Devil's Army

Captain Du and his men were no longer able to reinforce the Japanese Fifth Fleet in Haikou City, and were now fighting the Japanese Air Force in the air.

At this time, a Hua Xia III fighter squadron from Kunming escorted three H-2 bombers towards Hainan Island.

The Chinese 3rd Fighter Squadron did not receive Captain Du's telegram for help, but came to cover the bombers that were transporting artillery shells.

As soon as the reinforcements of the First Army's fighter planes arrived over Hainan Island, they immediately engaged in a fight with the Japanese fighter planes.

When the First Army pilots saw their reinforcements coming to them, their confidence grew, and they were strafed even more fiercely by the Japanese fighters and bombers.

As the air battle continued, more and more Japanese fighter planes were shot down.

The Japanese air force also fell into a disadvantage from its numerical advantage and was put in a passive position of being beaten.

On the Haikou Port side, the Japanese Fifth Fleet has arrived at the port.

Two Japanese marine corps of the Fifth Fleet disembarked one after another to reinforce the Japanese Hainan Island base in Haikou.

After more than two hours of air fighting, Captain Du and his men launched a full-scale attack on the Japanese Air Force.

The Japanese air force could not hold out and began to retreat towards Shantou Airport and Guangzhou Tianhe Airport.

Captain Du and his men did not pursue the Japanese air force, but instead attacked the Japanese Fifth Fleet that arrived at Haikou Port.

The flagship of the Japanese Fifth Fleet was the heavy cruiser "Myoko", which had 36 light cruisers, destroyers and minesweepers under it. It was much more powerful than the fleet sunk by the First Army Air Force last time.

Only part of the Japanese Fifth Fleet was sent to reinforce Haikou Port this time. The other part of the Fifth Fleet, led by Commander Lieutenant General Kondo, was participating in the battle in the Southeast Asian island countries.

A part of the Japanese Fifth Fleet, reinforced by the Japanese army, rushed towards Haikou Port with murderous intent under the leadership of Captain Ikeuchi, the captain of the flagship heavy cruiser "Myoko".

Captain Du, who defeated the Japanese Air Force, led his army's fighters and bombers to attack the Japanese Fifth Fleet in Haikou Port.

The anti-aircraft firepower of the warships of the Japanese Fifth Fleet was fully opened, forming a fire network that rushed straight into the blue sky to stop the attack of the devil force's pointed aircraft.

Captain Jia, who was training at Sanya Port, asked Commander Zhang for permission to join the battle.

The three Japanese warships captured in the last battle have been initially repaired and can fight against the reinforcement fleet of the Japanese Fifth Fleet together with the two captured warships.

Commander Zhang rejected Captain Jia's request.

On the one hand, their five warships were too small to match the 13 Japanese reinforcements.

On the other hand, although the Hainan Island Navy was established more than three months ago, the actual operation time on board ships is less than one month, making it difficult to form effective combat effectiveness. If things go wrong, the Hainan Island fleet they have worked so hard to establish will be completely destroyed.

Although the anti-aircraft firepower network of the Japanese Fifth Fleet was fierce, from time to time a group of fighter planes and bombers broke through the anti-aircraft firepower network and continuously strafed and bombed the Japanese fleet.

From time to time, Japanese warships were hit and caught fire, but the First Army's bombers and planes were also hit and smoking.

At this time, the Army Aviation soldiers took advantage of the Japanese army's full air defense and released the only eight remaining Golden Eagle III drones, flying at ultra-low altitude over the sea towards the Japanese Fifth Fleet.

The Japanese army discovered the Golden Eagle No. 3 drone group flying close to the sea surface. But at this time, several aviation soldiers had already locked onto the two Japanese warships behind.

Four air-to-ground missiles whizzed towards the two Japanese warships at the rear.

Although the Japanese warships tried their best to evade, they were still hit one after another.

The two gun turrets of the two warships were blown away, and a hole was blown in the hull of the last warship below the waterline, and the sea water rushed into the warship.

Upon seeing this, Captain Ikeuchi temporarily let go of the Marines who were coming to support the landing and sailed away from Haikou Port at full speed.

Captain Du led the pilots to chase and attack the Japanese fleet, but they were fiercely strafed by the Japanese fleet whose anti-aircraft firepower was still intact.

In order to maintain the air threat, Captain Du ordered to stop the pursuit and return to Lingshui Airport and Sanya Airport.

The artillery shells shipped from the Kunming headquarters had not yet been delivered to the front line when Japanese Marines arrived.

The soldiers of the Second Regiment of the Third Division had entered Chengmai County and were driving the Japanese troops toward the north gate. Unexpectedly, the Japanese Marines rushed in from the north gate, and the artillery launched a fierce bombardment on the soldiers of the Second Regiment.

The Second Regiment, lacking artillery, could not withstand the fierce bombing of the Japanese Marines and retreated step by step.

Seeing that Chengmai County was about to be lost, the captain of the third company who was in charge of the rear guard made up his mind and decided not to retreat.
