Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Sure enough, Jiang Haoran's guess was quickly verified. In less than 10 minutes, another news came from the front. The Iowa suddenly found the enemy battleship Yamato, but did not wait for the Iowa to adjust the guns and adjust the guns. , the enemy "Yamato" has already started shelling, and the nine main guns fired at once, aiming directly at the "Iowa" and "Pennsylvania". , was hit by two shells weighing 1000 and 24 kilograms, one blasted a large hole in the deck, and the other hit the bridge directly. Almost all senior officers, including the captain, were killed in battle, and the remaining sailors Forced into damage control and rescue, it was impossible to continue fighting. Nimitz immediately issued an order for the "Iowa" to retreat immediately. At the same time, he ordered the tugboat and rescue personnel to approach the Iowa immediately and prepare for rescue.

But not long after the order was issued, the bad news came again. Because the command system was paralyzed, there was another panic on the ship. No one noticed that the enemy submarine was approaching secretly. After hitting the battleship "Iowa" again, the hull immediately tilted heavily, and the sinking was inevitable. All Nimitz could do was give the order to abandon the ship.

A few minutes later, news came again that the battleship "Iowa" had sunk.

The entire headquarters was suddenly dead silent. This battleship built by the United States at a huge cost was actually sunk during the first mission, and it probably took less than half an hour from the start of the battle to the sinking. It created a battleship in the history of battleships. Myth, and the creator of this myth is Nimitz.

After a long time, Nimitz, with a pale face and cold sweat on his forehead, asked in a deep voice, "General Jiang, what should we do now?"

Nimitz could no longer see a hint of arrogance and superiority in his eyes, only endless regret and shame on his face, if he could accept Jiang Haoran's suggestion, focus on defense, try to keep the distance from the island army as far as possible, and use bombers Delaying the attack speed of the island army, delaying the time to retreat until the evening, and only contacting the island army on a small scale, how could it lead to the disaster and embarrassment in front of us.

Now the loss of the "Iowa" is still second. The destruction of the flagship has completely shaken the morale of the army, and the Third Fleet has lost the most important heavy artillery firepower. The island army must pursue it with all its strength. But retreat has become a problem, and Nimitz no longer cares about his identity, he only wants to solve the immediate predicament.

Jiang Haoran spread his arms and shrugged, responding to Nimitz's American-style humor, saying: "Maybe God knows better than me?"

Jiang Haoran's words were obviously emotional, of course Nimitz could hear it, and replied with a wry smile: "This joke is not funny at all, I don't think now is the time for us to pursue right and wrong and bite each other. A practical solution to the immediate crisis is the most important thing, Jiang, don’t you think so?”

Facing Nimitz's sincere attitude, Jiang Haoran let out a sigh of relief, as if expressing the resentment in his heart, and said seriously: "Now the only thing we can count on is that the bomber can win the round for us, but the escorting fighter jets must be sharp. Cut it in half, and the remaining half must ensure the safety of the fleet. The sinking of the "Iowa" will undoubtedly boost the morale of the island army. For the rest, there is nothing to say, it depends on how well your air force is up to par, and at this time the island army's 'Yamato' is relatively forward, so it is recommended to use it for surgery."

??

On the bridge of the "Taiho" aircraft carrier of the island army, Lieutenant General Ozawa Jisaburo stood facing the wind, with a smug smile on his face.On the deck below, the locust warriors cheered everywhere.

The sinking of the flagship "Iowa" of the Mi Army is undoubtedly great news. It is an absolute benefit to the battle itself and the morale of the Locust Army. His first commando team also laid a solid foundation for the battle. off to a good start.

Not far away, the artillery battle is still going on, and the battleships, cruisers, and destroyers of the Locust Army are driving to the front with all their strength, seizing the "T-shaped horizontal head" position, striving to concentrate the most powerful firepower and defeat the third fleet of the Mi Army at the fastest speed .

The naval guns in front were rumbling, the smoke filled the air, and countless shells rained down on the Mi Army fleet. The Mi Army seemed to have lost the courage to fight, and there were very few shells to fight back. The reconnaissance plane also confirmed that they were retreating at full speed. It was him at this time Jisaburo Ozawa will never let go of this good opportunity to make contributions. Perhaps a battle recorded in history has begun, and the victory of course belongs to the locust army.

Although the artillery battle ahead was in full swing, there were almost no planes on the deck of the "Taiho" aircraft carrier. Except for a few reconnaissance planes and fighter jets from the frigate that took off and landed occasionally, the rest entered the hangar.

The Hellcat of the Americans is too powerful, so Ozawa has to avoid its edge, and the Third Fleet of the Mi Army does not have the weakness of being equipped with offensive weapons, so Ozawa can safely put his swords and guns into storage and fight a battleship duel.

Of course, before that, Jisaburo Ozawa searched an area of ​​nearly [-] nautical miles, and he had already determined that there was no aircraft carrier fleet of the Mi Army nearby, so he dared to be so bold.

Another good news came from the front, and another cruiser of the Mi Army was sunk by the locust army. Ozawa couldn't help waving his arms in the air, and was excited again.

But before he was happy for 2 minutes, a staff officer rushed over and reported that the reconnaissance plane in front had found a group of Mi Army fighter jets. The number was about fifty or sixty, and they would soon fly over the fleet.

Ozawa Jisaburo was taken aback when he heard the words, and then a playful smile appeared on his face, and he ordered the aviation alarm to be sounded, and all air defense firepower was ready to welcome the guests.

Jisaburo Ozawa seemed to be in a good mood, and his words were relaxed and humorous, which caused the generals behind him to burst into laughter. From the beginning to the end, Ozawa did not issue an order for the aviation to intercept.

In his opinion, it is impossible for Hellcat fighter jets to pose any threat to the fleet. It is amazing that they can carry a [-]kg aerial bomb, but a [-]kg aerial bomb is not bad for a fishing boat, and it is used to deal with aircraft carrier formations Any ships in China are almost itchy, and there is really no need to intercept them.

Fighters against aircraft carriers, even if they are large in number, are no different from a group of toothless tigers. It is enough to deal with them with the anti-aircraft firepower on the ships.

Ozawa even thought that if the commander of the Mi Army was either out of skills or insane, he even used such unreliable methods.
