Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers

"Bageyalu! Bageyalu!"

Major General Akiragawa, commander of the Japanese naval squadron, said viciously that he wished he could jump up and shoot all the planes of the 72nd Army into the sea. This was really infuriating.

He now felt that the Japanese Navy was a joke. At the request of the Japanese Army, the headquarters approved the Japanese Army's plan. At that time, what they were most worried about was the Air Force of the 72nd Army. The Japanese Second Flying Division repeatedly assured them that no matter what decision the Air Force of the 72nd Army made, they could guarantee the safety of their skies.

Is this your guarantee now? Hundreds of small black dots have appeared in the western sky. Two reconnaissance planes have been circling overhead, even beyond the anti-aircraft artillery. Where are the planes from your Second Air Division?

"Report to the Commander, we have contacted our aircraft carrier, but it is now out of the support area..."

When the Second Flying Division was useless, Major General Mingchuan knew that they were unreliable and had to rely on the Navy's aviation force. However, he did not expect that the Navy's aviation force would retreat early. The last time the aircraft carrier remained silent in Qingdao was something that all Japanese naval officers remembered very clearly. Therefore, after the failure of this air battle, the aircraft carrier immediately turned 180 degrees and retreated to the deep sea at full speed.

"How dare they? We are all members of the navy, and they are retreating without caring about our lives?"

When Commander Mingchuan said this, he suddenly understood in his mind that if we were notified to retreat together, the aircraft would not slow down locally and would go directly to the deep sea to search. At that time, the two aircraft carriers might not be able to escape.

But if you don't notify this naval squadron, you can be used as a shield to delay the attack of the 72nd Army Air Force. Use your warships to stop the 72nd Army's planes, and then the two aircraft carriers will quickly retreat to the deep sea. To put it bluntly, these dilapidated warships have been betrayed, and your role now is a meat shield?

No wonder the 2nd Flying Division had ordered them to retreat an hour ago, but the fleet commander on the aircraft carrier did not allow them to retreat, and even scolded the cowards of the 2nd Flying Division, asking them to stay on the shore and that the naval aviation would provide them with protection.

Being stabbed in the back by one's own navy was something very difficult to accept. The surrounding officers and soldiers were unaware of it and kept cursing the Second Flying Division. After Commander Mingchuan figured this out, he wished he could give the warship wings and keep the two aircraft carriers. You are from the navy, are we raised by a stepmother?

At this moment, three Stuka bombers made a sharp sound and dived down from the sky. Two bombs were dropped into the water and one bomb was dropped on the bridge of a destroyer. The fire rushed to a height of dozens of meters. A 500-ton bomb hit a destroyer, and the destroyer was basically dead.

Commander Mingchuan closed his eyes helplessly. This was just the beginning. It was impossible to stop these planes by relying on the anti-aircraft machine guns of these broken warships. Most of the warships were from the First World War and did not have many anti-aircraft weapons.

Of course, even if your warships are equipped with anti-aircraft weapons, you will have no chance of winning against the more than 80 dive bombers in the sky. Without the interference of Japanese aircraft, these more than 80 aircraft quickly divided their tasks and began to dive into battle.

Some Japanese troops on the shore also saw it. Today was supposed to be a happy day. The positions of the 72nd Army, which they had been unable to capture for a long time, would be torn apart by the Japanese Navy's naval guns today. They were also waiting for the moment that could be written into history.

But now they did not see this scene. Instead, they saw their own warships being attacked by the bombers of the 72nd Army, and they looked extremely helpless at sea.

"Where's our plane? Where did our plane go?"

"Hurry up and call for air support, or we'll lose these warships. These are warships that His Majesty the Emperor built by reducing his own expenses."

The Japanese soldiers on the shore shouted loudly. Although they did not want to see how powerful the Japanese navy was, they also knew the financial situation of their country. Every time they saw a warship, they had to tighten their belts.

In order to successfully build the navy in the early years, His Majesty the Emperor cut his meals from three to two, and people across the country followed suit, thus establishing a navy that ranks among the best in the world.

Are we unable to hold on now? They are not willing to accept this. In the impression of these people, we are a powerful industrial country and China is a backward agricultural country. However, on the real battlefield, these identities seem to have been swapped.

They had witnessed the entire day-long aerial duel. At the beginning, they were in high spirits, thinking that they could defeat the 72nd Army's air force today. After all, we had deployed as many as eighty or nine hundred fighter planes of various types. But now the situation seemed to be completely different. It was us who were actually defeated, because the 72nd Army's planes were reaping the fruits of their victory, while our fighter planes could no longer be found.

Just as they were shouting, the ammunition depot of a treaty-type cruiser was blown up, and a fireball a hundred meters high rushed up on the sea. The front and middle part of the entire warship bulged upwards. The keel must have been broken, and a half-meter crack appeared. The sea water rushed in desperately, and the warship was obviously doomed to fail.

The other warships also suffered various attacks, and it was only a matter of time before they were hit. The bombers in the sky were lined up waiting to attack. They were no longer prepared to swarm in because they saw that this fleet did not have strong anti-aircraft firepower and there was no support from other Japanese air forces in the air. So they turned this war into a training exercise, and groups at all levels slowly took turns to fight.

The confidence of the Japanese army soldiers was shattered. It was supposed to be a day of victory, and many people thought it was a very beautiful day, but after the defeat of the air force, they once again saw how the navy had been ravaged.

All the warships of the squadron were hit by bombs at this moment. Looking from the land to the sea, every warship was burning with flames, and there were constant explosions. Should this war continue?
