"It's over!" When he saw that the sky had just been cleared and cleared by the storm, and the sky was once again covered with black and oppressive dark clouds composed of Huaxia fighters, Halsey had only one thought left in his heart.

The catastrophic typhoon just now has swept all the planes on the deck into the sea, and even the anchor chains holding the planes on the deck have been torn apart. The fighters in the hangar were also basically destroyed by the back and forth shaking and impact. At this time, the remaining 7 Essex-class aircraft carriers and 2 light aircraft carriers will definitely not be able to fly more than 20 fighters.

And the red dot representing the Chinese fighter in the sky has densely covered the display of the radar on his flagship Montana-class battleship Guam.

Although there were still brave American pilots who flew 12 fighter jets, in the blink of an eye, more than 60 pandas were beaten into fireballs and umbrella flowers by the air that pounced on them.

At this time, a larger fire ball rose on an Essex-class aircraft carrier, and the B-29 bomber group in the air did not care about the interference of American fighters and 127mm anti-aircraft guns on ships, and threw a cabinet bomb to hit the target.

Just one almost killed the USS Bennington. Even if the 15*11 meter hole on the deck didn't tear it open, it was directly paralyzed there motionless, and it could only be passively bombed.

"Boom!" Not long after, another huge pillar of fire rose up, and the aircraft carrier Hancock also won the bid under the unhesitant throwing of the Huaxia bombers.

"What about our air support?" Rear Admiral Bogan aboard the Dreadnought shouted to Halsey.

Everyone understands that being beaten passively like this is a dead end. Without even air cover, it was difficult for them to even retreat. Even at night, it still could not stop the air raids of Huaxia, and even the torpedoes galloping from the night were even more terrifying.

"They're coming!" Halsey could only comfort his men in this way.

At the moment when he saw the surprise attack of the Huaxia people, the signal to ask for help had already been sent. Whether it is the Philippines, which is also suffering from typhoons, or Japan, which is facing off against China's air power, or the air force or even the army aviation on Irian Island, which is even closer. Even the Navy lost face this time and couldn't take care of it. Tens of thousands of Army and Navy soldiers who had fallen into the water needed help, and Halsey did not dare to delay or hesitate.

In addition to the Philippines, where complaints were made about the bad weather and the inability to rescue, both Japan and Irian Island played a role in organizing personnel to come to the rescue immediately. But it is also doubtful that their fleet will be able to support them until they arrive.

The attack of the Chinese was so frenzied that Halsey almost thought that he had encountered a Japanese suicide team.

The roar of the Skyraiders even brushed the cold scalp of the American sailor's hat, and in the blink of an eye, the criss-crossing torpedoes that could not be counted made the Americans' scalps tingle again.

The Chinese people's move of throwing bombs and torpedoes with their hands and feet was different from the stinginess of the Japanese, and the Americans tasted for the first time the power of saturation fire attacks to add to their own bodies.

"Another one!" Halsey covered his face and leaned back on the podium.

So far, three aircraft carriers have been seriously damaged, and the USS Bennington, the first aircraft carrier to be heavily damaged, also sank directly with 3 torpedoes and a second cabinet bomb.

In the evening, the cries of the sailors who fell into the water on the sea were constantly bursting out in the flames and smoke, and they stirred Halsey's heart.

They couldn't hold out for long without rescue, and while the waters of the tropics wouldn't take away their temperature anytime soon, many creatures in the tropics were particularly sensitive to the smell of blood, and shark fins represented killing and death in an era when environmental protection was not needed. What's more, there are those army landlubbers who fell into the water on the troop transport ship before, and I don't know if they can hold out until they repel the attack of the Chinese.

"Damn, you're murdering!" There was a commotion outside the door of the command room.

"Colonel, you can't go in! If you take one step further, I'll shoot! The guards at the door shouted loudly.

"Take your gun, in front of you is Army Colonel Charles." A hoarse voice screamed.

"Colonel, it's wartime. Look outside, we're at war with the Huaxia! Intelligence Lieutenant Colonel William's cold figure sounded.

"You cowardly and incompetent goats! Now you should save my men who have fallen into the sea and have not yet climbed up, instead of wasting rescue time in this doomed battle! The Charles immediately responded with a curse.

"Enough!" Halsey, who was usually very easy-going with people, was suddenly roared by the admiral of the sailors, and immediately made the quarrel at the door disappear, leaving only the constant sound of explosions and the roar of anti-aircraft artillery outside.

"Sir, emergency electricity!" After a few moments, Lieutenant Colonel William came in at the door, and with a little hesitation, he handed over an urgent telegram.

Halsey didn't say anything, just swept the empty doorway, turned on the secret telegram and looked at it, but just glanced at it, Halsey felt dizzy in front of him, and almost fell.

There is a lot of content in the emergency call, but it is full of bad news.

U.S. airfields in the Philippines, which were less affected by the typhoon, were attacked from the ground and from the air in many parts of the Philippines, making it difficult to support them for a while.

The U.S. Air Force and Army airfields stationed on Irian Island were also attacked by a fleet of Chinese aircraft from Kalimantan and northern Australia, and were similarly difficult to support. Even though the more than 40 fighters that flew up were entangled by two Chinese aircraft carriers in the waters south of Mindanao.

The Chinese air force on the Japanese mainland also launched a large-scale aerial bombardment of Shizuoka and Sen, so that the fighters provided by Japan had to be reduced in size, but even the more than 50 fighters that promised to support were intercepted by the Huaxia fighters near Taiwan.

Halsey, who felt that he didn't need to look closely, already understood that air support was hopeless.

In this way, the entire fleet really has only one dead end, or there is another one, directly put up a white flag.

As soon as the war began, the persuasion of the Chinese people to surrender had already begun. But once the white flag was erected, the future of the five-star general that Roosevelt had revealed to him was completely gone, and Halsey still flatly refused. But now, even if the white flag is not raised, I am afraid that the best outcome will be nothing more than capture.

Halsey stood silently for a moment with his hands on the podium, and finally a huge explosion rang out again, causing the man who was good at organizing aerial bombardments to hang his head in pain.

"Tell Washington about power generation! We are ready to hoist the white flag to the Chinese people. Finally, he said in a low voice, "Order to go down, and hurry up and organize personnel to rescue the officers and soldiers who have fallen into the water!" Combine...... Ask for help from the Chinese people! ”

……

"These losers! I really don't know how to cherish! The Yankees were beaten and naturally surrendered! Why are you blowing up and sinking so many ships! Shen Honglie shook off the report of this naval battle and regretted it vigorously.

During the repeated attack by more than 800 Chinese fighters that lasted for more than two hours, the Americans' three Essex-class aircraft carriers, one light aircraft carrier, two heavy cruisers, one light cruiser, and three destroyers dragging the wrecked bodies were sunk.

In Shen Honglie's view, according to the joy of the Americans agreeing to surrender, maybe if they continue to press, the Americans can even directly present the entire fleet with their complete hands, wouldn't it make him feel sorry for these warships that may be in their hands.

"There aren't many opportunities to beat up the water dogs. If you don't fight, the Americans will not surrender easily! Meng Xiang's smile couldn't be suppressed, "Now this situation is already very good!" The two battleships had been instructed in advance, and they didn't take many bombs, and they could be used after a little repair. Moreover, the remaining 5 aircraft carriers can be used with a little repair except for one that is seriously damaged. There are also 3 heavy cruisers, 2 light cruisers, 4 destroyers, and a lot of auxiliary ships, which is a lot of money! ”

Of the 5 Montana-class battleships that the Americans have now served, in addition to 3 of which are made at the base, the other 2 are produced by the Americans themselves.

Because the three ships purchased were all named after the colony, this class of battleships was simply called the Hawaiian class, which also made Halsey's flagship named Guam. It's not base-built, it's genuine American, and it comes with an Iowa-class battleship, the USS Kentucky, which is also not affected by the base.

Of the 23 Essex-class aircraft carriers served by the Americans, eight of the other 19 were sunk in the battle with the Japanese, and eight of the other 11 aircraft carriers in the Pacific were all handed over to China during this campaign.

Although the US factories are constantly building new aircraft carriers, as well as a dense number of escort aircraft carriers and light aircraft carriers, they cannot pose much threat to China in the Pacific Ocean in a short period of time.

Without the threat of the US Navy, relying on the fight for the army and air force, Huaxia is not afraid at all.

Meng Xiang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and was fortunate to have survived.

Because since the war with the Americans, there have been real problems with the bases. (To be continued)
