The red warning light in the submarine flashes continuously, warning everyone that the submarine is in danger and must leave the battlefield as soon as possible.
"Put away the periscope and make an emergency dive, reverse at full speed to a depth of thirty meters." In the command cabin, Long Yu was calmly giving orders.
"Report, we heard the sound of high-speed propellers on the sea surface. It is analyzed that they are small escort boats. They are heading towards our area at high speed." The sonar operator's urgent voice sounded in the command room.
"Turn around and continue to dive, leave the battlefield at full speed, prepare the tail torpedo, and the preset depth is zero." Long Yu seemed to have not heard the sonar officer's alarm, but still calmly gave the command.
Four small frigates of several hundred tons on the sea have rushed out from the pier. Several 100mm caliber naval guns on the frigates kept pouring shells into the sea. When the four frigates came to the estimated sea surface, the frigates
Its tail desperately lowered barrel-shaped depth charges like a hen laying eggs, and dull sounds were heard on the bottom of the sea.
Since several frigates did not capture any trace of the submarine, they could only release depth bombs aimlessly into the water. This move had no major impact on the submarines underwater, but only exploded the fish on the seabed.
Turning over, white belly floated.
Just as these frigates were exploding vigorously, there were waves of low roars in the sky, and a group of black dots appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Quick, quick, Chinese planes, hurry up, air defense, air defense"
At this moment, a carrier-based aircraft taking off from the Pacific Fleet's aircraft carrier arrived.
The captain of the frigate loudly ordered the sailors to pay attention to air defense. Just as the sailors were hurriedly setting up the ship's 20mm machine cannon to shoot in the air. Several war eagles descended from the sky with flashes of fire under their wings and bursts of machine gun fire.
, several Japanese soldiers who were carrying ammunition screamed and fell on the deck. Their bodies were full of holes as big as bowls, and blood splashed everywhere on the side of the ship and the deck. This was the masterpiece of the F6F "Hellcat"
.
Several "Hellcats" dived and strafed for two rounds before flying away, and then several more "Dauntless" dive bombers rushed down. As their wings swung, several bombs fell on the escort boat.
There was a "rumbling" sound, accompanied by several huge water columns, and the two frigates were blown to pieces by high-explosive bombs. The remaining two frigates were so frightened that they quickly turned around and fled towards the port.
At this time, Major General Sasaki, the garrison commander of Sakhalin Island and the commander of the 155th Brigade, was also awakened from his sleep by the huge explosion. After hurriedly getting dressed, Sasaki grabbed the command knife and rushed out of the room. What he saw was a
It was a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life. Above his head, hundreds of fighter planes were hovering over the dock. From time to time, dozens of fighter planes would swoop down, and bombs would rain down on the cargo ships parked at the dock and the remaining cargo ships.
Several anti-aircraft positions were blasted, sending the unprepared Japanese troops scurrying in all directions. The shining red flags on the fuselage made Sasaki's eyes narrow.
"You bastard, come here quickly." Major General Sasaki grabbed an officer who was running in front of him and shouted: "Go and notify the airport immediately and ask them to take off quickly to intercept the Chinese aircraft, and then let the Chinese bomb our port."
It’s over”
"Hi." The major bowed and ran away in a hurry. However, before he reached two hundred meters, he was spotted by a "Hellcat" fighter plane that happened to be diving down. A flash of fire flashed past the unlucky man.
The major was shot in two by a large-caliber machine gun without even letting out a scream.
"These bastards" looked at the rampant planes in the sky. Sasaki gritted his teeth and grabbed the collar of a passing officer and shouted in a low voice: "You run to the airport immediately and order all the fighter planes to take off. Take off to meet the enemy. Do you understand? Never do it."
Let the Chinese planes continue to run rampant like this."
"Your Excellency, Commander, it's too late." The officer pointed to the direction of the airport with a sad face, "I just wanted to send someone to notify the airport to ask them to take off fighter planes to meet the enemy, but the Chinese planes were already there ahead of us.
."
As soon as the officer finished speaking, there was another roar and machine gun fire in the distance. Sasaki knew without looking that it was coming from the direction of the airport. He knew that the more than 60 planes parked at the airport would never fly.
Woke up.
"Hurry up and report to the base camp that Sakhalin was attacked by Chinese submarines and aircraft. Now all the destroyers have been sunk and the airport has been destroyed. Sasaki is determined to lead the entire brigade to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor until the last man.
, His Majesty the Emperor is on board, the Imperial Army of Japan is on board"
After reading the telegram and hastily signing his name, Sasaki, who felt desolate in his heart, knew that since the opponent's carrier-based aircraft had appeared, the Chinese's large-scale fleet would soon swarm in, regardless of whether his mere brigade was
No matter what, he can't withstand the large-scale joint attack of the other side's land, sea and air. Perhaps it is his destiny as a soldier to die for His Majesty the Emperor.
The autumn breeze was blowing, and pieces of maple leaves were falling from the trees. The yellow and orange leaves made the ground extremely beautiful, but in the eyes of Hirohito, the Japanese emperor, there was an atmosphere of solemnity. The guard had just handed over in a hurry.
An urgent telegram. Looking at the few lines on the telegram, Hirohito's hands and feet began to feel cold.
Sakhalin Island was attacked by the Chinese. Three destroyers and all surface ships were destroyed. All aircraft on the island were blown up on the runway. The Japanese defenders on the island suffered heavy casualties. Major General Sasaki, commander of the 155th Brigade, has already announced
A farewell message came, claiming that we would live and die with Sakhalin Island.
Hirohito slowly crumpled the telegram in his hand into a ball, and then a voice from the eternal ice came out from between his teeth: "The Chinese people are those despicable Chinese people, those Chinese people who only know how to make sneak attacks."
people"
Hirohito felt that he had never hated a country as much as he does now. It was this country. Three or four years ago, it was like a beggar who was bullied by him on the street. Now it can force the empire to breathe. Ha, this world is really amazing.
Already.
Hirohito finally knew that the opposite country had not been paying attention to the attack on Sakhalin Island for more than a day or two. While they were preparing for a decisive battle with the Empire's combined fleet, they secretly gathered the forces of the Pacific Fleet to prepare for a sneak attack.
Sakhalin Island, the 30 million US dollars is just a cover, because everyone on both sides of China and Japan knows that the Japanese government will not compensate even a penny to the Chinese government under any circumstances.
"Your Majesty, Prince Hirohito of Kanin Palace and a group of ministers are here to ask for an audience." A palace maid quietly walked up to Hirohito and said softly.
Hirohito remained motionless, and his dull expression remained unchanged. Only when the palace maid reminded him for the second time did he slowly turn his head and found that all the civil and military ministers headed by Prince Xuanin Palace Zairen were kneeling on the ground to salute him.
"Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself. Your body is related to the safety of the empire. You must take care of yourself." Prince Zai Ren said with tears in his eyes while kowtowing.
"Alas," Hirohito said with a sad breath: "My lords, I have been working hard since I succeeded to the throne and have been working hard for the great cause of the late emperor. But why is everything not going well? First, the imperial army was driven out by the Chinese.
The mainland, and then they were driven out of Korea. Now even the Sakhalin Island that the late emperor left to the empire is about to be taken away by the Chinese. Who can tell me why?"
"I am afraid that I am incompetent." A group of important ministers just raised their bodies and fell down again. They were all ashamed beyond words.
"Your Majesty, the plan for now is to quickly send troops to reinforce Sakhalin Island. Our Sakhalin Island must not be lost again." Seishiro Itahashi stepped forward and suggested loudly.
"Reinforcement, please ask Mr. Ban Heng, how can we reinforce the Chinese people's East China Sea Fleet is still eyeing Jeju Island. I can be sure that once the main force of our combined fleet leaves, their East China Sea Fleet will immediately pounce on them, and then they will launch a bombardment
What can we do to resist Nagasaki?" As soon as Seishiro Itadao finished speaking, the commander of the combined fleet, Admiral Go Yamamoto, retorted.
"Hmph, I didn't say that we would use the main force of the combined fleet to reinforce us. Our battleship Yamato and the new aircraft carrier "Akagi" have been launched for several months. We can send out the "Akagi" and the "Kaga".
aircraft carrier and the super battleship "Yamato" to reinforce Sakhalin Island." Seishiro Itado said coldly.
"Ha, it's so funny. When did Ban Heng-kun become an expert in naval warfare? Why don't you take off your army uniform and put on our navy uniform?" At this time, Suzuki Marine Minister said coldly and sarcastically.
"Baga, you, an illegitimate son of the Kawasaki family, have what qualifications do you have to ridicule me?" Itahashi Seishiro cursed angrily.
"Asshole, you, a guy who looks like a dolphin, dare to laugh at me, I want to duel you." Suzuki Kaixiang jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
Suzuki has not worn a command sword since he became a civilian. In desperation, he pulled out Yamamoto Isoroku's sword next to him and ran towards Masashiro Itahi. However, he was hugged tightly by Yamamoto Isoroku, who had sharp eyes and quick hands.
Already.
Seishiro Itashiro on the other side saw Suzuki rushing towards him and drew his sword and prepared to fight, but was pulled back by a group of army ministers.
"Suzuki-kun, don't be impulsive. This is in front of His Majesty the Emperor. You must not be rude." Yamamoto Isoroku whispered in Suzuki Kaixiang's ear.
Hirohito saw that both the navy and the army were glaring at each other. If he hadn't been there, they would have staged a full-scale martial arts show.
"That's it." The frustrated Hirohito waved his sleeves and walked towards his bedroom, no longer paying attention to these aggressive ministers.
