Chapter 2229 Thunder and lightning attack

Near the Willis Islands in the middle of the Coral Sea. 78 High Speed Update .//

In the early morning of 2 February, the Japanese Navy's First Air Fleet, which had just joined up with the southbound detachment of Port Moresby, was assembling in this sea area, and Admiral Tabun Yamaguchi, who was preparing to rest, was very surprised to receive the news from the intelligence department of the Combined Fleet Command that the Anjia Navy was heading north.

Unable to guess the true intentions of the Anjia Navy heading north, Yamaguchi immediately called the Combined Fleet Command to ask if there was a large fleet trailing behind the rampaging Anjia Navy fleet.

Yamamoto Isoroku personally telegraphed: "Yamaguchi-kun, from beginning to end, the number of South China naval fleets cruising in the southern waters of the Coral Sea has not changed, and so far it has been ascertained that the enemy fleet has 12 aircraft carriers of various types, more than 50 escort ships, and more than 20 transport and supply ships. ”

"Around this fleet, there are a large number of reconnaissance ships, submarines, and spy ships sent by our imperial navy, in addition to water reconnaissance planes and land-based reconnaissance planes to conduct reconnaissance continuously, and every move of the enemy navy fleet is under our control, please rest assured that you will face the battle."

Yamaguchi Tashi received the reply, still full of doubts, left the room and came to the war room, walked to the large Coral Sea chart under the surprised gaze of many staff officers, looked at it for a long time, and knew what the quality of its ships was, but in terms of scale, it was already the largest fleet we have faced since the start of the war, no wonder the people of South China have the confidence to take the initiative to seek our side for a strategic decisive battle! ”

Speaking of this, he turned to Rear Admiral Tsuyoshi Kawashima, the chief of staff who came to his side: "Kawashima-kun, do you think we should take the initiative to attack now, or wait for the convergence with the Fifth Air Fleet before acting?" ”

Kawashima Tsuyoshi did not make a direct suggestion, but analyzed the current situation: "Our fleet includes six main aircraft carriers, including Shinano, Ryusho, Soryu, Iwaki, Norikura, and Jiaolong, as well as six light aircraft carriers, such as Snow Owl, Eagle Owl, Eagle Owl, Owl, Ghost Owl, and Demon Owl, and has 56 escort ships, including light and heavy cruisers and destroyers in China, and its strength is basically equal to that of its opponents. But taking into account the fact that our aviation has been in a hundred battles, it should be possible to gain the upper hand in air combat if there are no major surprises. However, there are too many accidental factors in the decisive battle on the sea, and in order to be foolproof, I think it is better to wait until the arrival of the Fifth Air Fleet. ”

The water and land-based reconnaissance planes sent by the Japanese army never entered the visual range of the naval fleet of the Anjia Army, and were driven away by destroyers and ordinary propeller carrier-based fighters every time they were on the periphery of the fleet. The Japanese scouts looked at it from a distance and could not distinguish the difference between an oblique flight deck aircraft carrier and a straight-through aircraft carrier.

Moreover, for the sake of secrecy, the Anjia Navy has not used jet carrier-based fighters, so the Japanese Navy is still full of blind self-confidence.

No, the captain of the aircraft carrier "Shinano", Katsukiyo Shinoda Osa, was extremely dissatisfied and said that he was majestic? The navy is a high-tech military with tradition and inheritance, and the navy of the Chinese people lost its most precious military soul as early as the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, and there is no inheritance! ”

"The existence of the South China Navy is only seven or eight years old, even if it is with the help of the French and frantically building ships, but the lack of talent can catch up in a few years? I think that the First Fleet, which is the absolute main force of the Combined Fleet of the Great Japanese Empire, should not hesitate to go south and have a decisive battle with the main force of the Shina Navy, and defeat them in front of them in a dignified manner, so that they can understand that not everyone can play the navy! ”

Yamaguchi was noncommittal, and asked the intelligence staff officer Kobayashi Dingdao Daisa: "Kobayashi-kun, where is the Fifth Air Fleet moving now?" ”

Kobayashi shook his head and said time, although the order of the base camp has been issued, it will take at least a month to wait until it makes peace with us, and by that time, the navy in South China has already gone to nowhere to go! ”

"Where is Joshima-kun's Second Air Fleet now?" Yamaguchi asked again.

"The main force of the Second Air Fleet is still in the port of Pago Pago, and it is expected to leave for the port of Suva tomorrow morning!" Kobayashi picked up the thick draft of the telegram and flipped through it, and it took a long time to find the relevant information.

"If it weren't for the fact that Nagano-kun was killed in the shameless air raid of the Shina people, and the reorganization of the base camp and the military command department were delayed for too much time, how could we be in today's predicament?" Kawashima just complained, and the others shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

It turned out that the Minister of Military Command, Nagano Shushen, died in the bombing of Tokyo, which caused the Japanese Navy to be leaderless for a while.

Hirohito originally wanted Yamamoto Isoroku to be the head of the Military Command Department, but Yamamoto 56 refused to accept it and recommended his old boss Mitsumasa Yonechi to take over as the head of the Military Command Department.

Minai has always been a representative of the main peace faction, and he was not liked by Hirohito, so the base camp bypassed Yamamoto Isoroku and chose another commander in chief.

After a rigorous selection process, the Council of Ministers finally confirmed that the Emperor would select one of four active and retired admirals, including Umi Minister and Shiro Kawako, Commander of Suga Town Guard, Yoshida Zengo, Speaker of the Diet Kantaro Suzuki, and former Minister of the Interior Nobumasa Sueji.

After much deliberation, Hirohito decided earlier this month that Shiro Kagawa would be the head of the Military Command Department, and Zengo Yoshida would be the prime minister.

During this period, although Yamamoto Isoroku repeatedly tried to mobilize various air fleets to deal with the aggressive offensive of the Anjia Navy, the base camp was in chaos, and there was no order from the Military Command Department, so everything could not be implemented, and this bad state continued until the Anjia Navy went north, but it was obviously too late.

Yamaguchi closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and said categorically that it was obviously too late. We can follow the east coast of Australia, go south to meet the battle, find out the true strength of the opponent, if it is vulnerable, we will win the battle, if the opponent is large, we can also retreat safely under the cover of land-based fighters! ”

"That's great!"

Kawashima Tsuyoshi nodded approvingly: "Before we find out the true intentions of the South China Navy, this is a safe plan!" ”

......

On the evening of the 4th.

In the south-central part of the Coral Sea, a Xia-class nuclear submarine with an underwater displacement of 5,750 tons and a designation 093A is quietly driving below sea level.

Since there is no need to surface to recharge, the "Xia" class nuclear submarine can sail under sea level for months on end, with extremely high concealment. In order to ensure the safety of the main task force, two "Xia"-class nuclear submarines with an underwater speed of up to 35 knots are on guard duty at a distance of two to three hundred nautical miles in front and two to three hundred nautical miles behind the fleet.

"Report!"

The radar operator stood up and spotted the Japanese fleet on the road to Colonel Gao Wenyu, who was observing the sea situation through the periscope! Judging by the returned radar signals, the size of the Japanese fleet is not small! ”

When Gao Wenyu heard this, he hurriedly came to the electronic display screen and found that the screen was already covered with dense red dots. Gao Wenyu immediately ordered: "First give a warning to the fleet, and then we will move northeast, avoid the main route of the Japanese fleet, and observe the details of the Japanese fleet from the side." ”

"Yes!"

More than three hours later, the Japanese fleet appeared, and by this time it was already completely dark.

After repeated identification by radar and sonar, Gao Wenyu quietly used infrared periscopes to carefully observe, and finally confirmed that this was the most powerful First Air Fleet in the Japanese air fleet.

"Quickly raise the buoy antenna and report to the fleet!"

Gao Wenyu calmly gave the order, waited until the news came out, and the submarine sank decisively, and waited for two hours before the Japanese fleet completely transited, and then floated up and fell far behind the ass of the Japanese fleet.

The weapons system of the "Xia" class nuclear submarine includes the "Falcon" I anti-ship missile, the quadruple "Houyi" air defense missile launch tower, and six 650mm heavy torpedo tubes.

......

"I've finally caught a big fish!"

After receiving the report of the 093A boat, Admiral Li Weiqing, commander of the Pacific Fleet of the Anjia Navy, breathed a sigh of relief, saying that we are all going around in circles in the Coral Sea at any time, and we are worried that the Japanese will discover the true face of our fleet at any time. ”

"Well, now the Japanese Navy has finally moved! Judging from yesterday's satellite reconnaissance, the Japanese fleet should have passed through that sea area at this time! Tsk, six main aircraft carriers, six light aircraft carriers, the cost of small Japan this time is not small! ”

Colonel An Mingyang, the combat staff officer of the fleet, said with a smile What a real threat! Our six heavy aircraft carriers are all loaded with F3-A "Thunderbolt" jet carrier-based fighters, and we are not afraid of more fighters. The light and heavy cruisers escorting the ship have been modernized, some of the main and secondary guns have been canceled, and anti-air and anti-sea missiles have been added, which is simply an asymmetrical battle! ”

Li Weiqing nodded cautiously, don't be careless! ”

Rear Admiral Niu Han, former commander of the Fourth Task Force and current chief of staff of the fleet, leaned in front of the chart to observe carefully, and then raised his wrist to look at his watch: "If the course and speed of the Japanese fleet remain the same, we will be met at about ten o'clock tomorrow morning!" ”

"That's right!"

Li Weiqing slammed his hand on the table in front of him to rest, and the carrier-based plane set off at five o'clock tomorrow morning to take the initiative to meet the Japanese fleet! ”

"Yes!"

......

There was no word all night, and at four o'clock in the morning, the 12 aircraft carriers of the main task force of the Pacific Fleet of the Anjia Navy all sounded a sharp whistle, and then the horns of the pilot's cabin heard the command of the commanders of each squadron: "Pilots, please pay attention, from now on, enter combat readiness, and the first wave of fighters will take off in an hour...... Repeat ......"

The pilots who woke up from their sleep quickly turned over and got out of bed one by one, folded the quilt as quickly as possible, dressed neatly, and hurried to the aircraft carrier pilots' cafeteria, where they completed the assembly and waited for the task to be issued, and sorted out their personal hygiene and meals in turn according to the order of their mission.

At 4:50, the first pilots on the mission had breakfast and rushed to the flight deck.

Ten minutes later, one after another F3-A "Thunderbolt" jet carrier-based fighters ejected and took off, formed a formation in the air, and flew toward the northern sky.

Behind this batch of jet carrier-based fighters, propeller fighters, bombers and torpedo crews formed a second wave of attack echelon.
