Devil's Army

The Japanese left-wing fleet had to exchange artillery fire with Captain Chen's Hainan Island fleet, and also had to avoid the strafing and bombing of the fighters and bombers of the Devil Force in the air. The formation was already in chaos and in a state of embarrassment.

Captain Du took two wingmen to attack the flagship of the Japanese left-wing fleet.

The flagship of the Japanese left-wing fleet, whose anti-aircraft firepower network had been severely destroyed, could only use the remaining anti-aircraft machine guns and an anti-aircraft gun to shoot at Captain Du and his men.

However, this small amount of air defense force was quickly destroyed by the 3mm machine guns of Captain Du's three fighter planes.

A warship that loses its anti-aircraft firepower is like a lamb to be slaughtered by aircraft.

The bombers of the First Army then flew over and launched a fierce bombing on the flagship of the Japanese left-wing fleet.

The Japanese soldiers on the flagship fired their guns into the air in vain to comfort their panic.

Under the bombing of the Fourth Air Squadron of Hainan Island and the aircraft of Kunming Headquarters, the flagship of the Fourth Fleet of the Japanese Army was finally bombed to the left, and seawater poured into the warship from time to time.

The officers and soldiers of the Japanese flagship asked their Captain Takashima to leave the flagship in a small boat.

Captain Takashima and a dozen officers and men on the flagship took a last lingering look at the flagship, then boarded the boat and prepared to leave.

Captain Du and his men, together with the aircraft from the Kunming headquarters, launched the final wave of fierce strafing and bombing on the flagship of the Japanese left-wing fleet.

Before Captain Takashima and his crew's boat could leave the danger zone, the flagship sank to the bottom of the South China Sea amid a series of "boom..." sounds.

Captain Takashima's boat and the Japanese naval officers and soldiers who escaped on the surrounding sea were sucked into the whirlpool.

With the sinking of the flagship of the Japanese left fleet, the battle against the Japanese left fleet came to an end.

The escort ships on both sides of the Japanese flagship also rushed to the bottom of the sea to accompany their flagship.

The most unlucky one was the destroyer not far from the flagship. The destroyer, which had been bombed to the point of almost losing power, was sucked into the whirlpool created by the sinking of the flagship and the escort ships on both sides, and sank to the bottom of the South China Sea.

Subsequently, Captain Chen's Hainan Island Fleet and the First Army's aircraft intensified their shelling and bombing of the three remaining warships on the sea.

At around 12 noon, the great air battle over the waters of Haikou City, Hainan Island finally came to an end.

Of the three remaining warships of the Japanese left-wing fleet, one was sunk, and two were bombed to the point of losing power and drifting on the sea.

Captain Chen began to organize officers and soldiers to board the two cruisers and a frigate that had lost power, but they were met with stubborn resistance from the Japanese troops on the warships.

Some officers and soldiers of the First Army's Hainan Island Fleet who were climbing the cables to jump shifts were shot and fell into the sea.

Upon seeing this, Captain Du came roaring in with two wingmen, circled in the air above the three warships, and continuously strafed and suppressed the Japanese firepower points on the warships.

The officers and soldiers of the Hainan Island Fleet successfully boarded the three warships and began to clear out the remaining Japanese soldiers on the three warships.

After less than an hour of fierce fighting, the officers and soldiers of the Hainan Island Fleet wiped out all the Japanese soldiers on the three warships.

After clearing out the Japanese soldiers on the three warships, Captain Chen began to command the fleet to tie cables to the three warships and tow them back to Sanya Port for repairs.

Captain Chen and his men left four Japanese warships that had lost power near the artillery position on the sea, drifting with the waves.

The Japanese captain asked Commander Kondo for help.

Commander Kondo knew that his left wing fleet had been completely destroyed and he himself could not be saved, so he had to order them to abandon their warships and flee to Wenchang County.

In the evening, the Japanese troops on the warship took advantage of the dim sky and fled to Wenchang County in a small boat.

Those Japanese soldiers who were unable to board the boat used various means to find means of crossing the sea and swam towards Wenchang County.

At this time, the artillery of the Beigang Island Coastal Defense Artillery of the 1st Army discovered the Japanese boats and launched a fierce artillery fire towards the sea.

The Japanese boat that was secretly sailing towards Wenchang County rose and fell in the waves caused by large-caliber grenades.

A grenade landed near a Japanese boat, and the huge shock wave blew the Japanese boat into the air.

The Japanese soldiers on the boat fell from the sky into the sea like snowflakes.

The Japanese boats hit the Japanese soldiers swimming in the water. The Japanese soldiers who swam to Wenchang County with lifebuoys and wooden boards were shot and killed by the coastal defense artillery bombardment.

In the end, most of the Japanese troops who wanted to sneak back to the nearby Wenchang County sank to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish under the fierce bombardment of the coastal artillery, and a small number of them successfully escaped back to Wenchang County.
