Northeast, Jilin City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Xinghan had just finished celebrating the Lunar New Year with his family, and this meeting, accompanied by Du Ting and others, was inspecting the Jilin city defense troops and nearby garrison troops.

Zhou Gong sent news from Germany that Hitler had agreed to his proposal and was actively preparing for an eastward invasion.

After Zhang Xinghan learned the news, he quickly returned to Jilin and flew to Nanjing by plane.

Because Xue Yue and Wang Yizhe have already received news from the Japanese archipelago and the Taiwan archipelago one after another, the US military is marching into the above-mentioned areas in a big way.

The Pig > Pig Island" novel war is already on the horizon.

After several hours of flying at full speed, the plane finally landed smoothly at the Daxiaochang military airfield in Nanjing.

Yan Xishan, Jiang Baili and other dignitaries personally greeted them at the airport.

After returning to the Military Commission, Jiang Baili said to Zhang Xinghan: "Commission, I believe you should already know that the Third Fleet of the US Navy has been reorganized and is advancing towards Japanese waters.

In addition, its First Fleet has also passed through the Strait of Malacca and is approaching Taiwan in the waters of the South China Sea. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Xinghan nodded: "I know all this, fortunately, Zhou Gong has already sent news that the German army has agreed to participate in the war, and they will declare war on the Soviet army within a month at the latest."

To the northwest and northeast we will no longer have to worry about it. ”

Jiang Baili was still a little worried: "Even if the German army enters the war with the Soviets, the millions of Soviet troops in the Far East may still launch an attack on our northeast and northwest frontiers to threaten the rear of our country's northwest and northeast."

Even, the Soviets may invade the Goryeo Peninsula and cut off ties with our Liaodong Peninsula. ”

Zhang Xinghan smiled and waved his hand and said, "Brother Baili, you don't have to worry about this, you underestimate the combat effectiveness of the German army too much."

I'm willing to bet that without outside intervention, the Soviets would have lost millions of troops and more than a third of their country in a month.

Even. The capital will be surrounded by German troops, and the troops will be under the city! ”

"Millions of troops lost in a month? Loss of a third of the territory? Jiang Baili looked surprised, and said with a look of disbelief: "Could the Soviet army be so vulnerable?"

At the time of the September 18 Incident, the Japanese army did not do this step in the face of our army, which was equipped with backward equipment and many factions. What's more, the Soviets were completely unified within the country. ”

"The Japanese army and the German army are not at the same level at all, and they cannot be compared, both in terms of national strength and army combat effectiveness.

Lao Maozi, in addition to a wide area and a larger population, the combat effectiveness is far from the German army. Zhang Xinghan said.

"Forget it. Leave this alone, let's wait and see what happens, and the top priority is that we should first fight the first battle between us and the Americans, and the outcome of the first battle is extremely important. Zhang Xinghan changed the subject.

"Based on the current speed of the two major fleets of the US military, I estimate that the Americans want to launch an attack on our troops in the Japanese archipelago and our Taiwan archipelago at the same time." Jiang Baili also changed his train of thought and analyzed.

"Telegraphed to Xue Yue, Wang Yizhe, and Huang Xiansheng that they must fight the first battle with the Yankees, and encourage the morale of the officers and men of our three armies and the people of the whole country and their firm belief in victory." Zhang Xinghan said.

Jiang Baili nodded, and Zhang Xinghan added to Guo Zhong: "Send another telegram to Duke Zhou." Ask him to stay in Germany for the time being, so as to facilitate direct communication and cooperation between the two countries during the war. The main thing is security.

Once the Soviet-German war started, there would be war in the Pacific, and I really didn't worry about letting him risk coming back. ”

"Yes." Guo Zhong hurriedly stepped forward and responded. Turn around and take the order to leave.

Hawaii, U.S. Army Pacific Fleet Commander-in-Chief.

Nimitz, the old fellow, with a cigar in his mouth, was listening to the adjutants of staff report on the progress of the two fleets.

"General, the Third Fleet will arrive in the waters of Hokkaido, Japan, in two days.

The First Fleet will arrive in the South China Sea in forty hours. Both fleets would attack the Chinese defenders at the same time and at the same time.

In addition, the submarine forces of the two major naval fleets have already departed in advance. Prepare to hunt China's wolf pack submarine forces. ”

Nimitz spat out a puff of smoke, held a cigar in his hand, looked at the map in front of him and said: "Damn Chinese, this time they must give them a good taste of the power of our naval artillery and aviation firepower."

The blood of tens of thousands of officers and men of the Pacific Fleet will not be shed in vain! ”

…………

In a sea area about 150 nautical miles north of Japan.

Two XXI submarines belonging to the submarine force directly under the Chinese Navy are engaged in a desperate struggle with four US submarines of unknown type.

The US submarine came prepared, and the two XXI submarines inadvertently encountered each other, and the degree of coincidence was no less than one in ten thousand.

However, the submarines equipped by the US military at this time were not much more advanced than the Japanese submarines, and even inferior to some extent.

Thus, after more than half an hour of chasing and engagement, two of the four US submarines have already been destroyed.

The other two were so frightened that they turned around and fled, how could the two XXI submarines be willing to let go, and immediately pursued the US submarines at full speed in turn.

Finally, after chasing more than a dozen nautical miles, they were all successfully sunk.

This small-scale underwater encounter ended with a complete victory for the Chinese submarine forces.

The impact of this is that it has directly forced the commander of the US submarine force to stop his so-called operational plan of resolutely hunting down the Chinese submarine force and clearing the strait obstacles for his own fleet before departure.

After learning that the four submarines had been destroyed by two Chinese submarines, Nimitz was furious and ordered the Third Fleet to send a surface destroyer anti-submarine fleet to form a joint anti-submarine force with an underwater submarine force.

Continue to advance to the waters near Japan to search for Chinese submarine forces.

At the same time, more than 100 US carrier-based planes on several aircraft carriers of the Navy's Third Fleet took off one after another, preparing to launch the first round of retaliatory strikes against the Chinese defenders on the Japanese mainland.

At the same time, the submarine force has learned that the US military has entered the effective strike range of its own fighters.

Wang Yizhe, commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force stationed in Tokyo, and Huang Xiansheng, deputy commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force stationed in Tokyo, also sent hundreds of Zero fighters to cover 50 Stuka dive bombers to attack the US Navy's Third Fleet, preparing to give them a head-on attack.

At the same time, the garrison of troops in various parts of Japan was ordered, vigilance was raised, and the defense was strengthened.

A number of extremely fast Zero fighters were also dispatched to take to the skies one after another to patrol and fly in the airspace near Tokyo Bay and other important port cities, and to form a joint early warning system with early warning ships on the sea to guard against air raids by the US military.

The air defense units of the various divisions of the ground forces have long been assigned to various important areas, forming a powerful and dense network of air defense firepower. (To be continued......)
