    Vice Admiral Narumi Inoue, commander of the Fourth Fleet of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet, looked as ugly as a dead man at this moment. His thinking almost stopped. The carrier-based aircraft on the take-off deck of the four aircraft carriers were destroyed by the carrier-based aircraft of the China Independent Division.  The situation was happening right in front of his eyes. He knew that the Fourth Fleet was finished, and no one could save him here and now!

    Without the need for reconnaissance by the radar department, Lieutenant General Inoue also knew that not far from the Fourth Fleet, there must be a fleet of China's independent division approaching, destroying his remaining 80 or so carrier-based aircraft.  That's where the aircraft group took off from!

    After Tang Yunfei commanded the carrier-based fighter group and killed the remaining eighty or so Japanese carrier-based aircraft, the Fourth Fleet had basically lost the ability to fight back. The independent division fleet bomber group using the tactics of peeling bamboo shoots on the periphery destroyed one  The heavy aerial bombs were accurately dropped on the Japanese warships. On the water, the torpedoes dragged white waves, like agile swimming fish, and rammed into the Japanese warships.  ¡ü

    "Boom! Boom! - Boom!" The huge explosions echoed on the waters of the Solomon Islands. Japanese warships were smoking and catching fire. The Fourth Fleet of the Japanese Navy, which had lost its carrier-based aircraft, was completely transformed at this moment.  The target of the independent division fleet's carrier-based aircraft massacre.

    Tang Yunfei commanded the carrier-based fighter group to attack from the inside out. Although it could not cause fatal damage to the Japanese warships, it disrupted the deployment of Japanese air defense firepower. Flaws and gaps appeared one by one, which in turn created problems for the bomber group.  Given the opportunity, the Japanese Fourth Fleet's air defense firepower network was torn to pieces, and the carrier-based fighter group completed the mission.  Take the opportunity to get out of the fire net.

    Tang Yunfei's fighter plane circled in the sky for a week.  Looking at the sea full of smoke and flames, he reported: "Joint Operations Command. I am Tang Yunfei, commander of the carrier-based aircraft group. The raid was successful and all remaining carrier-based aircraft of the Admiral's Fourth Fleet have been eliminated. Now, the bomber group  They are attacking Japanese warships from the outside and have disrupted the Japanese formation! "

    "Okay!" Tang Qiuquan, who received the report, shouted in a rare rude manner, and at the same time, he slammed his fist on the table.  After putting down the phone, he said to Deputy Commander Amosiev and Chief of Staff Xin Xiguo with a smile: "The first assault fleet completed its scheduled mission. Tang Yunfei did a good job and removed the last remaining bit of the Fourth Fleet."  Erfangs are attacking Japanese warships!¡±

    Both Amosyev and Xin Xiguo¡¯s eyes shone with joy. The progress and results of the Solomon Islands campaign were smoother than expected. They destroyed the carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese Fourth Fleet.  All that's left is the final encirclement and annihilation.

    Tang Qiuquan was so happy that he grinned from ear to ear and said: "You two, the carrier-based aircraft unit has won the jackpot! It is our warship's turn to do the rest of the work. My plan is to empty the carrier-based aircraft of ammunition.  After that, start returning and launch a second attack to catch up with the Japanese fourth fleet as quickly as possible and kill it completely!"

    The fleet is now about an hour and a half away from the location of the Japanese Navy's Fourth Fleet. In normal times, it would not be easy to catch up, but it is different now. Carrier-based aircraft have disrupted the Japanese Fourth Fleet's formation.  , severely damaging them and delaying their actions is the best opportunity to annihilate them all.

    In terms of the number of main warships, the independent division fleet now has an absolute advantage, and it also has the largest killer carrier-based aircraft force at hand. Taking morale factors into account, Tang Qiuquan has a 100% chance of a warship-on-warship naval battle.  Be sure to kill the Japanese Fourth Fleet.

    "Okay, I agree with the commander's plan!" Amosiyev was even more eager and said: "However, I have a request. Please allow me to command the first formation of the fleet to fight!"

    Tang Qiuquan said with a smile: "I know you can't bear it anymore, okay, I'll leave the first round of the fleet's offensive mission to you!"

    On the waters of the Solomon Islands, more than a hundred warships of the independent division fleet rushed towards the sea area where the Japanese Fourth Fleet was located at full speed in battle formation. The bows of the warships split the sea water and stirred up white waves.  The tail dragged out a long wave, and the first formation commanded by Lieutenant General Amosiev rushed to the front.

    The fleet carrier-based aircraft group commanded by Tang Yunfei began to return, leaving behind more than 20 Japanese warships burning, exploding, and catching fire on the sea. However, the troop carrier formation in the middle of the Fourth Fleet still did not encounter any attacks.  The attack was carried out in two rounds, but the troop transport ship was unscathed, which is considered lucky.

    "However, the attack just now was especially the smoke.  The tragic sight of the four aircraft carriers on fire greatly stimulated the nerves of the Japanese soldiers. Boundless fear has flooded the hearts of more than 50,000 Japanese soldiers. There are even some Japanese soldiers who cannot bear the fear in their hearts and ignore it.  After being stopped and scolded by the officer, he jumped into the sea and was immediately swallowed up by the sea water.

    The Fourth FleetIn the command cabin of the flagship "Kashima", Lieutenant General Inoue sat in a chair in despair. His thinking was confused and he didn't even know what he was thinking. Major General Anzai, the chief of staff of the base, came in and said: "Commander, according to the  After sending out the telegram requesting your help, Commander Nagumo Chuichi called back! "

    After being attacked by the independent division fleet's carrier-based aircraft group, Commander Inoue felt like he was in the clear mind. Without reinforcements, the Fourth Fleet would definitely be annihilated. Even if those warships caught fire and exploded, only the undamaged warships would be left.  , approaching northern Australia at the fastest speed, there is no way to escape this fate. No matter how fast the warship is, can any plane run faster?

    Therefore, after hearing the words of Chief of Staff Anzai, Inoue's dull eyes finally became alive. He hoped that Nagumo Chuichi could find some way to rescue the Fourth Fleet, and hurriedly grabbed the telegram from Chief of Staff Anzai, and quickly  's look.

    Then, his face turned gray, and the content of the telegram was as follows, "I have heard about the call. I am very surprised! The China Independent Division fleet has been dormant for a long time. It is really surprising that it suddenly appeared in the waters of the Solomon Islands. From this, we can draw a conclusion.  , The Chinese devil Tang Qiuli has a grand plan and intends to completely annihilate the Fourth Fleet! "

    ¡°I now order Vice Admiral Narumi Inoue, commander of the Fourth Fleet, to fully carry forward the heroic and fearless fighting spirit of the Imperial Japanese Navy officers and the determination and courage to show up for the Imperial Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor, and must persist in the waters of the Solomon Islands.  For more than three days, I have ordered the main force of the combined fleet to rush over as quickly as possible to reinforce you! "

    "Analyzed from another perspective, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to destroy the China Independent Division fleet. Use this opportunity to entangle the China Independent Division fleet in the waters of the Solomon Islands. Our combined fleet will completely wipe out the enemy and create opportunities. For this reason, even if  The Fourth Fleet suffered heavy losses, and the commander, Vice Admiral Narumi Inoue, was also responsible!¡±

    General Nagumo Chuichi had a good idea. The combined fleet had a strong combat capability, but no trace of the independent division fleet could be found. The navy's opponent should be the navy, not the enemies on land. It just so happened that the independent division fleet had the idea.  Hitting the head of the Fourth Fleet, it actually answered that sentence. I couldn't find you, but you jumped out on your own initiative, allowing Admiral Nagumo to see the perfect opportunity to kill the independent division fleet.

    Admiral Nagumo Chuichi believes that with the strength of the Fourth Fleet and the commanding ability of Inoue Narumi, there will be no problem in drawing a tie with the China Independent Division Fleet, let alone entangling it in the waters of the Solomon Islands. It will be very easy.  Task.

    Afraid that Inoue Narumi was timid or lacked confidence, Admiral Nagumo also used some tricks to ensure that even if all the Fourth Fleet was used up, he could mainly entangle the independent division fleet in the waters of the Solomon Islands, and jointly  The main force of the fleet arrived three days later, and the result was completely different. You can't get away with being rewarded for your meritorious service!

    This is also to blame for Lieutenant General Inoue Narumi. When he sent the request for help, he did not report to Nagumo the loss of all the carrier-based aircraft of the Fourth Fleet and the loss of more than 20 warships.  General Zhongyi, which led him to have such optimistic estimates.

    "Three days?" Lieutenant General Inoue laughed miserably. The current Fourth Fleet may not be able to hold on for even three hours. Three hours is enough for the independent division fleet's carrier-based aircraft group to launch two attacks. Two  After the first attack, he didn't know how many combat-effective warships the Fourth Fleet would have left. What's more, there was an independent division fleet that appeared at some point!

    Vice Admiral Inoue silently tore up the telegram and said to Chief of Staff Anzai: "Nagumo Chuichi's telegram is just a piece of waste paper. The main force of the combined fleet is beyond the reach of us and cannot save us. Anzai-kun, please convey the command of the headquarters!"

    "The entire fourth fleet immediately changed course, formed a battle formation, and fought to the end with the chasing China Independent Division fleet until they were all broken into pieces!" Knowing that running was useless, he simply turned around and fought for his life!

    Chief of Staff Anxi felt miserable. He knew that Commander Inoue's decision was correct, but there was still one thing that needed to be resolved, so he said: "Commander, the main force of the fleet can fight the China fleet at all costs, but the troop carrier formation  Woolen cloth?"

    "Disengage from the formation and sail towards the east coast of Australia at full speed!" Lieutenant General Inoue said in a hollow voice. "With all the members of the Fourth Fleet, we can hold back the pursuing China Independent Division fleet and buy time for the troop transport formation. This is our only option.  If you can do it, for the rest, just pray for the blessing of Amaterasu!¡±

    An hour later, the independent division fleet's carrier-based aircraft group, which had been refueled and loaded with sufficient ammunition, swarmed in again, surrounded the Fourth Fleet, which had changed its course, and hit the independent division fleet in the past.  All around.

    Tang Yunfei's eyes were looking at the sea in the distance. He called out: "Wingman, follow me!" Then, the fighter planeHe increased his power, broke away from the battle circle, and flew southwest. He saw a huge fleet sailing at full speed in the opposite direction of the Japanese Fourth Fleet.
