Chapter 51: Dogfight (2)
The Dangkou Army, which had not moved, suddenly moved south to Incheon, which not only shocked the Korean Japanese army, but also uncovered the mystery for the Far Eastern Japanese Army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 By the time the Korean Japanese army mobilized heavy troops to enter Incheon, the Dangkou Army had already formed a joint encirclement and attack on the southeast of Pyongyang.
The New Army had cut off the passage between the Korean Japanese army and the northeast, and the Korean Independence Army was also actively carrying out activities in the northern part of Korea. What is the purpose of this move? The Japanese army couldn't understand it, and there were many high-level officials in Chongqing who were confused, but Chiang Kai-shek and Zhou Enlai, who knew the inside story, pretended not to know, and the situation became more bizarre step by step.
Three days later, when the military commanders learned that the Japanese were preparing to use their South China Sea fleet to attack China's coastal cities, Zhuo Fei was not alarmed, but became more and more excited. "Immediately inform MacArthur that he should be ready to attack the Philippines at any time, and the umbrella will help him contain the Japanese South China Sea Fleet." MacArthur has not been able to launch an attack on the Philippines, the main reason is because of the Japanese South China Sea Fleet, although the strength of the Japanese South China Sea Fleet is not as strong as the Combined Fleet, but it is easy to crush the temporary fleet of the United States and Australia.
"The Japanese used their South China Sea Fleet to attack China's coastal cities in order to force the Chinese government to shift its focus from the northeast to the coast, otherwise it would repeat the crisis that affected the whole situation because of the defeat at Songhu. What I want to say is that the new army must not be pulled back, but should instead intensify its attack on Changchun and force the Japanese army to transfer their South China Sea fleet to Chinese waters earlier to prepare for war. Zhuo Fei, who hurriedly took a military plane to Chongqing, rushed to the South Bank Villa non-stop, and in front of a group of high-level officials, Zhuo Fei and Pan launched their own plans.
"The umbrella has already mobilized a large number of engineers and scientists to modify the weapon systems of all the current fighters of the umbrella, and up to now, 7 percent of the fighters of the umbrella have been refitted, and these modified fighters have already had world-class air combat capabilities, even against the new equipment of the Japanese army's zero fighters, they will definitely not fall behind. What's more, these modified fighters are all equipped with air-to-ground rockets, and if the Japanese South China Sea Fleet dares to attack, the umbrella aviation unit will definitely not let them leave alive. ”
"Umbrella has built secret airfields in the Shandong Peninsula, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong, and as long as the time comes, within half an hour, more than 300 fighters of all kinds will be able to take to the air to prepare for war." As soon as Zhuo Fei's words came out, the high-level people came to their senses, and dared to feel that Zhuo Fei was waiting for the Japanese South China Sea Fleet to send him to the door, and the umbrella was ready to meet the Japanese fleet. At the end of the three-hour meeting, Zhuo Fei successfully persuaded the Chongqing top management to agree to his plan, although this plan would hurt the interests of a small number of people, but for the sake of the country's interests, Zhuo Fei had to do so.
The Japanese army was preparing to mobilize the South China Sea Fleet to attack China's coastal areas, and this news was deliberately disclosed by the Japanese army to the military commanders, but what the Japanese army never expected was that the Chinese government did not seem to react at all to the news deliberately revealed by the Japanese army. The Chinese government did not react, but the new army in the northeast increased the intensity of the attack on the Japanese army in Changchun, and the Japanese army, which had to be forced to send arrows, had to order the South China Sea Fleet to go north through the Japanese cabinet, and the proud Japanese army was preparing to repeat the invasion of the Chinese mainland.
The Japanese army transferred troops north in accordance with the armistice agreement, but Shanghai has always been under the control of the Japanese army, so it is impossible for the Japanese South China Sea Fleet to go north this time, and it is impossible to take Shanghai as the main target of attack, and the Yangtze River, which has no defense to speak of but has an important location, has become the best choice for the South China Sea Fleet. The Yangtze River is very long, and the section of the river suitable for the South China Sea Fleet is also very long, and if the South China Sea Fleet is willing, they may be able to follow the Yangtze River all the way to Chongqing.
"China has a long coastline, and if we only do passive defense, then no matter how many aircraft we have, it will not help. At present, the only way is to send additional ground manpower to carry out coastal vigilance along several coastlines that are most suitable for landing operations; once the alert personnel discover the traces of the Japanese South China Sea Fleet, they will immediately inform the local garrison, and the local garrison will report to the air service joint command center, and we can mobilize fighters to take the initiative to attack. ”
"If the guards we arranged fail to find the traces of the Japanese fleet at the first time, if the Japanese fleet succeeds in a sneak attack, does it mean that we must suffer certain losses first, especially casualties, I am talking about the people in the coastal areas." Some government representatives present at the meeting were skeptical of the response of Merkel, the interim commander of the parachute team, but the vast majority of those present were silent.
Merkel is a burly man with a standard professional military face, which makes it easy to think that he is just a man with developed limbs and a simple mind, but this is not the case. In response to the other party's question, Merkel didn't even raise her eyelids, but calmly replied, "As long as it is war, death and sacrifice cannot be avoided, and our umbrella has taken out all the planes, and even so, we can't take care of everything." If that doesn't work, then we can only ask pilots to fly around the clock, with offshore flight alert on all coastlines. ”
"It's just that in this way, not only will the pilot's physical strength be exhausted, but our fuel supply will also be in short supply, and without enough pilots and fuel, the plane will not be able to take all the planes into the air. You must know that we are facing a Japanese fleet, and even if the Japanese South China Sea Fleet is not the main fleet, it is still a strong opponent for us. Merkel's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, and there were no loopholes between the words that could make the other party attack.
"Anyway, that's what our umbrella can think of, and if you can have other good solutions, you might as well say it. A big war is imminent, and this is a time when we need to join forces to defeat the enemy, not mutual suspicion. Zhuo Fei, who had finished his meeting with Chiang Kai-shek, hurried to the meeting place, and in a few words, he picked on the loss clearly, which was nothing more than that these government representatives were dissatisfied and wanted to obey Merkel's temporary command.
Zhuo Fei's arrival made the once chaotic venue instantly quiet, as the so-called shadow of the famous tree, the current Zhuo Fei is not when he just formed a protective umbrella and first came to Chongqing. Now Zhuo Fei is a person who can reach the heavens, entering and exiting the South Bank Villa and No. 50 Zeng Jiayan like his own backyard, and he also carries the titles of Duke of England and Governor of Bangladesh. Zhuo Fei spoke with strength, and immediately suppressed the chaos in the venue, and the subsequent discussion process seemed much smoother.
"Boss, if there is such a meeting next time, can I not come to it." After the meeting, Merkel, who walked out of the venue, whispered to Zhuo Fei, and her face full of vicissitudes actually showed a look of embarrassment. "These people's minds are not put on what they should worry about, I don't want to work with such people, I'm afraid I can't help but beat them up then."
Merkel's expression at this time really made Zhuo Fei curious, this product has been under the umbrella for more than a year and a half, and Zhuo Fei has never seen such an expression on the face of a big man like Merkel. "Merkel, I sympathize with you very, very much, and I would like to promise you, but you know, it can't be, because you're a temporary commander. Until George returns, you'll have to keep the Flying Team in check with the troublemakers, and I can't seem to find a better fit other than you. ”
Merkel had no choice but to promise to continue, but Zhuo Fei couldn't really ignore Merkel's request, so he transferred Vivian, who is good at handling relations between all parties, to Merkel to help Merkel deal with foreign relations. Zhuo Fei's current arrangements are all passive defense, and until the location of the Japanese South China Sea Fleet is truly determined, all the fighters under the umbrella can only stay in the heavily protected airfield.
The military commanders, the CCP's special department, and some local forces in order to reward money are all doing their best to find out the location and targets of the Japanese South China Sea Fleet, and no one would have thought that the Japanese South China Sea Fleet that was heading north from the Philippine waters has sailed to the East China Sea, which is more than 100 nautical miles away from Hangzhou Bay. After the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese army has been firmly in control of Shanghai, and even Hangzhou and Ningbo have become Japanese ruled areas, so Hangzhou Bay has also been fully controlled by the Japanese army.
Japan negotiated an armistice and peace with the Chongqing government, and while the Japanese troops in other areas retreated northward, the Japanese troops controlling Shanghai and Hangzhou Bay remained in place, and the arrogant Japanese wanted to turn Shanghai into a bridgehead for another invasion of China. Shanghai was under the control of the Japanese army, and the same was true of Hangzhou Bay, so the Japanese South China Sea Fleet, which left the Philippine waters and went all the way north, would be relieved and bold to approach Hangzhou Bay, and they did not think that the Chinese army had the ability to deal with ships at sea.
"Is the message confirmed? Send someone to confirm the news immediately, I want to know the authenticity of the news. A few hours later, a military intelligence officer lurking in the Japanese army headquarters in Hangzhou sent out the news that the Japanese army in Hangzhou had received a secret order from the Shanghai command to strengthen the vigilance of Hangzhou Bay and prepare a large number of daily necessities, including guides who were familiar with the hydrology of the Yangtze River. When the information reached the headquarters of the military command, Dai Li, who learned of the incident, could hardly control his emotions, and immediately ordered to confirm the authenticity of the information and immediately report the information to the air service joint command headquarters.
