The commander of the Japanese army in the port, Ritsu Kawagami, felt that even if he could not fight a classic battle like the port defense battle of the Battle of Songhu, he could still do it if he was stuck by the Wehrmacht for a while.

But when he was full of confidence to meet the Wehrmacht, what he was waiting for was artillery fire from the artillery units of the three major military regions. More than 100 guns of caliber or above were directly bombarded towards the port.

The Japanese fortifications in the harbor were shattered by the bombardment of these large-caliber heavy guns, which were bombarded for half an hour, followed by a cluster charge of tanks.

More than 30 tanks of a regiment ran over the position directly, and the position had already been broken away before Kawakami Ritsudasa could reflect from the shelling. The tank cluster rushed up, and the infantry behind naturally did not go too far.

The battle, which Ritsu Kawagami thought would last at least three hours, ended in less than an hour. The port garrison of several thousand people was annihilated, and Ritsudasa Kawagami was directly hit by a tank's caliber artillery, and even the command knife was blown away.

There was no suspense, and the Wehrmacht took the position with less than 300 casualties. The Wehrmacht soldiers, who had entered the positions one after another, began to prepare to receive the Japanese flotilla and prisoners of war who had been driven back from the sea according to the orders of the enemy's former commander-in-chief, Tu Sangun.

"Don't fight, don't kill. How nice those ships are, they can also transport supplies for us. If it's going to be broken, we have to build it. It's all money! "As a veteran with a beard, Pao Ye attaches great importance to saving money.

A loud kiln smashed down, and you can't get back that fart beard with the bullet money you threw out?!

"Don't mess with them. What a coolie! Our railways and highways are still waiting for them to build. Wouldn't killing one be one less coolie?! In Tibetan areas, it is difficult for people to go up and breathe. I am reluctant to let our engineers and ordinary people suffer. How nice these guys are! Even if we die somewhere, we're not distressed, are we?! ”

The Wehrmacht soldiers agreed with the opinion of their own commander-in-chief, Daddy. Come on! Soldiers of the National Defense Forces who have been to Tibet and Gansu know how remote and difficult it is.

Let your brothers suffer, and no one will bear it! If he wasn't forced to do it, he didn't want his comrades to go to such a difficult place to play for their lives. It's good now. There was such a group of coolies who were sent alive in front of him.

"Besides, we have a lot of iron ore now, but we don't have many manpower! You have all come out to fight, and you are all in business, farming, and in factories...... Not many of them went to the mines. We have to ask someone to open the mine, it's dangerous in the mine. Who is going to go if these gangs don't go?! ”

"We still have so many good lands in the Northeast! Isn't it a waste not to plow?! Our Yellow River embankment and our Shu Road, these should all be repaired, right?! It's so easy to come here so many coolies who are not afraid of exhaustion, aren't we losing if you kill us now?! ”

How plausible! Everyone's hearts were bright, and their eyes were better when they looked at those prisoners of war. Make us cows and horses, and go to the bitter cold land for us to die and work tiringly, this is all counting on these people. Don't hit, don't scold. It's better to let a few more survive to the place. That's what we're thinking about now.

Those prisoners of war of the Imperial Allied Army in Southeast Asia do not know their fate now. In their opinion, it would be nice to be able to survive. As long as you can get out of those battlefields where shrapnel is flying everywhere and flesh and bones are all over the ground, it doesn't matter where you go or what you do.

"Chirp...... Rumble!! "A huge splash exploded on the side of the Hiei high-speed battleship of the First Air Fleet Support Force of the Combined Fleet, and the huge impact caused the Hiei to sway left and right and continue to rise and fall on the waves.

"Steady! Anti-aircraft fire is on full swing! Damage management, check if the battleship is normal......" Captain Takasaku Abe of the Hiei high-speed battleship ordered loudly. The battleship was bleak and busy.

"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! The bombers in the sky seemed to know that the Japanese warships on the sea were about to leave the combat radius of the fighters, and a series of bombing continued to be carried out on the side of the Hiei.......

The aircraft carrier was protected by a large number of destroyers, and the warhawks of the Kunpeng bombers in the sky hesitated for a long time and finally chose a battleship with relatively weak defense. This time, only 12 bombers came, and they only carried so many "mace" types, which should not be wasted at will.

And the Hiei, which was an old Kongo-class battleship. Because its warships are old, their air defense capabilities are relatively weak, and the escort is not as tight as other ships, it naturally becomes the first choice for warhawks to attack.

"Boom!!" When the fifth "Gong" was dropped, the good fortune of the Hiei was finally over. A "mace" slammed into the deck of the Hiei's high-speed battleship.

A huge explosion sounded on the sea, and the entire Hiei was shocked by the huge impact of the explosion, and the navy under the ship was cut a huge wave.

The huge penetrating force of the "mace" directly made it rush into the battleship in one go. before it exploded. The entire deck of the Hiei was torn apart, and the huge explosion directly detonated the ship's ammunition depot, causing an even more violent explosion.

The fire of the "Boom ......" directly engulfed the battleship, and the bottom of the ship was hit by the exploding shells and the seawater began to pour into the battleship. One of the boilers was already flooded, and the speed of the Hiei was reduced from 27 knots to 20 knots at once.

Just one "mace" almost sank the Hiei. Although now the Hiei is still holding on. But Yamagenoroku on the flagship had only reached the end of the Hiei.

“…… 3 boilers were not serviceable and the rudder could not be repaired after inspection...... Leaning 15 degrees to the right, the rear is also flooded...... "The news received by Takasashi Abe is becoming more and more desperate.

Despite the all-out repairs, the ship's condition is getting worse and worse. The Hiei was forced to reduce its speed. Now it has become a target for the warhawks. Because his speed has taken him out of the protection of the fleet.

"Chirp...... Rumble!! "Another mace hit the Hiei, and the Hiei, which was hit by the second mace, was completely out of the question.

The Hiei's superstructure was almost completely destroyed in this blast. Takasashi Abe and a large number of command staff were killed on the spot.

The entire engine room of the Hiei was completely destroyed, the mechanical room was completely destroyed, and the Hiei, which had lost its command, received a flag from a neighboring ship at this time: abandon the ship.

"Boom!!" By the time the explosion sounded again, the Hiei had already invaded most of it. It was slowly sinking towards the bottom of the sea, and the sailors on the ship boarded the lifeboat and left the ship in a panic.

And Wei Lihui, the captain of the Kunpeng Type 1 Bomber Brigade, knew that if he continued to chase after him, he would have to get out of the combat radius of the fighters. When the time comes, once it encounters the Japanese fighters. Or those fighters on aircraft carriers take off and they definitely don't like anything.

"Withdraw! All Kunpeng, return immediately. Although Wei Lihui, who only sank one battleship, even regretted it, he had to choose to sail back.

As soon as the order was given, a lament came from all the fighters. Then the formation of formations left the Japanese fleet below.

Watching the fighter planes in the sky leave, there was no trace of joy on Shan Fifty-six's face. He slowly lowered his binoculars and remained silent. The other party is obviously very restrained, and what they are restrained from is their own desire to win.

Soldiers need to take risks, but soldiers need to be cautious. A commander who does not know how to be cautious and pursues adventure is more likely to lead his troops to death.

If you are cautious, you may lose a fighter, but if you are not careful, you will probably lose yourself and your troops. A measure of caution and risk-taking. A test for every commander.

Obviously, the commander of the air force on the other side has a very good grasp of this degree. As soon as they arrived in the operational airspace, they knew that the fleet was about to sail out of the combat radius of the fighters.

It was they who, at the risk of intensive anti-aircraft fire, at great risk of being shot down, began to bomb the fleet's battleships one after another. But after a victory, the commander was not carried away by his own success.

Rather, he calmly sensed that the fleet was about to sail out of the combat radius of those fighters. Instead of taking the risk, he chose to evacuate immediately. In fact, if these bombers dared to stay, Yama Fifty-Six would not hesitate to choose to let all his fighters take off and shoot them down.

But the bombers chose to retreat, and the mountains could only watch them leave. With more than 100 fighters escorting them in the airspace not far away, the mountain would not risk his fighters to their deaths.

"Bring the survivors of the Hiei to life, and the anti-aircraft fire stops. Again smoke was emitted, and all fighters were ready. As soon as the smoke cleared, the escort ...... began to take off."

Yama Fifty-Six lit the table. Again, a flurry of orders was given. Then he entered the office alone and told everyone not to come and disturb them unless they had anything important.

"Ziheng, do you think we won or lost this fight with Shan?!" In Chen Haihua's office. The Air Force commander looked at his beloved general with a smile.

"We're losing. The loss is completely ......," Gao Zhihang smiled bitterly. From the very beginning, the Air Force had all the advantages in this operation.

But even so, they still had no way to defeat the Combined Fleet. Their result was only one battleship and about 200 Japanese fighters.

Although it seemed that the results of the battle were great, the combined fleet withdrew in an orderly manner and without hurry. Broke through the blockade of the Air Force in one breath. Although they were forced to abandon their escort fleet, they themselves were only scratching the surface.

The Hiei was nothing more than an old-fashioned battleship. Not even a dreadnought battleship. Even if it's modified, it's outdated. The loss of one was no loss to the combined fleet.

Although the loss of 200 carrier-based aircraft is somewhat large, the Navy is also in the right time to change its equipment. Those old Type 97 carrier-based aircraft are outdated, and the new Type Zero and Type 1 carrier-based fighters will be the main force in future naval operations.

The loss of those pilots is a pity. However, with the huge training resources of aviation schools, a large number of pilots can be trained again very quickly, and as long as they have experienced several actual battles, they will become qualified carrier-based fighter pilots.

Yes, carefully calculated, the Air Force this time almost went out with all its might, but in fact the losses caused to the combined fleet were not large. Gao Zhihang said that he lost, but he was also convinced.

It's like you've taken out your axe and are ready to kill your enemy. Even if you can't kill him, at least you will unload him. But after beating for a long time, you smashed his ass with a small bruise.

It seems that you have won, but in fact, you have given your full strength and trump card without letting the other party even reach the point of bleeding, which has to be said to be a failure.

Gao Zhihang and others are trying to find a way again. It's tactics again. The killing game that was set for a long time was broken by Shan Fifty-six after the fight.

Although some losses were inflicted, and even the soldiers of the retreating army were captured. But in the end, the strategic goal of crushing the combined fleet was not achieved.

Even Shan Fifty-six almost didn't pay much price, and he took the fleet to jump out of the air force's attack circle in an orderly manner. This has to be said to be the failure of Gao Zhihang and others.

"It's normal for us to lose, this mountain fifty-six is not a small person. The fact that he was able to plan and succeed in the attack on Pearl Harbor speaks for itself. Chen Haihua smiled and comforted Gao Zhihang: "If you can force him to give up those ships, we have already won." That battleship and those carrier-based aircraft. It's a plus! Of course, we didn't win completely. ”

After a pause, Chen Haihua said solemnly: "I asked you to command this time, and I also want you to know the gap between you and those famous generals. It's rare to be able to fight with someone like Shan Fifty-six, and it's good to bargain. ”

"Go ahead! Practice the cubs well. This time, we have both gains and losses. Report to the research institute, we need long-range fighters now. Although the tiger shark is good, the range is a big problem. ”

At this time, the imperial capital had also received the news that the air force had made a final perfect ending. The sinking of a Japanese battleship, the destruction of more than 200 warplanes, the capture of more than 40,000 Japanese soldiers and a large number of transport ships made the entire coalition government excited.

The chairman of the coalition government informed the whole nation of the results of the battle, and at the same time announced that the coalition government had expelled all Japanese forces in China! Next, the coalition government and the defense forces will fulfill their obligations as allies to launch a full-scale attack on the Southeast Asian region.

As soon as the news came out. The whole nation cheered. The United States first sent Roosevelt's congratulatory telegram congratulating China on its phased victory in this war. He also expressed his appreciation and support for Chairman Linsen's willingness to fulfill his obligations and responsibilities as an ally.

And then, it was the Soviet Union that sent a congratulatory message. The congratulatory telegram from the Soviet Union is worth playing. They also congratulated the Coalition Government and the Defence Forces on their victory.

But then the conversation changed, and I hope that everyone can make efforts to build mutual trust and visits in the military. At the same time, he expressed the hope that the two sides can conduct military, industrial and civilian exchanges to consolidate bilateral relations.

To show good faith. The Soviet Union withdrew the two army groups on the border to the units of only one corps remaining. Chairman Lin Sen of the coalition government said that the Soviet Union and China were welcome to exchange visits and interactions.

After the Soviet Union, Britain and Free France sent congratulatory telegrams to congratulate China on its phased victory. Although Germany and Italy did not send congratulatory telegrams on the surface, certain "businessmen" who secretly remained in China still handed over congratulatory telegrams, including Hitler and Mussolini.

Plainly. Although Japan was also one of the Axis powers, these two countries did not look down on Japan. On some levels, they feel that the IDF is closer to them.

"Mountain fifty-six. This person is not easy to deal with......" Behind the noise, the top cabinet members of the coalition government are in a meeting. Shen Honglie took the battle report handed over by Chen Haihua and sighed: "This person is amazing!" ”

Shen Honglie looked at the battle report, substituted himself more than once, and then asked himself. Is it possible to choose to abandon those fleets and evacuate at full speed under such circumstances?!

In the end, he couldn't deceive himself, and he felt that he couldn't do it if he was replaced by Shen Honglie. In other words, if he commands the combined fleet, then the likely result is calculated by Gao Zhihang.

Even if you get out in the end, the loss will not be small.

A strong man breaks his wrist, this is easy to say, but how many can do it?! Moreover, this decision made by Shan Fifty-six will undoubtedly make him be reprimanded by the army after returning to China.

The Admiralty also had no way to keep him. This time, almost all the transport ships of the day were lost. Even the folk ones are included. For a long time, Japan did not have the ability to obtain resources from Southeast Asia by ships.

This is fatal for the current day when resources are scarce. And Shan Fifty-six, as the commander who abandoned these ships, will undoubtedly carry this big black cauldron.

The people who have lost their ships and their loved ones will use their anger to send the mountain to hell.

"I don't think we have much chance of fighting Shan Fifty-Six. At least for a short time, he did not have the means to command the troops. Shen Honglie coughed lightly and said, "This time the loss is so big, even if the Japanese cabinet wants to keep him, they have to idle him for a while." ”

"To deal with the fleet, you still need the fleet." Tu Menghu spoke at this time, but saw him looking at Shen Honglie and said, "When will our aircraft carrier be repaired?!" ”

"At least half a year. And that's still in a hurry. Shen Honglie couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard his own commander-in-chief mention the aircraft carrier: "Jiangnan Shipyard, the foundation is scrapped." A lot of the technology is outdated, and now they're learning it from scratch. Fortunately, the old foundation is still there, and we have found a lot of old workers. But it will take time to repair aircraft carriers and battleships......"

Tu Mengben couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, what the National Defense Force lacks most now is time. With Japan's industrial capacity, they will soon be able to build a large number of transport vessels. At that time, as long as the routes to Southeast Asia are restored, they will be able to obtain a steady stream of resources from Southeast Asia.

"Let's start with Southeast Asia! Zhizhou Gong of the Southwest Military Region couldn't wait for a long time. Chief of General Staff Su Zongzhe said with a smile: "Let's take down Burma and Vietnam first." Why don't you give the United States an explanation?! ”

ps: The power has been out for a day...... The call can be coded at night...... Daddy......
