The sinking of the battleship Fuso made Yu Huan feel a heart sink to the bottom, although the age of this battleship is very old, but its significance to the Japanese Navy is not ordinary, he is part of the Japanese 88 fleet plan, with the battlecruiser to compete for sea supremacy, but also the first battleship designed and manufactured by Japan itself, the then Taisho Emperor also specially named the battleship Fuso. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

You must know that according to the naming rules of the Imperial Japanese Navy, battleships are generally named after the name of the ancient Japanese order system, and the name Fuso does not belong to a certain order system in ancient Japan, but an ancient name of Japan

Just as the title Goryeo was to Korea, it was as important to Japan as it was. But now that the Fusang has sunk, and it was blown up and sunk by the Huaxia Air Force because of himself, Yu Huantang can imagine the ugly faces of those officials and men in the base camp when he returns to Japan.

"Your Excellency General, the Fuso has sunk, what are we going to do?" Kusaka Ryunosuke asked in a panic.

"Yaga...... Syllable! With a crisp sound, Kusaka Ryunosuke only felt a hot feeling on his face first, and then a hot feeling came from his face, only to see Yu Huan scolding: "We are still fighting, what's strange about sinking a battleship, or do you think that the warships of the Great Japanese Empire can never be silent?" ”

Looking at Yu Huantang's face as black as ink, Kusaka Ryunosuke immediately realized his mistake, and he quickly lowered his head and said loudly to Yu Huantang: "Your Excellency General, you are wrong in your humble position!" ”

Yu Huan squinted at this guy, he originally wanted to slap him again, but for the sake of him admitting his mistake so simply.

The battle continued, and it was clear that the ferocious vultures in the sky were not going to stop their attack just because they had shot down a battleship, and after losing several Stuka and two shrews, two more warships were bombed, this time the battleship Kongo and the cruiser Tama. An 800-kilogram aerial bomb just smashed on the No. 1 turret of the battleship King Kong, although it failed to penetrate the thick armor of the No. 1 turret, but the power of the explosion of 800 catties of high explosives was not a joke, the huge shock wave blew up the turret weighing more than ten tons into the air, and then fell into the sea and disappeared instantly, after the explosion, there was a huge hole in the original turret position on the front deck of the King Kong, and the billowing smoke came out of the hole, just this explosion, Dozens of Japanese naval officers and sailors inside the turret were all turned into powder.

The Kongo was heavily damaged, and the cruiser Tama, which was also hit by an 800-kilogram bomb, was not so lucky, the light cruiser of only 5,500 tons was easily blown in two by this heavy bomb, and 450 sailors, including Moritomo Ichisa, did not even have a chance to abandon ship and escape, and all sank into the sea with the warship.

It can be said that the battle entered a white heat from the beginning, and after sinking two warships, it reached a high tide, both sides were red-eyed, the anti-aircraft guns on the deck desperately poured shells into the sky, and hundreds of anti-aircraft guns blocked the entire sky into a tight net, and anyone who tried to get into this big net would be smashed to pieces. So far, six shrews and eleven Stuka have been shot down, and three B-25 bombers have been severely damaged by anti-aircraft fire and have to start returning, but the planes in the sky are not vegetarians, and with the efforts of shrew fighters, especially B-25, the personnel on the deck of the Japanese army are also suffering heavy casualties, especially the 75mm high-explosive bombs equipped with B-25 bombers have a frighteningly high kill rate, although these shells cannot penetrate the thick armor on the warship, However, after the high-explosive bomb hit the steel structure of the warship, the shrapnel exploded into deadly shrapnel flying everywhere, killing and wounding the gunners who were operating the anti-aircraft guns.

The battle lasted for more than half an hour, and after the Stuka bombers sent the last island destroyer to the bottom of the sea, a group of planes left the fleet and returned in the direction of Hangzhou. Looking at the fleet with thick smoke billowing everywhere, Yu Huan was almost like crying without tears, in just half an hour, the battleship Fuso and the cruiser Tama and two destroyers were sunk, the battleship Kongo and two cruisers were heavily damaged, as for the number of dead and wounded, although there was no statistics, he knew that it must be indispensable without asking.

The bad news is not over, when the air raid group left, Yasui Kuno Nakasa also led the raid on the Taizhou port of the fleet back to the fleet, this time when the original more than 120 aircraft group returned to the pitiful more than 30 planes, nearly half of them returned with injuries, looking at the sparse return group and looking at the flaming fleet, Yu Huan couldn't help but cry like rain, if he had known that there would be this result to kill him, he would not agree to this plan to raid the port of Taizhou.

"Your Excellency General, I'm really sorry, I failed to live up to your expectations, please punish me heavily!" The first thing Yasui Hisano, who had returned to the aircraft carrier, did was to kneel in front of Yu Huan and ask for punishment.

Looking at Yasui Jiuneng, who was lying on the ground with his head heavy, Yu Huan did not make a sound for a long time. There was silence on the deck, all the officers and soldiers were looking at Yu Huantang, and some people were worried that Yu Huan would pull out his command knife and split him in half under the anger, but he just fell silent for a long time and then leaned over to help Yasui Jiuneng up, stared at Yasui Jiuneng carefully and said: "Yasui-kun, you have to remember the lesson of this time, this time we are too light on the enemy, if it weren't for my rush to make meritorious service, I wouldn't have made this decision hastily, so that the fleet suffered such heavy losses, and I will ask the base camp for guilt after I go back, You don't have to worry! ”

"Your Excellency, General!" The eyes of the officers around him immediately turned red, and they knew that Yu Huan was going to take all the responsibility off his shoulders when he said this.

Yu Huan waved his hand: "Okay, you don't have to say it anymore, you don't have to blame yourself, you all did your best, if someone is responsible for this operation, it will naturally be me, now let's go back immediately!" ”

Under the command of Yu Huantang, the fleet, which had originally come to send Su Jin and the Third Army into the sea, sailed to the naval base in Sasebo with a scar......

In this battle, the Japanese certainly suffered heavy losses, but the losses of the Third Army were not small. Although no battleships were sunk in the French fleet, the cruiser Foch and the heavy cruiser Algeria were each hit by a torpedo, although they did not sink, but the hull was punched with a big hole, and the two battleships were finally saved by the desperate rescue of the sailors. Not only that, but there were several warships that were slightly injured in the battle just now, but this is not important, now the most headache for Admiral Laborde Taizhou has no shipyard at all, and there is no maintenance capacity, if you want to repair the damaged battleships, you will either gradually drag these two back to France for repair or send them to the United States for repair, France doesn't have to think about it, and if you want to repair these two warships, you can only go to the United States, but no one dares to guarantee that these two ships with two big holes in their hulls can not insist on reaching their destinations. In case of a storm along the way, if you don't get it right, the ship will be destroyed and people will die.

Everyone has their own troubles, and after receiving the casualty report handed in by Chu Yuan, Su Jin, who was waiting for news in the headquarters, was speechless for a long time. Although today's battle inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army, and obtained the warplanes that sank a battleship, a cruiser and two destroyers, and severely damaged the other two battleships of the Japanese army, the group of planes that attacked was also not lightly damaged, especially the Stuka dive bomber squadron suffered the greatest loss, a full squadron of thirty dive bombers came back nine, the shrew fighters also lost eleven planes, and three B-25s were also heavily damaged, and they barely flew back to Hangzhou Airport. On the port side, although more than 80 enemy aircraft have been destroyed, relatively speaking, the losses are much less, only three shrews and one P47 Thunderbolt fighter plane were lost, and the pilot can also parachute to escape, compared to the pilot who died directly on Dachen Island, it is much better, but today is just over an hour of combat The 1st Air Division lost 39 fighters, and the most distressing thing for Su Jin was the 32 pilots who died, which Su Jin was trained with great difficulty. Now it's only been a little over an hour and it's gone, how can this not make him uncomfortable.

Seeing that Su Jin was silent for a long time, Chu Yuan, who knew his intentions, comforted: "Sir, although our losses are not small, the losses of the Japanese are even greater, you should be happy!" ”

Su Jin smiled bitterly: "Yes, it stands to reason that I should be happy, but I feel sad when I think of the glorious thirty-odd brothers." You said how long did it take us to save up so much, but now it's good, we lost a squadron in one morning, can I not be sad? ”

"Sir, you can't think like that." Chu Yuan said with some emotion: "The department originally followed Commander Gao Zhihang to serve in the Fourth Expulsion Brigade, from the Anti-Japanese War to the present, how many good men in our Huaxia Air Force have spilled their blood in the sky, including Senior Gao who also died in the sneak attack of the Japanese, but I believe that those brothers who died in battle will never regret it, they are worthy of the oath they once made, they paid their lives to defend the sky of China!" ”

Hearing this, Su Jin's heart was shocked, he slowly closed his eyes, and only opened his eyes for a long time to look at Chu Yuan and nodded solemnly: "You're right, I'm too childlike." For the sake of this ancient and calamitous country, we must all have the determination to sacrifice our lives for the country at any time, and the Japanese must let them pay back what they owe us!
