"The pain is something a nation needs to learn to bear. But the empire will never let everyone hungry and work with their stomachs. As long as everyone works harder and work even an hour more, they will make great contributions to the entire country.

The hard work now will receive huge rewards. When the war passes by, we will be bathed in unprecedented light."[]

"As long as everyone works hard and puts all their enthusiasm into their work, we can win the war 100%. If you ask me how much confidence I have, I say 200% or even more."

Xia Jun's speech brought great confidence to the 600 million people.

February 23, 1937, 2019 at 2:00 noon.

This unprecedented naval battle has lasted for nearly two hours, and the United States, Britain and Japan combined fleet suffered heavy losses under the air strikes of the Imperial Chinese Air Force.

The three fierce general-class battleships completely destroyed the morale of the US-British-Japanese Combined Fleet. Faced with the Chinese Empire Navy, which was eyeing 20 kilometers away, all the commanders of the US-British-Japanese Combined Fleet had an ominous premonition.

More than 800 dive torpedoes took off from the deck of the Air Carrier Formation twenty kilometers away, and more than 200 high-altitude bombers were also seen.

These torpedoes are much smaller than those bombers compared to the Imperial Chinese Air Force aircraft that had previously raided, but these torpedoes are faster.

Because these torpedo aircraft have a shorter range and a combat radius of only 200 kilometers, the warhead has reached 0 kilograms, and the speed is also very fast and the fork is smaller, so it is more difficult to be hit by anti-aircraft guns, but the torpedo is not so fatal.

After these torpedoes and bombers took off, they did not launch bombing immediately, but hovered in the air.

The United States, Britain and Japan combined fleet was completely in chaos at this time. Nine of the sixteen sea power-class battleships sank, three were beaten and paralyzed. Three were severely damaged by air strikes, and only one was left with combat effectiveness.

Thirty super fearless battleships were sunk eight, and six of them lost their combat effectiveness.

Ten aircraft carriers were illuminated by the air-raid bombers. These aircraft carriers were thin and large. The bombers' bombs could cause them to lose their combat effectiveness by blowing off the deck. During the bombing of a huge bomber group, the ten aircraft carriers sank six, and the remaining four completely lost their combat effectiveness.

At this time, the main battleships of the United States, Britain and Japan were left with only one sea power class battleship and sixteen super-defying battleships. The South China East China Fleet that circled to the southeast had three general-class battleships, eight East China Super-defying battleships, and twenty aircraft carriers.

Just those three fierce general-class battleships made the entire US-American-Japanese joint fleet in a mess.

"We must retreat immediately, otherwise when the second wave of Chinese Air Force air strikes arrives, we will all fall into the sea to feed the fish." A British commander shouted.

"Can we run? Once we run, we will be defeated one by one." The Japanese naval commander immediately retorted.

"But do you have a way to deal with those three big guys? Do you have a way to deal with the continuous air strikes?" "Even if we can't deal with it, we must let more enemies be buried with us."

"The Japanese are crazy."

Busan battleship bombing airport, and groups of bombers and torpedo planes returned to the airport one after another, and many planes were dragging back with thick smoke.

Some even fell from the sky when they were about to fly to the airport.

There were 500 bombers taking off from the Busan strategic bombing airport, and when they flew back, there were only more than 300 left, and 200 torpedo planes took off, and less than half of them flew back.

The battleships of the United States, Britain and Japan combined fleet, Qido, had a fierce anti-aircraft firepower, which made the air strike extremely fierce. In order to reduce the fire density of anti-aircraft artillery, some torpedo aircraft directly hit those battleships and covered bombers in high altitudes, otherwise the losses would be even heavier.

Airport personnel quickly extinguished the landing plane and rescued the wounded. At the same time, they directed the plane to dock to one side. Airport personnel began to inspect the plane and quickly refueled and mounted ammunition.

Soon the first batch of planes returning to the airport took off again.

After fierce debate, the differences between the United States, Britain and Japan's joint naval have not been eliminated. The three countries have different customs and customs, and there is no clear authoritative person in command. Britain and the United States are better and can compromise with each other, while Japan is completely unable to match the United Kingdom and the United States.

This internal contradiction will not be exposed when the fight is easy, but at this time the United States, Britain and Japan are already at an absolute disadvantage, and the contradiction immediately emerges.

The British Far East Fleet, the American Western Pacific Fleet, the Japanese Joint Fleet, and this huge Three Kingdoms Joint Fleet actually have no unified command.

But among this joint fleet, the US Western Pacific Fleet is the strongest, and the United States obviously has the intention to preserve its strength at this time.

The losses are too heavy!

The power of the US Western Pacific Fleet was destroyed nearly half.

Facts have proved that naval warfare within the scope of the Chinese Air Force's strike is still very mentally retarded, because despite the strong support of the United States, the Japanese Air Force still cannot compete with the Chinese Air Force, and the entire fleet is directly exposed to the Imperial Air Force.

Facts also prove that even with strong air defense firepower, it cannot stop such a powerful air strike.

That was nearly four thousand planes!

And this is only arranged by the Chinese Empire in the Northeast waters, other places

There are, and even more, especially the Republic of Southeast Asia.

The only way out now is to retreat.

If you don’t retreat, you have to be buried here.

Britain, the United States and Japan had a falling out on the spot. The supreme commander of the naval fleets of Britain and the United States began to issue orders to retreat eastward, so that they could stay away from the attacks of the Chinese Air Force.

At the same time, the highest commander of the British, American and Japanese fleets ordered the warships that were beaten and unable to move to sink themselves immediately to prevent these warships from falling into the hands of the Chinese Empire.

The Japanese Navy strictly implemented this order, sank the warship and jumped into the cold sea water.

The British and American navies obviously had difficulty accepting this order. After receiving the order, the sailors mutinized directly and refused to execute the order.

"Damn it, let's jump into the sea, we will be frozen to death." "The Chinese have never saved the fallen waters. If we sank the warships, we will die." A sailor who has watched the movie "The Rebirth of a Nation" shouted. "Captain, raise the white flag quickly! Otherwise we will be sunk."

"qk,qk." An American captain agreed to the sailor's request very simply.

On a British super battleship of each power class, the sailors also asked the captain to raise the white flag, but the captain was undecided and finally said, "You lock me up!"

The other sailors understood and locked the captain in the cabin. Obviously, the captain did not want to bear the reputation of surrender. After returning to the country, he could explain: "It was the sailors who wanted to surrender, they locked me in the cabin... Four sea power class battleships raised white flags one after another, one Japanese sea power class battleship sank itself, and another severely damaged sea power class battleship felt that it could run quite fast and retreat eastward with the fleet.

The three general-class battleships advanced side by side with the entire fleet, and at the same time they kept firing at the United States, Britain and Japan in the distance. Every time they fired, a warship would inevitably be shot. If it were a smaller warship, it would be disintegrated by one shot.

The three fierce general-class battleships were gathered together, with an unparalleled firepower. Their distance with the US-British-Japanese Combined Fleet was closer to 79,000 meters. Seeing these three fierce general-class battleships chasing and fighting, the US-British-Japanese Combined Fleet had to send some small fast warships to entangle these three steel monsters, thinking that they would create opportunities for retreat.

However, more than a dozen white marks suddenly appeared in front of the retreating US-Anglish-Japanese joint fleet, and mines suddenly appeared.

"Submarines are submarines." The sailors shouted loudly in horror.

The entire fleet has entered the ambush circle of the Chinese Empire Navy submarine force. The speed of these submarines is not as fast as that of the battleships, so they must sneak and ambush.

The submarines of the United States, Britain and Japan combined fleets have always wanted to trouble those three fierce general-class battleships, but these three fierce general-class battleships are too fast and are unpredictable to move, so they have no chance to give those submarines.

The three fierce general-class battleships are very experienced and conscious about defending submarines. Although the bottom of the ship is very thick and the watertight anti-torpedo compartment is also used. Even so, they don’t want to try the feeling of being hit by torpedoes.

Although the three general-class battleships are equipped with very powerful sonar, the problem is that there are so many warships around now, and the noise is too loud, and they are not sure to discover all submarines. Therefore, the only way is to maintain a certain speed and keep moving.

The moment more than a dozen torpedoes were shot out, dozens of torpedoes appeared around the United States, Britain and Japan combined fleet.

The Chinese Empire's naval submarine forces set up an ambush in the southeast, and the south is the main force of the Imperial Navy. The United States, Britain and Japan generally do not choose to retreat to the south.

As expected, he chose the east side and was caught by the submarine force.

More than fifty Death-class ocean-going submarines and more than eighty medium-range submarines suddenly broke out, and the torpedo shot out like money.

From a bird's eye view from a high altitude, you will find that these torpedoes are woven into a dense large net. The Death-class submarine launches four large-caliber torpedoes at a time, and the medium-range submarine launches two at a time.

A total of nearly four hundred torpedoes occurred.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom.

．

．

,,The explosions were endless, and the entire US-British-Japanese joint fleet seemed to have been gnawed around, and at least nearly fifty or sixty warships were hit by torpedoes.

Moreover, the torpedo is too dense. After some warships were hit by one torpedo, the second torpedo was blasted. What's more, these are magnetic torpedoes, and there is no "border ball,"

The phenomenon.

At this time, the dive torpedo aircraft formation and bomber formation that took off from the aircraft carrier also arrived over the United States, Britain and Japan combined fleet, and a complete encirclement and suppression was launched.

The dive torpedo aircraft rushed towards the target with a terrifying howling sound and carried out a precise close-range strike.

At this time, the air defense firepower of the British and American mortars was greatly weakened. The huge group of bombers before blew up the decks of many warships, and many machine guns were destroyed.

The danger of diving of these torpedoes was greatly reduced, and more than 800 diving fish aircraft were like the last straw that crushed a camel.

The role of the bombers in the sky is not very big at this time, because the aircraft carrier of the United States, Britain and Japan combined fleet has been blown up, and now it can only blow up battleships.

The deck of the battleships was blown up, which only affected the air defense firepower at most, but it was not easy to explode and sink these battleships.

As for the two remaining sea power-class battleships, the decks were blown up in a mess at this time. Dozens of diving fish aircraft aimed at the two big guys and tried to drop the torpedoes, but found that there was no effect.

These small-caliber torpedoes cannot chew the armor of the sea power-class battleships, unless they are pursuing them unremittingly.

But obviously these torpedo machines have given up on this

I thought about it and turned to deal with other warships. As for these two sea power-class battleships, let the three fierce general-class battleships deal with it!

The thick smoke from the torpedo explosion enveloped many warships. At the same time, many warships in the United States, Britain and Japan were still burning with raging fires, and smoked into the sky like chimneys.

It was like a sea of ​​smoke. From the sky, warships were sunk and burning with flames everywhere. This spectacular scene was photographed by the battlefield reporters on the plane.

The severely damaged Haiquan-class battleship barely fled eastward with the fleet, but a large-caliber torpedo hit the tail rudder and the seawater began to pour into the hull. "Captain, the tail rudder was shot, we can't run away, surrender!"

"Yes! If we don't raise the white flag, we will be sunk. "Put the gap and raise the white flag." The captain issued an order without hesitation and was immediately supported by the sailors.

The surrender of the warships of Britain and the United States was so refreshingly because their confidence in winning this war was completely defeated by the strength demonstrated by the Chinese Empire.

Since the war is no longer possible to win, saving one's life is important.

At this time, a terrifying roar appeared in the sky again, and a large-scale army air force attacked like black clouds again, and the main force of the Chinese Empire naval forces also chased after them, and the battlecruisers rushed to the front.

Those East China-class battleships were obviously behind, and their speed was only so fast. There was nothing we could do if we couldn't keep up in this kind of pursuit battle.

This was a trinity maritime war, and the naval war entered an unprecedented complex stage, and the British, American and Japanese combined fleet was not prepared for this at all.
To be continued...
