Tianshu Battlecruiser 600 encounter
In addition, there have been changes on the European battlefield some time ago.
In order to support the British homeland, the Americans also mobilized part of the Pacific Fleet to escort the transport fleet.
This resulted in the US Pacific Fleet, which had recovered for a year, facing the Japanese Combined Fleet.
Once again faced with a shortage of warships.
As a result, they only sent a task force consisting of two aircraft carriers to the Coral Sea for combat.
On the Japanese side, it was not the main force of their Combined Fleet that came over, but only the Fifth Aircraft Carrier Squadron.
In the evening, Wang Chuying and others who were still sailing suddenly received an urgent message from the Allied Command.
"Captain, this is bad."
An officer ran into the command room in panic and shouted.
"Why are you so flustered? Calm down.
If you have any news, just tell me directly."
Wang Chuying scolded.
"Yes.
Captain, just received orders from headquarters.
Let our fleet withdraw immediately.
The U.S. military's task force was defeated in a daytime battle with the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet. "
No wonder the officer was so flustered when he came over.
Even Wang Chuying widened her eyes after hearing the news and asked in disbelief, "The U.S. aircraft carrier fleet lost?"
The people around were whispering.
“Yes, Captain.
The telegram sent by the headquarters personally is absolutely correct."
"What's the specific situation?"
“That’s not clear yet.
Command just told us to retreat.
Not only our fleet, but all the Allied fleets involved in this battle must retreat."
"Damn it!"
Wang Chuying's face suddenly turned ugly.
He also didn't expect that the US aircraft carrier fleet would be defeated at this time.
The timing is so awkward.
At this moment, after a day's sailing, Wang Chuying and his fleet were on their way to Guadalcanal.
It is located right across the northern part of the Coral Sea. If you go north, east, or west, you may encounter the Japanese fleet.
If they really want to retreat, they can only return the same way they came.
If that's the case, their fleet's appearance this time is just a bystander.
Did nothing!
If they go back, how are they going to explain to Ye Qingshan?
Wang Chuying was silent for half a minute before he raised his head, looked at his officers, and asked, "Retreat like this?
Are you willing?"
"Not reconciled."
Everyone shouted in unison.
“So, I decided to continue the attack in the direction of Guadalcanal.
The Japanese aircraft carrier fleet was hundreds of kilometers away from us at this time.
Even if they wanted to get back, it would take them a day or two.
We can retreat then and it will still be in time.
Now that we have come this far, we must go to Guadalcanal to take a look."
Wang Chuying has firm confidence.
Order the fleet to continue sailing towards Guadalcanal.
What Wang Chuying didn't know was that at this moment in the southern waters of the Coral Sea, the Japanese Fifth Aircraft Carrier Squadron had just ended a fierce battle during the day.
At the cost of one aircraft carrier being sunk and another seriously damaged.
Only then did they defeat the US military's task force.
The price the US military paid was that both aircraft carriers were sunk.
The remaining defeated US fleet is retreating southward, preparing to retreat to the ports on the southeastern coast of Australia for rest and recuperation.
Waiting for the next combat order from their fleet headquarters.
The Japanese aircraft carrier fleet pursued them all the way.
Only a few warships were protecting the severely damaged aircraft carrier Shokaku and retreating northward.
They were preparing to send the severely damaged aircraft carrier back to their base in Rabaul for repairs in advance.
This is the specific movement of the remaining fleets of both sides in the Coral Sea after the defeat of the US aircraft carrier fleet.
Unfortunately, Wang Chuying and the others did not know these details at that time.
Ye Qingshan soon learned the news that the US aircraft carrier fleet had been defeated.
“The U.S. military was defeated?
Both aircraft carriers were sunk?
So miserable? "
Ye Qingshan was a little surprised.
Although, in this time and space, the Battle of the Coral Sea is completely different from that in the original time and space.
Therefore, Ye Qingshan could not predict the result.
But the US aircraft carrier fleet had two aircraft carriers sunk at one time, which was a tragic defeat.
Ye Qingshan quickly contacted Wang Chuying and learned that Wang Chuying still chose to go to Guadalcanal.
Ye Qingshan did not reply to Wang Chuying immediately, nor did he stop their decision.
Ye Qingshan said that they should fight this battle on their own.
In addition, Ye Qingshan didn't have much experience in commanding naval battles.
So, he chose to trust these young captains he had selected.
"Come back safely."
In the end, Ye Qingshan only replied to Wang Chuying with four words.
That night, time passed a little slowly for Ye Qingshan.
The same is true for Wang Chuying and others.
It was not until the early morning of the 18th that Wang Chuying and his fleet arrived at the waters west of Guadalcanal.
"Captain, unidentified warships have been spotted ahead."
First mate Daniel suddenly reported to Wang Chuying.
At this time, Wang Chuying used a telescope to look at the sea in front of him, although there was mist.
But he could still vaguely see the presence of two warships on the sea in the distance.
"Order the fleet to maintain single column.
Speed up, everyone get ready for battle."
Ring ring ring!
Immediately, the emergency assembly bell rang in the warship's cabin.
Countless soldiers quickly rushed out of the room and took up their combat posts.
Wang Chuying and his fleet maintained a single-file formation, increased their speed again, and sailed forward.
Wang Chuying was so excited at this moment that she could hear her own heartbeat.
His intuition told him that the two warships in front of him must be the Japanese warships.
Because it is unlikely that US warships will appear in this sea area.
As for the two Japanese warships that appeared, what mission did they have that made them appear here?
Was it as he had guessed before, to protect their landing fleet?
Wang Chuying is not sure about this.
But no matter what the reason, these two Japanese warships appeared here.
Now that I have met him, I must eat him.

Just as Wang Chuying's fleet rushed over quickly, the two Japanese warships soon discovered this suddenly appearing unidentified fleet.
Then, the two Japanese warships actually came straight towards us.
"Um?
Two warships dared to come forward, and they didn't run away?"
Wang Chuying was also surprised when she saw this scene.
I was surprised at the courage of the commanders of the two Japanese warships. After all, Wang Chuying's fleet had nine warships.
The two sides are not on the same order of magnitude at all.
At this time, the two Japanese warships discovered their fleet, and the most correct thing to do would be to retreat.
"Oh my god!
"Wang, look!"
As a result, not long after, the first mate Daniel exclaimed, pointed at the scene on the sea ahead, and shouted to Wang Chuying.
At this time, Wang Chuying only saw that on the vast sea to the east of the two Japanese warships, there was actually a huge fleet that stretched as far as the eye could see.
