Chapter 717: Raid

Having completed the mission, Sadachi Yoshimoto rushed back to Mukden by plane, found General Mijiro Umezu, and reported the results to him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After hearing this, Umezu Mijiro nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yo Xi, Yoshimoto-kun did a good job this time, since Pu Yi has handed over the first division, you will directly order the first division to be transferred to Jinzhou to standby, and if there is any situation, immediately rush to reinforcements." ”

Yoshimoto Sadachi said with some puzzlement: "Your Excellency Commander, do you really believe the words of those death-fearing ghosts in the Kannai?" Even children don't believe such an obvious lie, and if we really make a big move, I'm afraid we will be laughed to death! ”

Umezu Mijiro glared at Yoshimoto Sadachi and reprimanded: "You still don't understand, what Su Jin will come to attack Manchuria is just a gimmick, our real purpose is to catch the first division in our hands, Pu Yi's strength is still a little too inflated during this time, we have to cool him down!" ”

"Yo Xi, so that's it!" Yoshimoto immediately understood when he heard it.

Although the prestige of the Third Army has long spread to the Japanese mainland, and the Japanese troops in the Guannai have even reached the extent that their faces have changed when they talk about Su Jin, they are really not very afraid of the Kwantung Army, which is entrenched outside the Guandong Army, which is accustomed to being the king and hegemon, after all, the Kwantung Army has been targeting the Soviet troops in Outer Mongolia since the first day of its establishment, and the national army in the Guannai has never been in their eyes. What's more, in Umezu Mijiro's opinion, if the Third Army wants to attack the Northeast, then it can only take the sea route, once they dare to attack the Northeast by sea, as long as the combined fleet of the Great Nippinichi Empire blocks the sea passage, and the troops without logistics and supplies, even if they are heavenly soldiers and generals, they can only become turtles in the urn, so as long as Su Jin's brain is not broken, he will not do such a stupid thing.

But things came back to the beginning, since the possibility of the Third Army attacking the northeast was almost zero, why did Umezu Mijiro rush to get Puyi's first division? This has to be related to the First Division, in order to prepare for the construction of the First Division, Pu Yi and his group of Manchu remnants and young people have gone to great lengths, not only inviting Japanese instructors to train this unit, but also spending a huge amount of money to buy a large number of munitions from the Japanese army, for this army these people have almost emptied their families.

Although the scale of this army is not large, and Pu Yi has obeyed the Japanese government to the point that even Ri himself cannot find fault with it, Pu Yi still overestimates his position in the heart of the Japanese himself. Don't look at the day I always look very respectful to Pu Yi on weekdays, but this relationship is at best just an owner's attitude towards his own pet, don't look at the owner's usual favorite pet to his own pet, but once this pet has the ability to threaten the owner's safety, the owner who is always amiable on weekdays will immediately raise the butcher knife without hesitation. It's a pity that Pu Yi and his gang of old and young people don't understand this truth, and they try their best to pull up this army, but in the end they are jealous of their masters, and finally end up being beaten by chickens and eggs.

The black night hung quietly in the sky, the cool air of the early morning kept blowing, because the sky was not yet bright, the seagulls that always like to roam the sea on weekdays were gone, and only a few dolphins were playing with each other on the sea. At this time, a fleet came from the sea level in the distance, and when the fleet approached, the dolphins that were playing were first frightened and quickly burrowed into the bottom of the sea, and after a while they peeked their heads out to observe.

This is a rather large fleet, consisting of one aircraft carrier, four escort carriers, three cruisers, thirteen destroyers, and dozens of freighters and troop carriers, covering a radius of several square kilometers.

On the deck of the Yue Fei escort aircraft carrier, rows of planes were neatly arranged, and hundreds of ground crews wearing various vests were busy doing the final inspection of these planes with the help of the dim lights around them. In the cockpit of these planes, all the pilots were already in place, and many pilots kept turning their heads to look at the island-shaped building on the right side with some nervousness.

On the island-shaped building on the right, Su Jin stood behind the glass window and looked at the neatly arranged planes on the deck.

"Sir, now we are still thirty kilometers away from the port of Huludao! General Laborde asked if the fleet would take off immediately? ”

A voice sounded behind Su Jin.

Su Jin raised his head from his deep groan, he turned his head and said aloud to the staff officer behind him: "You tell Lieutenant General Laborde that he is the commander of this landing operation, and it should be up to him to decide whether to let the group take off, not to ask me as a layman!" ”

"Understood!" The staff officer snapped a salute and turned and walked out.

Two minutes later, the four Tiger aircraft carriers in the fleet, the "Bayane", Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Meng Hui, and Di Qing, suddenly rang loudly, and then the lights on the entire deck were lit up, illuminating the entire deck. As the bell rang, the ground crews who were busy in the distance began to evacuate the deck one after another, and the hatches of the planes began to close, and with the roar of the engines, accompanied by puffs of green smoke, the propellers of all the fighters began to rotate, and the entire deck was filled with the pungent smell of fuel that had not yet been completely burned.

On the aircraft carrier "Byann" at the forefront, a ground crew member wearing a yellow vest stood on the right side of the deck runway, holding a small red flag high in his right hand and waving it suddenly, and beside him, a shrew fighter plane that had increased the throttle to the maximum rushed forward, and the 6-ton fuselage rushed forward quickly, and after taxiing for about 150 meters, it began to take off and fly towards the sky.

The take-off of this shrew fighter plane seemed to be a signal, and soon one plane after another followed it and rushed into the sky, and after more than 10 minutes, the 152 planes on the aircraft carrier "Bayarn" and the four escort aircraft carriers had all taken off and flew in the northwest direction.

On the conning tower of the Yue Fei escort aircraft carrier, Su Jin looked at the dense fighters who were sorting out the formation in front of him, and his palms began to ooze sweat. Over the years, he has participated in dozens of large and small battles, but this is the first time for him to carry out a new thing, and if this landing battle fails, then he can only return to Hangzhou with the fleet in disgrace, and he will be intercepted by the Japanese fleet that heard the news halfway, and such a blow is undoubtedly huge for him and the Third Army.

"Wow......"

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, followed by Fred's voice.

"Your Excellency General, I'm going down to command the troops to prepare for the landing, do you have anything else to say?"

Su Jin said without looking back: "I have said everything that should be said, here I can only wish you all the best, remember that if you encounter fierce resistance, you must remember to call for air support, and you must not be a hero, understand?" Also, you have to protect yourself, I don't want you to do anything bad at that time, at that time Adele will definitely cry and shout for me to find someone, I can't change into a person for her."

There was silence behind him, and the expected counterattack did not come. Su Jin couldn't help but turn around a little strangely, but found that there was a slender and beautiful female colonel standing next to Fred, and this colonel was staring at him with almost fire-breathing eyes at this time.

After coughing lightly twice, Su Jin snorted and said, "Aha...... Adele, you're there too! Are you all ready? ”

Adele ignored Su Jin's words, but walked up to Su Jin and asked word by word: "Your Excellency General, am I such an immature person in your eyes?" ”

Seeing that there was no way to fool around, Su Jin had to smile bitterly: "Ah, this, in fact, I'm just joking with Fred, Adele, you don't have to take it too seriously." ”

Adele did not accept such an explanation, but stared at Su Jin and said coldly: "Your Excellency General, you are the commander of a group army, don't you think it is very unappropriate to make such a joke at the moment of the big war?" ”

"Alright, Adele, it's just a joke, why are you so serious!" At this time, Fred on the side saw that his daughter was still unrelentingly questioning Su Jin, for fear that his boss would be annoyed and angry and not be able to come to the stage, so he hurriedly spoke out for Su Jin to relieve the siege.

What else can Su Jin say, this German New Zealand's temper has not changed at all, he can't be angry about this.

After coughing lightly, Su Jin said, "Okay, the offensive has begun, you guys will start preparing for the beach landing according to the original plan!" ”

"Yes!"

After the two left, Su Jin faintly heard Fred's complaining voice in the wind, "Adele, if you still have this temper, I'm worried that you will really not be able to marry in this life." ”

"Why, are you so disdainful of your daughter......

At this time, Su Jin didn't have time to pay attention to the dispute between the father and daughter, but strode towards the command room, where there were more important things waiting for him to do......

Huludao is located in the southwest of Liaoning Province, is a natural ice-free port with a very good geographical location, and is also the most important submarine base in China in another time and space.

Four to five o'clock in the morning is the time when people sleep most soundly, and everyone in the entire port of Huludao is immersed in their own dreams, except for the guards standing guard. In the port of Huludao, the four submarines of the Fifth Destroyer Team of the Third Fleet, including Chunfeng, Qifeng, Chaofeng, and the Ninth and Thirteenth Diving Teams, were quietly shaking under the lapping of the waves, and all the Japanese troops in the port did not expect that a fleet full of hatred was heading towards them, and the most fatal thing was that there were more than 100 heavily armed planes flying towards them in front of this fleet.

In this formation, the one who flew the shrew fighter plane at the front was none other than Chen Zhiming, the commander of the Second Air Division, one of the most qualified and oldest pilots, Chen Zhiming can be said to be the second person besides Chu Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the Air Force. It stands to reason that he should not personally lead the team in this mission, but because this air raid was too important, Chen Zhiming, who was really not at ease, volunteered to be the commander-in-chief of this air raid.

More than 30 kilometers is really a very short distance for a formation, and more than 10 minutes after the aircraft carrier took off, the entire flight formation flew over Huludao.

At this time, the actions of the entire formation could no longer be concealed, the rumbling engine resounded in the sky over the entire port, with the help of sporadic lights in the port, Chen Zhiming quickly locked on the target, he turned on the public channel and ordered: "The third squad will go out and throw flares before starting!" ”

Soon, the four shrew fighters immediately broke away from the formation and dived towards the ground, and when they dived to an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, they quickly separated, only to see a bright light flash under their belly at the same time, and four large flares were fired out at the same time, and then the entire port was lit up, and almost at the same time, the terrible siren sounded in the port.

Just as the sirens sounded in the harbor, the first group of SBD-5 dreadnought dive bombers, which was responsible for bombing, also broke away from the formation and pounced on several destroyers in the harbor.

"Woooooooooo......oo Woowoo woo ......"

As the sirens sounded, the originally silent harbor boiled like boiling hot oil, the lights in the harbor were lit up one after another, countless people woke up from their sleep, and the decks of the seven or eight destroyers moored in the harbor began to be full of people, and countless sailors began to run to the gun positions on the deck. Some sailors began to take off their gun suits, some hurriedly brought in shells, and some sat on the gun emplacement, shook the high and low planes, and began to turn the gun emplacements to prepare for air shooting.

But it was over, and the senseless dive bombers that had seized the lead had already flown over their heads and began to drop bombs, and heavy aerial bombs fell on their heads.

The first warship to be hit by the bomb was the destroyer Chunfeng, the middle deck of this destroyer, which was only more than 2,200 tons, was hit by a bomb weighing 250 kilograms, the bomb penetrated the deck of the destroyer and exploded in the middle, and the huge shock wave tore the poor warship in two, and more than 160 sailors and warships sank to the bottom of the sea in less than a minute.

"Boom...... Boom Boom Boom ......"

The continuous explosions burned the entire port red, and the continuous burning flames turned the port into daylight, and the whole port almost burned.

Seeing the port below that was lit red by the firelight, Chen Zhiming calmly did not have the mercy of No. 4, and he decisively ordered: "The 1st Escort Group has begun to conduct free firing ...... on the port" (to be continued. )
