Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    General Nagumo Chudai's premonition was correct, there was indeed a third attack, and not just three times, Le Yiqin's modern version of the wheel battle was waiting for him!

    At this moment, hundreds of carrier-based aircraft of the independent division fleet, which was about to deliver a decisive blow, were running over at high speed under the command of Tang Yunfei. At the same time, hundreds of the final aircraft of the land-based mixed combat brigade taking off from Irian Island  New combat aircraft are also rushing over. The aircraft groups coming from two different directions are like the upper and lower jaws of a huge vise, biting hard.

    Looking outside the porthole, the sun was still high in the sky. It was still early before dark. General Nagumo Chuichi's instinctive intuition was that danger, boundless danger was approaching. He said hastily: "Watanabe-kun, please inform the headquarters.  According to the order, all damaged warships shall immediately leave the fleet and return to the anchorage port in northern Australia for repairs!¡±

    "The fleet immediately leaves the Banda Sea in combat formation as quickly as possible! Order the damage control departments of each aircraft carrier to complete repairs on the runway that can provide carrier-based aircraft to take off within an hour. Don't stress to me.  What's impossible! If the mission cannot be completed, the commanders of the damage control department will collectively commit suicide!"

    Admiral Nagumo is now anxious and regrets that he has jumped into the sea. Why did he send the main force of the combined fleet into the Banda Sea, an inland sea surrounded by islands? He is in an unfavorable environment surrounded by enemies on all sides and is surrounded by the China Independent Division, which he despises.  A group of base machines, chasing and beating them, driving them away and beating them?

    "If we were in the vast Pacific Ocean at this moment, the huge combined fleet would be an invincible giant. But in the inner sea of ??the Banda Sea, it would be like a ferocious shark that got into a bathtub.  It was difficult to even turn around, not to mention many of his sharp teeth were broken.  Further ahead, there is the even narrower Maluku Strait.  If the China Independent Division's coastal defense forces set up a few huge cannons, might the shells hit the warships?

    Admiral Nagumo was frightened. It was noon now, the fiery red sun was high in the sky, it was still early before dark, and it was still early to run out of the Banda Sea. Without the cover of night, hundreds of main warships of the combined fleet were there.  A dozen aircraft carriers were the most conspicuous targets. Three hours was enough for the crazy China Independent Division aviation commander Le Yiqin to launch another attack.

    The combined fleet¡¯s hundreds of warships formed a battle formation with ferocious anti-aircraft firepower, but they were very passive in the face of attacks from the air.  In the memory of General Nagumo Chudai, there was no fleet that could withstand repeated air attacks after the carrier-based aircraft lost their combat capabilities.  Neither can the combined fleet of the Imperial Navy, the absolute overlord in the Pacific!

    As for the ambition to intercept and kill the Chinese Independent Division fleet in the waters of the Caroline Islands.  Let's wait until the combined fleet escapes the current disaster, so.  The order issued by General Nagumo Chudai to the commanders of the damage control departments of each aircraft carrier is a fatal order.  It only takes one hour to create a runway for the carrier-based aircraft to take off. As for how to do it, it is their business.

    However, in Le Yiqin's plan for the Banda Sea battle, there was not enough time left for General Nagumo Chuada to attack the waves one after another, as precise as a machine. Since Le Yiqin controlled the Banda Sea,  Treating it like a big pot, it is determined to cook the main force of the Japanese naval combined fleet, and of course it will not leave it a chance to breathe.

    Less than thirty minutes after General Nagumo Tadashi's order was issued, Acting Chief of Staff Major General Watanabe came to his command cabin again. This time, Major General Watanabe was not only pale, but also lost his mind and his mouth was dry.  Smoker said, "Commander, this is unbelievable! The shipboard radar department reported that a group of aircraft of the China Independent Division was approaching the fleet's location from the direction of Irian Island and the Raja Ampat Islands!"

    "It is expected that the attack on the combined fleet will be launched in twenty minutes. You also know the situation now. What should we do?"

    "Ah!" General Nanyun Zhong's face suddenly turned green and his lips turned pale. His head buzzed. Stars were flying in front of his eyes. He stumbled and almost fainted. The third round of attack by that Chinese madman Le Yiqin came harder than expected.  It's much faster. Not even an hour's buffer time is given. I wonder, China's fighters and bombers don't need to replenish fuel and ammunition, and China's pilots don't need to rest?

    Wait, that's not right. General Nagumo Chudai suddenly realized that it was not surprising that the China Independent Division's land-based aircraft group came from the direction of Irian Island, but it was difficult to come from the direction of the Raja Ampat Islands.  I understand that there is no Chinese independent division land-based aviation heavily stationed in that direction. The fleet intelligence department has proved this, but where did the Chinese aircraft fleet come from?

    "Chief of Staff Watanabe, what's going on with the Chinese aircraft group coming from the direction of the Raja Ampat Islands?" General Chudai Nagumo roared, and then his face turned pale without a trace of blood, and he suddenly understood.  .

    "The damn China Fleet must be the carrier-based aircraft group of the damn China Fleet!" Nagumo ChuichiWith his eyes bloodshot, he muttered to himself, with an expression like a gambler who had lost all his last coin, and then thought of the sudden loss of contact with the Lu-60 submarine, all the things connected together,  He completely understood that the battle in the Banda Sea was a major conspiracy launched by the land-based aviation and fleet of the China Independent Division to target the combined fleet.

    Admiral Nagumo figured it out, but he couldn't change anything. The current main force of the combined fleet had reached a dead end. He didn't even ask the acting chief of staff, Rear Admiral Watanabe, how many carrier-based aircraft could be dispatched in less than an hour.  , the aircraft carrier's damage control department is probably still busy repairing the big hole on the aircraft carrier's take-off deck?

    The enemy he searched hard for and swore to kill, but at the most critical moment, delivered a fatal blow. Who is the hunter and who is the prey? At this moment, General Nagumo Chuda felt despair. He knew very well that the United Fleet  Even if you survive the third attack, you will pay a heavy price. Next, it will take two days at the fastest to leave the Banda Sea. Two days is enough for that Chinese madman Le Yiqin to attack five or six times.  !

    "Watanabe-kun, in the name of the Combined Fleet Headquarters, issue orders to all fleets!" Admiral Nagumo Chudai said with erratic eyes: "With our fleet's aircraft carrier as the core, we will fight independently and try our best to restore the combat effectiveness of the carrier-based aircraft.  To the last ship and one person, after this battle, the surviving warships left the Banda Sea at the fastest speed and joined the Fifth Fleet and Sixth Fleet in the Solomon Islands waters! "

    Acting Chief of Staff Rear Admiral Watanabe shuddered. He knew clearly what the fate of the main force of the combined fleet with hundreds of main battleships and more than a dozen aircraft carriers would be after the commander issued this order. They would break out in a scattered manner and leave it to fate.  , one ship escapes, how many can break out in the end depends on God's will!

    In another cabin, Chief of Staff Matsuda locked himself in, looking at the independent division aircraft flying from the horizon under the bright sunshine, his eyes full of indifference, unconsciously wiping his gun, and said to himself:  "Nagumo Chuichi, it was you who destroyed the Combined Fleet. You - you can't even compare to a finger of Commander Yamamoto. If Commander Yamamoto was still here, how could the Combined Fleet be where it is today? You are the Empire of Japan.  sinner!"

    "Bang!" A gunshot rang out. Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, the chief of staff of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, who had followed Yamamoto for more than fifty-six years, in despair, shot himself. The bullet penetrated his temple, and his body fell heavily to the ground.  .

    He did not choose the most honorable and honorable method of caesarean section to end his life, but chose to shoot himself because Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro believed that as the chief of staff of the Combined Fleet, he had no influence on the Combined Fleet today.  Given the situation, he has an unshirkable responsibility and is not worthy of choosing the most noble way for an emperor to end his life.

    The independent division fleet carrier-based aircraft fleet and the land-based aviation combat brigade aircraft fleet were filled with murderous intent. Tang Yunfei glanced around the sea. In front of his eyes, the Japanese warships' anti-aircraft firepower was fully activated, and anti-aircraft shells exploded a layer of smoke in the air. He also  We saw hundreds of Japanese warships begin to sail in scattered directions.

    "Disperse and break out!" Tang Yunfei sneered, seeing through Nagumo Chuichi's trick, "Attention, all aircraft groups, the bombers tore apart the Japanese warships' air defense firepower network, mainly attacking the Japanese aircraft carriers, attack!"

    Tang Yunfei knew that the destruction of more than a dozen aircraft carriers of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet also eliminated the possibility of the Japanese using the remaining carrier-based aircraft to carry out a final counterattack. The victory of the Battle of Banda Sea had become a foregone conclusion, and the remaining  Japanese warships could not escape from the Banda Sea.

    Compared with the combined fleet's previous dense air defense combat formation, the air defense firepower of each fleet operating in a dispersed manner is inevitably weakened. Therefore, tearing apart the Japanese air defense firepower network and attacking the aircraft group in the third wave will not cost too much.  .

    The fierce battle began again. From the sky to the sea, there were flames and smoke from anti-aircraft shells and bombs everywhere. The sound of explosions and anti-aircraft guns resounded on the sea. The Japanese Navy's combined fleet's counterattack was desperate and ferocious.  But it cannot change the situation on the battlefield.

    The fighter jets of Tang Yun's aircraft group shuttled nimbly through the barrage. Strings of machine gun bullets poured over them like raindrops, beating the Japanese sailors who were manipulating anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns to their knees and leaving them lying dead, while hundreds of bombers  , began to dive, each torpedo lightly penetrated into the sea water, and swam quickly towards their respective targets, bringing up waves filled with bubbles.

    General Tadashi Nagumo stood in the command cabin of the flagship, looking at the fierce battle outside with bullets flying like flying bullets, gunshots and explosions shaking the sky. His eyes were empty and indifferent. Acting Chief of Staff Major General Watanabe walked over lightly.  Next to him, a report came: "Commander, the fleet of the China Independent Division is rushing towards us at full speed, and is still more than ten nautical miles away from us!"

    "I know!" General Nan Yunzhong said calmlyHe said, and then, his field of vision was completely filled with the figure of a China Independent Division fighter jet.
