    Major General Haneda has not planned to come back since he led the team into the air. All the assets of the Kwantung Army aviation force are in the sky. If he cannot deal a devastating blow to the independent division's troop carrier formation, escort fleet and escort aircraft group, he will  He had no face to see Commander-in-Chief Nanjiro again. His own plan was to fly his plane directly into the troop transport ship of the Independent Division, causing heavy casualties to the Chinese people at the cost of a fighter jet and his own life. It was worth it!

    Major General Haneda not only planned to do this himself, he also required all pilots, whether fighter pilots or bomber pilots, to have such courage to move forward. Before taking off, he gave a lecture to all pilots, "Warriors of the Empire,  The time has come to test our loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan. Just now, I received a report from Major Xiao Zhao, acting commander of the Imperial Bohai Cruise Fleet. Hundreds of troop transport ships carrying Chinese soldiers, more than ten Chinese  The warships are rushing toward the Liaodong Peninsula on the Bohai Sea! "

    "The enemy is coming fiercely, and in the air, there will definitely be an escort group of the Independent Division Aviation Northern Flying Group. That is our old opponent. The number of fighter jets exceeds ours. The enemy is powerful, but we are fighting for the empire.  The eagle in the sky is not afraid of any powerful enemy. Today, we will use the brave fighting spirit of the imperial eagle to deal a fatal blow to the enemy who dares to invade!¡±

    "Gentlemen, the Imperial Bohai Cruise Fleet, with dozens of old warships, dares to launch a desperate attack on the China Fleet that is several times larger than itself. They know it very well. What is the result of the attack? - Yu Sui, all Yu Sui  . The purpose is to create advantageous fighters for the aviation team!¡±

    "Warriors of the Empire, we are flying the Empire's most advanced fighter jets and bombers. Don't we still have the fearless spirit of our naval colleagues? They dare to use their warships and their own flesh and blood to ram the enemy's warships without hesitation.  Don't we dare to fight with the independent division's troop transport ships? No, we have nothing to fear! I ordered all pilots not to get involved with the independent division's fighter jets during the air battle, but to cause serious damage to the independent division's troop transport ship formation.  The purpose is to kill!¡±

    "The fighter group, try your best to cover the bomber group for bombing. Once your own plane is hit, don't try to parachute. You must turn yourself and the fighter plane into a powerful bomb, blooming on the heads of those inferior Chinese people.  Brilliant cherry blossoms! Long live the Japanese Empire! Long live the Emperor!¡±

    At the airport, there were more than a thousand Japanese pilots.  The words of Major General Haneda incited the beast's blood to boil, and the howling of wolves shouting "long live" filled every corner of the airport, full of people who wanted to fight right away.  The independent division's troop transport fleet was blown up and sank in the Bohai Sea.  Major General Haneda's words directly turned the Japanese pilots into a group of desperadoes!

    Now, these murderous desperadoes are coming to the battlefield, and Tang Qiuquan's previous worries have become a reality.

    It was already about six o'clock in the morning on June 20th. On the Bohai Sea, the eastern sky was already dawning. Everything on the sea, as the night faded, revealed its true appearance. A two-seater reconnaissance aircraft of the Independent Division.  Passing over the Shedao Islands at low altitude, the assistant sitting behind was searching the sea between the islands with a telescope. Suddenly, he trembled and said hurriedly: "Captain, we found the Japanese fleet on the Shedao Islands.  In the sea area between them, preliminary observation shows that there are more than thirty ships!¡±

    "Hahaha! It finally surfaced. Liu Cuigang's intelligence work was not solid. There are more than thirty Japanese warships in the Northeast Sea. This is a new discovery! They annihilated a Japanese fleet with them.  , is also a bonus! ¡ª¡ªIt¡¯s not easy to ambush me!" Tang Qiuquan laughed, put the information sent back by the reconnaissance plane, and said to the chief of staff, Major General Xin Xiguo.

    "Xi Guo, the land-based aircraft group of the Kwantung Army Air Force will be dealt with by the escort aircraft group. Convey my order. The carrier-based aircraft unit is ready to take off. Two fast gunboat brigades will meet the enemy. They must be wiped out. The escort fleet has been established.  The mission remains unchanged, not participating in naval battles, the main task is to protect the troop transport fleet! More than thirty unknown Japanese warships are not worthy of my aircraft carrier battle group! The comparison between small boats and large ships is speed and firepower.  "Our ship-borne rocket launchers are enough for a Japanese warship to drink a cup!" Tang Qiuquan ordered.

    Whether it is Tang Qiuquan who calmly faces the enemy, or Major General Haneda, the commander of the Kwantung Army Air Force who grits his teeth and fights for his life, the three-party military forces are about to have a fierce battle in the Bohai Sea. The most disturbing thing is the Manchukuo Bohai Cruise Fleet  The interim commander is Major Xiao Zhao.

    He stood on the bridge of the command ship, holding up the telescope, his heart beating wildly. He looked at the dark sea surface, where the Independent Division troop transports and warships were approaching the sea area where he was ambushing step by step, and his heart was so nervous.  It almost jumped out!

    "In about ten minutes, we will be ambushing in the west of Shedao Islands.The warships in the northern waters should launch an attack!  " He muttered in his heart, staring at the formation of independent division warships and troop carriers without blinking his eyes. What surprised him was that there was an aircraft carrier among them. If the aircraft carrier of the independent division fleet was rammed and sunk, it would be  What a sensational feat! His name will be praised by the local people!

    The wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Major Xiao Zhao, who was about to take a bite first and then go for his life, suddenly discovered that the independent division's troop carrier formation and escort fleet suddenly changed direction just when they were approaching the ambush sea area.  , drawing a huge arc on the sea, far away from the ambush area. What's even more annoying is that the independent division's troop carrier formation and escort fleet are just outside the gun range of their own fleet!

    "Baga! Cunning Chinese! They all deserve to die!" Major Xiao Zhao was so angry that he almost went crazy. Not to mention the junk warships he commanded, even the large-caliber naval guns on the latest warships of the Imperial Navy could not fire shells.  After shooting so far, the roar of planes passing by in the sky told him that after the sky lightened up, the fleet hiding among the islands and reefs would inevitably be exposed to the independent division's reconnaissance planes.  Escape!

    The planned offensive tactics were ineffective in an instant. A desperate glare appeared in Major Xiao Zhao's eyes, "I am Major Xiao Zhao, the acting commander of the fleet. Now we are fierce. All the warships of the Imperial Bohai Cruise Fleet immediately mobilized with the highest authority.  Attack at a high speed, directly charge into the Chinese ship formation, sink them, use the fearless spirit of the Imperial Navy, and use the lives of the Imperial warriors to turn into flames on the Bohai Sea, attacking for the sake of the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor!  !¡±

    More than thirty dilapidated warships of Manchukuo's Bohai Sea cruise fleet immediately rushed out from behind the islands and reefs where they were hiding, emitting black smoke and making the noise of broken cars. They were immediately visible on the radar screen of the escort fleet.  , there were more than thirty bright spots. In fact, without using radar, Tang Qiuquan, who was standing on the control tower, could clearly see through the high-power telescope that he was rushing over with thick smoke and an outlaw-like momentum.  of Japanese warships.

    "Xi Guo, the Japanese are really good at it. There are more than thirty warships lurking among these islands and reefs. If you are not prepared, you may really suffer a hidden loss! The improvised ones still have the original structure.  We didn't find it. Please communicate with the Division Intelligence Office to find out the details of this fleet!" Tang Qiuquan said calmly.

    Rear Admiral Xin Xiguo, chief of staff of the fleet, put down his telescope, smiled disdainfully, and replied: "Commander, there is no need to bother. Within an hour, this Japanese fleet will cease to exist. You see, the Japanese warships,  From the tonnage to the speed, they are probably old products from the First World War. And judging from their offensive formation, it is not a naval battle tactic at all, but a desperate posture. We have two fast gunboat brigades and two ship-borne rocket launchers.  After a round of volleys, there are just a few more piles of scrap metal on the bottom of the sea!¡±

    "Go all out! - The old Japanese tactics. Now, even their navy has adopted this style of play. Judging from the time when the Kwantung Army Air Force fleet took off and the time when this inexplicable fleet appeared, the Kwantung Army Air Force  There should be a coordinated operation plan between the fleet and this fleet, ordering the troop transport formation and escort fleet to continue sailing according to the established goals without being affected by the naval battle!" Tang Qiuquan pointed out the key to the problem in a few words,  and issued corresponding orders.

    A brilliant orange-red color first appeared in the eastern sky, and then, a bright sunrise suddenly jumped up in the depths of the sea, rendering the vast blue Bohai Bay even more magnificent.  A dramatic staff scene appeared on the Bohai Sea. A huge formation of hundreds of troop transports and warships sailed leisurely on the sea. The huge bow plowed through the sea water and stirred up waves.

    On the flanks of the fleet, more than 30 Japanese warships, emitting black smoke, were rushing over desperately. On the sea between the two, more than 60 speedboats, like nimble swallows, glided on the sparkling waves.  On the sea, white waves were drawn from the stern of the boat. Two fleets of fast gunboats were facing the enemy. Although the tonnage of the gunboats seemed small compared with the Japanese warships, their momentum was much higher than that of the Japanese warships rushing over.  many!

    "Hani? A gunboat of the China fleet?" Major Xiao Zhao put down his telescope and said in surprise. He didn't understand why the warships of the independent division's escort fleet did not come to intercept his own fleet. Instead, they were sent in front of the warships. They were undoubtedly small gunboats.  Coming to fight, this unexpected change occurred in the desire to directly hit the independent division ship formation. However, Major Xiao Zhao obviously did not take these independent division gunboats with a negligible tonnage in his eyes.

    "Every ship, please pay attention. Use the most violent artillery fire to sink the China gunboats and attack the enemy ship formations in the shortest time. The order remains unchanged!" Major Xiao Zhao gave the order.
