! h$ Z* T; W- |5 D自6月盟军在澳洲北部领地展开进攻以来,盟军的动作坚决而稳定,不断一步步逼近日军的核心基地群,6月27日,又一队满载着工兵部队和工程装备的运输船队准备接近盟军最新占领的Gove基地卸货,被日军巡逻机提前侦知,坐镇达尔文指挥的日军第四舰队司令长官立即下令组织高速驱逐舰队火速夜袭。同时,为了确保舰队的安全,组织了大量战斗机和轰炸机在白昼对盟军基地进行战斗压制,战斗的警报瞬间再次响彻整个达尔文,帝国航空兵部队将士明知此去凶多吉少,仍然默默带上头盔登机出发。

当夜由新锐高速驱逐舰组成的日军套扫舰队首先成功杀入盟军船队泊场,对当面盟军船只展开一场屠杀,可惜人手有限,大部分盟军船只还是趁乱逃脱了。尽管如此,还是消灭了不少盟军部队,同时挫败了增援企图。) f% w m! C+ c5 i) D- C
