Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The comprehensive preparations for war between China and the United States have made the Japanese government furious. This is indeed too arrogant and completely ignores the feelings of the Japanese people. Everyone knows what deploying thousands of heavy bombers in China means to Japan, especially after hearing that China  We will expand the production of napalm on a large scale, so that the monthly output will reach at least 100,000 tons. What is this going to do? Burn Japan directly to ashes? If the tiger doesn¡¯t show its power, you think I¡¯m a sick cat? Of course, attack China directly with force.  It is very unrealistic. Even if Japan's air power is not what it used to be, it is also very risky to do so, especially since Yang Feng has also been developing new aircraft in an endless stream in recent years. If nothing else, those mysterious jet fighters are enough to make people happy.  calm down.  In addition, the Japanese army is now unable to attack China. They occupy too many places. From Australia in the southern hemisphere to Siberia in the northern hemisphere, tens of millions of square kilometers of occupied areas need to be maintained, even though the Japanese army has expanded to five million people.  The scale is still stretched thin.  What's more, with the current combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, no matter how unwilling they are, the Japanese have to admit that there is still a huge gap between them and Yang Feng's troops. The war in Central Asia has well proved this. After so many years of hard work, they found that  The nasty liar can still ride on their necks and shit.  But it's different at sea. The sea is the world of the Japanese. Now the Japanese Navy is already the de facto overlord in the Pacific. The Chinese Navy is almost zero. The total number of aircraft carriers in the U.S. Navy is less than half of the Japanese Navy. In this case, then  It should have the consciousness of being a hegemon, so the Japanese decided to teach the United States a lesson to let them know who is the real master in the Pacific.  On the East China Sea, the President Coolidge cruise ship is riding the wind and waves towards its destination, Qingdao Port. With the establishment of the de facto alliance between China and the United States, this all-electric giant ship can be said to be full of money.  This trip was even directly chartered by Exxon to transport thousands of engineers and technical workers to Peiping, where they and the Yang Consortium were building a large refinery. This was just one of the cooperation projects between the two parties.  ¡°Captain, there is a Japanese destroyer chasing us.¡± The first mate hurriedly walked to the captain who was joking with guests on the deck and said.  "Are you sure it's chasing us? The captain said doubtfully. "Sure!" said the first mate. "Well, it looks like we're in trouble.  "The captain said with a shrug. The increasingly tense situation between the United States and Japan does make people very worried about the intentions of this Japanese destroyer. Using binoculars to look at the destroyer behind him that was chasing at a high speed of more than 35 knots, he did not hesitate.  Said: "Advance at full speed, and at the same time send a message to the Philippines to tell General MacArthur that the Japanese may want to intercept us.  " "In addition, send a report to Peiping. They are currently at war with Japan. They should respond faster than MacArthur, and they don't have as many worries as him.  "He looked at the sky above his head. A large four-engine aircraft was flying at high altitude. This was a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft from Peiping. It was the most common aircraft in the East China Sea. Its flying altitude of 15,000 meters allowed them to conduct unscrupulous surveillance.  The giant cruise ship with electric propulsion could not outrun the high-speed destroyer. It didn't take long for the President Coolidge to enter the main gun range of the Japanese Navy destroyer Hakaze. The Japanese order was quickly heard on the public radio to stop the ship.  Under inspection. The President Coolidge ignored this order. This is high seas. What authority do you Japanese have to order us to stop the ship? Besides, what can you do to me? If you fire an artillery attack, it will be equivalent to declaring war on the United States.  Due to the white people's sense of superiority, many passengers even gathered on the deck to watch and comment on the rapidly approaching destroyer. But at this moment, a flash of fire occurred on the other side's ship's bow, and then the roar of shells passed overhead, and on the deck.  The nest exploded all of a sudden, and the Americans hurriedly fled to the cabin one by one while screaming in terror. He didn't expect the Japanese to dare to fire, and looked at the explosion of 127mm shells not far away.  The guy quickly calmed down as he looked at the two turrets on the opposite side that continued to aim, and reluctantly gave the order to stop the ship. But at this moment, the fierce air defense came out.  The siren suddenly sounded on the destroyer, and then twenty planes appeared in the northwest sky. The President Coolidge, which had begun to slow down and gradually stopped, immediately restarted without hesitation, because this was  Twenty Twin Demons, no one had to guess that they were Chinese Air Force fighter jets from Qingdao. The Yufeng had no choice but to give up its prey. Although the Twin Demons were not bombers, their bomb loading capabilities were even comparable.  It is a special bomber of the Japanese army. If you really want to fight a lone destroyer in front of twenty such aircraft, you will not get much benefit.sp; Even at this time, the twin demons still known for their speed flew over the head of the Yukaze in the blink of an eye. The heavy bombs mounted on the belly of the aircraft were clearly visible, and the roar of high-speed flight kept shouting above the heads of the Japanese troops. Below  The Japanese sailors nervously watched these enemies that were the most unforgettable to them from the gun emplacements. The last battle in the East China Sea made the Japanese navy remember these terrifying three-headed monsters. Fortunately, because of the de facto armistice between China and Japan  , these twenty fighter jets did not attack, but kept flying over the head of the Yufeng. It was obvious that as long as the Yufeng no longer intercepted the President Coolidge, they were not prepared to attack.  However, just when the crew and passengers of the President Coolidge were thankful to have escaped the clutches of the Japanese, suddenly a small fleet consisting of a light cruiser and four destroyers appeared on the distant sea.  The plaster flags fluttering above indicated their identities. These five warships were racing towards this side at a high speed of more than 30 knots.  Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, the Yukaze did not hesitate to issue a warning with artillery shells again, but then the two Twin Demons in the sky also swooped down and plowed a line on the sea with the cannons on the nose, as if to  Warn the Japanese not to play with fire just because they think you have helpers. If you piss me off, I will kill you.  But it was obvious that the Hakaze was no longer prepared to listen to them at this time. One destroyer could not deal with twenty aircraft, but a fleet was different. After discovering that the President Coolidge was still hesitant to stop the ship, the Japanese  No more warnings were given, and a single shell directly hit the bow of the ship.  The exploding fireball was an order to attack. These Chinese Air Force pilots had no habit of tolerating the Japanese. Four Twin Demons swooped down almost at the same time. Amidst the firing of anti-aircraft guns, four 500-kilogram-class aerial bombs roared.  Falling, one of them hit the stern of the Yukaze, and the destroyer's tail gun was blown away with a huge explosion.  When I saw the war started here, the five Japanese warships in the distance opened fire immediately. However, due to the distance, only their main guns could hit them. Although the 127mm naval gun itself was mainly used for anti-aircraft purposes, it was not as close as the radio.  Exploding, it was a complete waste of artillery shells at such a distance. The plane did not hit, but two artillery shells hit the unlucky President Coolidge.  At this time, the President Coolidge had already sent a message to the Philippines that it had been attacked by the Japanese navy and the cruise ship was hit in many places. The U.S. naval fleet stationed in the Philippines immediately received the order. Of course, they were definitely too late. At the same time, the station who received the telegram  Chinese Minister Jason has sent a rescue request to Bald Man and Yang Feng at the same time in the name of the US government.  At this time, the fighting in the East China Sea is still continuing.  Obviously, even if the Japanese reinforcement fleet has arrived, the twin evil spirits in the sky are not ready to let go of the guy who provokes their dignity. Then four more planes swoop down. On the poor Yukaze, the Japanese sailors  They desperately used various artillery to shoot at the sky, but they also achieved some results. A twin demon that was preparing to drop a bomb was hit by anti-aircraft artillery.  However, the huge size, perfect armor protection, and special shape of this fighter jet made it extremely strong. Although it was riddled with holes, it still pulled out of the battlefield with black smoke after hastily dropping the bomb.  , but just as it flew away, another 500-kilogram-class aerial bomb hit the Yufeng. How could this small ship of only more than a thousand tons be able to withstand such a heavy bomb prepared for a battleship?  And two more were hit in a row, and soon the fragile hull began to sink after a series of explosions.  After destroying the Hakaze, the twin demons in the sky did not pay attention to the reinforcement fleet that had arrived. Instead, they flew over their heads arrogantly and walked away under the angry eyes of more than a thousand sailors on the five Japanese warships.  , looking at the retreating enemy, the fleet commander reluctantly ordered to go forward to rescue the crew of the Yufeng.  But just then something unexpected happened.  I don¡¯t know why, but at the waterline of the bow of the USS President Coolidge, which was putting out a fire not far away, there was a sudden flash of fire, followed by a huge explosion, and the water pressure impact instantly shredded one side of its hull.  In front of their eyes, seawater surged into this giant cruise ship with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons. What made the Japanese people even more frightened was that the decks of the Hakaze were already submerged underwater, and the torpedo launch tubes were pointed directly at the President Coolidge.  A few minutes later, MacArthur, the commander of the U.S. military stationed in the Philippines, received a telegram that dilated his pupils. The President Coolidge cruise ship, carrying nearly a thousand American citizens, was torpedoed and sunk by the Japanese Navy destroyer Hakaze in the East China Sea. The Chinese Air Force Honghu  The No. 3 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft completely recorded the entire process with cameras.  (To be continued)
