Expedition to Europe

Chapter 498 Salvo

When Chen Kangjian sent Bao Deshui to attack, he also sent out the fleet from the northern Xinjiang region.

For Lanfang and Japan, this is a battle that determines the destiny of the country, and all chips must be put on to win the greatest victory.

Compared with aircraft, although the destroyer equipped by Lanfang had a speed of 35 knots, it was still much slower than the torpedo aircraft. By the time the destroyer fleet arrived belatedly on the battlefield, there were no valuable targets on the sea.

No, battlefield is not the right description. It should be a slaughterhouse.

For the Japanese, this sea area is the slaughterhouse of the Japanese.

The three Japanese battleships have all sunk in the first wave of attacks from Baodeshui. The remaining Japanese destroyer captains have no experience in fighting torpedo planes. They don't even have experience in fighting with aircraft. They cannot understand aircraft at all. speed, so the remaining Japanese destroyer captains obviously did not expect Bao Deshui and the others to be able to come back so quickly.

So when Bao Deshui and the others flew into this sea area for the second time, the remaining Japanese destroyers did not leave, but were busy rescuing the sailors who fell into the water. This gave Bao Deshui an opportunity to attack again.

A battleship has approximately 1,200 to 300 sailors. It actually takes many years to train these sailors, especially those technical units, which are extremely precious to a country.

The sailors will not sink themselves as the battleship sinks like the captain. When disaster strikes, the sailors will take various methods to save themselves. However, at 52° north latitude in October, self-rescue alone is not enough. You need to get out of the sea as soon as possible to survive.

So the remaining Japanese destroyers are doing their best to provide rescue to these fallen soldiers...

So Bao Deshui launched another attack...

For Lanfang people, dead Japanese are the best Japanese.

When they noticed that the torpedo planes were flying back again, the destroyer captains tried every means to resist. They even used their main guns to deal with the torpedo planes flying in the sky.

However, in just 15 minutes, all the remaining destroyers were sent to the bottom of the sea.

If a warship is not equipped with special anti-aircraft weapons, it will be impossible to defend itself against conventional weapons alone, and the hope of using its main gun to shoot down aircraft is even slimmer.

For torpedo planes, the destroyer's armor is too fragile. Lanfang's 450mm torpedo can easily tear the destroyer in half, with almost no need for a second shot.

So when the destroyers of the Lanfang Northern Fleet came to this sea area, all they saw were various debris and corpses floating on the sea.

"Boss, what should I do?" He Guangcheng, the first mate of the destroyer "Jialingjiang", asked Captain Li Dingxin for advice.

"Jialingjiang" is the flagship of the Lanfang Northern Territory Destroyer Fleet, and Li Dingxin is the squadron commander of the entire destroyer fleet.

"What should I do? Cold! It's so miserable. There's not even a living person here. Lao Bao and the others are so ruthless that they don't even give us a chance to be humanitarian." Li Dingxin stared and told lies.

Of course there are still living people on the sea. Although Bao Deshui and the others have sunk all valuable targets, they are really powerless against little guys like lifeboats. Therefore, there are still some lifeboats in this sea area, and probably only There are more than a dozen ships, and they have no power and can only be driven by manpower.

At this time, these lifeboats were already crowded with sailors. When they discovered Lanfang's destroyer, the sailors waved anything that could move in their hands, trying to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers on the destroyer and let the destroyer pull them.

Now, for those who don't want to die, being a prisoner is better than freezing and starving to death at sea. These lifeboats are unpowered and rely only on the crew to row in the direction of Japan. Even if they do not lose their way, it will be difficult for them to return to Japan.

"Head, there seems to be movement over there." He Guangcheng was not sure what Li Dingxin meant, so he reminded Li Dingxin in a more subtle way that there were still people alive over there.

"Speed ​​up and go over and take a look!" Li Dingxin was ruthless.

So the "Jialingjiang", which originally only maintained a speed of 15 knots, increased its speed to 20 knots and rushed towards the lifeboat.

"Onboard..." When they saw the destroyer coming this way, the Japanese sailors on the lifeboat cheered.

But soon, the cheers turned into all kinds of yelling, because as the distance got closer and closer, Lanfang's destroyer showed no intention of slowing down, and its speed was getting faster and faster.

This guy is not here to save people at all, he is here to kill people.

Compared to battleships, destroyers are of course little guys, but compared to lifeboats, destroyers are outright big guys. Lanfang's destroyer didn't even need to ram it. As long as it drove past the lifeboat, the water waves stirred up by the destroyer could overturn the lifeboat.

In near-zero seawater, a person can only survive for two hours at most if he does not receive help.

There are more than a dozen destroyers in the northern Xinjiang region. After several times of traveling back and forth, there is no longer any living thing on the sea...

At this time, Ningbeigang was already immersed in a hysterical carnival.

When Bao Deshui reported to Chen Kangjian that all Japanese warships had been sunk, the ecstatic Chen Kangjian even hugged Bao Deshui and kissed him shamelessly. More people were laughing, and some were crying.

Whether it is laughing or crying, it is a release of emotions accumulated to a certain extent.

After calming down, Chen Kangjian immediately sent a report to Lanfang to report the good news, and at the same time ordered the troops on Sakhalin Island to step up the attack like the Japanese.

The battle on Sakhalin Island was not too intense before. The 11th and 18th Divisions were afraid to fight because of the powerful Japanese fleet. Now there is no need to be afraid. The right thing to do is to use tanks to push all the Japanese into the sea.

The Northern Xinjiang District is tens of thousands of kilometers away from Lan Fang. Even if Chen Kangjian sends a telegram now, the telegram will have to be transferred through several relay stations before it can be delivered to Lan Fang.

Therefore, Qin Zhiyuan is not clear about the battle in the Northern Xinjiang District.

Although he does not know the situation in the Northern Xinjiang District, Qin Zhiyuan is now immersed in ecstasy.

From the moment Yu Zhenshun drove the reconnaissance plane into the "Hyuga", within just fifteen minutes, the squadron of the Japanese fleet heading south became history.

The original text is available at Liu # 9 @shu/ba!

The "Hyuga" was hit by at least 15 torpedoes, which almost blew it into pieces; the "Haruna" was a little luckier, but not much better. Now the "Haruna" has capsized as a whole, the bottom of the ship is exposed to the sea, and the propeller at the tail has become a mast. The sound of the living people in the cabin knocking on the bottom of the ship can still be heard, but it is gradually sinking, and those who are not dead will not knock for long.

After the Japanese fleet sank, Qin Zhiyuan was not as ruthless as Li Dingxin, but sent out lifeboats to rescue the sailors who fell into the water. At the same time, the torpedo plane wing led by Dou Yongyi flew directly to Cam Ranh Bay after hanging bombs again, preparing to completely destroy the Japanese southward fleet.

"It's unbelievable, Qin, you made history." Foch had a complicated expression in the command center.

As a soldier, Foch would certainly respect the strong.

But if this "strong man" is his son-in-law, it would inevitably be embarrassing.

"Ferdinand, if you continue to stay in Lan Fang, you will witness more miracles." Qin Zhiyuan is not modest.

It can be said that after this battle, Qin Zhiyuan's reputation will spread all over the world again. No matter who the soldier is, they can only look up to Qin Zhiyuan. Qin Zhiyuan does not need to be modest. Being too modest is hypocritical.

"Of course that's good. If there is no accident, I think I will stay in Lan Fang. To be honest, there is sunshine, beaches, and hospitable people here. It is much more beautiful than Europe." When necessary, Foch will also flatter people.

"Your Majesty, the torpedo plane's attack on the Japanese fleet heading south outside Cam Ranh Bay has won a great victory again. There is reliable news that the "Hiei" and "Yamashiro" have sunk. General Antonio requested to send the "France" to attack the remaining Japanese troops." A combat staff came to report.

Although he knew this result, Qin Zhiyuan still felt extremely excited when he heard the news.

The huge fleet of the Japanese army was like a nightmare, which had been weighing on Qin Zhiyuan's mind. Now he was finally relieved and felt extremely relaxed.

"You can go to war, but be careful. The Japanese combined fleet was not completely destroyed and still had the ability to threaten our navy. We must strike the Japanese army on the premise of protecting ourselves." Qin Zhiyuan did not take it lightly.

Countless battle examples have shown that many people will fail because of carelessness when they are about to succeed. Qin Zhiyuan will definitely not make such a mistake. The more critical the moment, the more cautious Qin Zhiyuan will be.

After the sinking of the four Japanese battleships, Lan Fang's "France" was the most powerful existence in this sea area. The remaining warships of the Japanese army were not without threat to the "France". They still had to cheer up to survive.

Lan Fang's naval commander was Antonio, and Lan Fang's only battleship "France" naturally became the flagship of the Blue Navy and also Antonio's ship.

When there were four battleships blocking the gate, Antonio did not dare to act rashly and could only stay in the port to preserve his strength.

But now that the four battleships no longer exist, Antonio has confidence. Antonio has not taken the 120mm main guns of the destroyers seriously. The main gun of the "France" has a caliber of 340mm. There is no need to hit the destroyer directly. Even if it forms a near-arrow bullet, the energy released by the 340mm caliber shell is enough to overturn the destroyer.

At this time, outside Cam Ranh Bay, just like after Bao Deshui launched the first attack on the Japanese fleet heading north, the remaining warships of the Japanese fleet heading south were also busy rescuing the sailors who fell into the water.

Antonio had no mercy on them.

"Everyone, fire in unison!" This was Antonio's order.
