No matter how Captain Osa, the flagship of the Third Fleet "Asahi", refused to admit from the bottom of his heart, His Excellency Commander Kiyoshi Hasegawa had broken jade, but the indisputable fact was ruthlessly placed in front of him, the rank of lieutenant general on his uniform, the documents in his pocket, plus the description of several sailors and officers who had witnessed the situation when the last two bombs fell.

The captain had to believe the facts, less than a dozen catties of meat in front of him, there was the soul of the Third Fleet, the supreme commander Commander Hasegawa Kiyoshi, the other parts of the commander's body, had been integrated into the warship, and could no longer be found, Captain Osa's kneel down suddenly, wailing and crying, and the officers behind him knelt down one piece, but the ordinary sailors were not like this, just watching with a dead face.

It's not that sad that he's so sad, to be honest, Hasegawa Kiyohira Suri is not very good to his officers, this person, all day long, is a master who doesn't look at people with a straight eye, of course, unlike other imperial generals, who belong to donkeys, have a short temper, and turn their faces when they say they turn their faces, and they will give their subordinates "Yamahama's give" at every turn, and the contempt and contempt that can be revealed from the bones are even more hurtful.

The captain is sad that the rules of the Imperial Navy, like the army, the supreme commander of a fleet, on that warship, or the accident, and from the captain to the deputy captain, to the heads of various departments of all sizes are safe and sound, then this sin is too big, and he can't eat and walk around.

It is not good to protect the boss, and the crime of dereliction of duty cannot be run, so he will commit suicide by caesarean section to apologize for his sins, or he will be tied to the execution ground and eaten with a gun, and he will not even be given the opportunity to decently end his own life. The family is still implicated, who is Hasegawa Kiyoshi? The famous admiral of the Imperial Japanese Navy, the darling in the eyes of the naval tycoons, is very precious. When the eyeballs are pampered.

On the flagship of the "Asahi", this is the case, from the captain down, the officers above the rank of junior sorbet, there is no, the warship was bombed like a broken market, and the casualties of the sailors are more than a quarter, this group of people is good. I didn't even break a piece of skin, I originally thought it was Amaterasu's manifestation and the protection of His Majesty the Emperor, but now I understand. What *** bullshit gods and emperors, it's the Hades who are urging life.

Captain Osa's crying muttered in fear in his heart, "What kind of bullshit rules?" Didn't you say that it was unlucky, the commander was unconscious in the cabin. Stay well, what are you doing on the deck, you don't care if you die, dozens of officers including yourself will be affected. All of them are losing their lives, where can they be reasonable? Only hope for the status quo of the fleet. It can be explained that the commander Yu Crush was purely accidental, under such a fierce and massive bombardment by the Chinese planes. Anyone with broken jade is possible, and this reason helps him escape this catastrophe! ”

Sato received a report from the captain of the flagship "Asahi", a mouthful of blood spurted out on the spot, his eyes rolled, he fainted, the military doctor on the ship, was in a hurry for a while, Rear Admiral Sato woke up leisurely, his eyes were empty, staring directly at the ceiling of the cabin, without saying a word, a large group of officers, surrounded by him, the atmosphere did not dare to come out, and looked at the dead Rear Admiral Sato with fear.

These officers of the Third Fleet, worried about that, just died the commander, don't die the commander, everyone knows the rules of the navy, afraid of the same fate as the officers on the "Asahi", for a long time, Sato let out a sigh of relief, sat up like a corpse, and frightened these officers, first flashed, and then, surrounded them.

Sato's eyes were glowing with a green cold light, looking at a group of officers with gray faces, and said in a hoarse voice: "The news of the commander of the jade shatter is strictly sealed, only in the current range, if that is spread, there will be no mercy," The gloomy movement made these nervous officers tremble, bowed upright, and replied in unison: "Hai! ”

Sato continued: "Send a telegram to Admiral Ito, the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Asian Dispatch Army, to truthfully state the facts, do not conceal them, and in addition, immediately report to the Admiralty that Admiral Hasegawa Kiyoshi and the current situation of the Third Fleet will be reported to the Admiralty, and the ships will be repaired as soon as possible, and at midnight today, we will turn around and return to the mainland, please thank you!" ”

The officers looked at each other and muttered in their hearts, "Isn't the Third Fleet here to assist the Army in defending Rangoon?" Why haven't you entered the port yet, you have to go back the same way, disobeying the military order is not a joke, you also have to lose your head, you have to dock, you have to replenish ammunition and supplies, how can you go back? Commander Sato can't be like Commander Hasegawa Kiyoshi who is sick and confused, right? ”

Sato, who was old and sophisticated, saw the inner thoughts of the officers, sighed, and said: "What you think, I understand, what is the effect of the current situation of the fleet on the defense system of Rangoon? We have lost our combat capability, and the most important thing is that the fleet without force, staying within the range of the Chinese aircraft, is extremely dangerous, and will be devastated, do you dare to guarantee that the fleet of independent divisions will not bomb us again? ”

The officers were dumbfounded, who can guarantee this, maybe tomorrow morning, the sky over the Third Fleet will be covered with dark clouds of independent division aircraft, Sato continued: "The fleet has no warships sunk, this is a great luck, I can't explain what the reason is, good luck will not have a second time, so, we must do our best to leave the Andaman Sea, out of the bombing range of the independent division group, all the responsibility, I Sato alone, you can rest assured to carry out the order!" ”

Commander Sato's words have all come to this point, who raises objections again, what kind of imperial honor, allegiance to the emperor, and bushido spirit, these nonsense things, raise objections, that is, after being kicked in the head by a donkey, and being caught by the hatch a few times, my generation will rise up and beat him, except for the unlucky officers on the "Asahi", can pick up a life and go back alive, why not?

The officers stood up in unison, "Hay, resolutely carry out the orders of His Excellency the Commander," the officers dispersed, went back to clean up the mess, and were busy with the retreat, Sato exhausted the last trace of strength, like a puddle of water, fell to the ground, rolled his eyes, and fainted again, and the military doctor hurriedly rushed over, and he was busy for a while.

Sato's secret order buried Xie Guangfu, a hero of the bomber unit of the Southern Flying Group of the Independent Division, and it was not until a few years later that he learned that the two small bombs dropped by his crew actually killed the star of the Japanese Navy, Vice Admiral Hasegawa Kiyoshi, commander of the Third Fleet, and the explosion was almost boneless, which made him lose a second-class "brave" medal on his chest.

In Yangon City, the Japanese City Defense Command, Admiral Ito Yanzaburo, was anxiously waiting for the Third Fleet's reply, and had sent three telegrams one after another, but not even one of them was replied, which made Ito jump to his feet in a hurry, he was not only worried about the situation of the Third Fleet, but also worried about reinforcements and equipment from the mainland.

This is his greatest reliance on Yangon, and his only hope, the chief of staff, Rear Admiral Kawashima, with two bright little eyes, through the lenses, staring at the commander-in-chief who walks back and forth like a donkey on the mill, Kawashima's love is much smoother than Ito's, and he has already vaguely guessed the fate of the Third Fleet and the troop transport fleet.

It's going to be terrible, it's just that I don't dare to say it! I am afraid that I will sweep away the excitement of General Ito, and I am also afraid that I will make a mistake in judgment and attract criticism, and I will curse the total annihilation of the Third Fleet, if the result is not like that, the Third Fleet will sail into the port of Yangon, and Hasegawa will go ashore alive and vibrant.

However, the fact is that the Third Fleet, which has several hundred carrier-based aircraft and strong anti-aircraft firepower, can be allowed to ask the army for help and ask for land anti-aircraft fire cover, so that the navy, which has always been at odds with the army, can open its mouth.

Ito and Kawashima waited silently and anxiously, and a communications officer came in in a hurry, "Report to the commander-in-chief, received a call back from the Third Fleet," Ito snatched the telegram, only glanced at it, and his head "boomed", and the Venus in front of him was chaotic, and he couldn't come to his heart in one breath, shook it a few times, and his eyes were dark, and he fainted on the spot.

Kawashima hurriedly called the doctor, hurriedly carried Ito to the bed, he himself picked up the telegram that scared the general of the Great Japanese Empire, and looked closely, he himself was shocked, the content of the telegram was unfortunately said by himself, Kawashima did not feel complacent at all, there was only endless sorrow, it was the feeling of the death of a rabbit and a fox.

"His Excellency Ito Yanzaburo, Commander-in-Chief of the Southeast Asian Dispatch Force of the Empire of Japan, would like to inform you of some unfortunate news, in today's air raid by the Independent Division Air Force, Vice Admiral Hasegawa Kiyoshi, commander of our Third Fleet, unfortunately broke jade, and was loyal to the Great Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor, and the troop transport fleet was all sunk in the waters of the Andaman Sea in the third wave of bombardment, and all the imperial soldiers on board were shattered."

"In view of this situation, the supreme commander of our Third Fleet, all the warships have been severely damaged and can no longer participate in the defensive battle of Rangoon, and the Andaman Sea is within the reach of the bombers and fighters of the Independent Division, and it is feared that it will be attacked again.

Kawashima's eyes were also spent, his head was dizzy, the words on the telegram swam like tadpoles, and the Third Fleet was finished like this? Kiyoshi Hasegawa is dead? Four divisions and regiments of reinforcements, a large number of weapons and ammunition, just sank to the bottom of the sea, that is more than 90,000 imperial soldiers? What a terrifying scene it should be when the jade is shattered in a sea area?

Kawashima seemed to smell the thick smell of suffocating blood, and saw the corpses of imperial soldiers floating on the sea, his stomach twitched, there were signs of vomiting, he retched twice, and cleared his mind, the culprit who caused the jade shattering of the imperial soldiers of the four divisions was Tang Qiuli's bomber.

Judging by the time of the callback, the bombers of the independent division have just returned, and aren't Nomura's fighters coming? A cold light appeared in Kawashima's eyes, a plan of revenge, formed in his mind.! ~！
