Chapter 419: Total Annihilation of the Japanese Navy
readx;?“ What the? Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan were shocked when they heard this, and the latter hurriedly persuaded him: "Commander, you must not, you are the commander-in-chief of my Northeast Frontier Army, the backbone of millions of soldiers, and the soul of the army, and you must not risk yourself." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Wang Yizhe also persuaded: "Yes, Guoping is right, and naval warfare is not as good as land warfare, once there is a mistake, there is no chance to save it!" ”
Zhang Xinghan waved his hand with a firm expression and said, "Don't persuade the two of you anymore, I have made up my mind." ”
After that, Zhang Xinghan instructed Guo Zhong on the side: "Battalion Commander Guo, pass on my order, except for the battleship Yue Fei and twelve cruisers, all the other destroyers, battleships, and cruisers should immediately enter the battle.
, pigs, pigs, islands, the novel admonishes all the naval officers that I will fight side by side with them, advance and retreat together, live and die together! All the soldiers of the army are under themselves, and they all move forward bravely and swear not to retreat! There were only two results in this battle, one was the annihilation of our army, and the other was the defeat of the Japanese invaders, and there was no other third. ”
Infected by the decisiveness in Zhang Xinghan's words, Guo Zhong stood up and saluted with an awe-inspiring expression: "Yes! ”
After Guo Zhong took the order and left, Wang Yizhe also persuaded bitterly: "Xinghan, let's do it, you stay on the Yue Fei to command the overall situation, and I will command on your behalf." ”
"Commander Wang, the military order is like a mountain, how can the order be changed overnight? Execute the order! Zhang Xinghan said awe-inspiringly.
"Yes!" Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan glanced at each other helplessly, and responded in unison.
Soon, Zhang Xinghan's order to personally lead the naval fleet to meet the Japanese fleet spread throughout the entire Northeast Naval Fleet, and all the officers and men were greatly boosted in morale and enthusiastic when they heard the news.
The commander-in-chief went to the front line in person and fought a bloody battle side by side with them, which was enough to make these soldiers who usually feared Zhang Xinghan as the god of war excited and crazy, and their blood boiled in their bodies, and they hated to fight to the death with the Japanese invaders immediately.
The cool sea breeze blew, and Zhang Xinghan, who had already boarded a fort, suddenly felt extremely cold. The long-lost blood in his body boiled again, and the strong fighting spirit revived like a blowout.
It seems to have returned to the days four years ago when he led a lone army to stick to Shenyang, turned the tide, and killed the Japanese with rivers of blood.
The artillerymen who stood on the fort were excited because of Zhang Xinghan's arrival, and their eyes were full of fanatical fighting spirit.
"Boss, you'd better go back to the command room." Guo Zhongdao, the commander of the guard battalion standing aside.
Zhang Xinghan raised his head and looked at the vast sea for a while, listening to the rumbling of cannons and explosions as his ships continued to move forward.
Turning around, he walked down the battery and towards the command room.
Guo Zhong and the two guards followed closely and followed him like a shadow.
After returning to the command room, the operational and communications staff officers had already sorted out and reported on the latest battle situation.
"Total seat. As soon as we got the latest information, two Zero fighters of our air force were accidentally hit and damaged by the enemy's fleet's anti-aircraft fire net during a struggle with Japanese planes, and all the crew members died heroically. A combat staff officer said with a heavy expression.
Since the Zero fighter entered service, there has been no battle damage, at first hearing the news, Zhang Xinghan couldn't help frowning slightly, and after thinking about it, he was relieved, the Zero fighter sacrificed protection for its large range and high-speed performance.
It's not surprising that it will be destroyed in a dogfight.
There was a pause. Zhang Xinghan said: "Immediately send a telegram to Gao Zhihang, and order them to immediately raise the altitude to fight, first solve the devil's plane, and then attack the enemy's fleet!" ”
"Yes." A communications staff officer quickly took the order to leave.
Zhang Xinghan was on the battlefield thirty nautical miles away. Thick smoke was already billowing from the blue sea, and from time to time violent explosions suddenly erupted from the water, bringing huge waves of water.
Quite a few Japanese ships were hit and incapacitated. Thick smoke billowed from above, the flames were raging, and it was faintly visible that there were terrified devil sailors on the deck who were hurrying to make the final rescue.
Before the Japanese Air Force did not arrive. Once the Japanese ship is hit, it will soon be dive and strafing by the Northeast Army fighters from the air, and the devils on the deck will be killed and wounded.
Fortunately, their air force arrived in time, forcing the Northeast Frontier Air Force to abandon its air strikes against them.
As for the underwater dragons that damaged these Japanese ships, they were hit hard by another blow, and after losing their combat effectiveness, they immediately fled away to find new targets.
This gave a large number of damaged and incapacitated Japanese ships a precious respite.
Even if a Japanese ship is seriously damaged and cannot be saved, most of the devil sailors on the ship will have time to transfer to other ships.
On the battlefield in the distance, the wolf pack tactics and the battle to drive the wolves continued, and because it was not equipped with underwater sonar radar detection equipment, the Japanese ships could not detect the XXI submarine of the Northeast Frontier Guards that had dived underwater.
Therefore, in order to prevent the XXI submarine from tirelessly attacking their own fleet, dozens of Japanese destroyers were lining up on the periphery of the fleet to defend, and one after another depth charges were constantly thrown into the sea water like dumplings, and a series of violent explosions occurred one after another, bringing out a water column more than ten meters high.
The anti-aircraft weapons on the Japanese cruisers, battleships, and the only four remaining aircraft carriers were firing at full strength to deal with the air force threat of the Northeast Frontier Army.
Hundreds of anti-aircraft weapons of large and small calibers fired in a salvo, and the rain of anti-aircraft bombs fired was like a column of light shooting from the sky, which was very spectacular.
The deafening rumbling sound of artillery could be heard clearly for dozens of miles.
Behind the destroyers, there were hundreds of Japanese submarines of various types, large and small.
Unlike the XXI submarines of the Northeast Border Guards, the submarines of the Japanese army at this time were not yet submarines that were shot purely for underwater operations.
Rather, it is a backward submarine that uses submarines to approach the target and then float to attack.
Because they did not have the capability of underwater warfare, the Japanese submarines decisively retreated after losing more than 20 units in the initial engagement, and formed an anti-submarine defense circle with their own destroyers to deal with the Jiaolong Task Force of the Northeast Navy.
He retreated to the rear of the destroyer to form a second line of defense, but both the Japanese submarine force and the destroyer commander knew that such a response could only solve the immediate need, and it was by no means a long-term solution.
Because the anti-submarine bombs carried by the destroyer group will eventually run out, and the anti-submarine means at this time are almost exhausted, what will be used to block the attack of the cunning wolf pack submarines at that time?
This is also the helplessness of the Japanese army, everyone knows the result, but there is nothing to be done, the huge difference in the performance of the equipment between the two sides cannot be made up in any way.
Not only did they have a panoramic view of the exploding sea, but the devil soldiers had no idea what their results were, and it was possible that a Chinese submarine had been sunk, but it was also very likely that they had already fled far away to avoid the deadly depth charges.
In fact, the submarines of the Northeast Frontier Force did react quickly and withdrew from the water to safe waters when the Japanese formed a defense, mainly destroyers.
The depth charges of the Japanese did not inflict any losses on them at all.
At the same time, a large-scale aerial decisive battle of unprecedented scale was also underway at an altitude of several thousand meters not far from the battlefield.
In order to win this decisive naval and air battle, the Japanese army dispatched more than 500 land-based and sea-based air forces, which was almost all the air force that Japan could mobilize after the battle between Manchuria and Korea, except for the defense of Tokyo and other important areas.
As for the northeastern frontier troops, except for the four northeastern provinces of Gongwei, the five northwestern provinces and Pingjin, the main ones are Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces, and the border areas of the Korean Peninsula with the Soviet Union.
and used for air raids on Kyushu Island and Honshu Island, blockading Japanese reinforcements to support Kyushu Island, and supporting the first landing force in the battle of Kitakyushu Island and Kanmon Strait.
It also dispatched 300 Zero fighters, 150 BF109 fighters (most of the BF109s were deployed in the Sino-Soviet border area to deter the Soviet army from responding to sudden military struggles due to their shorter range than the Zero) and 100 B-17 Flying Fortress bombers.
In terms of the number of planes, the two sides were almost comparable, and most of the planes dispatched by the Japanese army were fighters, which was much more than that of the Northeast Frontier Army.
But in terms of the performance of the fighters on both sides, it is one in the sky and one on the earth.
Whether it is the BF109 with strong firepower and high speed, or the Zero fighter with a small turning radius and fast speed and large range, it is not comparable to the fighters equipped with the sea and land-based aviation units in active service of the Japanese army.
At present, the most advanced fighter of the Japanese army is the Type 94, but this is a new type of fighter that was officially put into service only last year, and the total number of this fighter is only 300 by now, and this kind of fighter is seven years older than the Zero fighter.
Since the Japanese lost Manchuria and the Korean Peninsula and suffered heavy losses, Japan has been in a state of recuperation and recuperation in an attempt to restore its national strength and combat strength as soon as possible.
When the island of Kyushu was suddenly attacked, the whole country of Japan was in an uproar, and the time to start waging the war machine was too short, and it was less than ten days before and after.
However, Japan's war potential is still not small at present, and once the war machine is fully operational, the production of various weapons and equipment will increase geometrically.
After all, the industrial foundation is there, but by that time, the war on Kyushu Island should have ended, and as long as the Northeast Frontier Army wins this battle and kills the main forces of the Japanese Navy and Air Force.
With Kyushu Island as the forward base of the Air Force, it will be possible to carry out uninterrupted bombing and air raids on the entire territory of Japan in order to undermine and deplete Japan's war potential.
After Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Army recuperated for three or five years, he gathered a million-strong army to set foot on Honshu Island, and captured Emperor Hirohito, an old devil, alive.
