Chapter 2147 Crisis
The seven warships share 36 torpedoes, and each ship has seven more torpedoes. Not to mention the heavy cruiser Kaohsiung with a displacement of only [-] tons, even the Yamato and Wuwei aircraft carriers with a displacement of nearly [-] tons can't stand it .In order to send the Kaohsiung and another heavy cruiser to the belly of the fish, Xiang Chenggong was really willing to send eight Chinese sturgeons to each ship to take care of them. Therefore, although Goto made various efforts, but as many as eight Under the siege of several torpedoes, the Kaohsiung was finally unable to escape the same mistakes.Flames burst out, huge waves set off, and then there was a rumbling violent explosion. Amidst the explosion, the Kaohsiung Ship shook violently, and the devil soldiers who were dragging nylon hoses to fight the fire fell to the ground one after another. Falling into the sea from the ship, screams rang out.

Violent explosions, huge waves, Japanese-style screams, and the vortex created by the large ship sinking into the bottom of the sea... In less than 10 minutes, the attack on the success department was completed. Of the 36 Chinese sturgeons that attacked, only one was lost.The fighter plane was shot in the abdomen while climbing after dropping the torpedo, and then under the control of the student pilot who was driving the plane, it ran into the Japanese light cruiser that hit it, and directly hit the light cruiser on the hull. It opened a big hole and completed its first and final battle with a heroic means.At that time, the Kaohsiung had not been fatally hit. Goto was lucky enough to see this scene. His eyes couldn't help shrinking for a while, and then he said to the adjutant next to him: "The Chinese have aircraft carriers and advanced fighters. This is not terrible. The terrible thing is the fighting will of the Chinese people. The population of China is far larger than ours. If all the Chinese people are willing to die, the empire will never be able to defeat them. Your Excellency Koizumi's fifty special attack aircraft is a good idea, we should More cruel than the Chinese. Only in this way can we break their will..."

The standpoint is different, and the attitude towards this matter is completely different.As the commander-in-chief of the air strike group, Xu Sidong also saw this scene. At that time, his heart was troubled, and tears welled up in his eyes.As overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese, when they return to China to join the army to serve their motherland, their first choice at the beginning is basically the Communist Army.The reason is that, on the one hand, the Communist Army has done a good job in propaganda, and on the other hand, it is because Lao Jiang's strategy of "to fight against the outside world, we must first settle the inside" has been widely known in the overseas Chinese community and resisted by the overseas Chinese community.As a former civil aviation airliner pilot, Xu Sidong had no choice but to join the aviation unit of the GMD Army if he returned to China to join the army due to technical constraints.However, with the sudden rise of Ouyang Yun and Xuebingjun, especially after Xuebingjun’s enterprises entered the United States on a large scale, under the auspices of Gu Lianyun, every major war would be notified to the overseas Chinese in time, and Xuebingjun began to be well known by overseas Chinese. , Gradually became the first choice for overseas Chinese young people to return to China to join the army.Gu Lianyun will report to the overseas Chinese community in time, no matter how big or small, it is through their propaganda that the images of brave and fearless soldiers are erected one by one, which also encourages overseas Chinese young people who want to return to the country to join the army to serve the motherland, and make them subconsciously He took these students as role models for himself in the army.

"Good job! Feng Aokong, there is another enemy ship, go up and sink it!" Xu Sidong suddenly shouted through the intercom.Feng Aokong, who had been watching eagerly for a long time, received the order and immediately ordered the remaining tiger sharks to go into battle. He shouted through the intercom: "There is only one battleship left for the little devil, there are too many monks, brothers, seize the opportunity!"

What he said was a bit redundant, one Japanese ship was not enough for the remaining eleven Tiger Sharks, so Xu Sidong and Feng Aokong felt a big headache happened, because of the question of who would attack first, eleven captains, including them The captains of the squadron quarreled, and finally Feng Aokong had to come forward and ordered to attack according to the fighter number.

The remaining Japanese ship was a destroyer of more than 2000 tons. This kind of small ship was simply unable to bear the heavy aerial bomb of [-] kilograms, so after only two Tiger Sharks passed, the destroyer was blown into two pieces. So far, if the submarines that escaped to the bottom of the sea are not counted, the air strike group has achieved a complete victory.

All the fighter planes started to return, but Lian Xiao, who was able to shoot at the drowning devils on the sea, was still in business. When he pulled up the fighter planes, he sighed, "It's a pity that the little devil's submarine ran away."

"Don't worry, they won't stop there, this battle still has to be fought," Xu Sidong comforted him in the command channel.

About 10 minutes after the fighter group of the Xuebing Army left the combat sea area, a Japanese submarine slowly poked out its periscope from a distance of ten kilometers.It was about to float up, when suddenly several seaplanes appeared in the camera, and it quickly dived down again.The seaplane was sent by Chen Shichang to rescue the HNA students who parachuted.Following their appearance, several colored smoke columns rose from the sea.These seaplanes immediately swooped towards the place where the colorful smoke rose, and then landed on the sea.There were five HNA trainees who parachuted, one of them died unfortunately because he failed to untie the parachute bag in time, and the others were rescued by their comrades.When the seaplane rescued the skydiving cadets, three submarines surfaced one after another, but they dived down again immediately after spotting the seaplane.After experiencing an air raid, the devil soldiers of the raid fleet were already terrified, so even if they faced seaplanes with insufficient armed forces to threaten them, they did not dare to rashly expose their targets.The seaplane rescue operation lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and then they circled a few times at low altitude over the combat sea area before flying away Shi Shiran.

About half an hour after they left, all the Japanese submarines surfaced, including Min 02 and Min 03.

On the bridge of Min 02, Morikawa picked up the binoculars and looked towards the battle sea area, but found nothing. The little devil's face first turned pale, and then turned red. "Bage Yalu, if you don't take this revenge, you won't be a man!" He suddenly cursed viciously, and then ordered all the submarines to rush to the combat sea area immediately.

The distance was getting closer and closer, and finally the wreckage of the sunken Japanese ship appeared in Morikawa's field of vision, but more of them were the corpses of Japanese soldiers who had been blown up or shot to death.Eleven ships on the water, except for some wreckage, have all been engulfed by sea water at this time.There were no lifeboats, and among the many dead bodies, only twenty or thirty sailors in lifejackets were still alive. When they saw the submarine, they immediately called for help.There are 4000 ships on the water, and all the personnel add up to [-] people. Even if some of these people sank with the battleship, the survivors should not be the only ones.Then there is only one explanation for this situation. The Xuebing Army finally used fighter jets to shoot them.It just so happened that a few corpses floated over not far in front. Morikawa saw the obvious gun holes on their bodies, and his anger burned. "Bage! Cruel Chinese people! Unforgivable!" He said bitterly, completely forgetting that it was his army colleagues who once massacred unarmed civilians in China.

"Your Excellency, you must avenge Goto! The Chinese, the Chinese did not stop after sinking our warship. They dispatched fighter jets to shoot at us..." Among the more than [-] rescued devils, there was the latter Vine's adjutant.After he was brought in front of Morikawa, he cried to Morikawa in tears.

Mori Chuan had a cold and silent expression at first, then suddenly said viciously: "Don't worry, I will make the Chinese people pay a terrible price! Bageyalu!"

In the command room of the Yellow Emperor Cambridge, Xu Sidong, dressed in a flight suit, stood in front of Chen Shichang and reported the entire air raid process to him.At the end, he said in a worried tone: "Lian Xiaosheng reported that there are at least ten Japanese submarines. Unfortunately, we didn't catch any of them. Commander, we have to guard against their sneak attacks."

Chen Shichang nodded, his eyes fell on the sea chart in front of him, and said: "We will reach Mindanao in four hours at most. If I were the commander of the enemy submarine force, considering the strength of our defense force, I would not Choose to launch a sneak attack during the day. This year’s night will be the biggest test for our army. Everything has advantages and disadvantages. The sonar soldiers lack actual combat, so it’s good to let them experience it.”

"Commander Guo, are they ready? If not, we might as well spend the night in Sarangani Bay," Xu Sidong suggested.

Chen Shichang shook his head: "No, the faster the evacuation, the better. The Japanese army has a large number of army aviation troops on the surrounding islands. If they carry out air strikes on our army regardless of the cost, our fleet is capable of self-defense. What about the ground troops? Sidong, our main task is to help the Americans withdraw their troops, and we should not put the priorities in reverse."

The pier where the Pacific Fleet will berth will be General Santos Port in Sarangani Bay. As early as a week ago, about [-] US troops stationed in the Philippines were all evacuated here.And three days ago, Guo Kui's Second Expeditionary Army also withdrew in full.At this moment, the small General Santos City has been turned into a barracks.Just as Chen Shichang was worried, after the U.S. military and the cadet army had all withdrawn to General Santos, how to defend against the air became Guo Kui's biggest worry.

After the Japanese army replaced the navy to dominate the war in the Philippines, the Japanese commander-in-chief Masaharu Honma began to appear ambitious. He even sent a telegram to the base camp saying that he would resolve the Philippine incident within three months and completely control all Philippine islands.The facts gave him a painful slap in the face. He organized three major offensives in a row, but instead of being able to attack the southern Philippine islands occupied by the US coalition forces, he lost nearly 2 people, and his strength suddenly became stretched.He realized that jungle warfare and mountain warfare were not the opponents of the United States, so he had to ask the base camp for air support, and wanted to offset the advantage of the United States through air support.Hideki Tojo wanted to take advantage of the Philippine war to completely seize the dominance of the navy in the Pacific war, so he sent him two additional flight teams with a total of more than [-] fighters.

Guo Kui's approach to dealing with the Japanese reinforcements was to break them up into pieces, shifting from positional resistance to gradual resistance, and making full use of the complex terrain to attack the Japanese army.However, now, in order to retreat, with all the troops concentrated in General Santos City, this undoubtedly gave Masaharu Homma a chance to launch air superiority and complete his achievements in one battle.
