从新西兰南岛及时赶到的威尔士亲王编队拦截了日军大和编队，此时日军编队船只由于水雷的影响已经减半，但是火力上的差距依然十分明显，盟军一艘BB对阵日军5艘BB，盟军重巡的8寸炮完全无法对日舰造成任何威胁。不过皇家海军名不虚传，一代名舰威尔士亲王号从南洋死里逃生，经过半年修理后首次投入战斗，战斗力丝毫不减，8000码距离上首发命中大和号，直接摧毁了大和号的舰桥和控制室，作为旗舰的大和号立刻对局势失去掌握，燃起的大火成为夜晚最醒目的目标，吸引了盟军绝大多数的火力，不过即使被命中了4-5发14寸炮弹，霓虹国耗尽国帑堆积的终极战舰也仅仅是起火还没有重创，堪称生命的奇迹。3 q" N( Z1 V9 L6 x8 m7 d' }

月光太差了双方完全看不到对方就在瞎轰，大和号被集火是因为一开始就被亲王打起火了，不过CA的8寸炮中了20几炮一点事都没有，毫无压力

鬼子水面舰队损失不大，CV损失比较大，还好意志坚强，我是不会告诉鬼子其实盟军的CV也败光了，43年7月前甭想大规模反击

hades1001

另外新西兰是打不下的，我充分吸取了打老赵的教训在惠灵顿堆了50w补给2个美军师一个澳洲师和所有的新西兰部队，总计战斗力超过2500，水面舰队和战斗机牢牢把守该地，鬼子来了估计要享受夜夜炮击的特别招待
