraft would likely suffer heavy losses.

As far as the Eighth Route Army Coast Guard Regiment is concerned, their carrier-based aircraft are backward "wildcats", while the Japanese are equipped with unknown new fighter aircraft... A rash attack may also suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, both the enemy and us have a tacit understanding of entering the anti-ship missile range and preparing for a missile war.

After waiting for a while, Ozawa saw that the distance was almost the same, and then loudly ordered: "Prepare the missiles!"

"Missile ready!"

……

The order was passed down loudly, and the Japanese missile pilots who had been prepared rushed to their launcher, and then got into the missile with the help of the ground crew.

In order to ensure the air tightness and structural stability of the "human-operated missiles" used by the Japanese, they could only dig a small hole on the side of the missile, not much larger than a dog hole. The pilot was almost pushed into the cockpit by the ground crew.

After the pilot entered and checked that nothing was needed, the ground crew sealed the entrance from the outside.

Therefore, a simple "missile preparation" almost announced that the lives of these missile pilots were about to end.

Then Ozawa Jisaburo issued two orders in succession:

"The 21st Flying Squadron takes off!"

"The 32nd Squadron, the first team takes off!"

The 21st Flying Team is the Japanese "zero combat" team, with 36 "zero combat" aircraft in one team.

The 32nd Flying Squadron is the Japanese "Gale Wind" squadron. There are only 10 aircraft in total, which is two squadrons plus one detachment.

The first team to take off only took off four "Gale"s.

There was a reason why only four Gales were flown.

The sooner the fighter takes off, the sooner it runs out of fuel, and its stamina will be insufficient when the battle gets intense.

Ozawa Jisaburo hoped that the first batch of four "Gale Winds" would take the lead in a small test, and then when the Eighth Route Army aircraft fleet had already entered the battle, the other six "Gale Winds" would take off with sufficient fuel and ammunition to show their prowess.

From the perspective of aircraft carrier battles alone, this arrangement is reasonable.

It's just that Ozawa Jisaburo didn't expect that his other six "Gale Winds" would never have a chance to take off...
