Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As the sun sets in the west, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the sea, which is golden and sparkling, and the scenery is quite unique.  However, the burning wreckage of warships floating on the sea, as well as the Chinese and American soldiers waiting for rescue in the sea, completely destroyed this beautiful scenery.  The wreckage of the warships and the corpses floating on the sea all told how intense the naval battle had been.

    The second Pacific naval battle between the Chinese and American navies once again ended with the victory of the Chinese navy.  However, this victory is no longer as easy as the last time.  The U.S. Navy is getting stronger and stronger, and the Chinese Navy must pay a greater price if it wants to defeat the U.S. Navy.

    "Your Majesty is absolutely right. The United States is indeed our close enemy. The United States' strong industrial strength will inevitably give them strong military strength. Once they are allowed to develop, the empire will have to dominate the Pacific if they want to.  It's not that easy anymore. Next time, if China and the United States go to war again, can we still win?" Admiral Li Dingxin, commander of the Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet, secretly asked himself.  His head was wrapped with a thick layer of gauze.  He was also injured in the previous battle.

    "Commander, the results of the battle are in!" Vice Admiral Gao Yihai, Chief of Staff of the Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet, came over with a piece of paper.  Although it was just a thin piece of paper, it recorded the results of this fierce naval battle.

    "Well!" General Li Dingxin received the statistics of the battle results and looked at them carefully.  I saw a record coming to my door: In this battle, the Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet won a complete victory.  A total of one American battleship was captured, the USS Alabama.  Two armored cruisers.  They are the armored cruiser USS West Virginia and the armored cruiser USS South Dakota.  Sunk 5 American battleships.  They are the battleships "Illinois", "Wisconsin", "Kishach", "Kentucky" and "Massachusetts".  Sunk 5 American armored cruisers, namely the USS New York, the USS Brooklyn, the USS Pennsylvania, and the USS California.  Armored cruiser USS Maryland.  In addition, 13 U.S. Navy light cruisers were sunk, two were captured, and six escaped.  Sunk 18 U.S. Navy destroyers, captured 7, and escaped 10.  The main force of the U.S. Navy's West Coast Fleet has been basically wiped out.

    ? Below, the losses of the Chinese Navy¡¯s Pacific Fleet are recorded.  In this battle, the Chinese Navy's battleship "Xikang" sank, the battleship "Plateau" sank, and the battleship "Sichuan" suffered heavy damage.  The battleships 'Qinghai' and 'Hawaii' were slightly damaged.  The heavy cruiser "Xi'an" sank in the battle, and the heavy cruiser "Lanzhou" and the heavy cruiser "Lhasa" suffered heavy damage.  The heavy cruiser 'Kangding' and the heavy cruiser 'Chongqing' were slightly damaged.  The light cruiser "Neijiang", the light cruiser "Yibin" and the light cruiser "Guangyuan" were sunk in the battle, the light cruiser "Zunyi" and the "Zigong" light cruiser were severely damaged, and most of the remaining light cruisers were injured.  As for destroyers, 7 were sunk, 5 were severely damaged, and 8 were left.  In terms of personnel, the Chinese Navy suffered 1,053 casualties, 121 serious injuries, and 556 minor injuries.  In this battle, the Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet also lost almost half of its strength. The severely damaged warships had to return to the mainland for repairs. The Pearl Harbor shipyard could only repair these lightly damaged warships.  In the next period of time, the Pacific Fleet can only use less than half of its combat power.  It can really be said that "killing the enemy by one thousand will cause you to lose eight hundred."  However, the U.S. Navy's west coast fleet has been basically wiped out, and the door to the U.S. west coast has been opened to China.  China can implement its next plan.

    "Chief of Staff, although we won this battle, we also suffered heavy losses! This is a huge lesson for us. The U.S. Navy has grown very fast in the past two years. With their strong industrial strength, Americans  It will develop again soon. Therefore, in this war, we must defeat the United States and further delay their development!" General Li Dingxin said solemnly.  The U.S. Navy currently has eight more advanced battleships under construction, and it is said that they will be able to enter service in the second half of next year.  Fortunately, the war broke out this year. If it were delayed until next year, the Pacific Fleet would be dead.

    "Well! The base camp will not let the United States go this time. The Army is ready to land in the United States. This time, the United States will definitely pay a huge price!" Lieutenant General Gao Yihai also said.  After two wars, China and the United States have become mortal enemies, and there will be no possibility of relief.  The United States' strong industrial strength will definitely pose a huge threat to China.  Therefore, in this war, it is very necessary for China to weaken the strength of the United States as much as possible.

    "Report the battle report to His Majesty and the base camp. I believe they are already waiting impatiently!" General Li Dingxin smiled.Tao.

    "Okay!" Lieutenant General Gao Yihai also had a smile on his face.  Although the losses were heavy, overall, the Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet won the battle.  The main force of the U.S. Navy has been completely wiped out, and the Pacific Fleet has successfully completed the combat missions assigned by the base camp.

    Beijing, Xinhua Palace, Wang Yuze¡¯s study.  The time at this time is exactly ten o'clock in the morning on June 16th.  Although he only slept for three or four hours last night, Wang Yuze was still full of energy.  However, his mood was not calm. Almost every moment, he would look at the clock on the wall and guess whether the naval battle in the Eastern Pacific was over.  Or look outside the door to see if the latest telegram has been delivered.

    Suddenly, Major General Wu Hao, the captain of the bodyguard, walked in with a happy face.

    "Your Majesty, I am very happy that the Pacific Fleet has defeated the U.S. Navy!" Admiral Wu Hao handed the telegram to Wang Yuze with a beaming face.

    "Haha! Great! I knew the victory must belong to us!" Wang Yuze laughed.  The Pacific Fleet defeated the U.S. Navy and once again demonstrated the strength of the Chinese Navy.  Moreover, this can be regarded as once again giving other countries a good deterrent.  The war between the Chinese Navy's home fleet and the combined fleets of Britain, France and Russia will soon break out.  The Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet defeated the main force of the U.S. Navy at this time, which is also a good sign!

    Wang Yuze took the telegram and read it, but slowly, his face became more and more serious.  The Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet has achieved victory, which is worthy of joy.  However, he did not expect that the losses would be so huge.  Two battleships were sunk, another one was severely damaged, and the rest were slightly injured. Although they were all old battleships, it made Wang Yuze very distressed.  One heavy cruiser was also sunk in the battle, two others were severely damaged, and those underneath were basically injured.  Light cruisers and destroyers suffered heavy losses.  Such losses allowed Wang Yuze to feel the difficulty of this naval battle.  It can be said that the Pacific Fleet paid a very heavy price in order to achieve this victory.

    Soon, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu, Minister of Navy Zhang Cheng, and Minister of National Defense Jiang Xingguo came together.  The faces of the three people were all filled with joy. It was obvious that they all knew the outcome of the naval battle.

    ¡°Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty!¡± the three of them said loudly together.

    "Same joy! Same joy! However, although we won, we also suffered a lot of losses! The Pacific Fleet lost thousands of people and lost almost half of its warships!" Wang Yuze couldn't help but sigh.

    "Your Majesty, when there is a war, there will be deaths. This is inevitable. Although the losses of the Pacific Fleet were great, their results were even greater. The main force of the US Navy has been completely wiped out by us. We can formulate the next step against the United States.  The battle plan is ready!" said Xiong Wu, Chief of General Staff.

    "Well! The next step is to send troops from Hawaii and land in the United States. Now that the main force of the U.S. Navy has been wiped out by us, they can no longer stop us from landing!" Wang Yuze said.  The U.S. Navy was destroyed, and the U.S. Army was trash.  Now is the time for China to deal with the United States.  However, next, a battle between the Home Fleet and the combined fleets of Britain, France, and Russia was about to break out.  All energy must be put on this.

    "Your Majesty, the Pacific Fleet has returned to Hawaii to rest. It is expected that in half a month, all lightly injured warships will return to combat effectiveness. At the same time, our transport ships will also arrive in Hawaii. By then, we can launch a landing operation against the United States.  !" Navy Minister Zhang Cheng also said.  It is foreseeable that Americans will definitely resist desperately.  When landing, naval support is indispensable.  Therefore, the landing operation against the United States must wait until the battleships of the Pacific Fleet are repaired.  The home fleet is about to have a decisive battle with the combined fleets of Britain, France and Russia, and there are simply no extra warships.  After that, a landing operation against Japan would have to be launched, and troops would be in short supply.

    "When will the battle between the Home Fleet and the combined fleets of Britain, France and Russia begin?" Wang Yuze asked.  This naval battle is the top priority.

    "Your Majesty, the joint fleet of Britain, France and Russia has passed through the Andaman Nicobar Islands, entered the Andaman Sea, and will enter the Strait of Malacca tomorrow. In this case, the battle between the home fleet and the joint fleet of Britain, France and Russia is expected to take place in a  It will break out in a few weeks!" said Navy Minister Zhang Cheng.

    "Is the local fleet ready? This decisive battle must be won!" Wang Yuze said seriously.

    "Your Majesty, don't worry, the local fleet is ready for battle. We will definitely win this battle!" Navy Minister Zhang Cheng assured!
