93. Lure the wolf

"Forward!" The general did not hesitate to order, and even the death of his companions could not stop their determination to return to their homeland. Beside their ship, another battleship had been following them all the time, and the two battleships were moving at great speed in the sea ahead.

Although the general shouted nicely, calling their operation a strategic retreat, and saying that it was just to not make senseless sacrifices and live up to the sacrificed comrades-in-arms, no matter how beautiful the words and high-sounding reasons were, they could not hide the fact that they could only flee in wolves now. They are like a pack of elk cornered by hungry wolves, and they don't know where to be safe. All they could do was to speed up their escape, and pray that the battleship that was left behind would be able to tow those Chinese planes a little longer, a little longer.

It's a pity that the battleship that sank in the waters of China failed to buy them too much time after all. After the two warships had traveled some distance, they were finally overtaken by six planes, and then there was another indiscriminate bombardment. Like sharks smelling blood, the six planes pounced and fiercely stared at the flesh of their prey, and they couldn't get rid of it. In front of the two Japanese warships, the six planes had an absolute superiority in action, and due to the limitation of the activity space, it was difficult for the Japanese army to make an effective attack on the six planes, and they could only keep dodging the attacks from above.

Seeing that this continued, both warships would not be able to leave, and the commander of one of the warships made a choice.

He was going to desperately escort the general away. If one of the two warships had to be sunk today, he hoped that the general would escape smoothly and avenge them the next day.

In his mind, he hadn't even thought about letting the general's ship serve as a shield so that they could leave. To the general, or rather, to his superiors, he had absolute loyalty. He really couldn't imagine that the chief was dead and he was still alive, which was a dereliction of duty for him!

Although, according to the current situation, perhaps, they will not escape in the end. However, if you don't fight hard and fight, how will you know the result?

The officer glared hatefully at the planes hovering in the air, and it was these planes that drove them to the brink of despair. The people of their own ship, as well as the soldiers who were far away from their homeland on the ship that had just been sunk, could have returned home safely! But now, all the hopes of a life have been wiped out by the executioner in front of him? How can he not resent, how can he not hate?

The officer subconsciously ignored that their expedition to China and the killing of the Chinese ** people was an unrighteous act. If we talk about hatred, the hatred in the hearts of the Chinese people is definitely deeper than theirs. If, as he believes, the Japanese soldiers who have made "meritorious deeds" on the land of China "should" have returned to their homeland safely and returned like heroes, then what should happen to the Chinese people who "should" live and work in peace and contentment on this land, but their families were ruined by these invaders from afar?

I was already an aggressor, and now I blame the invader for rebelling against them, which is too ridiculous.

However, there has always been such a thing as a position. No party will admit that what they stand is wrong and what they do is wrong.

The general, who was sitting on another ship, listened to the decision of his subordinates and praised it: "You are worthy of being a warrior of my great Japan, and your courage and loyalty will always be remembered by future generations!" When I return to my home country, I will apply to the Emperor for your commendation. Don't worry, your glory will never be tarnished! ”

Although the general's words were encouraging, it was clear that the officer did not think that this qiē could really be realized. He was silent for a second before he spoke, his hoarse voice with unprecedented solemnity: "We lost this battle and failed to live up to the expectations of His Majesty the Emperor. How can a person like us who treats sins dare to be commended by His Majesty the Emperor? I only hope that His Majesty the Emperor will forgive our sins for the sake of our sacrifice for the country, and not nail us to the pillar of shame, and that is all we can hope for. ”

"I will speak this to the Emperor, and the great and merciful Emperor will understand us. Although we lost to Hua Guo in this battle, it was not our fault, all of them were because Hua Guo secretly purchased advanced and powerful weapons! Listening to the roar in his ears and feeling the shaking caused by the bullet in the hull, the general's expression had long since faded from his composure.

"The Japanese people will always remember your contribution to them!" With such a sentence, the general ordered the captain to go at full speed and try to get rid of the six terrible things.

So, the pilots on the six planes saw one of the battleships fighting them below turn around and ran. After they fled, another battleship stopped in the middle.

In fact, the soldiers on that battleship were not sure if they could stop these air killers, they were absolutely weak in front of these air killers. However, from the experience just now, it seems that these air killers are acting together, and this time, it should be the same, right?

Truth be told, officers can only bet that they are acting together, or for some reason, they have to act together. If the six planes were to split up, half of them would snipe him, and half of them would attack the general's battleship, and the officers would have nothing to do.

So he was right, the six planes watched their ships cover the general's ship leaving, and did not try to prevent the general's ship from escaping, let alone ask the troops to split into two ways and pursue the general.

While secretly rejoicing in his heart, the officer couldn't help but have some doubts. If the six planes had to advance and retreat together, and therefore did not go after the general's ships, and he could understand that none of them intervened during the general's departure, and did not try to prevent the general from leaving, which made the officer feel puzzled.

Are the Chinese ready to open up to them? Obviously, this is not possible. Looking at the fallen companions on the shore, listening to the sinking of their comrades' warships behind them, the officers never believed that the Chinese would suddenly relent, the only possibility was that they had premeditated this, and letting the general's ship leave was also part of their premeditated plan. Putting down such a bait, what they are trying to do is obviously not small!

Thinking of this, the officer's heart tightened, and he was about to remind his commander, but he found that it was too late.

How could he not understand the character of his own head official? Even if he heard his own speculation, how could he give up the opportunity to escape because of a guess? It's late, it's too late to say anything. The officers thought to themselves that all they could do now was to tow these planes here as much as they could. They were deeply insulted by the enemy, their comrades were killed by the enemy, they were calculated by the enemy, and yet, they were all destroyed, and much could not be done.

The officer watched the death squad try their best to hit the planes, and could only fall in vain one after another, and a touch of sadness crossed his eyes.

After some time, the general heard a loud explosion behind them. Something, exploded in the sea......

On the only surviving ship, everyone understood what had happened, but they couldn't turn back, they didn't dare to turn back, they could only move on with bitter hatred.

By this time, they had already gone some distance, believing that even if the planes were to catch up, they would not be so fast. They are now in the deep sea. No matter how powerful those planes are, they need fuel and no supplies, and maybe they won't last long before they go back.

Everyone was hoping that the air killers wouldn't catch up with them. After the two battles just now, they were almost frightened. They knew very well that if the aerial killers caught up with them, they were afraid that they would follow in the footsteps of their companions.

Perhaps it was their Izanagi god who heard their prayers, and in short, the rest of the journey was peaceful. The terrible planes did not catch up, and the general and his subordinates let go of their fearful hearts, and began to worry about how to explain to Emperor Taisho after returning home.

At the beginning, Emperor Taisho overrode public opinion and sent the general to Huaguo, which was to value the general's ability and his loyalty to the emperor, and wanted to give him a chance to establish meritorious service.

In any case, failure is failure, and no amount of reason can hide this fact. The general sighed, this time, I'm afraid that even His Majesty the Emperor won't be able to protect them, right? Those hateful old stubborns will not let them go, and they will fight them to suppress the forces belonging to the emperor.

The closer he got to the shore, the heavier the general's mood grew.

But soon, he realized that he didn't need to have a headache about it.

At some point, Huaguo's two turboshaft fighters actually hid on top of them, and came to Japan with them on a "tailwind ship"!

Yes, only those two turboshafts followed. After the second Japanese battleship was dismantled, the four piston propeller engines had returned home after handing over their spare fuel to the turboshaft engines due to their lack of endurance, and the two turboshaft engines had been attached to the back of Japan's last battleship, quietly aboard the ship while they were all busy dealing with the rough seas. The Japanese soldiers could not see their position, and they took advantage of it.

And now, we are almost at our destination, and the "downwind boat" is naturally useless!

The pilots of the two turboshaft fighters were soon in full swing and showed no mercy to the last battleship.

It turned out that this was their true strength, and in the battle just now, they actually concealed most of their strength. He lost and was not wronged. The general closed his eyes and felt the heat rush across his face, and the thought crossed his mind.

At the last moment, the boatload only saw the fire in front of them bloom like brilliant stars......

Boom -

A few seconds later, a sudden explosion on the surface of the water set off a huge wave.
