On the blue sea, the fleet led by Nagumo Tadaichi was sailing at a high speed of 30 knots and riding the wind and waves, starting with three "Fuyuki" class destroyers, which are the most outstanding destroyers of the Japanese Navy at present, and are known for their long range, fast speed, and strong attack power; behind these two destroyers are four huge aircraft carriers following closely behind, and on the left, right, and rear sides of the aircraft carriers are surrounded by more than a dozen cruisers, destroyers, and even supply ships. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It stands to reason that such a large fleet will cause a burst of amazement and even panic wherever it appears, but at this time the atmosphere in this fleet is extremely tense, the anti-aircraft guns of all warships have faded their armor, the muzzles are all pointed to the sky, countless anti-aircraft gunners have all been in place and are looking at the sky nervously, and the feet of these gunners are full of ammunition, putting on a posture of firing at any time.

In the clear and blue sky, more than 20 kilometers away from the Japanese fleet, dozens of warplanes were flying up and down in the sky, and these fighters were soaring into the sky like sharp swords at one time and plunging into the earth like meteorites. Of course, these fighters are not performing stunts, but fighting to the death, and from time to time fighters fall into the sea in the thick smoke and splash huge waves.

In the command room of the island-style building of the Shozuru aircraft carrier, Nagumo Tadaichi and the officers around him watched the air battle intently with binoculars, but the faces of these people were not very good, because in this air battle, it was obvious that the fighters of the Japanese fleet had lost the upper hand. Just over ten minutes ago, the aircraft carrier fleet released twelve Zero fighters, but now only three or four are in operation, and more than a dozen fighters have been lost in such a short period of time, such a battle loss rate is enough to make Nagumo Zhongyi tremble.

"Commander, the people of China are too arrogant, let's release another batch of planes to drive those planes away, right?" Sanchuan Jun on the side couldn't stand it anymore, put down the binoculars and said indignantly.

"It's too late!" Nanyun Zhongyi said with a calm face: "The people of China will not stay there and wait for us to beat him. ”

Things really happened as Nanyun Zhongyi expected, this air battle ended quickly, and after more than a dozen shrew fighters on the other side sank twelve zeros, they also knew that they had stabbed the hornet's nest, and they immediately slipped away and didn't want to stay for a minute, leaving only the smaller and smaller back.

Looking at the Huaxia fighter that disappeared from sight, a staff officer couldn't hold back any longer, and said loudly to Nan Yunzhong: "Your Excellency Commander, you can't go on like this anymore." Since we came here, the people of China have come to harass us almost every day, they have used the advantage of the performance of the fighters to suppress us, and we have lost more than 50 fighters in the past few days, and in this way, our fighters will be destroyed by them! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander, the loss of fighters is secondary, but those pilots are the elite of the Empire's hard work, and they are so worthless to die here. What a shame! ”

Another staff officer also said distressedly that Japan practices an elite system, and the Japanese Navy, which advocates elites, believes that instead of spending a lot of resources to train a thousand mediocre pilots, it is better to concentrate these resources together to train a hundred elite pilots, which is the same as the Japanese Army's general belief that since a bullet can destroy an enemy, why waste a lot of resources to equip submachine guns, this habit of subconsciously saving resources has long been deeply integrated into the bones of the Japanese himself. Even a hundred years from now, it won't change.

In the face of the persuasion of his subordinates, Nagumo Zhongyi remained silent with a calm face. This time, he put forward the plan to let the fleet come to the Weihaiwei sea area to blockade the defense of the Third Army, and it stands to reason that this plan is good, Weihaiwei only needs to lead the fleet to blockade this sea area, and the supply fleet of the Third Army can only pass through unless it has wings, but now there is an accident in the plan.

The fleet of the Third Army is not coming out, but they dispatch more than a dozen shrew fighters every day to hover over the sky near the fleet every day to provoke, and these Chinese people are also very obscene, if Nagumo Tadaichi's fleet dispatches too many carrier-based aircraft, they immediately turn around and run, and do not engage them, if the carrier-based aircraft go out, they will immediately call more fighters to come to reinforcements.

After some fighting, Zero's losses skyrocketed, and then Nagumo Zhong ignored these provocative shrews in distress and let them circle around the fleet, anyway, shrew fighters, which are aircraft that specialize in fighting for air supremacy, have nothing to do with the thick-skinned warships. Who knew that those Chinese people saw that the Japanese fleet would not meet the battle, and they also changed their tactics and sent out torpedo planes and dive bombers, and now Nagumo Tadaichi could not turn a blind eye. These planes carry hundreds of kilograms of high-explosive bombs and heavy torpedoes under their bellies, and even battleships can't stand it if they really want to break through the defensive circle and put a few torpedoes.

So as a last resort, Nanyun Zhong had to continue to send carrier-based planes to expel those torpedo planes and dive bombers, but as soon as they saw the Zero take off, they immediately smeared oil on the soles of their feet and slipped away, and if Zero wanted to chase them, those shrews were not vegetarians, so they immediately surrounded them, so an air battle began to start again, and you chased me and fled for several days playing a game of cat and mouse, so you lost nearly fifty Zero fighters, and Nanyun Zhong was so distressed that he couldn't do it. To make matters worse, after a few days passed, even those staff officers began to express doubts about Nagumo Tadaichi's plan, which was the biggest blow to Nagumo Tadaichi.

In fact, after the contact in the past few days, Nanyun Zhongyi felt that although he had attached great importance to the Third Army, it was only after the real fight that he felt that this bone was too hard, and he had not eaten his meat until now, and a few teeth were broken.

Seeing that Nanyun Zhongyi was silent, the staff officers around him wanted to continue talking, but this time Mikawa Junichi was angry. I saw him slap the table and shout loudly: "Baga, what do you want to do? Do you want to intimidate Your Excellency the Commander? ”

Seeing that the Sanchuan army was angry, the staff officers stopped their mouths stupidly. Seeing this, Nagumo Tadaichi also sighed secretly, the Battle of Midway had exhausted the prestige he had established in the Battle of Pearl Harbor, and the war in the past few days was so unfavorable, it was normal for these staff officers to be dissatisfied with themselves.

Just when Nanyun Zhong felt a dilemma, a communications staff officer hurriedly ran in and said loudly: "Your Excellency Commander, call from the base camp!" ”

The distraught Nanyun Zhong waved his hand: "Read!" ”

"Hay!"

After answering the voice, the communications staff officer read aloud: "The base camp and the combined fleet have jointly called, since three days ago, China has continuously sent submarines to lurk in the waters around Nagasaki and Shikoku Island to ambush the imperial merchant ships, and in three days, the empire has successively lost a total of 33 merchant ships and one destroyer. Due to the huge losses caused by the submarines of the Empire, and the fact that the American Emperor sent a fleet to approach the mainland of the Empire, it was ordered by His Majesty the Emperor that Nagumo Tadaichi immediately lead the fleet to return to the mainland of the Empire to clear out the submarines of the Empire itself! ”

"Nani?"

"How is this possible?"

"Unrestricted submarine warfare?"

After an exclamation, there was an uproar, and the faces of the staff officers in the command room changed, and they were naturally no strangers to the unrestricted submarine warfare, and the Germans were naturally no strangers to the unrestricted submarine warfare, and the Germans relied on this hand to overwhelm the huge British Empire, and the former empire on which the sun never set was forced to carry out food control, even with the support of the United States, the British people on the British Isles still had a very difficult time, which shows how powerful this kind of unrestricted submarine warfare is.

Although the submarine force of the Chinese is not as powerful as that of the Germans, from another point of view, the Japanese can not compare with the British. After all, they have been an empire that has never set for more than 200 years, with colonies all over the world, and how can it be compared with Japan, a barren island country that has only risen for half a century, compared with Britain, Japan's ability to resist pressure is even weaker, and if the submarine force of the Third Army is really tossed and turned around like this, it will not take a few months for Japan's economy to really collapse.

For a while, dozens of pairs of eyes in the command room looked at Nagumo Tadaichi, the supreme commander of the fleet.

Nanyun Zhongyi closed his eyes, his face was cloudy for a while, and finally said: "Pass my order, and the fleet will set off and return immediately!" ”

"Hay!"

This time, a rare burst of neat voices rang out in the command room......

"What? The Japanese fleet was withdrawn? ”

In a very ordinary-camouflaged headquarters, Su Jin looked at the telegram in his hand with the sunlight shining from the window, looking very surprised.

"Yes sir!" Qiu Lihua, the combat staff officer standing next to Su Jin, said respectfully, "This is information that has been verified by the intelligence department, and the authenticity is not a problem." ”

"I didn't expect Laborde to get out of unrestricted submarine warfare, it's really rare." Su Jin couldn't help but laugh a little, this Laborade is too good at tossing, he thought about it and then ordered: "You immediately send a telegram to Laborade, and ask him to call all the submarines back immediately, from today onwards, without my order, it is not allowed to send submarines to the Sea of Japan to engage in any submarine warfare!" ”

"Why?" Qiu Lihua couldn't believe his ears, and asked in surprise: "Sir, according to the shallow opinion of the department, this submarine should be very interesting." Sending submarines to roam around ambushing the merchant ships of the Japanese is a very good way to be small and big, as long as it is done a few more times, it can hit the economy of Japan hard, why should we stop such a good thing? ”

"You know what!" Su Jin glared at Qiu Lihua and said, "This kind of submarine warfare is not a secret, doesn't he know if he pulls Bode know?" But since the submarine group was formed for so long, why have I never carried out this kind of submarine warfare against Japan, do you know why? ”

"This?" Qiu Lihua was also a little confused, yes, Su Jin worked so hard to establish a submarine brigade, to say that Su Jin didn't know the famous submarine warfare invented by the Germans would be an insult to his IQ.

Seeing Qiu Lihua's greeting, Su Jin waved his hand and said, "Okay, you don't need to know this question now, now you hurry up and send out my order, and immediately transfer the men and horses of the submarine brigade back, understand?" ”

"Yes!" Although he still didn't understand in his heart, Qiu Lihua didn't dare to slack off, and quickly saluted and went out.

Su Jin sat on the chair, took out a cigarette and lit it. There are some things he can't say, even to his own people.

At this time and space, because of his arrival, he has already caused a lot of losses to Japan's capital in advance, and it would not be a good thing to collapse Japan's economy in advance because of his own appearance. No one knew that after World War II, the wealthy Americans would replace the British as the world's policemen and dominate the world for more than half a century, until the Yankees were still the most powerful country on the planet, and China's rise to the United States became an insurmountable threshold. Since the Yankees are destined to have a bloody battle with the Japanese themselves, how could Su Jin help the Yankees consume the national strength of the Japanese in advance, which is not half beneficial to Huaxia, so it is better to forget about unlimited submarine warfare or something.

Just as Su Jin was thinking about things, rumbling artillery rang out outside, and the Japanese army outside began to attack the airport again......

In a Japanese headquarters more than 30 kilometers away from the location of Su Jin, Lieutenant General Higuchi Kiichiro, commander of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, looked at Major General Yoshiyo Akiyama, commander of the 6th Infantry Brigade in front of him, with his sharp eyes, and asked: "Akiyama-kun, several days have passed, and the troops under your command have not even captured the outlying positions of Shina, can you explain the reason to me?" ”

Akiyama Yoshiyo has long lost his former demeanor and spirit, he has not slept well for several days, his eyes are full of bloodshots, his expression is haggard, and his neat official uniform is also covered with dust, I saw him bow down with a calm face and said: "Hai, Your Excellency the Division Commander, this time I am incompetent, please punish His Excellency the Division Commander!" ”

Higuchi Jiichiro snorted coldly: "Hmph, punishment, what's the use of me punishing you?" Will the hundreds of soldiers who died in battle come back to life? ”

For Akiyama Yoshiyo's defeat these days, Higuchi Jiichiro is actually very dissatisfied, just four days ago, Akiyama Yoshiyoshi was ordered to attack Huludao Airport, but he didn't expect the airport to be beaten down but was beaten by a counterattack led by Su Jin and almost lost his life here, and finally escaped and reported the intelligence to Higuchi Jiichiro, after hearing the news, Higuchi Jiichiro hurriedly led the Ninth Division to rush over and surround Su Jin's troops in a radius of dozens of miles with the airport as the core.

But after the battle started again, more than 20,000 people of the Ninth Division couldn't bite Su Jin's more than 10,000 lone troops, which also made Higuchi Jiichiro remember that this morning Akiyama Yoshiyoshi led a wing to attack again for three hours, and found nothing except the loss of hundreds of people, which was called by Higuchi Jiichiro and scolded.
