My Third Empire

Biquge www.wuxiaspot.com, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!

Of course, the bad news of the Japanese Navy is not the only one. The next thing simply collapsed the entire Japanese Navy. The US carrier plane finally broke through the defense line of the Japanese Air Force with insufficient strength, dropping bombs and torpedoes. S-type mobile Kaga. see

First, a torpedo hit the side armor of the Kaga impartially, leaving a huge hole in the side of the battleship, and then the second torpedo completely scrapped the stern of the Kaga aircraft carrier. The propellers were twisted into a ball due to the explosion, and the water entered the Kaga to a degree of 2o.

The damage control personnel on the Kaga aircraft carrier madly rescued their warships. In the end, they successfully blasted the deck from the two holes in the bomb. The Kaga with a roll of 21 degrees was rescued and let Nan Yun Zhongyi Were shocked.

However, this is not a repair drill, but in the real battlefield, the Kaga basically lost all its motivation and could not continue to escape with the fleet, so even if the Kaga did not sink, everyone ’s mood was I couldn't be more happy.

Finally, Nan Yunzhong ordered the destroyer to shoot torpedoes. He "shot" the aircraft carrier Kaga who was still struggling on the water and was unwilling to leave. With four of Japan's own torpedoes hitting the target, the two aircraft carriers of Japan's First Fleet were wiped out.

A few minutes after the snow breeze left the battlefield, the flagship Kaga of the First Air Fleet of the Japanese Joint Fleet commanded by Nanyun Zhongyi was sunk by the US carrier. Nanyun Zhongyi, the 56-year-old right-hand man of Yamamoto, finally had no stubborn choice. He cut himself to death, but surrounded by the support of his men, he was transferred to the highest heavy cruiser, and he left the battlefield in embarrassment.

Fifty-six Yamamoto received Nan Yunzhong's telegram when the sun was about to fall to sea level, and the news in the telegram made him completely desperate. The complete annihilation of the decoy fleet could not shake the heart of Yamamoto's decisive battle, but the loss of the First Air Fleet made the naval marshal seem to be ten years old.

"The U.S. Navy was sunk three aircraft carriers and hit one more ... The Kaga and Fengxiang sank, and the aircraft carrier Chicheng was severely damaged. The remnants of the First Air Fleet merged with some of the bait fleet and are retreating to the Philippine Islands." Yamamoto repeated the content of the message, and then gave the message to his adjutant. After all, this naval battle still "wins" by itself, but it is too ugly to win.

The Fengxiang aircraft carrier is nothing, and the loss is also lost ... But the Kaga aircraft carrier is now one of the few main aircraft carriers in Japan. Such a loss is absolutely regrettable by the entire Japanese navy. Fortunately, he still won. At least on the scene, Yamamoto had stabilized the situation. As for other things, he was really reluctant to think more.

What Fifty-six Yamamoto still does not know is that one of his submarines responsible for investigating the movements of the US Navy has mixed into the core circle of the US fleet, shooting four torpedoes in one breath while the US Navy is in chaos. , Sank the US Navy ’s aircraft carrier Hornet.

So in this battle, the United States eventually had four aircraft carriers sunk by the Japanese Navy. If three battleships are added, the Solomon Islands can be said to be the grave of the U.S. Navy ship. A total of seven battleships sank here. The U.S. Navy Pacific Fleet It lost almost three-fifths.

Of course, the Japanese navy was not very comfortable at this time: the two battleships Ise and Nori were sunk, and the two aircraft carriers of Fengxiang and Kaga were sunk. In this way, the Japanese navy was also sunk 4 In terms of overall ratio, the warships have indeed won a big victory.

However, the weather is unpredictable, and people are in danger, and Yamamoto 56 still does not know that the US carrier Hornet was sunk by himself, so he understands that there are still 4 aircraft carriers in the US watching. Unfortunately, the Japanese submarine that sank the US Hornet carrier was subsequently sunk, so until the last news that the Hornet was sunk did not reach Yamamoto's ear.

"Report! Your Excellency Marshal! Just ... The news just came, on the way back ... On the way, the USS Akagi was spotted by an American submarine. After hitting four torpedoes, the rescue was ineffective, and finally the whole crew was evacuated and sank ... … "Under the influence of the law of Fu Wushuang's misfortune and not alone, Fifty-six Yamamoto received a worse news that the First Air Fleet was also wiped out at the last moment.

"..." Americans are really lucky enough to sink a Japanese aircraft carrier at this time. Fifty-six Yamamoto really wanted to yell aloud, but he gritted his teeth and finally did not utter this classic sentence of Japanese national curse.

After forcibly swallowing the swear words in his mouth, Yamamoto finally defeated the impulse with reason. He glanced at the officers on the bridge and issued an order to end the battle in the Solomon Islands: "Turn your head, the fleet is out of contact with the US Navy, Taking advantage of the night, we left Solomon and returned to the Philippine waters overnight. "

Yamamoto knows that the current night battle is not good for him. He only has two battleships, and the Americans still have a new battleship. The victory of the two sides at night is unknown. But as long as the Americans stay up until dawn, then he will take There is no chance for the two Olympic battleships to leave in Nagato.

Therefore, Yamamoto decisively gave up the idea of ​​continuing to fight. At this time, he can still use "winning" to obscure it. If he really has the Longmen and 6 Olympics buried, then he will only have to cut the belly.

It's just that Yamamoto still doesn't know that in the face of an American ship equipped with a large number of radars, his decision not to fight at night is undoubtedly a decision to save the Japanese Navy. So when night fell, the Solomon Islands regained its former calm, and the whole battlefield was so abruptly silent.

The US fleet suffered heavy losses, but it occupied the entire battlefield. The naval forces' retreat retreated, and finally gave up this quiet sea area that they initially seemed to want to fight for.

At this time, everyone seemed to remember the purpose of the battle of the two sides in the naval battle: the Japanese navy wanted to wipe out the main force of the US navy in World War I, to get a breathing time for the Pacific situation in the Western Japan, and the Americans were to win the Solomon Islands Paving the way for the next strategy.

Suddenly, an interesting thing appeared like this: The Japanese reached their attempt to reinvent the US Navy; the US Navy also completed the idea of ​​taking control of the sea power in the Solomon Sea.

Therefore, the Japanese base camp received a telegram from Yamamoto 56 from the retreat, claiming that the Naval War in Solomon Islands was a great victory for Japan, and finally sank three US carriers and three battleships at the cost of three aircraft carriers and two battleships. . Successfully wiped out the main force of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet. Such a "big victory" may be the worst victory of the Japanese navy in years, but it really gave the Japanese navy a short rest period.

However, this black pot with heavy losses must be backed by someone, and this person must have enough "weight". On the way back to the Philippine waters, Yamamoto 56 received a telegram asking him to return to Japan, and ordered him to immediately transfer the command of the joint fleet.

Yamamoto ’s fifty-six joint fleet ended, and the Japanese navy ushered in the longest large-scale rest after their attack on Pearl Harbor. Of course, this rest has a price, and the price is very huge.

As the combined fleet ran away without looking back, the 6th Japanese Army on the Solomon Islands suddenly faced difficulties in supply and huge pressure from the US Navy. Seven days later, the U.S. Navy ’s 6th squadron began a massive 6th in the Solomon Islands, and the two sides launched a fierce battle.

In the end, the isolated Japanese troops of the 6th Army lost the Solomon Islands, and hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops as far away as Australia suddenly raised the American flag. At the same time, 100,000 US troops boarded 6 Australia, and the good time for Japanese troops in Australia finally came to an end.

So strategically speaking, Spruance clenched his teeth and insisted to the end that the US Navy achieved their goal of counterattacking Australia and recaptured the Solomon waters. So Spruance also returned the telegram, claiming that despite the heavy losses, they still won the battle of the Luomen naval battle.

After such an exhibition, the historians of later generations showed an interesting phenomenon, that is, both sides of this naval battle insisted that they were the winners. Of course, after knowing that the Hornet was sunk, Japanese history researchers Be more convinced of your own ideas.

But the sun of Solomon fell on the sea level on this day, bringing endless darkness to all the soldiers here. A large number of bodies of the Japanese navy are still floating on the surface of the sea. The rescue work of the US Navy was delayed at noon the next day, so the rate of survivors among the Japanese who fell into the water was very low.

Akado, who was preparing his own press release, frowned at the news of the end of the naval battle, because he felt that the Japanese navy had squandered his fleet, which was almost lost to the US Navy. Thinking of here, he smiled bitterly, and then said: "Sunset."

Later, in the reporter's flashlight, he boarded the podium, and with Chamberlain standing beside him, he confirmed the fact that the US troops boarded 6 Australia to the Axis reporters. Akado held the podium confidently with his hands and said slowly to the following reporter: "From now on, the US forces will not leave the territory of the Axis ally, the war will never end!"
