Chapter 328: Material Embargo

Nagato and Mutsu are symbols of the "Yamato Spirit".

Once it sinks, the consequences will be very, very serious, and I am afraid that the generals and officers who participated in this battle will have to apologize.

At this time, not only did the warships of all sizes make a mess, but they no longer cared about landing or not landing, and they all carried forward the "spirit of daring to run" and desperately retreated to the depths of the East China Sea for fear of being attacked by a new round of attacks.

At the same time, the Japanese aircraft group, which was fighting with the Huaxia Air Force for air supremacy, also received strict orders from the aircraft carriers.

Ordered them to leave the battle immediately, quickly go to the battleship to escort the air, and even did not shy away from giving the order to die, once Nagato and Mutsu were sunk, the commanders of all sizes would certainly have to apologize for their crimes, but before they died, they would definitely bring some of their subordinates to accompany them to the killing field.

The Japanese pilots were immediately furious, so they turned to escort one after another.

Only the Japanese troops on the ground, who were still in full swing, even the planes with the sunrise logo suddenly disappeared, and they didn't care at all, until the fire support on the sea suddenly disappeared, and then they realized that something was wrong, and they looked at each other for a while.

At this time, the navy politely told them that because the imperial fleet was harassed by the Chinese fighters, it was actively expelling the enemy planes, and it was estimated that it would be fine in an hour or two.

It didn't matter if the navy wanted to save face, but it killed the landing force.

Most of these uneducated red deer were miners and farmers, and the gentlemen of the navy had grown up under the influence of the British Royal Navy since childhood, and were accustomed to using nonsense and hypocrisy as elegance, and they themselves had run away en masse, and they were still fooling around and bragging here.

Because only in this way can it not be disgraced, but also let the red deer drag down the air force in Huaxia.

I have to say that compared with army generals such as Matsui Ishone, the average IQ of naval generals is indeed a lot higher, and their predictions of many things are indeed extremely correct.

An hour later, when Liu Yicheng led the bomber group to the sky over Songhu again, the Japanese battleships did not run far, but they were surrounded by large and small warships that were on dense alert, as well as Japanese fighters that continued to circle, and it felt as if they couldn't even insert a needle.

Huaxia's bomber group, if it wants to forcibly attack the Japanese ships, and the strength is somewhat insufficient.

At this time, "just happened" to see the landing force in full swing, well, the field airfield in Pudong was almost repaired.

So how?

Major General Liu hurriedly contacted Nanjing, so that the heavy artillery cluster in Huaxia would focus on clearing the anti-aircraft fire points near the landing site and the temporary assembly area of the Japanese soldiers, while he himself led the bomber group to focus on bombing the Japanese artillery positions and important material distribution centers.

A 1,800-kilogram bomb fell, and after a loud bang, a third of the improvised field airfield disappeared.

The soldiers on the ground on both sides of the war turned pale like dirt.

With the subsequent bombs falling, the entire field airfield, along with the construction personnel, has completely disappeared, leaving only a dozen huge craters, causing all the Japanese troops who landed to be stunned.

Each crater is about seven or eight meters deep, about thirty or forty meters wide, at the bottom of the crater suddenly bubbling with groundwater, will be slightly reddish and black soil, slowly dilute, and the average altitude in Pudong is low, most of them are only three or four meters, it seems that it will not be long before this place will become a small lake.

As soon as the temporary airfield was wiped out, Major General Liu also breathed a sigh of relief, and there was no need to worry about the threat of the Japanese army for the time being.

Then this guy let the remaining more than 20 bombers slowly clear all the high-value targets, so the Japanese troops on the ground lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, as for the supplies and the like, please feel free, I just hope not to bomb themselves.

Liu Yicheng piloted a fighter plane hovering high in the air.

Seeing the Japanese positions exploding and burning one after another, he certainly had a sense of joy of victory, but more than that, it was a deep sadness.

The bomber group he led had more than 100 planes at its most glorious time, but now there are only more than 30 left, and the pilots are all his best students, which are the results of several years of training at the West Sichuan Air Force Academy.

September 11, 1937, is known in the West as the "Far Eastern Flesh Mill Day".

As night approached, the Huaxia Air Force gradually withdrew from the battle, and the ground battle between China and Japan had just begun, and it was not until the early morning of the second day, when Chinese and Japanese fighters began to patrol, that the land forces of both sides quietly hid.

The aerial strangulation battle on the first day was too ferocious.

Whether it is the army of the Japanese devils or the ground forces of China itself, they all have great worries and distrust about the capabilities of their own air forces.

From 11 o'clock on the first day to the early morning of the next day, just 20 hours later, the casualties of the Chinese and Japanese ground forces reached a new height, with the Japanese suffering more than 30,000 casualties and the Chinese nearly 50,000.

In the midst of so many casualties, the air forces of the two countries played a key role.

In the end, it was only by relying on a large number of lives and blood that it was able to withstand the three-dimensional offensive of the Japanese army's land, sea and air.

As a result, the Chinese Army suffered losses again and again in the night battle.

That night, the Japanese army completely occupied Wusongkou.

As for what happened to the Japanese landing force, it was somewhat similar to that of the Chinese Army, because the navy fled from the desert, resulting in them being pressed and beaten by the Chinese Air Force, and they didn't think the Air Force was so powerful before, but yesterday it was a lesson to them, and the 1,800-kilogram bomb was not something that flesh and blood could resist at all.

Moreover, what is even more unfortunate is that 200,000 Japanese troops gathered together, just to maximize the power of the bombshell.

Often, a single bomb can directly wipe out hundreds of people.

On September 12, 1937, when the Shanghai Incident was about to be full, both China and Japan calculated their gains and losses, only to find that each other's losses had already reached a very terrifying figure.

Taking the casualties of soldiers in the Songhu battlefield as an example, the Japanese army killed more than 43,000 people and wounded more than 24,000, while the Chinese army lost more than 65,000 killed and wounded more than 78,000.

And that's just the loss of soldiers, not counting the civilian casualties on both sides.

Look at the posture and go a lot.

Compared with another time and space, with the time and space where ants appeared, the greatest good deed was done, that is, with the "Huaxia United Pharmaceutical Factory", various anti-inflammatory drugs could be mass-produced, resulting in more than 100,000 injured soldiers and civilians in Huaxia not being left without medicine, thus saving countless lives in time.

Thanks to the United Pharmaceutical Factory, anti-inflammatory drugs are often supplied free of charge, and countless injured soldiers and civilians have been treated.

Therefore, Hankou's pharmaceutical industry and its philanthropic industry became a typical example of the Chinese industrial war of resistance.

In the eyes of many ordinary people, Kong Yuling, who is specifically responsible for this matter, has also become the reincarnation of the Medicine King Bodhisattva, and by the way, even her father Kong Caishen has also been stained with some light, after all, she is the daughter of the Kong family, and she can't write two Kong characters in one stroke, and the Kong family has also risen because of this, and has become the pride of the descendants of the Kong family in Shandong.

September 12 is destined to be a day that cannot be fought.

The three-dimensional operation on the first day inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army, losing nearly 300 long-range bombers.

This is the last bit of the Japanese army's army aviation, but it was almost served by the Huaxia Air Force, and even the famous king of bombing, Okuda Kikuji Daisa, was almost ordered to commit suicide by caesarean section, if it weren't for someone covering it, I'm afraid I would have reported to the shrine in the countryside.

Not to mention aircraft carriers.

As an emerging professional warship, it is very important, but the value of the ship is no longer its own value, but that it can carry a number of carrier-based aircraft.

Therefore, once the carrier-based aircraft are completely destroyed, the aircraft carrier is a pile of scrap metal, but when fighting with the Huaxia Air Force, the carrier-based aircraft also suffered heavy losses, and the number has already exceeded 100, which is the total number of a heavy aircraft carrier, in other words, it is equivalent to sinking an aircraft carrier by Huaxia.

As for Nagato and Mutsu, they were even more unjustifiable.

Under the circumstance that the Japanese army gained air supremacy, it was actually succeeded in being attacked by Chinese fighters, which was really a big joke in the world, and the most sad thing for the Japanese Navy was that the battleship "Mutsu" finally sank in the depths of the East China Sea.

Of course, the Imperial Japanese Army has always kept a low profile and will not announce it to the public.

The official version of the Japanese army was - "the ship returned to the Sasebo naval base with the fruits of victory".

Because the Nagato-class battleships are not two but four at all, and the other two are the famous "shadow ships".

At the beginning of 1921, shortly after the completion of the battleship Nagato, the whole country was celebrating the "Yamato Spirit" and actively preparing for the construction of other sister ships, but bad news came from Washington - the Japanese representative was forced to sign the "Naval Arms Reduction Treaty."

As a result of the treaty, the follow-up warships that were being refurbished had to be dismantled or transferred one by one, and it is possible that at that time, the Japanese already hated the Americans, and then the "Pearl Harbor attack" broke out in 1941, which is logical.

At that time, Japan was a real island country and a widow, and it was known for its "careful budgeting".

In the face of the unequal Washington Treaty, they would not be able to give in easily, so the Japanese army publicized that they had dismantled the sister ships of the Nagato-class class, well, or converted them into aircraft carriers in time.

On the other hand, they went their own way, completely ignoring the constraints of international conventions, and built the sister ships of the Nagato battleship, which were typical black goods-non-treaty ships, and how dare they take them out and shake them, so they became shadow ships of Mutsu and other ships.

For twenty years, from 1921 to 1940, Japan did not build a single battleship except for a few aircraft carriers, which in itself is a very ridiculous thing.

The real situation is that not only the Nagato-class battleships have shadow ships, but even the Fuso-class and Ise-class have their own shadow ships, which is also the real reason why the Japanese devils dared to challenge the British and American powers later, because the little devils have already become the world's number one naval power in the dark, and who is it afraid of.

Although the Japanese army had many shadow ships, there were only four Nagato-class ships.

The Nagato-class is different from the sunken "Izumo", they are still the treasure of the Japanese army, but if one is sunk, there is one less, and this battle actually sank one and severely damaged one, which has caused an eight-magnitude earthquake in the Japanese Navy.

Even the time when Yamamoto 56 led the combined fleet was much earlier.

When the "Flesh Mill" war communications reached Europe and the United States on September 11, many peace-loving citizens rushed to the streets.

They unequivocally called for an armistice, "war is the root of all evil," "protest — government support for war in the Far East," "we want the grass of peace, not the seedlings of war," and "take action, don't let the claws of war reach the Americas," and so on.

This time, the European and American governments reacted much faster.

In the early morning of September 12 (sorry, it was still daytime in Europe and the United States at this time), many European and American countries announced that they respected the will of the people and immediately imposed an embargo on strategic materials to the countries of the Far East.

The types of embargos this time are as high as 93 items, especially including special steel, petrochemical oil, rubber, sulfur and other essential materials for war readiness, such as aircraft engines and optical instruments.

However, Huaxia is a little better, anyway, he is used to being poor, and the soldiers can have a rifle.

After receiving the embargo notice from Europe and the United States, Lao Jiang was also mixed.

The various military supplies purchased by Huaxia in Europe and the United States are temporarily lost, but compared with the Japanese devils, they are not bad.

The Japanese army has nearly 1,000 ships, 70 or 80 large warships of more than 10,000 tons, and the daily consumption and necessary fuel oil alone must be calculated in 1,000 tons, and once it is embargoed, it will all become a pile of scrap metal.

At that time, Japan and China were well-known oil-poor countries, and Professor Pan Zhongxiang, who later published the "Theory of Continental Oil", was still a scholar who was not good-looking.

Once the embargo was adopted, the Japanese Navy, which was "the world's first," was instantly beaten back to its original shape, and the weight of the losses was simply beyond words.

Since the July 7 Incident, Jiang Weizuo has been under great psychological pressure, and now that the European and American powers have begun to take action, he is a little uneasy in his heart, but he doesn't know what went wrong.

So regardless of the inconvenience and cold of the night, Lao Jiang took a group of guards and attendants from the small camp in Pukou to the camp at Wuhu Airport.

Well, he was ready to "shamelessly ask" his students.
