Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku finally gave up and sank into the sea with the Taiho aircraft carrier. When the Taiho aircraft carrier was about to sink, he, together with Admiral Nagumo Tadashi, Lieutenant General Fukurun Shige and others, left the Taiho aircraft carrier and transferred to the Mutsuki destroyer.

Compared with aircraft carriers with larger displacements, as well as other heavy cruisers and destroyers, destroyers with a displacement of only more than a thousand tons will not be noticed by the carrier-based aircraft groups of the Third Reich Navy, and are less likely to be attacked.

In this case, the possibility of saving life is naturally much higher.

Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku was not afraid of death, or he had already been prepared for death. When he led the combined fleet on this expedition, Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku knew very well that the possibility of the combined fleet winning this time was very small. If it fails, he, the commander of the combined fleet, will naturally have to pay the price for it, or bear the responsibility for the failure.

However, Marshal Yamamoto Fifty-Six was still very unwilling to admit defeat like this.

Although all the aircraft carriers of the United Fleet were lost, they were not without power to fight.

Not to mention anything else, there are as many as 18 capital ships, which is also a quite powerful force. If used properly, it might even be able to make the Third Reich Navy pay a heavy price. Even if it is impossible to come back and reverse the situation of this naval battle, if the Third Reich Navy can be made to pay a greater price, it will be very beneficial to the Eastern Empire.

After all, in the Eastern Empire, there are still a large number of warships being built crazily in the shipyards. If there is enough time, the Toyo Empire Navy will soon be able to build a powerful fleet again.

And if the Combined Fleet can survive this battle, it will make the Third Reich Navy pay a greater price. Then, it will be of great help to them in resisting the Third Reich's attack on the Eastern Empire's mainland, and even in making a comeback in the decisive battle on the mainland.

"It's over, everything is over! Such a powerful fleet that we had finally built with great difficulty was finished like this!"Marshal Isoroku Yamamoto closed his eyes in pain.

Battleships were burning and then sinking into the sea. A large number of naval officers and soldiers were being killed. This made Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku feel like he was bleeding. Same.

After nearly a hundred years of development, the Toyo Empire Navy finally reached its current situation and became the second strongest navy in the world. But unfortunately, in just one day, the main force of the combined fleet was already destroyed. Eliminated. Even if the combined fleet still has a lot of combat power left, it is still difficult to say whether the situation can be reversed. In other words, the chance of winning is already very small. The same goes for General Nagumo Tadayama, Lieutenant General Fukurun Shige and others. Tears were streaming down his face.

Especially General Nagumo Tadashi. As the commander of the aircraft carrier formation, he watched helplessly as all the aircraft carriers were destroyed. This made him feel like a knife. He knew very well that in the future, the Toyo Empire might not be the same again. There was no chance to build such a powerful aircraft carrier formation. The glory of the Toyo Imperial Navy ended on this day. The carrier-based aircraft group of the Third Reich Navy left in a swagger after dropping bombs and torpedoes. Gone. The Eastern Imperial Navy’s combined fleet, which suffered heavy losses, was left crying and wailing here.

"Order each ship to salvage as many sailors who fell into the water as possible. Then, evacuate here and join the battleship formation!"Marshal Yamamoto fifty-six calmed down his emotions and issued the order.

"Hi, Commander!" Lieutenant General Fukudome Shige replied.

When night fell, Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku and others had already left this sea area. At the same time, all the battleship formations of the combined fleet had gathered together. Even the battleships sent out to deal with them before The four Yamato-class battleships and four Kii-class battleships of the battlecruiser formation of the Third Reich Navy also returned.

After the sinking of the Taiho aircraft carrier, Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku had to change his flagship to the Yamato battleship On board.

In the small conference room of the battleship Yamato, Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku summoned a group of generals from the combined fleet. Of course, mainly the generals from the battleship formation. The aircraft carrier formation has lost all its members, except for General Nagumo Tadayama. In addition, the other formation commanders almost all chose to sink with the ship.

However, the expressions of these generals were very ugly. We are not fools, and naturally we know that when the aircraft carrier formation has been completely lost, the joint It is almost impossible for the fleet to make a comeback and win this war.

"Gentlemen, everyone must be aware of the outcome of the day's battle. Not only did we lose four Amagi-class battlecruisers, but we also lost all of our aircraft carriers. In addition, a large number of cruisers and destroyers were sunk. The current combined fleet has been greatly reduced in strength. In contrast, the losses we caused to the Third Reich Navy were very limited. Therefore, it will be very difficult for us to defeat the Third Reich Navy in this battle."Marshal Isoroku Yamamoto said.

All the generals nodded repeatedly. They all agreed with Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku's point of view. In other words, everyone knew very well that this time the combined fleet was really doomed.

"But, for the sake of the Empire, but also for our own sake. We can't just give up. We must do our best to fight the Third Reich Navy in the next battle. Even if it can cause greater losses to the Third Reich Navy, it is still worth it!"Marshal Yamamoto Fifty-Six continued.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, we only have these battleships left, and I am afraid they are no match for the Third Reich Navy."Admiral Kogamine, Commander of the 1st Battleship Group, said

"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal. We only have 18 capital ships left, as well as a few cruisers and destroyers. The Third Reich Navy had more than 40 capital ships alone. Vice Admiral Jisaburo Ozawa, commander of the 2nd Battleship Group, also said.

Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku nodded:"I am very aware of everyone's concerns." However, what I want to tell you is that this is our only chance. Or, if we give up the fight and choose to just give up. Our country, and indeed the Imperial Navy, never stood a chance. Therefore, we must seize this opportunity!"

Marshal Yamamoto Fifty-Six's words revealed a hint of determination.
