The bridge of the ship "Pinghai".

Put down the binoculars. Ye Fei bent down to Sa Zhenbing's ear.

"Commander. The time has come. Make up your mind. ”

Sa Zhenbing squinted slightly. He spit out two words lightly: "Not yet." ”

Ye Fei blinked: "The three thunderbolt levels in front of me who fought against the queen are about to be overwhelmed." Nanyue behind the palace is also about to die. If you let the other party approach like this. It's a mess if it's a scuffle......"

"Wait." Sa Zhenbing simply closed his eyes.

Ye Fei was anxious. He straightened up like a spring and said loudly, "Wait? When will it be? ”

"Wait for them to strike first." Sa Zhenbing is leisurely like a hermit in the mountains.

Ye Fei, who didn't know what was going on, still had to ask. Suddenly, the bad news came from the overhead speaker: "The Haruna has raised the flag." Left out of the battle column! ”

"What? The Japanese are really unreliable. At this time, Lieutenant General Yamaya's Kirishima will be attacked by two queens. No. The queen who has no rival may turn around and aim at us. to rescue the Orion-class ...... that was caught between the ship and Ninghai What to do. Just got a little bit of an edge. It's going to be leveled again......"

There was a lot of chatter. Ye Fei gritted his teeth. Bent down again and leaned into Sa Zhenbing's ear: "Sir." Hazuna really didn't work. Do you have to wait until ......?"

"Then wait until then." Sa Zhen Ice Cutting is unequivocal.

For a moment. Bad news followed, and the Island made a sharp turn to starboard...... Can't get in touch! ”

"The Kirishima is turning clockwise. Watch out for collisions! ”

"The Dongyue called. It was reported that the Nanyue was left behind. They are not in contact with them. ”

"The Kirishima made a third turn. Still unable to get in touch. Continue to be attacked by two Queen-class ships. There was no sign of returning fire. The stern of the ship is submerged! ”

"The Dongyue called. It was reported that the Nanyue stalled and was suspended. Request for a ship tow —

Hear here. Ye Fei couldn't hold his breath again: "Sir." It can't go on like this! We-"

The words just came out. Suddenly there was an excited exclamation from the speaker: "Exploded!" There was a big explosion in the Orion class opposite! The shadow of the ship disappeared in an instant! The plume of smoke was about to hit the clouds. And it's still rising...... Still can't see the shadow of the ship. Complete. ”

"Article 3." Sa Zhenbing chanted like a sutra.

Ye Fei looked at the freshly baked pillar of smoke on the distant sea antenna. But I couldn't get excited. Stomping his feet, he said, "We've scrapped three of them on our side." If it goes on like this, it can only be a lose-lose situation! ”

Sa Zhenbing squinted and sneered: "So you can't bear it?" Afraid. Don't do the navy. That's what the British taught us. That's exactly what we're doing now. Determined to defeat the teacher. I don't even have the courage to bear the loss. What else to talk about instead! ”

Ye Fei was about to argue with him. Suddenly, a report from the telecommunications room came out of the loudspeaker: "Thunderbolt calls: the enemy's vanguard flag is out of battle." Now the last Lion Patrol is being besieged with three ships. ”

Sa Zhenbing clasped his palms and closed his eyes. Predictably, he turned his words and said, "Order." This ship and the Ninghai transferred fire to the Queen-class battleship before the original target. ”

Ye Fei still chattered with a dissatisfied face: "Even if it's two to one." I can't save Kirishima either. The Thunderbolt against the Queen's modification. I'm afraid the situation is not much better. If you don't do step B again. It's really going to be hand-to-hand combat. When the time comes......"

Sa Zhenbing glanced at him. Slightly impatient, he said in a deep voice, "I said it." Wait for them to strike first. "The destroyer Yangzi is clustered in the center. At a top speed of 28 knots, it headed southwest against the wind. In order to release another batch of "Golden Eagle" attack planes that served as patrol planes.

Aviation bridge field terrace. The argument between Bi Lingbo and Liang Shuming has been going on for a while.

“…… That's all I have to say. If you don't understand, I can't help it. I respect you. I don't want to use command to press you. Please go down to the cabin and wait for the news

Bi Lingbo has clearly grown impatient with this controversy. Liang Shuming still didn't give up. Lying across the hatch leading to the bridge, he said, "It's not your problem with me. This is the last chance for our mobile fleet. Why don't you understand what? Leave it alone with air defense. The other party can't stop the plane at all! Listen to me. Hang the remaining golden eagles and east winds on torpedoes. Concentrate on attacking Jericho's flagship. The battleships in the middle of the battle line are simply dead targets. Think about it. Sink the enemy's flagship general. That's a lot of work. That's enough to wash away the shame of the wounded death of three aircraft carriers - and you don't want the Mobile Fleet to be disbanded after this battle. Our aircraft carrier faction has completely become a vassal of the battleship faction! ”

Bi Lingbo sighed lightly on the side of his face. He said solemnly with his back hand: "Here I am." There is neither an aircraft carrier faction nor a battleship faction. There are only commands. Now I'm going back to my place. Please give way. ”

Liang Shuming tilted his head and smacked his lips and said, "Why are you so brainless." There's no way to usher in a new era. In any case, please think again. You only get one chance......"

"I'm sorry. I'm busy. We'll find time to discuss the new era when we go back. Right now. Please give way......

Sir. ”

Bi Lingbo tried his best to spit out the last two words as politely as possible. The body is about to rush forward. Suddenly, the alarm sounded. Follow. Behind Liang Shuming, Jiang Ye's half-bruised swollen face shook out - "A large group of machines was found at 3 o'clock!" ”

Liang Shuming brushed his face white. Angry shouted at Bi Lingbo: "It's all because of you." Because of the time you wasted. Opportunity is just right in your hands......"

Bi Lingbo's eyes looked over his shoulders defiantly. Gu Xiang Jiang Ye ordered, "Send a signal." The whole ship is ready for air defense battles. All planes made every effort to intercept. An enemy goes! ”

The foredeck of the "Lion" was tilted more than ten degrees to the left. Lieutenant General Betty tightened the handrail of the gangway beside him with a calm face. Straight ahead. Compared to the 26,000-ton "Lion", the destroyer "Lance", which was as small as a rat, was cautiously approaching.

"The boat looks hopeless." Lieutenant Colonel Kanter, who was standing on the side, said inappropriately.

Betty squinted at the new pillar of smoke behind her, "We goddamn ships seem to have menstruation today

Kanter shrugged: "The Tiger is being besieged by three enemy ships. I can't rely on it for a while. What about the transfer to the Vengeance? ”

Betty frowned: "Get together with Thomas?" The bridge will be squeezed. Let's go to the Queen. ”

"Things are not going well with the Tiger." Kante reminded in the direction of the stern.

"Speed is armor. Who said this? Betty's eyes did not take off the Lance.

Kanter narrowed half of his eyes: "Daddy Fisher never said that battlecruisers would be added to the battle line. ”

"The other side is also a battle cruiser." Betty looked indignant.

Kante smiled wryly: "It's just ...... in name"

The conversation did not start. On the other side, Adjutant Captain Lane reminded, "The Lance has been shipped. Please Commander, hurry up and transfer. ”

Betty nodded. Turning back to the bridge, he saluted: "See you later." My little Betty's lieutenant general's flag has been removed from the mainmast. At this time, he was being held by Captain Lane with precious hands. Trembling, he was the first to walk down the gangway. Betty was about to step out of the way. In the endless but rhythmic rumble of cannons. There was a shuddering muffled sound—

"Exploded! Exploded again! The Enemy Lion Battlecruiser explodes! The shadow of the ship is completely covered in black smoke......"

With the excited screams that popped out of the speakers. The bridge of the "Thunderbolt" once again fell into an instantaneous carnival. The military hats with black brims and gold leaves on a white background were thrown up the ceiling and bounced back. Luckily. None of them hit Lieutenant General Yuan Feng's head and wounds.

Yuan Feng, who was still reclining on the recliner just now, hummed wildly, stepped on the saber at his feet. With a smile on his face, he scolded: "Hey." It's not over yet. Don't get too complacent—Captain. Has the damage to the ship been confirmed? ”

The captain of the ship, Colonel Yang Guangwen, reported with a bitter face: "It's getting worse and worse. The bullet holes in the bow of the ship were flooded with a large amount of water. Plus the emergency water injection after the A turret was shot. The bow sank hard. The speed could only be barely maintained at 20 knots. ”

Yuan Feng tilted his head and thought for a while: "It seems that I have to change ships...... Army Staff Officer. Let thunder and thunder report the situation. In particular, ask about the speed. By the way, call a destroyer over. Prepare to engage with the ship. Liang Staff Officer. Herald thunder and thunder. Join the ship in attacking the Queen Modification Battleship opposite the Lightning Mine. Above—"

The spittle in this side has not yet landed. Bad news followed: "The Kirishima stalled and was suspended. Still unable to communicate. The Queen-type battleship attacking Haruna has turned its fire to the Hirami. ”

"Thunderbolt fire! Unable to communicate. ”

"Kirishima tilted at a large angle...... I confirm that it is sinking rapidly......"

"The Lightning is out of control. Exiting the Battle—"

Yuan Feng sighed lightly. He stood up with his saber in pain. greeted Yang Guangwen's inquiring gaze. He grinned, "It's okay. Fighting. Bleeding is commonplace. The Commander won't look at us and leave it alone. ”

Yang Guangwen said bitterly: "It's good if that's the case...... It's no longer a matter of flesh and blood......"

"George V". Medical room.

"It's just a skin wound from broken glass. Nothing is a big deal. ”

A white coat comforted Jericho as he wrapped gauze around his neck.

Captain Anson, the adjutant on the side, bowed his head and saluted, "Thank you very much." Dr. Jensen. I'm going to let you know. ”

The hatch was suddenly pushed open. Lieutenant Colonel Willie hurried in.

"Just now. Orion. Tiger. The explosion sank. ”

Jericho was about to open his mouth to speak. The pain of the neck wound made him gasp several times.

Tiger thought for a moment. Jericho grabbed the pen from the table. He drew a few words on the doctor's note with his injuries. Turn it over and show it to Willy. Take...... Time? Right now? Willie was still a little hesitant.

"Now is it...... There is no other way. Jericho whispered in pain.

Willie gritted his teeth: "Understood." Execute it now! ”——

A rare dividing line -

P: Today is September 2nd. Sixty-four years ago today. On the battleship USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. It is set against the backdrop of a city town that has been burned to the ground. The Japanese delegation signed the instrument of unconditional surrender. Five years of the Pacific War. Eight years of China's War of Resistance. This is the end of the curtain.

Speaking of which. This book. It's been eight years since I started writing. It's been five years since the beginning. It can be said that old and immortal are prehistoric relics of thieves. It is often asked. Why is it not over yet? Early death, early superbirth. Start a new book early. And so on and so forth.

For what?

I want to know what the road is. Please get started today. Refresh the front page of the book every day or every other day.

That's it. Thank you all for the last time. Special thanks to the friends who still have ordered V.

Eight years is fine. Five years is fine. If it is a trench war. It's a complete tragedy.
