The battleship Atlantic withdrew, but the battle continued. The destroyers and torpedo boats of the Maritime Resistance Army all began a frantic attack when they saw that the Atlantic was damaged.

The mine-striking cruiser Oi was overbearing, but referring to its torpedoes, as for the artillery fire, it was almost negligible.

The Naval Resistance Forces first began the torpedo strike with four torpedo boats, and then three destroyers joined the shelling.

The captain of the Oi, Chai Katsuo, was forced to run around the sea by the strong firepower.

Later, six air defense destroyers of the Naval Resistance Army also joined the encirclement and suppression, and even if the Ojing had a speed advantage, how could it escape the siege of as many as 11 warships.

Later, the USS PJP seaplane carrier also joined the encirclement and suppression, and the maritime reconnaissance planes firmly targeted the cruiser Dajing.

This encirclement and suppression at sea continued until the afternoon of the same day, and finally, when it was close to dark, hundreds of Japanese officers and soldiers under the Ojing Chai Katsuo and the others surrendered.

If he didn't surrender, he still had the confidence to escape from Ascension by relying on his speed advantage and armor advantage, but just after noon, he found that the Dajing was seriously short of fuel.

It's not surprising at all that the little devil set off from Singapore and detoured the Sunda Strait, which was already far away. And after an extremely fuel-guzzling high-speed escape, the last drop of oil has been exhausted in more than ten hours.

Chai Shengnan spared his life, so naturally he didn't have the courage to sink the battleship, so he had to raise the white flag and surrender.

This was so hard to happen that the Naval Resistance captured a nearly intact Thunderbolt cruiser.

The battle of the submarines to encircle the Japanese merchant ships went quite smoothly, and several merchant ships and oil tankers, as well as a destroyer, were sunk one by one by the submarine of the Maritime Resistance Army before they could escape into the port of Trincomalee.

Only one escort aircraft carrier and one destroyer escaped into the Trincomalee military port, relying on the advantage of speed. But in the early hours of the morning, Ren Tianyang played a tailgating tactic and sank all of them in the military port.

Tail the enemy's warships. Blind sailing into the opponent's military port, this difficult tactic, the naval resistance army has a lot of experience. In actual combat, he has already scored a hat trick, and he is very proficient in playing, and Ren Tianyang, the captain of the second submarine team, is one of the masters.

When sinking the Japanese escort aircraft carrier, Ren Tianyang spent four torpedoes. Ren Tianyang is actually not so extravagant, and the officers and men of the submarine of the Maritime Resistance Army are very good at calculating the use of torpedoes.

Ren Tianyang's explanation for the use of four torpedoes is that the sea water in the Trincomalee military port is not deep, especially near the pier, where the water depth is only 10 meters. A 20,000-ton ship is easy to salvage even if it sinks on the bottom of the sea. It's better to be extravagant, with a few more torpedoes, and completely blow the ship into scrap metal. To know. Li Guang attaches the most importance to aircraft carriers.

In fact, even when Ren Tianyang fired a torpedo. I don't know. This aircraft carrier is really just a spectacle.

However, it was Ren Tianyang's move that brought a fatal disaster to the Japanese army and the people of Ceylon.

The explosion of four torpedoes blew up the ship, and even more detonated the full load of ammunition on the aircraft carrier. However, Ren Tianyang didn't know at all. Because the explosion did not cause an excessively violent explosion.

It turned out that Nishimura saw that it would be difficult to break the defense line of the Naval Resistance Army, so he was ready to sacrifice the Japanese army's usual despicable method - poison gas bombs again. On this aircraft carrier, in addition to transporting troops. The most important thing is that the aircraft is loaded with more than 1,000 tons of poison gas bombs, which is almost half of the Japanese Southern Army's inventory of more than 1,000 tons of poison gas bombs, and the power of the more than 1,000 tons of poison gas bombs is indeed terrifying, almost comparable to small nuclear bombs, some of which are water-soluble, and some of which are insoluble in water, and they come out together, which is almost the end of the world. The only five minesweepers and one destroyer that the Japanese had in Trincomalee survived.

On the army side, all the 2,000 soldiers who had just disembarked were poisoned, and more than half died. More than 200 Japanese soldiers were poisoned on the docks of the port.

That's not all, the little devils drove nearly 20,000 people in Ceylon, and almost all of them were concentrated at the docks in order to unload their goods, and none of them survived in the end.

To make matters worse, about 20,000 or 30,000 people in Trincomalee were poisoned, both women and children, young and old, and almost all of them died one after another within the next month.

Trincomalee, a small city with a rich military port, became almost a dead city after a month.

In this battle, the naval resistance army won a complete victory. None of the Japanese ships escaped the net, and more than 10,000 people died. Battleships, heavy weapons, ammunition, and warplanes suffered innumerable losses. Since the outbreak of the Pacific War, this battle has been regarded as the first major victory of the Allies in the Indian Ocean.

However, Zheng Xuechang also blamed himself. Zheng Xuechang's self-blame is because he was greedy for merit and did not see through the hole cards of Fu Qi in Dachuan. The objective reason for this, whether it is Zheng Xuechang or Li Guang, no one could have imagined that the Japanese army had such a perverted design of the lightning cruiser. At that time, if the Japanese had even two more cruisers, they would not be an opponent.

Li Guang was also shocked by this, he had heard of missile saturation attacks, but he did not expect that Japan had already invented torpedo saturation attacks in World War II. The little devil is really not to be underestimated.

In the face of such brilliant results and such a rich capture, Li Guang couldn't laugh. It's not that Li Guang harshly reprimanded his generals, but that the heavy damage suffered by the Atlantic had too great an impact on the Naval Resistance Army.

The Atlantic's injury will be delayed for at least three to five months. Now, the Indian Ocean of the Maritime Resistance Force has not yet completed the final outfitting, and the training of pilots also takes time.

That is, during this period of time, the Maritime Resistance Force will have no capital ships.

Originally, the naval strength of the Naval Resistance Force was quite good, at least surpassing the strength of the three major powers in South America. However, after the loss of the capital ship, it immediately fell to the bottom level of the world's navy.

Without capital ships, the strength of the naval resistance forces, especially surface ships, can hardly accomplish any decent combat missions. Even the escort was reluctant.

In post-war articles, the US military often boasted about the defeat in the early stage of the Pacific War: Although the battle was lost tactically, strategically it still won the strategic initiative after consuming the Japanese army's vital forces.

This is purely standing and talking without backache, and the US military has strong industrial strength as the backing, and can continuously build battleships and aircraft carriers. And what about the Naval Resistance Army? It is impossible to build a decent warship, let alone build it, and there is a lack of funds for its purchase. And there is nowhere to buy it.

As the war went on for a long time, Li Guang's in-depth understanding of some issues became more and more profound. For example, later generations relied on the United States' victory in the Pacific War by relying on strong industrial strength.

There is nothing wrong with that. But if we go one step deeper, how many times the cost of the strategy and tactics adopted by the US military is that of Japan in order to win?

According to Li Guang's understanding of the US military and his understanding of the Japanese army, if the US army is only twice as strong as the Japanese army, I am afraid that it will not only fail to defeat the Japanese army, but will also suffer defeat.

The United States has a lot of money, which is really unenviable. In this regard, Li Guang can only be envious, jealous and hateful, gritting his teeth and trying to develop himself.

In the history of World War II, the naval battle commanded by Somerville in March and April is known as the First Battle of Ceylon. This naval battle, which took place at the end of July and the beginning of August, is known as the Second Battle of Ceylon.

This glorious naval battle between the Naval Resistance Army and the Japanese Army ended in a complete victory for the Naval Resistance Army. In this battle, the naval resistance forces completely annihilated the Japanese reinforcement fleet, and the first vice admiral of the Japanese Navy was killed in World War II, which hit the morale of the Japanese army and greatly boosted the fighting spirit of the Allied forces.
