Tianjin Port. Japanese naval base.

Tianjin at the end of June is a good season, the temperature is not particularly hot, there is no unbearable heat in midsummer, and there is no coolness in late autumn. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn addition, the Japanese army successfully captured the city of Tianjin yesterday, so the enthusiasm of the Japanese army was high. Just when Ma Zheng was planning how to bomb the port of Tianjin in Guisui, it was very lively here.

In order to welcome several warships belonging to the Sixth Fleet that had arrived from the country to transport supplies, Vice Admiral Takasu Shiro, commander of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, personally hosted a banquet at the Tianjin Port base to entertain Rear Admiral Takeda, the commander of the Sixth Fleet, and other senior officers.

"Takeda-kun, it's a great shame to hear that the group of fools of the Kwantung Army has lost the battle again, and the face of the Great Japanese Empire has been lost by those fools!" Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro said disdainfully.

"Yo Xi, the army guys are so disappointed that His Majesty the Emperor can't even wipe out a group of Shina farmers with weapons in so many troops, it's really a shame, if all those supplies of the army were allocated to our navy, the war situation in Shina would have been settled long ago." Major General Takeda responded.

The contradictions between the Japanese army and navy have long been an open secret, and even the Japanese emperor turned a blind eye to them.

Throughout history, competition between armies and navies has existed in almost every country, often fiercely.

But the level of mutual hatred between the Japanese navy and army is truly unparalleled, a long-standing contradiction that can be traced back to bloody territorial battles between clans.

During the Meiji Restoration, when the modern Japanese army and navy were established, some clans sent their sons into one branch of the military, while their long-standing rivals must have joined the other. In this way, the hostility between them continued, and even developed into an openly enemy relationship.

"Not to mention that group of fools, two years ago, the North China Dispatch Army and the Central China Dispatch Army dispatched nearly 300,000 troops, equipped with a large number of aircraft, combat vehicles and heavy artillery, but in the end they were beaten by a group of local troops in China and abandoned their armor. Not long ago, the proud guy of Okamura Ninji also ate a big mouth in North China, and was defeated by the Chinese people, and even the elite 10th Division suffered heavy losses, presumably Yama Prefecture Aritomo and Nogi Noshinori were about to jump out of the grave angrily by them! Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro said with the corners of his mouth raised.

"Hahaha, Your Excellency is really humorous. But those bastards are really speechless, thinking that when we destroyed the China Navy, there were only a few thousand people, but we took the China Navy in a pot, making it no longer powerless. Why is the Army, also a formed unit of the Empire, performing so badly? Major General Takeda said with a smile.

"Takeda-kun, that's not how it compares. The navy of the Shina people is notoriously poor, and after the Sino-Japanese War, the Shina navy has lost its military spirit, and besides, they have been stagnant for more than 40 years, how can they compete with the heroic navy of the Great Japanese Empire? ”

"The army is different, the army actually doesn't have much skill in combat, and it is relatively easy to improve the combat effectiveness of the army! Moreover, in the past few decades, there have been wars in the north and south of the country, and they have become accustomed to war. After a long time, it has really allowed the Chinese army to train a lot of elites, not to mention, the 87th Division of the Central Army of China, the Central Teaching Squadron and the Tax Police Corps are all rare elites! ”

"So although the navy of China is vulnerable, their army is not as weak as the navy. In addition, the Imperial Army is a bunch of stupid guys from top to bottom, and it is not a big deal to be able to fight a battle like this garbage. Takasu Shiro said.

"Your Excellency has a point, although I really don't look down on the people of China, but I have to say that the China Army does have several divisions that are good at fighting. For example, in the 13th year of the Showa era, our fleet was ordered to Qingdao to deliver supplies to the Fifth Division, and at the same time transport the wounded back to China. ”

Then Major General Takeda said: "And the 41st Army of the Sichuan Army, when the Japanese Empire attacked Fuji County, that Wang Mingzhang dared to block the attack of more than 10,000 people of the Imperial Army with only 5,000 people. This army from the mountainous area of China fought a bloody battle with the elite troops of the Imperial Army for four days and four nights, totaling about 108 hours, causing more than 2,000 casualties to the Imperial Japanese Army. ”

"I heard that when the battle was at its most intense, the small city of Teng County could drop more than 30,000 shells a day. The most admirable thing is that no one surrendered to the last man in that army, and its tenacity of fighting will far exceeded my expectations. ”

"Yes, we did underestimate the Chi Na people, they are far stronger and more terrifying than we thought." Takasu Shiro said with emotion.

......

In other words, on Ma Zheng's side, after the battle plan was determined, the aviation brigade fell into a busy preparation, first filling ammunition and fuel from Guisui, and then transferring to Zhangjiakou Airport. Then stay overnight at Zhangjiakou Airport, and then take off from Zhangjiakou Airport the next morning to Tianjin City, which is close at hand.

Originally, Ma Zheng wanted to personally lead the team to participate in the battle, but was stopped by Political Commissar Luo and others. Thinking about it carefully, Ma Zheng also felt that he was impulsive this time, air combat is not a joke, especially in air combat in this era, the mortality rate is too high.

Even if you are familiar with all kinds of fighters, you can't stand the quality of the current aircraft, and the skin shell and wooden skeleton may be beaten down if you don't get it right.

However, in order to command the battle nearby, Ma Zheng still followed the aviation brigade to Zhangjiakou.

At 4 o'clock in the morning on June 29, before dawn, Ma Zheng rushed to Zhangjiakou Airport with a company, and he wanted to see off all the pilots.

At Zhangjiakou Airport, more than 200 pilots lined up in a neat queue, waiting for Ma Zheng's lecture.

"Take a break!"

"Stand upright!"

Looking at the pilots lined up neatly, Ma Zheng's heart was surging, and he said loudly: "Go to Lingyun to kill Yama, and the eagle will raise the sky in the nine heavens!" You are all eagles fighting in the sky, and if you are an eagle, you must have the courage to fight against the wind and rain. I won't say anything else, you just have to fight with confidence, and I'll take you after the victory. If you are injured, I will give you all the best treatment, and if you are disabled, I will raise you for the rest of your life, and if you die in battle, I will personally send you to the martyrs' cemetery, and I will take care of your family, okay, board the plane! ”

After Ma Zheng finished speaking, Wang Zhengyang said decisively: "Board the plane!" ”

As the planes rushed into the sky, Ma Zheng's heart also flew with these pilots.

This is the first time since the formation of the aviation brigade that such a large-scale battle has been carried out, and it is false to say that it is not worried. Although the battle plan is very detailed, the plan is only a plan after all, and the plan can never catch up with the changes. Besides, things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, who can grasp it accurately.

On the plane, Wang Zhengyang's face was solemn, and his thoughts were still stuck in the conversation with the commander last night.

After the group arrived in Zhangjiakou last night, the commander specially summoned him and gave him a special task, that is, to blow up and sink the flagship of the Japanese Third Fleet at all costs.

Wang Zhengyang, who was also a member of the Nationalist Air Force and a deputy squadron leader, was well aware of the grievances between the Air Force and the Izumo.

The "Izumo" is an armored cruiser with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons, and belongs to the first type of armored cruiser in the Izumo-class armored cruisers. The ship was built by the British shipyard Armstrong, which fought in World War I and the Russo-Japanese War, and served as the emperor's ship.

After the Lugou Bridge Incident, it served as the naval flagship in Japan's war of aggression against China. The Izumo participated in many battles in the war against China, and in the Battle of Jiangyin, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese naval fleet, Admiral Hasegawa Kiyoshi, sat on the Izumo and commanded the famous "Battle of Jiangyin", sinking the first and second fleets of the Chinese Navy.

Before and after the August 13 Songhu War, the flagship of the "Izumo" violently bombarded the positions of the Chinese defenders with artillery to cover the Japanese attack. It also bombarded factories, schools, and houses in Shanghai, causing huge losses to the lives and property of Chinese.
