At night, the lights inside the Supreme Command are still brightly lit.
It would be a lie to say that Zhou Weiguo and the others were not nervous as this was their first collision with the Western Navy!
Zhou Weiguo was sitting there smoking one cigarette after another. Yang Jie, Jiang Baili and others were also silent there.
"Report! News came from the Air Force Command and the Navy at the same time!"
A staff officer hurried over with two telegrams and said loudly.
"Oh? Bring it to me and see!"
Zhou Weiguo stood up suddenly and snatched the telegram from the staff officer's hand.
Half a minute later, Zhou Weiguo handed the telegram to Yang Jie and the others: "Our first phase of combat mission has been completed. More than half of the destroyers and cruisers of the Geely-Gaul Combined Fleet were lost. In addition, five of their battleships were attacked by torpedoes , varying degrees of damage occurred.
Only those two aircraft carriers did not suffer much damage. I estimate that they will spend the night in the East China Sea tonight. The Japs have people on the Geely-Gaul United Fleet. I will have someone send them electricity later and ask them to send back the specific coordinates of the Geely-Gaul United Fleet.
Then it was passed to the navy overnight. Now their battleships are injured and their combat effectiveness has been reduced. I estimate that they will send power to the country overnight tonight, and it is very likely that they will temporarily retreat to repair the warships.
By then we can start the second phase of the combat mission! "
For each stage of the battle, Zhou Weiguo and others have designated plans.
Because for such a fleet, Zhou Weiguo and the others do not have the strength to kill them in just two or three hours.
Therefore, we can only injure them in the afternoon to reduce their combat effectiveness, especially destroying their anti-aircraft firepower. This step is very critical.
¡° Then a naval fleet that lost its anti-aircraft firepower faced attacks from thousands of aircraft. Is it possible that they still have a chance of winning?
Somewhere in the East China Sea, the Geely-Gaul Combined Fleet, in the bridge conning tower of the flagship HMS Prince of Wales battleship
At this time, Somerville and Legoff were fighting outside the bridge, looking at the night-filled sea, neither of them spoke.
The attack this afternoon left them stunned.
And the attack of our air force caught them off guard, and the power of the air force surprised them.
They never thought that the air force's attack on the navy would produce such results.
They feel that this may be a new discovery that can be spread back to the country.
"Your Excellency General Somerville, our casualty statistics are out!"
The voice of a staff officer broke the silence between the two.
Somerville said without looking back: "How much have we lost?"
"Our combined fleet lost a total of eighteen destroyers and eight light cruisers. In addition, each of our battleships and heavy cruisers suffered varying degrees of damage.
In addition, most of the sailors on these ships were not rescued. Only a very few were rescued by us. Others may have been buried in the sea, or they may have been captured by the Chinese! "
The staff officer¡¯s words made Somerville¡¯s heart bleed.
Eighteen destroyers, this is not a small number. You must know that the destroyers brought by the two countries to the East this time only have a total of twenty-four, and the light cruisers only have a total of ten. As a result, most of them have been lost now. .
The battleships all bear varying degrees of trauma.
"Where is the aircraft carrier? Is there any damage to the aircraft carrier?"
Somerville asked after a moment of silence.
"Except for the fact that most of the carrier-based aircraft were shot down, the aircraft carrier itself did not suffer any major damage!"
After hearing this, Somerville couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head. The loss this time was huge.
Since the First World War, they have never suffered such losses.
"Generate electricity for the country! Report the situation here truthfully."
It is impossible to hide this kind of thing, so now Somerville can only report the situation here to the country and let the country make its own decisions.
"yes!"
Somerville and Legoff stood outside Cambridge for a while, and when they were about to go down to rest, a soldier ran over.
"Your Excellency, General, Mr. Tanaka Nobuyoshi would like to see you!"
Tanaka Nobuyoshi, this is one of the four personnel sent by the Japanese to the Geely-Gaul Combined Fleet. This is also the condition previously negotiated with Geely Gaul and other countries.
And Tanaka Nobuyoshi is thisLeader of four.
"Oh? He wants to see me? Ask him to come to the command tower to see me!"
When Somerville heard that he was coming to see him, he was stunned for a moment and then said calmly.
"yes!"
After Somerville waited in the command tower for a few minutes, Tanaka Shinkichi, a standard little devil, appeared in front of Somerville.
"Mr. Tanaka, what do you want from me?"
Somerville said in fluent English.
And Tanaka Shinkichi, a man in his thirties wearing a black suit, had a smile on his face and said in not very fluent English: "General Somerville, I am here to say goodbye. In order not to disturb You fight and we decide to return home tomorrow morning."
Somerville¡¯s face froze, and then a look of anger appeared.
Somerville felt that he had been insulted, insulted, no, to be precise, he felt that Geely Navy had been insulted.
Tanaka Nobuyoshi wants to retreat at this time. What is he going to do? Did he think he could defeat himself?
¡°Did he think he would die if he stayed on it, and that the battleship Prince of Wales would sink?
¡°It¡¯s one thing to be angry in Somerville¡¯s heart, but he also knows that this is other people¡¯s freedom.
"Mr. Tanaka, do you need me to send a ship to take you back?"
Somerville asked with a fake smile on his face.
"No! I have already generated electricity domestically, and the Imperial Navy will send ships to pick us up!"
Tanaka Shinkichi seemed to have not seen his angry face, and still had a smile on his face.
"Okay! It seems that you are here to say goodbye to me tonight!"
"Of course! Thank you General Somerville for your hospitality these days!"
After Tanaka Shinkichi returned to the cabin arranged for him by Somerville, he immediately began to clean up briefly, while his subordinates were destroying the draft of the telegram they had just sent.
"Are they all destroyed?"
After finishing cleaning up, Tanaka Shinkichi looked at the subordinate and asked, "This is their telegraph operator."
The two countries of Geely and Gaul must have never imagined that we and the Japs, the two mortal enemies, had secretly formed an alliance, and the Japs also acted as internal agents and reported their locations!
If they knew, they would definitely regret it.
But otherwise, it would be impossible for the Japanese to bring the radio station upright.
"Ha~all the clothes~have been destroyed! The telegram has also been sent out!" (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
