Chapter 1714 The dust has settled

In fact, the power of the missile fired at Kota Bharu Port was something that even the designers of the missile did not expect. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because the F-2 missile has an error of more than 100 meters, according to the information sent by the airship's radar, the original target of the missile should have been the oil depot in the dock area, and it is hoped that the explosion of the oil depot can destroy the port facilities.

However, the missile hit the Japanese "Tenryu"-class cruiser by mistake, and it produced an unexpectedly brilliant result, which no one had expected beforehand.

The second missile, which was fired at the port of Kedah, was less powerful.

The 1.5-ton armor-piercing high-energy explosive warhead plunged headlong into the open space in the dock area, making an earth-shattering sound and a huge shock wave, completely engulfing a small group of Japanese troops on patrol.

However, although this missile blew up a large crater six or seven meters deep and about twenty or thirty meters wide, it did not have any substantial impact on the wharf, but it took Vice Admiral Jizaburo Ozawa, commander of the Japanese Southern Fleet, who witnessed all this, by surprise.

The Japanese Southern Fleet consisted of five heavy cruisers, the 4th and 5th Diving Squadrons, and the 9th and 11th Base Squadrons, which were mainly responsible for the operational needs of the Malay area.

According to the establishment of the Japanese Navy, overseas naval grass-roots military districts are set up, and the base units are set up with the ships to set up forward bases, and the establishment of the units has under the jurisdiction of one gunboat, five minesweepers (sea sweeping team), six submarine hunting teams (submarine driving team), seven service boats, eight transport ships, a number of coastal batteries, observation posts, aviation units, and garrison units.

On this occasion, Ozawa Jizaburo led a small fleet to Kedah Port to inspect the construction of coastal batteries to prevent a possible landing operation by the British army.

Listening to the terrible air defense sirens emitted by the fleet, Jizaburo Ozawa felt that the situation was very strange, and immediately issued an order that the fleet should change from entering the port to leaving the port, and that the port of Kedah should not be stopped.

The fleet had just returned to the strait outside when an earth-shattering explosion was heard again in the port, and it turned out that the second missile had once again visited the port of Kedah.

Unfortunately, this time the missile was crooked again, but there was a surprise.

The first missile was originally intended to knock out the oil depot at the port, and the second was to blow up the shipyard, but as a result, Zhang Guan Li Dai hit the oil depot, and finally the expected big explosion occurred. The burst of fuel quickly turned the entire port of Kedah into a human purgatory, and the terrible screams seemed to be heard for miles away.

Having received a report from a special observer about the mysterious weapon, Vice Admiral Jizaburo Ozawa hurried to the rear deck of the heavy cruiser "Chokai" to observe the situation in the harbor through binoculars, and found that the entire port of Kedah was already shrouded in a sea of fire and smoke.

Yoshida Nakasa, a staff officer of the Navy's Southern Fleet who was following the commander, asked in disbelief: "No bombers were found, and there was no sound of artillery, but the explosion actually happened in front of our eyes, is this a weapon invented by the Shina people?" ”

Lieutenant General Jizaburo Ozawa put down the telescope with a solemn expression: "There is no doubt that this is a fully designed weapon, I don't know where it flew from, and I don't know where it will fly, but from the discovery of it in the telescope to the explosion, the whole process takes less than a few seconds, and there is no way to deal with it at all." According to the power it shows, I wonder if our capital ship will be able to withstand that powerful impact?

"I now have a great suspicion that the people of China may know that we are going to the port of Kedah and try to deal a devastating blow to our fleet with this advanced weapon! No, I must report this matter to the naval command, the people of China have a mysterious weapon, if we can't confirm what it is, the activities of our navy in the Strait of Malacca and the Malay Peninsula will be very dangerous! ”

Yoshida Nakasa hesitated for a moment, but still reported truthfully: "Commander, this is very likely to be a retaliatory action by the Shina people."

"Revenge!?"

Lieutenant General Ozawa turned his head and asked, "Yoshida-kun, what do you know?" ”

Yoshida Nakasa said: "Didn't we escort the 18th Division to implement the landing plan before?" At that time, I became acquainted with Captain Chido Nishiyama, the combat staff officer of the Tomi detachment. After the end of the Malay war, according to the base camp plan, the Tumei detachment will withdraw to the Langyin Islands and reorganize and put into the battlefield.

However, the staff officers of the 25th Army believed that they should take advantage of the high morale of the current army and go all the way down the Malay Peninsula to Siam, and then take Annam, so as to completely destroy the An Jia Army, the great enemy of life and death in the empire. Yesterday I received a secret telegram from Captain Chido Nishiyama, saying that the Tomei detachment will launch an attack on the other side of the border this morning! He asked me to advise the commander to go north and shell the port of Phuket when the time was ripe, and involve the forces of the Chinese people!

"Now that the revenge of the people of China has come, I fear that the operation on the east coast may have failed!"

After saying that, Yoshida Nakasa hung his head, ashamed of betraying his friend. However, the people of Honshina have an unprecedented means of attack, and if the Imperial Navy still insists on fighting north, it will inevitably be hit by mysterious weapons, and Yoshida Nakasa is not willing to die young, so he went to see Amaterasu early before he became a general.

"What? Are you saying that the Tomei detachment crossed the border and took the initiative to attack the Anjia army? ”

Jizaburo Ozawa asked in shock, and after receiving an affirmative reply from Nakasa Yoshida, he patted his head and said bitterly, "Confused! Confused! Before this, we and An Jiajun were all at peace, although there were frequent fires on other fronts, but in this Nanyang area, there was no unhappiness with each other, that is, the top of the empire did not want to completely tear their faces with them and really cut off trade.

According to Mr. Lu Kaiming, a friend of the empire, many of the medicines, chemicals and electronic products urgently needed by the empire must be obtained through Nanhua, and if the other party cuts off the supply, many high-end supplies may be interrupted. A few years ago, it became popular among the top officials of the empire to give a gift called 'Brave Pill', a drug with refreshing and aphrodisiac effects that has been rigorously tested for no toxicity, but after taking it, it makes people feel more energetic, and even His Majesty the Emperor occasionally takes one, and its source is Nanhua.

Mr. Lu Kaiming also promised that he was currently doing high-level work in South China, and perhaps in a year or two the Imperial Navy would be able to obtain a precious electronic product that could detect enemy fighters from a distance, and the An Jiajun would use this kind of thing to easily defeat the Imperial Air Force. If our navy can get this kind of electronic product, it will be tantamount to adding wings to the tiger, so the Minister of Military Command Nagano, the minister of military order, and the minister of Kawakaixiang and Admiral Yamamoto are not willing to start a war with Nanhua at this juncture!

"The top echelons of the empire judged that the South Chinese were also taking advantage of this international war to speculate, as can be seen from the wars they had launched in Central Asia, and now that they had invaded Afghanistan, it was very likely that they would be involved in a protracted war with the Soviet Union in the future. All along, the Imperial Navy has adopted a strategy of turning a blind eye to the inflow of oil and iron ore into South China, that is, knowing that they cannot be conquered on the battlefield, and that we can only obtain what we urgently need by maintaining a proper interaction with them!

"Yoshida-kun, the Shina people do not have a strong navy, they can only be trapped on land, but the empire can increase our power by conquering the four seas. When we are like the British, where the sun shines, there is the land of the Empire, then it will be the time for the real decisive battle with the An Jiajun

"No, I must report this to the commander of the Combined Fleet, Admiral Yamamoto, so that he can exert a positive influence on the strategic direction of the Imperial Base Camp. Our adversary has developed a mysterious weapon that can attack from a distance, and until now, we have not yet known what it is, how far it is, and how many of these weapons the enemy has, and the Imperial Navy must not be plunged into a terrible unknown war because of the recklessness of the army! ”

Yoshida thought for a moment and suggested:

"Commander, I think it's better to observe for a few days, and wait until the situation is clear! If the army makes a breakthrough on the eastern front, and the instructions from the base camp come down, we will report the unfavorable military situation at this time, and we may be attacked by those fanatical soldiers! From the 226 mutiny to the present, it is no longer known how many lieutenant generals and political celebrities have died in assassination, and the murderers have been acquitted in the name of patriotism. ”

Lieutenant General Jizaburo Ozawa was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face: "It's okay!" Shame on those people in the Army, otherwise they just know to keep their eyes on land. I don't know that the ocean is a precious resource, and whoever can control the ocean can control the world! ”

"Commander wise!" Nakasa Yoshida said with sincere admiration.

I don't know whether the navy deliberately concealed it, or the front-line generals were afraid of taking responsibility, but Lieutenant General Yamashita Fengfumi, commander of the 25th Army, and the generals of various divisions and brigades who attended the military and political meeting in Zhengxingzhou did not know the news of the Anjia Army's dispatch until four days later.

The 1st Army of King Xulun, under the jurisdiction of Gu Changfeng's corps, divided into two routes, led by powerful tanks and armored troops, crossed the boundary river at Taogongfu on the east coast, easily defeated the remnants of the Tomei detachment, crossed the Kelantan River again, destroyed the Japanese garrison defending Kota Bharu, and occupied this seaport city in northeastern Malaya.

The troops then marched southward, occupying Bazo, Fudi, Ride and other places, and advanced until the strong southern defense line had been wiped out by heavy rains.

On the other hand, the town of Sadao in Songkhla crossed the border and attacked Perlis on the west coast of Malaya, with the cooperation of a powerful air force on the Bukit Merah and Chu Peng Shan lines south of the border. The army then rolled southward and occupied Kedah Harbour, and the Penang Bukit Mertajam and Mt. Besa defense lines once again wiped out an independent Japanese garrison and drove all the way to the Vu Ng Pass south of Taiping Town, Perak, before the operation came to an end.

During the entire campaign, which lasted a week, the Japanese army annihilated more than 9,000 people, captured more than 2,000 people, captured 98 large and small cannons, more than 400 grenadiers, more than 150 light and heavy machine guns, more than 5,000 guns, and more than 500 boxes of ammunition.

When Yamashita sent troops and dispatched troops, and the Guards Division, the Fifth Division, and the 56th Division, as well as the tanks and army aviation units attached to the 25th Army, were actively heading north to prepare for the recovery of the lost territory in the north, they suddenly received information that the Anjia Army had withdrawn and was withdrawing to the border line, and the source of the information was the news broadcast by Syria and the South China Radio Station.

During the operation, the An Jia Army relocated more than 200,000 expatriates from northern Malaya to Songkhla City, and all industrial facilities were relocated, and the whole fighting ended on December 15.

The Japanese army entered the border line on the 20th, and Captain Chido Nishiyama, who had been hiding in the mountains for a month, and all the staff officers of the Tomi detachment came out of the mountains, with more than 1,000 surviving soldiers of the Tomi detachment in rags, and reported to the garrison, and then reported the entire incident to the 25th Army headquarters.

With the report of Captain Chido Nishiyama, the commander of the 25th Army, Lieutenant General Yamashita Fumi, finally had a comprehensive understanding of what was happening at the front, and naturally hated Nogou Daisa, who took the initiative to provoke the war, and then reported the entire process of the conflict to the Tokyo base camp.

At this time, the debate in the base camp on whether to continue to go south or expand the Chinese battlefield had reached a critical moment, and the report of Yamashita Fengwen, as well as the relevant information sent by the navy in due time, suddenly gave the southbound faction an absolute upper hand, and the bloody storm that originally surrounded Xuzhou disappeared abruptly.
