Of course, there is no kamikaze special attack team composed of fanatical militarist fighters in this time and space, because the current rì is a Soviet state, and there are no reactionary elements such as militarist fighters, only loyal GC fighters. Therefore, the latest code name of the "special attack force" that was regarded as a killer feature by the Red Navy Combined Fleet was the "Red Army Special Attack Team". Moreover, this "Red Army Special Attack Team" is not something that anyone can join casually!

It is said that only the most loyal fighters armed with Marxist Trotskyism and Takeda Heng Thought, after repeated tests by the Party organizations and with the personal approval of Comrade Yasuo Yasuda, political commissar of the Combined Fleet, can become a glorious Red Army special attacker, driving a "special attack aircraft" converted from a Type 93 carrier-based fighter to ram imperialist warships or other worthy targets. It is an incomparably glorious honor that the "Red Army Warriors" who flew a suicide plane to attack the locks of the Panama Canal a few months ago were so carefully selected that they will live forever in the hearts of the proletarians of the world!

Probably because the threshold for becoming a warrior of the Red Army is too high, the scale of the Red Army special attack team cannot be compared with the historical kamikaze special attack team at all, so it cannot launch suicide attacks on the American fleet as frequently as in history, and can only be used as the last killer weapon at the most critical moment. In the Fourth Battle of Hawaii, Nagumo Tadashi, then commander of the Air Fleet, had only 36 brave and fearless Red Flag warriors in his hands, but when he raided the US aircraft carrier formation, he was beaten by F4U, which outnumbered them, and finally none of the planes successfully approached the US aircraft carrier.

Therefore, after the end of the Fourth Battle of Hawaii, Yamamoto 56 sent a report to Takeda Heng, hoping that the mobilization could be increased and the threshold could be appropriately lowered, so that a large-scale Red Army special attack team could be formed as much as possible, making it the most powerful guarantee for defending the liberation of the Australian people by the Yamamoto regime. At the same time, the Takeda "Lord" also issued the highest directive, calling on the vast number of Red Army soldiers and young students to learn from the Red Army warriors, make up their minds, not be afraid of sacrifice, defend the motherland, and liberate all mankind......

However, until the main force of the Red Navy Combined Fleet left the Truk Islands to launch the "Red Flag No. 1 Operation" aimed at capturing Moresby, the size of the Red Army Special Attack Team was still pitifully small, and all the Red Army warriors together were only 122 people. After completing all the relevant training, less than 60 people can be put into combat.

Looking at the list of Red Flag Warriors sent by Nagumo Tada, Yamamoto Fifty-six couldn't help frowning, turned his head and asked Yasuo Yasuda, who was sitting on a chair next to him: "Yasuda-kun, hasn't the Lord already instructed to lower the requirements...... Why are there only more than 100 Red Army warriors? ”

Because of the special nature of the Red Army warriors, the recruitment work has always been the direct responsibility of the GCD, and the Red Navy is only responsible for training and use.

Yasuo Yasuda now looks very bad, he looks like he has no jīng to look good, his face is pale, it's not that he is sick, but he is seasick. He, as a member of the United Fleet Political Committee, is really a bitter and dangerous errand. Since the headquarters of the Combined Fleet has always been located on the flagship battlecruiser Akagi, he, a political commissar, has no choice but to work on the ship, how can he, a landlubber, a Shandong man, not get seasick? And in addition to the suffering of seasickness, I often have to go to the front line, which is really dangerous and without oil and water. When I was feeling depressed while seasick, I listened to Commander Yamamoto's question. He glanced at Yamamoto and Nagumo weakly, and said lightly: "It's not a good errand to hit a warship with a plane full of bombs, even if there are no requirements, I haven't seen how many people have signed up!" ”

"No one signed up? How so? It's not ......" Yamamoto muttered in a low voice, thinking that Yasuda's words still made some sense. Isn't the Red Army warrior just a dead errand destined to go and never return? If it is the time when the emperor is in charge, he can still go to the Yasukuni Shrine to become a god after he dies, although I don't know if it is true or not, there is a jīng god sustenance. And now it is the government of the "rì" GCD without immortals, and after death, it is a cup of loess, and it is normal to find no one to do this kind of mortal errand. As for what the Red Flag newspaper said about how many people enthusiastically signed up to die, I am afraid that it cannot be taken seriously.

Yasuda also complained there: "The instructors and instructors in the air force have been mobilizing during this time, but those comrades who fly planes don't eat this at all." Most of them were very modest, saying that their ideological consciousness could not meet the standards of the Red Army warriors, and that they would step up their efforts to study Takeda's thinking in the future and strive to keep up with the Red Banner warriors. ”

Tsukahara 243, who was studying the nautical chart on the side, took over the topic and said, "Yasuda-kun, how can you mobilize among the pilots?" The pilots of the Red Navy were all party members and officers, what did they not know? What haven't you seen? How can you believe in the nonsense that liberates all mankind? If you change to a middle school student, it's probably better to deceive a little. ”

Hearing Tsukahara's words, Yasuo Yasuda didn't answer, just smiled bitterly and shook his head, if this kind of thing had been said ten years ago, Tsukahara's Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet would have come to an end. But now...... Party discipline is really relaxed.

Speaking of which, the discipline of this rìg began to gradually deteriorate from 1924 when it adopted a policy of concessions to the "anti-** samurai". Later, in order to replace Katayama's unprincipled alliance with the old officer group, Takeda Heng gave a large number of privileges to the cadres and officers of the Red Army. Although the GCD cadres in the Soviet Union and India also had a lot of privileges, they were absolutely nothing compared to the RÌG cadres. Later, in order to solve the economic difficulties, Rìg began to carry out economic reforms, first in Yokohama and Osaka, and then in the NKVD led by Yasuda, and openly sold their own girls to China and Nanyang! After seizing the Nanyang Islands, they directly retained the capitalist system in Nanyang, turning them into a treasure of feng shui where the Red Army cadres and the Red Army cadres got rich first, and in the second half of last year, they simply carried out "economic reforms" in the local area and restored the evil system. In the end, some middle- and high-level cadres of the Red Army sent their families to the Great China Federation in order to serve the party and the people without worries.

And unlike the Soviet GCD and the Indian GCD, which engaged in political movements and internal purges in three days, since Takeda Heng came to power, there has been basically a harmonious atmosphere inside, and there has never been a large-scale political movement (all of which are the sequelae of the anti-** samurai resisting suppression), even when he defeated Nosaka Sanzo last time, he did not engage in Zhulian. Under this kind of atmosphere of "getting rich first" and harmony, the current rìg is no longer a progressive party or a fighting party, so it is completely normal that not many Red Army warriors are mobilized.

"Commander, an urgent telegram from the Batavia base."

The voice of the fleet's communications staff officer broke the silence inside the Akagi operational command center.

"Batavia base?" Yamamoto raised his eyebrows, "Found the American fleet?" ”

"Report of the Type 96 land attack aircraft, the discovery of the main US fleet 300 nautical miles south of the island of Java! There were at least 10 battleships with a speed of 15 knots and a direction due west. ”

"10 battleships...... Should it be the main force of the 18th US Task Force? Did you spot an American aircraft carrier? ”

The staff officer shook his head: "The airports in Banda Aceh, Padang, Bengkulu and other places have sent a large number of reconnaissance planes to search the nearby sea areas, but nothing has been found, but it is ...... On the contrary, it was discovered that a formation of capital ships of the [Chinese] country was sailing in the direction of the Strait of Malacca. ”

"China's capital ship formation!"

The atmosphere in the combat command center suddenly became tense, and Yamamoto asked, "How many capital ships are there?" Are there any aircraft carriers? ”

"There were three Cantonese-class battle cruisers, and no aircraft carriers were found."

"Without an aircraft carrier, that's fine."

Yamamoto's eyebrows, which had just been tightened, were sent away. At present, the top brass of the Navy are all aircraft carriers of the Qing Yi sè faction, and they don't take the capital ship too seriously. If several aircraft carriers of the Western Fleet of China were to return to the southern China Sea through the Strait of Malacca, Yamamoto might have realized that the Great War of China was imminent. But just three Cantonese-class battlecruisers with poor firepower are really not in Yamamoto's eyes. The main gun caliber of this kind of battle cruiser was only 280mm, and it could not be used to fight a decisive battle of the fleet at all, and in the Battle of Okinawa in 1932, the six Cantonese class that grabbed the T-shaped position were helpless to one Kaga-class.

"Where are the aircraft carriers of the Chinese people?" Yasuo Yasuda interjected at this point.

"There are five imitation Canglong-class ships in Yangon Port, and the Chinese people call them the 'Yingzheng' class; there are five Zhongshan-class and three Yingzheng-class ships in Zhanjiang Port; and there is also a 10,000-ton aircraft carrier training ship Li Yuan in Panyulong Xué Harbor." The Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet, Tsukahara 243, took the question and replied. Naturally, the aircraft carriers of the Chinese navy are special targets that the intelligence agencies are paying close attention to, and the intelligence departments have to verify the information on the specific locations of these aircraft carriers every three days.

What Tsukahara is reporting now is the specific location of the 14 Chinese aircraft carriers two days ago, all of which are anchored in the home ports of the South and Western Fleets, and they have been there for a long time, and they have not moved their nests at all, but only occasionally go to sea for training.

"It doesn't matter if the aircraft carrier of the Chinese people doesn't move." Yamamoto breathed a sigh of relief: "How far is it from Labaoer now?" ”

"There are about 300 nautical miles to go, and at the current course and speed, the fleet will burst into the Coral Sea from between the islands of New Ireland and Bougainville in about 12 hours."

"It's 5:15 p.m. on January 20, 1936." Yamamoto raised his wrist and looked at the time. "Tomorrow at 3 a.m. to prepare for air strikes, at 3:30 a.m. the motherships began to release their planes to carry out two bō air strikes on the Anglo-American air bases on the islands of Rabaul, Tulagi, Florida, Guadalcanal! Then the main force of the entire Combined Fleet broke through into the Coral Sea and marched towards Port Moresby and Australia! ”

"Hay!"

……

At the same time, 300 nautical miles off the coast directly south of the island of Java, the American battleship USS West Virginia.

Lieutenant General Spruance looked up at a twin-engine plane with golden sun markings on its wings in the sky. This should be a Type 96 land medium-range attack plane, and the intelligence says that this plane has the longest range and the largest bomb load among the fighters in service. According to the two Nakajima 'Golden Sun' 3 engines (nominal 790 horsepower) designed and manufactured by the company, the cruising range is up to 4,000 kilometers, and an 800-kilogram Type 93 spear torpedo can be hung to attack targets at a distance of 1,500 kilometers! However, this Type 96 land attack should not be here to attack, it flies at an altitude of at least more than 7,000 meters, and no matter what is thrown down from this height, there is no threat to the US fleet on the sea.

"Admiral, I heard an unidentified electronic signal, it should be the plane that is sending a telegram." Task Force Chief of Staff William. Commodore Smith walked up to Spruance: "My own aircraft carrier should be attracted to us, Palembang is their biggest oil field!" ”

"It should be, if they don't come, I'll bomb the Palembang oil field into ruins!" Spruance withdrew his gaze from the sky: "Where are the 18.5th Carrier Group and the 18.4th Destroyer Group and the 17.2nd Cruiser Group?" ”

"Just past the Andaman Sea, about 180 nautical miles west of Sumatra, if Rì himself used the Type 96 land attack to conduct reconnaissance, he should have discovered them quickly."

See William. Brigadier General Smith gave a worried expression, and Spruance shook his head: "Don't worry, I won't attack, 300 nautical miles is too far for their dive bombers and fighters." He paused, and then asked, "Is Rear Admiral Fletcher still satisfied with the J-4E Dragon Eagle of the Chinese people?" Will these aircraft be able to carry out air strikes against the Fleet? ”

"Okay, Rear Admiral Fletcher's telegram said that the plane smelled of a very unpleasant German."

"Is that supposed to be a compliment?"

"I think so" Smith smiled and said, "The people in the Admiralty also think that the J-4 EXyng of the Chinese can be excellent, and a 1600 hp engine is not our R-2800, but it can make do." It's just that the Chinese people have given this fighter a bit more missions, which is both a fighter and a dive bomber, and it also has to work part-time as a reconnaissance plane...... An aircraft carrier is above this kind of aircraft to fight the world, and this tactic is really tǐng has a special sè. However, Rear Admiral Fletcher still thinks that 190 J-4E Dragon Eagles feel that they can be worth 500 Type 93 fighters of the Devil's Devil, and if they are hung with bombs, they will definitely be stronger than 300 Type 93 shipboard bombers, and the only fly in the ointment is that there is no bombardier on the J-4E Dragon Eagle, so the accuracy of the dive bomb is discounted. ”

"Report, telegram from the Great British Australian Grand Fleet." At this time, the communications officer gave Major General Smith a telegram, and the Major General only glanced at it and exclaimed: "Oh God! The submarines of the British discovered the main force of the Combined Fleet in the Pacific Ocean about 300 nautical miles northeast of the Bismarck Islands! At least a huge formation of hundreds of ships is heading south! Their target should be the Bismarck Islands! ”

"Bismarck Archipelago? How so? Spruance took the telegram and read it carefully, frowned, and said, "It seems that the operation of 'rì] himself to go south to Australia has begun......"

"Lieutenant General, should we return to Port Moresby immediately?"

"Return? Why? Spruance strode to the edge of the chart and stared at it for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Maybe the commander of the Combined Fleet just knew that we were near the island of Java, or maybe they knew that we left Port Moresby before heading south......" He pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head: "But we can't return to Port Moresby anyway, that will only lead the nose to the [rì] himself, and they have at least 10 aircraft carriers, I only have 2, and I can't win the battle if I go back!" It is better to take the opportunity to destroy the Palembang oil field under the control of the people! ”

"But Lieutenant General, what if the Rì himself directly breaks through the Coral Sea and goes around to the south of the island of New Guinea to capture Port Moresby?"

"Hit Port Moresby directly?" Spruance snorted lightly: "Then let them fight, what is there in Port Moresby?" Isn't it just a deep-water port with a few broken docks? If I want to take it, it's a big deal that we will retreat to Jackson Harbour, Sydney. ”

"Lieutenant General, it is likely that Port Moresby will be used as a springboard to Australia in the south!"

"South to Australia? Hehe, haha......"

Spruance looked up and laughed as if he had heard a big joke: "I really don't know how these orientals have their brains?" The world war has long been decided to this point, and they still want to go south to seize Australia! Who will allow it? China, Germany or the United States? With the strength of "rì" himself, I am afraid that it is difficult to even protect himself...... Now that the whole world knows that the goal of the Chinese people is to unify Greater East Asia, I believe that the defense forces of the Federation of Great China are now preparing to attack the country, and this gang of people is actually whimsical and ready to invade Australia, which is really funny to the extreme! ”

As he spoke, he looked up at the clock hanging on the bulkhead: "It's 5:30 p.m. on January 20, 1936, Sydney time, and now head east at full speed, and strive to meet with the 18.5th Carrier Group, the 18.4th Destroyer Group, and the 17.2nd Cruiser Group in the early hours of tomorrow morning." Tomorrow morning we will bomb the Palembang oil field and burn the flames of war to the Houhuā Garden of the Devils! (To be continued!)
