Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

¡ª¡ª    go¡ª¡ª>The connection between each link is smooth and natural, with no obstruction at all. The timing and timing are just right. From the beginning, the Third Fleet fell into the trap of the Chinese and lost its ships.  A fleet without carrier aircraft and anti-aircraft firepower is like a lamb to the slaughter, and can only be slaughtered by others.

    "Boom!" With a loud noise, a heavy aerial bomb fell on the flagship deck of the "Asahi". Sato saw with his own eyes that the main gun turret, protective steel plates and naval guns on the front deck flew into the air like air. This was just the beginning.  , one after another, aerial bombs continued to fall on the warship, with flames everywhere and black smoke filling the air. The huge warship was like being hit by a violent boxer, with its bows drawn left and right.

    As a veteran naval aviation commander, Sato knows all too well what the final result will be if a warship that has lost its protection and self-defense capabilities is repeatedly attacked by hundreds of bombers. This is just the beginning. Next, torpedo bombers  , level bombers, dive bombers, attack in turn, especially the torpedo bombers. Two torpedoes can send the "Asahi" into the boundless sea.

    Sato closed his eyes, and the earth-shattering explosions outside seemed to have faded away. He waited and waited for the warship under his feet to be lifted up by a strong force, and then suddenly fell back to the sea. The boundless sea water and darkness suddenly disappeared.  Submerging himself, at this moment, he actually felt a sense of relief, the calmness of facing death.  It is also the helplessness of being unable to change fate.

    The ship shook violently, and the adjutant stumbled to his side and whispered: "General, Commander-in-Chief Ito called. He asked about the current situation of the fleet? And, in his telegram, the Imperial Southeast Asia Expedition Force Air Force has taken off.  More than 300 fighter jets are rushing to the air combat area at full speed."

    Sato shook his head with a wry smile, sighed, and said to the adjutant: "Call back to Commander-in-Chief Ito. The fleet is being fiercely attacked by the bomber group of the Japanese Navy. It is only a matter of time before everyone is shattered. Thank you Commander-in-Chief for your great help."  After giving the order, he murmured to himself as if dreaming, "What are you doing here? Are you here to watch the Imperial Navy's jokes?"

    Sato is an expert in fighter jets taking off from Hainan Island Airport.  It will take more than an hour at the fastest to reach the airspace of the Andaman Sea, this time.  The Chinese bombers were able to blow up the Third Fleet twice. When the Army's fighter jets arrived, they could only see the oil stains on the sea and the corpses of sailors floating with the current, not even the wreckage of the warships.

    Sato, who was already prepared to die, calmed down. He asked his adjutant expressionlessly, "How many warships do we have left that have not been sunk? Are the three aircraft carriers still there?" Knowing that it was the result of the annihilation of the entire army,  He couldn't help but ask.  It's subconscious.

    The adjutant replied: "Commander, so far, although our warships have been seriously injured, they are all superficially damaged. None of them have sunk, including the three aircraft carriers, and the power system has not been damaged and can still be maintained.  Sailing, it¡¯s just that the Chinese bombers¡¯ main target is the troop transport fleet, and the main attack is concentrated there!¡±

    Sato suddenly stood up and asked in disbelief: "What? None of our warships were sunk? Did you read that correctly?" Sato was confused again.  Nearly a thousand fighter jets and bombers attacked the Third Fleet in the Andaman Sea for more than two and a half hours, but did not sink a single warship. Who can believe it?

    Is it just for the troop transport fleet?  Unreasonable, from both a military and political perspective, the value and influence of killing the Third Fleet is greater than that of a mere hundred civilian ships. Although there are four divisions of infantry on it, it can't compete with the empire's warships.  Is it on par with the entire Third Fleet?

    Sato's head shook like a rattle, "Don't comfort me, the matter is over, I can accept any result, and I am ready to live or die with the fleet."

    Seeing that Sato did not believe what he said, the adjutant picked up a telescope, handed it to Sato's hand, and said: "Commander, if you see it with your own eyes, you will understand everything." Sato looked over from the command room, and the entire Third Fleet could be  They were in a state of disarray, with every warship emitting billowing black smoke, and the three aircraft carriers he was most concerned about were no exception. It was heart-wrenching to watch.

    However, judging from the navigation status of the warship, it was obvious that it had not suffered serious damage. Although it was very embarrassing to avoid the bombs falling from the sky, it still moved quickly, dashed left and right, and tried its best. Ito put down the telescope and his eyes flashed.  Straight, he murmured to himself: "It's impossible. How come none of them were sunk? After more than two hours of attacks and bombings, did the Chinese fighter jets not carry torpedoes?"

    Sato absolutely did not believe that the China Aviation Commander who designed such a perfect combat plan would make such a low-level mistake. There were no torpedo bombers in the bomber formation, but it happened. Although the imperial warships were knocked around??, but none of them became a pile of scrap metal on the bottom of the Andaman Sea. It is simply a miracle!

    ¡°If we have to find a reason to explain this miracle, it can only be the appearance of Amaterasu and His Majesty the Emperor¡¯s blessing. But does Sato believe this nonsense?  He didn't know it himself. Hearing General Sato's muttering to himself, the adjutant rolled his eyes and was speechless, "What do you mean? Does the Third Fleet have to be killed by Chinese bombers to kill a few warships, Commander, will you feel normal?"  To be satisfied? Who is this? His mind is broken like Commander Kiyoshi Hasegawa, right?"

    If Sato knew that Tang Qiuli, who was commanding this major battle in a simple house in a small town northwest of Yangon, had regarded the Third Fleet as his own, he would be able to fully understand the current situation of the Third Fleet.  How can you be willing to beat your own things to death?

    Sato shook his head. For the first time in his life, he felt that he did not have enough brain power to explain this weirdness. He looked through the telescope in the direction of the troop transport fleet. The adjutant was right. That was where the China bombers would focus their attacks. From him,  Looking at it from a certain angle, in the sky, no less than a hundred bombers of the Japanese Army were dropping bombs and diving in turns, stirring up water columns on the sea.

    In order to avoid such ferocious bombings, my own warships stayed far away from these troop transport ships, for fear that the bombs would fall on me because they didn't have eyes. What's more, there were bombers from the Japanese Army who came to take care of them from time to time. Although  The accuracy is not very good, but if an aerial bomb falls, a burst of fire and smoke will appear. This is all that can be seen, and the more specific details cannot be seen clearly.

    In fact, even without looking clearly, Sato knew what kind of tragic scene it was. An unarmed civilian ship without the ability to defend itself in front of a bomber was no different than a young beauty in front of a group of tough men. It could only be ravaged.  Without the power to resist, the Third Fleet was too busy to take care of itself, and was in the position of being beaten. If it still had the ability to protect civilian ships, those infantrymen could only hope for their own good.

    Sato doesn¡¯t care about the fate of the infantrymen on the troop carrier, and he has no time to care. It¡¯s a joke. He is almost drowning, so he still cares about others capsizing?  Although they were also soldiers of the empire, he was considering the next step for the Third Fleet.

    It was rare that Le Yiqin did not lead the first echelon in person to fight against the Southeast Asian Expeditionary Force Air Force, a group of fighter jets taking off from Hainan Island. This was not a good choice for Le Yiqin, who was used to fighting face to face and watched the Japs' planes explode into pieces in front of her eyes.  , very uncomfortable, but he had to stay at the control tower of Myitkyina Airport.

    At present, the battlefield has been divided into two parts. Le Yiqin is not worried about the final attack on the third fleet. The little Japanese warship has been disarmed. It is just a piece of meat on the chopping board, and it can be done with any knife.  The only thing that worried him was that the bomber pilots would get jealous and send all the Japanese warships to the bottom of the sea. In that case, wouldn't the division commander skin him?

    The second battlefield is when the first echelon fights against a group of Jaap fighter jets coming from the direction of Hainan Island. Although it has an advantage in the number of fighter jets, it is not a big advantage. This is a head-to-head air battle. The entire operation is due to this accident.  As factors emerge, battle losses will increase a lot, but this is a battle that must be fought.

    Otherwise, the bomber group on its way back would be overtaken by the Japs' fighter group halfway, and if they were not completely annihilated, the losses would definitely be beyond imagination. It seemed that when formulating the entire battle plan, I still considered it.  It is not comprehensive and misses a key link. No wonder the division commander always warns himself, "You are the commander, you should consider the battle issues from an overall perspective, and don't always think about charging, killing, etc. for your own pleasure!"  "

    Le Yiqin felt a little guilty, and her mood became more and more irritable. A communications staff officer came over and said, "Commander, the division commander is calling you!" Le Yiqin was stunned. At this time, what was the division commander looking for?  According to the habits of the division commander, after the battle starts, if there is no emergency or there is a major change in the enemy's situation, it will not interfere with the normal command of the front-line commander.

    Le Yiqin arrived at the communication room and picked up the red telephone receiver, "Teacher, this is Le Yiqin. Do you have any important instructions?"

    On the other end of the phone, Tang Qiuli laughed heartily and said: "Yiqin, my confidence seems to be a little lacking. It's rare that you didn't deafen my ears during the call. Japanese aircraft have increased their troops in the Andaman Sea.  How about it, can you bear it? Don¡¯t worry about it. In war, people will die. Of course, as a good commander, you must minimize the casualties of the soldiers. "
