Chapter 979 can only be like this
"It's a miracle that the three auspicious rays gather!" When Meng Xiang heard the news from ahead, he couldn't help but sigh after a short pause.\\
A lot of times, reality is more like an arranged script.
In the course of the entire naval battle, even the seven Qiuyue-class destroyers with fierce anti-aircraft fire were sunk one by one, and although the three Xiangrui were damaged, they still survived to the end.
"Ignore those three destroyers and concentrate your firepower to take out the Yamato!" Meng Xiang finally gave up what he had said earlier about leaving a ship behind, and re-ordered.
This order added another life to the three auspicious ships.
The main battleships of the Japanese, such as battleships and aircraft carriers, were basically finished, and the remaining three destroyers had nothing to do with the overall situation. Letting them go is more to satisfy the curiosity in Meng Xiang's heart, what if these three auspicious ships continue to envelop the American fleet?
Their auspicious light is so powerful, as evidenced by the now dying Yamato.
The three three-pack cannons on the top have all been destroyed. One is the record of the Pingyuan's 500-mm cannon, and the other two are the credit of the aerial bombs.
The turret of the Yamato, built at this base, was also prone to mechanical failure when it was hit hard, causing the main gun to jam and not turn at all.
Even if it can be used, it is impossible to find an opponent who can fight a decisive battle, and using a giant cannon against a fighter plane in the air that has been alerted to three-type ammunition really feels like a giant cannon hitting mosquitoes.
If everything is normal, the 12 127-mm twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns converted from the Yamato and the 24 twin-twin anti-aircraft guns of the army's one-type 37-mm modification, as well as the air defense network composed of 36 original 25-mm triple-mounted anti-aircraft guns, will solve most of the troubles in the sky, but the current Yamato has no ifs.
Along with more than 50 fighters in the sky, the Yamato was besieged by the Pingyuan, which was blocked, and the two Demain-class cruisers that followed.
After the Yamato lost the threat of the 460-mm guns, even without the devastating blow of the 500-mm guns of the third-class dreadnoughts, the two Demoin-class heavy cruisers were able to withstand the bombardment of the 155 triple guns on the Yamato, and the 203mm guns of the self-reloading MK-16 were electrically driven to sweep everything on the deck of the Yamato.
The Scharnhorst-class battle cruiser that accompanied the Pingyuan also came over to join in the fun. Joined the ranks of the toothless Yamato Tiger.
After the two 155mm turrets were also overturned, even the Cleveland-class light cruisers and Keeling-class destroyers came up to practice target shooting.
Their goals were all aimed at the naval guns on the Yamato, all with the idea of defeating the battleship and finally capturing it.
The record of sinking is always less brilliant than that of the captured battleship.
Although there are self-sinking arrangements on each ship. But after all, there is still a glimmer of hope. At the worst, you can make the best use of this actual combat opportunity.
Chen Guan and the others, who didn't know that Meng Xiang had already made arrangements, for the sake of this glimmer of hope, even the Pingyuan, which had amazing destructive power, retreated after extinguishing the main cannon of the Yamato.
……
"Attack me!" Yamamoto Isoroku, who had a long scratch on his cheek, still stood straight, despite the fact that his shoulders had fallen slightly after the last two 127mm guns had begun to weaken as the sound of the last two 127mm naval guns had begun to weaken. But then the waist pole straightened again, and while ordering his subordinates to plant bombs in various key areas, and preparing to open the sea valve, he gave orders to the Nozo who was still guarding the Yamato.
He understood what the Chinese meant, but he did not accept this humiliating way.
In order to avoid the Yamato falling into the hands of the Chinese people to the greatest extent, even the king of the mending guns was used.
The snow wind and the rain under the auspicious light were fortunate not to be too damaged, and when the main guns of the Yamato began to fail, Yamamoto had already decided to let the two destroyers bring some rescue officers and men who had fallen overboard. Including Narumi Inoue, who was knocked unconscious and sent to the Yukikaze, was the first to escape. The slightly more damaged wild semicolon remained, and the Yamato was broken together.
Relying on the huge body of the Yamato and the cover of the night, plus Meng Xiang's new instructions. Although the Japanese officers and soldiers crowded on the deck of the Snow Wind and Shiyu were bombarded into layers of flesh by the Chinese fighters in the air, they eventually escaped.
However, the Yamato and the Nobu fell into a heavy encirclement, and were ridiculed by Chinese fighters and ships all night.
When dawn came the next day, the Yamato had already come to an end.
In the end, Yamamoto, who was unwilling, still gave the order to sink himself.
Yamamoto would rather the flagship of the Combined Fleet die by suicide than add to the flaunting achievements of the Chinese.
……
"Boom!" Both of the two torpedoes fired by the Nosemicolon hit the Yamato, which was close at hand.
It's a pity that the Yamato's ability to resist sinking is too strong. Two torpedoes hit its vital point, but it was still struggling on the surface.
"Boom!" Without waiting for the field branch to continue to replenish the gun, the Demoine-class heavy patrol Jizhou had already used 9 203mm salvos to blow up this gun king.
……
"The Japanese are stubborn. The Yamato is not saved, and now there is a maximum of one round of actual combat drills! Chen Guan said calmly.
If you talk about Europeans and Americans, you can still put up a white flag, but it is very unrealistic to expect the Japanese to surrender.
After receiving the Japanese decision for the third time, Chen Guan did not have the heart to persuade him to surrender. Taking the Yamato as a target, and arranging the actual combat drill reasonably became what he wanted to do the most.
After intercepting the second wave of suicide fighters that had taken off from Okinawa last night, the Japanese were no longer capable of rescuing them. The Huaxia Navy can use this place as a practice ground with peace of mind, and there is no need to worry about anyone running out to disturb and let the cooked Yamato duck fly away.
The most variable is that the Americans are very well informed, and now they are taking advantage of the fire to loot and ask for the death of the Japanese, and most of the Japanese, who have lost the cover of the main force of the navy, can only pinch their noses and admit it.
"Don't delay too long, now go all out to occupy the Ryukyu Islands and avoid accidents!" Meng Xiang no longer cared about the Yamato, which was built at this base, and he didn't care much about the panic of the Japanese who had lost their sea barrier, he was more concerned about the reaction of the Americans.
This time, Huaxia cleanly cleaned up the last main force of Japanese naval resistance, which not only eliminated the possibility of a counterattack by the Japanese navy, but also made Huaxia's access to other parts of the Japanese mainland more unimpeded.
Without the threat of the Japanese Navy, the ships of the Brigade could drop troops and supplies directly along the coastline to every place in China to attack.
However, this victory also stimulated the Americans.
……
"The whole of China is celebrating the victory of their navy! Even Washington can hear the sound of those Chinese celebratory firecrackers! Jin, who had become a five-star general, rubbed his ears exaggeratedly and complained.
"They have the right to celebrate, after all, their young navy has defeated the old navy ranked third in the world!" Marshall's face was calm.
"It was us who defeated the Japanese Navy, they just cleaned up the bunch of water dogs!" Admiral Kim said dismissively.
He was not wrong about what he said, most of the main forces of the Japanese Navy were lost in the hands of the Americans, and the elite of the Japanese Navy also gave the Americans a lot of trouble. If it weren't for the Japanese Navy's containment, the Americans might have gained more in the European theater.
The Americans in this time and space have put in a lot of strength, but fighting on two fronts still makes it very difficult for them, even if the Japanese retreat step by step, it is difficult to eat the Japanese in one go.
But at the end of the time when it was time to pick the fruit, the Chinese people popped up again.
Last time, it was the fruit of the army and air force in Australia and Southeast Asia, but this time it was the addition of a navy to pick the fruit in Japan.
After fighting for a long time, there was not enough compensation for the battle items, which undoubtedly annoyed the Americans.
As soon as he heard the news that Huaxia had defeated the Japanese decisive fleet in the Battle of the Diaoyu Islands, and did not even wait for the final fate of the fugitive Yamato to come out, Roosevelt summoned his men overnight to discuss the matter.
The Japanese get the news faster. But when they heard the news, even if they already had a failed preparatory plan, they still couldn't believe it.
This is almost all the remaining main forces of the Japanese Navy, and even the Americans did not dare to fight against it easily, so they were easily defeated by the Chinese and almost completely annihilated?
After the news continued to come in the middle of the night, and finally confirmed the accuracy of the news, many Japanese naval officers and men who stayed behind in Japan committed suicide in despair.
When the news came that the Yamato had sunk to the bottom of the sea in the early morning of October 24 after 11 torpedoes, 34 aerial bombs of various sizes, and countless shells of various sizes, the Japanese who committed suicide climbed to a high point.
Some Japanese are completely desperate, some Japanese are becoming more crazy and vowing to break 100 million jade, and a small number of Japanese have become more sober and realistic.
"The only way to agree to the Americans' conditions is to agree! This is our only hope for revenge and rise, and if it really falls into the hands of the Chinese people, our Yamato nation will be finished! Fumiro Konoe said to Hirohito.
"Let the American army set foot on our soil again?" Hirohito made no secret of the pained expression on his face.
Whether it's a drama or a real heartache, there are always no nice words in the records of the future Japanese history books, if there are still Japanese history books in the future.
This required Hirohito to make a choice, and he undoubtedly had a decision in his heart.
"That's all there is to it!" Hirohito's tired and helpless voice sounded again. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
