When they saw the surface ships appearing, the officers and soldiers who had chosen to surrender before felt a little better. They took a long breath and felt much less ashamed in their hearts, and even found a suitable reason for themselves.
Look, the opponent was obviously well prepared. Not only did they unexpectedly launch a third attack wave of carrier-based aircraft bombings, but they also dispatched a powerful surface fleet at the same time, obviously with the intention of annihilating their fleet. The fleet's idea.
No one is an opponent, and there is no point in resisting. They are all raised by father and mother. It is not easy to grow to such a big age. There is no need to die in vain when you know that you will die. Isn't it good to live?
Not only them, but even those officers and soldiers who had been resisting until the carrier-based aircraft fleet in the sky finally ran out of ammunition and returned, and who thought they had survived by chance, had completely lost their energy at this moment.
Although it was getting dark, as long as they could continue to persevere and get rid of the attack of the surface fleet that had just arrived on the battlefield, they might survive and even return to Yuntong Island or even Island 308.
It sounds easy, but no one is confident. After all, they know their own situation well. After the large-scale bombing just now, the remaining battleships have been blown to pieces again, the hull structure has been damaged, and the internal cabins have also been destroyed. As a result, the deck superstructure was blown to pieces.
The main turrets of many battleships were blown away and most of their firepower was lost. It was impossible to fight back. Using the detection capabilities of the radar system to roughly estimate the opponent's speed, everyone was in despair.
The opponent's warships almost always maintain a speed of more than 30 knots when traveling at high speed. However, their seriously damaged warships can no longer reach the maximum speed and can maintain it at 20 knots at most. They want to get rid of the opponent with this speed. The pursuit of the fleet is simply wishful thinking.
These things are not too advanced. Even ordinary soldiers on the battleship can understand them. Therefore, almost most of the officers and soldiers have lost their thoughts about fighting. They fell down on the battleship and looked completely lost. of
"boom"、"boom"、"Bang."
No officer issued an order to prepare for battle. Clear gunshots rang out from time to time on each battleship. At first, it surprised the officers and soldiers who were in despair, but after Xun Sheng went over to understand the situation , more people chose to remain silent, and no one reacted at all when they heard the gunfire.
The gunfire that rang out from time to time was not the internal strife that broke out due to differences in the warship's internal personnel due to different ideas, but the internal strife of some people who were loyal to No. 308. The officers and soldiers who were unable to surrender or had compelling reasons simply committed suicide. The officers and soldiers who committed such suicidal behavior can actually be regarded as smart people, because they have fully understood the current situation, and their hearts are floating. People are willing to die in vain, not to mention that even if they want to fight, they can't fight at all, and they can only make more people pay the price with their lives.
At the critical moment of life and death, when many people in the fleet will choose to surrender, their persistence The objections of those who did not surrender did not make much sense.
In short, when Lütjens and Langsdorf arrived at the battlefield with two squadrons, they were helpless to find more than 20 dilapidated warships. Everyone had already hoisted the white flag, and they hadn't even fired a single shell or bullet.
Seeing this scene, Lütjens almost shut down on the spot. This was the first time he had truly served as a commander. The first combat mission after becoming the fleet commander.
I originally participated in it hurriedly and actively, hoping to get a good start and let myself and the first squadron achieve good results. As a result, except when attacking the small fleet, there were In addition to performance, most of the time was spent on the road.
Even taking a certain risk to leave a small number of warships to monitor and take over the surrendered warships of the small fleet, the main fleet drove at high speed all the way, not only to be able to use the fastest speed. He rushed to the main battlefield quickly and annihilated the remaining forces of the mixed fleet.
However, reality played a big joke on him. His speed was actually quite fast, but because Yanhuang, a black-tech aircraft carrier, was too powerful, it was still Being able to dispatch the third wave of attack aircraft groups, the last strength and resistance of the mixed fleet were blown away by the huge carrier-based aircraft group. Their two majestic squadrons were only left to clean up the battlefield. No matter what they thought in their hearts How unwilling, but this battle has now come to an end. Now that we have arrived on the battlefield, of course we cannot act on impulse and must do what we should do. Although in terms of military rank, Lütjens Both Langsdorf and Rear Admiral have been rated by the system. In terms of their positions, they are both fleet commanders of a squadron. They are on the same level and there is no distinction between seniority and seniority.
However, in the military, seniority has always been important. Yes, Lütjens is stronger than Langsdorff in this regard, otherwise the designation of the First Squadron would not have fallen into the hands of Lütjens.
Therefore, when the two fleets are fighting together, even if there is no The orders and command power of the fleet headquarters are also in the hands of Lütjens.
Lütjens, who once had the actual command of the Chinese fleet, did not mean to be coy at all. He issued orders one after another. The destroyers and destroyers in the two fleets The light cruisers moved closer one after another, and the crew members who had been mobilized used various tools to board the surviving battleships of the mixed fleet.
Of course, Island No. 308 is an indigenous force that has survived in the great maritime world for who knows how long. Even in this desperate situation, not all warships chose to surrender.
Some crew members who were unwilling or wanted to be loyal in the end did not prevent other comrades from surrendering, but they directly opened the sea valve of the battleship and allowed the ship to sink.
There were actually quite a few officers who made this choice. Even though their behavior was not approved by all the officers and soldiers on the battleship, they did not force it. Instead, they took advantage of Lütjens and others before they came closer. Some opposing officers and soldiers were sent to other battleships, leaving only some die-hards to sink with the ship.
Therefore, on the battlefield, the warships that were actually captured by the Chinese fleet were only about 10. Although the number was not large, the quality was not bad. It is normal to think about it. Except for those who chose to surrender one step in advance, those who could Those that survived three rounds of large-scale bombings were naturally large battleships with relatively thick armor. Small and medium-sized battleships had long been sunk.
Counting the dozen or so warships captured from that small fleet, this time the Chinese fleet captured a total of nearly 30 warships. Regardless of the performance and damage of these warships, the number alone is almost equal to Let the Chinese fleet get a defense fleet.
The most important thing is that these more than 30 battleships also include several main battleships, including a Brave-class light aircraft carrier and two Lion-class battlecruisers. As for the other two escort aircraft carriers, due to the hull structure Due to the armor value, it was sunk as early as the second wave of large-scale bombing.
The battleship in the mixed fleet opened the sea valve and scuttled. The other battlecruiser was so unlucky that it was directly blown up and sunk by the excited pilots.
Except for these three battleships, the rest are basically light cruisers and heavy cruisers. On the contrary, not a single destroyer is left. They were either bombed and sunk during the battle, or they chose to sink themselves at the last moment.
After Lütjens and others took full control of the dozen or so surrendered warships, it became completely dark, but all the lights on the warships were turned on, especially the high-power searchlights that illuminated part of the sea. It shines like daylight.
The level 8 radar system provides powerful detection capabilities to every warship in the Chinese fleet, allowing them to dare to be so public without worrying about hostile forces sneaking up under the cover of night to carry out sneak attacks.
Of course, Lütjens and others dare to be so bold, that is because several submarine formations have also built a defense line in the outer waters a little away. If a warship really approaches, they will be discovered first..
After waiting for another 2 hours, the main fleet with the Yanhuang as the core finally arrived at the battlefield and merged with the two squadrons. At this point, it was declared that Nimitz's plan was completely successful and it was completely damaged. The main fleet of Island No. 308.
Now in the entire sea area, the pirate forces have been completely annihilated by the Chinese fleet, and even the islands used as bases have been occupied. (Zhao Dezhao) has no chance to make a comeback.
The same is true for the Yuntong Island side. All resource points were robbed, the main fleet was wiped out, and even the island itself was captured by the ground troops of the No. 308 Island side. Due to time constraints, there may be a small amount of residual power still in Yuntong. The island persisted in resisting, but it was no different from total annihilation.
The only island No. 308 that could be regarded as an opponent by the Chinese fleet was also directly disabled in this battle. In addition to the dozens of warships on Yuntong Island and the remaining forces on the home islands, there was also no redundant military force. strength.
After daybreak, the Chinese fleet rushed forward and directly attacked Yuntong Island. After annihilating the small fleet on Yuntong Island on Island No. 308, they could easily receive the fruits of victory and complete the occupation of Yuntong Island.
This is a typical"river clam fighting for the fisherman's profit", which was played very smoothly by Nimitz. After Ye Bai transformed the Yanhuang from the battleship form to the base form, he looked at the battleships one after another. When he teleported into the small space through the port that had been simply built, the corners of his mouth almost reached the base of his ears.
The warships teleported into the small space were not only the more than 20 warships captured in the two battles, but also the warships of the First and Second Squadrons that were shot and damaged when they attacked the small fleet..
