Chapter 55: The Scuffle (6)

As the commander of the fleet, Inada Fukuyama was sad but lucky, and when the flagship control tower was directly hit by two rockets, Inada Fukuyama, who was rummaged through the control tower, was miraculously unscathed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Fukuyama Inada, who was freed from his vertigo, could hardly believe his eyes, and through the fireworks in his eyes, the originally high-spirited fleet was now in ruins, and the sea and deck were full of corpses and fireworks.

At this moment, a radar soldier with half of his face covered in blood rushed into the control tower and screamed, "There is a fleet coming towards us", this sudden new situation instantly caused Inada Fukuyama to enter a state of vertigo again. The radar soldier was right, there is indeed a fleet heading for Hangzhou Bay, but at this time the South China Sea Fleet has lost 80% of all weapons and equipment, and there are still a large number of casualties.

Less than 50 nautical miles south of the Japanese South China Sea Fleet, a fleet of more than 20 ships was rapidly approaching this side, and if the Japanese naval officers and men who had experienced the Battle of Singapore saw this fleet, they would definitely recognize that the ship sailing in the center of this fleet at this moment was the cruiser Yoshijin Maru, which was originally part of the Japanese Navy. The cruiser Yoshijin Maru was originally part of the Japanese Navy, but it was captured by umbrella when it went south to Burma, and after some modifications, the Japanese cruiser, which still retains most of the characteristics of the original ship, has become a troop carrier.

At the same time that the Japanese South China Sea Fleet discovered this fleet, the fleet that went north also discovered the Japanese South China Sea Fleet, and McHausen, who was appointed as the commander of the fleet, was originally a captain of the US Navy, and if it were not for MacArthur's defeat in the Philippines, the warship under Machausen's original command would not have been besieged and sunk by Japanese warships in Philippine waters. Today, McHausen has been hired by the Umbrella to become the commander of a temporary fleet of sailors who have fled from the Philippines to Australia.

With seven warships captured from the Japanese, six armed troop carriers converted from merchant ships, a dozen frigates of all sizes, and 30 carrier-based aircraft, the temporary fleet commanded by McHausen was rudimentary. But McHausen gladly accepted the order to lead the team north, and when almost all the naval officers under him spoke out to stop him, only McHausen chose to unconditionally obey Zhuo Fei's order.

Facts have proved that McHausen made the right choice, and more than 10 minutes after the radar discovered the position of the Japanese South China Sea Fleet, the reconnaissance plane that took off from the aircraft carrier sent back first-hand information, and this information surprised McHausen and others to the great surprise. According to the intelligence sent back by the reconnaissance plane, the Japanese South China Sea Fleet has suffered heavy losses, and although it has not yet been confirmed whether any ships in the opposing fleet have been sunk, the reconnaissance plane YI8J can be 100 percent sure that the damage rate of the weapons configuration of the Japanese South China Sea Fleet is close to 8 percent, in other words, the firepower output capability of the Japanese South China Sea Fleet has dropped to the point of almost insignificance.

Taking advantage of his illness to kill him, the act of beating water dogs is not only good at Chinese, McHausen, who once suffered a big loss at the hands of the Japanese Navy, is also an expert in beating water dogs. After receiving the order from McHausen from the flagship, the two aircraft carriers accompanying the operation slowly turned around and adjusted the position of the flight deck to a downwind position, and the ground crews who worked tirelessly began to do the final inspection and lift-off equipment work for the fighters that appeared on the deck.

The parachute team is not the best in the world today, but the weapons that the parachute is equipped with are not available in other countries in the world. Thirty fighters armed with air-to-ground rockets took off one after another and flew towards the Japanese South China Sea Fleet dozens of nautical miles away, while McHausen's other warships had already opened their attack formations and slowly approached the Japanese South China Sea Fleet, which was shrouded in thick smoke. The 30 fighters of the temporary fleet were supposed to join in the fun, but it turned out that the losses of the Japanese South China Sea Fleet seemed to be far worse than the intelligence sent back by the reconnaissance planes, so that the flying teams were not sure whether they would fire rockets.

Finding that a fleet was approaching him, Inada Fukuyama, who had already recovered his senses, immediately ordered the South China Sea Fleet to retreat northward, his original intention was to avoid contact with the other party, but he didn't want to A few minutes later, the roar of fighter planes was heard in the sky. "Yaga, damn the Shina people." After seeing the appearance of those fighters clearly in the telescope, Inada Fukuyama couldn't help but scold, can't the Chinese army fight a naval battle with himself in an upright manner? Why do you always send planes to sneak up on yourself?

Finding that the battered Japanese fleet seemed to have no need to continue the attack, the fighter squadron transmitted the actual information back to the fleet, and upon learning of this news, McHausen, who had made a slight judgment, immediately ordered the fleet to speed up, and then ordered all four gunships in the fleet to take off. These four helicopter gunships were specially equipped for the fleet when the temporary fleet left Kuala Lumpur, and were originally used to guide the landing of ground troops when the fleet carried out landing warfare.

The silence was broken by the sound of "boom" and "boom" explosions, and the two Japanese frigates that had retreated to the north according to the order were hit by rockets fired by the fighters. "This is just a warning, if you want to live, immediately raise the white flag and surrender." The helicopter hovering in mid-air let out an angry roar, and a Japanese-speaking overseas Chinese soldier repeated these words over and over again through an electric horn.

Not all Japanese soldiers were not afraid of death, and not all Japanese officers had the courage to use sabers to cut their bellies. Ten minutes later, the first Japanese ship to raise the white flag appeared, and the small frigate, which had been on the periphery of the entire South China Sea Fleet, slowly moved south according to the helicopter instructions, until it was caught in the middle of McHausen's two ships, one left and one right.

With the first to surrender to the other side, soon the second and third appeared, and after about half an hour, the number of Japanese ships that voluntarily surrendered to McHausen's fleet had reached 7, but to McHausen's displeasure, these 7 ships did not include the main warships of the Japanese South China Sea Fleet. "Order, the torpedo boats 201 and 301 will attack immediately and sink the opponent's flagship for me." Seeing that almost an hour had passed, McHausen did not intend to continue with the Japanese fleet, so he immediately ordered the dispatch of torpedo boats to teach the Japanese a lesson.

Inada Fukuyama, who was in the flagship, had been thinking of countermeasures, and with the ships already surrendering to the other side, Inada Fukuyama was still fantasizing about leading his fleet to the mainland or the Korean Peninsula safely. The torpedo boats, which received the order to attack, immediately attacked, only to find that the cunning Japanese commander had hidden the flagship in a small circle surrounded by several ships, and they could not find the opportunity to use the torpedo at all. In desperation, McHausen continued to send carrier-based aircraft, and with only six air-to-ground rockets, the flagship where Inada Fukuyama was located was crooked, showing signs that it was about to capsize and sink.

Before the flagship was about to overturn, Inada Fukuyama, as the commander of the fleet, shamefully chose to raise the white flag and surrender. The white flags that represented voluntary surrender were raised one after another, and McHausen was overjoyed to be able to capture a fleet with zero casualties, which was a shame for McHausen. There was no order for the fleet to come closer, and all the sailors sent to receive the enemy ships only crossed the sea between the two fleets by helicopter, and after some scrambling arrangements and arrangements, McHausen was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and until now he finally understood what his boss had said on the docks.

Leading a team of rookie sailors who can be called simple and have not yet been run-in in actual combat all the way north, McHausen was not so optimistic. He even planned that if he encountered the Japanese South China Sea Fleet halfway, he might order the fleet to retreat to avoid the Japanese fleet, but the facts told him that what his boss said was true, and he had come to pick up the bargain when he went north this time.

Looking at the damage management reports of the Japanese ships reported by the damage management soldiers, McHausen, who was in a good mood, couldn't help laughing, these Japanese ships looked badly damaged, but they didn't actually hurt the vital parts. McHausen did not expect to send these Japanese fleets into battle immediately, but it was more than enough to ignore the destroyed weapons and control towers, and the Japanese ships that he had forced to surrender to use as troop carriers or supply ships.

McHausen did not know what efforts his boss and flight commander Merkel had made to attack the Japanese South China Sea Fleet, and he would not have known that more than 30 warplanes had been shot down by the Japanese fleet, including 12 people in the Parachute Flying Group, whose whereabouts were unknown. McHausen had no idea of this, except that within the next five hours the provisional fleet under his command would have to rush to Hangzhou Bay and make contact with the local guerrilla forces or umbrella reconnaissance units.

Finally had the opportunity to observe the enemy ships at close range, but as a fleet commander but had become a prisoner of war, Inada Fukuyama was not given preferential treatment, he and 500 other Japanese officers and soldiers were imprisoned in the bottom compartment of an aircraft carrier, but in this way, Inada Fukuyama had the opportunity to see with his own eyes the mysterious new weapon used by the opponent's fighters, but Inada Fukuyama did not know that the weapon that could be used for long-range attacks was called air-to-ground rockets.
