首先是在印度洋科科斯岛附近，日军根据海搜机情报跟踪一队盟军运输船，并派出南洋驻留舰队攻击，成功追上了敌船队，可惜由于追击舰队本身力量太弱，没有对敌军造成重大伤害。

接着，在中太平洋，趁着盟军主力不在的机会，日军登陆舰队又一次对南鸟岛发起决死的攻击，但是由于前期的飞机轰炸压制效果差，岛上盟军几乎没有受到什么削弱，登陆日军死伤惨重，未能拿下南鸟岛，好不容易在上一次南鸟岛攻略战中整备完的这几支日军部队又一次回炉重修....... 6 L2 Q# v, D" q. L$ d

盟军一支轻型舰队在前天突袭特鲁克后返回了波纳佩基地，并解散在港口内补充，这一点被日军侦察机敏锐地注意到，正在附近海域待机的海军机动舰队决定利用这个机会，对这支处于解散状态的舰队展开致命打击！% H! i3 b0 K7 `* W
侦查显示波纳佩有约200架战斗机把守，KB全力出击，还是有把握。此外在特鲁克待命的陆基战斗机机队也接到了扫场作战的指令，协助KB攻击。" ? \ y9 n, R. ~
然而当天盟军防守松懈，港口上空值班战斗机出人意料的少，庞大的攻击机群没有受到什么阻拦就轻松突破，瞬间将波纳佩港口炸成一片火海！- M# |5 G; B8 e) Q8 k$ u
