The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Anti-aircraft guns of various calibers roared chaotically, firing shells aimlessly into the dark night sky. A few seconds later, messy explosions sounded continuously in the high altitude, and clusters of flames wrapped in shrapnel and rampaged, knocking tens of thousands of people up to ten thousand. meters, and the airspace at a minimum of 2000 meters is disturbed like a cloud of smoke after a volcanic eruption.

After the two huge airships dropped a bomb like fat pigeons that don't forget to shit in flight, they passed directly over the 〖ri〗Second Fleet without stopping, waiting for the two battleships and two heavy cruisers to fire When blocking, he had already rushed to a relatively safe place, and did not take the risk of continuing to hunt down the attractive target below.

Even so, it was still hit seven or eight times by the messy anti-aircraft fire. Fortunately, the skin is thick and the design is exquisite, but it smashed part of the surface armor and several helium compartments, and did not cause fatal damage , pulled away and fled extremely slickly, without the slightest love for fighting.

"Hiei" and "Kirishima" turned around and ran recklessly without any hesitation. Everyone was shocked by the decisiveness. 〖ri〗I couldn't understand it at first, and Chief of Staff Miki Taiichi changed his face Se shouted anxiously: "Your Excellency, Commander! Why did you give up so easily?! We can capture the capital ship of the Chinese people immediately, even if there are only two battleships left, we can still kill them!"

Minai Mitsumasa almost shed tears, and just clenched his fists and roared: "We have failed! Do you understand?! Failed! From the beginning to the end, all the combat situations are under the control of the Chinese. Passive! If we don't withdraw immediately. What awaits us. Only complete destruction!"

"It's impossible!" Miki Taiichi couldn't believe the thoughts of this overly conservative chief, rushed forward with his neck straightened in a gaffe, and shouted, "Such a thing can never happen! It's just a trick of the Chinese people! They are all cowards who dare not fight head-on! As long as we pursue closely, as long as we ask the First Fleet to dispatch support, we will definitely be able to wipe them out completely! It is wrong for you to issue such an order! You will definitely be punished by the staff The Ministry and the Cabinet will be held accountable!"

Minai Mitsumasa said dejectedly: "I will take due responsibility, but this battle must end as soon as possible. Miki-kun, please recognize the reality! We seriously miscalculated the opponent's strength! Haven't you figured it out yet? Only The two Chinese battleships, where are their other ships? Where did their air force fighter planes come from? Their submarine force and powerful torpedoes are not dispatched. Do you think they will be left unused?"

Miki Taiichi seemed to have poured a basin of cold water on his head, shivering all over his body, and was speechless with his mouth gaping.

Yes!The other party also hides a lot of things!No submarine has been seen so far, but it is believed to be the most advanced submarine made by the Germans.It is by no means easy to deal with, and their torpedoes, the Germans think they are very powerful, fighters, those fighters that suddenly appear and disappear...!

He suddenly turned his head back to the chart and browsed back and forth in a hurry. His hands trembled abruptly. He stared up at Minei Guangzheng in surprise and asked, "Could it be... do they want to wipe us all out?!"

Minai Mitsumasa seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden, half of his life of toughness and courage has now been exhausted, and he said in a hoarse voice: "If we continue to pursue, what is waiting ahead is not just high-altitude bombing. Lurking submarines and torpedoes, This sea area with complicated sea conditions will become their hunting ground! Miki-kun, the night battle we are proud of is over, the future is the era of technological equipment, we must have such awareness!"

Return!Return!

The menacing Second Fleet made a sudden U-turn with amazing speed and decisiveness, made a big circle in the channel, and fled towards the north at full speed without hesitation.

Zhu Bin and the others were stunned when they saw this reaction, the sound of cheering for sinking a battleship just stopped abruptly, and after a long while, they repeatedly checked the investigation report in disbelief: "The little devil just ran away! ?Won't!"

Chen Shaokuan couldn't believe it either, he had spent half his life planning to deal with 〖ri〗 himself.Therefore, his understanding of 〖ri〗Ben Navy is also very deep. In his consciousness, these stubborn guys are all elm-headed characters who hit the south wall and never look back. Even if they fight to the death, they will not Funk.Maybe, this is another trick to show the enemy's weakness.Then fight back halfway?

"Hmm! It's very possible! Not only can we play tricks, but the little devil is not stupid! We have to guard against it." Zhu Bin deeply agreed.The entire fleet is prepared to deal with the enemy carefully, to plan carefully, and is determined to deal with these guys to the end.

Wang Wenda smacked his lips unwillingly and sighed: "It's a pity! Our attack plan cannot be completed! Otherwise, most of his fleet will be left behind."

Eighteen destroyers ventured through the Paracel Islands to detour to the rear of the Japanese fleet. One was to destroy the supply ships and destroyers behind it, and the other was to further attack the two aircraft carriers.With the firepower of high-speed destroyers and the high range and lethality of ship-borne torpedoes, they will definitely be able to completely kill these biggest threats. At that time, they will turn around and block their capital ships in the channel, and cooperate with the submarine force all night The time is enough to grind them to death!

Not to mention anything else, just that the submarine group launched high-speed torpedoes underwater more than ten nautical miles away, which is enough for them to drink a pot.

Fortunately, everything has not been deployed yet. If the destroyer drills out and happens to encounter the returning battleship and heavy cruiser, then the end will be bad.

"Forget it, it's not bad to be able to fight like this, just run away." Zhu Bin ordered the destroyer to turn temporarily, from the left side of Yongxing Island to the direction of Hainan Island, waiting for the airship to arrive and then move forward together.The two capital ships continued to move eastward, looking around the right side of the Zhongsha Islands, and would go north with the submarine group, and finally meet near the Dongsha Islands.

It is not dare to catch up directly to find fault. Zhu Bin is not reckless enough to use two small boats with more than [-] tons to compete recklessly with other [-]-ton battleships. The ability to strike is even worse by a nose, so let it go when you see it.

After running east for two hours, seeing that the Japanese army did not catch up, the night reconnaissance report showed that the two injured aircraft carriers had already left their original location, and they hurried westward under the escort of a heavy cruiser and several light cruisers and destroyers. And the main fleet fled northward without hesitation. Even if the task force started at full speed, it would not be able to catch up with that speed, let alone the broken submarine force.

Chen Shaokuan couldn't believe it at first, but when it was dawn, he was sure that the 〖ri〗 fleet had already left hundreds of kilometers away, and he couldn't help sighing: "If we also have battleships of the same tonnage, we can keep them here in one fell swoop and cut off the Japanese army." An arm of yours! Such an opportunity is hard to come by!"

Wang Wenda chimed in: "Isn't it? It's too aggrieved to always use this asymmetrical small battleship to play with devils. Boss Zhu, you should quickly use your fairy tricks and get us a few super large battleships to play with!" Play! How refreshing to kill all the little devils face to face!"

Zhu Bin also felt that enough was enough, and nodded cautiously: "I'll do it when I get back! His uncle is a tui! If you don't do it, just give him some real porcelain first. Two years! At most two years, I will be able to make it Now the largest battleship is produced, and next time, we will definitely blow the devil's fleet to pieces!"

"That's a good thing! Hehehe, we're just counting on that day!" Wang Wenda never doubted his guarantee, and rubbed his hands happily. There will be no pop-up windows and no advertisements at that time, so how can we give him instructions?

However, Chen Shaokuan remembered the model of the battleship that Zhu Bin showed him at the beginning, and his heart burned.If there are four such giant ships, it will definitely let the navy say goodbye to humiliation and helplessness?

He patted Zhu Bin on the shoulder heavily: "Han Chen, I'll leave this to you, and I will watch over it."

"Don't worry, Chief Chen." Zhu Bin bared his teeth at him confidently.

Riding the wind and waves, singing triumphantly, when it was almost noon, the whole fleet regrouped. Under the pressure of the two airships in the sky, Haohao dangdang opened a formation with a width of [-] kilometers and headed north, and reached the Taiwan Strait the next day .

At this time, the Japanese fleet had already returned to the Ryukyu Islands, and did not even stop in Taiwan, let alone rely on the natural danger of the strait to stop it, because at this time, as many as sixty two-seat long-range bombers were protected by three battalions of fighter jets. Arriving aggressively over the strait to escort, if the Japanese army dares to come out to find fault, they will directly face overwhelming air strikes!

This is also the reason why Minei Guangzheng did not try again. He is very clear that as long as he breaks through the South China Sea defense line and approaches Guangzhou, this fleet will no longer be isolated and helpless. With a strong guarantee, he didn't have the determination to burn everything, and risked all the sacrifices of the fleet to test Zhu Bin's determination.

On the third day, the fleet arrived in the waters of the Zhoushan Islands. The two large ships belonging to the training fleet, led by Vice Minister of the Navy Chen Jiliang and Commander Wang Shouting, went out to sea to meet them, following the instructions of Chairman Jiang, to meet the return of the task force , went to Shanghai to accept the review.

Zhu Bin tilted his mouth and said displeasedly: "The Huangpu River is too small to accommodate such a large fleet. The chairman wants to inspect it. Why don't you go to the Guzhenkou base, where it is very spacious!"

Chen Shaokuan laughed angrily: "Why are you so reckless, are you sincerely trying to keep the Chairman from coming down?"

Zhu Bin ignored the lump of pickled vegetables, he didn't even intend to stop at Zhoushan Port, and directly led the fleet to the north, what kind of chairman, he really took himself seriously!I have given you enough face, do you really think that I can let you handle it casually?while playing!

Ignoring Chen Shaokuan's persuasion, no matter how ugly Chen Jiliang and Wang Shouting's faces were, and no matter how embarrassed Ouyang Ge was who planned to meddle, he led the fleet directly northward and returned to Guzhenkou Base! (To be continued!.
