Chapter 977: Another Battleship Appears

"I made a mistake after all!" Yamamoto Fifty-six was no longer the cold arrogance he was when he came, nor was he calm when he had just encountered a surprise attack by the Huaxia air fighter group and took the initiative to counterattack, and his still standing figure was a little bleak and lonely at this time. ,!

When the Huaxia fighter group gradually controlled the entire sky, the fate of the Japanese decisive battle fleet had already surfaced in his mind.

"Retreat!" Such a simple command struggled painfully in his mouth for a long time before he spit out bitterly.

Losing the cover in the air, the battleship formation will definitely kill itself if it resists the attack overhead and fights with the Huaxia Navy.

Although he was very reluctant to admit the defeat of this naval battle, he must be decided, and if it was delayed, the entire fleet might be involved. That would mean the destruction of the Japanese Navy in the recent Chinese offensive, and even the eventual sinking of the entire Japanese Empire.

"The main force of the fleet will go back, and with the help of the geographical advantage of the port fortress, it may be able to support until the time of reconciliation with the Americans!" Yamamoto thought.

He did not think about rejecting China from the country, as there were fewer and fewer Japanese fighters in the sky, it also represented the end of an era for the Japanese HNA Airlines, and the lack of enough qualified pilots for the HNA would make it difficult to even protect itself in the future. As for the land aviation, it is also in the consumption of China and the United States, leaving a bunch of rookies and bird eggs. Otherwise, there would be no kamikaze attack.

Yamamoto, who has seen the course of China's resistance against Japan, understands that relying on kamikaze attacks cannot frighten the Chinese people who are not afraid of death, and at most can make Americans have more scruples. If the Japanese Navy retains more confidence, it will be able to gain more initiative in peace talks with the United States.

As for himself, although he will not be dragged out and given to the Americans as a scapegoat because of various intricate relationships, he will definitely lose his chance with the core top after this failure.

However, he couldn't care about these things, and the most important thing he needed to do was to let the main fleet of the navy, which had been piled up with the efforts of the Japanese, safely evacuate.

"Evacuate to Okinawa!" After thinking about it for a while, Yamamoto realized that he was arrogant and was disturbed too far by the Huaxia people by the nose.

The nearest harbor for evacuation from the vicinity of the Diaoyu Islands is Ishiheng Port on the Yaeyama Islands in the Sakishima Islands and Heira Port on the Miyako Islands.

But Yamamoto understood that since the Japanese lost air superiority in the face of China, they began to shrink their air defenses. The skies of these two ports are not defended at all. Relying only on the decisive battle of the underground fortifications excavated everywhere, the decisive battle was an attempt to dispel the idea of the Chinese people to storm the island. The fleet went there in vain, and it was even more miserable to be trapped in the harbor and bombed.

The only way left is to return to Okinawa. It's a long way. I didn't feel anything when I was high-spirited and bent on fighting, but I only felt that it was difficult to move forward at this time.

No matter how fast the ship runs, it can't be faster than the plane. Along the way, they will also be attacked from the air.

But at this time, it is a matter of the survival of the Japanese Navy and even the future of Japan, and Yamamoto can only admit it.

"As long as it's arranged properly, the loss is still acceptable." Inoue Narumi also agreed with Yamamoto's approach on the side.

The two of them were even thinking about sacrificing those few warships to save the entire fleet.

But without waiting for the battleship Hyuga to lead the team to withdraw, the losses of the main battleships of the Japanese were reported one after another.

The Toyohei of the highest level of the heavy patrol named after the Toyohei River of Japan. First, it sank in the sound of martyrdom caused by the two 907-kilogram bombs dropped by the Skyraiders.

By this time, the Japanese had a heavy patrol of the highest ranks, including the three top ships purchased from the shadow company, except for the Mogami that was replaced by Meng Xiang's tanuki for the prince and was still with the Yamato, the other 6 ships were already sleeping peacefully on the bottom of the sea.

Immediately afterwards, the Agano-class wine hook was bombarded by another second-class dreadnought-class battleship Jiyuan, which was inserted on the opposite side, and it lasted less than ten minutes before being completely sent to the bottom of the sea by a bomb carried by a banshee that dived down from the air.

So far. The four Agano-class light cruisers have also found their home at the bottom of the sea.

Yamamoto's flagship, the Yamato, was supposed to rush up against the Jiyuan. But at this time, a 500 mm caliber naval artillery shell fell, directly smashing the Yangyan-class Hamakaze not far from the Yamato. Stopped the idea of the Yamato going up to fight.

"The people of China have another battleship. It's a dream! It's a dream! Listening to the rapid call from a Caiyun reconnaissance plane, Yamamoto made up his mind to speed up the evacuation.

If it is said that the second-class dreadnought battleship of the Zhenyuan class, the Yamato still has the strength to fight, and the third-class dreadnought battleship of the dream class, Yamato can only give up the name of the king of battleships.

"A 500-millimeter cannon! Maybe only Super Yamato can compete with it! It's a pity ......" Yamamoto Fifty-six was sad.

With the tide of super battleships set off by Meng Xiang, Japan stopped the construction of the last 2 ships of the Yamato class, the 110 Shinano was changed to an aircraft carrier, and the other 111 was directly stopped and began to build 2 super Yamato.

It's a pity that until now, the 510 mm caliber naval guns have never been able to meet the requirements. What's more, the Wu Navy Factory, which built one of them, has fallen into the hands of the Huaxia people, and there is no news that the super battleship, which has been built 60%, has been blown up.

Fortunately, the other ship was placed at the Yokosuka Naval Yard in order to balance the interests of the various forces.

However, at the moment, the Japanese are in dire need of aircraft carriers, and based on the experience and inspiration gained from the Shinano, this super Yamato has been redesigned and rebuilt as an aircraft carrier.

As a result, Japan no longer has a battleship that can compete with the Huaxia Dream class battleships.

It's about quantity. When the decisive battle fleet departed, Yamamoto replaced all the aircraft carriers, leaving the Nagato-class to guard Tokyo Bay.

Most of Japan's battleships during World War I, as well as those acquired from the Russians and Germans, have been decommissioned and dismantled under the restrictions of the Washington Treaty, and those battleships in service have been exhausted in naval battles one after another.

The Fuso-class, Ise-class, Nagato-class, and Yamato-class, including many Nagato and Yamato-class purchased from outside, are now only the Nagato, Yamato, and Hyuga, and even the four Kongo-class battlecruisers have all been killed.

In order to protect the safety of the vicinity of Sagami Beach, the Japanese even opened the façade of the Hanoi-class Settsu, which had long been decommissioned and reduced to a target ship.

And the Yamato and Hyuga were sent here to suppress the battle against the two Zhenyuan-class battleships of the Huaxia, but the Huaxia had one more Dream-class super battleship. Both in terms of numbers and performance, it overwhelmed the Japanese decisive battle fleet.

The three-rank dreadnought battleship Zhiyuan, which made a strong appearance, did not rest easily, and the muzzle of the gun was raised and bombarded directly at the Yamato, which was 27 kilometers away.

The Japanese didn't know who was the behind-the-scenes host of the umbrella company that enthusiastically helped repair the repeatedly injured Yamato, and because the Yamato-class battleships that had spread all over the world were no longer classified as top secret and were no longer tightly fortified, they naturally didn't know that the Yamato had been dropped, and they suddenly didn't know that the Yamato, which had its back door wide open, was like a firefly in the darkness at this time, so distinct and outstanding.

If it weren't for the need for military training, the dreadnought battleship with the assistance of the smart brain could easily lock on to the target and directly smash the firefly down.

But Rao is like this, and the officers and men of the Chinese Navy, who also dispatched the elite to carry out the mission, still came to shoot accurately, and directly sent a nearly 2-ton armor-piercing bullet to the Yamato at a distance of 27 kilometers.

"Boom!" The huge explosion sounded the sound of metal crashing and rubbing, but the huge wound of more than 20 meters long that was torn on the port side of the Yamato is vivid, and it is not the worst, the explosion of more than half a ton of explosives inside the Yamato has added heavy internal injuries to the Yamato.

"Evacuate quickly!" The mountain, which had staggered up from the ground, had no time to pick up his military hat and shouted again.

"Boom!" In the distance, the Jiyuan cannon fired another salvo like a mosquito, directly smashing the Nagara light patrol and sinking.

The fire that reflected all kinds of garbage rising from the huge whirlpool came from a pine-class destroyer, the Mei, which had been beaten by the banshees and the Sky Raiders, and the anti-aircraft fire of the Akizuki-class Frost Moon next to it was in vain to try its luck in the sky, but nothing else was done except to damage one Sky Raider.

However, an Akizuki-class Kagetsu that accompanied the Hyuga was affected by the super battleship's mutual assault, and the huge explosion of the Jingyuan's near miss directly lifted it into the sky, and then smashed into the sea water, never to float up again.

The Hyuga was so busy dodging the trails of more than a dozen torpedoes that it didn't care about the little brother next to her, and even almost knocked over the Yangyan-level Wufeng who rushed up to block the torpedoes for it.

But the auspicious light of the Yukikaze beside it was always shining, and after the Hyuga was bombarded by two torpedoes in a row, the slow Maikaze, which was damaged in the impact, sank into the sea under the bombardment of a 463-kilogram aerial bomb.

"Retreat!" Yamamoto Fifty-six saw the pillars of smoke and flames lit on the Japanese battleships, and he couldn't help but feel sad and urged weakly.

"One more Dream-class battleship has appeared behind us!" The exclamation from the Caiyun-type reconnaissance plane in the air came again, constantly reporting bad news, "The Dafeng is sinking, and the rear needs support!" (To be continued)
