496 Icy cold

When Laute Island was in chaos, Bao Deshui had already launched an attack in Ningbei Port according to the established plan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ningbei Port is Petropavlovsk, which is actually the real ice-free port of Northern Krai.

Geographically, the geographical location of Ningbei Port is not as important as Vladivostok, so the Lanfang Northern Fleet will choose Vladivostok as its home port in summer, but in winter, the Northern Fleet will go to Ningbei Port to avoid the ice period of Vladivostok.

Since the North Sea Fleet is in Ningbei Port, the Japanese Northward Fleet is naturally also in Ningbei Port.

As early as three days ago, when war had just been declared, the Japanese northbound fleet had blockaded the port of Ningbei.

Because of the threat of the land batteries in Ningbei Port, the Japanese fleet did not carry out a direct attack on Ningbei Port, but prepared to use troop carriers to transport the Japanese Army to Kamchatka Peninsula and launch an attack on Ningbei Port from land.

This gives Bao Deshui plenty of time to transition.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Bao De and his torpedo pilots appeared at the airfield, preparing to strike at the Japanese northbound fleet.

"General Bao, just a glass of water and wine, I wish General Bao success." Chen Kangjian, commander of the Northern Xinjiang Region, also visited Ningbei Port to supervise the battle.

The sun came late at 53 degrees north latitude, and at 8 o'clock in the morning, the sky was just dawning, but recently it has been snowing heavily, and the whole land is covered in snow, and the visibility is quite good under the reflection of the snow.

The refreshed torpedo planes were steadily parked on the tarmac, the torpedoes were hung up, the fuel tanks were full, and they were waiting for the pilots to take them into the sky.

At this time, on the tarmac, the stars are really shining, not only Chen Kangjian was present, but also the deputy commander of the Northern Xinjiang Region, Ge Lifu, was also present, and at the same time, Tan Xueheng, commander of the Northern Xinjiang Fleet, Liang Lishan, commander of the Northern Xinjiang Air Force, Wu Yingke, commander of the coastal defense battery of Ningbei Port, and so on.

Bao Deshui's military rank is actually only a colonel, and there is still a gap between him and the general, but it is foreseeable that if Bao Deshui leads the team to successfully complete the task this time, then it will be just around the corner to be promoted to the rank of colonel and replaced by a major general.

When Chen Kangjian said this, he naturally had good wishes in it.

Just after Chen Kangjian finished speaking, a guard brought hot wine, and Bao Deshui and all the torpedo pilots each had a glass in their hands and drank it all.

You have to drink it quickly, otherwise it will soon turn into a lump of ice.

"Thanks to the commander's good words, with the commander's cup of wine, we will live up to the trust of Your Majesty and you, and if we don't succeed, we will become benevolent!" Bao Deshui is determined.

"You can't become a benevolent, you must succeed! Even if you are a beneficiary, you must become a beneficiary after success! "Chen Kangjian is demanding.

For Lan Fang, this is the only opportunity, grasp it, you can completely defeat the arrogance of the Japanese, and from then on occupy the initiative in the war, if you can't grasp it, then it will be all over, even if there is only one battleship left in the Japanese North Fleet, it is not something that the current North Fleet can contend with.

Hearing Chen Kangjian's hoarse roar, Bao Deshui didn't say much, saluted a military salute in a dignified manner, and turned around and walked towards the torpedo machine that had been warmed up.

"I hope everything goes well, and if the mission goal is successfully achieved, I will definitely build a shrine for the Bo people in Ningbei Port." Tan Xueheng, commander of the Northern Frontier Fleet, joined the Lanfang Fleet as early as Trident City, and he must be familiar with "Poseidon".

"What kind of temple to build, if you want to build it, you must build a Bodhisattva temple, and mold the golden body of the Bodhisattva." Wu Yingke, commander of the coastal defense battery, still likes traditional mythology.

"Don't talk nonsense, Lao Wu, you go back to the battery and keep an eye on it, to prevent the little devils from burning, Lao Tan will release all the submarines, and the destroyers will also be ready to fight, if the torpedo planes do not sink all the Japanese fleet, the navy will be responsible for sending all the little devils to the bottom of the sea." Chen Kangjian is not in the mood to talk nonsense.

"Yes!" Wu Yingke and Tan Xueheng stood up and saluted, turned around and walked towards the "pit bull" parked next to the tarmac.

"God, bless us!" Air Force Commander Liang Lishan suddenly shouted.

"Do your best, know the destiny of heaven......" Greif saluted the torpedo planes that flew into the blue sky one after another.

At this time, because there was no radio communication device, the pilots wanted to communicate with each other, so they could only rely on gestures in the air, but fortunately, Bao Deshui and the other pilots had enough tacit understanding after a transfer flight of tens of thousands of kilometers, and when they flew into the air, Bao Deshui and they formed a flight formation for every three planes according to the predetermined plan, and flew towards the coordinates provided by the reconnaissance plane.

Compared with the southbound fleet, the strength of the Japanese northbound fleet was slightly weaker, only the three battleships "Ise", "Fuso", and "Kongo", and the last battleship "Kirishima" did not participate in the war.

In fact, this is indeed the case, although there are only three battleships, it is already very worthy of the Lanfang fleet, purely in terms of configuration, any of the Japanese northbound fleet and the southbound fleet have the strength to defeat all the Lanfang battleships alone.

The only variable is the Lanfang Air Force.

Bao Deshui knew very well in his heart how heavy the burden was on their shoulders.

Just in front of their torpedo group in Bao Deshui, the reconnaissance planes that had been sent out earlier had been navigating the group, and in order to confuse the public, the northern frontier even excluded a group of bombers, preparing to distract the Japanese fleet from the north.

Inside the bridge of the battleship Kongo, the captain of the battleship Kongo, Kamataro Muta, is studying the charts with Kantaro Suzuki, the commander of the Kitakami fleet.

"At noon today, the convoy transporting the Eighth Division and the Ninth Division will leave the port, pay attention to Lanfang's submarines, and send destroyers to protect the troop carriers." Kantaro Suzuki is worried about the wartime ahead.

"Hai...... The second destroyer detachment will escort the troop carriers at that time, but I think that Lanfang's submarines may not dare to come out, as long as they dare to come out, we will definitely be able to send them all to the bottom of the sea. "Muta Kametaro is confident.

Submarines are indeed a sharp weapon against merchant ships, but if they face destroyers, submarines are left with only a dead end.

At this time, the destroyers have basically installed active sonar, and the submarine has lost the protection of the sea water in front of the destroyer, and if it is discovered by the destroyer, the submarine will not be able to run away, and it will not be able to fight, so it can only passively wait for death.

It is precisely for this reason that almost all of Lan Fang's submarines are currently parked in the military port and dare not go out.

Of course, this is also because Qin Zhiyuan has a trump card in his hand, if Qin Zhiyuan does not have a torpedo machine in his hand, then as early as the beginning of the war, Qin Zhiyuan will release all the submarines to ambush the Japanese merchant ships.

Cough...... If there were no torpedo machines, Qin Zhiyuan would not have started a war with the Japanese at all.

Qin Zhiyuan really hates the Japanese, but Qin Zhiyuan is not stupid, Qin Zhiyuan will not do anything about hitting a stone with an egg.

"Don't underestimate your enemies, otherwise you will definitely pay the price, Lanfang's submarines have the technical support of the British, French and Germans, it can be said that they are the most advanced submarines in the world at the moment, you must pay attention to them." Kantaro Suzuki does not take it lightly.

Before becoming the commander of the Kitakami Fleet, Suzuki Kantaro was the president of the Naval University, and even if Ranfang and Japan did not go to war, Suzuki Kantaro would be the commander of the Second Fleet, and would later become the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet.

How many submarines exactly Lanfang has is a mystery to Japan.

The Japanese knew that Lanfang had submarines in their hands, and they were quite advanced, but they only knew a rough idea, and the specific number of Lanfang submarines, as well as the specific performance of submarines, the Japanese did not know.

If it is the fleet of the Republic of China, with Japan's infiltration of the Republic of China, the Japanese can say unashamedly that the fleet of the Republic of China has no secrets in front of Japan, but for Lanfang, the Japanese are not sure.

Lanfang is indeed a country of immigrants, but at the same time, Lanfang is also a country with strict control over the flow of people, and the Japanese did send agents to Lanfang, but so far, the agents sent by the Japanese side have not played their due role.

"Report, a large number of planes are flying towards us!" The officer on duty, who had been observing by the porthole, shouted a warning.

"Airplanes? What do they want to do? Throwing bombs on our battleships? Muta Kametaro felt a little funny, so he went to the porthole and picked up the binoculars to observe.

Aircraft bombing warships, this is not uncommon in world wars, but the hit rate is really pitiful.

At this time, the bombers did not even have relatively mature sighting equipment, and it was fashionable and inaccurate to bomb land targets, and wanting to bomb moving targets at sea was simply a cannon to shoot mosquitoes.

"Plane, huh...... Sooner or later, we will have to develop aircraft, and it is best to wait until we defeat Lanfang and get some information and equipment from Lanfang, which will shorten our research cycle. "Kantaro Suzuki thinks beautifully.

As the president of the Naval University, Suzuki Kantaro is still very receptive to all kinds of new things, such as airplanes, such as tanks, Suzuki Kantaro has been involved.

Of course, limited to the general environment of the Japanese military department, it is only a matter of dabbling, and if you want to study it in the current environment, funding is a big problem.

Kantaro Suzuki, although he knew that the current Japan was not capable of researching airplanes and tanks, did not give up and pinned his hopes on the next war.

This is also a consistent method of the Japanese, who always pin their hopes on the illusion of getting something for nothing......

It's not an illusion, the problem is that the Japanese always succeed.

For example, if it weren't for the large amount of reparations that Suzuki Kantaro is riding on now, if it weren't for the large amount of reparations that he received after the First Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese would have dreamed of building him.

It's a pity that now Japan is facing Lan Fang, and I don't know whether Lan Fang will become the prey of Japan, or Japan will become the prey of Lan Fang.

Just as Kantaro Suzuki was thinking wildly, the three planes in the sky suddenly pressed down on the nose of the plane, and only resumed level flight only 50 meters above the sea surface, and then a cylindrical object was thrown from the plane.

"That'...... That's ......" Kantaro Suzuki suddenly felt cold all over his body, and it was very difficult to breathe, as if the icy sea was about to submerge him.
