The Yamato was now swaying in the violent bomb explosion, like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any moment. The sailors of the Rì Army on the ship were constantly trying to adjust and restore the Yamato.

At the same time, a large number of mechanics were repairing the bombed-out area, but in fact, they already knew in their hearts that the Yamato was in danger this time.

The bombs rained down wildly and violently, and the battleship was blazing in all directions. Although the rì army tried every means to try to stop the loss, it did not do much. The Yamato was constantly decelerating, and the angle of inclination was increasing......

Yukisaku Ariga, with red eyes, stared at the sea on the Yamato, which was constantly on fire, because on this surface the fleet with black spots could already be seen with the naked eye.

Even without binoculars, Yukisaku Ariga knew with great certainty that this was the combined fleet of the Wehrmacht Navy. Quite simply, there will be no other ships that will be able to get from Fukuoka.

Therefore, even if you can't see it clearly, Yukasaku Ariga is extremely sure that this is a combined fleet under the Wehrmacht Navy.

"Boost the horsepower! Kill them! Yuki Ariga roared hoarsely: "Even if it is going to be sunk, at least we will let our battleship sink on the way to attack!" ”

"Onboard!!" A beastly cry sounded, and the soldiers of the Rì Army on the Yamato began to increase their horsepower desperately. They also saw that in the distance was the Wehrmacht fleet!

Kosaku Ariga saw the fleet of the Wehrmacht, and Chen Shaokuan, who was on the carrier ship, also saw the Yamato and the Fourth Destroyer Fleet. Even, Chen Shaokuan, who was behind the Fourth Destroyer Fleet, saw it.

The fleet of the Rì Army had apparently spotted them as well, and although they hadn't seen it, Chen Shaokuan was sure that the Yamato was desperately rushing towards him. They will use the last of their strength to try to fire a cannonball at their own fleet before they sink themselves.

Even if it's just a shell, even if the shell misses. And they'll do the same.

"Even if we are defeated, even if we are sunk. I also hope that we can at least fire a shell at the enemy of our battleship, even if it is a ......"

Staring at the Wehrmacht's fleet, Yukasaku Ariga muttered, "Attack!" This may be the last glory of the Yamato, so let's move forward! Let's at least live up to the steel resources that made the Yamato......"

"Chirp...... Rumble!! "As the speed slowed down, the huge Yamato was the perfect target. A heavy rocket-booster bomb hit its left side directly.

The violent explosion caused the entire battleship to tremble, and then a huge hole was torn open in the Yamato, which was visible to the naked eye. The sea is pouring frantically into the battleship......

"Report! The left side of the ship suffered a violent explosion, and the angle of inclination of the side is increasing! The speed has been reduced to 10 knots! The mechanic said that there was nothing that could be done about it, and gave advice to abandon the ship......"

When the report came, Yukisaku Ariga slammed his fist on the windowsill of the side of the ship without saying a word.

It was already clear that the Yamato could no longer move within range of striking the Wehrmacht's combined fleet. As things stand, they may not have waited to attack the Combined Fleet before they sink on their own......

"Command! Keep moving! After Yukasaku Ariga was silent for a while, a roar resounded throughout the battleship, "In the direction of the enemy, the main gun fired shè shells!! ”

And then ...... We abandon the ship......" Yukasaku Ariga finally made this decision, which was painful. But it's also important.

The soldiers of the Navy are more valuable than the warships of the Navy. The enormous resources spent on the training of soldiers and officers with extensive experience in naval warfare are incalculable.

Although, Yuga Yusaku also knew in his heart that after this war, I am afraid that there would be no more navy. But he still held out a one-in-10,000 hope that he would be able to leave some seeds for the Rìben Navy......

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble!! ......" The three 94-type 45-caliber 46-centimeter 3 turrets on the Yamato exploded violently, and the air torn by the shells flew towards the battleship in the distance.

However, its owner knew that it would not be able to reach the target it had set for it in any case. This shelling was only an unwilling roar for its sinking......

Far away, the shells did not hit any Wehrmacht ships. Not even a threat, it exploded in the sea area in front of the Wehrmacht fleet.

A 46-centimeter shell set off a shocking wave on the sea! The huge waves that were set off and crashed against the Wehrmacht warships were perhaps the only effect of the Yamato on the Wehrmacht fleet......

"Boom!!" A bomb landed on the Yamato, and the violent explosion made the ship, which was about to sink, even worse. The soldiers of the Rì Army, who were preparing the escape boats, were overturned by the explosion.

Screams, blazing explosions, reverberated across the battleship. Yukisaku Ariga finally got on the escape boat, when the escape boat was released to the surface.

He glanced bitterly at the pride of this once rì navy, it was once so powerful, it was so huge. It even used to be rì the confidence of the Navy.

The navy has insisted that it will be a sharp weapon for destroying the enemy at sea. All the warships in front of it will be vulnerable.

However, here it is now. The once proud of the navy is as shattered as the empire that made it. Explosions rang out on the ship, and seawater poured into the battleship.

The battleship was slowly sinking towards the bottom of the sea, and the soldiers of the Rì Army were constantly trying to rescue their comrades who were still struggling in the water......

The Yamato is finished, and the other four cruisers are already finished. Ariga Yusaku didn't care about the four cruisers around him before.

And when he began to observe now, he realized that the Fourth Cruiser Fleet he led had already existed in name only. Of the four battleships, he saw only three.

Moreover, two of them are already laying down their escape boats. The last one, with explosions and fireworks, kept coming out. Obviously, it didn't last long.

The rì is finished, and the once incomparably brilliant rì navy is over. Yuga Yusaku closed his eyes in pain, and couldn't bear to look at it anymore......

"Our Navy...... Finished. Yamamoto Fifty-six said this sentence very directly, and he seemed to be very bland when he said it. It's like eating and drinking.

There are very few fighters left in the area of the war. Almost all the fighters on the eight aircraft carriers were lost. The fighters, which were originally on standby to carry out the bombing, also unloaded their bombs and took off from the aircraft carrier with cannon shells and machine gun ammunition to make a final effort for the fleet.

At this time, a large number of Wehrmacht carrier-based aircraft formations had also taken shape and rushed to the battlefield. Here, the two sides will do the final fight. The victor will become the hegemon of the Indian Ocean and even the Western Pacific.

And the vanquished, then they will not be able to restore their combat effectiveness for a long time. As a result, the navy has since been in a state of collapse.

The sound of "tom tom tom ......" machine guns rang out in the sky, and the naval air force of the Rì Army was fighting desperately. However, this attack has little to no effect.

They did shoot down some of the Wehrmacht naval aircraft, but their own losses were enormous. In less than half an hour after liftoff, more than a dozen warplanes had already been shot down. And the shot down they accomplished was only three.

The practice of several landing operations of the Wehrmacht Navy has brought them rich experience. And the pilots of these carrier-based aircraft fighters are all former Air Force Jīng Rui.

Under such circumstances, it is conceivable that the two armies encountered the rì army. Although the Rì Army had been desperately trying to maintain its own formations and tried to strangle the Wehrmacht's carrier-based aircraft.

But the Wehrmacht Air Force formations, which were constantly rushing towards the battlefield, always suppressed them to the death.

"No matter what the price I pay, Fukuoka's RÌ fighter planes must not be driven to the sea! What the?! They have another batch of fighters?! Then we'll take it straight into the air! Knock them out! ”

Chen Haihua roared in his headquarters, which was a rare high-intensity operation since the establishment of the Wehrmacht Air Force. The Air Force needed to deal with both attacks from Fukuoka and the Combined Fleet of Rìmoto, which had already sailed into the Fukuoka Inland Sea.

They need to pay a huge price to stop the Rìmoto Army Air Force in Fukuoka first. Subsequently, it was necessary to support the navy to completely destroy the combined fleet.

"Fighter jets are still there! Send it out, even if it's a cadet soldier! All I have to hear is two words: victory! I don't need to hear the rest, and I don't want to hear it! ”

Chen Haihua shouted into the phone in his command headquarters: "When the pilots run out, you will drive the fighter plane up and continue to fight!" When you run out, Lao Tzu will take the entire command center on the plane and continue to fight! ”

"Even if we are all defeated, we must guarantee victory! Got it?! I want victory!! Chen Haihua roared angrily into the phone, and then hung up with a snap.

Although he expected that this battle would be extremely difficult, Chen Haihua did not expect that it would be so difficult. forced even him to give such an order, and this was the first time since the formation of the Wehrmacht Air Force.

"Boom!!" Finally, the Rì Army found an opportunity. Their fighters dropped a bomb on the deck of the battleship Dadonggou of the Wehrmacht Combined Fleet.

The violent explosion quickly caused the fire, and the stop loss and machine repair quickly launched the fire extinguishing and adjustment. The Wehrmacht Navy's escort fleets, such as battleships and cruisers, had already rushed towards the Combined Fleet.

The value of their existence is to prevent any of the Rì warships from approaching the aircraft carriers of the Wehrmacht Navy. These three aircraft carriers are the lifeblood of the Wehrmacht Navy. They can't afford to have any problems.

"Hold on! Our fighters are ** them, and we now have to make sure that their battleships can't touch our carriers! On the Dadonggou, the captain of the ship, Admiral Chai Ye, pinched the railing on the side of the ship and roared.

"Onward! As soon as you enter the shè strike zone, fire your guns! Chai Ye's eyes were already red, and he stared at the fleet of the Rì Army that was getting closer and closer.

I didn't dare to move my eyes easily. The aircraft carrier formation was left behind itself. They were hard to reach even the battleships of the Rì Army.

"Full speed ahead! Even if we fail, we will at least inflict heavy damage on their fleet! Yamamoto fifty-six waved his hand and said, "This ...... Maybe it's the last thing we can do for this empire......"

The war at sea is going on like crazy, and the war on land in Fukuoka is not too much to promise. Four and six divisions of the Rì Army had arrived at the Fukuoka position.

As the number of Wehrmacht troops increased, Fukuoka's strength reached 250,000. The Rì Army, which had more troops, chose to try to bypass Fukuoka and attack the rear positions in order to cut off the support of the Wehrmacht.

But the Marines in the rear reacted quickly, and they quickly set up positions to resist the attack of the Rì Army. At this time, the navy and air force could no longer provide them with much support.

They can only rely on themselves to deal with the rì army that is constantly culling.

At this time, the most powerful of the "Tutu Tu ......" positions were the twin 14.5mm caliber high-shè machine guns that were delivered. This machine gun was originally intended for use in the defense of military aircraft.

Later, under the guidance of Tu Mengben, this weapon became a defensive weapon of the Wehrmacht. As a result, it was mass-produced and equipped to various units at the same time.

In order to make it easy for the troops to carry around, the National Defense Forces Research Institute converted the land version into a detachable and transportable weapon and equipment. Tu Mengben and Su Zongzhe, who expected that the Wehrmacht might be trapped, transported this kind of weapons and equipment to Fukuoka.

Under the ultra-long shè and strong penetrating power of the "Tutu Tu ......", the bunkers of the rì army have become decorations. Small dirt slopes, which are directly penetrated.

Tree?! It will be directly torn apart by this large-caliber high-caliber machine gun, and the rì army hiding behind the tree will be directly beaten into clumps of flesh and blood by this large-caliber bullet.

The Rì Army had tried to use artillery to knock out these Wehrmacht machine gun positions, but each time they thought they had knocked out the Wehrmacht machine gun positions, they were again confronted with this terrifying large-caliber machine gun.

And the only artillery they had was also killed by retaliatory artillery fire from the Wehrmacht machine guns in the position.

"This is the key point, no matter what the cost, we must take down their landing zone! As long as they are knocked down, they will become turtles in an urn! Let us slaughter! "Hideki Tojo left the bomb shelter and came to this battlefield.

He believes that this place is more important than Fukuoka. The Wehrmacht Navy's fleet had already gone to fight Yamamoto Isoroku, and the Wehrmacht's air force was entangled in the Army Air Corps and could not get out. Their large army is entangled in Fukuoka Castle and can't get out.

And this time was undoubtedly the weakest time for the landing zone of the landing force of the Wehrmacht. If you don't take advantage of the landing zone, then there will be no such opportunity in the future!

"Your Excellency, Commander! Our losses are so great now that only half of the offensive is lost in one wing. If we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid we'll be exhausted before we can finish here......"

"If you run out, you have to fight!" Hideki Tojo was also ruthless at this time, he looked at the division commander coldly and said, "You saw the situation in Fukuoka." Do you think we don't have to fill in people there?! ”

"So far, we have lost more than a division in Fukuoka! You know what?! Hideki Tojo was almost talking to the division commander with a roar.

"Even, we have a large number of death squads. Only then will we be able to hold back the offensive of these Wehrmacht. Do you think that if we continue to fight like this, we won't lose much?! ”

Lieutenant General Sadachi Suzuki, commander of the 143rd Division, is one of the pen bearers of the legendary "Tanaka Sozuri". He was now present in Fukuoka and was in charge of attacking the Wehrmacht's landing positions under Hideki Tojo.

The 143rd Division was not a simple division, it was one of the 16 coastal divisions that were specially set up to resist the landing after the loss of Southeast Asia.

After the war had gradually become clear, the Rì side was not willing to be defeated. After Southeast Asia, the base camp began to secretly plan the so-called "Battle Finale".

The main content of this battle plan is to continuously expand the army to achieve the goal of resisting landings and local operations. According to this battle plan, Rì would have concentrated 53 divisions, 22 mixed brigades, 2 tank divisions, 7 tank brigades, and 4 high-artillery divisions on the mainland, in order to achieve more than 2.25 million troops in the army.

At that time, 28 million men between the ages of 15 and 60 and women between the ages of 17 and 45 were organized into the "National Volunteer Combat Team", and all members participated in the offensive plan known as the "100 million total special attack".

Unfortunately, this plan is difficult to implement and implement. Due to the severe lack of resources, there was no way to manufacture guns and ammunition on a large scale.

Many of the old weapons were taken out and refurbished and delivered to the newly formed units. These weapons even have Meiji periods.

However, the newly set up regular divisions and regiments are still well equipped with weapons. Although it did not have a complete artillery force, it was at least much better than the "National Volunteer Combat Team", which had to be used for weapons in the Meiji period.

But the combat effectiveness of such a unit can be imagined. They could not be compared to the army in their heyday, when they were more forced to be drafted.

Training is limited, but combat demands are so high. Therefore, the results of the battle can be imagined. These divisions, which arrived in Fukuoka first, can be regarded as the most capable of fighting among them.

The rest of the divisions are very low......

"Attack! Attack around the clock! Hideki Tojo gave a simple and crisp order: "We can only threaten those Wehrmacht troops in Fukuoka Castle if we defeat this place now." ”

"Otherwise, as long as they get enough support, we will have to take the emperor's life and fill it in!" Hideki Tojo took a deep breath and said, "Fill in to the end...... What we get may still be a failure......"

"However, if we seize this landing zone, we may be able to encircle and annihilate the Wehrmacht forces in Fukuoka Castle. And this. It's our only chance......"
