# ?1 @5 v* w2 ~
本次战斗为太平洋舰队2年多来第一次上规模的水面战,盟军水兵在能见度恶劣的情况下利用雷达给予日军有利打击,不过在战斗中也暴露出了盟军水兵技艺不精,炮击组织不利,人浮于事等各种弊端。战斗结束后太平洋舰队指战官兵纷纷表示要充分总结经验教训,刻苦磨砺水面战技术,积极相应9527大统领要求部队“能打仗,打硬仗,打胜仗”的号召,争取从胜利走向更大的胜利。

天亮之后,巡弋的波纳佩海域的58战斗机官兵惊喜的发现有几百架日军运输机排着整齐的队形向波纳佩飞来,准备强行空投补给。盟军指战员当然毫不客气照单全收,击落日本大艇和运输机200余架,大获全胜。$ Z+ q; H s+ O7 X: z5 N6 \6 \
