The campaign was planned and prepared for only two days. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The reason why it was only planned and prepared for two days was that it was impossible to obtain further information about the Japanese troops stationed in Taiwan.

Regarding this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but scold Principal Jiang fiercely in his heart...... You must know that most of Taiwan are Chinese, as long as President Jiang has a little foresight and thought, he can organize an underground intelligence network in Taiwan to prepare for intelligence, but President Jiang did not do this.

Obviously, this is because President Chiang does not think that there will be any value in collecting intelligence in Taiwan, or it can also be said that President Chiang does not think that he will be able to fight back one day in the future, so he completely gave up on it.

But then again, even if Principal Jiang provided any information, Zhang Chi would not dare to use it...... Zhang Chi still remembers the large number of outdated maps and outrageously wrong information in the hands of the national army troops on the battlefield in Burma, believing that this information will only lead the troops into the pit.

As a result, all Zhang Chi could get was a few photos taken by the US military reconnaissance planes when they approached the island of Taiwan, and because the strength of the Japanese troops in Taiwan was not weak, these reconnaissance planes could only be taken from a distance.

From this, Zhang Chi knew that only US pilots guessed that the Japanese army had air bases in Hsinchu and Taipei based on the arrival time and direction of the Japanese fighters.

This is simply a kind of irony for Zhang Chi.

Because there is not much information in hand, and the purpose of this campaign is only to destroy the Japanese air power in Taiwan, in fact, the more important reason is that the Chinese army already has "Hellcat" fighters and "Fletcher"-class destroyers at this time, and the main force of the Japanese combined fleet is being dragged by the US military in the Philippines, so Zhang Chi judged that the Chinese fleet has the ability to fight the Japanese army.

On the third day, Zhang Chi set off with the fleet.

It is much simpler without landing operations, and there is no need to bring any transport ships, troops, Higgins ships, Donald Ducks, etc...... Even warships, aircraft carriers full of aircraft, and a few supply ships that Halsey pulled out on the fly.

Of course, the fleet didn't just go straight to TW with such a frizzy face...... After all, Iwo Jima is very close to Okinawa Island in Japan, and even some small islands around Iwo Jima may have Japanese scouts, so the movements of the Chinese fleet must be assumed that the Japanese will understand.

Therefore, in order to achieve the suddenness of the battle, the fleet's course first was Luzon Island in the Philippines, and the posture of reinforcing the US military to fight in the Philippines was assumed, and even the Chinese fleet and the US military jointly launched a large-scale bombing of Luzon Island.

Then, after nightfall, without the knowledge of the Japanese army, they rushed to the sea north of Taiwan.

As soon as the sky was dark, with Zhang Chi's order, the fighters and bombardment on the two aircraft carriers poured out...... Since this operation was aimed at the Japanese air power, the fighters of the "Pinghai" and "Solomon" were all fighters and bombers.

On the other hand, because Zhang Chi was confident enough in the air defense capability of the fleet, only 12 spare fighters were left to patrol around the fleet (the carrying capacity of the "Pinghai" aircraft carrier was 72 plus 12 spare), and the remaining 93 aircraft flocked to Taipei and Hsinchu in two batches.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Junhua reported to Zhang Chi: "The radar of the division seat has detected that the enemy aircraft group is coming from Taipei and Hsinchu to meet the attack...... 100 and 130 sorties, respectively! ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this.

This is not because the Japanese army will take off the fighter planes and meet them so quickly, Zhang Chi is not surprised by this, after all, Taiwan is not far from the Philippines, and the United States and Japan are fighting in the direction of the Philippines, and the Japanese army in Taiwan will of course remain vigilant and even participate in the reinforcement of the Philippines in the war against the United States.

So, Zhang Chi's estimate is...... Although this battle was able to catch the Japanese army by surprise strategically, it was difficult to achieve the effect of a surprise attack in tactics.

What Zhang Chi didn't expect was that the Japanese army would have so many fighters in Taiwan, and the first batch of more than 200 fighters was dispatched to meet the battle.

What Zhang Chi didn't know was that in fact, the movements of the Chinese fleet were discovered by a Japanese submarine last night, and the information was quickly transferred to Vice Admiral Furushi, commander of the Japanese Second Air Fleet, who was in command in Taiwan.

Speaking of this Japanese Second Air Fleet...... In fact, after a large number of losses in the Japanese air force, the carrier-based flight unit was no longer able to form combat effectiveness, and the Japanese army decided to integrate the land-based air force and the naval air force under the unified command of the navy, so the second air fleet was reorganized.

When Fu Liufan heard the news, he couldn't help but ask the staff officer with some surprise: "Are you sure it's the Chinese's fleet?" ”

"Sure!" Staff Officer Fukuhara replied: "Because ...... That's the 'Shohe'! ”

"Hmm!" Furufan was silent, and after a while, he replied, "What do they want to do?" Attack Taiwan?! ”

"I don't think so!" The staff officer replied: "We have reconnoitred very clearly, there are only a dozen warships!" There are no other ships, that is...... They have no intention of landing! ”

Fu Liufan nodded and said, "Then there is only one possibility, and that is to bomb our airfield......"

As he spoke, Fu Liufan pointed to the location of the Chinese fleet on the map and said, "This is exactly in the middle of Taipei Airport and Hsinchu Airport...... The American ghost beasts may be annoyed by the harassment of our fighters, so they send the Chinese fleet to destroy our air power! ”

If Zhang Chi heard these words, he might have been surprised...... Every move of the Chinese fleet was in the eyes of the Japanese army, and even the strategic intentions were expected by the Japanese army.

Generally speaking, if even the enemy's strategic intentions are expected, then this battle is basically impossible to fight, because the enemy can easily set a trap and wait for the Chinese troops to jump down.

However, the problem is that it is very difficult to set traps in air combat, especially since the Japanese radar is still very backward, and it is basically impossible to detect the flight path and altitude of the enemy's aircraft group, so it is impossible to set traps.

Friyushi also considered concentrating a large number of air defense forces on airfields, but it was also difficult to do this...... The time is too short, and it is quite possible that the enemy will attack at dawn, and now it is only a few hours before dawn.

How many air defense units can be gathered in a few hours? Moreover, the hit rate of Japanese anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns was very low, and even if they were prepared, they could not shoot down several enemy fighters.

In other words, Furushi was faced with a dilemma of knowing that the enemy was about to attack, but he could not set up an ambush because of his unsatisfactory equipment.

On the other hand, Fu Liufan didn't want to lose this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

So, in his mind, he conceived a plan that he would regret later!
