Chapter 783: The Key Point for Breaking the Game
Because there was not much evidence to refer to, the chief of staff thought for a minute and did not come up with a reasonable explanation. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the end, Vice Admiral Kaohsiung still decided that the enemy who attacked his detachment was the Wehrmacht's torpedo boat unit.
At this time, Vice Admiral Kaohsiung suddenly thought of the Third Fleet, which was reinforcing the First Squadron, a total of five ships.
Since the First Squadron had been wiped out by the Wehrmacht, there was no point in sending reinforcements over. A bad Wehrmacht, which has just completely annihilated one of its own detachments, is likely to have shifted the next target of attack to the detachment it has just dispatched.
In order not to lose five warships, Vice Admiral Kaohsiung immediately ordered the chief of staff to send a telegram to the reinforcement detachment and told them to retreat quickly.
As soon as the five squadrons in charge of reinforcements retreated, the Japanese Second Squadron in the other direction followed suit and received a telegram from Vice Admiral Kaohsiung to strengthen the vigilance, and then ordered the Second Squadron to stop searching for the Wehrmacht Navy and move closer to the direction of the main force of the fleet as soon as dawn.
At dawn the next day, far away from the temporary headquarters behind Yingkou, Yang Xingguo received a good news from Chen Jiliang.
Although I didn't see the content of the good news, it can be seen from the excited expression on Chen Jiliang's face that last night's sea raid and ambush battle must have been welcomed.
Sure enough, as soon as Yang Xingguo shifted his gaze to the telegram, Chen Jiliang said excitedly: "Dashuai, we really won, your sea guerrilla warfare is too powerful, nine of the most advanced warships of the Japanese Navy were blown up and sunk by us at once, and the seven ships and nine submarines we dispatched, except for the ships that were injured by shells and lost nearly 100 naval officers, there were no other losses." I am sure that this naval battle created an unprecedented miracle in the history of naval warfare. ”
Yang Xingguo, who read the telegram, was also very satisfied, and replied after a long sigh of relief: "The navy has cooperated well, and for the naval officers and men who went to battle this time, your naval headquarters must be seriously injured." If nothing else, after this naval battle, the devil should be much more honest with the remaining more than 20 warships, and he will not dare to divide his troops casually. ”
In the next ten days, the devil left more than 20 warships, and there was really no big action.
More than 20 warships were divided into two, with a detachment blocking the 50-kilometer sea area outside the Yingkou wharf and a detachment blocking the 50-kilometer sea area outside the Dalian wharf, and no ships were allowed to approach the two wharves.
Of course, the military ports of these two piers were undoubtedly blown into ruins by the retaliatory shelling of the devils.
"Marshal, after such a long time, the devil navy still has no intention of retreating. In addition, although the imperial court and the Beiyang Army did not block the passages in the Guannai, they strengthened their patrol efforts, and less than one percent of the caravans could pass through their patrol efforts. It can be said that the three northeastern provinces of China, whether by sea or by land, have all been cut off. Chief of Staff Sun Liechen glanced at the map hanging on the wall and reported to Yang Xing in a heavy Chinese tone.
Seeing that Yang Xingguo frowned and didn't speak, Sun Liechen continued: "Also, the intelligence department under the General Staff Department has reported in the past two days that because of the blockade of the border gates, some businessmen who have been left outside the customs have slowly become resistant. ”
"The hundreds of thousands of people who have just immigrated to Guanwai, under the influence of these merchants, are also a little restless, and they begin to disobey local management, wanting to return to Guannai, worrying that we will not be able to stop the Japanese, the imperial court, and the joint attack of the Beiyang Army will plunge Guanwai into war."
"What about the rest of the people?" Yang Xingguo's face didn't change much, but he asked rhetorically with a calm face.
"It's not optimistic either!" Sun Liechen replied with an embarrassed face after thinking about it.
"Because we had enough supplies in store some time ago, even though the border was blocked, people's lives were not greatly affected. In addition, most of these people still believe in us, after all, we have defeated the Japanese army and the imperial court more than once. ”
"However, this situation will certainly not last long. Although we have a lot of supplies in stock, the three eastern provinces have increased by tens of millions of immigrants at once, and we are also under great pressure. At the current rate of consumption, many material reserves can only last for another month. Although there is no problem with the most basic food, in a month's time, the development of the three northeastern provinces will definitely be affected. ”
Yang Xingguo nodded in agreement with what Sun Liechen said, and then continued to ask, "What do you think?" ”
"The key to breaking the game lies in the Japanese." Sun Liechen replied in the affirmative.
"Whether it is the imperial court or the Beiyang Army, a large part of the reason why they dare to jump out and disobey us is that they think that we are definitely not the opponent of the Japanese, as long as the Japanese defeat us, they will take advantage of the situation to enter the three northeastern provinces and take advantage of the fire to rob."
"As long as we defeat the Japanese navy and there is no hope of looting while the fire is fired, the imperial court and the Beiyang Army will definitely lift the blockade immediately, and send people to explain to us why we want to strengthen border inspections, and put all the responsibility on the Japanese."
"After all, neither the imperial court nor the Japanese have the strength to confront us yet."
Sun Liechen's analysis Yang Xingguo agreed, and showed a look full of appreciation. Because compared with Sun Liechen a year ago, not only has there been a great change, but also has a view of the battle situation.
After taking a deep breath, he decided very decisively: "Since this is the case, then we will take the devil navy and break the situation as much as possible." ”
"The devil still has more than 20 warships, and with our current strength, it is definitely impossible to annihilate them all. However, it is still promising to hit hard and repel them. ”
As soon as he decided to speak, Yang Xingguo shifted his gaze to Chen Jiliang, who looked thoughtful next to him.
Chen Jiliang's eyes lit up, and a pair of eyes quickly shot out two rays of scorching light.
Although Yang Xingguo has not yet given an order, from Yang Xingguo's answer just now, Chen Jiliang is sure that the navy has another task, and it is still a big man.
As a result, Chen Jiliang's gaze at Yang Xingguo immediately changed from hot to longing.
"Commander Chen, give me a brief introduction to the current situation of the Japanese Navy!"
"Yes, Dashuai!" Chen Jiliang replied immediately.
"The Japanese army now has 24 large and small warships, including two supply ships. Now the 24 warships are divided into two and are parked off the coast of Yingkou and Dalian, and each detachment includes a supply ship. ”
"Also, in order to avoid being attacked again, each detachment put on a defensive posture, which is very strong. In addition, three warships are dispatched to patrol the surrounding waters every three hours during the day. ”
"Night is no exception, but the cruising warships have turned into small boats, and it is obvious that the devil is afraid of our sneak attack, and he is afraid that he will be destroyed by us with a submarine for no reason."
"In addition, during this time, I sent a few torpedo boats to test the devil fleet, but it turned out that it was discovered before it was five kilometers close to the other party, whether it was day or night, and finally lost a torpedo boat."
"Because you have specifically explained that you can't move the submarine until the critical moment, I didn't send the submarine to test the devil." (To be continued.) )
