Chapter 141 Forcing Back the Japanese Combined Fleet

The news of the attack on the Fengxiang aircraft carrier battle group was immediately reported to the Japanese base camp, and the naval headquarters and the Japanese military headquarters were shaken. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Wei Qidong, Wei Qidong, it's Wei Qidong......" Suddenly, many people decided so.

Although there is no direct evidence to prove that it was Wei Qidong's subordinates, from the analysis of various indications, there is a more than 90 percent probability that the Japanese army believed that Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi did it.

The first point is that the attackers have attacked many times with six torpedoes in a wave, and the last time they were attacked, the Japanese thought that it was the result of the simultaneous action of six submarines, so they did not think about it. But now that I think about it, since Wei Qidong has advanced land weapons, and maybe there are also advanced underwater weapons, it is not impossible for a submarine to attack multiple targets at once.

The second point is that at this time, the only country willing to directly confront the Japanese Empire should be China, and although the United States and Japan also have some conflicts of interest, they will not directly attack and start a war. If you take 10,000 steps back, even if it is the hand of the US military, since it has already acted last time, there is no need to stop, and under normal circumstances, it will take advantage of the situation in one go. But no, this is not common sense.

The third point is that according to the time, Wei Qidong should have left Japan and returned to China, and as soon as he returned to China, the Fengxiang aircraft carrier battle group was attacked, which is too coincidental. Moreover, after the attack, he also sent out threatening telegrams, all kinds of actions, which were too similar to Wei Qidong's style.

It is through the analysis of the above circumstances that the Japanese basically believe that the attackers are Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi.

"In that case, after attacking our two aircraft carrier battle groups last time, it should be Wei Qidong who sank the US ship again." The commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Nagano Xiu, said with a very ugly face.

This Wei Qidong is really so hateful, after attacking their combined fleet, he actually killed a US ship, the purpose is obviously to create contradictions and make the United States and Japan fight. Fortunately, the United States and Japan did not have a major conflict because of that incident, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

"So are we going to tell the U.S. about that? Let the Americans find the Chinese to settle accounts, if the Americans put pressure on the national government, they will not be very happy, after all, the national government still has a lot of things to rely on the Americans. Someone suggested.

"Hmph, even if you tell the Americans, do the Americans believe it? Even if it is believed, without direct evidence, the Americans will really sanction China? Our aggression against China has harmed the interests of the Americans, and they still need the Chinese to contain us for them. My guess is that the biggest possibility that we will inform the Americans of this matter is that the Americans will laugh it off and suspect that Japan has framed us. Nagumo Tadaichi said.

"The ugliness of the family must not be publicized, our powerful combined fleet has actually suffered losses in front of backward China several times, and if it is still brought to the Americans to say it, won't they laugh off their big teeth?" Inoue Narumi said with an ugly face, obviously the taste of breaking his teeth and swallowing it in his stomach made him very uncomfortable.

"Right now, our main goal is how to destroy the enemy. Our Great Japanese Combined Fleet is very powerful, but in this short period of time, three aircraft carrier battle groups have been almost completely wiped out. Nagumo Zhong sighed.

"From the time the three aircraft carrier battle groups were attacked to the time they were destroyed, they failed to find any trace of the enemy, and this time, we sent more than a dozen submarines, but it had no effect. It can be seen that the performance of the enemy's submarines is very good, and it is far from what the current anti-submarine means of our Great Japanese Empire can deal with. ”

"The battle on the water is not as good as on the land, Wei Qidong launched an attack on the land, and we still have traces to find, but these few times, he is like a ghost in the water, there is no trace. If we don't have an effective countermeasure, even if we send all the ships of our Combined Fleet out for a carpet search, I am afraid that it will not be possible to find the target. ”

"However, no matter what, no matter how advanced the submarine is, it should also need a port, and the ports along the coast of China are almost well known to our Imperial Japanese Combined Fleet, and there is no news of any submarine infestation at all. Could it be that it was from the southern coast of China, or even from Hong Kong? ”

"Impossible, how long will it take for Wei Qidong to go back? If it was from a port in southern China, how could it be possible to appear in the waters around Shanghai at such a fast speed, and it was not an airplane......"

In view of the current situation, the Japanese Navy Military Department held a heated discussion. However, the final discussion resulted in the fact that the murderer was basically determined to be Wei Qidong, and no appropriate response was obtained, and the final reason was that the target could not be locked.

If Wei Qidong's actions on land came and went without a trace, then his actions underwater were more like ghosts. Wei Qidong's actions on land, he can often know which direction he came, but his underwater actions, when he came and when he left, he didn't know anything, it was too weird.

The army is so huge, and it has used so many means to find a way to lock on to the target, and with the current scale, it may be even more difficult for the navy to lock on to Wei Qidong in a wider sea area.

"Judging by the current situation, I am afraid that it is not appropriate for our combined fleet to appear in the vicinity of Chinese waters for ......the time being," said the cautious Nagumo Tadaichi.

Nagumo Zhongyi's words were basically ready to comply with Wei Qidong's threat, and in the eyes of many people present, this decision was too timid, which made many people very unhappy.

"If the war in China does not have the cooperation of our Great Japanese Combined Fleet, I believe that General Nagumo knows better than anyone how much impact it will have." Immediately someone refuted.

"But in the current situation, if we continue to operate around China's waters, Wei Qidong will continue to attack, judging from Wei Qidong's attack efficiency, is it the speed of our shipbuilding, or the speed of his attack? I'm afraid that in a few months, my entire combined fleet will cease to exist. Nagumo Tadaichi said.

"General Nagumo is too ambitious, so let's destroy my own prestige. If Wei Qidong was really so sure, why would he send such a threatening telegram and directly and quietly destroy our Great Japanese Combined Fleet. Could it be that General Nagumo thinks that Wei Qidong will be merciful to us? ”

"Once, General Umezu and General Sugiyama of the military department also had such thoughts, thinking that Wei Qidong was unable to launch another attack, so they issued a warning. The result? ”

As soon as Nagumo Tadashi said this, the lieutenant general who had been refuting just now was immediately speechless, because Umezu Mijiro and Sugiyama Mototo and others were slapped in the face just a few days ago. There are many cities in Japan, but there are less than ten aircraft carriers, and Umezu Mijiro and Sugiyama Gen can take a few cities to test whether Wei Qidong's attack methods have been exhausted, and can the Great Japanese Combined Fleet still take a few aircraft carrier battle groups to test the water? Apparently impossible.

"If our combined fleet withdraws from Chinese waters, I'm afraid Wei Qidong will go ashore, and when the time comes, let the army guys clean up this mess." Someone else said.

The Japanese army and navy seemed to be a family, but they seemed to be two brothers who were not in harmony, and there were often all kinds of friction and disputes.
