"The Japanese aircraft carrier fleet was found in the direction of 0870, with 2 aircraft carriers, 3 battleships, and 10 cruisers. The navigation was southwest. In addition, there were a large number of transport ships following behind. The purpose was temporarily unknown!"

"Please give instructions from the commander!"

A US Navy combat staffer reported to Major General Larfu Eugene Davis.

"First send a search crew and a reconnaissance crew to reconnaissance and search for whether the Japanese army has other fleets nearby, and their fleet strength!"

Major General Davis decisively gave the order.

"Yes! Commander!"

The naval combat staffer replied immediately.

When the 38th Special Mixed Fleet refers to the 58th Special Mixed Fleet commanded by Mark Mitchell.

They are under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Fleet and are responsible for the war against Japan by the Chinese Pacific forces.

Originally, he was ordered to go to the Gilbert Islands, the Battle of Marshall Islands, and to assist the US air raids in the area of ​​Truke Island.

But on the way, I suddenly found that the unknown deputy general Toyota and his command were aircraft carrier fleets.

The fourth battalion of the 58th Special Mixed Fleet, which was originally formed after the establishment of the Fifth Fleet in April 1944, was also formed in advance to deal with the war in the Central Pacific and to confront the Japanese strongholds stationed in Taiwan, especially the airports deployed by the Japanese army at Taiwan, which was even more the focus of their air strikes.

Although it was an aircraft carrier fleet that appeared in advance, the strength of the 38th Special Mixed Fleet has not changed much. It is still composed of 15 aircraft carriers, 7 battleships, more than 20 cruisers and more than 60 destroyers.

It was only discovered that the US fleet of the aircraft carrier fleet of Deputy General Toyota was not the entire 58th Special Mixed Fleet, but the 4th Battalion in the 58th Special Mixed Fleet.

The fourth largest fleet ships are the flagship of the aircraft carrier Franklin Battalion, San Jacinto, Enterprise, and Berlaw Forest aircraft carriers; as well as the 6th Cruiser Detachment, the 6th Destroyer Squadron, and the 24th Destroyer Detachment.

However, the 38th Special Mixed Fleet at this time had not yet immediately set up a special Mixed Fleet, a battleship, cruiser and destroyer.

Instead, let these battleships, cruisers and destroyers freely form their own favorite fleet.

The commander of the 4th Battalion, which commanded the 38th Special Mixed Fleet this time, was Major General Larfu Eugene Davis.

At this time, the 4th Battalion of the US Army was heading at a 260-degree speed, with a speed of 22 knots approaching the aircraft carrier fleet of Toyota Vice General Wu.

At the same time, while sailing in the wind, 30 "Hell Diver" SB2C-3 were dispatched to conduct comprehensive reconnaissance in the area where Toyota Vice General Wu's aircraft carrier was located.

These "Hell Diver" SB2C-3, which were carrying two armor-piercing bombs of more than 220 kilograms, took off under the escort of 20 F6F Hellcat fighters carrying rockets.

At the same time, it can be used on aircraft carriers, and can also be installed to accommodate the SC Seahawk reconnaissance aircraft used on cruisers and battleships, as well as the single-engine, all-aluminum alloy, and low-main wings of the US P-43 "Lavender" reconnaissance aircraft, each taking off 15 aircraft to conduct reconnaissance.

In this regard, the aircraft carrier fleet of Deputy General Toyota is still in the dark and is unaware of it.

Of course, the aircraft carriers commanded by Deputy General Takeda Toyota are not Japan's four aircraft carriers that were sunk by the US military on Midway Island.

Instead, the Flying Eagle and the Big Eagle aircraft carrier drawn from 14 aircraft carriers including the Jon Eagle, the Dafeng, the Shochi, the Flying Eagle, the Big Eagle, the Yunying, the Ruihe, the Falcon, the Falcon, the Chishoda, the Chiyoda, the Shinobi, the Condor, the Yunlong, and the Big Eagle aircraft carrier.

The Flying Eagle aircraft carrier is a modified ship transformed from a merchant ship, so its speed and armored parts cannot be compared with regular warships.

The Ohawk escort aircraft carrier was also converted from the "Harukamimaru" cruise ship of the Mitsubishi Nagasaki factory, so its combat effectiveness is not good.

In fact, Deputy General Toyota did not want to command these two aircraft carriers, but because most of the elite aircraft carrier fleets were deployed to the Pacific battles that are currently in the process of US troops.

Or in other words, many Japanese aircraft carrier fleets try to avoid the pursuit and ambush of the US aircraft carrier fleet.

Because Japan has too few resources, it is impossible to fight against the US military with rich and powerful industrial capabilities to fight the aircraft carrier.
