数天前在印度洋海域日军一架水侦侦查到有一队含有CV的盟军编队正在缓缓挣扎着向着日军搜索范围之外的外海驶去，南方舰队司令部立刻敏锐地意识到可能是科科斯海战的盟军舰队残余，迅速出动了附近驻扎的全部SS追击，伊40号潜艇不负众望，于4月12日立功。3 }# L% b  @! V5 }

更新最新版本后，明显发现日军的反潜能力受到了严重削弱，不仅仅反潜船只的反潜效率降低（体现在很少能主动抓住盟军SS了），而且前期的反潜大杀器KB也丧失了强有力的区域反潜能力，过去每到一处撒出舰载机就能打鱼的盛况不再，舰载反潜机更多的只是发现SS的踪迹，但是主动攻击的频率锐减，基本对附近的SS不会产生重大威胁了。+ m; V# O: N; g' I1 F

在前面所述的“卑斯麦海的悲剧”事件中，盟军以区区39架鱼雷机的攻势就击沉了日军一支运输船队几乎全部的运输船，导致船上上万人的部队几乎全军覆没，联合舰队为此特意向陆军表达了沉重的歉意，而陆军方面，也在此事件中受到严重的心理震动，鉴于海军的主要兵力都抽调用于对付58的正面攻击，护航力量越来越捉襟见肘，已经无法顾及到各地的船队护航，陆军方面也终于下定决心，摈弃了与海军之间的前嫌，将已经建成的三艘陆军护航航母全部移交给海军使用，搭载海航烈风机队，专门用于维护卑斯麦海一带的航线安全（陆军共建有4艘护航航母，其中一艘已经被SS击沉在印度洋）。/ c4 `3 g+ @  C/ u$ o
于是，在陆海军的合力协助下，外南洋护航舰队成立了，首先接受到的第一个任务，就是于4月20日护送一支重要的补给船队开往已经越来越孤立的卡维恩和拉包尔基地。

全天盟军损失了180多架飞机，几乎出击的全部飞机都被占据优势的日本护航战斗机群拦截掉了，船队中的运输船只没有遭受什么损失，成功进港开始卸载补给，盟军的攻击行动遭遇了惨败，护航舰队首战就表现出了不俗的战力，当然这回胜在盟军没有准备，下一次相信盟军还会组织更加强有力的攻击机队并提供充足的护航战斗机，情况会更为艰难，虽然护航舰队的前途和命运还是非常不妙的，但是帝国将士将会一如既往视死如归。

同时前一天发现的盟军登陆舰队继续向着盛产石油的加里曼丹岛三马林达港航行，下一步行动的目标已经清晰，为了配合即将到来的登陆作战，盟军B29轰炸机群又一次出击裸奔压制了10格之外的大机场米里, G- f- N4 ?! J+ A
当地虽然部署了27架紫电改5战斗机直掩，但是由于飞得太高，结果跟低空突袭的B29机群擦肩而过，没有起到任何阻拦作用，机场被轻松大破。- g8 H/ b' S! l) w, Y

更新完最新版本后，日军的反潜能力明显受到严重削弱，更新之后日军似乎就没有击沉过任何潜艇了，盟军潜艇的活动逐渐扩散到四面八方，并开始取得战果，今天在遥远的中太航线上，一队运输船遭遇潜艇攻击，被击沉一艘，而且护航的军舰未能将凶手击沉，这是一个不祥之兆哇。3 J! x& W/ b4 f& ]3 w- I

直掩一般来说当然是比对方高度越高越好，但是考虑到当前已经被盟军战机死死高度压制，我们设置5000高度也是可行的，5000直掩可以取得一定的效果，但是注意，这种招数也有明显的破绽，只要对方相应降低高度扫场，5000直掩就是死路一条，低空的劣势造成的损失会更加惊人，这种招数只能偶尔冷不防用用，并不能够一劳永逸地解决问题，后期日军空战陷入绝境也是比较符合史实的，毕竟差距摆在面前。

每次跳弹攻击都可以用仅仅几架飞机造成巨大损害。这也再次证明，限制跳弹的必要性，我这档已经进入尾声，假如从一开始就允许跳弹攻势的话，估计对日军造成的损害会大大增加。
