Age of Conquest Reborn

The figure of the fighter jet expanded infinitely in the field of vision, and then, several streaks of orange-red flames rushed towards the face, "Click, click, click!" A few strings of bullets, with a sudden trajectory, penetrated the glass of the cabin, hitting the bulkhead with sparks.

The bullets splashed, and then, which independent division fighter jet flew quickly almost close to the mast. The pilot who was shooting at ultra-low altitude had no idea what kind of achievements his string of machine gun bullets had created?

Admiral Nagumo Tadayachi, the commander of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, had several large holes in his chest, and blood spurted out. The body fell to the ground with eyes wide open. The acting chief of staff beside him, Rear Admiral Watanabe, died at the same time.

Unfortunately, Major General Watanabe's head was hit by a large-caliber machine gun bullet and turned into a rotten watermelon. The white brains and red blood spattered on the Major General's uniform. The death was ugly.

An accident happened almost instantly. The supreme commander of the combined fleet was shattered, the acting chief of staff was shattered, and the two giants of the headquarters were shattered at the same time. On the contrary, only three of the staff officers in the command cabin fell into a pool of blood.

, the others are safe and sound.

The staff members panicked and stared at the bloody corpses of the two officers. Then they realized that the two top commanders were gone and the combined fleet was now leaderless. Fortunately, one of the staff members remembered that they had been killed by the South.

Commander Yun drove away Chief of Staff Matsuda, so he hurriedly braved the flying bullets to search for him. The result was even more tragic. After breaking open the locked hatch, what he saw were the bodies of Chief of Staff Matsuda and Yu Wen.

A few minutes later, messages regarding Combined Fleet Commander Admiral Nagumo Tadayama, Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Matsuda, and Acting Chief of Staff Rear Admiral Watanabe Tamaki were sent to the respective fleet commanders. Such bad news. For these,

The blow to the Japanese generals is self-evident. Fortunately, General Nagumo Tadashi gave the order to fight independently. Otherwise, the fleet commanders who are accustomed to obeying the orders of their superiors really don't know what to do?

However, the order to fight independently could not save the fate of several Japanese fleets. Tang Yunfei's tactic of attacking the Japanese aircraft carriers first had a miraculous effect. After being hit again, although the dozen or so Japanese aircraft carriers relied on their large size, they were not

It sank, but the take-off deck was riddled with holes. Let alone repair it within three hours, there was no chance of anything taking off on it without a few months.

After half-crushing more than a dozen Japanese aircraft carriers, Tang Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief. The possibility of Japanese carrier-based aircraft being dispatched was completely blocked. The remaining Japanese warships were just meat on the chopping board and could be attacked calmly.

.

"Attention all attack aircraft groups and bomber groups. Change your tactics, choose your own targets, and focus on sinking the main Japanese warships!" He issued the order. At this moment, the Japanese Navy's combined fleet has lost more than one-fifth of its warships. The sea surface

On the street, billowing black smoke and fires could be seen everywhere. From time to time, there were explosions or Japanese warships gradually sinking.

Then, Tang Yunfei picked up the intercom and reported to the battle headquarters: "Command, my third wave of mixed attack aircraft has destroyed the take-off decks of all Japanese aircraft carriers, and is now attacking the Japanese main ships!"

In Makassar, Sulawesi, Le Yiqin looked at the statistical loss report of the second wave of attack aircraft with a fierce look in his eyes, and gritted his teeth. The loss was too great. Since then,

When the Southern Flying Group formed an army, they suffered unprecedented losses. Of more than 200 fighter jets, only 58 flew back. His heart was bleeding, his eyeballs were bloodshot, and his face was terrifyingly hideous.

"Commander!" Chief of Staff He Zhijun called him worriedly.

Only then did Le Yiqin notice that Tang Yunfei's report came from the ground-to-air communication radio. He picked up the intercom and shouted loudly: "Well done! Tang Yunfei, I order you to sink all Japanese ships.

In addition, I will never accept the surrender of the little devil!"

The murderous intent came through the radio waves. Tang Yunfei could definitely feel Le Yiqin's murderous intent at this moment. He also knew why, so he replied succinctly: "Yes!"

At the same time, the fleet that was speeding towards the war zone also received the same report from Tang Yunfei. Tang Qiuquan said to Chief of Staff Ge Zhenzhuang: "Order the fleet to start attacking and block the opening in the north! Report to Le that the fleet has started attacking.

commander!"

Following Tang Qiuquan's order, more than a hundred warships of the Independence Division raised their thick muzzles of naval guns. The Japanese warships that were scattered and scattered by the bombs in the air were hit hard by naval gun shells, and even more

Aggravating the disaster, the Japanese warships who wanted to break through the Maluku Strait in the north suddenly became desperate. The roaring shells told them that this way was blocked!

In Makassar, Le Yiqin's mood calmed down a bit. She looked at He Zhijun and said: "Zhijun, the third wave of attacks by the fleet's carrier-based aircraft group has basically come to an end. Now it's a warship-on-warship artillery battle.

In terms of numbers, we do not have an advantage. We order the first wave of attack aircraft groups and the second wave of bomber groups to take off immediately to join the fourth wave of attacks!"

Night falls on the Banda Sea, and the smoke of a day's fierce battle is blown away by the rising sea breeze. The Japanese warships burning with fire, like bright candles, are particularly eye-catching in the dark night. The main force of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet

, lost more than one-third of the warships, but failed to achieve the goal of quickly escaping from the Banda Sea. More than a hundred warships of the independent division fleet, like door gods, blocked the passage to the Maluku Strait.

Tang Qiuquan's style of play was just two words: "Strive for stability!" The fleet concentrated all its artillery fire and firmly controlled the northern waters of the Banda Sea, the narrow waterway between Buru Island and Sulabesi Island. Whenever the Japanese warships tried to attack

, they would be bombarded by a burst of large-caliber artillery shells that were as dense as raindrops, causing fireworks to explode. Coupled with the bombing from the air, the attempts of the Japanese warships were shattered time and time again.

Tang Qiuquan knew very well in his heart that the fleet had joined forces with the Southern Flying Group and the entire Banda Sea area was already a huge and complete encirclement. The Japanese Navy Combined Fleet had lost the possibility of breaking out. Now it was a matter of catching the turtle in the urn and fighting it without delay.

, there is no need to fight against the Japanese warships.

The battle in the Banda Sea temporarily stopped as night fell. The remaining warships of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet are now in a dilemma. Continuing to the north is not only meaningless, but also becomes impossible. Commander Nagumo Chuichi

Before the official's death, the plan to annihilate the China Independent Division fleet had become a laughing stock.

Do you still need to search and intercept? The opponent has already arrived, blocking the narrow waterway between Bulu Island and Sulabesi Island. The enemy fleet, with the cooperation of carrier-based aircraft, passes through the Maluku Strait and enters the Caroline Islands.

The archipelago waters are basically a dead end.

It is even more difficult to turn around and return to the northern port of Australia. The current position of the combined fleet is in the northern waters of the Banda Sea. It has entered too deep and cannot escape from this sea area within two or three days. It is still under normal navigation conditions.

When it gets dark tomorrow, can the Chinese bombers and fighter jets let him go? With the current situation of the combined fleet, can they sustain it for two or three days?

But being trapped in the Banda Sea is obviously not possible. The result is the fate of the entire army being annihilated. The commanders of several fleets are like mirrors in their hearts. They usually are not convinced by each other. Now, they still have their own reasons.

Everyone had their own opinions and argued on the phone for most of the day, but they didn't come up with a charter that everyone accepted.

Seeing that time was passing by, if a decision was not made, it would be too late. No one would be able to escape after dawn, so they compromised with each other and finally reached a consensus.

First of all, the commander-in-chief, General Chuichi Nagumo, the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Matsuda, and the acting chief of staff, Rear-Admiral Watanabe Tamaki. The combined fleet was severely damaged by the land-based aviation and fleet of the China Independent Division in the Banda Sea, and all aircraft carriers were lost, more than half of them.

The situation of the warships is reported to the base camp and the Navy Department.

Inform the Fifth Fleet and the Sixth Fleet, don't be like idiots and look for traces of the China Independent Division fleet in the waters of the Solomon Islands. They are now in the Banda Sea, blocking the Combined Fleet and fighting hard. Our situation is very bad.

Wonderful, your two fleets come over quickly and respond in the Timor Sea.

Finally, in order to avoid being dragged down, all warships that were damaged and couldn't keep up with their speed were scuttled, including those dozen aircraft carriers. Then, the warships that had no battle damage and whose speed was not affected, took advantage of the cover of night to immediately turn around and return to Australia at full speed.

Northern port, this is the only way out.

The Japanese were still fierce. Tang Qiuquan, who had just rested, was awakened by the loud explosions. He jumped up, and the door of the rest room was pushed open. Fleet Deputy Commander Amosiev, Chief of Staff

Ge Zhenzhuang came hand in hand.

"Zhenzhuang, what happened? Did the Japanese warships take advantage of the darkness to attack?" Tang Qiuquan asked hurriedly.

"No!" Ge Zhenzhuang shook his head and replied: "According to the observation post's report, the explosion came from the direction of the Japanese army, and bursts of fire can also be seen!"

"Huh?" Tang Qiuquan's mind started to work quickly, and then he thought of a possibility, "Quickly, go to the command cabin and contact Le Yiqin immediately. The Japanese army is blowing up the damaged warship and heading towards the night.

The most likely direction of escape is to return to northern Australia!"

Although the night was already dark, Le Yiqin had not rested yet. A fire was burning in his chest, which made him not feel sleepy at all. After receiving the telegram from Tang Qiuquan, he slammed the table and shouted: "He Zhijun

!”

Chief of Staff He Zhijun, who was busy, rushed over immediately and asked: "Commander, what are your orders?"

Le Yiqin gritted his teeth and said: "Order, all night flight fleets are dispatched. Just now, Commander Tang of the fleet reported that the little devils are scuttling the warship. If they want to escape, it is most likely to be in the north of Australia. We will fight these gangs all night."

You bastard, at the same time, order the fleet carrier-based aircraft to dispatch night aircraft. As the second round of attack aircraft group, we will fight with the little devils all night long!"
