Explosion! Fireworks! Desperate scream! The steel breaks so hard that it makes people scream! The strong wind blowing from the wild fire wolf swept across the whistling in his ears...

Fletcher widened his eyes blankly, his eyes staring at the flashing light ahead without any focus, the boiling sea, his head slammed with fire and dancing, and his soldiers screaming miserably in his mouth, as if he was sleepwalking, completely losing his ability to control himself.

The combat staff next to him grabbed his shoulder, swayed back and forth hard, and his mouth was squirting with turbid saliva. After a long time, the tide of sound suddenly became louder and rumbling into his ears. His body immediately lost its balance and was shaking!

The young staff member supported him hard and shouted: "General! We must abandon the ship immediately! The ship is about to sink!"

"Abandon the ship..." Fletcher repeated like a puppet. After several consecutive times, he buzzed his head and suddenly came to his senses. His eyes focused on the other party's face. Then he crossed his shoulder and looked back. He saw that the originally majestic island was slowly collapsing in a very strange posture. A thick pillar of fire rushed up violently from the root. The head of the flame tongue had even licked the flagpole at the top, burning the officers one by one, jumped down with his hands and feet, and fell on the broken deck!

The crisp sound of the limbs breaking, and the muffled sound of the horizontal armor surface exposed after the wooden board was blown away, beating his heart like a heavy hammer.

How did all this happen?

Ten minutes ago, two aircraft carriers far away from the battlefield were still sailing steadily towards the Korean Peninsula under the escort of more than ten ships. The last batch of night fighters roared by overhead. The flashing light signals indicate that they had the determination to fight to the end. Fletcher was thinking at the time that the sacrifices of these people were tragic, but they were of great value. Because they exchanged for the safety of the entire special mixed fleet.

But in a blink of an eye, a few meteor-like things suddenly fell from the sky, and the fast speed made people just grab a trace of afterimage. Immediately afterwards, the aircraft carrier with a displacement of 20,000 tons suddenly shook its entire body, making a dull and violent collision sound. The next moment, a shocking explosion occurred!

An explosion point started from the middle front of the flight deck, and the starting point even penetrated into the lower watertight compartment of the hangar. The power of the explosion was so terrifying that it completely pierced the keel of the warship and tore it to pieces. The upward recoil force exploded a large hole with a diameter of more than ten meters. The crazy flames swept half of the hangar, tearing the dozens of fighter jets left inside into pieces!

Finally, the torch that rushed out of the deck was several dozen meters thick, and the fireworks rushing high into the sky were even one or two hundred meters high. It was wrapped in countless pieces of steel and broken corpses. The thin horizontal deck was even more powerful, and the broken mouth was torn upwards!

Another explosion. From the root of the ship island, the endless force blew up half of the building block structure with quite armor. This led to serious damage to the main structure, breaking the main support, tearing the big hole, and completely exploded, making it difficult to support the heavy upper steel structure, resulting in overall distortion and collapse!

Almost all the command systems on and off the ship island were completely paralyzed, and more than two or three hundred people were killed and injured on the spot!

On the deck, I just raised it from the hangar. After adding oil, the plane with the bomb was detonated, and the refueling truck on one side was also ignited. The sprayed gasoline spread to half of the deck, and the raging fire flowed everywhere, flowing along the rupture to the lower cabin, causing a big explosion in the power cabin boiler!

The explosions broke the entire aircraft carrier's keel into three pieces. The cracks torn on the edge and the cracked gap at the bottom were poured together, causing the entire ship to tilt rapidly, and there was no chance of rescue.

Fletcher himself was almost blown away by the explosion. With the help of his loyal and brave combat staff and guards, he finally ran down and barely found a relatively safe place, but with the tilting of the entire ship, he had a slope of nearly thirty degrees. If he was not careful, he might slide down.

"General! Let's go! If you don't leave, it will be too late!"

The person next to him shouted loudly without stopping, and he was about to jump on the lifeboat that was hanging halfway.

Fletcher pushed him away and shouted at the top of his voice: "Where is General Kondo? Why didn't he come down? We must not abandon any of our partners!"

The staff member shook his head vigorously, and his face, which was darkened by the fireworks, shouted with frustration: "He was seriously injured and unable to move. He had decided to sink with the warship!"

Fletcher was stunned for a few seconds, looked at Ship Island with a dull face, which began to flow downwards, and roared unwillingly: "Damn Chinese! We must settle this account!"

Then he jumped onto the lifeboat with the servants, untied the cable and fell on the sea. Several people used their hands and feet to cut them away from the aircraft carrier that ignited the fire.

The lifeboat's gasoline engine started to retreat at a speed, and soon ran to a place a kilometer away. Fletcher looked back and found that a few kilometers away, another thick torch was also burning. It was obvious that the second aircraft carrier was also hit the same heavy blow, and it would not take long to be completely finished.

How could this happen? It is obviously so far from the battlefield, but it will still be hit with such a terrible blow! Speedy! Accurate! Unable to detect! Unable to hide! Once hit, it is hopeless... It is like the legendary judgment of God, which is desperate!

Fletcher gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, forcing himself not to lose his composure, but huge waves surged in his heart, and he finally had an intuitive understanding of his Chinese opponents.

But the price is too heavy!

He now also understood that the one who attacked his ship was most likely the legendary super rocket weapon, a kind of thing that was in the primitive research stage in the United States, the British were slightly involved, the Soviets installed fighter jets early and joined the ranks of cannons, and the Germans began to commit to the sequence of bombing London, a terrifying terrifying thing!

Most of the Japanese joint fleets were defeated by this weapon; the US Pacific Navy was also frustrated twice, and he experienced it personally for the first time today, and the feeling was unforgettable!

More than a dozen light ships escorted by the light ships were obviously not worthy of the other party's precious mysterious weapons. They were still cruising around intact, searchlights were straggling everywhere, and light columns frequently visited the sky and the sea, but all efforts were futile!

A destroyer received a signal and leaned over and asked everyone on the lifeboat to climb up. When he saw that it was the commander, the captain was startled, but then he felt relieved. After all, the boss was still there, and the commander of the fleet was still in trouble.

Fletcher hurriedly wiped his face and immediately asked the captain about the contact information between the captain and other warships.

The destroyer captain was originally the most marginal little person in the entire fleet. He had no ability to understand the overall situation at all. In addition, the electromagnetic shielding was activated again, so he could only shrug regretfully, not knowing anything except the visible ships around him.

Fletcher sighed helplessly, forget it, it’s useless to be anxious now. Take one step at a time, at least. Keep all the ships in front of you as safeguard as possible.

More than a dozen light ships continued to accelerate and retreat in a hurry, completely eliminating the luck of fighting planes who succeeded in the night attack and followed up to make a profit and turn defeat into victory.

Obviously, Fletcher's choice was wise. In just over a dozen minutes, the night fighter jet that was highly anticipated was quickly wiped out and lost all!

The "Moonlight" and the p38, which have night battle capabilities, could not withstand the double strikes of missiles and large-caliber artillery, and were all shot down after a few laps; the drones broke out of control like headless flies and crashed one after another; the suicide Shikigami fighter was simply named one by one and exploded in the air. There was no chance to install the target.

Those night reconnaissance planes with slow flight speed followed slowly from behind and could barely see the explosive fire balls in front. Before they could get up, they were discovered by the ship radar. Then they provided coordinates for the interceptor fighter planes and then beaten up and crashed one after another.

Some of these smart seaplanes, if you see something bad, just land on the water on your own. Although you may be hit by shells or torpedoes at any time, it is better than turning into a ball of fireworks in the sky, and you may survive safely.

After packing up them, Xie Gangzhe took several main battleships, plus the encircled heavy patrol and amphibious assault ships, and bounced backwards towards the northern waters. At a distance of more than ten kilometers, he continued to bombard the two battleships that were eager to escape, and dozens of holes of different sizes were made all over the bodies of the two battleships that were eager to escape.

The key protection adopted by the Americans seems to be able to effectively utilize the displacement tonnage and provide the most reasonable defense effect. However, when the weak areas are approached and bombarded, it becomes a fatal shortcoming. The holes at various angles are punched out by high-speed armor-piercing bombs, or the keel bones are broken, or the power system is damaged. In short, after more than ten minutes of attack, the two battleships are basically paralyzed, although they are still tenaciously floating on the water surface, sinking or completely blowing up, it is a matter of time.

Xie Gangzhe didn't have time to slowly grind them. He threw them away and accelerated to the north. He chased the remnants of ships retreating and rushed to the back, and several cruisers that provided firepower support to the Yalu River Estuary were ready to stew them in a spoonful.

Behind, two light cruisers slowly approached, about ten kilometers away, prepared the torpedo tube, and then shouted to the battleship to surrender, and otherwise, torpedo service.

Fletcher had no idea about all the situations. He had lost control of the entire fleet. The special mixed fleet, which was originally neatly lined up, is now scattered into six large and small pieces in the northern waters of the Yellow Sea, and it is impossible to gather. If you really want to gather, you will only become a living target.

The four battleships were the key objects of care, and the battles revolved around them for half a night, and all of them were hit by hundreds of shells. The first two were really unable to rescue them. Most of the personnel had abandoned the ship and fled, watching them slowly sinking.

The latter two ships also refused to surrender, but they pulled everyone down as soon as possible. The cruiser approaching slowly became a little humanitarian, just watched them quietly, saving precious torpedoes with rare savings.

Of course there is a reason for this. Boss Zhu spoke and caught the foreigners and received rewards. Those were all used to blackmail the Americans. The more they were the better!

Several heavy cruisers and other ships staying on the northern coast were not reminded immediately. After the two Taishan-class battleships drove nearby and sank their peripheral warning destroyers, they realized that something was wrong.

The remaining heavy cruisers belonging to the Japanese joint fleet were very decisive and boldly took on the heavy responsibility of cover. They bravely rushed up against the battleships, and accelerated their maneuvers while firing. They carried out restraints and gain valuable retreat time for other ships.

The US Navy was a bachelor. Seeing that things were not good, he decisively ran away and ran towards the West Korean Bay at full speed.

Several Japanese heavy cruisers opened fire for not long, but were successively penetrated by the battleships with heavy shells. The explosion and fire broke into several sections and sank into the seabed. Most Japanese naval soldiers were buried with fish and fed them.

The fleeing American ships smeared and collided randomly. Without sufficient hydrological data, the fog in the middle of the night became worse and the field of vision was poor. The four ships actually hit the reef and were stranded!

The other ships ran back to West Korea Bay safely. But unexpectedly, the water depth in that area was greatly insufficient. It was not easy to maneuver after rushing in. The heavy cruiser with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons almost became dehydrated fish and turtles. It was impossible to go south to reconcile with the main force.

On the other side, the amphibious assault ships chased each other all the way, and rushed to the mouth of the Datong River, and entered the range of the shore defense artillery set up by the Japanese army before stopping. After bombing a few guns from afar, they did not care whether they hit the target or not. They gradually withdrew from the opponent's strike range and turned around to clear all the enemy ships floating on the sea before returning carelessly. At this time, it was already bright.

The entire northern part of the Yellow Sea was filled with strong smoke. The morning sun dispelled the mist, exposing pools of oil, broken wooden boards floating with the waves, countless broken corpses, and fragmented lifeboats, etc.

The North Sea Fleet sent more than a dozen destroyers to search the net. They gathered up the floating surviving enemy soldiers one by one, regardless of their life or death. When they encountered a slightly stubborn Japanese army, they directly fired guns and killed them to the slag, showing no mercy and cruelty at all, which made the surviving American soldiers frightened!

Xie Gangzhe worked all night. By dawn, the battleship returned to the estuary of the Yalu River, as if he had not moved at all, but the situation was very different.

He held his sore waist, through the porthole of the bridge combat command room, squinted his eyes and looked at the shimmering sea under the sunlight, and sighed leisurely: "There are tens of thousands of Japanese troops, 200,000 ton ships buried with 200,000 tons, and I believe that the ancestors can be laughed at all, right?"

The Chief of Staff smiled relaxedly: "In addition to Japan, he also has so many American foreign devils. I believe he can also eliminate the old grudges of the conspiracy and instigation of the great powers to secretly make bad things. At least the interest rate was collected a lot."

Xie Gangzhe laughed. His life goal finally achieved a key big project. Even if he retired today and enjoyed the rest of his life, he would not have too many regrets. He turned to the east and looked at the unknown place at the end of his vision. There were still a few enemy ships struggling to survive. But imagined that they would never have the chance to return to the United States.

This is destined to be the most painful day for the US Navy.

At dawn, Fletcher received returns from scattered ships in batches. The north fled less than ten warships in panic. There were not ten of the attack groups on both wings. In addition, less than thirty ships on his side were able to escape from the battlefield. The total number was only a fraction of the previous special mixed fleet, with no fraction of the displacement and combat effectiveness left.

Among them, the Japanese ships were almost completely lost, and the joint fleet was wiped out at this point. If you want to rise again, don’t expect it for a decade or two. There must be a premise, that is, there is no threat of war. But looking at the situation, the Chinese will definitely not give them a chance.

The Americans' own losses are unprecedented. All four new battleships were done, two heavy cruisers, several light cruisers and more than a dozen destroyers were smashed into it. In addition, the losses of the fighter planes were much greater than the sacrifice of the last raid on Ryukyu Island! It can be said that Fletcher's lifelong shame.

The coalition headquarters soon learned about the relevant situation, and was shocked that everyone was speechless and could not speak for a long time.

The leaders of the Japanese Army, even the most arrogant Hideki Tojo, were extremely disappointed by the tragic end of the navy. It was a power that had been expended for a hundred years of accumulation by the empire and had worked hard to build. It was completely wiped out three or five times in this way? What's going on!

Of course they were happy to see the Americans suffer great losses, but when they thought of the heavy losses, they would probably not be able to organize support for ground attacks in a short period of time. The Japanese Army would face larger casualties next, so they couldn't help but get angry.

Not to mention Americans, MacArthur and others frowned and smoked hard, but they could not evaluate the sudden situation. The tragic level was far beyond their acceptance. How could they end up afterwards?

On the other side of the earth, when President Roosevelt received the news, he had just finished his passionate speech to the people of the whole country, but he was immediately beaten with a stick. He sat next to the stove and was silent for more than ten minutes before he asked the Minister of Navy Operations Harold Stark in disbelief: "All this is true? Our powerful fleet was completely defeated by the Chinese in less than one night?"

General Stark nodded helplessly: "That won't be fake. We have underestimated the strength of the Chinese before. Especially under special weather conditions, their technological power may exert incredible power, leading to huge disadvantages of the war. We have to admit that there is no very good way for them at present."

Roosevelt's good mood was destroyed. He irritated and threw the telegram off, patted the armrest of the wheelchair and shouted: "We have so many scientists, even the British and French, and the Japanese have opened the scientific and technological research library. How could they be helpless against the Chinese? Could it be that our battleships are all made of paper? Or are their battleships completely indestructible?"
