Chapter 170 1944: Fast and Lightning (41,4200

Halsey hugged McCain's body and cried, everyone's eyes were weeping, and they were extremely sad. .

There were 13 staff officers who died with McCain. The fighter had no idea that he had harvested a quarter of the T50 Fleet Command personnel in his random shuttle, and he almost harvested Halsey away.

Lieutenant General McCain was the most unfortunate one who was killed by a 20mm shell shrapnel in the crowd. Before he was shot, the shell had taken away 3 or 4 people's lives in a row. If it weren't for the staff members blocking most of the explosion power for him, he would not even have the chance to explain his last words to Halsey.

If the shuttle was not used with mg151 and the more powerful mg213, I am afraid that even Halsey, who is farther away, would have to explain it here. By chance, members of the T50 Fleet Command encountered the most lethal attack at the worst time. If on the bridge, the 20mm shells were completely useless to defend themselves, but exposed to the deck, let alone the 20mm shells, even the 12.7mm heirloom can directly smash the human body into two pieces.

McCain's death is a microcosm of the tragic fate of the entire T50 fleet! On this night, hundreds of people were ruthlessly killed by fighter planes...

21:27, Mitsuo Furida, who led his team to leave the battlefield, posted a report on the battle situation. The bridge of Dafeng and Katsuki were filled with joy. Genda Mi read the second attack wave report aloud, which aroused everyone's surprise:

Fleet aircraft carrier: One ship was sure to sink, the other was paralyzed after being severely damaged, and the enemy had abandoned the ship;

Battleship: One ship has three lightnings, and it is believed to be severely damaged; the other ship has a lightning and then a sharpening, and the speed has been reduced to about 14 knots;

Cruiser: Sinked, 4 ships severely;

Escort aircraft carrier: sunk, and more than 6 severely damaged;

Destroyers: Sink at least 5 ships...

"The second attack wave has returned to the air force, some attack aircraft with tight oil return to the fleet, and the aircraft with sufficient oil are landed in the second flight battle." Minori Genda added, "The chief has sent a third attack wave, and some aircraft carried incendiary bombs according to the recommendations of the first attack wave."

Tsukahara nodded and smiled: "The great achievements of the Czech 2 combat have been basically completed, and the rest is to clean the battlefield. After this battle, the US Pacific Fleet will be destroyed and there is no room for struggle. Our army can attack Hawaii with all its strength and launch the Czech 3 operation."

“Onboard!”

"Congratulations to the Chief for such a great contribution!"

"Mainly, Chief Raibori is well-planned, and the soldiers are fighting bravely to fight the enemy. Thank you for your cooperation." General Tsukahara, who proposed the "cross shuttle" tactic and laid the final victory, did not show any self-pride, but instead solemnly told everyone, "At this time of great victory, all ships are reminded to be cautious, especially the sea surface, and do not let the US submarines attack sneak attack, so as not to fail."

No one expected that not all the planes had returned, and there were still four planes that did not return, and of course they were not shot down. It would be incredible if they had to use one word to describe the situation they are facing now!

In the second attack wave, Hiroyo Nishizawa, who cleaned up the trio members, and Toshio Oda each led his wingman to attack to provide cover for the attack group. Their tasks were two: one, shot down US aircraft and protected the safety of the attack plane group; the other, finding valuable warship targets and providing attack directions for the attack planes.

Although Ye Caiyun can indicate the targets of the cluster fleet, individual targets still rely on the pilot to use flares to visually search. Fighters attacking flares to help attack attack aircraft are a strategy that pilots collectively discussed.

Hiroyo Nishizawa and his wingman were flying Zidian, and Toshio Oda and his wingman were flying Fierce Fengji. After reaching the target fleet, the expected possible U.S. fighter jets did not appear at all. After turning a few times, they found that there was no need to cover the ship to attack, and the four fighters went to find valuable targets separately. At this time, the sea had already become a pot of porridge, and attack groups were flying up and down everywhere.

Ota Toshio was unwilling to join in the fun with others, so he wanted to go far and see if there were any fish that had missed the net. After a long search, his wingman was the first to discover an escort aircraft carrier. The ship was heading strangely and headed straight south, and it was far away from the large formation.

He immediately called Toshio Oda to come and confirm that the two planes hovered and checked for a while, and was sure that they were escort carriers, but strangely, no matter how they fired the flares, how they shot the deck and the planes parked on them, the opponent had no response, and did not fight back, as if they were sleeping.

Toshio Ota was not sure about the Americans' ideas. He could not sink the enemy ship by relying on fighters alone, so he called the attack aircraft in his headphones. After 3 minutes, the attack aircraft either did not come or apologized to say that the bomb had been thrown away and was ready to return. He called Hiroyo Nishizawa not far away. He also rushed down with his wingman and checked carefully. He even rushed to a very low altitude and did not find any movement from the opponent. Finally, he had the courage to go back and forth three times over the aircraft carrier, but the US military still did not fight back.

"Strange, all the people on this warship died?"

"Maybe the Americans ran away."

"But if you escape, why is the ship still driving?"

"Maybe there are still people hiding in the bottom warehouse..."

"They don't want to surrender, do they?"

"Why don't you stand up and shake the white flag if you want to surrender?"

"Maybe we may be afraid that we will sink without asking."

"Don't you die faster when hiding in the bottom pot?"

The four of them twitched in their headphones for a long time, but in the end they still couldn't draw a clear conclusion.

Oda Toshio made up his mind and said, "I'll go down and take a look."

Hiroyoshi Nishizawa said in surprise: "Didn't you go down?"

"I mean, I landed on it, and if the Americans want to surrender, I'll convince them!"

The others were shocked: "This is so risky!"

"You can brighten the flares a little bit, I guess there is no problem with landing. Americans can take off and land, so can I!" After saying that, he ignored it and really rushed down. Hiroyo Nishizawa had no time to stop it, so he had to let the other two use flares to illuminate, while flying the plane to monitor the bottom at all times, and ready to fire whenever there is something wrong.

Ota Toshio's Fiery Wind successfully hooked the blocking cable on the empty deck, and steadily parked the plane on the runway with a steadily wind of Fiery Wind more than one ton lighter than 6. The distance required to park stably was shorter than 6, and it did not hit the broken 6 at all at all.

Toshio Ota who landed did not dare to act rashly at first. He hid in the cockpit for half a minute, pressing his finger on the machine gun, preparing to fire if it was not good. However, no American soldiers were ambushing out of the cockpit. He finally took the courage to jump out of the cockpit with a pistol and checked around. As a result, he became more surprised. There was no one on the entire ship, and the six were empty, as if they were a ghost ship. The other three people above their heads were unknown, so they felt even more strange, and the cold air was whizzing up from behind.

However, a lot of things were thrown down on the deck. He pulled a carbine out of it and rushed towards the bottom warehouse. The other pilots did not even dare to go out of their atmosphere. While flying around the aircraft carrier, he paid close attention to his performance.

After the end of the trap, an even more shocking scene appeared in front of Toshio Oda: there was no sign of an enemy inside. He shouted in English several times, then pulled out the carbine and fired several times, but there was no response for a long time. When he rushed to the engine compartment, he almost laughed and his huge rudder plate was tightly stuck by two iron rods, and he just aimed at the 180-degree route and drove south.

"The Americans don't want to throw the boat away?" He couldn't figure out the specific situation, and while talking to himself, he asked the planes above to come down.

Hiroyo Nishizawa saw him waving, but he didn't know what he was calling. He was so anxious that he scratched his head. Finally, the other party shouted a few times and found something was wrong. He returned to the car and used his headphones: "You guys come down, there is no one in this boat!"

"No one?" Everyone was shocked and expressed their disbelief, "How is that possible?"

"It's just that there's no one, why am I lying to you? Oh, I'll turn on the lights so that you can land."

He groped for several minutes, and finally found the deck light switch of the Bismarck Sea escort aircraft carrier by knowing some English, lit the deck instantly, and then pushed his strong wind away, kicked off the debris on the deck, freeing up space for others. He believed that it would not be difficult to land on this escort aircraft carrier with the ability of his comrades.

Everyone did not doubt that he was there, and landed one after another with Hiroshi Nishizawa as the leader. As soon as they stopped, they jumped out of the cockpit impatiently and surrounded Oda Toshio and asked.

"People below want to surrender?"

"No! I mean, no one is down there!"

"What? Then who is driving the boat?"

"The ship is driving by itself... Oh... the rudder was deliberately stuck." Toshio Oda led everyone to take a look at it on the spot, all of which were shocking that could not be concealed.

"What the hell is going on? We captured an empty ship?" Several people whispered to each other, all with incredible expressions.

"Who of you can drive the boat?"

"This? I won't..." Hiroyoshi Nishizawa touched the back of his head awkwardly, "I'm a pre-training subject and have never touched the boat."

"Neither will we!"

Only pilots from Naval Military Academy have the opportunity to receive a systematic education in the navigation department. These are pilots who graduated from aviation schools. Even if they have a little theoretical impression of navigation, they don’t know where to throw them away.

"Okay, I've finally been a sailor for a few days. I've seen how the engineer is manipulating it. Let me do it." Toshio Oda plucked up the courage to pull out the iron rod, and hit the right direction as if it was decent, muttering the words seriously, "Right rudder 30 degrees."

Everyone felt that the huge hull under their feet began to turn slowly. Although it was not clear whether it was 30 degrees or not, they were sure to turn to the right.

Hiroyi Nishizawa compliments him: "It's a pity that you don't go to the Navy School to be the captain..."

"I'll get the captain's addiction first. You can go outside and see if there are any fish or time bombs that have escaped, and then send a telegram to the chief immediately, asking them to find a way to send someone to receive it. I can't drive it back..." Oda Toshio laughed, "Americans are really prodigal sons. If you say no, just don't want it?"
