Chapter 396: Submarine Force Sortie
Zhang Xinghan came to the arch of the backyard, and Guo Zhong and Shen Xingye, who were waiting here, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The main seat." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Zhang Xinghan waved his hand casually and asked, "Yizhi, what's wrong?" Something? ”
Shen Xingye nodded and said, "Boss, the Shanghai Station of my Secret Bureau has just obtained the latest information, and the Japanese are likely to carry out a retaliatory air raid on the national capital Nanjing in the near future to avenge the attack on Tokyo." ”
"Oh?" Zhang Xinghan frowned when he heard this, and said, "Have you figured out the specific date?" ”
"It's not clear, but I've ordered the heads of the stations of the Jiangnan Branch to step up their investigations, and I should soon get the exact news-pig-pig-island-novel{zhu}{zhu}{dao}.
Because the Japanese were preparing for a secret evacuation of their expatriates and businessmen in Nanjing. Shen Xingye replied.
Zhang Xinghan nodded and said to the two: "You wait for me outside, and we will go to the headquarters immediately, inform the chief of staff, and discuss countermeasures." ”
"Yes." Guo Zhong and Shen Xingye stepped forward at the same time, and immediately turned around and left.
Zhang Xinghan turned around and walked into the backyard to say goodbye to his family.
……………………
Fifteen minutes later, the General Headquarters of the Northeast Frontier Army.
Chief of Staff Jiang Baili, Commander of the Fourth Army Zhao Zhenfan, Deputy Commander Gao Chu and others have all arrived.
Zhao Zhenfan's group army headquarters was located in Dalian, while Gao Chu's deputy headquarters was located in Harbin, and Zhao Zhenfan was nominally the commander-in-chief, but in fact the two were basically one in charge of South Manchuria and the other was in charge of North Manchuria.
Compared with the current situation, the defense of North Manchu at the beginning of the high school was even more important than the South Manchurian of Zhao Zhenfan.
After all, it is unlikely that the Japanese will make a comeback in a short time, and the Soviets will most likely strike again.
This time, they came to Jilin City to report to Zhang Xinghan, just in time for this meeting.
After everyone sat down, Zhang Xinghan asked Shen Xingye to explain the situation, then looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think about this, let's hear it." ”
"Total seat. I think we should stop this Japanese action, regardless of our relationship with Chiang Gong, nominally we are all members of the National Revolutionary Army, and Nanking is indeed our capital for the time being.
Our air raid on Tokyo was a lesson to the Japanese, a great encouragement and invigoration of the Chinese people, and a boost to the cohesion of our country.
But if the Japanese air attack on Nanjing is successful, then the results of our air attack on Tokyo will immediately disappear, and it will be counterproductive.
At the same time, this is the purpose of the Japanese. The air raid on Nanjing could not only undermine the confidence of our people in the army, but also boost and restore the reputation and confidence of the Japanese army among their people.
It shows that the Japanese army also has the ability to attack our Chinese capital by air.
We can't let them achieve such a goal under any circumstances. Jiang Baili took the lead in stating his opinion.
"Well, what the chief of staff said makes sense, and I agree with him." Zhao Zhenfan nodded in agreement.
"I didn't say it, the little devils want to bomb Nanjing, so we have to organize them, and we don't care about anything. As long as the little devil wants to do it, we can't do what he wants, and that's right.
Moreover, what the senza said is indeed very true. Hey! Gao Chu scratched his head and said with a grin.
Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while and said, "Since you all think so, then let's start preparing immediately, the chief of staff's analysis is indeed reasonable." ”
There was a pause. Zhang Xinghan said to Jiang Baili: "Chief of Staff, if you want to guard against the Japanese air raid on Nanjing, the best way is for our air force to be stationed in Nanjing, and even in Shanghai and Yangzhou.
But as it stands. This approach is not going to work.
So we have to find a way out of other ways. ”
Jiang Baili nodded and said: "What the general seat said is right, I think the most important thing at the moment is to find a way to inform the military commander of the news that the Japanese are going to attack Nanjing, or directly tell Chairman Jiang."
At the same time, I think we can send Zero fighters to take off from Dalian Air Base and patrol the coastal airspace from Tianjin to Shanghai, and once we find the Japanese fleet, we will report immediately, and we are sending the main force of the air force to intercept it, which should be able to prevent the Japanese from attacking Nanjing. ”
"Chief of Staff, your proposal is good, it is necessary to inform Chairman Chiang, in any case, he is now the leader of the Nationalist Government, and he cannot be allowed to die under the air raids of the Japanese.
Although it may be that the military commanders have already learned the news, it is still necessary for us to inform them. Saying that, Zhang Xinghan turned his head to Shen Xingye and said, "Yizhi, you arrange this matter, be careful, you can't expose our people." ”
"Yes, I understand." Shen Xingye nodded in response and turned to leave.
"As for sending planes to patrol and block thousands of kilometers of coastline, although we can do it, we can do it during the day, but what about at night?" Zhang Xinghan asked rhetorically: "Have you thought about it?" The Japanese fleet could have taken advantage of the darkness to approach the southeast coast and then take off fighter planes to carry out air raids and bombings on Nanjing.
As a matter of fact, even if they take off in any sea area during the day, it will be difficult for us to completely blockade it, because Nanjing is only a few hundred kilometers away from the sea, and the Japanese naval fleet only needs to come within 200 kilometers of our southeast coast to take off in any direction. ”
Zhang Xinghan's words were very right, Jiang Baili, Zhao Zhenfan and others frowned and fell into deep thought.
Gao Chu rubbed his head and said depressedly, "Then what should we do?" Isn't there a way to stop this little Japan? ”
"Of course not, if you want to really intercept the Japanese, the best way is naturally to dispatch a naval fleet to directly blockade the waters of the East China Sea." Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully.
"Navy?" Jiang Baili, Zhao Zhenfan and the others were shocked when they heard this, looked at each other, and asked in surprise: "General Seat, do you mean that you plan to send the navy out?" This is our secret army, and the most important thing is that they have only been in the army for less than a year, and they are still in the training stage, so no one can say how much combat strength they can have.
And the number of our warships is also significantly less than that of the Japanese army, the navy of the Japanese has been established for hundreds of years, and the combined fleet of the Navy in active service is all well-trained and experienced in real combat, and our navy may not be their opponent now. ”
"Of course I do." Zhang Xinghan said: "In terms of strength on the water, whether it is the number of ships, tonnage, or the quality of personnel, we are still far behind the Japanese.
However, naval warfare, like land battles, has both conventional and unconventional battles, and when the overall strength is inferior to that of the enemy, the only way to deal with the enemy is to take them by surprise and surprise troops. ”
"The meaning of the general seat is to point out our submarine forces?" Jiang Baili suddenly realized.
Zhang Xinghan smiled and nodded: "That's it, first of all, the Japanese don't know about the existence of our naval submarine force, and secondly, our submarine is relatively advanced, and it is an advanced submarine specially developed for underwater warfare, which is more difficult to be discovered by the enemy than the current ordinary submarine."
As long as we send submarine forces, we can take the Japanese by surprise and inflict heavy losses. ”
"However, the submarine force has only been in the army for half a year, and the training is insufficient, can it succeed?" Zhao Zhenfan said with a worried face.
"The best training is actual combat, and without the baptism of actual combat, it is impossible for any branch of the army or any unit to truly grow, let alone become a real elite." Zhang Xinghan said: "We are in the dark, the Japanese are in the light, we only need to cruise and patrol along our coastal waters, as long as the Japanese dare to come, we can wait for work and ambush them by surprise."
Moreover, the advanced performance of our submarines can make up for the shortcomings of the officers and men of our submarine force to a certain extent due to their lack of experience.
Therefore, in this battle, we can send submarine troops to participate in the war, and only by combining the navy and air force can we truly and effectively implement the blockade and guard against sabotage the Japanese air raid on Nanjing. ”
"Well, what the general seat said makes sense."
"Since you don't have any opinions, it's decided." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and made a decision.
The crowd rose to take their leave, and the order was swiftly delivered.
……………………
Nanjing City, the leader's official residence.
In Chairman Chiang's study, Dai Li, the boss of the military command, was walking on thin ice to report to Chairman Chiang the urgent information that his subordinates had just received.
After listening to Dai Li's report, Chairman Jiang was furious and scolded angrily: "Niang Xipi, Niang Xipi, it's all this Zhang Xinghan, he decided to send planes to bomb Tokyo, the capital of the Japanese, without authorization, and now he has attracted the retaliation of the Japanese, and he cannot escape the blame!" ”
After a pause, Chairman Jiang said extremely angrily: "This Dongying people are not a thing, Zhang Xinghan bombed them in Tokyo, why didn't they dare to bomb Jilin, Changchun, and in turn want to bomb me Nanjing?!" ”
Dai Li's heart was bitter, the Japanese were picking up soft persimmons and pinching them, but he naturally didn't dare to say this, but just followed Chairman Jiang's words and said: "Commission, Nanjing is our national capital, and it is reasonable for the Japanese to take Nanjing as a target of revenge in order to wash away the shame of the bombing of Tokyo." ”
"Niang Xipi, order the garrisons in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang and other places to pay close attention to air defense, just in case!" Chairman Jiang said angrily with some helplessness.
"Commission, in addition to these, I suggest that for the sake of your safety, you should also take refuge in the Yuhuatai air defense base for the next two days." Dai Li said cautiously.
Chairman Jiang wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, he still sighed, nodded and said, "Shihe, you go and make arrangements, I will go to Yuhuatai to work in the next few days." ”
"Yes, take a seat." Wang Shihe, who was waiting on the side, immediately nodded in response.
After Wang Shihe left, Chairman Jiang stared at Dai Li with a knife in his eyes and asked, "Yunong, how did you do with what you were told last time?" When will Zhang Xinghan be eliminated? ”
Now Chairman Chiang can't get rid of Zhang Xinghan's hatred, and it's not just Zhang Xinghan who has already stolen the limelight from him as a leader.
Rather, Chairman Chiang knew that as long as Zhang Xinghan died, the powerful Northeast Frontier Army would surely collapse, and he would be able to take it over immediately, and as long as he mastered this army with advanced weapons and excellent combat power, then there would be no one in the whole of China who would be his opponent.
