"Naval battles are not won by the cannons of giant ships alone! Back then, the equipment of the Beiyang Naval Division was stronger than that of our empire, wasn't it the same defeat by us? After that, the Russian Pacific Fleet, which was also stronger than the Reich, was defeated by us. Courage and ability are the invincible strength of the empire! Deputy Toyoda shouted with a straight face.

In the control tower of the aircraft carrier Kaga, the commanders of the Japanese ships sat straight on both sides, but most of them had heavy expressions on their faces.

The technical characteristics of the navy made it impossible for the admirals of the Japanese navy, who had accepted more of Western civilization, to bring their intelligence to the level of those fanatical youths because of Hirohito's instructions. They still have a general understanding of the next confrontation with the Huaxia Navy.

The Japanese, after the general conquest order, looked like they had put together 2 battleships and 2 aircraft carriers and 4 cruisers, but in fact there was a lot of water.

The more than 30,000-ton Fuso battleship is already an old battleship of World War I, and after three transformations, its performance is still inferior to that of mainstream battleships.

It was incorporated into the reserve fleet in 38 and was mainly responsible for the training of officers and men, and had been away from the battlefield for a long time.

In view of the threat posed by the Huaxia Navy in the Whale Sea, and feeling that the Huaxia Navy was still at the level of novices, the Japanese focused on the training of officers and soldiers and the training of cadets in the Whale Sea.

Thanks to this arrangement, it was possible to find several capital ships from the training ground after the main battleships defending the Whale Sea ran to support Kyushu Island and Hokkaido.

Another battleship was also tasked with part of the training.

After the battleship Kongo escaped under the Pioneer cannon, not only the remaining crew members on top had a collective nervous breakdown, but the entire hull was also severely damaged and almost scrapped.

After a lot of repairs, there are still some hidden dangers in the structure, and it may even be able to sink into the sea by a big storm. Therefore, after returning to service, he only cruised in the coastal waters of Japan, and did not dare to go far again. Finally, after a large number of Nagato-class and Yamato-class classes entered service, they also belonged to the reserve fleet and were often used for training purposes.

There were quite a few recruits on both battleships. There are also quite a few students.

Although the Japanese were confident that the level of their strictly selected recruits and cadets was better than that of the regular Chinese navy, they did not have much confidence in the performance of their warships.

Even if the naval forces that Huaxia had put into the vicinity of Wakasa Bay were not detected, it was at least identified that there were 2 battleships and 2 aircraft carriers.

The battleships against Huaxia were a matter of Fuso and Kongo, but as far as Japanese intelligence knew, Huaxia's battleships were either Zhenyuan-class or Dream-class, where was there a weak one?

I heard that the fantasy class similar to the Yamato class and the fantasy class similar to the H class produced by the copycat company are not as good as the strongest dream class equipped with a 500 mm caliber cannon, and even in that Anglo-German naval battle at Cape Roca. The performance of the fantasy class is far inferior to that of the town far class.

Not even the Yamato-class, relying on the old World War I battleships such as Fuso and King Kong to fight, it is far from good, and even 2 against 1, it is reluctant.

"We still have aircraft carriers! There is also the Kaga number. A Japanese officer said unwillingly.

Since the Kaga was beaten by Huaxia and almost sank, and after dragging the remnants back to the mainland, the tinkering can finally get out of the customs. If it weren't for the emergency needs of the front, the badly damaged Kaga would have to stay at the Kawasaki shipyard in Kobe for a while.

The refurbished Kaga is still in the trial period, and by the way, it was arranged near Sado Island and Niigata. Escort and supervise the gold produced on Sado Island and arrange for the Golden Lily Project to be joined.

Now that the situation is in crisis, it has also been drawn out to deal with the Huaxia Navy.

After a series of modifications, the Kaga is on. Both the equipment and the officers and men are the most formal of these warships. Although the number of carrier-based aircraft carried on it is small, they are all new fighters such as Gale, Tianshan, and Comet.

For these new fighters, the Japanese Navy has sent a team of instructors and officers composed of ace elites, and even the cadets above are the best who have come out of the ranks of rookies.

The Japanese put so much effort into preparing to use the Resurrection Kaga to cope with the current crisis of the shortage of aircraft carriers in the Japanese. The Japanese also gave great hope to the main force of the aircraft carrier at the time, and at this time it became the greatest hope of the Japanese to resolve the crisis in Wakasa Bay.

As for the other aircraft carrier, the Sea Hawk, after being converted from a transport ship to an aircraft carrier, it has been tasked with training and transportation. Most of the trainees above are also rookies and can't be used as real warships.

And it will also face the challenge of the Huaxia aircraft carrier.

Although the Japanese Navy vigorously belittled the Huaxia Navy, and even after Huaxia won the Battle of the East China Sea, it still looked down on Huaxia's aircraft carriers, but the Huaxia Air Force was strong. It still worries the Japanese.

The air forces that rushed to the rescue from nearby did not gain the upper hand in Wakasa Bay.

You must know that after the bombing raid from China, the Japanese interceptor fighters in the air on the mainland are not comparable to those rookies. The air power, which mainly relies on the strength of aircraft carriers, shows that the strength of Huaxia HNA should not be underestimated.

None of these four leading warships were cheap compared to the Chinese, not to mention that the four Japanese cruisers had to fight against the large cruisers in the area around Wakasa Bay, which were said to have more than seven.

The number of destroyers is also not comparable to that of the Chinese. Other small warships were not even enough for the Chinese destroyers to sweep.

As for the civilian ships that have been mobilized by the whole people, they are purely cannon fodder, and they can only hope for a miracle.

After careful comparison, the commanders of the Japanese Navy also had no confidence in their hearts to win.

"Any miracle can happen in a naval battle, it only takes one torpedo to change everything! The navy of the Chinese people in front of us is only at the level of schoolchildren at most, do you want to watch this group of novices show off their might in front of the imperial banner of honor? Deputy Toyoda glanced at the people with melancholy faces and couldn't help but shout again.

"Be loyal to the empire, and don't hesitate to break jade!" The commander responded with great interest, which caused everyone to shout.

Vice Takeshi Toyoda nodded with satisfaction and said, "In this battle, it is not yet known who will kill the deer!" We also have a secret weapon! ”

……

"Discover the group of fighters of the Japanese brigade! More than 100 of them! The Qi Jiguang Kirov airship, which was at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, had already discovered another air counterattack by the Japanese and immediately alerted the Huaxia Navy, which was preparing to deal with the Japanese reinforcement naval fleet.

"Get ready for battle!" Chen Guan, who was in charge of the commander-in-chief this time, immediately issued various orders on the third class dreadnought-class battleship.

The F-2 Banshee reconnaissance planes on the Midway-class aircraft carrier Tarzan took off first to reconnoiter more specific intelligence, fuel and bombs began to be unloaded from the elevators, and one after another pirates and hellcats were also ready to take off, and from time to time fighters took off, enhancing and replacing the overall strength of the fighter formations in the air escort.

"Enemy aircraft formations have been spotted, new enemy fighters have been spotted!" The Banshee Scout Plane soon arrived.

The Banshee reconnaissance aircraft is based on the F-1 Fury carrier-based fighter, which is already a standard jet fighter, and the F-2 itself is also an extremely powerful carrier-based bomber, with good combat capabilities and extremely fast speed. As soon as they touched the Japanese fighter group, they left behind the oncoming Japanese Caiyun reconnaissance planes and rushed to the front of the Japanese fighter formation.

Although the Banshee reconnaissance aircraft has not yet exceeded the speed of sound, the speed is beyond the reach of the Japanese fighters. Pilot Liu Chunhai ignored the fire snake swept away by the Caiyun reconnaissance plane that followed him unconvinced by the rear, but focused on observing the specific number of Japanese fighters in the queue and the more than 30 new fighters newly assigned.

Liu Chunhai's mind constantly swept over the various fighter models of the Japanese, with the manufacture of the base, not to mention pictures, even if there is no shortage of physical fighters, as a scout who is familiar with various types of fighters, he is very confident in his memory, and after every battle, all kinds of abnormalities that appear in the battle summary are also known to an excellent air scout. He finally confirmed that the new fighter was the first to appear.

But he still matched up with a picture in his mind.

"It's very similar to the purple electric reform being developed by the Japanese!" With a slight hesitation, he passed on his judgment.

Meng Xiang didn't want to be too eye-catching. Some of the secret weapons of the Japanese are shocking enough to produce some photo models normally, so the purple electric fighter has not yet been revealed, at most in the weapons research institute and the high-level training ground, Liu Chunhai's level can only see photos and some text and picture materials, from a distance, it is not very certain.

"It's clearer if you get closer!" Unwillingly, he approached again.

But then 2 fighters rushed out of the formation and came straight at him.

When their 8 20 cannons fired together and made holes in the wings of the banshee, Liu Chunhai finally judged that this was the purple electric change on the fighter plane that vaguely looked like a purple electric 11.

"It is very likely that the enemy's new fighter is a purple electric fighter." Liu Chunhai reported while pulling up the fighter plane and detaching from afterburner.

The scout can use his judgment as a reference so that the information cannot be conveyed in time and delay the fighter, but he cannot make the final judgment so as not to mislead the commander's judgment. The photographic function of the reconnaissance planes is sufficient to record the images of these new fighters, and when they go back, naturally there will be professionals who will carefully compare them and make a final judgment.

"Watch out for enemy aircraft, they're fast!" A staff officer on the other side also knew some data on the purple electric reform, and couldn't help but be concerned.

"Enemy planes are already behind me. None of them could catch up with me! Liu Chunhai glanced sideways at Caiyun and Zidiangai, who were desperately chasing behind him, and couldn't help laughing.
