This was a long day, from the battle initiated in the early morning to nearly noon. During the battle for more than five hours, there were about 20 ships sinking from both sides, and thousands of officers and soldiers died. The tragic level was almost unprecedented.

In the long pursuit and interception battle, the torpedoes released by both sides were hundreds of torpedoes. The sea surface of more than a hundred nautical miles was full of huge water columns caused by explosions, and the evaporated mist with the pungent smell of smoke. Various wreckages of various sizes fluttered up and down as the waves rallied.

In the evening, the two aircraft carriers of the task force, which had just been repaired, took off their fighter planes again and flew to the top of the fleeing Japanese fleet. They met a group of aircraft coming from their homeland for thousands of miles of assistance. The two sides fought to the death until the sun set and the sky was dim. All the Japanese troops died in battle, and the task force paid more than 30 more aircraft.

From the start of the war to the present, the aircraft losses of both sides have been almost stable at 1 to 4. It is not considered suicides. The Chinese Air Force has the advantage, but the number is small, but it is obviously not as good as the Japanese army's preparations.

The great opportunity to annihilate the enemy was lost, and the task force was quite upset, but Chen Shaokuan comforted easily: "Our results are already great enough, and more will be icing on the cake, and no loss will be done. There is no need to be depressed. Tomorrow, we still have a chance."

That's right, in fact, even if you can stare from beginning to end in one night, the Japanese fleet can still run 200 nautical miles away and be closer to its homeland. It can be expected that tomorrow morning, Japanese fighter jets will definitely come to reinforce. It may not be easy to kill them completely. Perhaps the only gain is to make Japan constantly lose valuable pilots and fighter jets, and run up and down.

In the early morning of the next day, the task force launched its last attack. Nearly 200 intact fighters that took off rushed towards the Japanese army, which was only twenty or thirty nautical miles away. The F-24c fighter continued to fight with the a6m3 from afar. The other bombers drew cold zi to kill the Japanese ships, first completely sank the "Hairui" and then tried to replenish the "Namen". However, after the Japanese army concentrated dozens of warships to intercept, they were shot down more than a dozen, and they had to choose a secondary target and then returned.

During the more than two hours of air battle, more than 100 fighter jets were killed and injured on both sides, including more than 40 Chinese and more than 130 Japanese troops, and they still took advantage of it.

At this point, more than half of the four aircraft carriers that China launched a total of 300 fighter jets were killed or injured, and the remaining ones were injured to varying degrees, but the Japanese aircraft killed had already far exceeded their own number, which could be said to have made great contributions. Faced with the continuous reinforcements from the local area, it was difficult to exert a complete blow to the ship. There was no suddenness. Considering the immaturity of the navy, Chen Shaokuan ordered the entire fleet to leave the battlefield and return!

The task force, which had won a great victory, whistled and left. On the vast sea, a heavy cruiser and three destroyers were left, accompanied by a hospital supply ship, constantly circling the battlefield. Two large-range "Seahawk" twin-rotor helicopters and six water patrol aircraft flew low altitude from several directions, collecting pilots on the sea and naval soldiers on both sides.

Three days later, the main force of the task force returned on the same route. He or she orbited the Ryukyu Islands near Guam and entered the Chinese waters. In order to prevent the Japanese army from retaliating for all their strength, the Second Squadron set out from Hainan in advance and drove to nearby areas as a response. At the same time, a large number of fighter jets taken off from Hainan Island, Zhoushan, Shanghai and other places flew over Ryukyu and Taiwan respectively. The total number was nearly 500 fighter jets, bombers were holding live ammunition, and were eyeing them.

Zhu Bin threatened openly: "You'd better let my fleet return safely, otherwise you will not only sink all your airports and ports. You will also launch an unlimited air strike on Tokyo. Those who don't believe in evil will try it!"

Countless Japanese officials, including Japanese Prime Minister Mitsumi, were so angry that they had never seen this! Both sides were almost fighting in war, and you can't tell your fleet that you can't be able to move. Are you shameless? Do you understand the rules?

If you want to do it, you won’t do that. When you see the miserable appearance of the fleet, the naval aviation that has almost been exhausted, the army aviation that has not yet recovered, the radar front that cannot be cracked, and the almost complete fleet organization of the opponent... Even if you want to attack, you can’t get a full set of three or five hundred fighter jets, you’re afraid you can’t imagine it!

The most important thing is that all the Japanese naval forces are half-dead, and the relatively complete third fleet is all old, weak, sick and disabled. It is not easy to move around in the port of Lushun. After losing the ability to patrol China's maritime border, their existence has become quite useless, attacking, ineffective, defending, and even less powerful. Once they go to the battlefield, they are all cannon fodder. If the war had not started in full swing, I was afraid that the bombers taking off from the Peninsula or Pingjin would have turned them into a pile of undersea scrap iron.

I watched the task force sway across the strait and headed into the East China Sea, split into two, and went their separate ways.

The most injured "Songshan" and "Taishan" and other warships that were bombarded and bombed by aircraft drove directly to Guzhenkou military port, preventing the citizens from seeing their damage; the relatively intact "Huashan" and "Hengshan" drove into Shanghai with two 20,000-ton aircraft carriers covered in black paint, allowing millions of citizens to watch together.

After changing the number painted painting, no one could recognize the authenticity of the original version of the two battleships with exactly the same appearance. When their mighty postures entered the Huangpu River, another thunderous cheer almost over the river. The sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the city. All the figures of the top figures were present, warmly welcomed the Chinese warriors who defeated the powerful Japanese navy and returned safely!

Chairman Jiang personally came to Gaochang Temple Wharf, holding Chen Shaokuan's hand with a smile and shook it like a squirting sound: "Minister Chen's hard work has made us proud for the people of our country. It has been a shame for decades. It can be said that he has made great contributions to the present! He is a model for 40 million people!"

Chen Shaokuan still had a calm and calm attitude, saluted him calmly, shook hands, and replied indifferently: "The responsibility of the department is here, the branch office should be, and the chairman is over-reputable."

Lao Jiang didn't care about this, and did a full set of shows. He personally shook hands with every fleet commander who showed up to congratulate him. He warmly held them to take photos of hundreds of Chinese and foreign journalists as a souvenir, and personally boarded the ship to visit the traces of the huge shells and aircraft bombs, especially the hideous and terrifying holes on the aircraft carrier. He also expressed his sincere condolences to some wounded people who were not seriously injured and continued to hold their posts after treatment. After praising them for a few words, he left with satisfaction.

That night, almost all entertainment venues inside and outside Shanghai were filled with all the entertainment venues, and there were hundreds of banquets held for the Navy alone. Although they were all famous for themselves, they could invite one or two naval representatives to support them as models, but they all made it very lively, lively and steaming!

The celebration banquet jointly organized by the Central Military Commission, the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Navy, etc. was held in the largest hall of the GD Building. The chairman was present in person. Minister He Yingqin, Song Ziwen, Kong Xiangxi and others were all invited. Hundreds of celebrities and authoritative representatives from all walks of life came one after another. Representatives from embassies and consulates and agencies stationed in Shanghai and Nanjing also came. Although it was difficult to directly contact the ambassador-level ambassadors to avoid causing international disputes, all military officers stationed in China were sent to inquire about some reliable news as soon as possible.

Chen Shaokuan was calm and easily dealt with the half. After the excuse of being too tired and needing rest, he followed Lao Jiang and others and left early, leaving behind the task force special personnel and the deputy director of the Navy Chen Jiliang and others to continue socializing.

But he didn't take it seriously, but he took a special plane to fly directly to the ancient town entrance overnight. He arrived at around 10 o'clock in the evening, but Zhu Bin was already waiting in the dedicated airport outside Guangming City.

Seeing Chen Shaokuan get off the plane, Zhu Bin strode away and greeted him with a smile, then said with concern: "Chief Chen Zhengchen has not been washed away and he is tired all the way. In fact, there is no need to hurry back in rushing back. Stay in Shanghai for a few more days, so you can rest."

Chen Shaokuan looked him up and down with a smile, and said with a different opinion: "If I didn't come back soon, I would explain it to you in advance, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well in the future."

He didn't talk to him, and then he got into the special car, lying comfortably in the elastic seat. The bulletproof car with Tesla turbine roared slightly and accelerated smoothly. He drove to the tunnel. Zhu Bin stood up next to him with a shelf like a bear, and asked in confusion: "You have something to say! I'm sorry, I'm stupid and can't understand it thoroughly. Why don't you give me a tip?"

Chen Shaokuan closed his eyes and said quietly: "Sir, you should look at him with admiration for three days. You kid have become more and more scheming recently, and you can actually bear it. It's great."

After saying that, he stopped talking, but Zhu Bin couldn't get a sensation of the prepared words. He watched helplessly as the old man asked the car to take the villa to rest in the mountain. He had to go back in depressed manner and didn't sleep well all night.

The next day, Chen Shaokuan came to the fleet headquarters in high spirits and dressed in a well-decorated manner. After receiving the warm welcome from everyone, he went into his office alone with Zhu Bin. When the guard officer prepared all the tea, the two of them were left. Chen Shaokuan suddenly looked up and said, "I know what you want to ask. Today, I will explain everything clearly."

It was another sudden attack. Zhu Bin was not prepared enough, blinked, grinned and nodded stiffly: "Okay! Please open it and say it openly to see if it can solve all my doubts."

Chen Shaokuan took a glass of white water himself, took a small sip, held it in his palm and said lightly: "You must be wondering why I took the fleet so risky to fight the Japanese army with the death to the death, and even more so boldly changing the plan without authorization, which may cause dissatisfaction within the fleet. In fact, there is only one reason, you forced it."

"What?! It's my responsibility?!" Zhu Bin jumped up immediately, looking incredible. (To be continued)!~!
