"They're coming. To fight or not to fight? Gao Zhihai said softly, and looked back at the boat Yangtze River Dacheng.

In the periscope, the Full Tide has entered the ambush circle after the Spring Rain.

"It's a pity that the King Kong class can't come!" Jiang Dacheng felt a little regretful in his heart, but he also knew that even if the Kirishima came over, their two submarines might not necessarily have a result. The Kirishima began to bombard it from a distance, and for fear of an ambush, the Manshio passed first. The Spring Rain tried to turn up the full tide several times, but was unsuccessful. The Manchao is heading straight for the Canglong, and if it doesn't attack again, I'm afraid the Canglong will be in danger.

"If you want to leave the number to attack, the Cao Mo will continue to lurk and monitor that King Kong-class battleship!" Jiang Dacheng ordered.

"Torpedo!" When the destroyer Manchao pressed the Spring Rain and approached in the direction of the Canglong, a white mark on its starboard side rushed from more than 600 meters. When it was near, the devil found out, but it was too late. The 553-millimeter torpedo hit about 1.5 meters below the water, and the explosive air flow lifted against the hull of the Manchao, and then the surrounding sea water surged, compressing the empty space to the limit, and then exploded again, and the pressure hit the hull, causing the hull of the destroyer of more than 2,000 tons to disintegrate, and the fragile armor was torn apart at once, and a large amount of sea water poured into it. Soon, the Full Tide sank.

"Sure enough, there is an ambush, continue to bombard!" Captain Masao Kanazawa never believed that the Soryu would be a lonely ship, and no one would be so stupid to expose tens of millions of aircraft carriers and let people attack them at will.

The appearance of the Ashigara and a group of torpedo boats was more like coming to the rescue, and the fact that the Manshio was attacked by a submarine proved that his suspicions were correct.

The two ship-blasters of the devil in the sky quickly flew over, followed by two Hellcat fighters and three returning dreadnought dive bombers. The devil's brain-dead division of troops made Meng Xiang overjoyed, they did not concentrate on attacking the Canglong, so the hope that the Canglong kept was very great.

The Fengxiang is over, and no one can change the fate of the sunk. The Dragon Xiang was hit by another bomb, and the ship continued to sail with its crooked hull covered in fire and smoke. But he was surrounded by more than 30 planes, and he was not far from being destroyed.

Comparatively speaking, the losses on the Akagi are the lightest, and the ships above him fly the most, worthy of being the elite of the devils, but after being surrounded by 32 hell cats and beating for a while, the protection over the Akagi has been torn apart.

"Hold on, our reinforcements are coming!" Mizuno Junyi shouted encouragement, but Nagumo Tadaichi looked up at the southern sky, which was still empty with only a few white clouds.

The main reliance on his division of troops was that their reinforcements were about to arrive.

This time, the navy's attack was not only from the local ships, but also the devil navy in China participated collectively. Realizing that the vanguard army has one or two hundred aircraft, how can they be sloppy?

Because of the limited flight range, more than 40 land planes flew over from Lushun that were responsible for attacking Yantai and Weifang and other places to attract the vanguard army. Although there was a lot of contradiction between the army and the navy, when attacking Wuhan, the Central China dispatch army relied on many ships of the navy, so Xuzhou also took off twelve army airlines to help involve the vanguard army planes in southwest Lu. The Texas area also took off 8 planes to contain it.

In the end, the main force that would take part in the attack was sixty planes from Nanjing, which transferred from Huai'an and flew directly to Qingdao.

When they received the news that the aircraft carrier had been attacked, Nagumo ordered them to turn to the first to support the ship formation. It was precisely when he heard that they had passed Lianyungang that he agreed to the Mutsu's division of troops to attack.

However, he did not know that there were more than 200 planes of the Vanguard Army, and he did not know that a new air command center had been built in Yuezhao at the Junan sub-base. He also didn't know that the radar station had already spotted their tracks.

The plane from Nanjing was intercepted by more than 30 lightning planes near Yuzhao. There was a radar station not far below their battle, which directly shielded other signals except for the communication band of the vanguard army, so the communication between the devil fighters was troublesome. Originally, their communication was prone to some failures, and at this time, a disturbance could not be contacted. The pilots couldn't get in touch with each other, let alone with Nagumo Tadaichi.

Nanjing's planes came only for bombing at first, and there were only 24 fighters escorting the escort, and it was also very difficult to face the attack of 32 thunderbolts. This operation consisted of a formation of bombers of the 1st Combined Air Force and a formation of air supremacy aircraft of the 2nd Combined Air Force.

Major General Michitaro Tozuka, the captain of the 1st Combined Air Force, saw that the fighters of the Japanese army were entangled, and thought of the telegram sent by Nagumo Tadaichi before, and also knew that the situation was critical, and proposed that the bombers of the 1st Combined Air Force return to Huaiyin first, and the 12th Air Force of the 2nd Combined Air Force shook off the grappling and rushed to support first.

Major General Tsukahara 243, the captain of the 2nd Combined Air Force, agreed.

However, because of the lack of communication, it took a lot of effort to command the command in place. The 36 bombers of the Kisarazu Air Force and the Kakaya Air Force were shot down by 5 Iraqi heavy bombers, shrunk into a dense formation, and took advantage of the concentrated firepower of the bombers to force back the attack of the thunderbolts and slowly retreated. Without the bombers, the cumbersome fighters began to break away from the grappling and flew in the direction of Qingdao.

At this time, the hull of the Fengxiang had already sunk into the sea, and the Longxiang suffered another torpedo. Half of his body also sank into the water. The Akagi received another shell from the cannon, but at this time, the ship's guns on the Mutsu opened fire. It landed near the French cannon, but that explosion had little effect on the French cannon. Shelling at close to forty kilometers, there is no accuracy to speak of. But Meng Xiang didn't plan to attack anymore, the attack of more than 40 nautical miles was enough to make people terrifying, and there was no need to expose all the secrets at once. At this time, there was only one Akagi left, and it was enough to deal with it with the aircraft of the Vanguard Army.

At the same moment, the Soryu received a 356-mm heavy artillery shell from the Kirishima, and a large hole appeared in the deck, pierced the bottom, and nearly pierced the bottom of the ship. But there was already seawater seeping in, but the sealed cabins around the Soryu played a big role. Immediately afterwards, the Kirishima was hit by the 203-mm cannon on the Ashigara, but again, it was no big deal.

However, the two shipbursts exploded directly above the head of the Canglong. The other fangs of the Canglong were exposed. The proximity fuse on the 127-mm US dual-purpose naval gun played a role, directly knocking down two ship explosions. Among them, the Type 96 shipburst was still trying to suicidally rush to the Canglong, but it was blown up in the air by 16 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns.

"Wrap it up, be sure to block the Kirishima." Shen Honglie shouted loudly. The battle reports in front kept coming, and when he heard that the Fengxiang had been sunk, and the Longxiang had also sunk halfway, Lao Shen was so happy that he almost danced with his hands. Having commanded seaplanes, he understands the value of aircraft bombing, if the Canglong is fine, these ships of the devil can be slowly worn to death by the aircraft.

The Kirishima in front of him, Lao Shen recognized it at a glance. He had seen the Kirishima from a close distance, and he would never be confused with the other Kongo-class warships.

One of the Kirishima's four 356 mm turrets has been aimed at the Ashigara in front of it. Sinking the Ashigara was also one of the goals of this time. The 16 152 mm turrets were aimed at the close foothandles. Under the one-and-a-half-minute salvo, the Ashigara received two 152 shells, one hit the side armor, which was not a big problem, and the other fell near the conning tower, and the air wave directly pushed Lao Shen down.

Heavy cruisers against battleships, those are two concepts. It's okay if you hit someone, but if someone hits you, you can be deadly, and this kind of horror is difficult to eliminate. The navy fights, except for technology, is luck. Every attack is a judgment of fate.

It was a bit worse to be hit by a 152 shell, and if it was hit by a 356 mm shell, a single shot could cripple the Ashijo.

"Two minutes of volley, don't stop!" Lao Shen got up and shouted. The two sides were more than 7,000 meters apart at this time, and the 152 shells deviated a little, but the 203-mm naval guns of the Ashigara were more threatening.

At this time, the damage to the hull of the salvo is not taken into account, and the way to save life is to send the shells to the opponent's head as much as possible.

The three dreadnought dive bombers of the vanguard that followed the Devil's shipburst formed a small formation and circled over the Kirishima and began to attack. At this time, the two Dreadnoughts who had replenished their ammunition and taken off on the Canglong also joined the attack, and in the bombardment just now, one Dreadnought was overturned by the shock wave. Limited to being attacked, the Canglong did not dare to pile up too much ammunition on the deck, and the replenishment speed was very slow. Six dreadnoughts, only two were added at this time.

Meng Xiang changed his mind, originally he bet on the Canglong, which could be used for sacrifice, but the battle situation was smoother than Meng Xiang imagined, the planes on the devil aircraft carrier did not fly much, the attack power weakened a lot, and the ship attacking the Canglong was only one ship, the Kirishima, and the hope of saving was great. The subsequent order became to protect the Dragon.

"Concentrate on sinking the Dragon Horn first." Meng Xiang instructed Long Yi, who insisted on staying on the Canglong to command the battle.

Although the personnel on the Canglong have been reduced by half, only one attack has been maintained, and all kinds of life-saving equipment are ready, but in the face of the attack of the devils, there is a danger of dying at any time. But Long Yi still volunteered to stay.

"I'm the captain, the captain of the Soryu." Long Yi said this lightly to Meng Xiang.

Meng Xiang was speechless when he heard this, this is the dignity of a soldier, and it does not need any explanation.

In the command of his subordinates, Meng Xiang generally does not interfere, but in the command of the clones, Meng Xiang often gives instructions. However, they only make strategic adjustments, and they are self-aware and do not interfere in tactical command. At this time, although the Akagi was also badly damaged, the resistance from above was still stubborn. Meng Xiang had already received 12 planes from the direction of Nanjing, and 36 planes had flown behind to support. It is much better to break one finger at the fastest speed than to damage two.

The ability to sink two aircraft carriers this time has almost exceeded Meng Xiang's expectations. As for those battleships and heavy cruisers, leave it to the shore artillery to deal with when the time comes.

Just like the current Mutsu, Kongo, and Furutaka.

When they reached a distance of more than 30 kilometers from the coast, Meng Xiang withdrew the French artillery and began to attack them. Although it was a single gun, it was easier to lock at close range, and more than 30% of the hits directly hit the 280mm shells directly above their heads.

Such shells may not be important to the Mutsu, but they are fatal to the battleship Kongo and the Furutaka Heavy Cruiser. I learned from the reconnaissance plane that after reading the information provided by Rat Er, Meng Xiang aimed the focus of his attack on the King Kong.

Meng Xiang has always been unhappy with the name of his battleship, getting an aircraft carrier is either a dragon or a phoenix, and a filthy person like himself is not worthy at all. Huaxia is the hometown of the dragon and phoenix. So stay with those boats that wear dragons and hang the wind! Even if he saw the King Kong, Meng Xiang was extremely unhappy in his heart, and the devils in later generations still came up with a new King Kong.

"Return King Kong, do you really think that you are King Kong and not bad? I'll kill you! Meng Xiangying controlled the French cannon and bombarded it continuously.

At this time, many admirals in the command headquarters were arguing.

No one could have imagined that the aircraft carrier would be so powerful. This time, it should be regarded as the first duel between aircraft carriers in this time and space. The aircraft carrier's attack method had not been recognized by everyone before, but at this time, under the repeated bombardment of aircraft, two ships of more than 10,000 tons were sunk in this way. Changing to a heavy cruiser, or even a battleship, is it the same fate?

The attack of the Canglong was something that everyone had not expected before. When they entered the headquarters, they only knew about the existence of the Canglong, and the devil didn't know about it, so they didn't take care of the sea and were attacked by the Canglong.

"This method of attack is very good, and sooner or later the aircraft will become a huge threat to the ship!" Chen Ce said that he had suffered the loss of the plane. His Flying Eagle was blown up and sunk by Chen Jitang's air force, which made him run away. So he was particularly impressed by the power of the aircraft.

"At this time, the plane bombing can only bomb some small ships, just like the battleship is still the overlord of the sea, stopping at sea, let the plane bomb it will not be unsinkable." Lin Guogeng didn't particularly support the battleships, but he couldn't help but refute a few words against Chen Ce.

"Airplanes are developing so fast that more than 20 years ago, they only sent one or two people to the sky, and now there are planes carrying 50 or 60 people. In the future, with the development of the future, it will be possible to carry heavier bombs into the sky, and it will not be long before even a battleship like the Mutsu can be sunk. Just like this time, perhaps, the aircraft of the Vanguard Army will be able to make new contributions. Chen Ce said with a smile.

He was originally stationed at the Humen Fortress in Guangzhou, but Guangzhou was lost too quickly. He still cooperated with Li Fulin of Hong Kong to use a counter-plot to lure the devils to land at Humen and destroy hundreds of devils at sea, according to the original history, his left leg was injured in this battle and had to be amputated and was called the one-legged general.

But at that time, some people in the vanguard army organized the evacuation and evacuation of people in Guangzhou, and the injured Chen Ce was treated by the medical team with the team, injected with penicillin, and avoided the danger of being infected and amputated. That's why he has a good impression of the Vanguard.

At this time, Meng Xiang's mental strength was all concentrated on the bombardment of the giant cannon, and the French cannon continued to fall on the body of the King Kong, one of which fell into the water and hit the King Kong underwater. When these old battleships of the First World War were designed, they did not consider the attack of underwater bombs, and they were blasted open a large hole, and a large amount of seawater poured into them.

But such a result can only be pushed to the head of the Second Artillery Corps, and Meng Xiang can only be silently an unsung hero, unable to say his own merits.

"Keep moving!" Takagi Takeo had forgotten Nagumo Tadaichi's advice not to be too far forward at this time, and ordered with a cold face. At a distance of more than 30 kilometers, the naval guns can also hit it, but there is no accuracy rate against the other side.

Two battleships and a heavy cruiser, plus three escort destroyers, formed a formation that sailed forward for a while.

"It's close, isn't it?" Xiao Du Junzhi said with some concern, their initial goal was just to bombard the port of Qingdao for a while, so that they were afraid of the power of the battleship's main guns. That doesn't require too high accuracy, it's more than 20 kilometers away, but at this time it is already 18 kilometers away from landing.

"Let's all fire!" Takagi Takeo nodded and named. But his words were then interrupted by a loud bang rising from the King Kong, and the French cannon hit another shot, increasing the accuracy of the cannon by 1% for every kilometer approaching. At the nearest range of ten km, it is possible to achieve a 50% hit rate. Of course, it depends on the commander's performance and luck. But as long as the cross circle is aligned with the red dot, it can basically conform to the law of hit rate.

The deck of the Kongo's ammunition depot was only 70-102 mm thick, and the 280 mm cannon shell was torn open at once, causing the ammunition inside to detonate, and the huge explosion wave even lifted off a 152 mm battery turret. Several of the sealed cabins of the King Kong were flooded, and the devil sailors immediately organized personnel to rescue them.

"Aim at the target, attack!" Takagi Takeo shouted with a grim face. Reconnaissance aircraft in the sky have already determined the coordinates of the opposing side.

After a salvo of the main guns of the three warships of different calibers and angles, Takagi Takeo was listening to the coordinates transmitted by the reconnaissance plane to correct the parameters, but he heard the screaming of huge cannons in the air, and his face couldn't help but change.

This is by no means the same as before.

"Shore artillery!" A staff officer ran in with a pale face, ran to Takagi Takeo and said in a lost voice, "There are at least twenty large-caliber shore guns firing at us on the shore. ”

"Boom, boom!" A series of loud noises confirmed what he said.
