(544) Mutation in Beijing

When Japan launched the Pacific War, it was also backward in terms of scientific and technological achievements, and it has always been in a state of backwardness, the most obvious and prominent example is our lack of radar, for example, a few months before we went to Hawaii, the "Azuchi" and " Before the Pacific War, the naval authorities strongly advocated installing radar on our aircraft carriers, but because Japan was pitifully backward in terms of electronic technology, all that was provided in the end was an experimental prototype, and it was not for aircraft carriers, and if we advanced the development of radar by six months, it would have provided extremely valuable favorable conditions for this decisive battle, and radar could penetrate the fog on the road that was hindering the advance of Nagumo's troops and approaching the battlefield, and more importantly, radar could detect enemy reconnaissance planes and measure their position in time, so that our fighters could annihilate enemy planes before they reported to the enemy fleet about the position of our formationIn order to alert enemy aircraft to attack our aircraft carriers in advance, and if our reconnaissance planes are equipped with radar, we will be able to detect the enemy's fleet much earlier than visual observation

A key component of the radar is the directional antenna, this antenna is a Japanese university professor Dr. Yagi Shuji was first made, in 1932 Yagi published his invention in the country, soon after he visited China and the United States, several China and United States magazines also published his invention, the Japanese troops attacking Pearl Harbor found that the electronic equipment of the rice army there used the Yagi antenna, but for them it was just a matter of pride for the United Kingdom, Both Japan and China have taken advantage of this invention and developed it for their own use, while Japan itself has not done so

It should be pointed out that the nature of the Japanese people is not suitable for large-scale production, and people are willing to engage in handicrafts rather than assembly operations, just as in the training of pilots, the construction of ships, Many important issues concerning the war and the development of science and technology have found themselves backward from the very beginning, and the more time passes, the greater the gap, of course, there are exceptions, such as Japan's oxygen torpedoes, which are beyond the reach of Shina and American torpedoes, and Japan's ' The performance of the Gale fighter was indeed better than that of any aircraft used in the Pacific Ocean, but it was soon surpassed by the new products of China, and the Japanese optical instruments were well-known for a long time, and there was no problem, and the high quality of the night telescopes used by our warships was one of the important factors that enabled the success of our night operations, but the night telescopes were not as good as radar after all

From the battle in Hawaii to the present day, Japan has won a series of great victories, which has surprised itself as much as other countries, and its initial fear of war has quickly disappeared, and as it continues to advance, the people of the country and the soldiers in front of it rejoice, and it does not take long for them to cease to regard the enemy's ability to fight and resist, and in this case the Japanese have developed an arrogant attitude of underestimating the enemy, and by the time of the naval battle in the Dragon Triangle, this psychological arrogance has reached the point where it has permeated the thoughts and actions of the officers and men of the fighting units, and this excessive conceit is quite rightly called'Victory Mania' and its poison is extremely widespread, and it exists at all levels of personnel who plan and execute the Dragon Triangle operation

Until the air raid on Tokyo in China, the war was smooth sailing for Japan, and those who drew up the battle plan were based entirely on imagining what the enemy would probably do, not what the enemy might do or what he was capable of doing. A spokesman for the Military Command Department also declared at a joint meeting of the Army and Navy: "What worries us most in this operation is that the enemy is unwilling to engage our fleet and refuses to come out of the base to fight."

This arrogance, underestimation of the enemy is no longer wrong, and the enemy is not only unwilling to come out to meet the battle, but is desperate and prepared, and we wishfully believe that we can do it by surprise, because we are full of thought that our plans will not be revealed, but this is not the case...,

The dispersion of our forces is another manifestation of arrogance, and the reason for the dispersion of our forces is that we fully believe that if the enemy is lured out by us and the situation so requires, our forces can be easily concentrated, but after the battle has begun, the very scattered forces cannot be concentrated for effective fighting, and this fully proves the absurdity of this plan

Our junior officers and soldiers are no less victorious than our commanders, but they are less influential. The consequences are not so far-reaching, but the symptoms are obvious, in the final analysis, not only in the Battle of the Dragon Triangle, but in the whole war, the root cause of Japan's defeat is deeply embedded in the Japanese national character, our people have a character that is contrary to reason and impulsive, so the action is aimless, often contradictory, the tradition of local ideas makes us narrow-minded, subjective, stubborn, and conservative, even if it is necessary, we are indecisive and slow to adopt the reform, so it is easy to fall into the arrogance of the night, which makes us look down on others, we are opportunistic, lack of boldness and independent spirit, are accustomed to relying on others and flattering our superiors, because of our lack of rationality, we tend to confuse aspirations with reality, and we do itIn short, as a nation, our thinking is not mature enough and we are not good at adjusting and adapting, so we do not know when and what kind of sacrifice to make in order to achieve our main goal, and these are the weaknesses of the Japanese nation, and the misfortune that has suffered Japan lies in these weaknesses

After a short time, the Japanese battlefleet and the aircraft carrier fleet rendezvous, and after learning the results of the aircraft carrier fleet's sinking of two large Chinese aircraft carriers, Kato Yanyou's heart felt a little calmer

Port of Keelung, Taiwan

When the bullet-riddled battleship Fuxi slowly sailed into the harbor under the tow of the tugboat, the onlookers on the shore erupted in cheers

The news of this unprecedented sea battle had spread all over the world at this time

Why was he injured so badly, Marshal Xu Yuanjin looked at the face of the Fuxi that had not completely dissipated the gunsmoke and asked in surprise

The Japanese super battleships seem to be more powerful than we know, and Vice Admiral Xu Shifang, commander of the Keelung Port Base, said that the cruelty of this battle is unimaginable

Yang Shuoming stared at the Chinese super battleship in front of him, and the light in his eyes flashed again

The three main turrets of the Fuxi have been seriously damaged, the hull of the ship is also damaged in many places, the huge hole in the deck is still smoking, and the twisted steel beams and iron parts can be seen everywhere, and the moment the giant ship has just stopped, the workers of the brigade have boarded the battleship, clanging and methodically began to get busy

The loss statistics have come up, and Yang Shuoming asked

Here, Xu Shifang handed over a report to Yang Shuoming: The battleships were all seriously damaged, but none of them sank, and the aircraft carriers suffered relatively large losses, with a total of 7 aircraft carriers, including the 'Jiaolong' and 'Panlong', two large aircraft carriers, the rest were light aircraft carriers and auxiliary aircraft carriers, with a total loss of 165 aircraft, and 4 light cruisers and 8 destroyers were sunk

What about the losses of the Japanese, Xu Yuanjin asked

It has been determined to sink two large Japanese aircraft carriers, four light aircraft carriers, one battleship and five heavy cruisers (the Chinese side does not yet know that any Japanese ships were destroyed in the storm), as well as 11 light ships of various types, Xu Shifang said that there are still some results that need time to confirm

That is to say, the loss is actually about the same, Yang Shuoming nodded after reading the report, and the 'big victory' mentioned in the newspaper is actually a bit exaggerated

In terms of the results alone, it can be called a great victory, because since the country has a navy, no battle has achieved such a brilliant result, Xu Shifang said, but for the whole war, it is not a 'decisive battle'

But in any case, this is also the real main decisive battle, Yang Shuoming came up with the scene of the Fuxi fighting with the Japanese ship at sea, but it is difficult to appear again in the future after the battle of big ships and huge guns like this...,

Yes, since the emergence of planes and aircraft carriers, the way of naval warfare has been very different, Xu Yuanjin also sighed, it seems that we have to hurry up and build more planes and aircraft carriers

After listening to Xu Yuanjin's words, everyone agreed, and at this time, the battlefleet had already entered the port, and the aircraft carriers began to enter the port, Xu Yuanjin saw that many aircraft carriers were also smoking, and some of them had damaged planes on them, and his face couldn't help but show anxiety

Yang Shuoming knew that Xu Yuanjin was worried about the safety of his sons in HNA, and he remembered his youngest daughter in the strategic bomber unit, and he was also very worried about it

A light aircraft carrier slowly drove into the harbor, and unlike the planes on other aircraft carriers, the planes on this aircraft carrier were all large delta-wing aircraft without propellers

What kind of plane is this, Xu Yuanjin asked with some surprise

Xu Shifang said: According to the pilots who flew over it, the performance was good, the speed was fast, and the firepower was fierce, but even the fuel consumption was too large, the thighs were short, and it was more dangerous to take off and land on the ship

I heard that this kind of plane has contributed a lot to this time, and many Japanese reconnaissance planes have come and gone when they encounter it, and a naval staff officer said on the sidelines that in this naval battle, all kinds of fighters have suffered losses, but it is the only one that has not lost a single one

Then it seems necessary to buy some more, hehe, Xu Shifang laughed

Several people were talking, and an official in a black suit suddenly walked over quickly and handed Yang Shuoming a small note

Yang Shuoming opened the note and looked at it, and his face couldn't help but change

What is wrong, Hanzhi Xu Yuanjin noticed the change in the expression on Yang Shuoming's face, and immediately asked

I have to go back immediately, Yang Shuoming's eyes fell on a Raven jet fighter on the aircraft carrier, prepare a plane of that kind for me right away

You are going to fly this kind of plane back to the capital, Xu Yuanjin was surprised, you are not joking

Do you think I'm joking, Yang Shuoming glanced at Xu Yuanjin, turned his head and said to Xu Shifang, arrange it immediately, I will leave in a while, he took out a letterhead printed with a golden tiger head shield emblem, and began to write instructions on it

Xu Yuanjin and everyone looked at each other, and somehow they all had an ominous premonition in their hearts

At night, the moon peeks out from the clouds and shines silver on the mountain streams

Yang Mingyun opened the trunk behind the car, took out the storm assault rifle and hung it around his neck, wrapped a rope across his chest and shoes to prevent slipping, tied a bullet belt around his waist, and the remaining two bullet belts were carried on his left shoulder and right flank, and the remaining rope was wrapped around his waist and hung on his waist

Closing the suitcase, Yang Mingyun put on suede gloves to prevent thorns from stabbing his hands, and then climbed the cliff and paused for a moment, listening attentively to the surrounding movements

At this moment, all he could hear was the murmuring of mountain streams, the cooling of the engine of Yang Mingyun's car, and the sound of trees caused by the wind passing through the trees

The cold air in the forest was overwhelming, Yang Mingyun couldn't help but shudder, he began to move in the forest, his shoes were wrapped with ropes, it was not easy to walk on the road, but it was very effective on the slippery hillside

What made Yang Mingyun feel a headache was that the dead branches broke when they touched it, making a loud noise

Suddenly, a beast path appeared in front of him, and Yang Mingyun, who didn't know whether it was a wild boar or a deer stepping on, carefully inspected the ground

The beast path is the path that the beast has stepped on, and the beast has its own territory, and in its own territory, it has carved out a special road in all directions, and when it comes to foraging or escaping from the enemy, you can use the beast path to make as little noise as possible

Yang Mingyun walked forward cautiously, barely hearing the sound of footsteps, the strap of the storm assault rifle hanging around his neck, the butt of the rifle clamped under his right armpit, ready to fire at any time

After walking about 500 meters, Yang Mingyun's left foot suddenly stepped on the soft ground

Yang Mingyun reflexively jumped up, his left foot rolled on the ground, only to hear a bang, bounced up from the ground, a tiger clip, the steel teeth of the tiger clip rubbed Yang Mingyun's jumped left foot, biting together, and falling to the ground in vain, this tiger clip has more than a dozen sharp steel teeth, if the foot and neck are clamped, I am afraid that even the bones will be crushed...,

There was a chain tied to the tiger clip, and the other end of the chain was fixed to a thick cedar tree next to the animal path, and the chain was originally hidden under the dirt and fallen leaves, but the tiger clip bounced up like this, and it was exposed

Yang Mingyun took out a hunting knife and cut off a small beech tree about three centimeters thick, cut off the branches and leaves to make a stick, and then he used the stick to poke on the ground near the tiger clip

Less than fifty centimeters forward, the stick was caught in the steel teeth by a second tiger clip that jumped from the ground, and sank deep into the wood

Yang Mingyun pulled out the stick from the tiger clip and continued to test the nearby ground, so the tiger clips buried around jumped up one after another, emitting a creepy metal biting sound

Yang Mingyun cursed in his heart, untied the clamp on the tiger clip, and the compression spring pulled the clip teeth open

One by one, he opened all the tiger clips and buried them as they were, and then swept them with beech twigs to remove the fallen leaves

Looking at the situation, I don't know what kind of trap I will encounter if I walk the beast path again, so Yang Mingyun left the beast path, and the small branches of the trees touched the body and broke off and made a little noise, so there was no way

After walking forward for another 300 meters, Yang Mingyun's left foot suddenly stepped on the ground covered by dead branches

When the trap thought flashed, Yang Mingyun reflexively jumped up, but it was too late, and Yang Mingyun's calf was covered by a wire sleeve

Before Yang Mingyun could come back, the iron chain hidden under the fallen leaves tightened with a bang, and at the same time, a bent tree in the forest on the left side bounced straight out and made a fierce sound

Yang Mingyun's legs were covered in a wire sleeve, his body was hung upside down high, and when his whole body was bounced up, the branches of the surrounding trees hit Yang Mingyun very painfully, he couldn't help moaning, but despite this, his mind remained calm, and his left hand tried to cover his pocket to prevent the hunting knife from falling out

Yang Mingyun hung headfirst down, about seven meters high from the ground, and the steel wire strangled his leg and stomach, making him feel severe pain

Yang Mingyun put the hunting knife in his mouth, bent over and straightened his upper body, grabbed the wire rope at the upper end of the wire sleeve with both hands, and pulled up with force, so that the weight of the sleeve on the left leg was transferred to both hands, Yang Mingyun let go of the wire sleeve, pulled out the wire rope with his left leg, grabbed the wire rope and swung it to the oak tree, sat down on a thick branch, and then put the hunting knife into his pocket, rolled up his left trouser leg to check the injury

The skin of the trouser leg has been cut through the steel wire, and the skin has become black, purple, black and purple

Yang Mingyun massaged the wound for a while, relieved the pain a little, and then stood on the branch to observe the surrounding forest, the trees were black and oppressive, coupled with the protruding mountain beams to cover it, how could he not see the manor-like building, Yang Mingyun had to slide down from the tree, cut off a small cedar wood, cut into a wooden stick with a diameter of three centimeters, and walked forward with this wooden stick while controlling the rope on the ground

Just because all his attention was focused on the trap on the ground, Yang Mingyun almost hit a thin wire painted black across his chest

Yang Mingyun suddenly broke out in a cold sweat (to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to come (.) to vote for recommendations, monthly passes, your support is my biggest motivation)
