Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
General Kurida stood on the bridge of the battleship King Kong, feeling the trembling of the battleship under his feet. His command ship had just been hit by a bomb dropped by an American plane, and the position of an antiaircraft gun on the port side was still burning with flames and billowing smoke.
The battleship Haruna had been severely wounded by a US Navy carrier-based aircraft an hour ago. To what extent is it seriously injured? Even the destroyer Shiyu who wanted to get up to rescue some of the personnel could not get close to this behemoth because of the violent burning and explosion.
The entire hull was shrouded in thick smoke. The fire spread from the boiler room to the chimney above the hull and the vicinity of the anti-aircraft gun group. The huge explosion lifted the turret of the Hazel name from the rear. The original slender and majestic gun Although it was as if he had lost his soul, he slumped on the deck of the battleship at a weird angle. />
The once incomparable 356mm caliber main gun never had the opportunity to meet its opponent from the beginning. Those powerful shells could only stay in the ammunition depot at the core of the warship's hull because they had no target. Use the destructive explosion to build merits.
From time to time, the sound of explosions can be heard clearly even on friendly warships in the distance. Although everyone now has no intention to care about the life and death of Haruna in order to avoid American aircraft, Kurida, as the commander of the fleet, knows clearly, The battleship Haruna, now, can be said to be completely over.
"The radio station on the battleship Haruna is still silent, and we can't contact Ueda Nakasa." Kurida's adjutant walked behind his boss, bent down, and reported another bad news that caused Kurida to collapse. Tanaka was a loved general of Kurida Jiannan and a enthusiastic supporter of the big ship giant artillery. At this time, another senior general of the Japanese Navy sank with his warship, which is definitely a worse thing for the current unfavorable battle situation.
"Your general, the commander-in-chief called, ordered us to leave the battlefield north, converge on the flanking guard fleet, and leave the war zone." Another officer in the telegraph room hurriedly walked in from outside the bridge. After bending down, the respectful general The message in his hand was delivered to Kurida Keno.
Hearing the call from Koga Fungichi, Kurida's anger didn't come anywhere. His fleet was bombarded by American carrier aircraft and insisted for a full 40 minutes, but Koga Fengyi still failed to expel the US aircraft and escorted his fleet into the US fleet formation. task. The weak attack of the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet has a direct consequence, which is that his battleship attack fleet is now suffering the loss of the soldiers.
The Japanese navy ’s hematopoietic capability is not much stronger than that of its naval aviation, and because the navy is a big expensive guy, it is not even as good as naval aviation in the supplement of equipment. Unlike the US warship Shen, which complements the powerful production capacity of a warship, the Japanese Navy ’s large warships are basically the rhythm of sinking one ship less.
Occupying the dock to modify the warship is a luxury. It is necessary to squeeze the remaining capacity desperately to be able to do it. Therefore, the conversion of four King Kong-class battlecruisers at a stretch was a big move that entrusted countless people of the Japanese Navy.
The old battleship Yamashiro was sunk in the waters of Australia. The Japanese and Ise were lost in the battle of Solomon. The now refitted battleship Haruna is about to sink. The Japanese navy has to maintain the advantage of battleships. With the battle of the Bismarck Islands, the smoke was extinguished.
When I looked at the sea that was not far away, because I had lost all my speed, I could only stand still and wait there to die. After the stall, it was surpassed by the Hiei followed by King Kong, and it was further and further away from the main force of the fleet. Kurida gritted his teeth, and finally issued a command to run away: "Let Kirishima turn, leave the cruiser Aoba, and leave at the full speed to the intended sea area of ​​No. 4 and leave the war zone!"
"The carrier aircraft of the Americans has always been in a spirit, and we can see if we can go away." Li Tian issued his own combat command and stood at his command position and sighed. The least he believes now is the aircraft carrier fleet behind him, because from the battle between the two sides until now, the results achieved by the Japanese naval aviation are really not satisfactory.
Just as Kurida was turning around with his battleship fleet, Gu Hefeng and his second battleship fleet were also turning. He knew that his fleet was not close to the US carrier fleet, so he could only give up this decisive battle plan, and quickly change his tactics when the losses were tolerable.
Under his command are the more elite battleship Yamato, as well as the Longmen, which has recovered its combat effectiveness through repairs and modifications, and Mutsu. These three battleships were originally intended to serve as a response force, and later entered the U.S. aircraft carrier fleet with Kurida's fleet. But now Koga Peak one can only lead these giant warships in a hurry to steer, avoiding the sharp edge of the US Navy aviation.
Now the only thing that supports Koga Fungichi is not the stubborn Japanese navy aircraft carrier behind him and the heavy losses in the air force, but the sky that has gradually begun to darken. From noon to the exchange of fire with the U.S. fleet until now, five or six hours of torment has made Gu Hefeng extremely painful, but the night is coming, as long as he persists, he can get a long night to come for the joint fleet Take cover for the next action.
"Send another message to Li Tianjun! After letting him converge the Fusang of the wing, he turned again and used the night as a cover from the wing to kill again and return to the battlefield! With our two wings against the American fleet!" Here, Gu Hefeng issued a combat command again and again, and then began anxiously hoping for good news from the aviation side to benefit the war situation.
The second batch of suicide planes reached the center of the US Navy ’s fleet, which indeed caused countless troubles to the US Navy. These Japanese planes crashed into various warships they could see, and the US Navy lost a total of 7 ships in one breath. All kinds of combat ships.
Halsey's fleet was originally prepared, and the formation was ready to step forward to entangle the assault fleet in Kurita, but because of the Japanese suicide aircraft, it had to retreat again to ensure the foolproofness of the aircraft carrier fleet. In the vast sea, there are Japanese planes with heavy smoke falling, as well as droves of U.S. Navy pilots taking off to meet.
"Yu Xi!" After receiving the telegram from Koga Fungichi, Kurita finally found some confidence. He also saw that time seemed to be beneficial to the Japanese navy. As long as the losses were dragged into the night, any number of battleships of his fleet could rush into the US fleet and cause inestimable losses to the other side.
At this time, he simply forgot about the cruiser Hammer, which had begun to sink slowly. He forgot the heavy cruiser Aoba, which was screened by American aircraft not long after the war, and began to fantasize his Wolverine into the flock. , The majestic sight rose up. After fantasizing for a while, Kuri Tin drew out his thoughts from the beautiful nothingness, and began to reintegrate the fleet of wounded soldiers, and moved closer to the battleship Fusang on the flank.
At this time, Guhe Fengyi, who claimed to attack the U.S. Navy with the Kurita Fleet, also began to accelerate with his huge fleet in the other direction, preparing to find a better attack position before dark. Annihilate the US Navy.
At this moment, the Japanese fleet seemed to be a giant, opened its arms, and made two heavy punches, one left and one right, preparing to beat the U.S. Navy right in front. However, the US fleet is still sending out carrier-based aircraft madly and constantly, hoping to sink more Japanese warships before dark and establish its victory.
...
On the bridge of the US fleet, General Spruance took the intelligence brought back from the aviation reconnaissance aircraft from his assistant. He knew that the Japanese Navy ’s forward fleet was defeating, and the Japanese carrier fleet behind this fleet had already Exposed his position.
"General! Now we are retreating. We have achieved the results of sinking an enemy battleship ..." The staff beside him looked at the chart and suggested to his boss with some concern: "Time is very bad for us, if we Continue reckless attacks, then the night will cause us greater losses. "
Spruance looked at the location of the Japanese navy marked on the chart, and then turned his attention to the open sea on the other side. He guessed that there would be another Japanese naval fleet, and that fleet was also a deadly threat. Now the retreat is obviously very beneficial to the US Navy, but the order he just received made it difficult for him to make a decision to retreat-the situation on the Atlantic battlefield deteriorated, and the terrible opponent of the German Navy finally eased his breath and began to dispatch Provoked trouble.
"Tom, I heard that the aircraft carrier Essex will soon be launched?" Suddenly, Spruance asked another topic: "And this aircraft carrier we built very quickly, and there are ten ships under construction at the same time. among?"
"General?" Chief Tom was stunned by Spruance, and then looked at his commander with a puzzled expression.
"I mean, even if we all died here in battle, the United States will be able to build such a huge fleet in a few months?" Spruance asked calmly.
"I understand, General! Continue to take off the carrier aircraft and attack the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet!" The staff called Tom looked at General Spruance and suddenly laughed: "General Halsey, this time, I won't say you too Be cautious. "
