本想把把包括威尔士亲王在内的重型水面舰队隐藏在新西兰南岛准备伏击日军，但是KB绕了一个大圈从东南边杀到，避开了盟军的水机。KB载机已经非常紧缺，并没有携带大量的攻击机，威尔士亲王所中一雷毫发无伤，重巡路易斯维尔号需要进港排水了，条约型重巡质量也太次了。。。

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
