Chapter 204: Continuous Attack
After four rounds of attacks, there was no intact building left on Honolulu Island!
There were traces of bombing everywhere, flames shooting up into the sky everywhere, wailing, cries for help, crying, and all kinds of noisy sounds filled the entire Honolulu Island!
Monbastov also had many scratches on his body. Looking at the scene in front of him, he felt as if he was in a purgatory on earth!
The entire island of Tanshan has become a hell! The scene before our eyes is like the end of the world!
At this moment, the battleship Texas has completely sunk to the bottom of the sea! Only a section of the mast is left standing upright on the sea surface, reminding people that there was once a huge ship here!
"The Eastern Ocean Fleet is finished!" Monbastov said stupidly.
"General, General! What should we do?" The adjutant said to his superior with a look of despair.
"General!"
The calls from people around him finally woke Monbastov up, and the veteran finally regained his true character as a general!
"Quick! Organize rescue immediately! Rescue the wounded! Send a telegram to Priman! Tell him that Honolulu Island has been attacked, and ask him to hide quickly! Avoid being discovered by the enemy!"
"Let them hide? Shouldn't they come back to support us?" the adjutant said with an incredulous look on his face!
"Yes, that's right! Tell them to get as far away as possible! Their aircraft carrier has no carrier-based aircraft, so it's a sitting duck! Tell them to get as far away as possible!" Monbastov seemed to have understood the decision made by the higher-ups at this moment! He also seemed to understand the inexplicable exercise order from before!
He even thought that the higher-ups seemed to have known about this attack a long time ago! The Eastern Ocean Fleet was betrayed by its own people! All he could do now was to try his best to protect the safety of this aircraft carrier formation! Otherwise, the Eastern Ocean Fleet would really be a complete failure!
Two hundred nautical miles away from Tanshan Island, the Japanese combined fleet was a sea of joy!
Only twelve of the more than three hundred planes were lost! Considering the results achieved, this loss can be ignored!
"General, this is destined to be a day that will go down in history! Your achievements will surely be remembered by future generations!" Chief of Staff Takushi Asano said respectfully.
"No, Asano-kun, this is our common achievement! This is the achievement of all our naval officers and soldiers!" The brave man said to Nan indifferently.
"General, judging by the damage, the naval base on Honolulu Island has been completely destroyed! Should we continue?" Asano asked.
"Well, our expectations have been met. Order the fleet to prepare to return!" said the brave man Xiangnan proudly.
"Hi!"
The flagship then raised the Rising Sun Flag, representing a victorious return!
"Is he crazy! How can he return? The main force of the enemy fleet hasn't been destroyed, so why is he returning like this?" Qingtani Kawaichi, commander of the first aircraft carrier formation of the Combined Fleet, slammed the table and cursed.
"General! We didn't find any trace of the enemy's aircraft carrier in the naval port! But the airport is full of carrier-based aircraft! I suspect they have spare ammunition depots and oil depots in the mountains!" Colonel Fuchida Hirano, the commander of the carrier-based aircraft, was also dissatisfied with the order to retreat! At this moment, their morale was high, and they should have struck while the iron was hot and sent out as a whole to continue to expand the results of the battle!
"Nan Yong Xiangnan is a fool! The Imperial Navy will be destroyed in his hands sooner or later!" Qing Guchuan cursed.
"Send power to the flagship, we request another wave of bombing! If possible, send the battleships forward to cooperate with the carrier-based aircraft! We must completely destroy Honan Island! Otherwise, the empire's attack with all its national strength will fail!" Qingtani Kawaichi shouted loudly.
His decision was certainly in line with the wishes of the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers! How could they just withdraw when they had such a big advantage! Especially the battleship formation, which came all the way here to serve as the guard of the aircraft carrier! Their own 460mm cannon also had to take some credit!
"Is Qing Guchuan, that bastard, going to rebel?" Looking at the telegram below, Nan Yong Xiangnan couldn't help cursing. Nan Yong Xiangnan thought that at this time, the expectation had been achieved. If they were to dwell on it too much, they would probably be entangled by the enemy's reinforcements! This joint fleet was the main force of the entire empire, and there couldn't be any loss!
"Report! The reconnaissance plane discovered a frigate in the southeast waters!" A junior officer suddenly ran over and said.
"Oh? Frigate? Could it be the enemy's aircraft carrier formation?" Asano Takuishi said as if he suddenly thought of something.
"It's very likely! According to intelligence, they left the port the night before yesterday! They shouldn't have gone far, they should be nearby!"
"Oh no! General! The aircraft carriers Kirishima, Kumogiri, and Chizuru have once again launched their carrier-based aircraft!" an officer nearby shouted in horror.
"What! Is Qing Guchuan going to rebel?" The brave man Xiangnan hurried to the side of the bridge to check, and sure enough, a plane on the aircraft carrier not far away took off again!
"Baga! This bastard!"
"General, what should we do?" Asano asked helplessly.
"Qing Guchuan is such a bastard! When I return to the empire, I will definitely send him to a military court! Everyone sail south!" Nan Yong Xiangnan finally said helplessly.
"Send a detachment to search southeast! Look for the enemy's aircraft carrier formation! Since you don't want to leave, then stay and solve these troubles once and for all!"
"The general is wise!"
When the Japanese planes flew to Tanshan Island again, many people were completely desperate! Tanshan Island had completely lost any ability to resist!
Or in other words, they have given up resistance!
The Japanese planes were becoming more and more reckless! They were almost flying over people's heads! They were recklessly shooting at the panicked crowd below!
"General, you don't see how cowardly those Texans are! I really regret that our Marines didn't come along! Then I think we could easily land on the island and occupy it!" Mitsu Ogasawara said to Kiyotani Kawa with excitement.
"This place is of no value to us. If you want to occupy it, we can occupy it at any time. Haha! Ogasawara-kun, we have found the enemy's aircraft carrier! It's time for you to really show your skills!"
"It's my pleasure! Their aircraft carriers are now toothless tigers!"
"Go and sink this tiger once and for all! For the glory of the empire!"
"For the glory of the Empire!"
When groups of Japanese fighter planes appeared in the sky, Priman knew that they were finished! He didn't even have a plane!
"Fight, fight! Anti-aircraft firepower, open fire!" Priman shouted in despair!
He really didn't expect that the Japanese carrier-based aircraft could find him so quickly! He was originally hesitant about whether to return to Tanshan Island for rescue. Now it seems that the Japanese have no intention of retreating at all! The Eastern Ocean Fleet has been completely explained!
As the roar got closer, the Japanese carrier-based aircraft swooped down on the aircraft carrier formation like wasps! There were just too many of these planes!
These planes dived down desperately! Although the aircraft carrier, destroyers, and frigates formed a firepower network, these planes flew towards the aircraft carrier like moths to a flame without any scruples!
While throwing down torpedoes one after another, he was also blown up and shattered in mid-air!
Puliman looked at the scene in despair! These people are crazy! Without the protection of carrier-based aircraft, his aircraft carrier is the biggest target of attack! It is only a matter of time before it is hit!
