Soon, the specific damages of each ship were counted out by the Fleet Chief of Staff and sent to the Fleet Commander Lieutenant General Otani.

Seeing such heavy losses in his hands, Lieutenant General Otani was very shocked. After taking a deep look at Colonel Takagi, who had been silent from beginning to end, he had to admit a fact: if the fleet had withdrawn from the battlefield dozens of minutes ago, he would not have paid the huge price of the sinking of a battleship or a heavy cruiser.

However, there is no medicine for regret in this world. Since you make your own decision, you should bear the corresponding responsibility.

After a brief contemplation, he asked the Chief of Staff in front of him: "Chief of Staff, can the remaining two cruisers, including our flagship USS King Kong and Akagi aircraft carrier, participate in the battle with ease."

"Report to the General, the Nachi heavy cruiser cannot be used because the power compartment is in use, so he can only act as a mobile turret for use. The remaining battleships of the King Kong and the Feather Heavy cruiser can be put into the battlefield after a brief repair and emergency treatment of closing all the doors of the lower compartment. The Akagi aircraft carrier can be put into the battlefield without any repairs..." The Chief of Staff of the Fleet reported.

A solemn expression slowly appeared on the face of the general in the valley. He spoke to his subordinate who was also solemn in front of him, "Now it seems that there are only the last three ships left in our escort fleet to be available..."

After saying that, his eyes quickly swept around his subordinates in front of him. Finally, he stopped at Colonel Takagi Yuwu and continued to ask: "Everyone, it is now the critical moment for my escort fleet to survive. I hope everyone can work together to find a way to let the escort fleet escape this disaster. I wonder what you have about the current battle situation. You can say it..."

There are Chinese planes in the sky, Chinese submarines under the water... and I have only three available ships left. In this case, what can I do to get rid of the situation in front of me?

Besides, the commander-in-chief insisted on fighting the Chinese Navy here. Now that the fleet is damaged and the situation is not bad, I think of asking others to help solve this problem. At that time, if the problem is solved, I am a hero. However, if the problem is not solved well, I will take the responsibility of escorting the fleet's failure in combat with the commander-in-chief in front of me.

As intermediate officers of the Japanese Navy, these people are not fools and are very clear about the pros and cons.

Facing the look of Nakamoto Otani, he lowered his head directly, pretended not to see it, and remained silent.

In the end, Lieutenant General Otani had no choice but to put his hope on the deputy chief of staff, Colonel Takagi Yuwu, whom he least liked. He asked Colonel Takagi with a sincere face, "Kun Takagi. I wonder if you have any solutions."

Although Lieutenant General Otani did not apologize openly, he was in full view of the public and was very disliked by his subordinates. He said such polite words and compromised with his subordinates.

At this time, facing the complicated gaze of Nakamoto Otani, if Takagi Yuget did not stand up, it would be too ungrateful.

After saluting Lieutenant General Otani, he spoke with a modest look on his face: "God of General, I dare not take the position of humble position..."

"There is no good way to deal with the current situation of war. I just have some simple opinions. I hope the General can listen..."

"Uh, what exactly is it..." Lieutenant General Otani's eyes lit up, as if he had found a gate to light in the darkness. He asked Colonel Takagi Yuwu with anticipation.

"God General, when the battlefield air supremacy is fully controlled by the Chinese Air Force, the fleets will undoubtedly give the Chinese Air Force a chance to defeat each other. Although the air defense firepower on each ship of the escort fleet has been strengthened, no matter how dense the air defense firepower is, it cannot stop the attacks from the Chinese Air Force from all directions."

"So, if we want to survive the attack of the Chinese Air Force, there is only one way... to concentrate all warships and form an air defense formation. All air defense weapons equipped on major ships will be used together. Only in this way can we survive as much as possible and step by step to withdraw from the combat radius of the Chinese Air Force..."

Seeing that the Lieutenant General Otani nodded without comment, Colonel Takagi Yutake turned his words and continued to speak: "However, if you... gather all the ships together, you will be attacked by the Chinese submarine forces again..."

"After the submarine attack just now, I believe that the General has seen that the specific number of Chinese submarine troops is not as investigated by the Special High School, with less than ten submarine troops. But more than twenty submarine troops..."

"A submarine force of this size can be hidden on our retreat path and drop a total of 96 torpedoes at once... If 96 torpedoes are arranged in a straight line to launch an attack on us, Bei Yi can say with certainty that according to our air defense formation, at least more than half of the torpedoes will hit the target..."

"Your Excellency General, my colleagues, I can't imagine what kind of results will be if my remaining three ships in the fleet are attacked by more than 40 torpedoes again..."

For a moment, all the officers, including Lieutenant General Otani, turned pale. Lieutenant General Otani, the commander-in-chief of the fleet, first spoke: "Takagi's analysis is very correct. However, no matter what our specific response plan is, the final result of evacuating the estuary of the Yalu River is undoubtedly sure..."

After saying that, a serious and serious expression quickly enveloped the general's face.

He ordered to his subordinates with a firm tone: "Now I order the battleship of the King Kong to be the vanguard, the aircraft carrier Akagi and the heavy cruiser of the Feather Hei... The three ships were distributed in shape, separated by five hundred meters from each other, and quickly retreated towards the high seas..."

Just as everyone was happy to receive the order and was about to send the order, a staff officer with the rank of Nakazo stood up and spoke tentatively: "Genius General, where is the heavy cruiser Nachi? Although the heavy cruiser Nachi has lost power, the entire ship is still intact..."

"Nati Heavy Cruiser..." Hearing this question, Nakajima General Otani stopped suddenly, frowned, and fell into a difficult choice.

Soon, a serious expression of farewell slowly appeared on the face of the general in the valley. He looked at his subordinates at the same time and said decisively: "You guys, there is a saying in China that is 'I can't bear to give up the child, and I can't trap a wolf'. In order for our escort fleet to return to China smoothly, we must give up the heavy cruiser of the Zhi...."

After saying that, he ordered the Chief of Staff: "Chief of Staff, issue an order to the Nazhi cruiser: All officers and soldiers of the Nazhi cruiser will immediately abandon the ship and transfer it to the King Kong and the Yuhei. After all the officers and soldiers are transferred, they will sink the cruiser. In short, even if the cruiser is sunk, they cannot let the cruiser fall into the hands of the Chinese."

………………………………

The naval battle battlefield is over the air. After continuous combat consumption and losses, the fighter jets still cruise in the air are only two wildcat fighter squadrons and four bomber squadrons. A total of more than seventy fighter jets are left.

However, even so, Guo Zhenghua, the commander of the Air Division, was full of confidence in the subsequent battle.

The Japanese escort fleet quickly changed its formation and posed as if it was ready to escape. It did not escape Guo Zhenghua's eyes.

A sneer flashed quickly across the corner of his mouth, and he spoke to himself: "The submarine is worthy of being known as the ghost of the sea. With one volley, he killed two large surface ships of the Japanese. Okay, it's a good fight..."

After saying that, he shouted at the onboard radio station that had already been adjusted to the public call frequency, "Brothers of the Air First Division, the Japanese fleet is in chaos. Standing there, I order you. I will immediately launch an attack on the remaining Japanese ships! If you don't take action, the military achievements you get will be snatched away by the Air Second Division and HNA."

"All bomber squadrons are divided into two: the fifth and sixth squadrons are responsible for attacking the battleships leading by the Japanese army. The remaining bomber squadrons are attacking the Japanese heavy cruisers. As for their aircraft carriers, stay for the final attack and start operations now."

The order was issued, and dozens of bombers that had been ready to go quickly rushed towards the Japanese ships that were slowly retreating on the sea with a sharp whistling sound of breaking through the air.

A Situka bomber, with a unique scream, first launched an attack on the Japanese Battleship of the King Kong. However, just when the fighter that dived at an angle of 90 degrees was still five thousand meters away from the sea, flames of varying thickness quickly appeared above the ship, which was directly in front of the bomber.

Although the bomber's dive angle was tricky, it reduced the area of ​​the bomb to a minimum. However, the air defense fire network launched by the Japanese army was too dense, just like a ventilated barrage formed directly in front of the bomber.

After the bomber rushed into the ground with a dive flight speed of shattering sound, the silver-white fighter jet exploded directly from the mailbox, followed by the explosion of three blockbuster bombs. The huge bomber was torn into pieces in the explosion, and fell to the sea with the fireballs.

The bomber exploded in the air and told all pilots of the First Air Division as soon as possible that although the air defense formation of the Japanese escort fleet was disrupted, the air defense firepower on each ship should not be reduced.

For a moment, all the remaining pilots of the Aviation Division had their hearts closed down on the enemy.

Subsequently, a team of bombers and three bombers lined up in shapes of "species" to cover each other and launched a second round of aerial strikes on the battleship of the King Kong.

The bigger and sharper howling sound of the air breaking through quickly rang out in the air.

On the wide deck of the Battleship of the King Kong battleship, the Japanese air defense forces responded very quickly. The three fighter jets had just entered the range. The dense air defense flames began to gush out from the muzzles and muzzles that were constantly jumping in the air defense weapons. Finally, an airtight air defense barrage was formed in the direction of the attack of the three fighter jets.

Although the dense air defense firepower has not been reduced, after an average of three bombers, each bomber has at least half of the firepower.

More importantly, the three bombers carried not 500 kilograms of high-explosion bombs specifically used to destroy warships, but 50 kilograms of small high-explosion bombs specifically used to kill the Japanese deck surface of the warship deck.

Three bombers, facing the rain of bullets fired by the Japanese army, dived until there were two or three kilometers left from the sea. When they really could not go further, they decisively dropped the bomb, suddenly pulled up the fuselage, changed their course, avoided the attack of local air defense firepower, and quickly began to climb.

The bombs were dropped at an altitude of three thousand meters, and the target was a Japanese surface ship that was constantly swimming. Even if the three bombers used dive bombs, it would be a blessing in disguise to have a hit rate of more than 20%.

However, for the total ninety high-explosive bombs carried by the three bombers, even a hit rate of 20% is enough to cause a devastating blow to the Japanese army on the surface of the deck of the warship.

The distance of three thousand meters is only a few seconds for a high-speed bomb. The three bombers have just escaped from the warship deck and the Japanese air defense firepower network chased, and the bombs are densely packed with bombs. They have landed on the sea surface around the ship and exploded on the ship deck.

Because the First Air Division participated in high-altitude dive bombing of moving targets on the sea surface for the first time, the bomb hit rate was not high. There were ninety small high-explosive bombs, and only six bombs successfully hit the deck of the warship.

After the violent bomb explosion spread from the deck of the King Kong, balls of orange-red fireballs quickly rose from the deck of the warship.

Under the cover of the six groups of fireballs, people and objects within a radius of twenty meters on the deck of the warship were all flooded by fireballs and strong gunpowders.

Countless Japanese corpses with incomplete limbs and broken arms were completely blown by bombs. Driven by the huge air waves generated by the bomb explosion, they were quickly blown into the air and accompanied by thick black smoke mixed together. A huge mushroom cloud up to twenty meters high formed over the deck of the warship.

Six small aviation bombs did not penetrate a deck. However, on the deck without any hidden objects, the six high-explosion bombs had invisibly expanded to the extreme.

Fifty percent of the air defense forces moving on the deck of the warship were directly shrouded in the raging fire caused by the bomb explosion and lost almost all. More than 30% of the air defense weapons were also shrouded in the fire, and I don’t know if they can be used.

However, these injuries were only aimed at the Japanese officers and soldiers on the surface of the warship deck. They did not have any lethality to the officers and soldiers inside the warship. The huge warship still drove towards the high seas with the rolling smoke on the deck.

Over the battlefield, three bombers had finished bombings. Although the specific results were not known yet, they saw that the huge warship deck was quickly covered by thick smoke, which to a certain extent played a role in blocking the Japanese air defense forces' vision. The remaining bombers immediately seized the fighter jet and launched a new round of attacks on the King Kong battleship.

The three bombers, accompanied by the sharp whistling sound of breaking through the air, quickly smashed towards the location of the Japanese warships on the sea.

Although the Japanese air defense forces on the deck suffered heavy losses under the attack of six high-explosive bombs, when they were really related to their life and death, the remaining officers and soldiers rushed towards their combat positions as soon as possible, set up air defense weapons that could be used on the deck, and prepare for fire.

Although the strong smoke covered everyone's eyes, it could not block the ears of these Japanese soldiers. With the harsh whistling sound from the sky, a high-air anti-aircraft machine gun and a large-caliber anti-aircraft gun quickly adjusted the target and aimed the black hole muzzle at the direction of the three bombers.

The bomber whistled down, as soon as it entered the range, the flames began to shoot from the deck into the sky.

Although the flame tongue has no accurate point, it still looks like an airtight air defense barrage directly in front of the three bombers. In order to avoid the fighter being hit, the three bombers forced to dive to a height of two thousand meters and dropped a total of nine bombs. Then, with a deafening roar, they quickly climbed and got rid of the ground's anti-aircraft fire pursuit.

Nine bombs, under the gaze of everyone on both sides of the enemy and us, smashed towards the sea at a speed that exceeded the sound.

"Boom boom boom..." A series of violent explosions sounded on the sea surface, and thick water columns quickly soared into the air and rushed directly to a height of hundreds of meters.

Because the King Kong battleship continued to retreat to the high seas in an "S"-shaped route, nine blockbuster bombs, except for one that exploded five meters away from the side, and a large hole with a diameter of more than one meter was blown up on the side of the warship. All the remaining bombs deviated from the target and did not achieve any results.

After witnessing this round of bombing without any results, Guo Zhenghua, the commander of the Air 1 Division, was immediately covered with a solemn expression. He said to himself: "You can't continue like this. You must find a way to stop the Japanese warship. Otherwise, under the counterattack of the Japanese air defense firepower, the bomber could not hit the target at all."

What Guo Zhenghua didn't expect was that a complaint he had in mind happened to be transmitted to the ears of Jia Yuwen, the commander of the First Navy Aviation Regiment who was rushing to the ears of Jia Yuwen, the commander of the Navy's First Aviation Regiment.

Commander Guo Zhenghua just frowned and was thinking about specific measures to overcome hostility. In front of the airborne radio station, the voice of his old subordinate, Jia Yuwen, the current commander of the First HNA Regiment...

"The mission of stopping the Japanese warships is to my First Navy Aviation Regiment... I, Jia Yuwen, promised that within ten, the remaining three ships of the Japanese will be buried on the sea and become targets of the air force..."

Just when Guo Zhenghua wanted to ask Jia Yuwen what method he planned to use to destroy the power system of the remaining three Japanese ships, a black fleet of aircraft had already appeared in the southwest direction of the battlefield.
