Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2656 The Last Moment

"From the day I joined the army, I was ready to sacrifice. For the sake of the country and my family, I thought I could face the hail of bullets without fear. But at that moment, I had to admit with shame Yes, I'm scared. Yes, 'Brave Jack' is scared. Of course it's something to be proud of, fighting and dying for your country. But if you're dealing with a group of What about an enemy who doesn't take life seriously? In front of such an enemy, or in other words, is it really worthwhile to exchange my life for the life of such an enemy? Sitting in the cabin, I can't see the enemy's face clearly or hear it I can hear their voices, but through the sonar, I can clearly feel the face and mood of the enemy at this time - they must be grinning wildly, right? Yes, they do have the capital to laugh wildly. General Turner in order to fight against the Japanese We spent a lot of effort on our special attack tactics, we trained from dawn to dusk, preparing for battle every moment. But now it seems that no matter how much preparation we have done, because our enemy cannot be called human at all. , so, after all, we are still doomed to fail—" This is the memory and mental journey of this battle written by an American sonar soldier named Jack after the war. Through this "Memoirs", we can see that Turner's submarine How did the troops lose the battle?In the face of the special attack tactics of killing one thousand enemies and harming eight hundred, the American sailors were not ready to kill themselves and become benevolent at all, and the more timid they were, the sharper the Japanese special attack tactics became, and the result naturally showed a overwhelming trend.

Although Turner's submarine force failed to block the attack of the Maeda detachment, it won half an hour for King to adjust, and consumed more than half of the special attack submarines and special attack torpedoes of the Maeda detachment.With these results, the key is to obtain a half-hour buffer time, which allowed Jin to organize and fly more than [-] bombers, and dropped more than [-] depth charges into the sea water around the fleet.

More than [-] depth charges, if used properly, let alone Date Kiyomasa's command has only [-] Min-class submarines, even if the number of submarines is doubled, it is impossible to form a breakthrough.However, because the single-machine raid staged by Murakami caused the U.S. military to mistake the direction of defense from the beginning, allowing the Japanese submarine to sneak to a fairly close distance, Jin has actually lost the best time to defend at this time.

And because the Japanese submarines had broken through the first line of defense of the U.S. Pacific Fleet at this time, and were mixed with the ships forming the second line, this made it impossible for American pilots to drop deep-water bombs in dense areas, so there were still quite a few The Japanese submarine successfully avoided the intensive bombardment of depth charges and was able to get closer to the US fleet aircraft carrier.

The first fleet carrier of the U.S. military to suffer was the USS Enterprise-the Enterprise was first hit by a special attack submarine on the port side, and then hit by four special attack torpedoes and two special attack submarines on the port, starboard and bow. After four large holes appeared on his body, he lost the ability to continue to float. Captain Johnny could only announce the abandonment of the ship.

"The Enterprise was hit! The Enterprise lost its maneuverability! Captain Johnny asked to abandon the ship!" In just a quarter of an hour, three battle reports about the Enterprise were reported to Jin one after another.

From a distance of about 3000 meters, Jinyan watched the fires ignited one after another on the ship's side of the Enterprise. His face was pale, and his pupils were full of helplessness.

"General, what should we do?" The intensive bombardment of depth charges failed to completely contain the Japanese offensive. Seeing the tragedy of the Enterprise, Cole worried that the Hornet would follow in his footsteps, so he asked Jin nervously.

"Order all the escort ships to approach their respective fleet aircraft carriers! Order them to drop depth charges at all costs!" Jin pondered for about 3 minutes before making the above decision.

Surface ships, especially large surface ships, do not have many means to deal with submarines. Among them, depth charges are definitely the simplest and most effective.

More depth charges were thrown into the ocean by the U.S. military, and the casualties of the Japanese army increased sharply.

"Your Excellency, the Maeda Detachment has sent a farewell telegram, and Maeda-dono has launched an attack himself!" A staff officer suddenly shouted loudly at Date Kiyomasa.

Since the US fighter planes poured depth charges into the sea, the losses of the Japanese army began to increase steadily.Kiyomasa Date's response to this was to ask all motherships to immediately release all special attack submarines and special attack torpedoes, and to release all special attack aircraft.

The launch of the special attack aircraft once restrained the depth bombing operations of the U.S. military. However, due to the huge difference in the number of fighters between the two sides and the weather, American pilots were often unable to see the dangers that were close at hand, which made them brave. Therefore, the special attack aircraft only contained the depth bomb attack of the US military in a very short period of time, but failed to change the situation of the battle.

The US frigates had been defending against depth charges from the very beginning. However, because they were scattered in the three distant waters of Port Vila at that time, they did not cause too much trouble to the Japanese special attack tactics.But now, as they began to move closer to the fleet aircraft carrier, the density of depth charges increased correspondingly, and the characteristics of depth charges known as the submarine nemesis were immediately revealed.

As the vanguard of this raid, the Maeda detachment has been attacking the most fiercely, and naturally endured the most counterattacks. It is also reasonable for them to smash the first one.

"We just destroyed a fleet aircraft carrier!" Kiyoshi Date said softly.

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Lieutenant Aida Yoshiharu answered, with sweat dripping from his forehead.

"The time for the decisive battle has come, order everyone to change the attack method, now is the time to show courage!" Date Kiyomasa suddenly said loudly.

The so-called change of attack methods, how many attack methods do submarines and torpedoes have?Nothing more than underwater and water only.

A sound wave with special meaning centered on Kiyomi Date’s command submarine and spread along the sea water. Some sonar soldiers of the US Pacific Fleet were surprised by this strange sound wave. For the first time, Japanese troops appeared in Jin’s field of vision. Silhouettes of special attack submarines and torpedoes.

"The Japanese submarines and torpedoes are coming up! What are they trying to do?!" Cole exclaimed.

Jin narrowed his eyes and shouted suddenly: "Where are our artillery? Order all ships to put in all artillery immediately!"

"Yes!"

"Fighters, now is the time for fighters to take off! Quick, take off as many fighters as possible!"

"Yes, I'll convey it now!"

If it is daytime, a bird's-eye view of the waters around Port Vila will reveal such a spectacular scene. With the US Pacific Fleet as the center, hundreds of submarines and torpedoes with round black heads surfaced. Behind these small submarines and torpedoes, some huge submarines that can be called underwater behemoths are also slowly rising.Later, on more than [-] US ships of various types, the artillery fire suddenly became unprecedentedly intensive.

At the last moment, in order to avoid the depth charges, the Japanese had to float up as a whole, and launched an offensive grandiosely.The Americans responded with intensive artillery fire and more and more fighter planes.
