    Kimmel walked to Nimitz and said in a solemn voice. Although he was dissatisfied with Nimitz's previous attitude and had a grudge in his heart, he also knew the current situation.

    "Impossible! It is impossible for China to do such a stupid thing. We were not prepared at all and had no clue. If half of their submarines did not launch torpedoes, then they should surround us and suddenly launch torpedoes  Attack us.

    By then we will be caught off guard and the losses will be even greater.  If their remaining submarines are launched now, we already have some precautions after all, and we may not be able to achieve such results.

    I think this should be another new technology of China's new submarine.  It seems that we are far behind China in these aspects.  "

    Nimitz sighed softly.  In Nimitz's mind, since China has developed a submarine that cannot even be detected by their sonar and can launch torpedoes without having to pay the sea level, then it is not a good idea for them to develop a technology that can quickly load torpedoes.  Nothing is possible.

    "Is it new technology? Commander, what do you think we should do next? Should we continue to evacuate here or return to the previous stopping place?"

    Kimmel turned to look at Nimitz and said.

    Where this huge fleet will go, the decision is still in Nimitz's hands.  Although he is the chief of staff, he is only a chief of staff. He only has the right to make suggestions, but does not have the right to directly mobilize troops or give direct orders to the troops.

    "Continue to evacuate! No matter how fierce the Chinese submarine force is, we must evacuate here. Tonight is our last chance. If we don't evacuate tonight, until tomorrow, we won't be able to leave even if we want to."

    Nimitz also knew in his heart that once tomorrow comes, it will not be these submarines threatening him around him, but the Chinese fleet will still appear in front of him.

    Kimmel nodded expressionlessly and gave the order.

    The Citi Navy fleet continued to repair those warships that could be repaired, and at the same time, some warships began to quickly salvage the sailors on the sea level.

    At the same time, the fleet is continuing to evacuate this area.

    "Commander, should we attack again?"

    A submarine soldier looked at Fang Fengchen and asked.

    "Pause the attack and order the boats to follow. Wherever the Citi Fleet goes, we will go there. In addition, send power to the Pacific Fleet and Australian Fleet, telling them that we need to replenish torpedoes and let them prepare!"

    The xxi-type submarine is good in all aspects, but its bomb carrying capacity is too small. Each submarine can only carry twenty-three torpedoes, and the two rounds of attacks just now have fired twelve torpedoes.

    Now each submarine only has eleven torpedoes available, although Fang Fengchen would only ask the submarine force to suspend the attack, and at the same time send electricity to the Australian fleet and the Pacific fleet, requesting torpedo supplies.

    "yes!"

    At 7:30 in the morning of October 28, 1943, Nimitz led the Citi Naval Fleet to evacuate to a relatively far distance from Ranonga Island.

    It can be said that Nimitz was always on tenterhooks along the way. He was afraid that a group of submarines would appear on the way to launch a surprise attack on his fleet.

    Fortunately, they were safe along the way and no Chinese submarines launched a surprise attack on them.

    "Give power to the nearby Army aviation, tell them our exact location now, and ask them to send patrol planes to always pay attention to the movements of Chinese fighters!"

    Being aware of the situation around you is a must-have for every qualified military commander.

    It¡¯s just that Nimitz didn¡¯t want his fleet to be exposed again, so he sent electricity to Army Aviation and asked Army Aviation to assist him.

    "yes!"

    The staff officer left, and Nimitz sat down on the chair. He was exhausted and worried to death that night.

    I am afraid of encountering China's large-scale submarine force halfway.

    "How much did we lose last night?"

    Last night, Nimitz had no time to ask about the damage. Now that he had time, Nimitz immediately turned his head to Kimmel.

    This kind of thing is naturally the responsibility of Kimmel, the chief of staff.

    "Eight escort carriers were sunk in the chaos last night. In addition, 22 frigates, 13 destroyers, and seven light and heavy cruisers were sunk.

    In addition, more than 4,000 of our soldiers were buried at the bottom of the sea.  This time we can say that we suffered huge losses.  "

    YesterdayIt was dark night. Although the Chinese submarine force could not target their aircraft carrier, there were too many torpedoes after all.

    The armor of those escort aircraft carriers is thinner than that of normal aircraft carriers.  After all, these escort aircraft carriers are mainly converted from merchant ships.

    And there was nothing that could be done about those Citizen soldiers who were buried at the bottom of the sea.

    It was night at that time, and even though there was a big fire shining on it, the view was still not comparable to that during the day.

    Secondly, the situation at the time was very critical, and China was afraid that China would launch another round of torpedoes, so the Citizen warships only rescued those Citizen soldiers who could see.

    As for those who didn¡¯t see it, I can only say sorry.

    "Eight escort aircraft carriers were sunk?"

    Nimitz bit his lip again and again.  Eight aircraft carriers!

    Now he only has a total of forty-five aircraft carriers in his hands, but he lost eight, which means that he now only has thirty-seven aircraft carriers in his hands.

    While Nimitz was congratulating himself on finally escaping, two huge fleets met in the northwest waters of Lanonga Island.

    Needless to say, these two fleets are naturally the Australian Fleet and the Pacific Fleet.

    Chen Jiliang boarded the flagship of the Australian fleet alone and came to see Chen Ce.

    Although both of them are fleet commanders and have the rank of general, to a certain extent, Chen Jiliang, as commander of the Pacific Fleet, seems to have a higher status than Chen Ce. There is no reason for him to see Chen Ce.

    But in fact, as one of the first big bosses of the Chinese Navy, Chen Ce's status in the Ministry of Navy is second only to the two naval marshals Chen Houfu and Shen Chengzhang.

    And Chen Ce¡¯s qualifications are much older than Chen Jiliang¡¯s.

    There is no way. Although the military is a place that values ??strength, in fact, seniority is also a big factor in the military.  This is also a place where seniority is important.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
