Chapter 1048: Hideki Tojo's Tremendous Pressure (Ask for Subscription!) )
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, something happened...... "Less than a minute after the bombing of the Second Brigade of the Navy ended, a staff officer in the Japanese General Staff directly rushed into the temporary office of Hideki Tojo at the General Staff Headquarters....
"Found the Chinese Expeditionary Force fleet?" This is Hideki Tojo's first reaction after seeing the staff officer....
However, what disappointed him was the gaze that he expected from him. The staff officer standing in front of him directly shook his head in denial. Then, with a look of embarrassment, he said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister....it is an urgent telegram from the Yokosu Port Military Airport....There is an accident at the military airport...."
"Nani, Yokosu Port Military Airport....Yaga, impossible, absolutely impossible... In order to ensure the safety of hundreds of attack aircraft, I am in . Around the entire military airfield, a field unit of an infantry wing is fully deployed, and it is absolutely impossible for an accident to happen? "Hideki Tojo, who has full confidence in his own deployment, is like hearing a big joke, and directly denies it with a firm face....
But then think about who you are and where you are now. No matter how bold the staff officer in front of him is, it is impossible to make fun of himself about these things. Hideki Tojo's face suddenly turned pale, and he no longer had the slightest suspicion about the staff officer in front of him, and asked with a look of surprise: "Say, what's going on, what's going on at the military airport..."
"Hayi...."
Seeing Hideki Tojo's eyes that could almost kill, the staff officer didn't dare to slack off, and quickly replied.
"A telegram has just been sent from the Yokosu Military Port Command. Military airfield twenty minutes ago. Saturated bombing by Chinese bomber groups. So far, the entire airport has been turned into a sea of fire, and even the rescue forces have not been able to go deep into the airport to see the damage..."
As Prime Minister, he faced the Chinese Expeditionary Fleet, which could enter Japan's coastal waters at any time and launch an attack. Hideki Tojo is well aware of the importance of the Yokosu Port military airport. Not to mention the importance of the more than 600 attack planes parked at the airfield to the entire decisive battle, just because of their important strategic position, there must be absolutely no mistakes.
And now, the airfield was attacked, and more than 600 attack planes were directly destroyed before they could go on the expedition. Even more importantly, the destroyed airfields will be unusable for a short time. This means: The entire Tokyo Bay area, including even Tokyo, the capital of Japan, has temporarily lost the only large military airfield that can be used.
In the face of such a huge loss, Hideki Tojo's first thought was the radar base deployed in Miura. He asked directly.
"What about the radar, what is Miura's radar base for? Why was the Chinese bomber group not detected in advance, why was there no early warning in advance, why? They should all be shot directly...""Report to Your Excellency Prime Minister, according to the report of the attacking force, the entire radar base was occupied by unknown forces before the attack by the Chinese Air Force. After our reinforcements dared to go, the entire radar base had been bombed into ruins by the enemy..."
"Conspiracy..."After listening to the brief introduction, Hideki Tojo immediately realized a huge conspiracy. It is slowly attacking itself and the Japanese government in the wind and rain.
After a short period of thought, Hideki Tojo seemed to realize that the target of his opponent, the Chinese Expeditionary Force, was none other than himself, Tokyo, where he was located. So, while shocking his guess, he ordered directly to the staff officer in front of him.
"The Chinese fleet, since the Chinese bombers were able to successfully launch an attack on our Yokosu Port military airfield, it means that they have entered the combat radius of the Imperial Japanese Air Force... Fast. Check it out for me, I want to know the specific location of the Chinese Expeditionary Force right away....""Hayi...."After the 'Beijing' aircraft carrier received the telegram from Wang Chao, everyone in the entire command room couldn't help but let out a burst of cheers. And as the highest decision-maker of the entire expeditionary force. Liu Hua and Zuo Quan have already transferred the battlefield to the huge war room next to the command room....
…,
Because of the various information sent by hundreds of special combat personnel in Japan. The Japanese airfields around Tokyo Bay were clearly marked on the huge map in front of them.
However, looking at the more than a dozen airports, large and small, in addition to the Yokosu Port military airfield, which has become a ruin, is quite the size of the airport, which can take off a large number of fighters. The rest, with the exception of Tokyo Airport in the Japanese capital, are small airports that are not on the table.
Looking at the map in front of him, combined with the commander-in-chief Liu Hua's dizzying combat orders. In Zuo Quan's mind, a perfect huge combat idea immediately appeared, and he couldn't help but sigh at Liu Hua in front of him.
"Commander-in-Chief, you have made such a wonderful move....without the Yokosu Military Port, almost all of the Japanese suicide attack aircraft that we need to guard against are concentrated in the direction of Tokyo. As long as the Japanese army has a limited number of suicide attack planes, with the current strength of the Second Brigade of our Navy, it is fully capable of completely annihilating our fleet before it reaches the skies above our fleet..." Liu Hua nodded noncommittally and said confidently: "This is for sure..." "According to intelligence, the Japanese army has docked more than 600 suicide attack planes at the Yokosu Port military airfield to deal with us. Now these attack aircraft are gone, and even if they are drawn from other airfields, in a short time, they will not be able to be completed. ”
"More importantly, even if the Japanese still had enough suicide attack aircraft, they would not have enough airfields for take-off operations after the loss of the Yokosu Port military airfield. It can be said that the successful bombing of the 2nd Naval Aviation Group at least reduced the pressure on my expeditionary fleet by almost half. ”
"As for the pressure of the other half, with the strength of HNA, I believe that Wang Chao has enough ability to continue to bear it. After all, the attack aircraft used by the Japanese army to launch suicide attacks were fighters and bombers that were completely outdated from this era ...
The battle has come to this point, coupled with the strong confidence on Liu Hua's face. Chief of Staff Zuo Quan no longer had the slightest doubt, directly focused on Liu Hua and asked.
"Commander-in-Chief, in that case, then let's go next..."
"At the moment, there are two things that need to be done." After thinking about it, Liu Hua said with an affirmative face.
"First, after the return of Hainan Airlines, the ground crew must immediately prepare the requirements for the fleet to take off again."
"Second, if nothing else, after the successful bombing of the Yokosu Port military airfield, our expeditionary fleet will be completely exposed to the Japanese radar. Therefore, while the fleet is moving at full speed, all shipborne radars must be turned on in all directions to reconnoiter all airspace within a hundred kilometers around the fleet. As soon as a group of Japanese suicide attack aircraft is discovered, an early warning will be given..."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."
The Japanese General Staff Headquarters in Tokyo, since receiving the news of the bombing of the Yokosu military airfield, Hideki Tojo's frowning brow has never let go. A pair of eyes, which never left the combat map on the wall, waited for the arrival of the deputy chief of staff.
While he was anxiously waiting, the slightly panicked figure of the deputy chief of staff finally appeared behind him. Before he could open his mouth to ask, the deputy chief of staff said directly: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, it has been found..."
"The Chinese Expeditionary Force fleet is less than 200 kilometers away from the mouth of our Tokyo Bay. At the same time, the target of the voyage of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which did not surprise you, was none other than my Tokyo Bay ...."
"Cunning Chinese...."
The inner conjecture became a reality, and Hideki Tojo's face was immediately shrouded in a thick and solemn look. Without looking back, he directly opened his mouth and asked: "Deputy Chief of Staff, how many suicide attack planes do we have left around the entire Tokyo Bay...."
…,
After learning of the specific targets of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the deputy chief of staff quickly learned about the situation of troops around Tokyo Bay in order to deal with the unexpected needs. Faced with Hideki Tojo's question, he didn't think about it, and replied directly.
"Less than two hundred, and all of them are concentrated at the Tokyo airport outside the city?"
"What about the infantry?" Hideki Tojo's frown deepened, and he continued to ask rhetorically....
"Except for a small number of local troops, there is only one Guards Division left, with a total of 40,000 elites...."
How could the 40,000 elite Japanese troops, and less than 200 suicide attack planes, be able to hold back the huge formation of the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the hundreds of thousands of elites of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. As long as a person who understands, it is clear that this is tantamount to using the mantis arm as a car, which is tantamount to sending him to death.
While stunned, Hideki Tojo also knew that now was the real life-and-death juncture for Japan. If one is not good, Japan will be completely destroyed in its own hands. Without the slightest hesitation, he directly opened his mouth and gave the order.
"Order, the group of suicide attack planes located in the Tokyo airport will take off immediately and launch an attack on the Chinese Expeditionary Force fleet according to the predetermined plan..." "Order, the group of suicide attack planes closest to the Tokyo Bay will immediately transfer to the Tokyo airport, and when a group of planes comes, a group of planes will take off, and the living forces of the Chinese Expeditionary Force will be wiped out as much as possible..." "Third, all units in the Bay of Tonkin, including the police force, should be ordered to enter the coastal defense line and make preparations for anti-landing combat..." "Order the two combat divisions and regiments that will go deep into the interior to suppress bandits, no matter what the reason, at all costs, quickly return to the reinforcements and defend the city of Tokyo..."
In the face of the great pressure of the Chinese expeditionary force and the possibility of Japan's destruction at any time. Hideki Tojo, who had just finished giving the order, sat directly on the stool behind him as if he had exhausted his last bit of strength, and fell into deep thought.
