After the general offensive of the Chinese began, the defeat of the US Combined Fleet was decided.

The main fleet of the US army, which had long been very badly damaged, suffered even more heavy losses after the general attack launched by the Chinese carrier-based air group. One battleship after another was sunk, and the entire main fleet could hardly escape the bad luck of destruction.

Whether it is a super capital aircraft carrier with a displacement of 40,000 tons or a large air defense/escort battleship of 20,000 or 30,000 tons, in front of the locust-like Chinese carrier-based bombers, they are taken off layer by layer like the clothes of a beautiful girl, and then, the anti-aircraft fire is pulled out, and then they stand still and are sunk by heavy aerial bombs.

One after another, the warships, burning with raging fires, slowly sank into the sea against the backdrop of Chinese fighter planes flying in the sky. More than 130 US warships, in addition to circling in place, could only carry out anti-aircraft fire in vain.

There is no room for recovery from the situation, even if the Chinese also suffered heavy losses, but the losses of the American fleet are even more heavy and desperate.

After much deliberation, Nimitz returned to the command cabin and summoned some of the ship's senior generals, including Admiral Spruance, deputy commander-in-chief of the U.S. Combined Pacific Fleet.

Nimitz's voice was very flat, and he tried his best to suppress his voice, "General Spruance, I will give you a final order. This order may make you feel very embarrassed, but the American people will never blame you, they will always blame Chester. General Nimitz led their greatest combined fleet to its death.

I authorize you to surrender to the Chinese, the last struggle will not save us from defeat, the Pacific Fleet has already failed, the second echelon cannot save us, they are more likely to be the next to be annihilated.

But these tens of thousands of American soldiers have done their greatest duty.

They fought bravely and were not afraid of the Chinese, but, under the command of a failed commander, they failed.

They don't deserve to die, because they've done their best, and you, General Spruance, will lead them to another end.

I order you to lead the remaining fleet to surrender to the Chinese!

Of course, if you insist on uniting the second echelon to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese, then I support your decision, because you are the new commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet.

However, I hope that you will show the utmost care to these tens of thousands of great and brave soldiers of the United States.

The fleet is gone, it can be rebuilt, and they, who have paid the courage to fight, should not be sent to their deaths, this is my last advice. ”

Ten minutes later, a crisp gunshot rang out.

'Farewell, America.' This sentence is the only sentence in Admiral Nimitz's suicide note.

Twenty minutes later, when it was learned that the Chinese fleet continued to bomb the main fleet while blocking the second-echelon support group, even though it was clear that the Chinese fleet was also at the end of the crossbow and that the Chinese were also on the verge of collapse, Admiral Spruance, who had just taken over as commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet, ordered the fleet to surrender -

"Report! Admiral Spruance, the new commander of the U.S. fleet, led the remaining fleet to announce its surrender on public radio, demanding just treatment of prisoners of war. ”

Soon, a hundred thousand anxious reports were sent to Ge Yunsheng.

"What? The new commander? What about Nimitz? ”

Ge Yunsheng hurriedly asked, although the surrender of the US military was expected by him, and even some of the fighters were preparing to load the aviation horn and persuade the US military to surrender through public radio, but he did not expect the US military to take the lead and could not resist.

"In the cable, the U.S. military declared that Admiral Nimitz had died heroically."

The communications staff officer said immediately.

Ge Yunsheng and Gao Xiaochuan glanced at each other, and they both saw some relief in each other's eyes.

At this time of the war, the losses of the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese fleet also reached a terrifying number, and hundreds of carrier-based aircraft became the battle losses in this large-scale air battle with a total of nearly 4,000 carrier-based aircraft in the continuous sea battle. Although the vast majority of the pilots were able to be rescued by surface speedboats, each of them carried a life jacket and a portable radio transmitter, and once the parachute landed on the surface, they would be rescued in time unless they deviated from the 'big channel' Taiyuan.

Although the loss of these hundreds of aircraft is nothing, as long as the fleet returns home, it will not even take a day to replenish the same hundreds, or even several hundreds of fighters. However, if the Americans stubbornly resist to the end, the losses will inevitably increase, and the subsequent sweeping operations will also be greatly affected.

However, correspondingly, if the US military stubbornly resists to the end, the losses will be even greater, and it is very likely that all of the more than 20,000 US officers and men on more than 100 warships will be sunk into the sea to feed the sharks.

Now is not the era of battleship bombardment, if you can't fight, you can run, and within the range of carrier-based aircraft, how can you escape? What's more, the U.S. military escaped by night and was caught up again at dawn the next day, which made the U.S. military completely desperate.

The so-called second-echelon fleet was originally composed of slow, old-fashioned ships, and the carrier-based aircraft on it were also uneven.

After confirming that China has a considerable number of carrier-based jet fighters, how can the US military dare to risk sending bombers such as B-25 and B-29 to make up the numbers, and the ultra-high combat altitude of the jet fighters is enough to blow up any bomber without escort fighters in the air.

Ge Yunsheng slapped the table and decisively ordered: "Call back in principle to accept the unconditional surrender of the US military." The US military was told three things to know: First, all warships must immediately stop firing and all artillery, including anti-aircraft artillery, must stop firing. Second, the main combatants assembled on deck, and the entire fleet waited for our capture. Thirdly, we will treat our captives preferentially, but in the event of any resistance, we will resolutely sink them. Fourth, it is forbidden to deliberately blow up and sink warships without our permission, and tell them that they are all our trophies. ”

"Stop any armed counterattack, extinguish the fires, rescue warships. Organize the evacuation of officers and men from dangerous warships. The rest gathered on deck, and no one was allowed to blow up and sink the battleship without permission and provoke the Chinese. ”

Radio waves quickly transmitted the orders of the commander-in-chief of the Chinese fleet to Washington, the flagship of the US fleet, and decided to surrender, and after receiving a personal promise from the highest level of the Chinese fleet, Admiral Spruance ordered the implementation of the armistice surrender according to the demands of the Chinese.

As a 40,000-ton supercarrier, although Washington was badly damaged, it only temporarily lost the ability to take off fighters, the fire has been basically extinguished, the anti-aircraft gun emplacements have been completely stopped, and the soldiers are covering their gun jackets.

Like defeated roosters, American officers and soldiers began to rescue the wounded, clear the decks, and assemble.

Everyone knows that the Chinese want the fleet to surrender completely, not to surrender by fraud.

In the smoke of gunpowder, the sea battle, which lasted for more than a day, finally came to an end, and one after another the battleships turned off their power boilers and stopped advancing.

One after another, the warships that had been badly damaged or were sinking had been completely abandoned, and the US fleet, which had been in full swing an hour ago, had now become a sea of small boats. Small boats, hovercraft, are transporting large numbers of wounded and sailors to the surviving warships.

"Failed."

Admiral Spruance looked up at the sky and stopped any counterattack, and the Chinese aircraft began to fly around one battleship after another with impunity, and some even flew quickly in three- or five-plane formations from aircraft carriers and battleships in an ultra-low-altitude victorious attitude.

Underneath them are U.S. officers and soldiers who are busy preparing for surrender.

The whole picture is very visually striking, and the contrast between the decline of the defeated and the glory of the victor is so strong.

Whether it was the wounded officers and soldiers, the busy officers and soldiers, and even the commanders and fighters of the fleet, they were nervously waiting for the arrival of the Chinese.

There is no strong fleet left in the entire Pacific region, and there is no one to come to their rescue except God, waiting for surrender with trepidation, the only way out.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the Chinese fleet finally arrived, and just half an hour ago, the carrier-based aircraft group of the Chinese fleet finally completely destroyed the second wave of support aircraft of the second echelon of the United States, and a group of 100 bombers and 150 carrier-based fighters flew over the main force of the US fleet and rushed towards the second echelon 100 nautical miles away like a swarm of bees. The second echelon of the US fleet, which has already lost more than half of its main aircraft group in two waves of air battles, will also be doomed.

When the antennas of the Chinese fleet were the first to leap above sea level, the first thing Admiral Spruance saw from the telescope was a hideous flying machine, which was not flying fast, but it flew at a low altitude of only a few tens of meters above sea level.

"It's unbelievable that Chinese is equipped with such a practical helicopter!!"

Spruance certainly recognized what it was, there were two similar helicopters on board the USS Washington, but compared to the steel monsters like the Chinese, the American planes on the ship could only be regarded as empty shelves.

About 20 carrier-based helicopters carrying marines and sailors soon came to the skies over the US fleet and occupied them one by one, starting from the periphery.

Since the Washington was the flagship, Admiral Spruance took the initiative to come to the deck the moment he saw the Chinese coming, and stood on the tattered deck with most of the American officers and men.

Two helicopters loaded with Chinese officers and soldiers descended on the Washington, and the American officers and men, who looked strange and demoralized to the extreme, gave way to a wide enough deck and nervously waited for the arrival of the Chinese.

The two helicopters, numbered A99 and B101, finally stopped, after which the cabin door was pulled open and several heavily armed soldiers rushed out of it, and an officer in the uniform of a major in the Wehrmacht Navy was removed from the A99 helicopter.

"On behalf of the Chinese National Defense Forces, I announce to you that you have officially been captured. Now, you will return to your posts, repair your ships, and wait for orders to set sail again. I will be the Chinese commander of this battleship, I hope you know that any resistance will bring the fate of being sunk, you can not cherish your life, but please cherish the life of your comrades, cherish the opportunity of your parents, wife and children to reunite with you in the future! ”

After the Navy Major finished speaking, he just nodded to the translator on the side, and he announced the English order to the American troops.

The same scene was playing out on one battleship after another.

An hour later, after a brief inspection by the Chinese officers, more than 40 of the remaining 130-odd warships were intact, more than 70 were seriously damaged and had lost their combat capability, but they had the ability to continue sailing, and the remaining 20 warships were extremely damaged and had lost the motivation to continue sailing.

"Sink them, this is the deep sea, we will never learn from ourselves, we can't leave a pound of steel and a tael of iron to the Americans, and all sink into the sea as a population reef."

Ge Yunsheng gave this order with a smile.

Immediately, more than 20 torpedo attack planes, carrying one torpedo after another, began to carry out an unprecedented, super-defeated sinking operation.

I saw one torpedo attack plane after another dropping heavy torpedoes at the closest place to each target battleship, and they were quietly hit by torpedoes without paying attention to anti-aircraft fire, and the stationary battleships did not maneuver to evade.

Rumble...... From time to time, twenty extremely damaged battleships were torpedoed into the sea one by one, and the best one was already tilted and sunk.

Near the standard waterline, a large hole about ten meters long was blown up, and the battleship was severely damaged in one fell swoop.

When these broken battleships were slowly sinking, Ge Yunsheng stood on the bridge of the ship, looking at the entire battlefield where the smoke of gunpowder had not yet dissipated, as if he saw the unwilling American sailors on those battleships in the distance.

However, they had no chance, and the entire Chinese fleet had already sent out all the officers and men who could be sent, first to collect weapons, and then to occupy important positions, leaving only the necessary American prisoners of war and combat ships, and the rest were all put in the cabin to be guarded. In order to prevent the US warships from deceiving at night, Ge Yunsheng also ordered the planting of many remote-controlled bombs, and if the few remaining US prisoners of war made any abnormal movements or tried to escape in the night, the Chinese daredevils on board the ship would detonate the bombs.

In short, a huge fleet of still strong troops, carrying the remnants of the surrendered US fleet, returned along the Guam-China route as fast as possible.

While passing through the Hawaiian Islands, the Chinese fleet sent the last large-scale aircraft group of the Pacific naval war, and Pearl Harbor, which lost the carrier-based aircraft force possessed by the mobile fleet, was once again bombed into ruins.

What made the U.S. military on Oahu feel painful was that after the Pearl Harbor incident, the huge secret oil depot that had taken three years to build was actually ignited again by the heavy aerial bombs of the Chinese, and the U.S. military was furious, and then realized that Chinese captured most of the U.S. military fleet, naturally knew very well about the military facilities on Oahu.

As a result, shipyards, ship repair yards, oil depots, barracks, radar stations, air defense positions, and some other important facilities in ports were easily bombed when the Chinese returned to the sea.

Almost at the same time, Ge Yunsheng sent a telegram to the base camp, once again solemnly reporting the good news of the return of the victory, and the entire Pacific naval war, the Chinese part of the Indians' counterattack operation, officially came to an end.

When Zhang Shusheng, the supreme head of the base camp of the republic and chairman of the Supreme Power Committee, received the last telegram, he personally signed an order to inform the whole country of this great news in a timely manner.

The media, large and small, across the country, went crazy, toppling all the magazines that had already been drafted, and urgently issued the good news of a great victory.

A number of leading national and party newspapers, including Huaxia Daily, reported on the victory of the great naval battle on the front page.

Although there is no exact picture data for the time being, the detailed written information, front-line battle reports, and the initial huge results still ignited the hearts of every Chinese people for the first time.

Even in the middle of nowhere, people can sit around the radio and listen to special broadcasts.

The Navy won the battle, the Navy defeated the Americans.

This is great news, even in the most remote villages, except for the villages, almost no one knows where the United States is and what the word "America" means, but they are still enthusiastic.

On the same day, Zhang Shusheng delivered a radio speech with a national surname.

“…… When I received the good news of this great victory, I could not suppress my feelings.

A hundred years ago, our shame came from the sea, and a hundred years later, our glory has also risen from the sea...... With this victory, we declare to the enemies of the world that we are no longer poor and weak world naval cowards, but a naval power that can go to war with any enemy of the world............ The efforts of the Navy have proved to us that they have not wasted the country's financial and material resources, and that we have built so many aircraft carriers, so many cruisers, so many warships of all kinds, and invested so much, for what? Isn't it for today's victory, and for the sake of competing for the position of hegemon on the world ocean stage......"

Unlike the Chinese who celebrated their victory, Americans fell into a collective silence, followed by large demonstrations across the country.

All of them were shouting hoarsely for the political axe to take responsibility for the defeat.

President Roosevelt delivered a public address in the Grand Plaza in front of the White House, apologizing to the people of the United States in the most serious terms for the defeat of the Pacific Fleet.

The demonstrations continued, with demands for President Roosevelt's political reform and serious punishment for a number of senior Navy officials, including the Secretary of the Navy, erupted in several states.

Subsequently, President Roosevelt announced the dismissal of a number of senior US officials, including the Secretary of the Navy, and conducted the first step of an investigation into some officials suspected of obstructing the development of the Navy and responsible for the defeat.

At the same time, President Roosevelt announced that he would start a larger war with China and that he would concentrate the forces of the United States to reshape the Pacific Fleet in the shortest possible time and with the most resolute force.

In an instant, the American crowd was excited, and under the leadership of the political axe, the United States' manufacturing capacity accelerated again, and one huge manufacturing plan, especially the carrier-based aircraft manufacturing plan, the warship production plan, the missile research and development plan, and many other major military scientific research and production plans, were put on the agenda, and the specific content can even be called crazy.

A month and a half later, the captured U.S. fleet of the Chinese Pacific Fleet finally arrived at the Shanghai Naval Port after a temporary supply from Guam.

On that day, the entire military port was crowded with people.

People looked at the warships flying the white flags, drifting on the sea, near the harbor, and watched the thousands of US Navy officers and men being escorted off the ships, and what awaited them would be the thankful labor of the prisoner of war camps.

Ge Yunsheng gave an impromptu speech at the military port, and one sentence was taken as the headline of many newspapers: "We brought back a large amount of war trophies, and did not leave the Americans with a pound of steel or a tael of iron." ”
