Chapter 1164: Armageddon (1)

Kyo Morikawa looked at the Wehrmacht's team of only thirty fighters with great excitement, and his hands were trembling. He was one of the few pilots who survived a fight with Wehrmacht fighters some time ago.

The weeks of fierce air battles were something he never wanted to remember for the rest of his life. Hundreds of Wehrmacht warplanes came across the sea, and there was a burst of indiscriminate bombardment on the floor.

The military department could not send too many fighters to support Fukuoka, and they needed to take into account the air safety in Tokyo, Kyoto and other places.

There were only about 200 fighters that could come to support Fukuoka. Although the Rì military flew the latest version of the Variant III, many pilots had almost zero combat experience.

In contrast, the Wehrmacht pilots have an incomparable wealth of combat experience. Originally, the army also had many fighter pilots with actual combat experience, but unfortunately in previous battles with the Wehrmacht.

Most of these pilots were lost, and some of the remaining ones were incorporated into the aviation school to teach the new generation of pilots. And these trained pilots don't have much experience in air combat.

And in the air battle some time ago, such a large number of rookies participated in the war with honor. Then a large group was directly shot down by the Wehrmacht Air Force.

The pilots of the dozens of fighters that eventually escaped were promoted overnight to the current commander of the Army Air Corps. The pilots of the Rì Army, who had survived the previous air battles, also left the classroom and began to board the fighters again.

Both they and the War Department knew very well that if this campaign failed, then I am afraid that there would be no need for pilots in the future. In that case, let's just get things done all at once!

The latest fighter of the "Tutu Tu Tu ......" rì army, at this time, the one type three is the strongest fighter made by the rì at present.

And he is already completely different from the early lightly armored Type Zero.

First of all, his engine was replaced with a more powerful HA-115, and the left and right main wing ends were cut 30 centimeters shorter, and the propeller was replaced with a three-winged propeller instead of two wings.

At the same time, the armament on the fighter was also changed to two 12.7mm machine guns. The self-sealing fuel tank was strengthened to resist 12.7mm machine gun attacks, and a 13mm thick armor plate was installed behind the cockpit to protect against 12.7mm machine gun bullets.

Even so, the xìng ability of this fighter is still extremely good. It took him just 4 minutes and 48 seconds to climb from takeoff to 5,000 meters.

This was quite a feat at the time. It's a pity that the excellent fighter worked out. But almost all of the good fighter pilots have fallen.

Rì had a fighter that could rival the Tiger Shark, but unfortunately their pilot's combat experience could not keep up. Wasted this excellent fighter.

Perhaps we can say that he appeared too late in this excellent fighter. Without those excellent fighter pilots, just these rookie pilots can be imagined.

"Avoid! Circumvent!! Keep up the speed! ......" Pang Li kept roaring in the communicator, directing the warhawks of the Wehrmacht to evade the warplanes of the Rì Army.

But how could the Rì Army let go of this great opportunity to attack?! They swarmed at the almost unprepared Wehrmacht eagles, trying to shoot them down before their support arrived.

The two sides have fought each other many times, and the Rì Army knows very well that the Wehrmacht's communications equipment is much better than its own. The Wehrmacht warhawks can calmly contact the rear tower at any time and report back to the battlefield.

"Quick! Before their support arrives, annihilate them first! And then attack the fleet! Fast! Fast!! Kyo Morikawa roared loudly, even though he knew that no one would hear him even if he screamed too loudly.

But he just wanted to yell, and it seemed that he couldn't ease his tension without doing so. No one knows better than he how terrible the Wehrmacht warhawks are.

The roar of aircraft engines and the sound of cannons and machine guns exploded in the sky. Hundreds of Rì fighters frantically chased after the Wehrmacht's fighter units, trying to swallow them in one gulp.

And the warhawks of the Wehrmacht are gritting their teeth and constantly fighting these rì army fighters**......

"The Rì Army has arrived at the planned combat area, and we can set off......" Chen Shaokuan raised his wrist, looked at his watch and said softly: "Order the troops, lift the anchor!" ”

"Yes! Weigh!! Chief of Staff Chen Ce responded loudly, and then rushed out of the command room.

At the sound of an order, the Navy began a full-scale operation. All the warships began to slowly put away their anchor chains and slowly slid towards the deep sea......

The Rì fighter unit in Fukuoka was horrified to find that the Wehrmacht fleet seemed to be leaving, and if the Wehrmacht warships disappeared into the sea, then the Rì Army's battle plan would be in vain.

Several fighters quickly returned home, and they needed to report the matter to the base camp of the Rì Army. Otherwise, if something happens, then the plans of the entire rì army will be affected.

"Buzzing ......" At this time, a large number of Wehrmacht Air Force fighter units rushed towards the battlefield. The Rì army over Fukuoka was horrified to find that they no longer had numerical superiority.

But even so, they can fight hard.

"Break through their blockade and attack their warships! Their fleet must be left here!! Through sign language, Sugida Kao, the commander of the Rì Army's fighter unit, kept giving orders to his troops.

The fighters began to gather in groups, frantically killing the fleet. They now had no choice but to desperately leave the Wehrmacht's fleet to fight for a glimmer of life for Rìben.

Yamamoto Isoroku off the coast of Fukuoka had no idea that such a change had taken place in Fukuoka at this time, and under his orders, all the fighters on the eight aircraft carriers of the Rì Army began to take off step by step.

The battleships in charge of the attack also broke away from the main fleet and headed for the sea where the Wehrmacht fleet was located.

"Yamamoto-san, how sure do you think we can win this time?!" Koga Mine looked at the silent Yamamoto Fifty-six and asked softly.

The latter did not answer immediately, but looked at the fighters that kept taking off in a daze, not knowing what to think.

Yamamoto's gaze stayed on the rising planes for a while, and then fell on the battleships that were slowly breaking away from the main fleet.

"To be honest, I'm not sure." After a long time, Yamamoto fifty-six replied softly, "This battle, in my opinion. Even if we win, it will only be a temporary victory......"

"The Wehrmacht is still transporting troops and supplies to Fukuoka, and it is clear that they are thinking about the consequences of a naval defeat if we defeat them......

"Even if their navy is routed by us, as long as they can occupy Fukuoka, they will be able to get supplies from afar through the air force. Continuing the fight, the order ......"

As he spoke, Yamamoto Fifty-six smiled bitterly and said, "And what about us?!" Can we take the battleship to the shore and fight?! Even if we defeat the Wehrmacht's naval forces, we will not dare to approach Fukuoka easily......"

"The Wehrmacht's air force is too strong, and the training of their fighter pilots has formed a whole chain of learning supply. Even the productivity of their fighters is better than ours......"

"Not to mention that they also have a lot of resources, including steel, aluminum, oil...... Wait for the supplies needed for these fighters......"

Yamamoto fifty-six paused, and said with a wry smile: "Even if we win this battle, it will only gain some time to survive......"

Koga Mine's face was ugly, he didn't expect Yamamoto Fifty-six to say something like this.

"So, is our battle completely pointless?!" Koga Mine roared in a low voice, "Isn't it pointless for us and these imperial warriors to fight to the death on sea and land?!" ”

Yamamoto didn't answer directly, but looked at the slowly rising morning sun and didn't speak.

As the waves crashed against the side of the Yamato, the commander of the 4th Destroyer Squadron, Kosaku Ariga Naval Osaku, looked at the sea dyed golden by the morning sun with great ambition, and could not help but think of the naval battle that China called the "First Sino-Japanese War."

"Those Chinese, don't they understand that the sea is the world of the emperor ** people?! Maybe only when we deepen their impression again will they become conscious......"

At this time, he rarely became the commander of the Fourth Destroyer Fleet, with four destroyers under his command: Ogikaze, Arashi, Maifu, and No. Behind him were hundreds of fighter jets and bombers.

In Yukasaku Araga's opinion, he is now extremely powerful, even if the naval fleet of the Wehrmacht is directly in front of him, he is confident that it will be completely defeated.

"Those army horse dung people have never been able to understand the beauty of the sea for the rest of their lives. They will only eat mud in the dust, and then proudly show off their ugly military uniform! ”

Asami Sayaka Navy Major Zo said with some disdain: "The real strength of the empire is still our navy!" Those army horse manures, what else can they do but wear a military uniform like horse manure and boast all over the place?! ”

Although the Wehrmacht suffered several losses, they all believed that it was a drag on the Army. If the last time in the retreat to China was in the campaign, it was not for the people of the army that the navy would have been out of the battle long ago.

And in the Philippine landing, too, those stupid army horse manure dragged down the navy. Otherwise, the Navy could calmly find the location of the Wehrmacht warships and annihilate them.

"This time, the rats must not be able to escape. Then let's tell them who is the real master of the Asian seas! Yuki Ariga laughed.

His desire to fight the Wehrmacht's Combined Fleet soon came true. Suddenly some black spots appeared on the surface of the sea in the distance. And as the black dots approached, Yukasaku Ariga's breathing began to grow heavy.

The fighters of the Rì Army, who were originally around the Ariga Kosaku fleet, noticed that something was wrong, and suddenly rushed towards these black spots that suddenly appeared!

In the buzzing roar, countless warplanes appeared on the surface of the sea. The planes that covered the sky formed a formation and swooped directly towards Yusaku Ariga and the group of planes around him.

"Meet the enemy!! Telegraph to His Excellency Yamamoto that we have encountered a large number of Wehrmacht fighters! Please him jǐng ti!! ”

As soon as Yusaku Ariga exited, Sayaka Asami, whose face was extremely pale beside him, muttered, "How to get in touch?!" His Excellency Yamamoto's radio installation has been turned off for fear of discovering our whereabouts. Now we can't get in touch with them......"

"Then let the fighters go back! We have to tell the main fleet that we have encountered a large number of Wehrmacht fighters!! Yuga Yusaku roared loudly.

"Although our fighters have done a good job, the communication equipment is still a mess. Not to mention contacting us, they are the internal contact of the fleet, and it is a problem......"

Asami Sayaka smiled bitterly and was speechless, fighter communication has always been the most painful part of the Rì Army. It's not that they haven't thought about overcoming this difficulty.

The problem is that the countries that now have the most advanced communication equipment are all European and American countries. Although Rìben's ally, Germany also had advanced communication equipment.

But at present, this communication equipment has not been transferred to the technology of rì Ben. Even the Germans kept this communication technology hidden, for fear that Rì himself would learn it.

Under such circumstances, there was no room for the army to improve its own communication system.

"Tom tom tom...... Rumble!! "With the first Rì Army fighter plane being blown up in the air, it announced the beginning of this battle. Countless warplanes began to stagger across the sea, and the Wehrmacht's warhawks began to tear through the Rì Army's defenses and pounce on the fleet below.

The aviation guns on the cruiser did not dare to fire at will, and the warplanes in the sky were all running around. If you attack easily at this time, it is likely that you will knock down your own fighter.

In order to save the fleet, Yukasaku Ariga could only order the fleet to make a big detour and prepare to escape from here to divert the Wehrmacht's fighter forces. Although the battle situation in the sky was chaotic, Yukisaku Ariga could see that the Rì army was clearly not dominant.

Perhaps for the time being, these Rì Army fighters will be able to withstand the onslaught of the Wehrmacht, but the final result is very clear to everyone. Because from afar, they had already seen the second group of Wehrmacht fighters approaching.

What this means, Yukasaku knows better than anyone else......

Yamamoto still didn't know what was going on, and according to the predetermined plan, in order not to reveal the location of the Rì fleet before the battle, they turned off their radios and sailed towards the predetermined sea area.

"Our fight, so to speak, is meaningful. But it can also be said that it is meaningless......" Yamamoto Isoroku looked at the waves in front of the battleship that were constantly slapping on the side of the ship, and said, "Whether it is won or not, I don't see any hope for the survival of the empire......"

"Perhaps provoking this war was our biggest mistake. This mistake is irreparable, and we are all paying for it now......"

"We know China's abundance, even for a long time. But we are all blinded by his riches, forgetting the dangers behind them. This rich place was once hated by countless people who wanted to devour him......"

"And we, again, will be one of those people......" Yamamoto Isoroku said with a wry smile: "After the war, we will not have a navy anymore." We...... Perhaps the last rì Ben Navy ......"

At the same time, Chen Shaokuan was constantly flipping through the various battle reports sent from front of him on his ship. The fighters of the Rì Army have already engaged the fighters of the Air Force, and the two sides are fighting frantically.

At the same time, the fighters of the Air Force also discovered the battleship of the Rì Army, the Yamato, and the main fleet of the district to which it belonged. However, the Air Force is dispatched by fighter units, and the fighters of the Rì Army are constantly entangled. So it was impossible to launch an attack on the fleet of the Rì army.

"All our fighters have taken off, and the bombers are on standby!" Chen Shaokuan snorted coldly and ordered: "Since the fight has started, let's have a good fight!" ”

Chen Ce nodded and went down to give the order. The entire Combined Fleet of the Wehrmacht knew that this battle would be about the future masters of the Asian Navy.

If the Wehrmacht can make Yamamoto resent this, then even if the US Pacific Fleet wants to seize the position of the Wehrmacht's hegemony in Asian waters in the future, it will think twice.

But if the Wehrmacht Navy loses, it will be extremely difficult to regain combat effectiveness for at least twenty years.

The Wehrmacht Navy Combined Fleet was finally dispatched, and at this time Chen Shaokuan received a telegram from the General Headquarters of the Wehrmacht in Seoul. On the telegram was the code name of the operation set by Tu Mengben himself for this campaign -- "Jiawu-Dadonggou"!

"Tom tom tom...... Rumble!! "In the skies over Fukuoka, the Wehrmacht Air Force has already fought fiercely with the fighters of the Rì Army who have come to support. The two sides went back and forth, constantly trying to shoot each other down.

The assault on the ground was even more intense, and countless Wehrmacht armored units began to assist the Marines in launching an attack on the positions of the Rì Army.

The Rì Army Division, which had arrived, also began to enter the position under the command of Hideki Tojo and defend desperately.

In the sky, warplanes were constantly destroyed and fell, and shells on the ground crushed countless ruins again. Angry roars, roars, explosions, and gunshots resounded through Fukuoka......

The Rì Army on the periphery supported the troops, desperately rushing towards Fukuoka. And the Wehrmacht's transport fleet was frantically transporting troops to the beach.

This was the real beginning of the battle, and the all-out battle between the two sides began in Fukuoka......

"Who do you think will emerge victorious?!" In Washington, Roosevelt rubbed his brows tiredly. The battle in Fukuoka, he already knew. As a result of the congressional controversy, the American fleet did not attack Iwo Jima.

At the same time, the Wehrmacht was fighting on its own.

"The navy of the Wehrmacht is too immature, and it is clearly inappropriate for them to participate in such a big war at this time." Marshall said solemnly: "In terms of the navy, I think Rìmoto's Yamamoto 56 Combined Fleet has a better chance of winning. ”

"But whether or not Rì himself defeated the Wehrmacht Navy, they would have lost the war." Marshall paused and said word by word: "They will be defeated by the Chinese!" (To be continued.) )
