    "Left full rudder, avoid"

    The Shigure dodged quickly, but the six approaching white waves still made the sailor's heart nearly jump out of his chest.  Seeing that the bow of the ship was slightly deviating from the torpedo channel, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a strange "squeaking" sound came from the stern of the ship.  It turned out that a four-meter-long Ji Ge aviation torpedo did not explode after hitting the starboard side. Instead, it scratched a scratch on the steel plate of the ship's hull and then turned towards the newly delivered destroyer Yugumo behind.

    "It's a smelly mine, haha ??- boom!" The two sailors on the stern deck who saw this scene with their own eyes were stunned. It wasn't until the torpedo left the range that they shouted excitedly and waved their hands to signal the whole ship.  But before the two of them wiped off the cold sweat from their temples, something happened that stunned them.  After changing direction, this 'stinky mine' plunged into the bow of the adjacent destroyer Yugumo, and even exploded ¡ª¡ª!

    170 kilograms of Octogen explosives set off a black smoke ball more than 30 meters high. After the clouds and fog faded, a large hole several meters wide appeared in the bow of the Xiyun.

    On the Shigure, everyone from the captain to the sailors were dumbfounded, it was obviously a stinking thunder!

    The thick smoke generated by the explosion made Nagyun scream. Everyone knows that it is difficult to search for targets on the sea, but if there is an explosion smoke ball, it can be seen clearly from dozens of kilometers away.  So he immediately abandoned the injured destroyer Yugumo and ordered the fleet to head west at full speed, trying to distance himself from the '21 Aircraft Carrier Battle Group'.  The problem is that the previous reconnaissance plane sent back wrong information. Zhang Zhaoyang's 121st aircraft carrier battle group is now 160 nautical miles west of him.  In other words, he unexpectedly took the initiative to close the distance with his opponent!

    It is conceivable that when Zhang Peng thought that the Nanyun fleet was still in the east, he led his fighter jets to rush all the way in order to complete the attack wave before dark.  However, he suddenly discovered that more than 20 Japanese warships were actively closing the distance at a speed of 26 knots and rushing towards the own fleet from under their own wings. How happy they were.  "The eagle calls for the ballista, the eagle calls for the ballistaFollow me. Kill them!" After calling the attack fleet to come as soon as possible, 24 'Lightnings' launched the attack without hesitation.

    Nagumo did not expect that the enemy would appear from the west, but what is surprising is that he actually thought that the 121st aircraft carrier battle group was in the northeast, so he refused to look back and continued to order the maneuver to the west.

    ??Zero battle.  Quickly take off from the two aircraft carriers and join the escort fleet.  However, Zhang Peng and his comrades did not give Zero Fighter a chance at all. They used the arrogant and unreasonable one-domain multi-layered four-four dive tactics to defeat the 36 escort Zero Fighters left by Nanyun. He alone,  He shot down 6 of them in one go.

    17:15.  The 24 "Yaksha" dive bombers following the fighter jets arrived first. They used air strikes isolated by the fighter jets, divided into two columns, and launched attacks on the two aircraft carriers from an altitude of 5,500 meters.  The dive bombers filing down continued to stimulate the nerves of the Nagumo fleet. The escort ships, headed by four Myogo-class heavy cruisers, desperately sprayed cannonballs into the sky, and the entire sky was filled with black and gray artillery fire.  But this time.  The good luck of the Nanyun fleet seemed to have run out on the "Flying Eagle". Bombs continued to fall around the two aircraft carriers, and the sea was filled with white water spots after the explosions.  Among the dense shells, the Falcon was the first to be hit.  The 800-kilogram bomb continuously penetrated the port side flight deck and hangar deck, and exploded outside the torpedo room.  As an urgently modified escort carrier, the Falcon entered service earlier than in history, which also resulted in its incomplete modification.  In order to rush the work, only a layer of 40mm vh steel was laid outside the torpedo compartment, which was supposed to prevent direct penetration of 305mm armor-piercing projectiles.  Such a thin steel plate cannot block the 800kg heavy waterway.  The fire instantly overflowed into the torpedo room. After the shock wave swept more than 60 torpedoes from the torpedo rack, the torpedoes in the high temperature collided with each other, causing a disaster.

    At 17:25, the "Falcon" made a thunderous explosion, and hundreds of tons of wreckage and debris were ejected from the port side of the explosion location.  The shock wave also scared a 'Yaksha' that was about to drop a bomb, causing it to evade and the bomb it dropped was deflected hundreds of meters away.  Viewed from the sky, this location seemed to have been cut away by a machine, revealing a large black hole with thick smoke coming out.  Although the damage control crews tried their best, the fire was so intense that within a short time, most of the wooden deck was engulfed in flames.  But before the Falcon could report its losses to the flagship, two more flashes of light appeared on the deck.  The two bombs penetrated the deck again and exploded in the hangar less than ten seconds apart.  Suddenly, the "Flying Eagle" was filled with thick smoke and raging fire. There were horrifying and horrific scenes everywhere. Hundreds of Japanese sailors howled miserably in the flames. The deck was filled with dying people, blood and broken pieces.  The meat was mixed together and flowed into the drainage channel of the aviation deck. It dripped down the side of the ship like red dye, forming a curtain of water like a rain curtain.

    When the ¡®Hyakata¡¯ was ravaged by dive bombers, the ¡®Ryuho¡¯ aircraft carrier surprisingly avoided 10 bombs at once. Even the two that hit only damaged the side deck and did not penetrate deep into the interior.  "Zhang Peng, come and help me catch up."?These flies!  "Just when Zhang Peng was anxious and surprised, whether it was the "Dragon and Phoenix" that was unlucky, or whether everyone went out and failed to pay homage to Guan Gong, the angry roar of the torpedo aircraft captain Liu Yu came from the earphones.

    Turning around, he saw that four Zero Fighters had been involved in the group of torpedo planes, and dense bullets kept hitting the heavy and slow Osprey.  "Team 3, Team 4! Follow me to protect the torpedo planes." Seeing this, Zhang Peng had to give up command temporarily, turned around and rushed towards the torpedo planes.

    Compared with dive bombers, torpedo planes are more susceptible to damage, not only because the torpedoes are heavier, but also because they need to ensure low-altitude performance, so the wings of torpedo planes are often very wide and have poor maneuverability.  Therefore, this zero-fighting team took advantage of this and took advantage of the opportunity when the Lightning was dragged down by other fighter planes, and deliberately hid at low altitudes to hunt down Liu Yu's fleet.

    A cunning Zero Fighter used its excellent low-altitude dogfighting capabilities to shoot down three Ospreys in one go. Just as it aimed its machine gun at the leader Liu Yu, Zhang Peng finally arrived with his wingman.  Being a brave man, he completed the deflection at low altitude and inserted straight between Liu Yu and Ling Zhan.  This bold move forced Ling Zhan to give up Liu Yu and evade to the left.  "Reform! Listen to my order¡ª¡ª" Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and summoned the scattered 'Osprey' to re-form.  Rushed towards the starboard side of the two aircraft carriers.

    "Put it in!" After approaching 1,200 meters, Liu Yu ordered the torpedo to be dropped.  The 11 Ji Ge aviation torpedoes all entered the water, and the white waves formed a fan with a width of a kilometer, rushing towards the "Dragon Phoenix" aircraft carrier.  Such a big fan.  Finally, all the good luck of the Dragon Phoenix was avoided, and two consecutive torpedoes hit the starboard side of the ship.  In the violent explosion, the starboard side of the Dragon Phoenix quickly took on water, causing the 15,000-ton escort carrier to quickly slow down to less than 15 knots.

    On the other side, the "Flying Eagle", which was already less than 12 knots, also suffered a torpedo. Fortunately, Liu Yu focused most of his firepower on the Dragon Phoenix.  That's why it can continue to lie on the sea and continue to spray black smoke outwards.

    The "Ryuho" and "Falcon" that stalled and caught fire one after another, and the "Flying Eagle" that was still sailing alone northward, made Nayun almost desperate. He knew that all three aircraft carriers were destroyed, and now he hoped that his attack aircraft group could  Send back the good news as soon as possible.  At least.  It can help Yamamoto consume the Chinese Navy's '21 Aircraft Carrier Battle Group' and force it to withdraw from the Ryukyu War.  But he never expected that just when the Ry¨±ho was torpedoed, the attack aircraft group led by Japanese Navy ace pilot Hiromichi Shinohara not only ran in the wrong direction, but also were escorted midway before seeing the four battleships.  The interception of 16 'Double-Headed Jiao' fighter jets.

    turn out to be.  After shooting down the reconnaissance plane, Xu Zengtang, who led the 211 battleship formation, realized that the Japanese army regarded him as an aircraft carrier.  Although the anti-aircraft firepower of the two Anhai-class battleships is no longer what it used to be, he is worried about the two French Dunkirk-class battleships because the French battleships have very poor air defense capabilities and only added some 40mm and 25mm during modifications.  The short-range artillery had neither radar nor VT shells, so in order to ensure safety, he asked the escorting air force to send fighter planes to intercept them.

    With the accelerated production of the "Jianba" Tianquan fighter, the "Double-Headed Jiao" twin-engine fighter with strong range and firepower, but slightly weaker air combat capabilities, has gradually been transformed into an interceptor aircraft.  So after discussion.  The 16 'Double-Headed Jiao' aircraft immediately threw away their auxiliary fuel tanks and took the initiative to intercept head-on in the south.  After occupying Mariana, the powerful J-6 "Double-Headed Jiao" gave full play to its capabilities as an excellent interceptor, using the Mariana base to continuously patrol the vast Pacific Ocean.  It even penetrated into Japanese airspace dozens of times to carry out aerial guerrilla warfare.  Having a strong body made them fearless. In just a few minutes after the encounter, they shot down more than 20 bombers and smashed the entire fleet to pieces.  "I've bitten him, I've bitten him! Cover me!" Seeing that the attack fleet he was escorting was washed away, Shinohara Hiromichi was so angry that he tore off his scarf and piloted the Zero to bite a 'double-headed aircraft'  Jiao', and asked his wingman to cover him.

    The four 7.7mm machine guns in the nose and wings fired a barrage of gray barrages after the butt. But what made Shinohara Hiromichi furious was that the bullets were almost halfway fired. The twin aircraft in front, which was based on the P38,  The dragon is still flying!  And it shows no signs of slowing down at all.  "How thick its armor must be!" Seeing this scene, the Japanese pilots almost lost their confidence.

    In fact, the Japanese Navy has long suffered from insufficient firepower and weak protection, so it has long had the idea of ??replacing machine guns and adding armor to the Zero Fighter. However, the Japanese Navy was defeated too quickly, and the new Zero Fighter is still undergoing test flights.  The Chinese navy was right on the doorstep, and the mainland was under continuous bombing, so it could only urgently install two more 7.7mm aviation machine guns and go out to fight.

    On the contrary, the double-headed dragon is full of firepower. The two 25mm cannons and four 12.7mm machine guns in the nose of the aircraft will definitely destroy a Japanese aircraft with just one spit.

    "Sir, it's a telegram from the Ninghai. The Japanese attack planes are flying towards them."

    "Oh?"Zhang Zhaoyang was stunned for a moment when he received the telegram, and then he was ecstatic. Even Feng Guoru next to him fisted his fist: "Great! Nan Yun was fooled!" Can you not be happy?  After Nagumo's main force attacks the battleship, it means that the threat of the 121th aircraft carrier battle group has been reduced to a minimum. If you are lucky, you can even escape unscathed.  But after the ecstasy, the two began to worry about Xu Zengtang. After all, the Japanese attack fleet had nearly a hundred aircraft.

    So Zhang Zhaoyang immediately clenched his fists: "Have all the reconnaissance planes come back?"

    "We are refueling and loading bombs. We can take off within a quarter of an hour." Feng Guoru guessed his thoughts: "Commander, do you want the escort fighters to reinforce Xu Zengtang?"

    "What, no?"

    Feng Guoru still took his time and lit a cigarette: "Xu Zengtang is only 110 nautical miles away from us now. If the fighter jets pass at full speed, it will only take about ten minutes. But Commander, you'd better ask Zhang Peng and the others to retreat in advance, otherwise we  The escort force overhead was too weak. The Zuikaku" In the Battle of Wake Island, the Japanese aircraft carrier Zuikaku was defeated by the unexpected U.S. military after the victory was won due to insufficient escort fighters.  Dive bomber sunk.  This incident greatly touched the Chinese Navy.  We realize that as long as 100% annihilation cannot be guaranteed in aircraft carrier operations, sufficient escort force must be left behind.

    Zhang Zhaoyang nodded. The centipede was dead but not stiff.  What's more, it will be dark in a while, and the sky visibility will become worse at that time. If a Japanese aircraft appears, it will be easy for someone to slip through the trap.  So cross your arms.  After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Leave 16 escort fighters, and the rest will go to support Xu Zengtang as quickly as possible. Then follow your method and tell Zhang Peng to withdraw a group of fighter jets first. Also, let Lei Shaobao  Separate a group to attack the Flying Eagle, don't let it escape in the dark."

    "Hurry up! No need to fill up the tank. Enough is enough. Let's go! Let's go, let's go!"

    At 17:30, Lei Shaobao, who had just returned from zero battle and had just refueled with half fuel, couldn't wait to let the air crew leave and returned to the battlefield with 22 'Yakhas' and 14 Ospreys.  After taking off, he immediately divided his forces and took 8 'Yakhas' and 6 'Ospreys' to attack the 'Flying Eagle' which had no ability to fight back.  The rest all went to support Zhang Peng.

    When Lei Shaobao took off, the attack aircraft groups taking off from the two Beihai-class aircraft carriers finally flew over the Nanyun Fleet.  "Separate three squadrons to deal with the aircraft carrier, and the rest will attack the heavy patrol." Zhang Peng is worthy of being the navy's number one aviation captain. Under his on-the-spot command, the attack fleet quickly divided into two groups, attacking the dying aircraft at the same time like migrating locusts.  Two aircraft carriers and four Myosen heavy cruisers launched a fierce attack.

    After the aircraft carrier was severely damaged, Nagumo foresaw that the four Myosen heavy cruisers would become the main targets, so he took the initiative to weaken the protection of the aircraft carrier and concentrated most of the escort ships around the heavy cruisers.  "Dong dong dong, dong dong dong." Thick shells.  Seventeen warships, including four heavy cruisers, jumped out at the same time, and the cannonballs that filled the sky looked extremely terrifying.  But this did not frighten the Chinese naval pilots who had already developed a strong character. They remained fearless and stared at the artillery fire and launched a series of attacks like a tide.

    At 17:46, the heavy cruiser Nachi was the first to hit the bomb.  The Japanese Navy's design philosophy of placing emphasis on firepower and light protection, and the fragile horizontal deck of the treaty heavy cruiser, are clearly revealed in it.  This warhead used a tungsten steel 800-kilogram armor-piercing projectile. It started from the left deck of the rear bridge, entered the aviation equipment cabin, then the living cabin, electrical cabin, fresh water tank - and finally went all the way down, drilling into No. 2  Boiler room.  I have to say that currently, among all countries, only China will use tungsten carbide warheads on aerial bombs at all costs to increase a little bit of penetration, because other countries simply do not have such large tungsten ore reserves.  Rather than saying that the 'Nachi' and the Japanese Navy were defeated, it would be better to say that they were tortured to death by this 'prodigal'.

    The bomb exploded after piercing a high-pressure boiler. The shrapnel tore apart five adjacent boilers, oil pipelines and steam high-pressure pipes. Tons of heavy oil, high-temperature and high-pressure steam, like a volcano that has been accumulated for hundreds of years, erupted from the pipes.  The inside bursts out wildly.  The heart-piercing scream instantly boiled and scalded a dozen sailors in the boiler room to death.  When the pressure of the bomb squeezed open the outer wall of the cabin, it turned into a terrible disaster. Steam and igniting heavy oil flowed everywhere along the cracks. The skin of the unprotected sailors was instantly scorched and necrotic, and the exposed arms and necks were bloody and bloody.  The skin is like layers of melted ice cream, slowly collapsing.

    Even if they were not scalded to death by the first wave of high temperature and high heat, the remaining sailors could not escape at all. Thick smoke filled the cruiser along the aisle, and the lungs made a bellows sound, and everyone stopped unconsciously.  , holding on to the bulkhead and coughing violently until he died of suffocation.

    No one could see the tragic scene happening inside the Nachi. Even on the Myoko following behind him, Nagumo could only see a ball of black smoke wrapped in white mist rushing out from the rear island.  Then a violent explosion spread to the entire rear deck.At that moment, the hearts of Nagumo and the fleet officers were all clenched together, but soon, the "Myoko" they were on also experienced the pain of the "Nachi".  Two aviation armor-piercing bombs exploded at the bow and stern of the ship at the same time, almost in no particular order.  The moment the fire ball blocked the view, all the porthole glass on the bridge was shattered.  The bomb at the stern of the ship penetrated the steel plate on the side of the turret, and continuously broke through the well of the turret.  Fortunately, since the main gun was not used, there was no ammunition in the turret.  However, the flames and shock waves made the Myoko not dare to neglect, and immediately injected water into the underground wells of the two turrets at the back to suppress the explosion.  But as a result, the speed of the Myoko suddenly dropped from 30 knots to 26 knots.

    "Report the loss!"

    "The power of the Nachi is damaged and the speed is obvious! The Ashigara was hit on the starboard side and is extinguishing the fire. The Haguro reported that the stern of the ship was hit by a torpedo. But it will not slow down."

    "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, we are slowing down¡ª¡ªwe can only guarantee 26 knots."

    "Send a signal for everyone to continue working hard. Hold on for 30 minutes. If you hold on for another 30 minutes, it will get dark." Nanyun's hand was holding on to the cracked porthole, and the sky above his head gradually turned gray.  Suddenly, there was an extremely bright fireball in the rear left corner.  His dream of staying up until dark was completely shattered.  Turning around, he saw that the nearly paralyzed "Falcon Eagle" exploded again. All four bombs dropped on it hit the target, especially the third one, which completely destroyed the 27,000-ton aircraft carrier.  The bomb entered the hangar from the stern of the ship, then penetrated the deck and reached the lower ammunition magazine.  More than two hundred tons of aerial bombs were detonated here.  What Nanyun saw was the scene of the ammunition depot being detonated.  After the explosion formed a one-kilometer-high mushroom cloud over the stern of the ship, the 20-meter-wide stern broke with a bang, and then the entire deck quickly tilted. Hundreds of Japanese sailors who were trying their best to put out the fire were all thrown into the sea, and then were thrown into the sea.  The rapidly flipping hull was pressed into the seabed.

    "The Dragon Phoenix" also failed to escape this wave of air attacks, after avoiding two bombs.  It was hit by three torpedoes in succession and lasted only half an hour longer than the Falcon before disappearing into the Philippine Sea thousands of meters deep.  As if in response to the explosion of the aircraft carrier, the Nachi also experienced an internal oil and gas explosion shortly after, and billowing smoke shot out from all parts of the ship.  In order to avoid falling into the enemy's hands, Nagumo had to issue an order to abandon the ship to the 'Nachi', and finally asked the Shigure to use two oxygen torpedoes of the 93 Lance to personally send the 13,550-ton heavy cruiser to the bottom of the sea.

    The continuous churning fireballs and explosions almost made the entire Nagumo fleet numb with pain.  So when the sun finally dipped below the horizon, the sailors in the fleet even burst into cheers.  But when they thought they could use the darkness to break out.  When I returned home safely, an even bigger piece of bad news came.  The dispatched attack aircraft group was frantically intercepted by 66 fighter jets from the Chinese navy and air force. After finally finding the target, they found that there were only 4 battleships and 8 escort destroyers on the entire sea.  But the ¡®aircraft carrier¡¯ that should be here didn¡¯t even see the shadow of a ghost!  This news, like a basin of ice water, woke up Nayun and the Japanese officers.  Because this means that after paying a heavy price for three aircraft carriers and one heavy cruiser, they did not even complete the task of 'consuming' the 21st aircraft carrier fleet.

    Facing this news, Nanyun seemed to have aged several dozen years. He sat down on the chair and stared blankly.  Ryunosuke Kusaka didn't dare to disturb him, so he had to send a telegram to Yamamoto in his name to report the situation.  But in the telegram, Caolu still said that the attack was the '21st Aircraft Carrier Fleet'.

    Afterwards, Kusaka committed seppuku because it was his telegram that completely ruined Tsukahara 243 and the Japanese navy who were rushing to the Todai Islands.

    At 18 o'clock, Lei Shaobao rushed to the sky above the "Flying Eagle".  At this time, the sky was already very dark. In order to ensure flight safety, he voluntarily gave up the high-risk high-angle-of-attack dive and adopted the method of glide bombing, aiming to drop bombs at a small angle of 50 degrees on the wide deck.  Although the armor-piercing power of the bombs was reduced, the "Flying Eagle" still took 4 bombs and 2 torpedoes in a row, ignited a fire, and was eventually discovered and sunk by a patrolling submarine four hours later.

    At 18:30, Lei Shaobao, who had finished the attack, passed over the Nanyun Fleet. After careful inspection, he sent back a briefing: "The Flying Eagle was severely damaged, the Falcon disappeared, the Dragon Phoenix, and the Nachi began to sink¡ª¡ª"  Shortly afterwards, Xu Zengtang also sent news that the 211 battleship formation shot down all the Nanyun attack aircraft group at the cost of the loss of 11 fighter jets and minor injuries to the Dinghai and Dunkirk.

    "Forward to headquarters." The exciting news made the 121st aircraft carrier battle group burst into cheers. As soon as the returning fighter planes landed, they were surrounded by excited sailors.  On the ship island, Zhang Zhaoyang breathed a sigh of relief, slowly put the telegram on the table, took off his hat, and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Forward to the headquarters and order the 129th Destroyer Detachment to attack and provide Xu Zengtang with night guidance.  "

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    The setting sun is like blood. When the Battle of the Philippines is in full swing, the main force of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet has also arrived on the east side of Tanegashima Island outside Kagoshima.

      In the spacious ship island, Yamamoto was looking at the crimson sunset in the west through the not-so-wide porthole. Occasionally, he frowned slightly and glanced at the sea surface.  On the left side of the ship island is the aircraft carrier formation led by Tsukahara 243. The three aircraft carriers Shokaku, Soryu and Hiryu formed a column and advanced together.  Escorting it are 4 Agano-class light cruisers and 16 destroyers.

    Under his feet and to his right are the four battleships Nagato, Mutsu, Kongo and Hiei, which will accompany him on his expedition to Ipya Island for the night battle, as well as four Takao-class heavy cruisers and three Nagara-class light cruisers.  At the outermost part of the fleet, there were 20 destroyers protecting the night attack formation, and they also formed a column and sailed south quickly.  Of course, he knew without looking back that there were 12 destroyers in the rear, faithfully serving as the rearguard of the entire fleet.

    With the exception of Yamato and the repaired Musashi, the last main force of the combined fleet is making its last gamble heading south

    "Report! It's a telegram from Lieutenant General Nagumo." A crisp report broke the calm, and the staff officer walked up to him with a look of anxiety on his face.

    "read."

    "From 17:15, our unit was attacked by two air attacks by the China 21 Formation. We suffered heavy losses, but we have contained the enemy fleet. At present, the enemy attack has stopped due to the entry of night. Our unit is turning northwest and heading towards Okinawa. It is expected to be able to attack tomorrow afternoon  arrival"

    The seemingly ordinary telegram made Yamamoto frown suddenly.  Others didn't know it, but he knew very well that due to reasons such as leaks and morale during the expedition, the number of losses was rarely directly reported in the telegrams sent by the fleet. However, according to the secret codes he and Nagumo gave before departure, the words "very heavy losses",  He has been told clearly that the three aircraft carriers are finished!

    The senior officers such as Ugaki Matoi and Tsukahara, who knew the details, also clenched their fists, lowered their heads, and their eyes were particularly solemn.

    "The enemy fleet has been contained." Yamamoto had no expression on his face, deliberately repeating the words in the telegram, and nodded with a look of relief: "Well done, gentlemen, Nagumo-kun has contained the China 21 Fleet, which poses the greatest threat.  , there is no threat to our east. I hope everyone will work harder in the future."

    "Hi!"

    After the officers nodded, Yamamoto walked to the chart: "Have you figured out China's main force in the East China Sea?"

    "Three aircraft carriers are sailing north of Miyako Island and heading east. It is initially judged that they are going to attack the Empire's Daito Islands. The five battleships that bombarded Iheya Island had retreated south two hours ago, and the whereabouts of the remaining four escort aircraft carriers are unknown. According to  The Okinawa reconnaissance plane said that they discovered a large number of warships 35 nautical miles southwest of Kume Island an hour ago, including several warships that looked like aircraft carriers." The staff reported loudly: "Admiral Toyoda sent a message that he has prepared a fleet.  It is expected to set off to attack Iheya Island in four hours. General Toyoda also asked his humble position to tell the general that the Okinawa Kikusui Special Attack Team is ready, just waiting for us to send the signal"

    "very good."

    After hearing this, Yamamoto turned half of his face with his hands behind his back and returned to his original position.  In the distant sunset, several Zero Fighters roared up.  High in the sky, a Night Owl high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft spread its wings and slowly hovered at a height beyond the reach of fighter jets

    ====

    ps: This section is seriously dragging on the drama, I¡¯m not asking for forgiveness here, but it¡¯s rather boring.  There are too many things going on recently. Last week, my wife went to the Netherlands on a business trip, and the little hippopotamus also went to play with her. She asked me to take care of the New Year matters.  Who would have thought that at my workplace, two-thirds of my colleagues would go home to celebrate the New Year or take annual leave to slack off. As a result, I, a "salary worm", was forced to work on the front line to do business.  I listened to the phone calls for five or six hours a day, and I secretly coded while everyone was having lunch, but I was completely out of shape.  But I can¡¯t do it if I don¡¯t write, and I¡¯m in no shape if I don¡¯t write, so I have to grind through this section carefully.  In fact, I also felt very uncomfortable, but I couldn't help it.

    Tonight my wife came back and found that half of the things she had prepared were in the supermarket

    So, tonight, I decided to stay with the sofa for the twenty-seventh time this year, and get back on track as soon as possible
