It is said that the formation of the combined fleet of the Navy is ||type, forming two long dragons, this formation is conducive to command and deployment, which is different from the traditional one-line shape.

This is also the new formation of the Yueben Navy this year, while the East China Air Force has dropped torpedoes from the tail of two parallel lines, which means that many warships and ships cannot be seen.

Yuzaburo Kato ordered a free dodge, causing the entire formation to immediately go haywire.

The 150 torpedoes were arranged in three rows, each row was about 50 rounds, some more and some less, and because the launch time was not uniform, it was not neatly arranged, forming a torpedo cluster.

When the warships at the tail of the combined fleet of the Navy, saw these torpedoes and hurriedly dodged on both sides, the ships in front of them did not see them until they approached because communication was not so convenient.

Any dodge is already too late!

Boom Boom Boom Boom ...... The torpedoes hit the waterline of the ships of the Navy one after another, and these were 533mm caliber torpedoes, and the explosion was so violent that ordinary ships could withstand it.

Small mushroom clouds emerged from the bodies of these hit ships, and after some small ships were hit, they were even directly blown up and disintegrated, and the mutilation flew around, scattered on the surface of the sea.

It is said that the warships have weak protection against waterline torpedoes, just like the British, even the American South Carolina-class battleships.

A South Carolina-class battleship was hit directly into the waterline in the middle of the bottom of the ship in a dodge situation, and after a black smoke rose, a huge hole was blown out of the waterline, and then began to sink rapidly...... The Kongo, the earliest of the Kongo-class battlecruisers, was even more miserable, due to improper dodge, it was hit by torpedoes rushing from behind, and in just seven seconds, it was hit by five 533mm caliber torpedoes, which were blown up and disintegrated on the spot, and the entire ship was broken into three parts.

Just as the entire Combined Fleet of the Navy's Combined Fleet was hurriedly dodging this wave of torpedoes, the 1st Group of Torpedo Bombers that flew over the head of the Combined Fleet of the Navy's Combined Fleet turned back again, flew over the bow of the Navy's ships one after another, and dropped the second torpedo.

The anti-aircraft guns opened fire one after another, but the Mosquito fish bombers at low altitude were so fast that they were basically inaccurate, and they were simply flashing by.

This made the scene even more chaotic, and when the second torpedo was dropped one after another, the scene was even more chaotic, and the entire combined fleet was in chaos.

Yuzaburo Kato didn't know how to command in such a situation, and the only order he could give was to dodge freely.

The second wave of torpedoes is more lethal, this time the torpedoes are freely dropped, the pilot chooses the target and the time of launch, and the Mosquito bomber has a super low-altitude bombing ability, which makes the hit rate extremely high.

Zhao Chenxi piloted a mosquito torpedo bomber and rushed towards a very huge warship, he could feel the rain of bullets whistling around, but it was all placed indiscriminately by the devils below, and they basically didn't aim, so he wasn't worried.

When he flew the torpedo bomber to about 50 meters away from the warship, he immediately pressed the bomb button, and the torpedo in the magazine was immediately dropped.

When Zhao Chenxi drove the plane over the head of the warship, and after waiting for about a few seconds, he looked back, and a violent explosion sounded just like that, and the huge warship had already emitted a cloud of black smoke.

Both torpedoes were dropped, and Zhao Chenxi hurriedly returned to the ship, hoping to catch up with the second bombing.

What Zhao Chenxi didn't know was that he bombed the Yamashiro, the flagship of the Combined Fleet of the Yuben Navy, which was a Fusang-class battleship that was launched by the Yuben Shipyard overtime.

Yuzaburo Kato was in command on the Yamashiro, but it was also very conspicuous, and when Zhao Chenxi's plane hit the Yamashiro, a large hole was blown out of the waterline of the Yamashiro.

The sea water is frantically rushing into the hull of the ship, and the wooden torpedo-proof watertight compartment can't afford to hurt it!

Yuzaburo Kato felt a violent vibration under his feet and knew that he had been hit.

At this time, when Yuzaburo Kato looked at the sky in the distance, he saw a scene that made his scalp tingle.

I saw that the sky in the distance was densely packed with airplanes, and there were so many planes that it was almost impossible to count, almost covering the sky in the distance.

"Retreat, retreat." Yuzaburo Kato was completely discouraged, he didn't expect that there would be so many planes in Shina, and he couldn't help but scream in horror, he simply missed his position.

"Commander, our hull is badly damaged, and there is a lot of water at the bottom of the ship, and it will take time to plug the leak." A staff officer panicked and ran into the bridge to report.

"Then order the other ships to retreat and retreat separately...... "Yuzaburo Kato shouted.

"Hay......"

At this time, at this time, all the ships of the Combined Fleet of the Navy discovered the bomber group that was coming from the black pressure in the distance.

Many of the sailors even screamed in horror on the spot, causing people to panic.

Fifteen bomber groups were rapidly approaching the Combined Fleet, and these bombers were flying very high, about 4,500 meters high.

Most of the small-caliber anti-aircraft guns in the combined fleet became floating clouds, these bombers flew through the sky, and bombs were dropped from a height of more than four thousand meters.

It was an intensive bombardment.

Carpet bombing...... Babble...... Babble...... Babble...... Many of the bombs were dropped with a terrifying whistling sound, but once hit, the consequences would be terrifying...... I only heard a loud 'boom', and a bombshell fell directly on the deck of the Kirishima and fell from a height of more than 4,000 meters, and the potential energy was already extremely terrifying.

The thin deck was pierced, and the bomb pierced through two decks, and then exploded, and after a loud bang, the Kirishima's ammunition depot was detonated...... A series of explosions continued to be heard, and shells from the entire ammunition depot were killed.

However, it may be that the hit rate is not high, and many Mosquito bombers began to lower the nose of the aircraft and once again adopted a low-altitude bombing attack mode.

Seeing countless planes rushing down from the sky with great vigour, when the combined fleet received the order to retreat, it opened up at full speed and fled to the southwest.

The anti-aircraft guns ran and fought, and really knocked some mosquito bombers down from the sky.

At this time, the East China Air Force already had 3,000 Mosquito bombers of various types, some of which were even converted into attack planes, and even more of them had all their artillery mounted on the Mosquito bombers, but they were still in the experimental stage.

More than 2,000 Mosquito bombers were overwhelming, and soon these mosquito bombers surrounded the combined fleet.

These bombers were not in a hurry to bomb, but carried out bombing in small groups. And those who have not yet started bombing are hovering in the air and waiting.

Another 600 torpedo planes also arrived at the scene one after another, joining the encirclement of the combined fleet, and from time to time bombers and torpedo planes flew out of the cluster, pinning down bombs and torpedoes on a target.

Attacks are coming from all directions!

There are constantly warships that are hit, and once these warships are damaged and their speed slows down, then their end has come.

First of all, the torpedo planes were responsible for the attack, and many of these torpedo machines carried small-caliber torpedoes, which were dropped many times by these torpedo machines.

The torpedo planes were constantly dropping torpedoes underneath, and as soon as a warship of the Combined Fleet slowed down after being hit, the bombers immediately rushed down in a swarm, and the bombs began to beckon these slowed warships, and in less than three minutes they could sink them.

It is said that the combined fleet suffered heavy losses under such an attack, but by this time these warships had also begun to disperse, and after they dispersed, the bombers and torpedo planes in the sky also began to disperse.

More than a dozen torpedo planes continued to drop torpedoes around a warship, and the warships below could only dodge while driving.

However, the torpedoes were thrown too intensively, and many of the warships did not flash past at all, and the torpedo protection capabilities of those warships of the combined fleet were very weak, and once they were hit, there would definitely be problems.

Generally, the speed is greatly reduced, and some are the steering gear, tail rudder or something is hit and cannot turn the rudder, which means that the end is coming, and the following bombers will dive down and pour bombs on these warships, in which case the hit rate is generally very high.

Yuzaburo Kato's Yamashiro suffered this fate after escaping for about a kilometer, and since it had been hit by a torpedo in a large hole, it became as fast as a snail.

Then, a swarm of bombers rushed down from the sky, and a stream of bombs fell from the sky, and the deck of the Yamashiro was blown into disarray, and the interior was quickly breached by the bombs, and the sea water gushed into the cabin.

Yuzaburo Kato sank in the Bohai Sea with the Yamashiro, he did not dive to survive, he knew that he could not live, such a big defeat, only to die to be loyal to the emperor, to continue to live will be a shame for the soldiers.

It turned out that those anti-aircraft guns were not at all reliable.

These anti-aircraft guns belong to the first generation of anti-aircraft artillery technology, and they are called a bad word in terms of muzzle velocity, firing range, and reaction speed.

What is even more unreliable is that they ran into the Mosquito bomber, a bomber that completely subverted low-altitude bombing.

Except for a few planes that were sunk because they were too dense, the other Mosquito bombers were intact and chased after the fleeing ships in droves.

The South Carolina-class battleships converted into anti-aircraft battleships, because they were the slowest, were soon all sunk under siege.

Some ships are extremely fast, such as torpedo boats and destroyers, which are not only fast, but also have small targets, and bombers chasing these small ships can only be said to be a headache, these ships are difficult to hit, and they are as slippery as loaches.

However, these ships are only auxiliary ships, not the objects of heavy sinking and sinking, and those ships are the main force of the combined fleet.

It was only the first wave of air raids, and all the battleships of the combined fleet of the Navy were sunk under the air raids, and these battleships were the slowest and the largest.

At the same time, none of the heavy cruisers of the Combined Fleet were spared, these heavy battlecruisers were fast, but they were not good at protection, they were far less durable than those battleships, and they were about the same size as those battleships.

The Yamashiro, Kongo, Haruna, and Kirishima that had just been launched by the Yamashiro Navy were all sunk, and it can be said that the losses were extremely heavy, almost 90 percent of the capital ships of the Yamamoto Navy, and the tonnage sank reached 360,000 tons.

As for the auxiliary ships, they did not sink much, only about 30%, and most of them escaped safely in the air raids.

The air defense system, which had been carefully prepared by the Navy for the East China Air Force for a year, collapsed in less than two hours and suffered a crushing defeat.

"We won, long live the chairman." Xue Tongjing, commander of the strategic bomber formation, shouted excitedly as he watched the last battleship on the sea sink to the bottom of the sea.

The pilot of the formation heard his shout and shouted in the same voice: "Long live the chairman......"

"All return." Xue Tongjing ordered.

…… It worked!

When the news reached the General Headquarters, everyone stood up excitedly, but they didn't expect the Air Force to be so mighty that it would take out the Combined Fleet with a wave of bombing.

However, the more than 3,000 Mosquito bombers are indeed terrifying, and at this time, the Air Force has overdrawn 200 million military expenditures in order to equip these Mosquito bombers and train flight personnel.

But the investment of 300 million yuan was worth it, this battle sank most of the capital ships of Yuben, and the sea area was relatively deep, obviously losing the ability to salvage these warships.

This war was supposed to regress into a second-rate naval state, or even a third-rate naval state.

Xia Jun was even more excited in his heart, the spicy one next door finally knocked out Xiao Yueben's combined fleet, and no matter how he developed the navy in the future, it would be impossible for him to catch up with China's footsteps.

In the future, you can steadily abuse this navy!

Everyone in the command was beaming, and a good start was half the battle.

"We not only defeated the combined fleet, but also annihilated most of the capital ships on the border of the Bohai Sea, and there is no suspense in this battle." Chen Xuanyu said happily.

Zhang Bolan smiled: "Yes! Now that the company has completely lost the ability to open up the lines of communication again, the defeat of the Shandong army is a foregone conclusion. The chairman, his subordinates, thought it was time to attack. ”

Xia Jun got up and said: "Order the naval command to completely block the Bohai Bay, you go and prepare, and Ming said that according to the original plan, the army will be assaulted." ”

"Yes."

…… The news soon spread back to Hangzhou, and the newspapers in Hangzhou immediately stopped all printing, went all out to print the number, and sent it out as quickly as possible.

"Outside, outside, the navy was defeated and reduced to a second-rate navy."

"Outside, outside, the East China Air Force has been defeated again, and the battle situation in Shandong has been decid......ed."

Hearing the shouts of these newspaper sellers, the whole street was boiling, and they went to collect the numbers, which were free and did not charge money.

Newspapers do not charge for these off-the-scenes reports about the war, mainly as a result of fierce competition, and newspapers are trying to attract more stable subscribers.

As soon as the news spread, the people of the provinces were boiling for a moment when they learned the news.

The country needs an inspiring victory so badly, because the country has already experienced many defeats, many blood and tears.

In particular, this victory is of unusual significance, because after this victory, the Yue Ben was no longer able to maintain the sea line of communication, and the Shandong Yue army was in a state of encirclement.

Under such circumstances, even if the Shandong army achieved some successes, it could not escape the fate of destruction after all, and China had largely won the victory at this time.

When the news reached Hangzhou, Li Shijing was also overjoyed, and her man was the strongest. Then Li Shijing celebrated the victory with the people in Hangzhou's East China Square, and a large number of people gathered in East China Square to celebrate the victory. ”
