Age of Rebirth

Tang Yunfei's fighter plane flew extremely low, and caught up with the fleet in the blink of an eye. It was clear that the fleet was unarmed ships, and one could even see the panicked Japanese soldiers running around on the deck. .

Probably because they were frightened by the two independent division fighter jets flying at low altitude and chasing after them. Many Japanese soldiers raised their rifles and fired blindly into the sky. Many Japanese soldiers even added machine guns. , A string of bullets flew into the sky aimlessly.

"The Japanese troop carrier formation—want to run!" Tang Yunfei laughed happily, then pulled up the fighter plane, left the bullets fired by the Japanese soldiers far behind, picked up the communicator, "Joint Operations Command , Tang Yunfei reported that the Japanese Fourth Fleet has changed its course and is rushing towards the position of the fleet, and the Japanese troop carrier formation has left the battlefield and fled towards Australia!"

"Want to run?" Tang Qiuquan who received the report sneered and ordered: "Immediately order the fast gunboat detachment to break away from the formation and go forward to intercept. If a Japanese troop carrier escapes, I will talk to the detachment leader!"

The fleet of the independent division fleet returned to the voyage again. After two rounds of air strikes, the Japanese Fourth Fleet was severely damaged, and more than a quarter of the warships were sunk. However, the bad luck was far from over. After more than 40 minutes , The fighting spirit was high, the first batch of carrier-based aircraft pilots who filled up fuel and ammunition took off again, and then one carrier-based aircraft rushed into the sky from the flight deck of the aircraft carrier.

Two hours later, the Japanese Fourth Fleet, which turned around and returned desperately, set up a battle formation under the command of Lieutenant General Inoue Narumi, the commander who was already holding on to his death.The remaining dozens of Japanese warships rushed over with increased horsepower.The fleets of the two armies collided in the vast waters of the Solomon Islands.The commanders of both sides can clearly see the huge body of the opposing warship through the binoculars.

Desperation also requires capital. The naval offensive formation is conducive to ship-to-ship artillery battles, but it is not conducive to air defense. The current Japanese Fourth Fleet, air defense is tantamount to opening the door. The deputy commander who commands the first echelon of the independent division fleet Lieutenant General Amosiyev, naturally, would not be so stupid as to give up the huge lethality of the carrier-based fleet.Instead, take the traditional way of naval warfare and come to a duel between warships.

"Order, the carrier-based aircraft group will immediately concentrate on attacking the Japanese battleships and cruisers!" Amosiyev ordered: "The first formation of the fleet, concentrate all artillery fire, and sink the Japanese assault fleet!"

In the sky and on the sea, the artillery roared suddenly, Lieutenant General Amosiyev's eyes never left the rear of the Japanese Fourth Fleet, and the four ships lost all their carrier-based aircraft.The huge body of the aircraft carrier, which has become a toothless tiger, has a fiery gaze. He is full of plans to capture these four Japanese aircraft carriers.He also knows that what the independent division fleet lacks now is an aircraft carrier!

Desperately can't represent.The doomed ending can be changed, the counterattack of the Japanese Fourth Fleet.It was quickly submerged under the fierce attack of the independent division fleet's sea and air firepower, and the naval battle lasted for more than an hour.The main battleship of the Fourth Fleet was almost lost.

The flagship of the Fourth Fleet, the "Kashima", was hit by more than a dozen heavy bombs and suffered more than a dozen rounds of naval artillery shells. Fortunately, it was at the rear of the formation and was not hit by torpedoes. However, it was also severely damaged. The pouring, maneuverability and speed were all reduced to the extreme, and the soldiers on board suffered heavy casualties.

Lieutenant Admiral Inoue Narumi, sitting in the command cabin, turned a deaf ear to the loud explosions outside, and then sent a final telegram to Admiral Nagumo Tadashi, commander of the United Fleet, "Commander Nagumo, the Fourth Fleet will not be spared this time." The ending of all the jade pieces and the disastrous defeat in this battle are all the fault of Narumi Inoue!"

"Therefore, the staff department already has the belief of living and dying with the fleet. The reason for the failure of the review is that the decisive factor is that the China Independent Division has a land-based combat fleet with a combat radius that can cover the airspace of the Solomon Islands, and its pilots are all experienced. Veteran, proficient in air combat tactics and fierce style, this is the direct reason for the failure of the Fourth Fleet!"

"Your Excellency, Commander, in the following battles, we will be extremely vigilant against this mysterious land-based fleet of the China Independent Division. Looking at the fleet of the China Independent Division, which is fighting fiercely with the Fourth Fleet, its overall strength is comparable to that of the Fourth Fleet. ..."

I just wrote here, the chief of staff of the fleet, Rear Admiral Anxi, walked in and said with a pale face: "Commander, the fleet has suffered heavy losses and is no longer able to withstand the attack of the Chinese warships and carrier-based aircraft. Fortunately, our sacrifice has attracted the Chinese fleet. With full attention, the commander of the troop carrier formation reported just now that no Chinese warships were found pursuing them!"

"That's good!" Lieutenant General Inoue showed a hint of relief in his empty eyes, and said, "More than [-] soldiers of the Imperial Army died in the waters of the Solomon Islands because of this. It's a crime!"

"Anxi-jun, according to my order, all the remaining warships will launch a suicide attack and ram the Chinese warship!" Lieutenant Admiral Inoue said with a dull face.

Chief of Staff Anxi hesitated and said, "Commander, are the four aircraft carriers included?"

"Yes!" Lieutenant General Inoue said without hesitation, "Order the commanders of the other four aircraft carriers. If the suicide attack fails, the aircraft carrier will be sunk immediately. Even if it becomes a pile of scrap iron on the seabed of the Solomon Islands, it will not be left behind." Give it to the Chinese!"

"Boom! Boom!" Two loud bangs suddenly joined together, and two huge fireballs exploded. A carrier-based bomber of the independent division fleet dropped two heavy aerial bombs on the "Kashima" Where the command module is located.

The eyes of Lieutenant General Inoue and Chief of Staff Anzai were suddenly filled with a tumbling and raging fire. Immediately, the fire opened its mouth wide and swallowed the command cabin in one mouthful. The commander of the Japanese Fourth Fleet Inoue Naruto The general, as well as the last telegram in his hand that he could not send, Major General Anxi, the chief of staff, and more than a dozen Japanese officers in the command cabin disappeared into the flames!

The suicide attack of the Japanese Fourth Fleet was just a flashback before the dying struggle. It did not cause any losses to the independent division fleet. Bombs fell one after another, torpedoes left trails on the sea, and large-caliber naval artillery shells whizzed across the sky, blowing up the Japanese warships into big balls of smoking fire.

All Japanese warships with combat effectiveness exploded, caught fire, and began to sink. Only the four aircraft carriers rushed over alone. Seeing this, Lieutenant General Amosiyev shouted excitedly, "Attention all fleet, immediately! Surrounding the aircraft carrier of the Japanese army, don't shoot, you must capture it alive!"

However, he was obviously happy too early. When the surrounding independent division fleet warships surrounded them, the four Japanese aircraft carriers suddenly heard a huge series of explosions, and each of the behemoths was like a burning torch. .

"Oh!" Lieutenant General Amosiyev slammed his fist on the table in frustration, his cheeks trembling with distress, what a good aircraft carrier, it seems that he is about to get it, damn it, the Japanese are really going to do it , This is the rhythm that I don't let myself get!

This kind of heartache soon turned into full of murderous intentions. Amosiyev's eyes showed a fierce light. He looked at the Japanese sailors struggling on the sea and gave an order: "Order, all ships will clean up the battlefield immediately. I don’t want to see a living Japanese!” This is the order to shoot to kill, the devil who fell into the water is also a devil, as long as he does not die, he is the target of attack!

Tang Qiuquan put down the binoculars, smiled and shook his head. He also saw the situation of the four Japanese aircraft carriers being blown up and sunk by himself, and he was very heartbroken. Therefore, he did not stop the order of the deputy commander of the fleet, Amosiyev. .

At this time, the phone rang. Rear Admiral Xin Xiguo, Chief of Staff of the Fleet, picked up the phone, listened for a while, covered the receiver, and said to Tang Qiuquan: "Commander, Liu Xichen, the leader of the fast gunboat detachment, has successfully intercepted the Japanese military transport. Warship formation, request for the next action order!"

"Liu Xichen has never fought?" Tang Qiuquan's eyes were cold, and he said displeasedly: "What else do you need to ask for instructions? Order the second formation and the carrier-based aircraft unit to go to reinforcements immediately, order Liu Xichen to sink all the Japanese troop carriers, I don't want to I saw that there is still a little devil alive on the sea surface of the Solomon Islands!"

Xin Xiguo grinned, and a chill rushed to his forehead. The two commanders were ruthless enough. The deputy commander wanted to kill all the Japanese sailors who fell into the water. The commander was even more ruthless. Feeding sharks in the sea, more than 5 people, enough for sharks to eat for half a year?

"Captain Liu, the commander ordered to sink all the Japanese troop carriers. He doesn't want to see a little devil alive in the waters of the Solomon Islands!" Xin Xiguo conveyed the original words.

Colonel Liu Xichen, the captain of the fast gunboat detachment of the fleet, after intercepting the formation of the Japanese troop carrier, he did not hesitate to fight. How to fight more than 5 little devils, you have to ask the headquarters for instructions?

After receiving the order, Liu Xichen smiled ferociously, and said to the chief of staff: "I'm going to kill you today! Order, the rocket launcher brigade will cover all areas with firepower, the torpedo boat brigade will attack freely, and the gunboat brigade will fire in salvo! No kid will be left behind!" "

Rocket shells and artillery shells covered the sea surface where the Japanese troop carrier formation was located, one after another lightly jumped into the sea water, hitting the sea water as if boiling, one after another Japanese troop carrier caught fire in the explosion, and the hull broke into pieces Two pieces, carrying the corpses of Japanese soldiers, rolled and sank into the endless seabed of the Southwest Pacific Ocean.

Ten minutes later, the fleet's carrier-based aircraft group arrived, and there was another burst of bombs. Thirty minutes later, more than [-] main battleships from the second formation of the fleet arrived, and then the artillery fire covered it again.

After more than an hour, there was no more Japanese troop carrier on the sea, only a layer of floating, charred corpses of Japanese soldiers, undulating on the sea surface with the waves of the Pacific Ocean.
