There is actually another reason why Tokyo was so eager to let Neiji Okamura launch the "Operation No. 4" plan: At this time, Hawk-chan's F[-]F Hellcat fighter jet has already entered service and participated in the battle.

The F4F Hellcat fighter jet was originally put into service in September 43, but now it entered the war a few months earlier.

The reason why it will be several months in advance should be said to be related to Wang Xuexin.

The Hellcat fighter plane in history was finally finalized because Yingjiang captured a "Zero Fighter" in the midway naval battle...

Prior to this, Yingjiang had never known the weakness of "Zero War", and had no direction when designing the fighter, so the research and development of Hellcat fell into a state of stagnation for a while.

As a result, during the naval battle of Midway Island, a Devil's "Zero War" failed and had to make an emergency landing on a deserted island.

The forced landing is fine, because the forced landing does not mean that "Zero War" will fall into Yingjiang's hands. After landing, just light the fuel tank casually to burn "Zero War" to ashes.

The problem is that it happened to land on a ground covered with green moss during the forced landing. When the front wheel of the fighter landed on the ground, it encountered strong resistance from the green moss and instantly lost its balance and turned over a few somersaults.

Even more coincidentally, the pilot died on the spot when he was strangled by several vines when the plane overturned, leaving a fairly complete "Zero Fighter".

Ying Jiang was the winner in this battle, and soon got this "Zero War". In order to find the weakness of "Zero War", they did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to transport this "Zero War" back to the country and completely destroy it. After repairing and carrying out various test flights and air combat experiments, the weakness of the "Zero War" was found and the tactics to deal with the "Zero War" and the targeted Hellcat fighter known as the "Zero War Terminator" were obtained.

But it's different now.

As early as last year, Wang Xuexin told Ying Jiang all the weaknesses of "Zero War".

Although the weaknesses mentioned by Wang Xuexin are "no proof", Yingjiang pilots fought against the devils according to the tactics Wang Xuexin said, and found that these tactics are indeed useful, which is another way to verify that "Zero War" does have these weaknesses. .

Now that the weaknesses of "Zero War" are known, it is not surprising that "Hellcat" can be developed several months in advance.

As for the "Zero Fighter" captured during the Midway Naval Battle, it only further verified that Wang Xuexin's words were correct.

Originally, the admiral of the eagle sauce did not want to reveal that the eagle sauce Hellcat fighter was already in service so early.

Many of Eagle Sauce's commanders, including Doolittle, have such a plan: "We should keep the Hellcat's service secret, and then speed up the replacement of the Wildcat fighters with Hellcats. The crushing situation caused the devils to pay a heavy price!"

The admiral originally thought so, because it was reasonable. This is the suddenness of the battle. The sudden appearance of a large number of Hellcats can psychologically shock the Devils and destroy them in one go.

However, after careful consideration, the admiral believed that it should still enter the war in advance.

"Gentlemen!" said the admiral, "First of all, we have just won the Battle of Midway Island, and the Devils Navy should not make too many moves in the short term. It may take a long time to suddenly use the Hellcat in the sea and air battle. What if it takes half a year, a year, or even longer? Are we going to wait like this forever?" <.

Seeing that the others were silent, the admiral continued: "What's more, at this stage, our army's counterattack is mainly to carry out landing operations against the islands occupied by the devils. In such local battles, we may also encounter the devils' zero battle ’, and when the time comes, do we still have pilots driving Wildcats to face them?”

This point is very convincing.

Because pilots are a precious asset to Yingjiang at this time, when there are "Hellcats" that can crush the devils "Zero War", for the suddenness of battles that will not be known in the future, let the pilots drive " "Wildcat" to take risks, is it worth it?

If one is not careful, it may affect a certain landing operation, and the loss outweighs the gain.

Thinking of this, the commanders agreed with the admiral's point of view.

Finally, the admiral added: "More importantly, the devils already know that we have the 'proximity fuze', and we have received the exact news, so they have shifted their strategic focus to China, and they are already deploying troops to China .But I'm sure they're still hesitating. You know why!"

"Yes!" Doolittle replied, "They think the 'Zero War' is invincible in the air. Although we have proximity fuzes, as long as their 'Zero War' is not close to our warship, they can shoot down it in the air." Anything our military can fly into the sky! And if they can do that, then they can beat our navy with 'big guns' tactics!"

The admiral nodded: "The enemy's combined fleet does have this plan, which is also a very reasonable estimate, so the enemy's combined fleet is not reconciled to failure, which has caused Tokyo to not make up its mind to shift its strategic focus. You understand me mean?"

The commanders nodded.

This is already very clear.

Tokyo is still hesitating. They want to know whether the combined fleet has the ability to change a tactic to defeat the Eagle Sauce Navy.

If so, then they don't need to shift their strategic focus to Huaxia at all.

If not, they have no choice.

The admiral finally concluded: "So, we should put the Hellcat into the battlefield and let the devil know how powerful it is! Immediately!"

So, in the early morning of that day, ten Hellcat fighter planes took off from the aircraft carrier and flew to the devil's "Zero War" patrol route around the island.

Not surprisingly, these ten Hellcat fighters wiped out a patrol team in one fell swoop, with a casualty ratio of zero to five, and one escaped with injuries. How big is the advantage of fighter jets over "Zero War"... Only the devil pilots who have experienced it can tell clearly.

Then, Tokyo was shocked again.

How to fight this battle?

The proximity fuze made it impossible for the imperial fighters to get close to the Yingjiang warship, which almost meant that the Yingjiang warship was immortal, or that the empire would have to pay a heavy price in exchange for the Yingjiang warship.

Eagle Sauce's new type of fighter makes it impossible for Imperial fighters to seize air supremacy... This is fatal for sea and air combat.

Because naval battles are different from land battles, land battles also have terrain that can provide cover so that enemy fighters cannot play their role.

And naval battles... Warships on the sea are like lice on a bald man's head. As long as they seize the air supremacy, the opponent basically has to wait for death.
