"It's a pity that Yamamoto, this little devil, is not fooled, if only he divided his troops! It's much easier to destroy one way and then the other. Chen Ce sighed.

"I didn't expect Yamamoto to be fooled. What if the fleet of little devils comes together? Let's beat it together! Shen Honglie didn't care.

"It's just that the cost may be greater! Some of the seedlings that were cultivated with great difficulty may have to lose some this time. Chen Shaokuan looked around and sighed, "After all, our navy is still too short to build, and the funds invested in all aspects before are insufficient, resulting in a lack of talents." Looking at a naval school of this scale for the Japanese, it is no wonder that the Japanese Navy can dominate for a while. ”

"What can the Japanese Navy do, and now their cherry blossoms are not the same?" Chen Ce sneered and stepped heavily on the somewhat charred black land on Jiangtian Island.

After the two entrances to the Seto Inland Sea were blocked, the entire Seto Inland Sea became the territory of the Kaga Navy. The remnants of the Japanese navy around the Seto Inland Sea, including the Shikoku side, could only be beaten and were powerless to fight back. And Etajima, which was the cradle of the Japanese Navy, was also stripped of its protection, and it was exposed in front of the naval guns of the Chinese Navy.

With the Huaxia Air Force monopolizing the surrounding airspace, even the order issued by the base camp for the evacuation of the instructors and trainees from Etajima became an extravagant hope.

"We will sacrifice our lives for the country like the cherry blossoms are falling!" Those trainees who had become fanatical did not care about the order to retreat, and spontaneously organized early, singing the school song of the Jiangtian Naval Academy, vowing to fight to the death against the Chinese army that landed on the island.

But before they could wait for the landing operation of the Chinese army, they were first subjected to the naval artillery bombardment of the approaching Chinese warships, and the bombers above their heads never stopped. Even the hidden forts and underground bunkers built on Eda Island were accurately named by the vanguard cannons erected near Hiroshima.

"Even if we use artillery shells to sink the entire Etajima, we will not lose." When Meng Xiang was formulating the entire offensive plan, he specially circled the Japanese Navy's West Point Military Academy-Etajima, and even changed the instructions to keep as many materials and equipment as possible and loot as much as possible, and set the order from the very beginning to completely destroy the entire Etajima Island with the flames of war.

In the eyes of Meng Xiang, who has always valued people. Compared with the material harvest that may be on Eda Island, harvesting those Japanese Navy seeds on Eda Island and exterminating the future luck of the Japanese Navy is the biggest trophy.

Etajima, which carries the glory of Gonbei Yamamoto and Heihachiro Togo, the fathers of the Japanese Navy, is the holy place of the Japanese Navy, and the resumes of most Japanese naval generals in World War II are printed with the origin of Etajima's "sea soldiers". Every cadet who studies here can be said to be the absolute elite of the Japanese Navy. The unexpected loss of any one person can make the Japanese regret, let alone so many future stars who were destroyed in the war together.

When the Seto Inland Sea had just been blocked, the Japanese, who were in dire straits, had already taken the initiative to give the order to evacuate. And sent transit planes and submarines to transport, and used all means to rescue and evacuate.

And Meng Xiang didn't dare to be sloppy, worried that the night would be long and dreamy, so he no longer grinded, no longer considered material gains, but ordered the fire to cover and directly annihilate any living creature on the island, and even the dozen or so ships used by the trainees on Jiangtian Island for training were directly blown up by air raids.

Having lost their ships, those elite seeds of the Japanese Navy on Etajima were no matter how good they were. In the face of the continuous attacks of the Chinese army, it was just a dead fish that jumped on the shore.

As the Navy landed fleet bypassed the huge craters of heavy hits left by the Vanguard cannon, through the smoke bilitted up by incendiary shells. While clearing the battlefield with assault rifles and flamethrowers, Etajima, which had been subjected to shelling and aerial bombardment for two days and two nights, could no longer hear the cries of the sailors, but more of a desperate groan and the crackling of flames burning and bursting in the ruins.

In less than three days, the news that Jiangtian Island had been conquered and cleaned up reached China, and those Chinese Navy veterans couldn't hold their breath and asked to visit Jiangtian Island one after another.

In the face of the increasing renewal of the world's navies, new technologies and new tactical applications such as submarines, aircraft carriers, radars, and naval and air coordination have emerged, and those veterans who have been stuck in the naval concept of the era of the empire on which the sun never sets. It's a little out of step with the times. As the young admirals trained by Meng Xiang gradually grew up, Meng Xiang did not hesitate to put on a black face, so that people like Chen Shaokuan and others, and even old qualifications such as Shen Honglie, gradually withdrew from the front-line command. And give more opportunities to those young generals.

This is the shining of many fast-rising naval stars such as Chen Guan, Wang Xiu, Cheng Dalong, Li Dayan, Bao Yaoping, Qian Chao, Lin Chi, and Cao Han.

In this decisive battle with the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet, in addition to the nominal balance of the clone generals, it is still the young generals who are in charge.

Those veterans who worked as advisers at home couldn't bear to be idle, and finally had an opportunity to engrave the words "Visit here" on Etajima, the holy site of the Japanese Navy. I couldn't help but ask one after another.

Just considering that a plane crash, or even a cold gun, it is easy for these veterans with the rank of lieutenant general to become the enemy's bragga-off achievements, Meng Xiang hesitated slightly.

After another 3 days of cleaning, the news that it was finally confirmed that it was safe under the search of the cloned dogs came, and Meng Xiang agreed to the request of this group of veterans.

Fortunately, the entire Seto Inland Sea has been controlled by China, and it is difficult for the Japanese fleet to penetrate, and most of the airspace of the Japanese mainland has become a free place for Chinese fighters to gallop freely.

When Yamamoto Isoroku saw that there was no hope of rescuing Etajima, and finally decided to attack the Huaxia Navy near Keelung and ordered the fleet to set off, this group of veterans also set foot on the land of Etajima.

Although Jiangtian Island is full of ruins, it still retains some of its original appearance under the rapid landing raid of the Chinese Marine Corps. It is enough for these veterans to have a good time with the joy of cutting off children and grandchildren of the Japanese Navy.

However, the news that the Sino-Japanese navy was about to fight a decisive battle in the advisory headquarters that came with them made them unable to settle down, and they did not leave the topic of this decisive battle in three sentences.

"If you sink all those Japanese warships, I'm afraid the Japanese won't even think about the navy for decades!" Zeng Yiding said with a smile.

"Also consider the Navy? Looking at the posture of Ribai, I am afraid that the Japanese will not even be able to protect the country! Shen Honglie replied with a smile.

"Then it depends on the outcome of this naval battle! If the Japanese are defeated by a big beat, the Japanese will be completely finished this time! Chen Shaokuan said with emotion.

……

"There is no way out of our rear, we are the last hope of the Empire. It's all up to everyone! Yamamoto Fifty-six stood expressionlessly in the Yamato's conning tower and said in a deep voice into the intercom.

The reconnaissance plane had already spotted the warship of the Huaxia Navy near the Diaoyu Islands, about 150 nautical miles ahead, and the naval battle that would decide the fate of Japan and its own fate was about to begin.

He knew very well in his heart that compared to the bombing of the Okinawa base, after Etadao was occupied by the Chinese shelling, the Japanese Navy really had no way to retreat.

After the news of the collective hiccups of the cadets on Eda Island came, Yamamoto understood that there would be a discontinuity in the talent of the Japanese Navy, and that Huaxia, which owns the five major naval schools of Laohutan in Dalian, Liugong Island in Weihai, Chongming Island in Shanghai, Mawei in Fujian, and Changzhou Island in Guangzhou, is continuously sending a large number of outstanding talents to the Chinese Navy.

Moreover, according to the intelligence obtained by the Japanese, more than a dozen shipyards in China are also building warships.

If it is not possible to defeat the Huaxia Navy now, the chances in the future will be even slimmer. The longer it drags on, the more passive the Japanese will be.

This was also an important reason why he ignored the danger of the Okinawa base in the rear and continued to move forward and go straight to the Huaxia fleet.

Only a victory can bring a ray of life to the Japanese and him.

Yamamoto, who ordered no more attacks on the Seto Inland Sea and refused to support Etajima, has already been criticized by all sides, and may not even be able to maintain his position.

Although everyone knew that the news of the fall of Etajima was slim, the chances of being recaptured were slim, but the Japanese Navy's feelings for Etajima made them unbearable to give up.

"We will avenge the revenge of Etajima! As long as we defeat the still immature Chinese navy, and no longer have the Chinese fleet to threaten us, we can bombard their ports and cities into ruins little by little, and send the pain to the Chinese people! These are the words of Yamamoto in the face of the criticism and invitation of Etajima alumni to fight.

At that time, it was unwise to rely on warships to fight against the vanguard cannons and hordes of fighters that shook China, and only by striking at China's naval power, which was still in the growth stage, was the only way to fight for the fortunes of Japan and China.

"Victory or defeat in one fell swoop!" Yamamoto Fifty-six once again glanced at the information on the movements of the Huaxia fleet transmitted by the reconnaissance plane, stabilized his mind, and shouted in a deep voice: "Attack!" (To be continued)
