Age of Conquest Reborn

Rear Admiral Sato, acting commander of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, stood in the command cabin of the flagship "Asahi" and looked at the Japanese division fleet that was surrounded from both wings with an expressionless face. He looked like a general who was not afraid of danger. If you are careful,

People can see that Major General Sato's body is shaking uncontrollably, and the panic and despair in his eyes reveal the true world in his heart.

Sato can only do this to stabilize the morale of the military. Other than that, he has no other way to get rid of the current situation. So far, no news has come from the Chief of General Staff. It turns out that what he judged is not so at all.

The thing is, the Navy Division's fleet did not suffer any losses, so the joint strangulation of the Empire's land, sea and air forces failed.

He was heading towards the Strait of Malacca in a hurry, but he brought the fleet into the tiger's mouth. Sato suddenly hated the Chief of General Staff, Prince Zain, "Why didn't he inform him of the failure of the Imperial Sea, Army and Air Force? In other words, even if

It might as well be a reminder. If not for this temptation, the Third Fleet could have withdrawn south to the Indian Ocean and avoided the encirclement of the First Division fleet."

"Whether you can escape in the end is God's will. It is much better than throwing yourself into a trap." Now, everything is too late. We can't fight or escape. Is there any foreign aid? Sato smiled miserably. If there was, he would have appeared long ago. As for

The third batch of aircraft reinforcements came from Okinawa. Sato did not hold out any hope, and he was too disappointed.

A staff officer said cautiously: "Your Excellency, Acting Commander, the China Fleet has sent a signal for us to surrender unconditionally, otherwise..." The staff officer glanced at Sato's face, and Sato asked in a lifeless voice: "Otherwise what?" "Otherwise?"

, sink all our warships, and do not treat prisoners of war." the staff officer replied.

The muscles on Sato's face twitched involuntarily, "Sink them all? No. Otherwise, the Third Fleet would not have existed until now. It was already wiped out yesterday. Why would that China devil bother to go to such unnecessary lengths? His purpose

It is a warship of the Third Fleet. How can the proud Imperial Japanese Navy be captured by the inferior Chinese and treated as prisoners of war? There will be no prisoners of war."

Sato's eyes glowed with iron-grey light, and he said to the staff: "Answer the Chinese people, there is no precedent for the Imperial Japanese Navy to surrender. Convey my order, each ship fights independently, and it is time to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan."

When the time comes, I would rather be broken into pieces than surrender!"

Then, he bowed deeply to the officers behind him and said, "Gentlemen, today, we are all witnessing the spirit of the Imperial Navy who would rather die than surrender. Sato asks you to fight to the end." After saying that, Sato stood before the Japanese officers.

Under the watchful eye, he walked into his cabin, leaving the officers at a loss, "Everyone is fighting, what should he fight with?"

Captain Xin Xiguo, chief of staff of the fleet, came in and whispered to Tang Qiuquan: "Commander, the Japanese refused to surrender and took a desperate posture." Tang Qiuquan smiled disdainfully and said to Xin Xiguo: "It's still the same old thing. I thought the Japanese

If the navy can come up with some new tricks, it's nothing more than bullshit bushido. Chief of Staff, order the fleet to start attacking immediately."

"At the same time, the captains are reminded to prevent the Japanese mad dogs from biting people. The remaining fleet of carrier-based aircraft will cooperate with the Marine Corps to board the ship and the speedboat brigade to engage in close combat and eliminate the Third Fleet as quickly as possible."

Tang Qiuquan had long expected this situation. The Japanese were not willing to surrender. He was anxious and persuaded the Japanese ships to surrender, just to save time and organize air defense. Otherwise, once the Japanese aircraft group broke through the interception of the carrier-based aircraft, they would be intercepted by the carrier-based aircraft.

It would be difficult to achieve a perfect result for what happened next. Although he believed in his pilots, there was a huge gap in strength, so he had to prepare for the worst.

On the sea, the Japanese sailors gathered on the deck, holding various weapons, some without guns, and a fire ax in their hands, in a desperate posture, while the Japanese warships were running at full speed, like mad cows.

, and collided with the encircling Navy Division warships. Seeing this situation, Qiuquan's sarcastic smile became even stronger.

The fleet's two fleets of speedboats immediately rushed up to meet them. The rapid-fire cannons on the boats sent dense shells to the deck of the Japanese warship. The explosions caused the Japanese sailors to fly bloody and bloody. If the Japanese soldiers did not run to the deck, they would launch a desperate attack.

It took a lot of effort to put the posture in order. Several Japanese warships had remaining naval guns. Before the cannonballs could be fired, they were blown up into the air by several cannonballs.

I don’t know if it was the stupid Japanese captain who issued such a death-seeking order. As a result, all the Japanese ships rushed to follow suit. For fear that they were not enough Bushido and not loyal enough to His Majesty the Emperor, they drove the sailors to the deck and used rifles to attack them.

The light machine guns fought tooth and nail with the Marine Corps warships, but this gave the speedboat brigade a chance to sweep away the fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

Rapid-fire cannons with a caliber of more than 40 millimeters cannot damage the deck of the Japanese warship, but it is undoubtedly a disaster for the Japanese sailors on the deck. The cannons rumble and the fire flashes. The speedboat nimbly avoids the collision of the Japanese warship.

Moving around the Japanese warship lightly, more than twenty carrier-based aircraft also joined the battle in the sky. Every moving object on the deck of the Japanese warship would attract a hail of bullets.

Soldiers from the Fifth Brigade of the Marine Corps drove an assault boat. After approaching, they hooked the cables to the side of the Japanese warship and began to board the ship by force. Tang Qiuquan, who saw all this through the telescope, showed a tired smile.

We know that the battle to capture the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet is already in sight.

In a daze, there was a wave of heat surging in Qiuquan's chest. After two thrilling days and one night, he finally lived up to his mission. Not one of the more than fifty warships of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, including three aircraft carriers, sank.

In the hands of a military master, the hardships and dangers involved can be explained clearly in a few words.

Qiuquan just sat frozen on the chair, motionless. More than an hour later, the fleet chief of staff Xin Xiguo came in. Looking at the commander who seemed to have tears in his eyes, he was silent for a moment and said: "Commander, the Marine Corps' second

Major General Gao Yanfeng, commander of the fifth brigade, reported that all units under the brigade have taken control of all Japanese warships."

Qiuquan stood up suddenly, his face already as grim as usual, and said: "Immediately receive the Japanese warships, and at the same time, order the fleet to enter the first-level air defense state, and report to the division that our fleet captured all the ships of the Japanese Third Fleet at about 3:00 pm on the 20th.

, no one was damaged, please give instructions on the fleet’s next move.”

Soon, he received an order from division commander Tang Qiuli, "The fleet and the captured Japanese warships will immediately move closer to Mawlamyine in southern Myanmar. The air defense brigade of the Ma Chaoyang Corps will provide ground fire support."

Tang Qiuli's order is also the meaning of the title. After taking down the Third Fleet, it is now a question of how to escape. With the strength of the fleet's carrier-based aircraft, it is difficult to prevent the Japanese bomber group and fighter group from breaking through.

The air defense brigade of the Ma Chaoyang Corps happened to be stationed on the front line of Mawlamyine. The fleet's air defense firepower and ground air defense firepower cooperated with each other, adding an extra layer of insurance.

Surrounded by a large group of staff officers and guards, Qiuquan boarded the Asahi, the flagship of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, and walked over the bloodstains and corpses of Japanese sailors to the command cabin, the 5th Marine Corps Brigade.

Major General Chang Gao Yanfeng hurriedly came up to greet him.

Standing at attention, he reported, "Commander, Commander of the Fifth Brigade, Gao Yanfeng, reported that our brigade successfully ended the battle." Qiuquan asked: "Commander Gao, what are the casualties?" Gao Yanfeng replied: "One hundred and six were killed.

Seventeen people, 304 injured," Qiuquan frowned. There were so many casualties. After thinking about it, he felt relieved.

The average casualty in occupying a Japanese ship is less than ten people. This is no better than land combat. There is room for maneuver and warships are only that big. Gao Yanfeng can do this, which is already quite outstanding. He nodded and saw Gao Yanfeng

As if he still had something to say, he asked: "Gao Yanfeng, do you have anything else to do?"

Gao Yanfeng hesitated and said: "Commander, more than 780 Japanese sailors have been captured. Please tell me, Commander, what should be done with them?" Qiu Quan glanced at him and said coldly: "Shoot them on the spot and throw them into the sea.

Feed the sharks, from their refusal to surrender

From that moment on, you lose the qualifications to be a prisoner of war. Gao Yanfeng, you are also an old man of the Marine Corps. Following your commanders Su Jingfeng and Han Tie, we fought from North China to the south of the Yangtze River. Could it be that if we transform into the Marine Corps, we will

Have you forgotten the master’s old rules?”

After being scolded by the commander, Gao Yanfeng not only did not get angry, but smiled with relief, and said somewhat embarrassedly: "Commander, I was afraid that you would get angry. The boys under my command were really angry. Seeing that,

The brothers suffered casualties and their eyes were red. In addition, the little Japanese resisted desperately and refused to surrender, and even destroyed the equipment on the warship. They were unable to restrain their anger for a while, and they all went crazy."

Tang Qiuquan was speechless for a while, I dare you, Gao Yanfeng, you killed all the Japanese before asking for instructions. If you didn't agree, Gao Yanfeng would also find a way to get rid of these Japanese garbage, "Gao Yanfeng, your hands

It's fast enough, but good job," Gao Yanfeng said a little proudly.

A large group of staff officers followed, most of whom graduated from Qingdao Command College of the Navy. They experienced large-scale battles for the first time. They were already feeling thrilling. They met a fleet vice-admiral commander and a Marine Corps major-general brigade commander.

, decided the lives of nearly nine hundred prisoners of war. In addition to being extremely shocked, the look in Gao Yanfeng's eyes was somewhat strange, as if he was seeing a devil.

Gao Yanfeng turned a blind eye to these glances, and felt very calm in his heart, "Huh, a bunch of young children, if they knew that this was a rule set by the teacher, they wouldn't faint in surprise? It would be strange to see that."

He led the way and said as he walked: "Commander, ahead is the cabin of the Third Fleet Commander Sato. That guy has already met the Lord of Hell. Can you go over and take a look?"
