Chapter 614: The Devil's Last Struggle

614 The Devil's Death Struggle

Before this, the Shokaku aircraft carrier had received a telegram from Commander Takeo Takagi.

Tell them that the fleet's aircraft carrier has dispatched a group of carrier-based aircraft to fly over to support them at all costs.

But it will take three hours to fly, so the Shokaku must hold on for these three hours.

As long as we can hold on, it will be the enemy that will be destroyed.

But now, only half an hour has passed.

When the Tianshu battlecruiser and a destroyer appeared in this sea area, the captain of the Japanese aircraft carrier knew it.

Their Shokaku is doomed.

The heavy cruiser Furutaka had been severely damaged and had problems dealing with the remaining two destroyers.

Not to mention, dealing with the two new enemy warships.

Once the Furutaka heavy cruiser was sunk, the enemy's warships could attack their Shokaku aircraft carrier at will.

They won't be able to hold on for long then.

"If the Shokaku is sunk, I will be a sinner of the empire.

How can I explain this to His Majesty?"

The captain of the Japanese aircraft carrier shouted in grief and anger.

The other Japanese officers around were also filled with grief, anger and despair.

At this point, they didn't even have a chance to escape.

But soon, some Japanese officers stood up and shouted: "General, we will definitely hold out to the end.

Our aircraft carrier has an intact hull and our soldiers are all rigorously trained.

We may not be able to survive the next two hours.

As long as they can hold out until our carrier-based aircraft arrive, this American fleet will be destroyed.

Even if we die, we will drag this Yankee fleet with us."

"Yes, let's drag the Yankees to death with us."

The other Japanese officers also roared with ferocious expressions.

Originally, these Japanese officers were brainwashed by Bushido and were all ruthless characters. In addition, they were already in a desperate situation at this time.

It further aroused their ferocity.

"General, they are right.

We still have a chance, and we will drag the Americans down with us even if it means death."

The Japanese first mate also spoke.

Seeing this, the captain of the Japanese aircraft carrier was also infected by the fighting spirit of these young Japanese officers and looked determined.

"Yoshi, in that case, then you gentlemen.

Let us give it our all.”

Immediately, all the crew members on the Japanese aircraft carrier Shokaku, whether they were ground crew, pilots, or communicators.

Next, they had only one task, which was to take charge of the damage management of the Shokaku aircraft carrier.

After the Shokaku was hit by artillery or torpedo, the water in the cabin was blocked in time to delay the sinking.

There is no way around it, because an aircraft carrier’s biggest means of attack is its carrier-based aircraft group.

After losing their carrier-based aircraft group, they basically have no ability to attack enemy ships.

Unable to fire shells and torpedoes, they can only rely on their own strong skin and thick muscles to hold on and delay time.

Wang Chuying naturally didn't know the decision of the Japanese on the Shokaku.

Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

This is just the last dying struggle of these devils who are in desperate situation.

It's not enough to have any impact on them at all.

"Yanqing, how is the Jianye?"

After Wang Chuying's Tianshu arrived at this sea area, he saw the Jianye with thick smoke billowing out of it and its hull tilting in the distance.

Then he asked Yan Qing.

"Sir, the Jianye is taking on a lot of water and can't hold on any longer."

"I see.

I saw the Chencang, it seemed to be badly damaged as well."

"Yes, the Chencang was also hit by a torpedo, but the situation is good and it can still fight."

"Well, I'll send the Changping to support you.

You cooperate with the Changping to destroy the Japanese heavy cruiser.

Let the Chencang go to pick up the soldiers on the Jianye."

"receive."

Wang Chuying made task arrangements for the destroyers participating in the battle in his fleet.

His eyes were fixed on the Japanese ship Shokaku which was still sailing in the distance.

The Japanese heavy cruiser Furuyo, which was badly damaged and also emitting billowing black smoke, could be taken care of by the Zhuojun and Changping.

Wang Chuying was commanding the Tianshu battlecruiser and no longer needed to pay attention to the Japanese heavy cruiser.

The Tianshu battlecruiser has only one target.

That is the Japanese aircraft carrier Shokaku.

"Full speed ahead, target the Japanese aircraft carrier Shokaku.

Sink him."

Wang Chuying shouted loudly.

"Roger that!"

All the officers and soldiers on the Tianshu battlecruiser were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood after receiving this order.

Everyone was extremely excited.

"Hurry up, load the shells and torpedoes, and rest if you are tired.

Substitution, substitution. "

"I'm not tired. Who said I'm tired?"

On the Tianshu, many loaders seemed to have endless energy in their bodies.

Several people worked together to load the heavy 305mm shells and more than mm heavy torpedoes into the launch tubes.

Relying on a speed of 30 knots, the Tianshu slowly approached the Japanese aircraft carrier Shokaku, which was only traveling at a speed of 20 knots, after more than 20 minutes.

It took quite a long time.

After all, the speed of the Japanese aircraft carrier Shokaku was not slow at this time.

In addition, the Tianshu battlecruiser was some distance away from him.

It took the Tianshu nearly half an hour just to approach the Shokaku.

Therefore, on the Japanese aircraft carrier Shokaku, the Japanese tried to delay for two or three hours by relying on the huge hull of the aircraft carrier.

It's not just a casual thought.

If you are lucky, it may actually happen.

While the Tianshu was approaching the Japanese aircraft carrier, it was also continuously firing artillery shells and torpedoes at the Japanese aircraft carrier Shokaku.

Many shells hit the Japanese aircraft carrier, causing considerable damage to the flight deck and some buildings on the Japanese Shokaku.

But it is basically impossible to sink this 30,000-ton Japanese aircraft carrier with artillery shells.

Besides, the flight deck of the aircraft carrier had already been destroyed, so it wouldn't matter if it was bombed again.

At most, it would cause some casualties by sending Japanese soldiers onto the aircraft carrier.

As for the torpedoes that were fired, two of them hit the target.

This reduced the speed of the Japanese aircraft carrier a little, making it easier for the Tianshu battlecruiser to catch up.

During this period, the Japanese on the Shokaku aircraft carrier did not do nothing.

They are also carrying out preparations according to their own plans.

First of all, the Japanese cleared out the ammunition depot on their aircraft carrier.

That's right, these devils threw all the ammunition in their aircraft carrier's ammunition depot into the sea.

Anyway, they have no use for the ammunition now.

Keeping it would be a disaster.

If they continue to keep these ammunition, they will be used once their aircraft carrier is hit by a shell or torpedo.

If these ammunition were detonated, they would only cause damage to their aircraft carrier.

Throw it all away.

After being hit by a torpedo, the two large holes in the hull were quickly blocked with the efforts of a large number of Japanese devils.

"what?"

After seeing that the Japanese ship Shokaku was hit by two torpedoes, Wang Chuying didn't seem to react much.

This surprised him.

"I want to see how many torpedoes this aircraft carrier of yours can take."

Wang Chuying gave a cruel smile.
