    Although Mengzi swept the battlefield and did not pursue him, Yamamoto Isoroku did not dare to fight decisively.  He had already lost a battleship and two destroyers, and he hadn't even caught the opponent's shadow. In this case, he could only avoid its sharp edge to avoid greater losses.  As for the army, there is no other way. The troops ashore quickly evacuated and boarded ships to move closer to Ayden. There, the area was relatively narrow and the speed disadvantage of battleships would be better. If the enemy was approaching, then use battleships and aircraft to defeat them.  A decisive battle.  After all, the enemy may not know their purpose. There are several waterways that can leave the Gulf of Aden, so that the enemy does not dare to get too close, avoid being blocked from behind, flanking from both sides, losing the advantage of speed and distance, and being forced to fight decisively.  Yamamoto Isoroku's calculation was good. That's where Li Rongbin left. Some warships can completely bypass Sokot Island and go south. After all the enemy ships have entered, they can return and block the enemy ships for a decisive battle.  .  Mengzi cleaned the battlefield and stayed around for nearly two hours, giving the landing Japanese troops enough time to evacuate. When the radar operator confirmed that all the enemy ships in the distance had left the shore and the formation was heading towards the Red Sea, Mengzi gave  Li Rongbin sent a message asking him to prepare, and the fleet here also started taking action.  In the dark night, there is no obstacle to the battleships of the advance army. With radar, they can easily lock the Japanese fleet, slowly approach, and be ready to fire at any time.  Yamamoto Isoroku did not evacuate all at once. He left two torpedo boats as a warning, and the group sailed towards Eden.  At the same time, Hideki Tojo was notified to travel 200 to 300 kilometers and arrive offshore at Ayden.  Fortunately, the enemy's pursuit was not fast at this time, and he was not worried about Tojo Hide's opportunity being blocked, otherwise.  The only way to defeat the British fleet is to fight to the death.  After two hours of sailing, Mengzi's fleet saw two torpedo boats staying behind and sailing slowly at only four or five knots.  Leaving an observation post This was just what he wanted, and he ordered the two torpedo boats to be bombarded, but not to be sunk.  The two torpedo boats are sailing slowly.  The observers also opened their eyes wide, looking for any suspicious wooden pens on the sea. Suddenly, one of the observers saw the light of fire in the distance.  The flash of fire startled him, and then the alarm bell sounded, and the two torpedo boats accelerated like frightened rabbits.  In just ten seconds, the speed increased to 20 knots, which was a desperate effort.  Just as they were speeding up, there were several loud bangs a thousand meters away behind them. It was obvious that the enemy had bombarded the position they had just passed, but they just failed to calculate their speed accurately.  "The enemy ship is coming!" The moment it was confirmed that it was an enemy ship, everyone was shocked.  They couldn't even withstand a hundred-caliber shell.  How dare you fight against the fleet?  So, while powering Yamamoto Isoroku, he moved forward at full speed. The battleship was like a wild horse, its engine roared, and it rushed towards the retreating fleet at full speed.  "Speed ??up and maintain formation!" Yamamoto Isoroku looked at the map.  While ordering the fleet to speed up.  He planned to split the fleet, with the aircraft carrier formation plus four battleships and destroyers, and the cruiser bypassing Kosot Island, leaving only the heavy cruiser, a dozen frigates, and the injured Yamashiro.  A flanking attack from both sides will definitely allow the opponent to fight decisively. The long-range advantage and speed of artillery fire will also disappear in the flanking attack. With strong combat power, Yamamoto Isoroku has no reason not to believe that victory will belong to him.  He is a gambler.  But it's not a blind, bad gamble.  As the plan was finalized, the battleship formation began to change. When it arrived in the south-facing waters west of Kosot Island, the fleet broke away from the group and was in the dark.  Head south.  At this time, Mengzi had already chased the fleet to a position less than thirty nautical miles away, and was in no hurry to approach.  After receiving the changes in the enemy fleet, he smiled and then ordered the fleet to accelerate forward and enter the shooting range.  The fleet separated and before reaching the south channel, suddenly, the fast warship exploring the path in front approached the fire that kept flashing in the distance.  Enemy ship?  The exploring warship slowed down in confusion, preparing to find out.  Just as it was slowing down, the scream of cannonballs came, and then pieces of cannonballs fell, setting off jets of water around the battleship.  It¡¯s an enemy ship!  !  The captain was shocked and ignored the danger of turning around. He ordered an emergency U-turn and sent a light signal to the rear.  Without him sending a signal, the battleship behind could also hear the explosion. Although it was more than ten nautical miles away, it was heard very clearly.  There is an ambush!  This is what everyone thinks.  In just a short time, the path-exploring battleship was hit by three shells. The shells overturned a secondary gun and shattered several anti-aircraft machine guns. However, there was no damage to the battleship.cause too much damage.  But this was enough to scare the Japanese troops on the battleship to death. They desperately increased their horsepower. The battleship drew an arc, a U-shape. The battleship tilted and turned quickly, and fled desperately.  "Sea Wolf, prepare!" Li Rongbin did not sink the battleship. Although one round of armor-piercing shells would be enough, he did not waste the armor-piercing shells on this small boat. His mission was not to sink the enemy ship, but to block the road.  As soon as we learned that there was an interception on the southbound sea route, Yamamoto Isoroku came under heavy shelling.  One shell after another exploded around the battleship, causing chaos in the battleship group that was suddenly bombarded. Then, under the order of Yamamoto Isoroku, the camp was prepared.  At this moment, there was a loud bang, and the Yamashiro at the end was hit by a torpedo at the stern. Fortunately, there was no whole team announcement, it just exploded at the stern of the ship, and even the drive shaft was not damaged.  This loud noise suddenly alerted Yamamoto Isoroku. The enemy had set up a plan to annihilate his combined fleet in the Gulf of Aden.  Abandon troop transports and supply ships, as well as landing ships?  This was a difficult question that made it difficult for him to make a decision.  If you don't give up, the opponent will chase after you. Not only can't they catch up with the enemy in speed, but they can't keep up with their range.  Coupled with the torpedo attack, the opponent's submarine was escorted by long-range artillery fire, and the destroyer was unable to drop depth charges at all. In other words, it could not stop the submarine's long-distance raid.  After thinking about it quickly, and knowing that the Yamashiro would not delay sailing and would only lose two knots in speed and not take in much water, he ordered the ship to rush inward at full speed.  Since you want to bet, bet bigger.  Doesn¡¯t the other party want to destroy itself?  Then enter the Red Sea. The water channel there is narrow and it is impossible for the opponent's warships to enter densely. As long as you block it, the enemy will want to enter.  That's courting death!  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  Finished generating electricity.  Send electricity to the headquarters, request support from the combined fleet, use superior forces to attack from both inside and outside, and annihilate everyone is not guaranteed!  A torpedo was released, but Mengzi did not let the submarine continue to attack.  He did not want to sink many warships, but to drive the warships into the Red Sea.  Complete the established plan.  The Japanese base camp received a message from Yamamoto Isoroku asking for help. Although there was no defeat in the lines, it was possible that the combined fleet of three aircraft carriers, six battleships, four heavy cruisers, and more than 30 large and small battleships could ask for help. This shows that he  There's a lot of pressure there.  So.  Not daring to neglect, they quickly gathered the remaining warships from the Philippines and Malacca to march towards the battlefield.  At the same time, an aircraft carrier formation remaining in Australia was ordered to rush to the Gulf of Aden and have a decisive battle there!  Mengzi was relieved when he received information from the radar operator and submarine that the enemy fleet was heading straight towards the depths of the Gulf of Aden.  The Japanese army's lack of effort was exactly what he wanted. Otherwise, the sinking of the Fuso was an example. It took eleven torpedoes and took nearly twenty minutes to sink. Such a resistant warship was not something that his 200-caliber artillery could sink in a short time.  Unless it's accurate enough.  Otherwise it will be difficult to compete head-on.  As for whether the enemy asks for help or something, he only needs to drive the Japanese fleet into the Red Sea, and his mission will be completed.  So, following the Japanese warships, they fired from time to time with main guns.  But they were all high-explosive bombs. Except for the soldiers on the next few heavy cruisers and battleships who did not dare to go on the deck, they only blew up some anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, and even the secondary guns could not be fired.  Although he was chased and beaten, he was not seriously injured. This made Yamamoto Isoroku endure it.  He ordered the fleet to go straight into the Red Sea. He believed that it was a fool's errand. They were not fast, and neither could the enemy. They could not reach thirty knots like in the wide seas, and naturally they could not compare with daytime, otherwise they would not have hit the rocks.  possible.  Sure enough, his speed was not fast, and neither was the speed of the pursuers behind him. He just hit them with a few shots, and followed them without any pain.  In the early hours of the morning, Ayden's fleet, which had no longer entered the Red Sea, used landing ships and troop transports to block the explored waterway, creating a safe and spacious channel for the group behind, allowing Yamamoto Isoroku to pass quickly.  , until the last battleship.  After passing the narrowest point, four undamaged battleships and four heavy cruisers stopped. The bows of the ships were tilted towards the exit of the Red Sea, their main and secondary guns all raised, and behind them were torpedo destroyers and fish.  The frigate is waiting in the dark for the enemy to attack.  This place is narrow, and they don¡¯t believe that the enemy dares to come in just like this.  If the lights are not turned on, then their speed will be slow. It will be difficult for them to speed up or turn around, and multiple ships cannot enter at the same time. By then, the huge cannon on the battleship Love You will be able to exert its power and withstand the opponent's bombardment.  , exchanging injuries for injuries, offsetting the opponent's advantages of fast speed and long artillery range, and charging head-on.In the ground formation, I love you to block them in a narrow place and have a decisive battle.  The heavy fog slowly drifted up, and the white fish belly appeared in the east. More than a few hours passed, and the waiting battleship was actually beautiful and spotted the enemy.  Didn¡¯t the enemy come after you?  Feeling that something is wrong, the silly girl Ben Fifty-Six is ??not afraid that the other party will block the outlet, but that he is afraid that the other party will run away and the fleet of reinforcements will not be able to block them.  "Go out and take a look and see what's going on with the enemy ships!" He didn't order the plane to take off, but asked a fast battleship to go out and take a look. Otherwise, if the plane took off, the other side wouldn't necessarily bombard them, but the warships would be different. They would  If you stay outside, they will fire.  In this way, the purpose of tying the other party is achieved.  But the battleship had just sailed less than a nautical mile when a loud noise suddenly tore apart the silence of the morning, and a column of water rose into the sky next to the battleship.  Torpedo?  Or All the warships saw what was happening there. It was obviously either a torpedo or a mine.  Sure enough, the fast battleship tilted rapidly amidst the loud noise, with a huge hole gaping horribly on the side, and seawater poured in crazily. In just a minute or two, the battleship tilted to thirty degrees.  There was no hope of righting the battleship. All Japanese troops abandoned the ship under the captain's order. At the same time, a light signal was sent and they touched a mine.  "The mine blocked the exit!?" Yamamoto Isoroku was reported later and couldn't help but be confused.  Mines are not something that can be deployed immediately.  How could the other party have delivered the mine right under their noses in two hours? ?????????? But in the early morning, when a large group of warships and ships entered, no mines were touched. Doesn¡¯t that mean that the mines only appeared after the warships came in?  Just when he was confused, a message came.  On land, Tojo Hideki was raided by the advance army overnight. He collapsed at the first touch and quickly fled towards this side. The advance army was also chasing after them, as if they knew that their fleet was coming.  Just after reading the telegram, Seishiro Itagaki also sent a telegram, requesting that the defense line be quickly organized and constructed. The enemy made a surprise attack in the early morning, chasing them towards the mouth of the Red Sea.
