Chapter 1959 Keeping the Canglong

Yanagimoto Ryusaku made a rare gaffe.

Although those waterlines now seem to be able to pose a threat to the Canglong, but because the Canglong is driving, they can actually be avoided.What's more, there is a light cruiser and two destroyers on the port side of the Soryu, and the Ryujo aircraft carrier is blocking the starboard side.

The devil officers behind him exchanged glances, and one of the majors said, "Your Excellency, the 'Dama' seems to have no intention of coming back."

Liu Ben didn't seem to hear his words, but continued to shout: "Yes, attack the torpedo, blow it up!"

Several devils looked at each other, and a captain said softly: "Your Excellency Liu Ben is not crazy, is he?"

The others glared at him immediately, and the major who spoke just now scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, how can His Excellency Liu Ben, the commander of the main fleet of the Royal Navy, be so vulnerable!"

"Report, call back from Tokyo—" a second lieutenant hurried out with a message in his hand and shouted.

I don't know if he was stimulated by the word "Tokyo". Liu himself was shocked, and then seemed to regain his composure. He took the telegram from the second lieutenant and read aloud: "...the worst thing is to save the Canglong..."

When the Xuebing Army dispatched more than 56 torpedo boats to attack Soma Masamune's landing fleet in the Taiwan Strait, Yamamoto [-] was already taken aback.Now, the old devil was dumbfounded when he learned that the Xuebing Army used more than two hundred torpedo boats to ambush the mixed fleet.He read and re-read the telegram sent back by Yanagimoto Yanasaku to make sure that there was no misreading of the numbers, and asked Narumi Inoue on the side: "Didn't Kobayashi report that there were dozens of ships? What's going on?"

Narumi Inoue and Yamamoto are both veterans of the navy. Although they don't take seriously the combat power of small boats such as torpedo boats, they also know that when this type of boat reaches a certain number, there will be a qualitative change, which is enough to realize the seemingly small boat destroying the big ship. Impossible task, and then thinking of the more than two hundred Baiji dolphins and the sky fortress, they immediately realized that they might be fooled——

Originally thought that the mixed fleet could be used as a bait, and at most some merchant ships and destroyers could be sacrificed to achieve the goal of severely injuring the air force of the student army.It is only now that this is not the case. It seems that there is a possibility of stealing chickens without losing money.If Leng wants to be held accountable, it is naturally related to the number of torpedo boats sent by Kobayashi Chizao about the number of torpedo boats assembled by the cadet army to Taiwan.Poor Kobayashi Chizao changed the "large-scale torpedo boat force" reported by Penghu Island to a more specific number of dozens of ships. This was out of a conscientious attitude, but it caused Yamamoto and others to make a huge deviation in judging the balance of power between the two sides. .And if the Canglong aircraft carrier suffers the same fate as its sibling, the Hiryu, then he will definitely take the blame.

Narumi Inoue reacted quickly. He speculated: "Could it be that the Xuebing Army has built a certain scale of torpedo boat troops in Taiwan?" If the information provided by Kobayashi is correct, then this is the only reasonable explanation.However, considering that the life and death of the Soryu was uncertain, Yamamoto did not immediately admit this statement.

In the past, Yamamoto was extremely partial to his generals, but now because of the fierce competition with the army for the dominance of the military department, he had to give up his original principle.If things are really as analyzed by Inoue, then he will be responsible for this responsibility, and he feels that this is absolutely unacceptable for the Ministry of the Navy at present.

"We must keep the Soryu no matter what," Yamamoto finally said through gritted teeth.

In Karachi, because there was no news of the sinking of the Japanese aircraft carrier for a long time, on the contrary, there were frequent reports of battle losses for the swordfish group and the submarine force, and Ouyang Yun couldn't hold his breath. "Am I in a hurry? Or should the Air Force be the main force," he said pacing.

"If we want to go out, we always rely on the navy," Chen Shichang said softly.

Degu raised his head and looked at Ouyang Yun: "The Japanese have already lost seventeen warships, large and small, plus eleven merchant ships, which equals three torpedo boats for one large ship. What else do you want?"

Because he didn't know the specific battle process, Degu simply compared the battle damage ratio.In his opinion, three torpedo boats can be exchanged for a large Japanese ship, and the Xuebing Army is simply too profitable.And if he knows that nearly half of the torpedo boats of the Xuebing Army can reach a top speed of 120 kilometers per hour, and the submarine force has anti-submarine torpedoes, he will probably stand up and shout at the first time: "Do you Chinese understand? Do you know how to command?"

The Japanese merchant ship wanted to hide between the Canglong and Longxiang aircraft carriers, but instead gave Huang Tianxun and the others a chance to expand their results. When the Japanese merchant ship crashed into a ball, within 6 minutes, Huang Tianxun's swordfish shoal A torpedo shot wildly sank nine merchant ships and two destroyers at once.

No one is not afraid of death, and the devils who say that His Majesty the Emperor will die for the Great Japanese Empire are no exception.One moment Yanamoto Ryusaku was almost driven mad by the selfish behavior of the transport fleet, but the next moment he received the highest order from Yamamoto Riho Soryu, he saw a glimmer of life from it, and immediately regained his composure and reason.He immediately cheered up and gave frequent orders on the command channel. First, he ordered Ekusa Takashige to lead his team back to attack the cadet army torpedo boats and submarines raging on the sea, and then gave an order to Nabeshima Shun in the name of Yamamoto, ordering him to immediately report to Soryu. In the end, he also ordered Goto in the name of Yamamoto to immediately command the surviving merchant ships to build a torpedo protection wall for the Soryu...

Because of the Battle of Pearl Harbor, Yamamoto was almost a god-like existence among the middle and low-level officers and soldiers of the Japanese Navy, so Takashige Ekusa gave the order to return to the voyage again without hesitation, while Shunsaku Nabeshima greeted all the female family members of Yanagimoto in his heart On the one hand, they could only order to reduce the speed and wait for the Canglong to approach.As for Goto, he has the awareness to dedicate himself to His Majesty the Emperor, but the merchant ship he can command is only the one he is on, so it is only to make other merchant ships more orderly, and other practical effects are irrelevant. Didn't get up.

Jiang Cao led his troops back to the voyage resolutely, and the devil commander of the Taipei Air Corps thought to himself that with his own strength alone, he was no match for the Xuebing Army Air Force, so he could only follow and fly over the sea area where the mixed fleet was located.

For Zhang Xiaolin, commander of the 301st Fighter Pilot Division, and Lai Delu, commander of the 303rd Fighter Pilot Division, today's air battle was really useless.It is necessary to attract Japanese aircraft and reduce losses, which in turn makes the brothers unable to do anything.Well, not to mention the drop in morale, it also caused the battle damage to be much higher than usual.The two asked Xue Changkong to fight several times, asking him to let go of his hands and feet and fight hard, but Xue Changkong refused, and the two became more and more angry and almost fell ill.The two officers were very angry, and so were the student aviation soldiers under them.An evil fire gradually ignited in everyone's heart, and gradually the movements of the hands became wild, and the reaction to the maneuvering of the fighter plane showed this phenomenon: all the baiji dolphins became perverse——Xue Chang Kong saw from a distance and realized something, he was worried, and thought that it would be better to fight hard if this continues.I was struggling, and at this moment, the Japanese machines collectively turned around.His eyes lit up when he saw this scene, and he raised his voice and shouted: "Zhang Xiaolin, Lai Delu, what are you two bastards waiting for, beat me hard!"
