盟军由于没有护航飞机,有70架SBD3和14架TFT裸奔分4个波次对KB发动了攻击,基本上是去送了菜,回来的飞机加在一起估计就十来架,没有取得任何战果。
. J7 _9 `! P1 P+ y& `/ V8 W
- A: O* i/ R$ p- D经过一天的大战,双方均损失惨重,对于盟军来说,好消息是日军航空兵力遭到重创,KB损失的飞机需要几个月时间才能补充回来,更关键的是操作攻击机的飞行员基本损失殆尽,虽然还保留了所有的CV,但是实际上已经丧失了攻击能力了。不好的消息是,载机70余架的黄蜂被击沉,以后就只有靠3艘载机90架的CV和KB对抗,攻击机队在这次攻击中损失也过半,不过好在还有海军陆战队的飞机可以进行补充,受到的影响实际上还是比KB要小。
6 s2 }5 G- O: Q4 K, m日军意图通过达达科小道进行强攻,但是在莫港制空权尚在激烈争夺,KB又暂时丧失战力的情况下,在防御X3的达达科小道进行作战,想必也是一件十分艰苦的事情。战事至此,已经进入了十分微妙的阶段,估计需要等到联合舰队两鹰的增援到达才能出现新的转折了。 |
