Just now, the Zhanjiang destroyer was hit by the explosion of a close-range bomb. The first trauma warship in this naval battle, the Zhanjiang destroyer, broke away from the original formation due to damage in power. The number one that filled its position and the area that Zunyi wanted to defend suddenly increased a lot. After the formation was adjusted, the Zhanjiang gradually became farther and farther away from the fleet, and the firepower support it could be provided was less and less. Japanese fighter jets also discovered this situation and immediately began to increase the attack on this gap, intending to tear open the defense line of the Chinese fleet in this gap.

"Fire Point 16! Two aircraft are flying in your direction!" In the headset, Zunyi was responsible for ship air defense and air defense fire distribution coordination. Among them, the watchmen in the complex ship + direction were shouting loudly at the complex ship + air defense fire point No. 16.

"I saw it. I am dealing with the one below now, and I can't pull it away! You can find other points to deal with the fly above!" The shooter at the No. 16 firepower point answered in the communicator. He was now competing with the Japanese plane trying to approach the sea and constantly avoiding his barrage. The bullets spewed out kept passing by it, but he never saw the firelight when it hit.

"I understand, No. 14 firepower point, you can deal with the enemy planes flying in the 170-degree direction of the starboard side and the 68-degree angle!" Seeing that No. 16 was really unable to get out of it, the officer immediately called No. 14 air defense firepower point.

"Received the 14th!" The fire point of the 14th received the order immediately turned the body of its 38mm anti-aircraft anti-aircraft gun and spit out ammunition at the enemy plane in the sky. The firing rate of the 38mm anti-aircraft gun was not fast, and the double-unit gun body kept firing left and right. However, these shells were anti-aircraft shells, and the shells were equipped with delay fuses, which continued to explode in the sky, producing a large number of killing projectiles to destroy the enemy planes with the killing range.

Before the staff could relax for a few seconds, another terrifying and anxious call came from the headphones.

"Looking Tower! Watching Tower! Ship ~ Two enemy planes rushed towards the right from the starboard direction, and I can't beat it here!!"

"Received! Received! No. 4 fire point immediately assists in reinforcement of point 2!" Seeing the three black dots in the sky rushing towards him, he hoped that the officer would immediately dispatch the corresponding fire point to provide reinforcement.

"My time number, I'm already reinforcement!"

"Watching platform, I am No. 4! I am No. 4! I cannot reinforce now! Repeat, I cannot provide reinforcements now!" The shooter at the No. 4 fire point was not idle either. The twenty-five-mm cannon was firing an enemy plane that was constantly rolling in the sky to avoid him.

"No. 6! Can point 6 provide reinforcements!"

"No. 6 is not available!" The Sixth answer made the Honourable officer want to add dozens of air defense firepower points to the destroyer now. Even a dozen or even a few are good. But although this wish and idea is so desired, every captain is so eager. But look at the small body on the destroyer. The small tonnage of the destroyer with a 2,000-ton land area is filled with the entire destroyer, but it is not much...

Just as the watchman wanted to pick up the machine gun on the watchtower to assist in air defense, a voice came out to stop him from being the second and second. This first task is of course to coordinate and dispatch the air defense fire points to better cooperate and coordinate operations. Reasonably allocate the targets of each fire point to avoid air defense fire points from rushing to attack the same target and missing other targets.

"I am No. 5. I can see enemy planes on the port side. Now, my shooting angle is too small. I can only attack enemy planes at high altitudes! I can only attack enemy planes at high altitudes!" The sound of the fifth pointing made the watchman ecstatic. Although it is better to provide less support than a slightest.

"No. 12! I am No. 12! Five more enemy planes appeared here and rushed towards me. I can't stop it anymore!" The voice of the ground No. 12 made the faces of all the people who heard the ground change. Five enemy planes. For the air defense firepower that is already stretched, it is simply a disastrous number!

"Captain! Do you want to hide smoke?" In the cab of the Zunyi destroyer, the first mate asked the captain anxiously. All Chinese warships have a self-defense method to launch smoke. Compared with the current methods of smoking in various countries, Chinese ships have more advanced equipment for smoking. Not only is the launch method specifically for pre-installing chimneys. It can also be launched to make the smoke range and cover a larger and thicker area.

"No!" The captain re-covered the first mate's open smoke button cover and picked up the communication microphone inside the ship.

"Dear protecting flagships and aircraft carriers in their first mission. What is nice to us is the peripheral defense unit, but to put it bluntly, we are cannon fodder, protecting the main ship cannon fodder. But for us soldiers, this is our responsibility and mission. Soldiers cannot bargain with the superiors like ordinary people, and we can only obey orders completely! But everyone should know that even if we know that we want to be cannon fodder, we must play the greatest role of cannon fodder, because we block one more bullet in front of us.

The enemy fires one more shell at us, so the other brothers of our country will carry one bullet and suffer less shell! Even if we are cannon fodder, we must be vigorous and vigorous. Even if we die, we can keep the other brothers alive! I will not fire smoke to cover up our ship. I need everyone to work harder to increase the number of enemy planes attacking us! Will you support me?"

Turn off the active call button, and the captain directly adjusts the communication status to the entire ship's broadcast status!

"The engine room reports to the captain, we have always supported your decision!"

"The distribution room reports to the captain, we will fight to the last lesson!"

"The communication room report, we absolutely support it here!"

"The loss management department sends you a transfer, we have prepared universal glue to fill all loopholes on the ship!"

"Gather report, the boys here are holding kitchen knives and trying to kill the Japanese!"

"Weapons report to us, we are fighting the Japanese, and now we feel very happy, and we think it's a little more fun!"

The captain smiled slightly after reporting from the cabins. He knew that his decision was crazy, but it was the best way to help the entire fleet.

"Then, brothers, let's face everything together

Just as the Yellow Sea Fleet was fighting with Japanese fighter jets, Laiyang Airport was busy with everything, with planes taking off continuously, and more attack planes and bombers were also mounting bullets on the bomb racks, ready to give a "big gift" to the Japanese fleet that was coming to "visit"!

At the same time, the news of the Japanese attack on China was immediately sent back to the Supreme Command, and the senior officials of the command were not too surprised. Japan could never use a conventional mentality to guess their behavior.

However, on the other half of the European battlefield on Earth, the war launched by the Germans against the Soviet Union had entered a very high moment. After coordination with China, the Germans launched another large-scale attack on the Soviet Union in order to occupy more favorable terrain before entering the severe winter period and compress more living space of the Soviet Union.

For this goal, the German army's ground attack was divided into three routes. The North Army Group, commanded by Marshal Leib, is under the jurisdiction of the 16th, 18th Army and the Tank Group, with a total of 29 divisions. With the support of more than 1,000 aircraft from the 1st Air Brigade, the attack was carried out from the eastward direction to eliminate the Soviet army in the Baltic coastal areas, occupy the coastal ports, make the Soviet fleet lose its base, and prevent the Soviet army from retreating eastward from the Baltic coast, and joining the Finnish army. The North Army Group launched an attack on all the 8th Army and part of the 11th Army. The Tank Group launched a main attack along the central route, and the 18th and 16th Army were on the left and right wings.

The German "Central" Army Group undertakes the main assault mission, commanded by Marshal Bock, and is under the jurisdiction of the 9th Army and the 2nd and 3rd Tank Groups, with a total of 50 divisions and 2 brigades, supported by the 2nd Air Force 16 aircraft. Its mission is to cut off the strategic front of the Soviet defense and encircle and annihilate the Soviet army. The German "Central" Army Group launches a fierce attack on the Soviet army with a division of troops. The 3rd Tank Group on the North Road and the 3rd Tank Group on the North Army Group on the right wing of the Soviet Western Front formed an encirclement of the 3rd Army on the right wing of the Soviet Western Front.

The German "Southern" army group was commanded by Marshal Longdstedt, and was under the jurisdiction of the 6th, 17th, 1st Army, the 3rd, the 1st Army of Romania, the 1st Army of Tanks and a Hungarian Rapid Army, a total of 57 divisions and 13 brigades. It was composed of the 11th Army of the German Army and the 3rd and 13 brigades of Romania.

In Stalingrad, where the battle was most intense, in order to eliminate the 1st German Army that was advancing the Volga River, the assault cluster led by Major General Kovarenko carried out counterattacks twice. Although this caused great casualties to the enemy, it failed to eliminate or drive them away.

The 1st German Army was entrenched in a narrow corridor about a kilometers long and only a kilometers wide. The situation in Stalingrad became increasingly serious, and the Front Command announced martial law throughout the city. The Urban Defense Committee called on all citizens to rise up and defend their homes, and all those who can take weapons to defend the city. At the same time, in order to reduce the supply burden and safety, 300,000 citizens were prepared to evacuate to the east bank of the Volga River. Stalingrad was a powerful arsenal of the Soviet army, with 150,000 employees producing for the front line, directly helping the defenders of the city to defend the fortress on the Volga River.
