The battleship 'Mutsu' has smoke coming from its chimney. The speed of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info battleship is constantly rising.

But, alas. The battleship Mutsu is an old ship that has been in service for more than 20 years. As early as October 24, 1921, this battleship officially entered service with the Japanese Navy. It has been in service for 22 years now. Although, during the period also carried out a modern refit. But it still can't change the status quo of the battleship's age.

When the battleship Mutsu was built, it was capable of reaching a maximum speed of 25.28 knots. But now, the maximum speed can be maintained at 22 knots, and then thank goodness it is already possible. In front of an aircraft with a speed of up to hundreds of kilometers per hour, such a speed is no different from that of a snail.

On the bridge of the battleship Mutsu, Yamasumi Sadajiro Osaku was very anxious. Although he tried his best to keep himself calm and avoid affecting the morale of the army. Still, he could feel it. These officers and soldiers are anxious in their eyes.

"Command the power compartment to maximize the power of the battleship." Yamasumi Sadajiro Osaku ordered.

He asked for strong pressure ventilation of the boilers to increase the power so that the speed of the battleship could be increased again. However, this is clearly to drink water to quench thirst. In such a state, it is simply impossible for the boiler to last much time. At most two hours, it must be stopped. Otherwise, the boiler will be scrapped. Once there is a problem with the boiler and the power system of the battleship is affected, this will make the battleship become a dead fish floating on the sea, ready for the carrier-based aircraft of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army to attack.

"Your Excellency Dazuo, in that case, I am afraid it will cause a lot of damage to the boiler and greatly reduce the service life." The chief engineer was a little worried.

"If we are attacked by the Chinese bombers and destroyed directly, everything will be finished." Yamasumi Sadajiro Osa, said with a cold face. At such a juncture, the most important thing is to escape first and save your life!

"Hey, Your Excellency, Commander, I know about my humble duties." The chief engineer nodded, and immediately went to give orders.

However, even with full horsepower, the speed of the battleship Mutsu could only be increased to 25 knots. Although it has been improved by three sections, it is nothing at all for a bomber flying at high speed.

"Your Excellency, why don't you leave the battleship 'Mutsu' and go to the heavy cruiser 'Chokai', or the heavy cruiser 'Maya', or the destroyers 'Asakumo' and 'Sanun'." A staff officer suggested.

The battleship "Mutsu" is an old ship, and the maximum speed can only be increased to 25 knots. If you want to improve it again, it is unlikely. But. The maximum speed of the heavy cruisers "Chokai" and "Maya" can reach 35.5 knots, and the speed of the destroyers "Asahun" and "Sanun" can also be increased to 34.7 knots. Compared to the battleship Mutsu, it was ten knots faster.

"Yaga! As the captain of the battleship Mutsu, how could I abandon the battleship and run away alone? Even if it is sunk with the battleship, it is my honor. Yamasumi Sadajiro Osaku reprimanded.

"Hey, Your Excellency Dazuo, I know that I am wrong." The staff officer hurriedly admitted his mistake.

Yamasumi Sadajiro Osa did not continue to investigate, he knew that this staff officer had good intentions. However, he knew that there was no escape from it! Even the speed of two heavy cruisers and two destroyers was ten knots faster than that of the battleship Mutsu. However, in front of the bomber, the speed of these ten knots is nothing at all! What's more, once the formation is scattered, it is easier to be attacked by the bombers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. If several warships act together, it is also possible to maintain a dense anti-aircraft formation. If you are lucky, you may be able to withstand the bombers of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. Even if it's just being blown up, it's much better than being sunk.

"Order all ships, pay attention to air defense, and maintain air defense formation." Yamasumi Sadajiro Osa, once again emphasized.

In such a situation, the stability of the air defense formation is of particular importance. Once the enemy catches the loophole, it can directly break through the air defense network and launch an attack. In that case, you won't be able to resist it at all!

"Hi, Your Excellency."

After the order was given, the formation of the fleet was slightly changed. The battleship 'Mutsu' was in the middle of the ranks. Heavy cruiser "Chokai" and heavy cruiser "Maya", one on the left and one on the right. The destroyers 'Chaoyun' and 'Shanyun' were one after the other. In this way, the anti-aircraft firepower of the fleet can be brought into full play.

At half past eight o'clock in the morning, the 1st Group of the Carrier-based Aircraft Unit of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army discovered the shelling formation of the Japanese Navy Task Force that was fleeing south. The captain of the 1st Brigade immediately gave the order to attack.

"Dive bomber squadrons and torpedo attack squadrons, launch an attack and take out these battleships of the Japanese * himself. These battleships are the culprits responsible for the shelling of Bangkok and the killing of infantry brothers! The captain ordered.

"Sink them all, get rid of them all!" The pilots of the fighters shouted one after another.

Subsequently, 39 SBD2 dive bombers of two dive bomber squadrons and 21 TBD torpedo attack planes of one torpedo attack squadron immediately launched an attack on the five battleships of the Japanese artillery formation.

You must know that this time, the 1st Brigade of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army Carrier-based Aircraft Force, in order to deal with these Japanese warships, even sent out all the spare planes. The fighter unit, in coordination with the fighter unit of the air force, almost wiped out the fighter unit of the Japanese himself. Now all that remains are these battleships of the Japanese * himself. If all these warships are also destroyed, then you are done.

"Fire! Shoot down the fighters of the China. The captains of the ships, looking at the carrier-based planes of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army that were rushing towards them, immediately gave the order to open fire. They know very well that if they don't shoot down these carrier-based aircraft, they will be the ones who will be sunk.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Anti-aircraft guns of various calibers began to fire wildly. One after another, anti-aircraft artillery shells exploded in the air, leaving clouds of smoke and dust in the air.

"Da Da Da!"

Anti-aircraft machine guns also began to fire, tracer bullets in the air, pulling out white lines. The carrier-based aircraft of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army passed through the Japanese anti-aircraft fire.

The fighters of the 1st Brigade of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army also participated in the attack, and they used aviation machine guns to suppress the Japanese anti-aircraft fire, and gave dive bombers and torpedo attack planes a chance to attack.

The attack of more than 90 warplanes in total gave those Japanese officers and men a feeling that the enemy's fighters were overwhelming.
