Fortunately, at the critical moment, several destroyers stood in front of us!
"Boom boom boom! Thud thud thud!"
The destroyer was sunk on the spot, and the resulting waves almost capsized the entire ship!
"boom!"
"boom!!"
"boom!!!"
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"
The remaining Japanese submarines, under the onslaught of depth charges, could not hold out for long and exploded one after another.
Blood and flesh were flying everywhere on the seabed, and severed limbs floated on the surface!
The entire battle lasted forty minutes.
Looking at the horrific scene, Yang Wenhai felt as if his heart was being torn apart. He forced himself to calm down and asked, "What are our losses?"
The chief of staff looked grim and said in a low voice, "Four aircraft carriers were sunk, five were severely damaged, and eighty-three battleships, cruisers, and destroyers were sunk, not counting those that were damaged."
"What?!" Yang Wenhai's eyes widened, almost bulging out of their sockets!
The National League for Democracy Navy has never suffered such a blow since its establishment!
"Damn it!!!"
Yang Wenhai gritted his teeth, his resentment was palpable. He slammed his fist on the table, his fingernails digging into the edge of the wooden table, bleeding without him even noticing.
"Leave some ships to rescue people, and the main fleet will continue eastward. I must sink the entire Japanese Combined Fleet!"
"yes!"
...
Meanwhile, the Japanese combined fleet had already left Ryotsu Island and was advancing southwest in formation.
On the flagship of the Combined Fleet, the battleship Yamato, Yamamoto Isoroku stared solemnly out the window, his eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown.
"Commander, the Zero fighter pilot who just managed to escape said that our air force has been... completely wiped out..." the adjutant beside him reported with a sorrowful expression.
After a long silence, Yamamoto Isoroku said in a chilling tone, "Pass down the order: all ships, prepare for an air raid!"
"Yes, sir!" The adjutant immediately turned and ran out.
...
The sea was calm and peaceful.
The sky was strangely bright, with dark clouds covering the sky and lightning flashing and thunder roaring!
"Boom! Crack! Crash!"
A torrential downpour suddenly descended!
In an instant, the once azure sea turned pitch black, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face!
Streaks of lightning raged and crisscrossed the sea!
The waves rolled and roared, making one's heart tremble as if it were the end of the world!
"Whoosh! Boom—Boom—"
Immediately afterwards, the buzzing sound of propellers scraping the air could be heard, coming from afar and getting closer.
"Boom!"
"Whoosh—! Whoosh—! Whoosh—! Whoosh—! Whoosh—! Whoosh—! Whoosh—!"
Isoroku Yamamoto saw a huge black shadow rushing towards them through his telescope.
That was a formation consisting of Me-262 jet fighters, He-111 bombers, Fi 167 carrier-based torpedo bombers, and Ju 87D dive bombers.
The quantity is terrifying!
There were over a thousand of them!!!
"Enemy attack! Sound the alarm!"
"Enemy attack! Sound the alarm!!"
"Enemy attack! Sound the alarm!!!"
"Woo-! Woo-! Woo-! Woo-! Woo-!"
A series of shrill air raid sirens blared from all parts of the Combined Fleet.
"Bang! Bang! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!"
Suddenly, a ball of fire rose up around the fleet, followed by a barrage of anti-aircraft shells raining down on the sky!
"Da da da! Bang! Da! Bang!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sound of anti-aircraft guns echoed across the seabed, followed by a continuous barrage of deafening explosions.
One after another, the National League for Democracy's warplanes were shot down.
On the Combined Fleet's side, all the stockpiled aircraft from more than twenty aircraft carriers were unloaded, and instantly, more than three hundred Zero fighters and Me-262 jet fighters were intertwined.
"Da da da da da da da—!"
Sparks flew everywhere, and the gun barrels spat out scorching flames.
Every second, at least twenty fighter jets were destroyed, bursting into flames and crashing into the sea!
The pilots of the National League for Democracy were all bloodthirsty, desperately maneuvering their fighter jets and strafing the enemy fiercely!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Bang bang bang!"
"Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!"
The explosions from the fighter jets became more and more frequent, sparks illuminating the dark night sky, and smoke filled the air!
One by one, Zero fighters disintegrated in the air or were burned to ashes by the intense heat, eventually crashing into the sea.
On the lead Ju 87D dive bomber, Air Force Chief of Staff Lin Hu picked up the radio beside him and shouted, "Attention all formations! Attention all formations! Our primary target is the Japanese aircraft carrier in the middle!"
"Secondary targets are battleships! Especially the Combined Fleet's flagship, the Yamato!"
"Brothers, let's get home alive!"
After saying that, Lin Hu hung up the communication device.
"Wa ...
Subsequently, the Fi 167 carrier-based torpedo bombers and Ju 87D dive bombers launched an attack on the twenty-odd aircraft carriers in the center of the Combined Fleet.
The He-111 bomber formation then dropped bombs in mid-air.
"Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang—!"
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang—!!"
"Bang bang ...
Huge bombs, trailing long fiery tails, streaked across the night sky as they flew toward the Combined Fleet.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
"Boom!"
