四段击之后,盟军还飘在海面上的就只剩下点残汤剩水了。
' C: |0 ^$ g( Q, P: V# E: f经过几天战斗之后,大本营注意到战斗出现一种新的趋向:由于盟军连续在两个岛屿的进攻没有成功,机场还是牢牢掌握在帝国手中,因此盟军无法直接在当地驻扎战斗机队防空,造成盟军在战术上的软肋。因此盟军继续往这两个岛上运输部队和物资变成一件很危险的工作,情况正如瓜岛之翻版,不同的是,需要突破重重阻拦往上运部队的任务落在了盟军头上,虽然帝国新近损失了minikb,丢失了制海权,但是在帝国陆基航空兵力的掩护下,还不够强大的58也要再三思考下是否有足够的实力掩护运输船队进入日军雷击队的攻击范围内冒险。8 O9 ]/ _! s' W- S- q, {
