The Joint Fleet lost two aircraft carriers in the Battle of Shanghai, but now they still have eight aircraft carriers, more than ten battleships and dozens of heavy cruisers, and a large number of destroyers followed.

The Japanese aircraft carriers carried much larger aircraft carriers than those of Germany. For example, the Longxiang aircraft carrier is equipped with 36 commonly used aircraft and 12 reserve aircraft, with a total of 48 fighter aircraft.

The Canglong aircraft carrier directly increased the number of frequently-appointed fighter jets to 57, and there were as many as 16 preparatory fighter jets. In total, there were 73 fighter jets on the Canglong.

Therefore, the eight aircraft carriers have at least 400 fighter jets in total. However, most of these fighters are old-fashioned Type 97 carrier-based fighter jets, and only a few are new-type Zero and One fighter jets.

And this number is not afraid of even if it is directed by the US fleet. But what they encounter is not the US fleet, but the entire air force from the land defense force.

All fighter jets in the three major military regions of East China, North China and South China were concentrated, with a total of more than one thousand. They were divided into three waves and rushed directly towards the Japanese fleet.

Moreover, these fighter jets had obviously received orders and did not attack the ships below at the beginning. Instead, they directly fought with the Japanese fighter jets that took off.

When the second wave of troops caught up, they gradually attacked the civilian ships and freighters below. By the time the third wave of aircraft arrived, the Japanese army was already desperate.

The sky was filled with National Defense Forces fighter jets. During the first wave, Gao Zhihang considered the problem of the numerous fighter jets of the Japanese aviation fleet. In order to give the air force the advantage, he dispatched a total of 400 fighter jets.

Gao Zhihang sent two hundred fighter jets for the second wave. Then the third wave of fighter jets was adjusted according to the combat conditions transmitted back by the fighter jets.

The first wave of the Wehrmacht Air Force fighters were basically all interceptor aircraft. This type of fighter aircraft is equipped with 4 14.5mm large-caliber machine guns, each with 300 ammunitions. It is almost a nightmare existence for the Japanese fighter aircraft.

The tiger shark armor type even uses multi-layered 60mm thick bulletproof glass, which can even defend against 12.7mm machine gun bullet shooting in a short time.

Now most Japanese fighter jets are equipped with two 7.7mm machine guns, which is almost impossible to use the Tiger Shark Type B. If the Type 1 fighter jets were not equipped with some 20mm machine cannons, the Japanese army would have only stared at the Tiger Shark.

But even so, the damage caused to tiger sharks by Japanese fighters was extremely limited. On the contrary, a large number of tiger sharks shot down at least eighty Japanese fighters in the first wave of attacks. Most of these fighters were Type Zero and Type One.

Who said that this kind of fighter jet is the most threatening to the tiger shark?! When the second wave of fighter jets entered the battlefield, there were less than 300 Japanese fighter jets remaining in this airspace.

When the third wave of fighter jets arrived, the Japanese army's fighter jets had been reduced to 200.

Of course, the National Defense Force also paid nearly fifty fighter jets for this. The most serious thing is that search and rescue cannot be carried out on the sea. The Japanese army is now only concerned about escaping and has no way to shoot the pilots of the National Defense Forces.

Therefore, the battle continued to continue, and the Japanese army was fleeing while the Air Force was chasing.

"Swoosh swish swish swish swish...boom bang..." Another fishing boat was blown into pieces by raging rockets. The Japanese soldiers on the warship could do nothing except look at the corpses of soldiers floating on the sea with helplessness and despair.

They can't even remember which one this was. The huge fleet that originally retreated with the fleet is now only a few scattered stars trying to move closer to the destroyer.

This is their only hope. The destroyers are equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns and artillery. They hope that at least this will resist the strong attack of the National Defense Forces.

But this obviously does not have much effect. The National Defense Forces fighter jets will basically dive from high altitude. After launching rockets, they will be pulled up and climbed again. It is extremely difficult for the air defense firepower on the warship to cause damage to these fighter jets.

"Bang bang...boom!" A Type 97 carrier-based fighter was blown out by a tiger shark in the air. The pilots in the fighter didn't even have time to parachute, so they turned into a ball of fireworks in the air with his fighter.

The veins on Yamamoto Izuru's hand stormed, and he was so distressed that he shivered but could not do anything about it. This place was too far from Japan's mainland, and it was impossible for the Japanese fighter jets to have time to support it.

Even the best Japanese fighter jets now have a speed of only 500 kilometers per hour. Even if it takes off from the nearest Satsuma to the offshore of Zhoushan, which is the battlefield, it will take more than an hour.

When they felt it, the battle was probably over. Even if the first type of fighter is equipped with a secondary fuel tank, it has a range of less than 2,000 kilometers. If it arrives on the battlefield, it will not be able to fight for long.

The Navy's own fighter jets are already exhausted. All they can do now is to rush towards Japan as soon as possible.

"After notifying, all ships will immediately return to the local area at full speed! All fighter planes will be retracted and entered the hangar. Everyone should not stay on the deck, withdraw them into the ship. The damage tube is ready to rescue at any time..."

After Yamamoto Iroku was silent for a long time, he began to issue orders to the adjutant. His adjutant was trembling and recording these orders.

"Your Excellency Commander, if you do this, you will be subject to endless blame!" The commander of the First Fleet, Lieutenant General Takasushi, looked at the first order, and his heart was trembling.

Advance at full speed will mean that the army soldiers carried by those cargo ships, tankers and ordinary civilian ships will be abandoned by the navy. Anyone can think of the outcome of these ships without resistance, who are chased by the National Defense Forces after being protected by the Japanese fleet.

"I can't take care of so much now, so let's take into account our Navy's own affairs first." Yamamoto Iroku is worthy of being a famous general of the Japanese Navy. He saw the plan of the National Defense Force shortly after the battle began.

"If we don't cut off our armies now, then what is waiting for us is likely to be the result of the heavy losses suffered by the entire fleet. Although the Wehrmacht is now sending fighter jets that do not carry heavy bombs. But their purpose is obviously to eliminate our counterattack power."

Yamamoto Iroku paused and stood up and said, "Once all our fighter planes are lost, it is clear what will be waiting for us. They will send bombers and use their bombs that can sink aircraft carriers to deal with us. At that time, our fleet will face the danger of being sunk heavily. Without the protection of fighter planes, how many warships do you think we can survive this situation?!"

Takasu Shiro stopped talking. Yamamoto Iroku said this to this extent. If he didn't understand it, he would have become the commander in vain.

It is obvious that the defense force first needs to wear off the Japanese Navy's air counterattack capabilities. Then call on its own bomber to deliver the final blow to the entire Japanese fleet.

If they weren't afraid of the Japanese Navy's carrier-based aircraft, their bombers might have appeared long ago. Now, although these fighters can also cause certain damage to warships, it would be completely impossible to sink them.

Apart from sending fighter jets, the joint fleet had no other strength to resist. It was impossible to even escape. The large number of civilian ships and transport fleets on the sea greatly hindered the pace of the Japanese army's retreat.

Unless the cruel hero cut off his arm and directly abandoned these fleets and retreated at full speed. Otherwise, the Japanese Navy would encounter a devastating blow from the National Defense Forces. When they lost those carrier-based aircraft, there was no doubt that the bombers would come with heavy bombs that could sink the aircraft carrier.

At that time, this sea area will be the burial place of the Japanese Navy.

"As long as we are separated from their combat radius, they will definitely not dare to chase after him." Yamamoto Iroji said to Takasu Shiro: "But as long as we are still within their combat radius, we are facing endless blows. Do you think we, who have less than 300 fighter jets, can we stop the National Welfare Forces for now?!"

Takasu Shiro was speechless. After giving a military salute, the adjutant passed the order. The Japanese fighter planes in the air received a signal of retreat one after another.

A large number of destroyers are constantly moving closer to the aircraft carriers to cover the descent of those fighter jets.

Yamamoto Irisus's decision was quickly passed to Gao Zhihang. Gao Zhihang, who had the movements of the Japanese army, smiled: "It seems that the naval commander is really a master! We cannot achieve it if we want to achieve our goals in one battle."

This tactic was made after Gao Zhihang and Chen Shaokuan of the Navy together. In order to try to kill the Japanese Navy's vitality on the sea surface.

For this reason, Gao Zhihang even deliberately asked the combat fighter jets not to alarm those warships, creating the illusion that the Defense Forces Air Force seemed to just want to strike the retreating fleet.

But obviously, Yamamoto Izuru still saw the flaws. He chose to cut off his armies in a very cruel way. He threw the troops directly and evacuated the sea area at full speed.

Yamamoto Izuru was not wrong. Once he evacuated the combat radius of the National Defense Force Air Force, the Air Force would not dare to chase after it. The Tiger Shark's range was limited, and it could only reach 750 kilometers without an external auxiliary fuel tank.

The combat radius is only 300 kilometers long. Once the fighter exceeds this range, even if the fighter arrives, it will not be able to conduct long-term combat. At that time, it will become a 15-minute fighter like the bf109 above the UK.

"Satisfied! Don't be too greedy in life, it's almost done." Chen Haihua said with a smile on the side: "As the main promoter and commander of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, it is normal for Yamamoto Iroku to see through your thoughts."

Gao Zhihang laughed in silence. He was indeed more than one step away from those long-term generals on the battlefield. He, Chen Shaokuan, Chen Haihua and others planned the action for a long time, but was seen through at the beginning.

This really made Gao Zhihang very unwilling.

"Send bombers here! We just happened to see how effective these bombers are. If there are too many, you won't need it. Just send new bombers." Chen Haihua nodded his head in a mess. After all, old people are old and cannot keep up with young people.

"After all the steel is made of steel, and the Japanese can't fall off after a few beats. Let them try the waters, and if they do, they will send the tiger-headed moth."

Gao Zhihang nodded and saluted his commander. Only then did he truly feel that he was still lacking in the situation.

A change in Yamamoto Izuru made him feel a little helpless. However, as the commander of the Air Force, Chen Haihua could change with the change of the battle situation when the other party implemented changes.

Chen Haihua had already made the most appropriate arrangement in this shortest time. The new Kunpeng Type 1 bomber uses the all-metal skin technology provided by the United States. This bomber has thick skin and thick flesh, even if it hits the Japanese cannon, he can escape as long as it does not hit the vital point.

Chen Haihua sent such bombers to test the waters, which obviously had security considerations. As long as the Japanese did not directly destroy the fighter jets, it would always be possible to test whether the Japanese army could withstand the bombing.

Once the Japanese army shows that they have lost resistance to bombing, there is no doubt that a large number of tiger-headed moths will pounce directly on the airspace and beat the Japanese fleet on the sea.

I still need a lot to learn by myself! Gao Zhihang thought silently, and then recorded Chen Haihua's orders and ordered them.

A large number of Kunpeng Type I bombers had already been waiting for orders in the airport hangar. As soon as Gao Zhihang's order came, they drove the fighter plane directly to the runway.

Ground crew members began to busy assemble ammunition and mount "mace" heavy rocket booster bombs. This was the first batch of Kunpeng bombers produced by the National Defense Forces themselves, with a total of twelve units in exactly one formation.

The ground crew members quickly mount the ammunition and bombs with the help of machinery in just a few seconds. Then they all withdrew, and with the sound of the tower, they ordered Kunpengs to soar into the sky! They roared towards the sea where the Japanese army was located.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang

For a moment, the two sides were in a stalemate. However, the tiger sharks were not fools. Is there no way to deal with the warships?! With the roar of the machine cannons, the troops ships exploded into balls of fireworks on the sea.

Screams, explosions and flames burning were heard all the time on the sea. Except for the air defense and damage tubes, the rest of the Japanese warships retreated into the ship.

The troops transporting ships seemed to know something when they looked at the warships that were accelerating away. They kept chanting flags and lights to beg the fleet not to abandon themselves. But this was obviously useless.

The warships of the United Fleet have received orders. No warship has the intention to stop. They move closer to the aircraft carrier and then try to evacuate the sea as fast as possible in the form of formation.

"We have been abandoned! We have been abandoned by the empire..." A shrill cry sounded on the ships on the sea. The Japanese troops withdrawn from China finally collapsed and they cried loudly on the ship.

This abandonment defeated their last mental defense. Everyone felt a little sad from the bottom of their hearts.

The joint fleet abandoned them and without hesitation. Now they don’t even have the power to resist the fighter jets in the air. All they are waiting for is massacre.

But it seemed that in an instant, the war eagles of the National Defense Forces seemed to have lost interest in this kind of untechnical massacre. They simply chased the warships of the Combined Fleet and kept cleaning up the air defense fire with machine guns on the periphery.

The 14.5mm machine gun bullets, stray bullets formed by sweeping on the ship, also made many joint fleet sailors scream and lost their hands and feet and even their lives. The blood suddenly dyed the warship red, and even the plasma kept flowing down from the ship into the sea.

Yamamoto Iroku didn't expect the National Defense Force to change its tactics suddenly. But he reacted very quickly. He said to the adjutant beside him: "Contact the Imperial Base Camp immediately and ask them to send some long-range fighters to take off from the nearest airport to support. All ships have fully opened air defense firepower to form a barrage to cover the fleet. Fire smoke bombs to cover the fleet to evacuate..."

In one breath, Yamamoto Izuru issued seven or eight orders. Then, the Japanese warships on the sea began to emit smoke. For a moment, the entire fleet was blocked by the smoke.

Under this situation, the war eagles of the National Defense Forces had no choice but to take the Japanese warships, and even had to keep turning around in order to avoid the air defense firepower shot from the Japanese warships.

"Hehe! Awesome, awesome!" Chen Haihua suddenly became energetic when he received the report. He did not expect that Yamamoto Iroku would have thought of a way to deal with the Air Force so quickly.

Indeed, he really couldn't determine his position with such a fighter. In order to avoid air defense firepower, the fighter had to stay away from the smoke.

When the fleet can see it, you can also roughly determine the direction of the Japanese air defense firepower. But now you can't see anything in a ball of smoke. If you go forward, you will get the bullets and the shells will go.

"Tell the kids that some of them will retreat first. Have someone take the flyer and tell the sluts on the sea to drive the boat back, so we won't sink them. Otherwise, we will all go to the sea to feed the turtle." Chen Haihua smiled and said, "If you agree, let them raise the white flag and drive the boat back. The kids stare at it and don't let them play tricks."

When Chen Haihua issued the order, the National Defense Forces had already rushed into the port defended by the Japanese army. The sound of the tank Kerala directly crushed the Japanese fortifications. The Japanese army defending at the port were bombarded by heavy artillery into pieces and broken corpses in just a few seconds.

The large troops of the National Defense Forces have rushed into the last Japanese stronghold and began to clean up the remaining Japanese troops here. Then a new position was built to accept the Japanese prisoners escorted back from the sea. (To be continued...)
