Chapter 561: Hirohito's Sorrow

"Doodoo"

The red siren lights inside the submarine are flashing constantly, warning everyone that the submarine is now in danger and must get out of the battlefield as soon as possible.

"Put away the periscope and dive urgently, reversing at a depth of thirty meters at full speed" In the command cabin, Long Yu was calmly giving orders.

"Report, the sound of high-speed propellers on the surface of the sea has been detected, and it has been analyzed that it is a small frigate, and they are heading towards our area at high speed." The sonar's hurried voice rang out in the command room.

"Turn around and turn and continue to dive, get out of the battlefield at full speed, prepare the torpedo at the tail, and set the depth to zero" Long Yu didn't seem to hear the sonar's alarm, but still gave the order unhurriedly.

Four small frigates of several hundred tons had rushed out of the dock, and several 100-millimeter naval guns on the frigates were constantly pouring shells into the sea. When the four frigates came to the estimated sea surface, the tail of the frigate was like a hen laying eggs, desperately dropping barrel-shaped depth charges, and a dull sound came from the bottom of the sea.

Since several frigates did not catch the traces of submarines, they could only release depth charges into the water aimlessly, which did not have a major impact on several submarines underwater, but only blew up the fish on the bottom of the sea one after another.

Just as these frigates were exploding vigorously, there was a low roar in the sky, and a group of black dots appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"Hurry up, the planes of the people of China, hurry up the air defense, air defense"

Just then, carrier-based aircraft taking off from the aircraft carriers of the Pacific Fleet arrived.

The captain of the frigate shouted loudly to the sailors to pay attention to the air defense, just as the sailors hurriedly set up the ship's 20-millimeter machine guns to shoot in the air. Several warhawks falling from the sky flickered under the wings, bursts of machine guns rang out, and several Japanese soldiers who were carrying ammunition fell to the deck screaming, their bodies were full of bowl-sized holes, and blood splashed everywhere on the ship's side and deck, which was the masterpiece of the F6F "Hellcat".

Several "Hellcats" flew away after two rounds of dive strafing, followed by several more "dreadnought" dive bombers, and with a swing of their wings, several bombs fell on the frigate.

There was a "boom" sound, accompanied by several huge water columns, and the two frigates were blown to pieces by high-explosive bombs, and the remaining two frigates were so frightened that they quickly turned around and fled in the direction of the port.

At this time, the commander of the Sakhalin garrison and the commander of the 155th Brigade, Major General Sasaki, was also awakened from his sleep by the sound of a loud explosion. Sasaki, who hurriedly got dressed and grabbed the command knife in his hand, rushed out of the room, and saw a scene that he could never forget for the rest of his life, above his head, hundreds of warplanes hovered over the dock, and from time to time more than a dozen warplanes pounced down, and the bombs rained down on the cargo ships moored at the dock and the few remaining air defense positions, blowing up the unprepared Japanese troops everywhere, and the shining blue sky and white sun and red flags on the fuselage shone Sasaki's eyes narrowed.

"Bastard, come here," Major General Sasaki grabbed an officer who was running in front of him and shouted, "You go to the airport immediately, let them take off quickly to meet the Shina plane, and then let the Shina people bomb our port is over"

"Hey" This Shaozo bowed his head and hurriedly ran away, but before he ran two hundred meters, he was targeted by a "Hellcat" fighter plane that just dived down, and a flash of fire flashed This unlucky Shaozo was beaten in two by a large-caliber machine gun before he even let out a scream.

"These bastards" looked at the rampant planes in the sky, Sasaki gritted his teeth and grabbed the collar of a passing officer and shouted in a low voice: "You immediately run to the airport and order all the fighters to take off and take off to meet the enemy, understand?" We must not allow the planes of the Chinese to run rampant like this."

"Your Excellency Commander, it's too late," the officer pointed in the direction of the airport with a sad face, "Just now I wanted to send someone to inform the airport and let them quickly take off the fighter plane to meet the enemy, but the Chinese man's plane had already rushed there one step ahead of us." ”

As soon as the officer's words fell, there was another roar and machine-gun fire in the distance, and Sasaki didn't need to look to know that it was from the direction of the airport. He knew that the more than 60 planes that were stationed at the airport would never be able to fly.

"Hurry up and report to the base camp, let's just say that Sakhalin Island was attacked by submarines and planes of the Chinese people, and now all the destroyers have been sunk and the airfield has been destroyed, Sasaki is determined to lead the whole brigade to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor until the last person, His Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Army of Japan."

After reading the draft of the telegram and hurriedly signing his name, Sasaki, who was desolate in his heart, knew that since the opponent's carrier-based aircraft had appeared, the large fleet of the people of China would soon swarm in, and a single brigade of his own would not be able to resist the large-scale joint attack of the enemy's land, sea, and air forces under any circumstances. Maybe it's the fate of a soldier for His Majesty the Emperor.

The autumn breeze blows and the maple leaves fall from the trees, and the yellow, orange and orange leaves render the ground beautiful, but in the eyes of Hirohito, the emperor of Japan, there is a solemn atmosphere. The guards had just hurriedly handed over an urgent telegram, and looking at the few lines on the telegram, Hirohito's hands and feet began to freeze.

Sakhalin was attacked by the Chinese, three destroyers and all surface ships were destroyed, all the planes on the island were blown up on the runway, and the Japanese defenders on the island suffered heavy casualties. Major General Sasaki, commander of the 155th Brigade, had already sent a farewell telegram, claiming that he would definitely live and die with Sakhalin.

Hirohito slowly crumpled the telegram in his hand, and then a voice came out from between his teeth that came out of the eternal ice: "The people of China are those despicable people again, those people who can only sneak attack"

Hirohito felt that he had never hated a country as much as he did now, that country, which three or four years ago was like a beggar who was bullied on the streets, was now able to push the empire to the ground. Ha, this world is amazing.

Hirohito now finally knew that the attention of the opposite country to attack Sakhalin Island had not been a day or two, and they put on a posture of a decisive battle with the combined fleet of the empire, and on the other hand, they secretly gathered the forces of the Pacific Fleet to prepare for a sneak attack on Sakhalin, and the 30 million US dollars was just a pretense, because everyone on both sides of China and Japan knew that the Japanese government would not compensate even a penny to the Chinese government under any circumstances.

"Your Majesty, Prince Zaihito of the Imperial Palace and a group of ministers are asking to see you," a palace maid quietly walked to Hirohito's side and said softly.

Hirohito didn't move, Mu Ran's expression didn't change, and he slowly turned his head when he knew that the palace maid reminded him for the second time, and found that all the civil and military ministers led by Prince Zaihito of the Idle Yuan Palace were kneeling on the ground and saluting themselves.

"Your Majesty, you have to take care of your health, your body is related to the safety of the empire, you must take care," Prince Zairen said with tears in his eyes as he kowtowed.

"Alas," Hirohito said with a desolate breath: "Zhuqing, I have been conscientious since I succeeded to the throne, and I have been working hard for the great cause of the emperor, but why is everything not going well? First the imperial army was driven out of the mainland by the Chinese people, then from Korea, and now even Sakhalin Island, which the emperor left to the empire, will be taken away by the Chinese people, who can tell me why this is?"

"The ministers are afraid that the ministers are incompetent" A group of important ministers who had just raised their bodies fell down again, and they were all ashamed beyond words.

"Your Majesty, the plan for now is to send troops to reinforce Sakhalin as soon as possible, and our Sakhalin must not be lost again." Itachi Seishiro stepped forward and suggested loudly.

"Reinforcements? May I ask Ban Hengjun, how do we need reinforcements? The East China Sea Fleet of the Chinese people is still eyeing Jeju Island, and I am sure that once the main force of our combined fleet leaves, their East China Sea Fleet will immediately pounce on them, and when the time comes, they will bombard Nagasaki, what will we do? As soon as Itahima Seishiro's words fell, Admiral Yamamoto, commander of the Combined Fleet, retorted.

"Hmph, I didn't say that I would use the main forces of the Combined Fleet to reinforce it, haven't our battleships Yamato and the new "Akagi" aircraft carriers been launched for several months? We can send two aircraft carriers, "Chicheng" and "Kaga", as well as the super battleship "Yamato" to reinforce Sakhalin. Itachi Seishiro said coldly.

"Ha, it's really funny, when did Ban Hengjun become an expert in naval warfare? Why don't you take off your army uniform and change into our navy uniform," Suzuki said coldly and sarcastically.

"Yaga, you, the bastard son of the Kawasaki family, what qualifications do you have to sarcastically mock me" Itasun Seishiro scolded angrily.

"Bastard, you dolphin-looking guy dares to laugh at me, I'm going to duel with you" Suzuki jumped up like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail.

Suzuki hadn't worn a command knife since he took up his civilian position, and in a hurry, he pulled out the saber of Yamamoto Fifty-six next to him and rushed to Ita Heng Seisishiro. But he was hugged tightly by the quick-eyed Yamamoto Fifty-six.

Itachi Seishiro on the other side saw Suzuki rushing over and also pulled out his saber and prepared to fight, but was pulled by a group of war ministers.

"Suzuki-kun, don't be impulsive, this is in front of His Majesty the Emperor, don't be rude," Yamamoto Fifty-six whispered in Suzuki's ear.

Hirohito watched as the men and horses of the navy and the army were staring at each other, and it was estimated that if he hadn't been there, they would have staged an all-out military parade a long time ago.

"Let's go, let's go" Hirohito, disheartened, waved his sleeves and walked towards his bedroom, ignoring these aggressive courtiers again
