The Japanese commander of the port, Colonel Kawasaka, felt that even if he could not fight a classic battle like the port defense battle in the Battle of Shanghai, he could still do it if he stuck the National Defense Forces for a period of time.

But when he was confidently facing the National Defense Forces, what he waited for was artillery fire from the artillery units of the three major military regions. More than a hundred artillery pieces with a caliber of 155mm were bombarded directly at the port.

The Japanese fortifications at the port were shattered under the bombardment of these large-caliber heavy artillery. The heavy artillery was directly bombarded for half an hour, followed by a cluster of tanks.

More than 30 tanks in a regiment were directly crushed to the position. Colonel Kawasaka had not yet reported from the shelling that the position had been washed away. The tank cluster rushed up, so the infantry behind naturally would not be too far away.

This battle, which Colonel Kawasaka believed that it would fight at least three hours, ended in less than an hour. Thousands of people's port guards were annihilated, and Colonel Kawasaka was directly hit by a tank's 105mm caliber artillery and even the command knife was blown away.

There was no suspense. The National Defense Force occupied the position by paying less than 300 casualties. The National Defense Force soldiers who entered the position one after another began to prepare to accept the Japanese fleets and prisoners of war who were driven back from the sea according to the order of Tu Sanpao, the commander-in-chief of the enemy.

"Don't fight, don't kill. Those ships are so good, and they can transport supplies to us. If they are broken, we have to build them. This is all money!" As a veteran of beard, Pao Ye attaches great importance to cost savings.

A loud kiln is smashed, and you can't even collect the bullet money you thrown out. That fucking beard?!

"Don't mess with those sluts. What a good coolie! Our railway and highway are still waiting for them to build. Isn't it missing a coolie if I kill one?! In the Tibetan area, it's hard to breathe. I can't bear to let our engineers and the people suffer. How great are these sluts! Even if they die, we don't feel sorry for them, right?"

The soldiers of the National Defense Forces agree with their views on the commander-in-chief. That's it! The soldiers of the National Defense Forces who have been to Tibet and Gansu know the remoteness and hardship of the place.

If you let your brother suffer, no one will bear it! If you weren't forced to do anything, you wouldn't want your comrades to go to such a difficult place to fight for life. Now, there are so many coolies who have been sent to you alive.

"Besides, there are a lot of iron ore now, but there are not many people in our hands! You all have come out to fight, and there are only a few people who work in business, farm, and go to factories... and there are not many people who go to the mine. We have to ask people to start mines, and the mine is in danger. Who will not go to these gangsters?!"

"We still have so many good land in the Northeast! Isn't it a waste to not farm?! Our Yellow River embankment and our Shu Road, all of them should be repaired?! We finally came so many coolies who are not afraid of being exhausted. Isn't it a loss if you kill them now?!"

This is so reasonable! Everyone is open-minded. The eyes of the prisoners of war have improved. They are doing cattle and horses for us, and working hard to go to the bitter and cold places for us. This is all the hope of these people. Don’t beat or scold them. At least let a few live to the place. This is what these national defense soldiers think now.

Those prisoners of war from the Southeast Asian Imperial Army do not know their destiny now. In their opinion, it would be good to survive. As long as they can escape from the battlefield where shrapnel and flesh are flying everywhere, it doesn’t matter where they go.

"Chir...boom!!" A huge splash of water exploded on the edge of the Hiei high-speed battleship of the First Air Fleet of the United Fleet. The huge impact force made Hiei sway and sway on the waves.

"Stay! The air defense firepower is fully activated! The damage tube is used to check whether the warship is normal..." Colonel Abe Takageng, the captain of the Hiei high-speed battleship, made a loud order. The warship was filled with sadness and busyness.

"Chirp...boom!boom!boom..." The bombers in the sky seemed to know that the Japanese warships on the sea were about to break away from the combat radius of the fighter planes, and a series of bombings continued to be carried out on the side of the Hiei.

The aircraft carrier has a large number of destroyers to protect. The war eagles of the Kunpeng Type 1 bomber in the sky hesitated for a long time and finally chose the battleship with relatively weak defense. This time, only twelve bombers came, and they only carried so many "mace" types, and they should not be wasted at will.

As an old King Kong-class battleship, Hiei, because its warships are old and have relatively weak air defense capabilities and are not as strict as other ships, naturally became the first choice for warhawks to attack.

"Boom!!" When the fifth "mace" type was thrown down, the good luck of the Hiei finally ended. A "mace" type hit the deck of the Hiei high-speed battleship.

A huge explosion sounded on the sea, and the entire Hiei actually shocked the ship under the huge impact of the explosion, which made the navy under the ship cut a huge layer of waves.

The huge penetration force of the "mace" directly made it rush into the warship in one breath before it exploded. The entire deck of the Hiei was blown up to pieces. The huge explosion directly detonated the ammunition depot on the ship, causing a more juliè explosion.

"Boom..." The burning fire directly swallowed the warship, and the bottom of the ship was penetrated by the explosion shells and began to pour back into the warship. A boiler had been flooded by sea water. The Hiei's speed suddenly dropped from 27 knots to 20 knots.

Just a "mace" style has almost sunk the Hiei. Although the Hiei is still insisting on it now, Yamamoto Izuru on the flagship has reached the end of the Hiei.

"...3 boilers cannot be used, and the rudder cannot be repaired after inspection... The right tilt is 15 degrees, and water is also infiltrated at the rear..." The news received by Colonel Abe Takageng is becoming more and more desperate.

Although the damage control was fully repaired, the situation of the warship was getting worse and worse. The Hiei, who was forced to reduce the speed, has now become a target for the warhawks. Because his speed has already allowed him to escape from the protection of the fleet.

"Chir...boom!!" Another mace type hit Hiei, and the second mace type, Hiei, had no chance of rescue.

The superstructure of the Hiei was almost completely destroyed in this mace explosion, and Colonel Abe Takageng and a large number of commanders were killed on the spot.

The entire Hiei machine room was completely destroyed and the mechanical room was completely destroyed. The Hiei, who had lost command, received a flag from the adjacent ship at this time: Abandon the ship.

"Boom!!" When the explosion sounded again, the Hiei had already been invaded by sea water. It was slowly sinking towards the bottom of the sea. The sailors on the ship boarded the lifeboat and left the ship in a panic.

Wei Lihui, the captain of the Kunpeng Type I bomber brigade, knew that if he pursued him, he would have to escape from the combat radius of the fighter. At that time, he would definitely not be able to get anything good if he encountered Japanese fighter jets or those fighter jets on aircraft carriers took off.

"Retreat! All Kunpengs will return immediately." Although Wei Lihui, who only sank one battleship, even regretted, he had to choose to return.

As soon as the order was issued, all the fighter planes lamented. Then they formed a formation and left the Japanese fleet below.

Seeing the fighter planes in the sky leaving, Yamamoto Iroku's face was not filled with joy. He slowly put down the telescope and remained silent. The other party was obviously very restrained, and what was restrained was their own desire to win.

Soldiers need to take risks. But soldiers need to know how to be cautious. If a commander does not know how to be cautious and pursues adventure, he will have a great possibility of bringing his troops to death.

Carefulness may lead to a loss of a fighter opportunity, but imprudentness may lead to losing one's own troops and one's own troops. The grasp of the measurement between caution and adventure tests every commander.

Obviously, the commander of the air force opposite had a very good grasp of this degree. When they had just arrived in the combat airspace, they knew that the fleet was about to sail out of the combat radius of the fighter jets.

Therefore, they risked the intensive air defense firepower and began to bomb the fleet's battleships one after another at the huge risk of being shot down. But after achieving one battle result, the commander was not blinded by his own battle result.

Instead, he calmly realized that the fleet was about to sail out of the combat radius of those fighters. He did not take risks but chose to evacuate immediately. In fact, if these bombers dared to stay, Iroku Yamamoto would choose to let all his fighters take off and shoot them down without hesitation.

But these bombers chose to withdraw, but Yamamoto could only watch them leave. With more than a hundred fighter planes escorting in their airspace not far away, Yamamoto would not take the risk of letting his fighter plane die.

"Save the survivors of Hiei, and the air defense firepower will stop. Smoke will be emitted again, and all fighter planes will be prepared. Once the smoke has dissipated, it will start to take off for escort..."

Yamamoto Izuruojiuojiuojiuojiuojiu issued a series of orders again. Then he entered the office alone and told everyone not to disturb him without any matter.

"Ziheng. According to you, did we win or lose in our fight with Yamamoto this time?!" In Chen Haihua's office, the Air Force Commander looked at his beloved general with a smile.

"We lost. We lost completely..." Gao Zhihang smiled bitterly. At the beginning, the Air Force had all the advantages in this battle.

But even so, they still had no way to defeat the joint fleet. Their results were just one battleship and about two hundred Japanese fighter jets.

Although it seemed that the war resulted in great success, the joint fleet retreated in an orderly manner without any hurry or slowness. It broke through the air force's blockade in one breath. Although they were forced to leave the escort fleet, they were only injured.

The Hiei is just an old battleship, not even a fearless battleship. Even after being modified, it is an outdated old man. Losing one ship will be ineffective for the joint fleet.

Although the losses of 200 carrier-based aircraft are a bit huge, the Navy is now just when changing clothes. Those old-fashioned Type 97 carrier-based aircraft are outdated, and the new Zero and One-type carrier-based fighters are the main force in future naval operations.

It is a pity for those pilots to lose. But Japan, which has huge aviation school training resources, can quickly train a large number of pilots again. As long as they have experienced a few actual combat, they will become qualified carrier-based fighter pilots.

Therefore, the Air Force made a careful calculation this time with almost all efforts, but in fact the losses caused to the joint fleet were not large. Gao Zhihang said that he lost, and he was convinced.

It's like you took out the mountain-opening axe and was about to kill your enemy directly. Even if you can't kill him, at least remove his hands and feet. But after a long time of hitting, you will hit him with a little bruises on his butt.

This seems to be your winning, but in fact, you took out your all-out strength and trump card but did not even make the other party even reach the point of bleeding. This has to be said to be a failure.

Gao Zhihang and others thought of ways and formulated tactics again. After a long time of busyness, they were broken by Yamamoto Izuru.

Although some losses were still caused and even soldiers who retreated from the army were captured, the strategic purpose of severely damaging the joint fleet was not achieved.

Even Yamamoto Iroku almost paid too much price and led his fleet to orderly jump out of the air force's attack circle. This has to be said to be the failure of Gao Zhihang and others.

"It's normal for us to lose. Yamamoto Izuru is not a small person. Being able to plan to attack Pearl Harbor and succeed has shown his ability." Chen Haihua smiled and comforted Gao Zhihang: "We have already won the battleship and those carrier-based aircraft. That battleship and those carrier-based aircraft are considered a big deal! Of course, we won't be completely the first time."

After a pause, Chen Haihua said supremely: "I asked you to command this time, and I also want you to know the difference between you and those famous generals. It is rare to fight with someone like Yamamoto Izuru. It would be good to get a bargain."

"Go! Practice the kids well. This time we have gains and losses. Let's report to the research institute. We now need long-range fighter jets. Although the tiger shark is good, the range is a big problem."

At this time, the imperial capital had already received the news that the Air Force had made the final perfect end. It sunk a Japanese battleship, destroyed more than 200 fighter jets, captured more than 40,000 Japanese soldiers and a large number of transport ships. This heavy result made the entire coalition government so excited.

The Chairman of the United Government informed the whole country of this victory, and announced that the United Government had expelled all Japanese forces in China! Next, the United Government and the Defense Forces will fulfill their obligations as allies to launch a full-scale attack on Southeast Asia.

As soon as the news came out, the whole country cheered. The United States first sent Roosevelt's handwritten congratulatory message to congratulate China on its phased victory in this war. It also expressed its appreciation and support for Chairman Lin Sen's willingness to fulfill his obligations and responsibilities as an ally.

Then, the congratulatory message was sent by the Soviet Union. The congratulatory message sent by the Soviet Union was worthy of fun. They first congratulated the victory of the coalition government and the National Defense Forces.

But then the topic changed. I hope everyone can make efforts on military mutual trust and mutual visits. At the same time, I expressed that I hope that the two sides can communicate in military, industry and civil affairs to consolidate their bilateral relations.

In order to show sincerity, the Soviet Union withdrew the two armies on the border to the troops with only one army left. Chairman Lin Sen of the coalition government expressed that he welcomed the Soviet Union and China to conduct mutual visits and interactions between the two sides.

After the Soviet Union, Britain, Free France and others sent congratulatory messages to congratulate China on its phased victory. Although Germany and Italy did not send congratulatory messages openly, some of the "businessmen" who remained in China secretly transferred congratulatory messages, including Hitler and Mussolini.

To put it bluntly, although Japan is also one of the Axis powers, these two countries look down on Japan. On some levels, they feel that the Defense Forces are closer to them.

"Yujiro Yamamoto, this person is not easy to deal with..." Behind the noisy, the senior officials of the coalition government cabinet were holding a meeting. Chen Honglie took the battle report submitted by Chen Haihua and sighed: "This person is amazing!"

Chen Honglie looked at the battle report and put himself in more than once and asked himself. Can he choose to give up those fleets evacuating at full speed under such circumstances?!

In the end, he couldn't deceive himself, and he felt that he couldn't do it if he was Chen Honglie. In other words, if he was the one who commanded the joint fleet, the likely result would be that Gao Zhihang and the others would be plotted against.

Even if you escape in the end, the loss will not be small.

The hero cut off his arm, but how many things can be done? Moreover, this decision made by Yamamoto Iroku will undoubtedly cause him to be criticized by the army after returning to the country.

The Navy Department was unable to save him. This time, almost all the transport ships in Japan were lost, and even included all the civilians. For a long time, Japan had no way to obtain resources from Southeast Asia.

This is fatal to Japan, which lacks resources now. And Yamamoto Iroku, as the commander who gave up these ships, will undoubtedly take the blame.

Those who have lost their ships and loved ones will use their anger to drive Izuru Yamamoto to hell.

"I guess we don't have any chance to fight Yamamoto Izuru. At least in a short period of time, he has no way to command the troops." Chen Honglie coughed lightly and said, "This time the loss is so great that even if the Japanese cabinet wants to protect him, he has to leave him idle for a while."

"To deal with the fleet, it still needs a fleet." Tu Menghu spoke at this time, but saw him looking at Chen Honglie and said, "When will our aircraft carrier be repaired?!"

"At least half a year. This is still a rush to work." Chen Honglie heard his commander-in-chief mentioned the aircraft carrier and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The Jiangnan Shipyard is basically aborted. Many technologies are outdated, and now they are learning from scratch. Fortunately, the foundation is still there, and we have found many old workers. But it will take time to repair aircraft carriers and battleships..."

Tu Mengben couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. What the National Defense Forces lack the most now is time. With Japan's industrial capabilities, they will soon be able to build a large number of transport ships. By then, as long as the Southeast Asian route is restored, they will be able to obtain Southeast Asian resources continuously.

"Let's start with Southeast Asia first! Zhizhou Gong of the Southwest Military Region has been too late." Chief of General Staff Su Zongzhe smiled and said, "Let's take down Myanmar and Vietnam first. At least give some explanation to the United States, right?" (To be continued...)
