Chapter 604: It's Finally Here
"Is there any news from the UK?"
After bombing London for half a day, Chen Jinghui estimated that many cities in Britain had been bombed into ruins this time, and Churchill should also realize his mistake. So he felt that Britain should take the initiative to contact China and pray for peace.
"Commander, I haven't heard anything from the British for the time being." Xiao Dong said.
"It seems that Churchill has no remorse for his actions this time, so don't blame me for being rude. The Air Force in France was ordered to bomb Britain for two hours a day. Exactly when to bomb that city they decide for themselves. ”
Hearing that there was no news from Britain, Chen Jinghui knew that this time Churchill was determined to go against China and mix with the United States and Japan. So he was not prepared to entangle with the British and continue to punish them until the end of the war.
"Commander, the Sixth Fleet reports that the aircraft carrier fleet of the United States and Japan conducting exercises on the Korean Peninsula is still continuing, and it seems that there is no intention of withdrawing." Xiao Dong's report.
"Well, they must have some intentions. In this way, the Sixth Fleet was ordered to continue surveillance and act as soon as they approached the coastline. Chen Jinghui ordered.
"Report, Commander Li reported that the Southeast Asia operation is nearing its end, the rebels of the three countries have all been wiped out, the local people have calmed down, and our provisional government is being restored." Communications Staff Report.
"Very good, order Commander Li to end the rebellion in Southeast Asia as soon as possible and do a good job in the defense of Southeast Asia." Chen Jinghui ordered.
"Hello Commander-in-Chief." As soon as Chen Jinghui gave the order, he heard the voice of greeting the commander-in-chief from outside.
"Hello Commander-in-Chief," Chen Jinghui saluted.
"Hehe, okay. What's going on in Southeast Asia, I heard that it's coming to an end. The commander-in-chief asked.
"Well, Commander Li reported just now that it is basically over, and now our provisional government is being restored." Chen Jinghui said.
"That's good, but I want to remind Commander Li to do a good job in the defense of Southeast Asia as soon as possible. Especially in the Philippines and Malaysia, we must do a good job as soon as possible. I think these things that have happened in the past few days seem to be a kind of foreshadowing, and there is a possibility of a big war. The commander-in-chief said.
"Well, judging from these recent events, the United States and Japan should have a big move against our China." Chen Jinghui said.
"Then do you have any plans, or what are the preset countermeasures?" The commander-in-chief asked.
"Commander-in-Chief, this concrete plan cannot be made at all, and we have no idea what they will be guarding against an attack. The Ryukyu Islands, the East China Sea, the boys, and the Indian Ocean are all possible. Chen Jinghui said.
"What you say makes sense, but we still have to make some preparations, otherwise we will be caught off guard when there is a sudden emergency." said the commander-in-chief.
"I have already made deployments, and the Sixth Fleet continues to monitor the U.S. and Japanese exercise fleets in the waters off the Korean Peninsula. The First and Second Fleets patrol the waters of the East China Sea and Taiwan Bay, the Third to Fifth Fleets patrol the South China Sea, and the Seventh Fleet patrols close to the Indian Ocean. The reason for this arrangement is that I think the United States and Japan are likely to launch a surprise attack on China from the waters between Taiwan Bay and the Philippines. Because their interests are mainly in Southeast Asia, this is their best choice. Chen Jinghui said.
"Well, you're right, but there are always surprises. I think it's very likely that they will land in Vietnam again and attack us by land. So you should be more prepared in this sea area, just in case. The commander-in-chief said.
"Hiss"
The commander-in-chief's words seemed to wake up Chen Jinghui at once, and he began to look at the map and think seriously. Ever since he received the news that the US Navy had gone to sea, Chen Jinghui had always believed that they would land directly in China from the coastal areas of China, so he had been defending in the waters of China. But he forgot that the Japanese army had been out several times before, and the American, British, and German troops had all come from East Asia.
"The commander-in-chief is right, they have a good chance of landing in Vietnam, and even India. He ordered the Second Fleet to immediately rush to patrol the waters of the South China Sea near Taiwan Bay, and ordered the Third to Fifth Fleets to immediately rush to Vietnamese waters and the Indian Ocean to patrol to prevent a sneak attack by the United States and Japan. Chen Jinghui figured it out and immediately made adjustments.
"Report, the reconnaissance aircraft of the Middle East base reported that a large number of ships were found in the Indian Ocean, and they did not raise the flag, so they could not tell which country it was." Chen Jinghui had just given the order to make adjustments, and as a result, there was news from the Air Force.
"Let them reconnoiter how many aircraft carriers these ships of unknown origin have." Chen Jinghui asked.
"The report, which has been confirmed, has confirmed that there are a total of 6 aircraft carriers, and the total number of ships is about 130." Staff Report.
"Damn, they're really coming from here. These ships must be the aircraft carrier fleets of the United States and Japan, and there will be no one else except them. The commander-in-chief said.
"Well, it's finally here, it seems that all the things they did before were to divert our attention, just to prepare for their covert operation." Chen Jinghui said.
"It seems that the main battlefield this time is in the Indian Ocean, and we must prepare for war as soon as possible." said the commander-in-chief.
"Well, come on, order the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Fleets to rush to the Indian Ocean at full speed, and order the Second Fleet to rush over as well. Commander Li of the Southwest Military Region, as well as Xue Yue in the Philippines and Malaysia, were ordered to make a good defense within a day to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack. Chen Jinghui ordered.
"Well, I hope our navy can arrive in time, otherwise our officers and men will suffer." said the commander-in-chief.
"The commander-in-chief is right, I hope to catch up. Well!??? ”
Chen Jinghui looked at the Air Force report a little and said. But when he looked at the Air Force report again, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"What's wrong?" The commander-in-chief asked.
"No, the quantity is wrong." Chen Jinghui said to himself.
"Why is the number wrong, you can tell me." The commander-in-chief asked.
"Commander-in-chief, you see, this is the report of the Air Force, which says that six aircraft carrier fleets of the United States and Japan have been discovered. At present, there are only two aircraft carrier fleets of the United States and Japan conducting exercises on the Korean Peninsula. We have analyzed before that if they attack our Huaxia, then they will gather at least ten fleets, but now there are only eight fleets combined, and two fleets are going there. Chen Jinghui said.
"Hiss"
Chen Jinghui analyzed it like this, and the commander-in-chief immediately gasped. Chen Jinghui is right, according to the current strength of the devil and the US Navy, they will gather at least ten aircraft carrier fleets to fight. Now there are only eight, then the remaining two or even more go there, and that's the point.
"Order Huang Erwa to immediately find out to me how many fleets exist in the United States and Japan." Chen Jinghui ordered.
"Report, Commander Huang reports, they have been monitoring the aircraft carrier fleets of the two countries. At present, the United States still has three aircraft carrier fleets at home, while the Japanese side has four aircraft carrier fleets. Xiao Dong reported.
"What, the Japanese still have so many navies on the mainland. Hey, they're too close to our East China Sea. Moreover, with such a huge fleet, they are likely to attack the East China Sea and the Taiwan Bay Strait. Chen Jinghui said.
"It seems that the United States and Japan have used almost all of their naval forces this time, which means that they want to have a decisive battle with our China. According to the current number of their aircraft carriers, it has reached as many as 12. The commander-in-chief said.
"Well, it looks like we need to make adjustments, and the current defense is definitely not going to work." Chen Jinghui said.
"What do you think?" The commander-in-chief asked.
"In this way, the five fleets on the other side of the Indian Ocean should remain unchanged and should be able to defeat their coalition forces. However, on the side of the East China Sea and the Taiwan Strait, we must abandon the defense of the far sea and replace it with the defense of the near sea. First of all, it should not be much of a problem to let the First Fleet hide behind Taiwan Bay and cooperate with the shore artillery on the shore and our newly equipped road-based missiles to do a good job in the defense of this area. On this side of the East China Sea, let the Sixth Fleet immediately approach the Dalian area, and let Commander Xu do a good job of coastal defense in this area in advance. At the same time, on the Korean Peninsula, we can give up when necessary, and directly abandon the border. In this way, we can shorten the depth of our defenses, making it easier for us to defend. The Korean Peninsula is the closest to the Japanese mainland, and they will certainly not give up on retaking it, so this will be their chosen combat area. Chen Jinghui put forward his opinion.
"Very well, your analysis is correct, I think so too. But just in case, I think areas such as Qingdao and Yantai should also be well defended and prepared for the unexpected. The commander-in-chief said.
"The commander-in-chief is right, and orders the First Fleet to immediately return to defend the inland waters of Taiwan Bay; ordered the Sixth Fleet to rush to the coastal defense of Dalian; He ordered the commander of the Northwest Military Region to do a good job in the defense of the northeast coast, especially the coastal defense in the Dalian area, and at the same time ordered him to immediately withdraw from the Korean Peninsula and defend the border if a large number of enemy fleets are found in the waters of the Korean Peninsula; ordered the former commander of the Eastern Military Region, Xu Xiangqian, to strengthen the defense of coastal areas, especially important areas such as Qingdao and Yantai; The Eighth Fleet was ordered to stop sea trials and immediately approach the port of Qingdao. Chen Jinghui issued several orders in a row.
"Jinghui, are you planning to let the Eighth Fleet participate in the war? Their sea trials have not yet been completed, and a hasty entry into the war will lead to big problems. The commander-in-chief said.
"Commander-in-Chief, these are extraordinary times, and we must use all naval forces to the fullest. The Eighth Fleet, as part of the Navy, is also responsible for this defense. Besides, if you let them not go to war, in case our maritime defense fails this time, they will become alone, and then they will be the same fish in someone else's bowl. So they must now be mentally prepared and ready to go to war at any time. Chen Jinghui said.
"Alas, I hope the officers and men of the Eighth Fleet can understand that we have no choice but to do this." The commander-in-chief said with a helpless sigh.
"The commander-in-chief can rest assured of this, I believe that they will have an opinion if you don't let them participate in the war this time. If you let them go to war, I guess they're happier than anyone else, I'm sure of that. ”
Although the Eighth Fleet has only been established for more than a month, they are also part of the Navy. They are equipped with a new type of aircraft carrier independently developed by Huaxia, but Chen Jinghui believes that they will not feel superior and arrogant. I believe that they will fight for the honor of the country and the soldiers, World War II, for the nation.
