Chapter 241: Ryukyu Sea and Air Battle

Kumejima's actions caused great panic among the people of the islands. Pinshu.com

If an airport is built here, it will not be easy for them to take Naha, and it will also threaten Taiwan's colonies and maritime transportation. The navy of the island nation finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to gather four aircraft carriers to destroy everything there with long-range artillery fire and fighters!

The strength of the Japanese army surprised Hu Zhiyong. This is the same as the largest naval battle in history, allowing the little devil to stage the biggest naval and air battle in advance.

"Tell Su Xiqing to use helicopters and fighter bombers to consume the Japanese army first, and see what new weapons he is equipped with!"

"Young master, can we use air-to-air missiles, air-to-surface missiles, surface-to-air missiles, and surface-to-surface missiles?" Su Xiqing received the call and hurriedly asked.

"The most dangerous moment, don't keep it!" Hu Zhiyong knew that if he couldn't defeat the little devil navy, he was afraid that Ryukyu Island would not be able to be saved, and it would be difficult for Su Xiqing's more than 200,000 people to escape.

"Yes!" Su Xiqing heard the words of the most dangerous moment from Hu Zhiyong's mouth, and felt that this battle was extraordinary. He hurriedly turned on the communication and gave pre-battle orders to all troops.

"The little devils are divided into four ways to attack, and we must meet the enemy separately! Tokunoshima wants to use the air force to block the Japanese army beyond 300 nautical miles and destroy their naval vitality with missiles! ”

"Yes!"

Air Force Commander Walsh hurriedly agreed, put down the phone and discussed with Maier on Kume Island: "You can only attack by helicopter, don't attack at 5,000 meters!" In this battle, if we promise, we will gain the trust of the young master, and if we can't win, we should leave this group of good buddies! ”

"Commander, I'm confident!" The armed helicopter he led is a multi-purpose type, one is a large flight speed, the maximum speed can exceed 300 kilometers per hour, and the other is flexible response and good maneuverability; Third, it can fly close to the sea surface and has good concealment.

A 30 mm cannon was mounted on board. It can be equipped with 16 anti-tank missiles or 4 air-to-air missiles, rocket artillery and other weapons, and can carry out anti-tank and ground attacks.

Walsh nodded after thinking: "You specialize in dealing with the little devil's plane, I let the air defense forces and missiles on the ground cooperate with you, this time it is a coordinated operation, and all weapons may be used!" ”

“OK！” Maier agreed, hung up the phone and began to give orders: "Watch the Japanese army, and when they enter the 200 nautical mile, the first and second brigades will take off at the same time!" ”

"Yes!" The pilots were all disciples of this foreigner, so they naturally believed in his orders.

The Akagi was restarted in November 1923, launched in April 1925, and completed in March 1927. Its three decks are designed to be quite special: the top deck is the landing deck for aircraft; On the second deck, there is a bridge and two twin 203 mm guns, so it is called the "turret deck"; The third level is the take-off deck, which is 56.7 meters long and can carry 60 fighters (16 fighters, 16 reconnaissance aircraft and 28 attack aircraft). The test displacement is 34364 tons, the speed is 31 knots.

In order to deal with the difficult blood wolf troops, in 1938, the "Akagi" underwent a major refit, dismantling the original turret deck and take-off deck, extending the top deck into a flight deck, increasing the number of carrier-based aircraft to 91 (16 Type 96 fighters, 51 Type 96 attack aircraft, and 24 Type 96 dive bombers), the number of aircraft transport aircraft was also increased from 2 to 3, and the port side of the flight deck was added to the ship island. The test displacement was increased to 41,300 tons, and the speed was 31.2 knots.

The Akagi aircraft carrier was named after Mt. Akagi in the northeastern part of the island nation of Kansai, and Mizuno Junichi took office at the end of 1937. This aircraft carrier, because it is well equipped, is responsible for the attack mission of this battle.

When he set off from the Nagasaki military port, he was in high spirits and wanted to perform in front of Commander Yamamoto Isoroku. But he sadly found that not far from the Black Island, he was covered with bruises from the cannon fire in the sky!

The anti-aircraft artillery fire did not see the plane, and the bombs flew over with long eyes. Junichi Mizuno was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered all the warships to retreat, telling Yamamoto Isoroku about the attack.

"Yaga!" Yamamoto Fifty-six's face turned white, and after reading the message, he looked up at the sky: "With such a plane and such a bomb, we can only be beaten passively!" ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, from the Battle of Huaxia to today, I suspect that the Huaxia people are using conspiracy. Why don't the people of the Northeast attack the South? Could it be that they would be afraid of Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist government? After the occupation of Hong Kong, why didn't they use this weapon against our attacking troops? ”

The captain of the Amagi aircraft carrier had a gloomy face full of doubts in his heart.

"You can't attack, the four aircraft carriers are under annihilating fire at any time!" Yamamoto didn't answer the commander of the Amagi aircraft carrier, but he thought about the situation in front of him.

"Order the troops, I don't want to see the four aircraft carriers knocked out, then our navy will be finished!" Seeing that Yamamoto didn't answer his own question, he already knew that the wise commander already had the answer.

"Anticlimactic!" The Japanese navy retreated quickly, and the air force attack only sank a frigate and seriously damaged the Akagi. Su Xiqing snorted coldly, understanding that he would live in peace for a while recently.

"Commander, I think this air-to-sea operation is very rewarding!" Walsh took the microphone and said seriously and seriously: "First of all, we have tested the strike capability of our weapons, and secondly, we have understood the range of weapons against the air of the Japanese aircraft carriers!" ”

"Yes, you're right!" Su Xiqing praised Walsh: "Do you know why the young master sent you as a commander?" Because you are cautious! The battle is over, study the whole battle process well, the little devil won't give up! ”

"NAO, NAO, they will die in half a year!" Walsh smiled: "Without weapons against us, he won't come to harass again anytime soon!" ”

In the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Hirohito and the people of the Admiralty, the War Department, and the base camp were once again in a state of silence. In the southern battlefield of China, it seems that the island countries have taken the lead. In fact, the Kuomintang did not confront him head-on, and the main force would take the initiative to jump out of the encirclement in a battle.

The troops of the GCD were even more cunning, and they had to send troops to guard every place in the Japanese theater of operations. The surrendered Imperial Allied Army did not contribute to the battle, and staying behind was not reassuring.

There is a problem in Xianguo, Ryukyu is occupied by blood wolves, and Hong Kong never wants to take it again. They were saddened to find that the bigger the war and the more problems there were, it almost brought down the entire national economy.

"Your Majesty, we can't continue to expand the battlefield, we will be dragged down!" Fumiro Konoe was the first eldest son born to his wife in the 250-year history of the Konoe family, and has been regarded as the jewel of his palm since the day he was born. Due to the relationship between the family and the emperor, Konoe Fumiro was deeply educated and trained by the "Imperial Ping Domain" since he was a child.

On February 26, 1936, young officers and soldiers of the "Imperial Road" faction among the warlords of the island country launched the February 26 Incident, which led to the collapse of Keisuke Okada's cabinet. In order to curb the power of the military department, Saionji Konozo recommended to the emperor that his disobedient disciple Konoe organize a new cabinet, but Konoe was inclined to the "Imperial Road" faction and found it difficult to deal with the 226 incident, so he refused on the grounds of poor health.

Konoe resolutely refused to form a cabinet because he believed that "even if there was an order from the emperor, there was no one within the army who could discuss policy." The two cabinets of Hirota Hiroki and Hayashi Mijuro, who took over, collapsed one after another after just over a year because they could not control the political contradictions in the country.

Everyone agreed that there was no second person to succeed the prime minister other than Konoe. On June 4, 1937, Konoe was appointed to form a cabinet and established the first Konoe Cabinet, and Konoe, who was 46 years old at the time, was called the "Young Prime Minister".

The newspapers referred to his cabinet as the "Young Cabinet" and the "Bright Cabinet," and most people expected him to become the prime minister who would break the dullness of Japanese society.

"Tell me what you think!" The emperor still trusted Konoe and nodded his head to continue.

"Consolidate the existing occupied areas and secure the ports of Shanghai and Lianyungang. As a last resort, we can only retreat and negotiate with Chiang Kai-shek! "Fumiro Konoe has a conceited and stubborn character, and he hardly worships any historical figures. However, he did see the crisis from the current situation, and advocated holding on to the existing occupation area and dumping a large amount of grain and materials in exchange for China's profits.

"That's how it should be!" Hirohito nodded: "We will make every effort to consolidate southern China and vigorously develop the resources of Myanmar and Vietnam." Ryukyu will be put first, and when we have enough ability, we will never allow the Ryukyuan people to become independent! ”

"Hayi!" Regardless of the military and political officials, no one raised any objections at this time.

In Phoenix, the Industrial City has been completely completed, and green trees and flowers are currently being built. The mud dug up from the newly built airport is transported here and paved with a thickness of several meters, and the art and flowers planted on it will make the new city look beautiful.

The commercial city began a major construction, and it was decided to complete the construction in five years. Hu Zhiyong answered Su Xiqing's report at this time, and smiled slightly at the original form of the Japanese army.

"Sanshao, the Japanese army has also stopped attacking in southern China, I don't understand, there are more than two million troops in the north and more than four million troops in the south, if they work together, the little devils can still hold the occupied area?"

Seeing Hu Zhiyong hang up his phone, Xie Jinyuan asked in confusion.

"Lao Jiang is afraid that GCD will go to the south to occupy territory, and GCD is afraid that Lao Jiang will surrender and betray the country if he is forced too hard!" Hu Zhiyong smiled and said why the Chinese battlefield was like this.

"Is it just like this, let the people of the island occupy it, let them slaughter our compatriots at will, and steal our supplies?" Xie Jinyuan only understood the problem of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party at this time, and he was strongly dissatisfied with his superiors.

"Long pain is better than short pain, we have to endure this pain first!" Hu Zhiyong's eyes flashed with fierce brilliance: "Revenge, we want to revenge, and the blood debt must be repaid by them with blood!" ”
