蝗军200架三代战斗机围殴3架四发，居然还给跑了一架。。。指挥官应该切腹负责！

火力还是贫弱了点，这证明某些战斗轰炸机的存在价值

5 R3 x/ N8 T% q: k. W$ a; |自6月盟军在澳洲北部领地展开进攻以来，盟军的动作坚决而稳定，不断一步步逼近日军的核心基地群，6月27日，又一队满载着工兵部队和工程装备的运输船队准备接近盟军最新占领的Gove基地卸货，被日军巡逻机提前侦知，坐镇达尔文指挥的日军第四舰队司令长官立即下令组织高速驱逐舰队火速夜袭。同时，为了确保舰队的安全，组织了大量战斗机和轰炸机在白昼对盟军基地进行战斗压制，战斗的警报瞬间再次响彻整个达尔文，帝国航空兵部队将士明知此去凶多吉少，仍然默默带上头盔登机出发。

当夜由新锐高速驱逐舰组成的日军套扫舰队首先成功杀入盟军船队泊场，对当面盟军船只展开一场屠杀，可惜人手有限，大部分盟军船只还是趁乱逃脱了。尽管如此，还是消灭了不少盟军部队，同时挫败了增援企图。. D0 ^! _2 s) m- w4 ?! K. p0 I

蝗军在44年中取得一场宝贵的战术胜利。

wangqifeng

紫电表现比疾风好得多啊，是不是飞行员素质差别？

红叶

主要是紫电改最后一个进场，捡了皮夹子

firephoenix

显然是紫电改5最后进场的缘故啊

wangqifeng

以我看，也不仅仅是进场时机的问题，显然，有很多进场晚，照样被暴打的例子，仔细看看战报，我估计还是高度的关系

6月28日，帝国航空兵继续进行Gove上空的航空绞杀战，全天共击落击毁盟军50多架战斗机，其中40多架是P47D2，其余是喷火8；帝国也付出了疾风丙，紫电改1，紫电改5各十多架的代价。轰炸机群得到战斗机部队的有力支援，无损突防，继续对Gove岛港口进行压制，阻止盟军工兵部队修筑机场，但根据侦查得知，当天盟军运输船队冒着枪林弹雨强行靠岸，将数千工兵和工程器械卸载在Gove港，帝国的压制行动面临更大困难。

hades1001

值得指出的一点是，日军现在仅仅在各个前线cap的战斗机，已知的编制已经超过3500架，后方未知的训练编队编制不明，即使是最保守估计日军的战斗机编制也已经在5000架以上；于此同时盟军除去毛子的1000多架战斗机，整个陆基战斗机的编制尚不到3500架，精锐战机不过区区500架。
