The all-out preparations between China and the United States have made the Japanese government furious, and this is indeed too arrogant, completely ignoring the feelings of the Japanese people, and everyone knows what the deployment of several thousand heavy bombers in China means to Japan, especially when I heard that China will expand the production of napalm on a large scale, so that the monthly output will reach at least 100,000 tons. Do you burn Japan straight to ashes? The tiger doesn't threaten you, I'm a sick cat?

Of course, it is very unrealistic to directly attack China by force, even if Japan's air power is not what it used to be, it is also very risky to do so, especially since Yang Feng's new planes have also emerged in an endless stream in recent years, not to mention those mysterious jet fighters are enough to make people calm down. In addition, the Japanese Army is now unable to attack China anymore, and they occupy too many places, from Australia in the southern hemisphere to Siberia in the northern hemisphere, tens of millions of square kilometers of occupied territory need to be maintained, although the Japanese army has expanded to 5 million men, it is still overstretched.

What's more, in terms of the current combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, even if they are unwilling, the Japanese have to admit that there is still a huge gap with Yang Feng's troops, which has been well proven by the war in Central Asia, and after so many years of hard work, they found that the hateful liar can still ride on their necks and.

But it is different at sea, the sea is the world of the Japanese, and now the Japanese Navy is already the de facto hegemon in the Pacific Ocean, the Chinese Navy is almost zero, and the total number of all aircraft carriers in the US Navy is less than half of that of the Japanese Navy.

In the East China Sea, the USS Coolidge is riding the waves on its way to its destination, the port of Qingdao, and with the de facto alliance between China and the United States established, the all-electric propulsion giant ship is pouring in on the water. The trip was even directly contracted by Exxon to transport thousands of engineers and technicians to Beiping, where they and the Yang consortium are building a large refinery, and this is just one of a joint project.

"Captain, there's a Japanese destroyer chasing us behind." The first mate hurriedly walked over to the captain, who was laughing with the guests on deck, and said.

"Are you sure it's chasing us? The captain said suspiciously.

"Sure!" The first mate said.

"Well, looks like we're in trouble." The captain shrugged. The increasingly tense situation between the United States and Japan does make people very worried about the intentions of this Japanese destroyer.

Looking through his binoculars at the destroyer that was chasing at a speed of more than 35 knots, he said without hesitation: "Go at full speed and at the same time send a telegram to the Philippines to tell General MacArthur that the Japanese may want to intercept us."

"In addition, send a report to Peking that they are now at war with Japan, and they should react faster than MacArthur, and they don't have as many concerns as him." He looked at the sky above him. A large four-engine plane is flying at high altitude, this is the high-altitude reconnaissance plane of Beiping, the most common aircraft in the East China Sea, and the flight altitude of 15,000 meters allows them to monitor the entire East China Sea with impunity.

It didn't take long for the President Coolidge to be within the range of the main guns of the Japanese Navy's destroyer Hakaze, and the order from the Japanese to stop the ship for inspection soon came from the public radio.

The USS Coolidge did not heed the order. This is the high seas, what right do you Japanese have to order us to stop our ships? Besides, I'll not stop, what can you do to me? If an artillery attack were to be fired, it would be tantamount to declaring war on the United States. With a Caucasian sense of superiority, many passengers even gathered on the deck to watch the rapidly approaching destroyer and judge it. But at this moment, there was a flash of fire on the bow of the opposing ship, and then the whistle of cannonballs broke through the air overhead, and the deck exploded, and the Americans fled to the cabin one by one in a panic scream.

The captain was also dumbfounded. He didn't expect the Japanese to really dare to open fire, looking at the column of water stirred up by the explosion of the 127 mm shells not far away, this guy quickly calmed down, looked at the two turrets on the opposite side that were rotating and continued to aim, and reluctantly gave the order to stop the ship.

Feather Wind quickly moved forward and prepared to get closer.

But at this time. The terrible air defense sirens suddenly sounded on the destroyer, and then I saw that in the northwest sky, twenty planes appeared, and the President Coolidge, which had begun to slow down and gradually stopped, immediately restarted without hesitation, because these were twenty twin demons, and there was no need to guess that it was the Chinese Air Force fighter jets from Qingdao.

The Feather Wind had no choice but to give up its prey, although the twin demon was not a bomber, but the bomb payload capacity was even comparable to the Japanese army's special bombers, and it was really impossible to fight a lonely destroyer in front of twenty such aircraft.

Even at this time, the twin demons who are still known for their speed flew over the head of the Feather Wind in a blink of an eye, the heavy bombs mounted on the belly of the aircraft were clearly visible, the whistling sound of high-speed flight kept shouting above the heads of the Japanese army, and the Japanese sailors below were nervously watching these enemies who made them the most unforgettable one by one on the gun emplacement, the last East China Sea Battle made the Japanese Navy remember these terrible three-headed monsters, fortunately, because of the de facto armistice between China and Japan, these twenty fighters did not attack, It's just that the head of the Feather Wind keeps going, and it is clear that as long as the Feather Wind no longer intercepts the President Coolidge, they are not prepared to attack.

However, just as the crew and passengers of the President Coolidge were rejoicing in escaping the clutches of the Japanese, suddenly a small fleet of light cruisers and four destroyers appeared on the distant sea, and the plaster flags fluttering on the masts indicated their identities, and these five warships were speeding towards this side at a high speed of more than 30 knots. As soon as the reinforcements arrived, the Feather Wind did not hesitate to issue a warning with cannonballs again, but then the two twin demons in the sky also swooped down, plowing a line on the sea surface with the nose of the cannon, as if to warn the Japanese not to dare to play with fire because you think you have a helper, and cut you like Lao Tzu.

But it was clear that the Feather Wind was not ready to listen to them at this time, a destroyer could not deal with twenty aircraft, but a fleet was different, and after discovering that the President Coolidge was still hesitant and did not mean to stop the ship, the Japanese did not continue to warn, and simply hit its bow with a shell.

The explosion of fire was the order to attack, these Chinese air force pilots did not tolerate the Japanese habits, four twin demons almost simultaneously dived down, in the sound of anti-aircraft gun fire, four 500 kg bombs roared down, one of them hit the stern of the Yufeng, the destroyer's tail gun was directly blown away in the huge explosion.

As soon as they saw the battle going on here, the five Japanese warships in the distance opened fire immediately, but because of the distance, only their main guns could hit it, although the 127 mm naval guns themselves were mainly anti-air, but there was no radio close bombing, and it was a complete waste of shells at such a distance, and the planes did not hit two shells on the unlucky President Coolidge.

At this time, the President Coolidge had already sent the news to the Philippines that it had been attacked by the Japanese Navy and that the cruise ship had been bombed in many places, and the US Navy fleet in the Philippines immediately received the order to set sail.

At this time, the fighting in the East China Sea continued.

It was clear that even if the Japanese reinforcements had arrived, the twin demons in the sky were not prepared to let go of the guys who challenged their dignity, and then four more planes swooped down, and on the poor Feather Wind, the Japanese sailors desperately shot at the sky with various artillery, but they also achieved a little success, and a twin demon who was about to drop bombs was hit by anti-aircraft guns.

However, the huge size of this fighter, perfect armor protection, and that special shape make it extremely strong, although it was beaten to a thousand holes, but after hurriedly dropping the bomb, it still pulled black smoke and withdrew from the battlefield, but just as it flew away, there was another same 500-kilogram bomb hit the Yufeng, how could this small ship of only more than a thousand tons withstand this kind of heavy bomb prepared for the battleship, and it was hit by two in a row, and soon the fragile hull began to sink after a series of explosions.

After destroying the Hakaze, the twin demons in the sky did not pay attention to the reinforcement fleet that had arrived, but swept over their heads very arrogantly, and flew away under the angry gaze of more than a thousand sailors on the five Japanese warships, looking at the enemy in the distance, the fleet commander reluctantly ordered to come forward to rescue the crew of the Hakaze.

But that's when the unexpected happened.

I don't know what the road is about, the position of the waterline of the bow of the President Coolidge, which is extinguishing the fire not far away, suddenly flashed a firelight, and then a huge explosion arched, and the water pressure impact instantly shredded one side of its hull, and in a stunned gaze, the sea water surged into this giant cruise ship with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, and what made the Japanese even more frightened was that the deck had begun to submerge into the underwater Yufeng, and the torpedo tubes were pointing at the President Coolidge.

A few minutes later, MacArthur, commander of the US forces stationed in the Philippines, received a telegram that made his pupils dilate: The cruise ship President Coolidge, which was full of nearly 1,000 US citizens, was torpedoed and sunk by the Japanese Navy destroyer Yukaze in the East China Sea.
