    Tang Qiuquan was very happy because he had obtained four captured Japanese aircraft carriers. What the fleet lacked now was aircraft carriers. The four aircraft carriers ordered from the Germans would not be delivered until two years later. However, with the development of the Southwest Pacific Campaign, the division commander and himself  , obviously can¡¯t wait.  ¦æ

    After receiving the four semi-disabled aircraft carriers, the next step was to repair and refit them. In this regard, he had already had a goal in mind. Tang Qiuquan said to Xin Xiguo, Chief of Staff of the Fleet, with a smile on his face: "Xi Guo, please send electricity to Director Wang Xu of the Border Military Industry Bureau.  Report, ask him to bring those precious experts to Yangon to see the four big guys we just got! This time, let the people from the Military Industry Bureau work hard! "

    With the arrival of daytime, the remnants of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet, which had endured a night of bombing, once again faced hard days. After resting all night, the pilots who had no chance to participate in the night bombing were vigorous, energetic, and full of energy.  He was so excited that he wanted to fight.

    Moreover, there was no need to worry about the carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese fleet in this attack. After a day and night of fierce fighting, the Japanese warships also experienced a shortage of ammunition for their anti-aircraft weapons. When the Independent Division's Southern Flying Group and the fleet's carrier-based aircraft group,  When they once again appeared in the sky above the escaping Japanese warships, all the Japanese officers and soldiers fell into despair. In their eyes, these Chinese pilots were all devil-like people.

    The attack began, and the Banda Sea area was once again shrouded in artillery smoke. However, after a long period of consumption, the anti-aircraft firepower of the Japanese warships became obviously sparse. The Japanese warships on the sea were like moving targets.

    The Southern Flying Group aircraft fleet and the fleet carrier-based aircraft fleet attacked in turns.  By nightfall, the main force of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet consisted of hundreds of warships of various types.  There are less than a hundred warships left, and most of them bear battle wounds.  At night, the two night flight groups that had come back from rest took over the attack, and they launched another ferocious attack all night long.

    Chasing all the way, fighting all the way, attacking day and night, whizzing overhead all the time, dropping heavy aerial bombs, and spraying dense rain of bullets, the independent division fighters and bombers have become the target of all officers and soldiers of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet.  nightmare.  In the Banda Sea, there were constant explosions all day and night. Even at night, Japanese warships that burned out and caught fire were everywhere, and the fire lit up the sea.

    The Southern Flying Group and the fleet's carrier-based aircraft group fought continuously for three days and three nights. The Japanese Navy combined fleet in the waters near the Southwest Islands from the south of the Banda Sea to the northern exit of Australia.  Finally reaching the end, the last Japanese warship sank to the bottom of the Banda Sea amid a burst of smoke, fire and violent explosions.  The explosions and gunfire finally subsided, and the smoke on the sea and in the sky was gradually blown away by the sea breeze.

    The Battle of Banda Sea is over.  The main force of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet consists of more than 700 warships of various types.  In the end, they all disappeared into the sea, and Le Yiqin led the attack.  He leveled the fighter plane, closed his bloodshot eyes, and two strings of tears fell down his cheeks, suppressing his sobs.

    At this moment, all the pilots of the attack aircraft group were silent. The formation communication channel in the commander's fighter plane was not closed. All the pilots heard the commander's strangled sobs, and all the pilots couldn't help sobbing.

    In just a minute or two, Le Yiqin wiped away the tears on her face, adjusted her mood, and shouted loudly: "Why are you crying! Are you still a man? The work is all done, let's do it  Be quick and tidy! Brothers, return now! There will be enough food and wine for the dinner tonight, and I have given special permission not to return drunk except for the troops on duty!"

    There was a sudden burst of cheers in the aircraft formation communication channel, which filled Le Yiqin¡¯s ears.  .  .  .  .  .

    In the command cabin of the fleet's flagship, Tang Qiuquan, Amosiev and others were listening quietly to the sounds coming from the speakers, and were also sharing the joy of their comrades. Their hearts were filled with excitement. The biggest enemy of the independent division fleet was also  The enemy that put the greatest pressure on the commander, the main force of the Japanese naval combined fleet, no longer exists, and the remaining two Japanese fleets cannot survive the weather at all.

    The current independent division fleet can freely enter and exit the vast Pacific waters without having to hide from the Japanese fleet as before and feel proud. This is the unanimous idea of ????the fleet from top to bottom, from generals to ordinary sailors!

    More than two hours later, commanding the Sulu Mobile Corps and the troops directly under the corps, they had already attacked Tang Qiuli in the Kimberley Plateau in Western Australia. They received a telegram jointly sent by Tang Qiuquan and Le Yiqin. The content of the telegram was very short and very detailed.  Simple, "Report to the division commander, the Southern Flying Group and the fleet joined forces. After three days and nights of fierce fighting, they completely annihilated the main force of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet in the Banda Sea. They sank more than 700 Japanese warships of various types and captured more than 20.  , including four aircraft carriers!¡±

    Looking at the telegram, Tang Qiu leftThe soldier began to tremble. Ever since the Independent Division troops left the country, few things had made him lose his composure. But this time, the Battle of Banda Sea led by Le Yiqin really made him lose his composure.

    If fighting on land, Tang Qiuli would not be so excited if any regiment of the Independent Division wiped out tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops at once, but this time it was obviously different. The Japanese Navy's combined fleet was hanging on the Independent Division.  A sharp knife on the head of the army, a huge stone weighing on his heart,

    Because of the existence of this behemoth, Tang Qiuli did not dare to send a fleet to fight in the Eastern Pacific. He was always worried about the maritime logistics supply line in the East Indian Ocean, for fear that the behemoth would rush over, and he did not dare to mobilize Jiang Yanming's regiment.  Crossing the sea south with Yuan Jinghao's regiment, stabbing the Australian Japanese army in the back, they were afraid that the blood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the independent division would stain the waters of the Timor Sea and the Arafura Sea red.

    Now, everything no longer exists. In the Battle of Australia, you can fight however you want. Tang Qiuli's face lit up, and he looked at the Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe who was also grinning from ear to ear.  Director Ge Zhengang said loudly: "What an unprecedented victory! It swept away the previous gloom and changed the situation of the entire Australian battlefield. Le Yiqin deserves the most credit!"

    "Yu He, in the name of the division commander, issued an army-wide order to commend the Southern Flying Group and the fleet, and asked them to immediately report the list of meritorious personnel in the Battle of Banda Sea. Those who should be rewarded should be promoted to military ranks.  In addition, in the telegram to Le Yiqin, I specially approved that all the pilots of the Southern Flying Group participating in the war can drink wine for dinner tonight! "

    Zhao Yuhe told Ge Zhenzhuang a few words, and Ge Zhenzhuang left happily. Tang Qiuli said to Zhao Yuhe: "Send a telegram to Commander Tang of the fleet, and take advantage of the victory in the Battle of Banda Sea to proactively find the fifth Japanese army."  The fleet engages in a decisive battle with the Sixth Fleet, completely erasing the name of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet in one fell swoop! At the same time, it attacks the Australian Japanese army¡¯s maritime logistics supply line!¡±

    "Send a telegram to Yuan Jinghao and Jiang Yanming. From now on, your department will begin pre-war preparations for crossing the sea to fight on the Australian battlefield, and wait for the next order from the division commander!"

    Zhao Yuhe left in a hurry, and Tang Qiuli walked around in the tent. He didn't know how to express his excitement and excitement at the moment, and kept mumbling, "Le Yiqin  Well done! ¡ª¡ªThe award!¡±

    The weak point of the independent division lies in the navy. The biggest opponent is the Japanese navy. This has always been a hidden worry in Tang Qiuli's heart. Otherwise, he would not have spent money to purchase a large number of navy, including four aircraft carriers, from the Germans.  Equipment, but the development of the navy is not something that can be achieved overnight. It requires accumulation. The Japanese navy has been accumulated for many years and is a real behemoth.

    Therefore, the vast Pacific Ocean has always been a place he dared not set foot in. The Navy's financial resources are too weak to afford an attack, and he dare not easily mention the attack on the Japanese mainland. The Japanese islands surrounded by the sea will not be solved unless Japan is defeated.  The combined naval fleet is almost like a forbidden area.

    Now, four-fifths of this behemoth opponent's strength has been defeated. The remaining two fleets are unlikely to be successful. Even if the Japanese become pants, they will not be able to form another similar fleet in a short period of time.  The combined fleet, besides, do the Japanese still have pants to use?

    The significance of the Battle of the Banda Sea cannot be described in words. It is enough to change all strategic situations in the Southwest Pacific battlefield since then. In particular, it has cut off the maritime logistics supply line of the Australian Japanese army. There is no suspense about Australia's victory in the decisive battle.

    In the waters of the Solomon Islands, the Fifth Fleet and the Sixth Fleet of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, which were still under orders to pursue the Independence Division fleet, suddenly received a telegram from the main force of the Combined Fleet from the Banda Sea. After reading the telegram, the Commander of the Fifth Fleet  Lieutenant General Guan Xixuan Wuzilang and Lieutenant General Shimizu Mitsumi, commander of the Sixth Fleet, were stunned for a moment, with cold sweat dripping down their spines.

    The main force of the combined fleet was surrounded in the Banda Sea. Fleet Commander Nagumo Tadashi, Admiral Tamaki, Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Matsuda, Acting Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Watanabe Tamaki. A series of bad news shocked Lieutenant General Hosei Goshiro and Shimizu Mitsumi.  The lieutenant general's eyes were filled with stars, he was dizzy, his hand holding the telegram was shaking like a convulsion, and his mind went blank.

    The two Japanese fleet commanders could not imagine how the main force of the huge combined fleet was surrounded by the Chinese Independent Division in the Banda Sea. They pursued fiercely and wanted to destroy the independent division fleet, but now it appeared in the Banda Sea.  The sea area participated in the siege of the main force of the combined fleet. The changes were so fast that the two vice-admiral commanders did not know what to do?

    As for the response in the Timor Sea and Arafura Sea in northern Australia, from a time point of view, it is simply too late. Moreover, with the current strength of the Fifth Fleet and the Sixth Fleet, they can handle the attack.The main force of the attacking combined fleet came out from the encirclement of the China Independent Division. Both Lieutenant General Xixuan Wuzilang and Lieutenant General Shimizu Mitsumi expressed serious doubts?
