The eagle spreads its wings and flies high, accompanied by glory and blood. The lofty pursuit shows the blue sky the mission of the eagle to attack the sky!————“Kongchen Quotations”
The blue water and blue sky, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the turbulent sea, but a bloody battle of life and death is still going on on the sea that should be calm and peaceful.
The smoke was thick, the guns roared, and steel and blood intertwined into a cruel scene. Although the Hainan naval fleet was powerful in combat, it was unable to defeat the four-handed force with two fists, and the Hainan Army also suffered heavy casualties.
After the heavy cruiser Huanghai sank two ships in a row and seriously damaged three Japanese medium-sized warships, it was hit by the Japanese main ship's bow main gun on the bridge. Captain Deng Chaowei and the staff adjutant died on the spot.
The raging fire ignited the ammunition depot, and there were only a few survivors after the explosion. The burning Huanghai sank with shining achievements in the flames. This was also the first time in the history of the Hainan Army that a senior general was killed in action.
Li Weidong only received the report on the battle situation on the front line of the battlefield five minutes later. When he learned that a senior general had been killed, he couldn't help but feel a little heavy.
"General!" Looking at the waves outside the ship's side, the adjutant Gao Yi behind him shouted worriedly.
"I'm fine, let me be quiet!" Li Weidong said calmly, but the death telegram in his hand and the white knuckles proved that he was not as calm as he appeared.
Of course he knew Deng Chaowei who was killed in action. It can be said that Li Weidong could name most of the senior generals of the Hainan Army, and Deng Chaowei was no exception. He had a traditional military character and a rigorous style.
, unsmiling.
In fact, Li Weidong knew that this moment would come as early as the beginning of this naval battle, but as a helmsman, he knew clearly that he must carry it even if he couldn't bear it.
After a long time, looking at the sunset in the distance, Li Weidong regained his composure and said: "Tit for tooth, blood for blood! Let Zhao Yujian start taking action, it's time to make the little devil pay some price!"
At the same time, Japanese commander Yamamoto Isoroku still didn't know that a plan against the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet had been quietly launched. For him, the current troubles were enough to make his irritable mind swell.
Whether it is the commander of the Japanese Navy or the Japanese Army, whether it is on the South China battlefield or the South China Sea battlefield, the Hainan Army is definitely the most difficult opponent.
With their tenacious fighting spirit and sophisticated weapons and equipment, if the two sides compete one-on-one on the battlefield, the Hainan Army will often have a slight advantage, and the Japanese Army has suffered losses at the hands of the Hainan Army more than once.
However, while many Japanese generals hate the Hainan Army, a powerful opponent, they are also very afraid of this opponent. For example, the commander of the Japanese fleet in front of them is Yamamoto Isoroku.
The prestige of the Hainan Army was built on the defeat of many Japanese generals, which made every Japanese general want to defeat this opponent, so Yamamoto Isoroku himself was no exception.
But when the "Izumo" aircraft carrier at the end of the team was blocked by a Hainan Navy submarine, he knew that he was in big trouble this time. But he had to save it because he couldn't bear the responsibility for the loss of an aircraft carrier, and
I don’t know where the secretive submarine force of the Hainan Army is hiding, and whether it will give the other two aircraft carriers a fatal blow at any time.
As a last resort, he had no choice but to order the Japanese task force, which was still entangled with the Hainan Army's main fleet, to speed up its return to rescue the Japanese aircraft carrier formation at a critical juncture.
But at this time, when he issued the order, he did not consider the consequences of doing so. There is a saying in the art of war: make a strong effort, then weaken again, and then exhaust it three times. The other side is exhausted and I am full, so I defeat it. On the stalemate battlefield, the Japanese navy once retreated
, the momentum plummeted, and the pressure on the Hainan Army suddenly dropped significantly.
"Order the frontline commanders to hold them back at all costs, and they must not be allowed to compete with the Japanese aircraft carrier formation!" Navy Commander-in-Chief Zhao Yujian put down his telescope and ordered.
"Are the bombers ready? I don't want them to lose control here!" Zhao Yujian asked suddenly. If something went wrong with the bombers at this time, it would be really fatal, so he asked again.
"The bomber formation is already ready! The air combat fighters are fighting for air supremacy!" A major staff officer snapped and stood at attention, saluting in reply.
"Very good, let the fighters increase their intensity! It's up to us next!" Zhao Yujian was completely excited. The glorious rise of the Chinese Navy will begin from this moment.
Time passed by, and after the Hainan Army gradually gained control of the air, the Hainan Army's bomber formation no longer had any worries. According to the previous training content, the huge fleet of five bomber squadrons roared into the blue sky with spread wings.
Prior to this, combat orders had been issued to fighter pilots. Each pilot had already kept the appearance of the Japanese aircraft carriers in mind and headed straight for them according to the command's orders.
Against the background of the already slightly orange sunset and red clouds, the Hainan Army's bombers first aimed at small black dots, and then gradually zoomed in.
"Woooo~!" The shrill air-raid siren sounded again. His worst fears came true, and Yamamoto Isoroku's already irritable mood suddenly became even worse.
The first aircraft carrier to be attacked was the Japanese aircraft carrier "Rime", which was refitted and launched by Japan in 35 years. According to the information provided by the Intelligence Section, the "Rime" aircraft carrier was modified from a giant civilian ship. Although
After many modifications by the Japanese Navy, a lot of defensive armor was added, but it still could not change its theme of being a civilian ship, so its weak defense became the focus of bomber attacks.
There were still a lot of air defense weapons on the "Rime" aircraft carrier. After discovering that Hainan Army bombers were targeting them, the Japanese soldiers on board immediately organized their air defense capabilities and fired anti-aircraft guns into the sky one after another.
However, the Hainan Army aviation force was not intimidated by the dense anti-aircraft guns on the Japanese aircraft carrier. They had already risked their lives and only remembered one purpose, which was to drop aerial bombs on the Japanese soldiers' heads.
"Boom~!" The waves caused by the explosion, the power of the high-explosive aerial bombs specially prepared by Li Weidong for the Japanese devils, even if they exploded near the Japanese aircraft carrier, they could still have a serious impact on the Japanese army.
Among the four aviation high-explosive bombs dropped by the first four bombers, two directly hit the flight deck of the aircraft carrier. The first deck was instantly torn apart by the explosion, and the hangar below the deck was in a mess.
But the remnant power of the explosion ended here. The bullet marks from the explosion only barely damaged the second deck of the aircraft carrier, but did not penetrate into the interior and cause greater damage. Obviously, this kind of blow was not enough to sink the huge aircraft carrier.
However, the "Rime"'s luck was only temporary, and the bombers behind it quickly followed up and launched an attack according to the established bombing method.
For the second time, after losing one aircraft, the eight dive bombers successfully dropped five aerial bombs on the "Rime". The deck quickly ignited a sky-high fire, and the spreading flames soon completely enveloped it.
Lived on the aircraft carrier.
The smoke of the explosion was blown away by the sea breeze, and under the burning fire in the sunset, it also reflected the pale and desperate face of Yamamoto Isoroku.
