Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

616 Get Away

After hearing what Daniel said, the other officers and soldiers all cheered excitedly.

This time, their fleet was able to sink a Japanese flagship aircraft carrier in its first actual combat engagement.

Such results are comparable to the performance of the US main aircraft carrier fleet in this battle.

They have the right to cheer with pride.

"Damn you Americans, don't run away if you dare.

Come back, come back to me."

The captain of the Japanese aircraft carrier Shokaku was a little crazy at this time. He looked at the battlecruiser Tianshu sailing away to the east and shouted loudly.

After roaring for a long time, he cried in despair.

The tilting and sinking of their Shokaku aircraft carrier continued slowly.

Even so, all the soldiers on their aircraft carrier tried their best and even made many sacrifices.

But they were still powerless to save the situation as too much water had entered the cabin of their aircraft carrier.

There were two gaps caused by torpedoes that could not be blocked at all.

The seawater continued to pour in, causing their aircraft carrier to sink little by little.

The sinking of their Shokaku was indeed doomed and no one could change it.

It was this result that overwhelmed the Japanese aircraft carrier captain, causing him to run out of the command room and roar at the evacuating Tianshu.

The captain of the Japanese aircraft carrier looked into the distance and saw that most of their heavy cruiser, the Furutaka, had sunk into the water.

The Shokaku will also become like this in a few hours at most.

At this time, there were still many Japanese soldiers struggling in the water around the sunken Furutaka heavy cruiser.

If there is no rescue, it won't be able to survive for much longer.

However, at this time, the captain of the Japanese aircraft carrier had no intention of rescuing the Japanese soldiers who fell into the water.

Because he had no choice, no way to save her.

Even the soldiers on their aircraft carrier will soon suffer the same fate as those devils on the Furutaka.

There was no fleet around in the vast ocean to rescue them.

As for the possibility that their carrier-based aircraft might fly over from behind, it would be completely useless.

By then, the carrier-based aircraft would be unable to protect themselves, let alone take them away.

"Alright, let me go with the Shokaku."

The captain of the Japanese aircraft carrier walked back to the cabin of the Shokaku in despair, ready to sink to the bottom of the sea with the Shokaku.

Otherwise, he would most likely be killed by the Japanese emperor when he returned.

The loss of a flagship aircraft carrier at the hands of the US fleet is a huge crime.

No one can protect him.

After the Tianshu sailed east for forty-five minutes, it met another destroyer that had evacuated earlier.

There were nine warships when they came, but when they evacuated, only five were left, and all of them were damaged.

Fortunately, most of the soldiers on the other four sunk destroyers were picked up by the Tianshu.

Only four destroyers were lost in exchange for destroying a Japanese landing fleet and three thousand Japanese landing troops.

One Japanese heavy cruiser, one Japanese light cruiser, and one Japanese flagship aircraft carrier were sunk.

This record is simply incredible.

Wang Chuying himself was so excited that he could hardly suppress his emotions at this moment. He himself had not expected that this battle would have such an outcome.

"Quick, call the commander back.

Report the final results.”

Wang Chuying asked someone to call Ye Qingshan back immediately.

They had already contacted Ye Qingshan by telegram before attacking the Japanese aircraft carrier Shokaku.

At this time, Ye Qingshan was anxiously waiting for the results in Australia.

There is no doubt that Ye Qingshan must be extremely anxious.

Wang Chuying asked someone to reply quickly so that Ye Qingshan could rest assured.

"From now on, all ships will turn and sail southeast.

Furthermore, each ship had to sail independently.

After making a big circle in the western Pacific Ocean, it will return to the port in eastern Australia.

Wang Chuying continued to issue combat orders.

For Wang Chuying and his team, winning this battle is the first step.

Now, they have done it, and they have done it very well.

But there is still a second step, and it must be taken well, otherwise it cannot be called a complete victory.

They must retreat unscathed without any more losses.

He not only adjusted the retreat direction of the five warships he withdrew for the second time, but also dispersed their sailing.

Ensure that all ships in their fleet can eventually return safely to Australian ports.

After hearing this, the first mate Daniel next to him pondered for a moment before he understood the intention of Wang Chuying's order.

"Captain, you are too cautious.

Are you worried that the Japanese aircraft will come after you again?"

"Ah."

Wang Chuying nodded: "It is better to be safe than sorry.

More than two hours have passed. The Japanese aircraft carrier that attacked us before should have returned to Rabaul base.

They will most likely fly back to rescue their Shokaku aircraft carrier.

Our fleet finally retreated eastward, and the Japanese on the Shokaku aircraft carrier saw it.

What if, by the time the Japanese aircraft fleet flies back, the Japanese aircraft carrier Shokaku has not completely sunk.

By then, the Japanese aircraft group will be able to catch the Japanese on the Shokaku and head in the direction of our fleet's retreat.

If the Japanese aircraft group really catches up with us, our fleet will be finished."

“So, you have the fleet change course again.

And let our ships sail separately.

In this case, even if there really is a group of Japanese aircraft behind us, they will chase us.

They probably won’t be able to find us.

Even if one of them is found, the other warships can survive.

This is really a foolproof method.”

Little did people know that nearly an hour after Wang Chuying issued this order.

There actually was a group of aircraft that appeared in the sea area where the Shokaku aircraft carrier was located.

However, the first group of aircraft that arrived was not the Army Aviation group that flew from the Japanese Rabaul base in the north.

Instead, it was a group of carrier-based aircraft flying over from the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet in the south.

After arriving here, the pilots of this group of Japanese aircraft also saw the Shokaku aircraft carrier slowly sinking.

At this time, one-third of the Shokaku aircraft carrier had sunk below the water surface.

The remaining Japanese soldiers all gathered on the remaining hull and had not yet been drowned.

"Damn, we're late.

The Shokaku was sunk."

In a Zero fighter piloting the ship, a captain of the Japanese army watched the sinking Shokaku aircraft carrier appear in his field of vision.

His expression was ugly and his heart was filled with anger.

After all, they arrived too late, and the battle here had already ended.

“The U.S. fleet that sank the Shokaku aircraft carrier can’t possibly withdraw like this.

They don't sail that fast.

Scatter and search, and be sure to find them,

Kill them.

Revenge for the Shokaku!"

The commander of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group roared loudly.

Then, he quickly made gestures and gave orders to other Japanese pilots.

The idea of ​​the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group commander was correct.

But, which direction to chase in is the question.

After all, they didn't know at this time which direction Wang Chuying and his fleet were retreating to.

But soon, they saw a Japanese flag bearer on the Shokaku signaling to them.

All the devils pointed to the east.

"The enemy's fleet is retreating eastward."

Immediately, the commander of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group understood the meaning of the flag signal.

"Chase eastward!"

So, the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group quickly turned and flew east.

(Merry Christmas everyone!)
