Bright sword, I have a red police base car

While the Japanese naval fleet was gathering, Li Xiaochen was also counting the ammunition of the current troops.

Anti-ship missiles are very important in modern ships, but the number of them equipped is very limited.

In the end, the entire fleet had only 18 anti-ship missiles left. In this situation, they had no way to launch a full-scale attack on the remaining Japanese ships.

In this situation, Li Xiaochen could only give the order to prepare for retreat.

"Order the troops to prepare a retreat formation and evacuate towards the base at a speed of 20 knots! The submarine forces will formulate their own retreat plan!"

"understand!"

After receiving the order, the surface ships of the Red Alert Force immediately changed their formation and retreated to the rear in an orderly manner.
But the Japanese did not want to let the Red Alert's warships escape just like that.

When fighting against the first wave of naval forces attacking the Japanese army, the naval aviation had already reported the Red Alert fleet information to the rear.

Based on the analysis of the ship's tonnage, the Japanese also understood that such small-tonnage ships could not carry many big guys like anti-ship missiles, so the Japanese naval forces decided to give it a try and destroy the Red Alert's surface ships.

As for the losses incurred by destroying this fleet?
Their navy has suffered enough losses here today!

As long as they can destroy this fleet, salvage the Red Alert's sunken ships and seize the weapons on them, it will be worth it even if they lose their only two aircraft carriers here!
So, under the order of the Japanese naval fleet commander, more than 10 Japanese destroyers and carrier-based aircraft taking off from two aircraft carriers swarmed towards the Red Alert force's surface ship formation.

It looks like a group of ants biting an elephant to death.

The radars on the Red Alert's naval vessels also immediately discovered the approaching Japanese destroyers and fighter planes.

"Attention all units! Level 1 combat readiness, all anti-ship and air defense units are in position, ready for defensive operations!"

After receiving the combat order, all ships of the Red Alert Force were ready for battle, ready to welcome the Japanese's upcoming joint sea and air forces.

This time, the Japanese also learned from the lessons of the previous failed attack and specially arranged for the navy and air force to attack the Red Alert forces at the same time.

Faced with the Japanese army's joint sea and air strikes, the Red Alert's ships immediately launched a round of eleven anti-ship missiles after the Japanese army entered the range, heading straight for more than ten Japanese destroyers.

Before the Red Alert's anti-ship missiles arrived, the Japanese elite lookouts on the mast were using binoculars to conduct visual surveillance.

The only means the Japanese had to deal with the Red Alert's anti-ship missiles were their lookouts.

As the anti-ship missiles entered the Japanese army's visual range, the Japanese lookouts immediately issued a warning, and the advancing destroyer group also began to turn and evade.

"Full left! Ha-ha-ha!"

Seeing the Red Alert missiles rushing towards them with tail flames, the Japanese captains suppressed their fear and began to order their ships to evade.

However, once the missile enters the visual range, it may be too late to evade it by maneuvering.

The Red Alert's anti-ship missiles entered the final dive phase and hit the Japanese destroyers one by one.

11 missiles, 10 hit the target, 8 destroyers were sunk and one was damaged.

From this number, we can see that there was an unlucky Japanese ship that was hit by two missiles in succession.

One missile is enough to send a destroyer into space. If two missiles hit at the same time, the Japanese destroyer would probably be beaten into pieces by the Red Alert forces.

At the same time, seeing this, the Japanese air force immediately began to advance at full speed in the direction of the Red Alert Force.

Compared with the Japanese's slow surface ships, the Japanese air force was obviously a greater threat, so the Red Alert force immediately shifted the main force of defense to the air defense direction.

This also gave the Japanese surface ships a chance to catch their breath.

After all, the 051 and 053 have only so many fire control guidance channels. If you want to kill the Japanese fighter planes, you can only temporarily give up attacking surface ships.

Fortunately, after the first round of missile launches, more than half of the Japanese destroyer fleet had been damaged.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to decide how to fight next.

At this time, the anti-aircraft guns and individual anti-aircraft missiles on the Red Alert force's surface ships have been deployed, waiting for the Japanese fighter planes to arrive!
The order of the air defense firepower strike this time was the same as the previous air defense operation. First, the ship-borne air defense missiles carried out long-range strikes. After the Japanese aircraft gradually approached, the advance air defense artillery and air defense missiles carried out defensive operations.

However, this time the Red Alert's fleet air defense capability was much less efficient than in previous battles.

In previous air defense operations, the Red Alert Force has consumed a large number of air defense missiles, and individual equipment such as the Hongying-5, no matter how light it is, is limited in number.

Therefore, when facing this wave of Japanese air force, the Red Alert's anti-aircraft missiles were already in critical condition.

Just as the Red Alert Force was negotiating with the Japanese naval aviation, the Japanese destroyers also arrived near the Red Alert Force.

The situation is extremely urgent for the fleet now.

"All missile units, fire your anti-ship missiles first. Prepare the main guns of all ships. As long as the Japanese come into range, we will beat them to death!"

"understand!"

Just after Li Xiaochen arranged the current combat sequence, the radar observer of the 112 Harbin ship reported loudly: "Report to the commander, the second batch of Japanese surface ships are heading towards us, and the number is estimated to be no less than 20! It is expected to arrive in half an hour!"

"Horse riding!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaochen pounded the command desk heavily with his hand.

Compared with the army and air force, it is extremely difficult for the navy to catch up with an old industrial power!

After just a few years, the Red Alert had achieved great success in the army and air force, leaving the Japanese far behind.

But the Navy is different.

Although the Red Alert Navy has been decades ahead of the Japanese in terms of technology, it is still far behind the Japanese in terms of the number and tonnage of ships.

This time, the Red Alert's fleet was selected from the best of the best, with a total tonnage of just over 20,000 tons, and that included three logistics supply ships.

The displacement of these ships is even less than that of the two heavy cruisers of the Japanese.

If the Red Alert wants to improve the navy, it must build as many large-tonnage naval ships as possible.

Not to mention aircraft carriers and battleships, if the main warship of the Red Alert Force in this operation was not a 051 of more than tons, but a modern destroyer of to tons, the Japanese fleet would have been destroyed long ago.

Just when Li Xiaochen was worried that the Japanese support fleet was about to arrive, a call suddenly came from the ship's radio. It was this call that gave hope to the Red Alert soldiers who had decided to fight the Japanese to the death.

"Task Force, this is the Second Fighter Squadron and the Fourth Attack Squadron of the Air Force. We expect to reach the exchange of fire above your unit in five minutes. Please pay attention to friend-or-foe identification. Over!" "Task Force received! You're finally here!"

Since the two squadrons of the Red Alert Air Force came from Dagu Mountain via Niangzi Pass, they arrived a little late.

However, it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. This was the most difficult time for the Red Alert's task force. The arrival of the Red Alert's air force at this time was like timely rain for the navy.

Although the Japanese naval aviation was very strong, when facing the 2nd Fighter Squadron of the Red Alert Air Force, the Japanese were already in a completely passive state of being beaten.

As can be seen from the number, the equipment of the Second Fighter Squadron cannot be bad.

The model equipped by the Second Fighter Squadron is the J-7 fighter!

Little devil:
Is this right?!

This is totally unethical, isn't it?
The J-7, which ranks high among the second-generation jet fighters, was able to defeat the propeller-driven Zero and Stuka fighters of World War II. No matter how you look at it, this is not something that a human can do, okay?
After all, let alone the J-5 and J-6, even the J-1 fighter jets transferred from the Red Alert to the Eighth Route Army could make the Japanese fighter planes bleed.

The first thing they attacked was the J-7, and the Japanese naval aviation force really had no chance of survival.

At the beginning, the Japanese air force did not notice the air support of the Red Alert at all. Just when a Japanese torpedo plane squadron was about to drop torpedoes on the Red Alert, an air-to-air missile flying from a distance directly shot down all the torpedo planes in the squadron.

"Baga! Reinforcements from the Ping'an County Security Corps have arrived!"

After seeing their fighter plane being shot down, the Japanese immediately moved to evade and at the same time searched for the location of the reinforcements of the Ping'an County Security Corps.

After the Japanese soldiers discovered the Red Alert's fighter planes, they suddenly felt like the sky was falling!

"What kind of plane is this?!"

"Are all the Ping'an County Security Team monsters? Why do they have so many things that are beyond their time?!"

Although the Japanese did not know what the future fighter jets would look like, through fighting with the Red Alert Forces, they were sure that the future fighter jets would look like this!
J-7 versus Type 0.

This air battle was no suspense for both China and Japan.

There were even some desperate Japanese pilots who didn't even have the courage to fight the Red Alert Air Force and simply chose to make an emergency landing in the sea.

After all, a forced landing might offer a way to survive, but if we fought head-on with the Ping'an County Security Corps, we wouldn't even have a chance to survive.

Their plane doesn’t have a parachute!

As the Japanese planes were shot down one after another, the J-5s piloted by the 4th Attack Plane Squadron of the Air Force also sank the pursuing Japanese destroyer.

Since the Red Alert had very few laser-guided munitions left, all of the Jang-5s had to use ultra-low-altitude precision strikes to kill the Japanese destroyers.

One of the J-5s was damaged by the counterattack of the Japanese destroyer.

So, under the cover and support of the Air Force, the already precarious Red Alert Navy Task Force finally escaped from the Japanese pursuit and began to return.

After suffering so many casualties, the Japanese navy refused to give up and insisted on destroying the entire fleet!
According to the order of the Japanese Navy Command, in addition to the troops that sailed out from the Bohai Sea to pursue, all the Japanese navy in Qingdao were dispatched to prepare to intercept the Red Alert's task force.

However, the Japanese naval headquarters never expected that it was just such an order that almost caused a mutiny among the Japanese navy in Qingdao.

As for why this is the case?

After the Red Alert Air Force carried out a bombing off the coast of Tanggu, the Japanese withdrew the Yukikaze, which was originally deployed in the Bohai Sea, in order to stabilize the morale of the naval forces on the front line.

And the Yukikaze is now in Qingdao!

This is so fucking lame!
With a plague like Xuefeng around, no Japanese warship in Qingdao dared to go out to sea. After all, whoever touches this thing will die.

Over the past few years, no ship that has carried out missions with Xuefeng has returned alive.

In order to avoid acting with the Yukikaze, the commander of the Japanese base in Qingdao even sent a telegram directly to General Isoroku Yamamoto, asking him to order the Yukikaze not to participate in this operation.

After all this back and forth, the Japanese navy in Qingdao had lost the opportunity to intercept the Red Alert forces.

The Japanese did not catch up with them until the Red Alert's task force returned to the naval base.

Not only did the Japanese fleet fail to catch up, but it also hit a mine in the minefield outside the naval base and sank a light cruiser, and had two destroyers destroyed by a patrolling Ming-class submarine.

This time, the Japanese navy failed miserably.

However, Li Xiaochen, who successfully escaped from the Japanese pursuit and returned to the naval base, was depressed.

There is no other reason, this battle was just too frustrating!
Until today, when has the Red Alert Force been sent back home?

After returning to the headquarters, Li Xiaochen wrote a report on the battle with resentment and sent it to the Dagushan Command.

At this time, Zhang Shijie was lying on the bed specially set up for him in the command center. Zhang Shijie had just put down Li Xiaochen's report and picked up Zhao Han's battle report.

The two combat reports that failed to achieve the combat objectives had one thing in common, which was also an important factor affecting the combat.

Japanese Navy!

Zhang Shijie, who had read the report, also sighed and shouted, "Yun Fei! Go get the Chief of Staff!"

The words that just came out of his mouth suddenly reminded Zhang Shijie that his guard had died on the front line in Henan.

At this time, Zhang Shijie suddenly understood what Li Yunlong called the monk in the original plot.

Although Zhang Shijie was very sorry for Song Yunfei's sacrifice, the most important thing now was the next step of combat and development.

"Yiming, go call the Chief of Staff, Zhang Ning, Zhou Jingren, and Bai Shulei over!"

"Yes! Chief!"

After everyone arrived at the headquarters, Zhang Shijie pointed to the two reports and said, "The gap between our navy and the Japanese is still too big. These two battles were fought in a cowardly way!"

Zhang Ning: "Commander, a century-old navy is not just talk. We don't have the energy to focus on the navy in the short term."

"So the next step is to build a strong navy!" (End of this chapter)
