Chapter 156: Deliberately making things difficult
Foot Island, Lotus Military Port Naval Air Station.
"Lao Zhu, enough is enough."
"What is he......
"Calm down, don't worry about him. Didn't Lao Bai often say, you were bitten by a dog, and you have to bite it back? ”
Zhu Huasheng was still angry, but when Shen Pu said this, he finally held back.
This is not a question of whether to care about it or not, it is a matter of crushing people to death at the level of officials and universities, and if it really starts a trouble, it will definitely affect others.
Turning his head and glaring at the major general who was standing behind the window on the second floor, staring at them, Zhu Huasheng walked towards the military vehicle parked on the side of the road.
That's right, that guy is Liu Xiangbin.
After coming to the Lotus Military Port Naval Air Station, Zhu Huasheng and Shen Pu learned that Liu Xiangbin had been appointed by the Navy Command as the commander of the Foot Island garrison.
At that time, the two had a bad premonition.
It's just that the garrison headquarters is in Ashibei City, and the Lotus Military Port is just a small port, and the base commander promised to fully support them, so the two didn't think much about it. They were only temporarily deployed to Ashishima and had to return to the wing's station after the battle was over.
The war has broken out, and Liu Xiangbin does not dare to do anything harmful to the empire.
Not to mention that it is a second ancestor, even if it is a prince, as long as he violates military law, he must be beheaded, and there is absolutely no extralegal expression.
It's a pity that the two of them thought things simple.
Less than two o'clock in the afternoon, the carrier-based plane of the Third Air Task Force brought the news, and when Zhu Huasheng and Shen Pu discussed how to arrange the reconnaissance operation, Liu Xiangbin came.
After this guy got off the plane, the first order he gave was to prohibit the planes in the air station from taking off.
The 1st Carrier-Based Aviation Wing is no exception.
The reason he gave was that it was necessary to use all the forces that could be mobilized in order to prepare for the war operation on the Sadou Islands in the north and south.
It was precisely because of this that Zhu Huasheng and Shen Pu went to find him.
It stands to reason that their identities are a little shorter.
Don't forget, Liu Xiangbin is already a rear admiral, and Zhu Huasheng and Shen Pu are just major captains, and Liu Xiangbin's counterpart is actually Li Yunxiang.
At the very least, Li Yunxiang is still the nominal wing commander of the First Carrier-based Air Wing.
It's a pity that Li Yunxiang is not here.
When negotiating with Liu Xiangbin, the two did not emphasize the matter of the Third Air Task Force, after all, Liu Xiangbin was the temporary commander of the Third Air Task Force before, and was later replaced by Bai Zhizhan. Even if this is the result of the lottery and is not deliberately aimed at him, but a small-bellied chicken intestine will definitely not care about this. In front of him, the Third Air Task Force was tantamount to revealing his scars.
For a villain who is bound to repay himself, can such provocations be tolerated?
The two only said one thing: The First Carrier-based Aviation Wing only came to Ashishima temporarily according to the deployment of the Southern Fleet, and it did not belong to the Ashishima garrison, and the actions of the First Carrier-based Aviation Wing had nothing to do with Liu Xiangbin's action of marching into the North and South Sadou Islands.
To put it simply, the 1st Carrier Air Wing is not under the jurisdiction of the Commander of the Ashishima Garrison.
To put it mildly, the well water does not interfere with the river water. You take your Yangguan Road, I cross my single-plank bridge, and it is good that we can be safe.
As a result, Liu Xiangbin promised to ignore them, but he would not provide any support.
After the quarrel broke out, Liu Xiangbin called all the officers and officers in charge of the air station in front of the two of them, and ordered that they should not be allowed to provide any kind of assistance to the personnel and planes of the First Carrier-based Air Wing, not only fuel, but also not to use the facilities and equipment of the base.
Then, Liu Xiangbin also ordered to take over the combat aircraft of the First Carrier-based Aviation Wing.
It's not a takeover, it's a temporary requisition.
In his words, he is the supreme commander and has the right to requisition combat units within his jurisdiction in order to complete the combat tasks assigned by his superiors.
Have a different opinion?
Yes, go through the normal procedure, report to the Navy Command, and the Navy Command will order adjustments.
The point is that the Ashishima garrison is an independent force, which is not under the jurisdiction of the Southern Fleet and the Home Fleet, and is only at the disposal of the naval command.
Such an arrangement is only made because Ashishima is between the Asahi Sea and the Yan Sea.
For the past few decades, Ashishima has served as a buffer between the Home Fleet and the Southern Fleet, thus demarcating the jurisdiction of the two fleets.
Liu Xiangbin took the order of the naval headquarters, while Zhu Huasheng and Shen Pu took the order of the Southern Fleet.
Obviously, unless he can get the order of the Navy Command, even if Liu Xiangbin is deliberately making things difficult, Zhu Huasheng and Shen Pu will not be able to deal with him.
At that time, Zhu Huasheng was so angry that he almost beat someone.
Fortunately, Shenpu was not confused.
Even if Liu Xiangbin is not their direct superior, it is not a trivial matter to beat a senior general.
"What now?"
After calming down, Zhu Huasheng was not so angry.
began to show the appearance of being angry, and he was also singing a duet with Shen Pu, if the two of them were very good at talking, they would definitely be eaten to death by Liu Xiangbin.
"First of all, we have to find a way to send the news to Lao Bai and let him know that our side is in trouble and there is no way to act according to his arrangement."
"Try it with the base commander."
"There needs to be a valid reason."
Zhu Huasheng rubbed his forehead before he said, "Didn't that second cargo let us go and get the order from the Navy Command?" Let's just say that it was a report to the command of the Navy. ”
"It's not that easy." Shenpu's meaning is very simple, the telegraph operator is the officer and soldier of the base, and others may not dare to do anything that goes against the commander of the garrison.
Liu Xiangbin couldn't move the two of them, but it was not easy to deal with the disobedient officers and soldiers under him.
Now, in wartime, according to the military law of the Imperial Navy, the commander has the absolute right to dispose of it, and the officers and men who act against the order can be cut first and then played.
"Then just send a report to the Navy Command."
"You mean, the naval command will relay the telegram to Lao Bai?" Shenpu was a little confused, or worried, after all, they were only small majors.
"Whether it will be or not, that's the only way to do it now."
Zhu Huasheng made his words clear, and Shen Pu didn't think much about it, and nodded in agreement.
At this time, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.
The 3rd Air Task Force, "Imperial Capital".
Aviation service personnel are still busy, and after the morning's fighting, there are already less than a hundred carrier-based aircraft available, including more than forty fighters.
According to the requirements, the service personnel first prepared the torpedo planes and bombers capable of carrying out reconnaissance missions to take off.
It's just that Bai Zhizhan has not given the order to dispatch until now.
True, he was waiting for news.
If Zhu Huasheng and Shen Pu had acted in accordance with his deployment and sent reconnaissance planes to search for the No. 1 main combat team, there would have been no need for the Third Air Task Force to dispatch reconnaissance planes.
After the first carrier-based aviation Liandi found the first main team, it was enough to wait for the opportunity to launch a strike.
Of course, when the time comes, which main team to attack will be determined by the actual situation.
The only thing that is certain is that the afternoon bombardment was mainly against the battleships.
For this reason, Bai Zhizhan had already asked Li Yunxiang to make arrangements, that is, to tell the service personnel to set the fuses of bombs and the depth of torpedoes according to the standards for striking battleships.
In addition, it is to let the pilot know in advance about the situation of the bombing target.
