At the same time, in front of the entire Northeast Naval Fleet, the submarines of the Jiaolong Task Force left two to continue to monitor the three Japanese ships not far away. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The rest of the main forces bypassed the three Japanese ships and sneaked behind them.

These ships are the devil's alert patrol ships, the main fleet is already not far from the rear, and the purpose of the Jiaolong task force is very clear, that is, to quietly approach the main fleet of the Japanese army and launch a surprise attack.

Inflict heavy damage on them and clear the way for the main fleet.

Under the clear blue waters, dozens of XXI submarines sneaked quickly, like a swarm of submarine dragons.

The three Japanese ships were unaware of this, and were constantly pushing forward, apparently also searching for a possible Northeast Navy.

In an XXI submarine, the lookout who was monitoring the Japanese ship turned around and walked to the captain's side and reported: "Sir, the devil is still advancing in the direction of our main fleet, do you want to attack it?" ”

Hearing this, the young captain pondered for a moment and said: "No, before the main force of our Jiaolong Task Force has not found the combined main fleet of devils, we must not open fire, otherwise the Japanese Navy will get the news in advance, and the difficulty of our main force attack will increase." ”

"Then do you just let the devil patrol post search unscrupulously?" The lookout was a little unwilling.

The young captain said, "Now it's up to us to see if we find each other first, or if the other party discovers us first."

Of course, if our army has not been able to find the main force of our fleet before the Japanese are about to discover our main fleet, then we will launch an attack in advance, and we will not let the devils know the whereabouts of our main fleet no matter what! ”

…………………………

On the battleship Nagato, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, Shumi Nagano, accompanied by the commander of the First Fleet, Yamamoto Isoroku and others, stood solemnly on the wide deck of the Nagato, looking at the endless blue sea and blue sky.

Although Yamamoto Isoroku's First Fleet had been lost in the previous battle, the Japanese quickly rallied the Second and Third Fleets.

Moreover, with the support of the Minister of the Navy and Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet, Nagano Shusui, Yamamoto Isoroku was not removed from his military position, but instead boarded the Nagato, the flagship of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, the world's strongest warship, known as the patron saint of Japan. Assist Nagano Shusei in commanding this battle that is related to the fate of the Imperial Japanese Army and the entire Yamato nation.

A Japanese communications staff officer walked out of the ship's cabin, came behind Nagano Shushen and Yamamoto Fifty-six and others, and suddenly folded his feet and saluted: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, the patrol ship Mengchun is calling." ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six and Nagano Shushen turned their heads when they heard this, and the latter waved his hand with invisible coercion in his tone: "Read." ”

"Mengchundian, so far no trace of the naval fleet of the China Army has been found, and everything is safe in the 50-nautical-mile sea area around our army." The Japanese communications staff officer quickly read.

Hearing this, Nagano Xiushen waved his hand to signal the communications staff officer to leave, and asked instead, "Yamamoto-kun, what do you think about this?" Will the Navy of the Northeast Frontier Army of China appear? ”

Fifty-six Yamamoto, who was short in stature like a dwarf, gritted his teeth and said coldly with monstrous hatred on his face: "General, I think that the people of China will definitely appear. Because they had to transport the second landing force ashore before the first landing force was wiped out by the Imperial Army. It's just that the people of China are extremely cunning, and it is likely that they are deliberately concealing their whereabouts in order to evade our navy's reconnaissance ships. ”

"Hmm." Nagano Xiu nodded his head undeniably and said, "Then Yamamoto-kun, what do you think we should do next?" ”

"General." Yamamoto Fifty-six bowed his head slightly and said: "I suggest that we send our submarine force and aviation to immediately conduct a close search within one hundred and fifty nautical miles around our combined fleet, and at the same time, we should strictly order all destroyer detachments to be vigilant and beware of the repeated tricks of the submarine forces of the Chinese people!" ”

"Yo Xi, just do what Yamamoto-kun said." Nagano nodded and said.

With that, Nagano turned around and returned to the cabin. Yamamoto Fifty-six and other high-ranking generals followed closely.

Ten minutes later, more than a dozen reconnaissance planes flew out of the few remaining aircraft carriers of the Japanese army.

After nearly an hour of flying, the Japanese reconnaissance plane finally spotted the Northeast Navy Fleet that was sailing through the wind and waves.

The anti-aircraft gunboats on the periphery and the anti-aircraft fire on the destroyers immediately opened fire one after another, and several Japanese reconnaissance planes quickly pulled up and turned around. Hurriedly returned and fled.

"Headquarters, the Japanese reconnaissance plane has discovered our whereabouts." Inside the battleship Huo Quai, Zhao Zhenfan hurriedly walked in and reported to Zhang Xinghan.

"Oh? Where are they now? "The operation of the Jiaolong Task Force is a battle plan that has been formulated a long time ago," Zhang Xinghan asked.

"The main Japanese fleet has not yet been found." Zhao Zhenfan replied.

"The Japanese searched for our location. We can't wait to fight us. Give Wang Yunhai and them a telegram, immediately retreat, and at the same time send a reconnaissance submarine. As soon as the main Japanese fleet appeared, it immediately launched an attack on it. Zhang Xinghan groaned slightly and ordered: "In addition, inform the air force to take off immediately and prepare to participate in the battle, and all the naval officers and men must also be ready for battle at any time and fight to the death with the Japanese!" ”

……………………

At the same time that the Navy was about to go to war with the Japanese Combined Fleet.

The tank troops led by Xing Zhanqing also began their battle of encirclement and reinforcement on the Guodong Peninsula.

When a tank regiment (in fact, there was only one battalion) of the Northeast Frontier appeared outside the city of Kunisaki Peninsula, the Japanese troops inside the city panicked and immediately sent a telegram asking for help to friendly troops in various parts of the city.

The Japanese troops in Nakatsu, Oita and other places did not dare to slack off, and took risks to lead their troops out of the city and rushed to the Kunisto Peninsula along the highway for reinforcements.

Among them, the two squadrons of Kizuki and Takada Erdi, which were closest to Kunishimi, were the first to set off non-stop.

When the two Japanese squadrons reached the halfway road to the eastern part of the country, they were suddenly ambushed by four tank battalions of the Northeast Frontier Army.

Under the gap in absolute strength, hundreds of devils didn't even have a chance to fight back, and they were crushed into a bloody pestle powder by the torrent of rolling iron armor

The two Japanese troops were only squadrons and did not carry radios on the march, so they failed to send a warning signal for help in time after being in distress.

Therefore, the follow-up Oita, Nakatsu, Usa and other places have no idea about this.

So just two hours later, the Japanese reinforcements from all over the above places rushed headlong into the pocket ambush circle that Xing Zhanqing had prepared for them.

Xing Zhanqing's chosen ambush location was a plain and wooded area that was conducive to the galloping of his tanks and armored vehicles, and he hid all the tanks and armored vehicles in the woods on both sides of the road in advance.

After the Japanese reinforcements arrived, hundreds of vehicle-mounted machine guns opened fire one after another, and the dense raindrops of bullets crisscrossed into a network of death fire.

The devils who were caught off guard were shot and fell to the ground, and the two side three-wheeled motorcycles that hit the head were hit by the powerful machine gun bullet rain and exploded on the spot.

The four devil soldiers who had been beaten into a bloody sieve were directly blown out, and the stumps and severed arms brought a bloody rain.

There was no suspense in such a battle, and in less than two hours, more than 1,000 devil reinforcements were wiped out.

On a No. 4 tank car on the battlefield, Xing Zhanqing jumped out of the car with a steel helmet.

Several subordinates rushed over and said, "Tuanzao, this battle is too enjoyable!" Ha ha! ”

A hint of pride flashed on Xing Zhanqing's face, and then he returned to normal and said: "Order the troops, clean up the battlefield, bring all the food and gasoline, and then continue to go south!" ”

A battalion commander was surprised: "Tuanzuo, we have won several battles in a row, killed more than 2,000 small devils, don't you send a telegram to the division seat or the general seat to report the victory?" ”

Xing Zhanqing shook his head slightly and said: "No need, the purpose of our attack this time is to eliminate the Japanese army in the Kyushu Island area as much as possible, so as to reduce the pressure faced by our army in the next defensive battle of the Guanmen Strait, it doesn't matter if we report victory or not." ”

"Yes, I understand." Several battalion and company commanders stepped forward one after another, and then each of them was ordered to leave.

…………………………

On the sea, as Zhang Xinghan expected, after learning the location of the Northeast Navy, Nagano Shushen and Yamamoto Fifty-six really led the combined naval fleet to rush to prepare for a decisive battle with the Northeast Navy.

After more than 10 hours of wandering and lurking, the submarine forces of the Northeast Navy finally discovered the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet.

More than 60 XXI submarines suddenly launched an attack on the Japanese combined fleet like wolves.

At the same time, hundreds of fighters of the land-based air force of the Northeast Frontier Army were also ordered to arrive in time.

Cooperate with the Jiaolong Task Force to launch a joint attack on the Japanese fleet from the air.

Huo Quai's battleship was inside, and the battle report was fed back to Zhang Xinghan like a tide.

"The commander-in-chief, Jiaolong and Feiying have cooperated tacitly, and have sunk six Japanese ships and thirteen aircraft, and the fierce battle is still continuing."

"In general, more than 300 planes of the Japanese army's land-based and sea-based aviation have arrived one after another, and our air force is fighting fiercely with them."

"The Japanese submarine forces joined the battle, and the Jiaolong task force was forced to suspend the attack on its Combined Fleet battleships, and was strangling the enemy submarines with all its might."

Zhao Zhenfan, Wang Yizhe and others stood solemnly around Zhang Xinghan, and after listening to the report of the communication staff officer, there was a heavy touch in their eyes.

Zhang Xinghan was silent for a moment, and suddenly got up and said to the two: "Father-in-law, Brother Guoping, the two of you immediately go to the Yue Fei ship, from now on, the Yue Fei will be changed to the flagship of our Navy's combined fleet, responsible for commanding the overall battle." ”

When the two of them heard this, Wang Yizhe hurriedly asked, "Xinghan, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhang Xinghan said in a deep voice: "The Japanese Combined Fleet is dispatching with all its might, this battle is extremely important, and it is related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of officers and men of the Third Army, I have decided to lead the naval fleet to immediately participate in the battle and fight to the death with the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet!"
