12月18日，沉寂一段时间的马绍尔群岛方向再次传来了枪声，趁着KB出现在澳东，马绍尔方向空虚的机会，盟军组织了一波猝不及防的突袭登陆战，趁日军恩尼威托克岛上的守军换防之机，派遣一个空降旅登陆突袭，岛上日军虽然提前发现了盟军动向，奈何远水解不了近渴，直接被一回合拿下。. R0 Q; ^8 a0 _* M' \

虽然帝国取得一次提气的胜利，但是这基本上也是一场无法再复制的胜利。正如盟军突袭夺取恩尼威托克一样，帝国的这次胜利也是建立在对手麻痹大意没有设防的基础上，假如盟军登岛同时带点辅助地勤部队并第一时间部署战斗机部队，则帝国就算是有战斗机护航亦不敢轻易投入运输机群执行此种任务，而轰炸机群的地面压制也必将大打折扣，就算空降部队强行降落，调整值估计也将会非常难看，胜败将难以预测。( w" ]3 K5 T, l9 ]( I+ N6 ]) f
战局已经逐渐如雪花般乱吹，明显感觉到，时间站在盟军一边，留给帝国将士发挥的时间已经所剩无几，越往后战斗将越加困难，帝国将士上下一心，争取更大的胜利！

另外第111钦迪特空降旅的建制人数我有个疑问，头一天登陆进攻时显示有2800多人的部队，为什么第二天消灭时只发现了1700多的尸体？还有1000人去哪里了？神秘失踪？请大统领贴个编制表看看

现在我的体会是，要执行有效的防御，必须要投入一切可以投入的兵力，因为进攻方必然出全力进攻，如果防御方出于犹豫或者担心损失CV的缘故畏手畏脚，那么这种防御在盟军58+4发舰队+陆航轰炸机的组合下必然是完全无法抵抗的，新喀那种地方离主要核心地域太遥远，不适宜投入KB防御，因此首先就被大本营排除在构想中的防御线之外，所以在那个地方投入地面部队重兵的可能也被相应排除了。5 H6 Q, Y4 g/ j9 k6 l) M
PS：没有强有力的后援做防御的支撑，单独投入地面部队在孤立的基地完全是被动挨炸到死的节奏啊

感觉陆攻机的攻击效率自42年下半年以来每况愈下啊，舰载鱼雷机可以雷中小小的LCT，陆攻机连巨大的CL都无法命中。如果保持这样的态势，对于后面的战斗相当不利啊

另外大统领受前面陆攻机的启发居然用CL编队作诱饵企图再引诱帝国陆攻机队发动攻击，毫无人道的战术安排令CL舰队官兵满腹怨言。

43年的最后一天，帝国空军新锐机队紫电改-5和疾风丙在霍洛岛遭遇一场惨败，估计遇上盟军最精锐的机队了。, R. e3 h  h7 _& A" }% ~

我主要关注新锐机型的损失比，还有十来架菜鸟飞的钟馗显然是送菜的，但是这新锐机型的损失也和菜鸟老爷机差不多啊..............

/ T8 b/ u7 X8 F5 Y! O1月5日，由于前一天发现了在瓜岛海域待机的大和武藏编队，另对岸的盟军指挥官大为兴奋，撤空了第一线机场，并调集了大量海航战斗机和攻击机集中在二线机场，企图重演43年击沉日军4艘重巡洋舰的好戏，然而帝国岂非当年吴下阿蒙？士别三日当刮目相看，联合舰队果断缩手撤退，令盟军攻击机失去了目标，仅仅轰炸了两艘过于靠近前线的反潜PB，同时日军鱼雷机也依葫芦画瓢，击沉了两艘过于靠近日方基地的盟军反潜SC，可谓半斤八两的一天。
