With just the first wave of attacks, the Japanese fleet suffered heavy losses. Three escort cruisers, seven escort destroyers, and six escort aircraft carriers were sunk. The four main Japanese aircraft carriers, Osumi, Shimoe, Guodong, and Ome, were the key targets of Tang bombers, but because these four ships were the core protection objects of the Japanese army, the most tight defense was not sunk. Even so, the four main Japanese aircraft carriers were damaged to varying degrees.

A big hole was blown up on the flight deck of the Guodong. The Japanese army was busy extinguishing the fire. The carrier-based aircraft was temporarily unable to take off and land, and actually lost the role of the aircraft carrier platform.

The injured parts of the other three Osumi-class aircraft carriers are no longer on the flight deck, so they can take off and land aircraft for the time being and perform the functions of the aircraft carrier platform.

The Tang army's first wave of attacks lasted an hour before ending, losing twenty-seven Raptor heavy carrier-based fighters and thirty-two Hellfire heavy carrier-based bombers. The Japanese side lost 133 Type 96 carrier-based fighters. Except for the 200 Kanfeng Special Attack Team, there were less than fifty Japanese fighters left, which was difficult to withstand the Tang army's second wave of attacks.

Onodera Gonori, who moved to the bridge of the Shimoo aircraft carrier, listened to the battle loss report just now, looked into the distance and smiled bitterly: "I hope Oshiki Takijiro can succeed, and the battle situation will be restored entirely by the Kanfeng Special Attack Team!"

At the same time, the 200 Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets of the Kanfeng Special Attack Team commanded by Takijiro Oshiki had quietly approached the position of the Tang Army's first aircraft carrier battle group. Since they did not know the exact location of the Tang Army's aircraft carrier battle group at the beginning, they could only infer the general direction of the opponent's mothership from the direction of the Tang Army's invasion of the aircraft, so it took nearly an hour to discover a Tang Army destroyer guarding on the periphery. Then gradually locked in the real position of the Tang Army's aircraft carrier battle group.

He didn't plan to go back alive, so he chose to wait for the opportunity and ordered all fighter planes to stand by in the clouds at high altitude. He had to wait for the Tang army to return after the first wave of attacks and launch a sudden attack when the second wave of attacks was prepared for flight, because the four main aircraft carriers of the Tang army's first aircraft carrier battle group were all first-generation aircraft carriers, with a fully straight-through flight deck and could not take off and land aircraft at the same time.

Soon, Takijiro Oshiki discovered that the time was coming, because the Tang Army's first aircraft carrier battle group had already begun the second wave of preparations for the flight. A large number of fighter jets were refueling and loading ammunition, indicating that the Tang Army's first wave of attack aircraft group was about to return.

Takijiro Oshiki knew that the Tang army was very vigilant, so he did not let the group approach as soon as he first sent a reconnaissance plane to discover the location of the Datang aircraft carrier battle group, but hid in the high altitude clouds in the distance. At the same time, all radios were silent and did not allow the Tang army to detect and discover. He knew that the Tang army had a large number of escort aircraft carriers, and at least 200 aircraft were on standby for warning. The Tang army had a strong fleet air defense firepower, and dozens of air defense warships were alerted around. If Takijiro Oshiki suddenly appeared, he would be intercepted by the Tang army's aircraft only halfway and shot down by the air defense artillery, and the attack effect would inevitably be greatly reduced.

So Takijiro Oshiki waited for another opportunity. He was waiting for the first wave of attack aircraft group of the Tang army to return. At that time, the air traffic control center of the Tang army fleet would be very busy. Takijiro Oshiki was preparing to quietly follow the Tang army aircraft group to approach the Tang army aircraft carrier battle group at that time, and then suddenly launch an attack.

Because Takijiro Oshiki knew very well that his Kanfeng Special Attack Team launched a suicide attack. The time required was very short, just a few minutes. He firmly believed that even if the Tang army was a god, it would be difficult to intercept them, let alone a sudden attack and caught the Tang army off guard.

However, what Takijiro Oshiki never expected was that when the Tang army's first wave of attack aircraft group was about to return, the Tang army's second wave of attack aircraft group actually took off early.

"We seem to have been discovered!" A Japanese reconnaissance plane immediately turned on the radio to report to Takijiro Oshiki.

"Impossible! How could they be discovered if we didn't get close to them?" Oshiki Takijiro didn't believe that they would be discovered.

But the next moment, Takijiro Oshiki found that more than 100 Tang army fighter jets did not gather in the air after taking off, but rushed directly to the direction of his special attack team's fleet.

"It was indeed discovered! Damn it, how did they discover us!" Oshiki Takijiro didn't have time to think about it anymore, and immediately ordered the Kamikaze Special Attack Team to immediately launch an attack on the Tang Army aircraft carrier battle group.

At this time, the Tang Army's first aircraft carrier battle group was in tension. They had just received a report that a group of Japanese fighter aircraft was hiding near them, which immediately scared General Li Haichen.

It turned out that there was a ship Batman from the Royal Secret Service in the Tang Army aircraft fleet. This Batman was modified from a large ship. It was not armed, but only had a large antenna array, equipped with the latest sea-based radar system developed by the Tang Empire.

At this time, large radar antenna arrays had been built on various islands in the Tang Empire to form a radar reconnaissance network. The giant radar antenna array could detect air and maritime targets in a range of 500 kilometers, becoming an important part of the Tang Empire's absolute defense circle.

At the request of Zhang Meng, the Tang Empire military, the National Academy of Sciences, the Navy Department and the Royal Secret Service formed a sea-based radar array system to provide radar reconnaissance intelligence for the Navy.

However, this sea-based radar system consumes amazing power, and the antenna array cannot cover a vast area like a land-based one. It can be built with a large tonnage and area of ​​sea-based radar restricted ships. It is affected by sea waves and storms and has an astonishing construction cost. So in the end, only a Batman mobile radar monitoring ship was built, and it was only used as a test ship to conduct various sea conditions to collect data.

The Batman was carrying civilian ships to collect marine meteorological data in the North Pacific region, and was secretly operated and protected by the Royal Secret Service to detect the radar reflecting area and reflected signals of Japanese aircraft in order to further study the subsequent enemy-to-we-recognition system.

The Bat followed the fleet into the Yellow Sea, but unexpectedly scanned the radar reflection signals of a large number of Japanese aircraft hidden near the Tang army's first aircraft carrier battle group, and immediately reported to the fleet commander Li Haichen.
