8月18日-8月24日,日本随着kb的到来,开始了进攻莫港的大规模军事行动。各基地的海岸警卫队早已上船在拉包尔整装待发,一路上,虽然遭遇了盟军ss多次BT的袭击,但是大部队还是安全顺利的在莫港登陆,经过了另人难以忍受的抢滩登陆并付出巨大的损失后。莫港军力190:94。与此同时,布纳的HQ也翻山岳岭,向莫港袭来。) s+ c8 x6 A8 U
10+ss撒下了一张大网,就等候58舰队的到来了。
! q6 L0 z5 o6 n果然,在8月24日,发现58舰队字瓜岛方向驶来,雨季到达地点米龙湾附近。kb迅速决定,打一场远程突袭,利用0战和97舰攻航程上的优势,9格距离突袭。但是结果却另人大跌眼睛,简直就是马里亚纳的翻版。8月25日全天日本被击落飞机70余架,只有一架舰攻突破防御,冒着枪林弹雨,进入发射通道。正当进入鱼雷射程时,北卡的一枚炮弹迎面砸中了这架飞机,化作一朵亮丽的演化。于是全天战果:ZERO!!!
& s% V# m% Y; }1 `此时日本编队面临严峻形式,0战大量损耗,已经不可能完成对CV的直掩任务,既然掩护不了,那么就同归于尽吧。于是70架0战掩护着60架轰炸机于8月26日再次向58发起了决死突击。58舰队也派出了全部的轰炸机向kb袭来。
