In an attempt to rapidly gather the Island Royal Navy together, Australasia chose to ignore the possible movements of the Island Royal Navy, focusing instead on combating the proactive Island Nation Air Force.
Although the Island Nation Army Air Squadrons deployed more than 400 airplanes across Kyushu Island, Honshu Island, and Shikoku Island, less than half of these airplanes were newly manufactured, the rest being outdated models.
Since the main goal was to attract attention, one naturally could not expect these planes to inflict substantial casualties on the Australasian Air Force.
The reality was indeed so. The entire air battle lasted for more than three hours, and in the end, the planes deployed by the Island Nation were almost completely annihilated, with only a few that were originally lingering on the edges of the battlefield managing to escape by chance.
