Devil's Army

Chapter 1707: A Tragic Victory at the Battle of Port Arthur

The commander of the Japanese light aircraft carrier battle group originally thought that the Devil Force Navy was vulnerable and that it would be a waste of talent to transfer their aircraft carrier battle group to support them.

I didn't expect the Devil Force's aviation and flaming artillery shells to be so powerful.

Seeing that it was difficult to defeat the Devil Force's air force and navy, and the aircraft carrier "Ruikaze" was seriously injured again, the commander had no choice but to order the aircraft carrier battle group to retreat.

The First Army's navy fought hard against the Japanese fleet in Port Arthur and the reinforcements of the Japanese light aircraft carrier battle group, but many of its warships were severely damaged and withdrew from the battle. Now it was unable to intercept the Japanese light aircraft carrier battle group.

However, Leng Feng asked them to capture as many of the Japanese aircraft carriers as possible to fill the gap in the First Anti-Japanese Army's aircraft carriers.

The less damaged warships of the First Army abandoned the fleeing Japanese warships in Port Arthur and pursued the Japanese aircraft carrier "Mizukaze" at full speed.

The First Army's air force also increased its bombing of the aircraft carrier "Ruikaze" and its surrounding frigates.

The aircraft carrier "Ruikaze" was severely damaged and its speed has dropped to below 15 knots, seriously slowing down the retreat speed of the aircraft carrier battle group.

The commander had no choice but to order the other warships in the aircraft carrier battle group to evacuate the Port of Lushun at full speed.

The frigate on the left side of the "Ruikaze" aircraft carrier retreated a little slower. Its bridge and driving room were continuously bombarded by the air force and the main guns of the "Hainan Island" cruiser. The power system was seriously damaged and the speed dropped to about ten knots.

The Japanese "Mizukaze" aircraft carrier battle group left behind the cruiser with its anti-aircraft firepower completely lost and the frigate on the left to accompany the "Mizukaze" aircraft carrier, while the other warships retreated at full speed.

The Japanese commander also transferred to a nearby cruiser by small boat.

The remaining warships of the First Army cut across in front of the aircraft carrier "Mizukaze" and bombed the three Japanese warships in an attempt to force them to stop.

The First Army's fighter planes also continued to fire at the three Japanese warships, which had no anti-aircraft firepower.

Several naval officers of the First Army who knew Japanese shouted at the aircraft carrier "Mizukaze" to stop the ship and treat the prisoners well.

But the more they shouted, the more difficult it was for the arrogant Japanese naval officers to accept surrender.

The aircraft carrier "Ruifeng" and the two warships next to it still stubbornly and slowly moved in the direction of the fleet's retreat.

The navy's calls were ineffective, and the First Army's bombers continued to bomb the Japanese warships' cockpits and bridges.

Under the continuous bombing of the First Army's bombers, the "Ruikaze" aircraft carrier and two nearby warships were successively shut down.

The First Navy launched a dangerous boarding and capture battle against the three Japanese warships.

After a fierce battle, the First Navy wiped out the Japanese troops who were resisting stubbornly on the aircraft carrier "Mizukaze" and the frigate and cruiser next to it.

In the Dalian and Port Arthur naval battles, the First Army won a tragic victory over the Japanese Dalian, Port Arthur and "Ruikaze" light aircraft carrier battle groups with the Hainan Fleet and two-thirds of the Huludao Fleet's ships severely damaged.

Fortunately, the damaged warships were successfully evacuated from the battlefield under the cover of the air force and returned to Huludao Shipyard for repairs.

This battle was also the one in which the First Army Air Force suffered the greatest loss of fighter planes in all the battles with the Japanese army.

In this battle, more than eighty brave pilots of the First Army died in the sky.

During this battle, more than 120 fighters and bombers were deployed at Fengtian and Jinzhou airports, and 50 fighters and bombers were added to the Kunming Aircraft Manufacturing Plant. However, after the war, no more than 40 fighters were still able to take off.
