在进入炮击阵位之前,联合舰队还遭遇到一队正好靠泊在港口的反潜船队,于是首先开火将其驱赶开。

盟军将数十架舰载鱼雷机部署在刚刚攻占的莱城基地,没有受到日军的注意,结果3月10日当天,一队千里迢迢为腊包儿运输油料的补给油船在即将到达目的地之时遭遇到盟军鱼雷机的突袭,全部油轮连同护航的护卫舰全部损失,整个编队全军覆没!对于严重缺乏油料运输力量的帝国海军来说,真是一次极其心痛的损失啊! i h. J, L& ^' N, M; r# g) V
5 A0 f' x2 o/ d3 V8 U战斗中显示出盟军舰载鱼雷机面对最高航速在18节左右的船只具有优良的性能和极高的鱼雷命中率。所谓盟军的鱼雷机性能不行的言论被证明完全是不成立的,看来大统领有必要对空袭劳腾港行动中表现拙劣的盟军鱼雷机队指挥官展开听证会调查。: E$ L! u8 b: Z
