Chapter 504: Angry Chen Shao
The attack fleet with the Datang aircraft carrier as the core is cleaving the waves on the ocean, and the three First Emperor-class aircraft carriers next to it follow the Datang to the left and right, surrounded by a full five circles of air defense and defense, and four of the most advanced Zhou-class submarines under water to protect the attack fleet underwater.
The three aircraft carriers are surrounded by four of the latest provincial air defense cruisers, which belong to the second circle of the fleet, and the third circle is also air defense cruisers, but there are six, the three aircraft carriers in the hexagonal arch are guarded, and the fourth circle agrees to be six air defense cruisers, which are inlaid like pearls on the periphery of the third circle, which are also mixed with six destroyers. The defensive network of the fifth circle was composed entirely of destroyers, and a full eighteen destroyers were constantly hovering around the periphery of the fleet formation.
Sandwiched between these defensive rings are three integrated supply ships, surrounding air defense cruisers and destroyers, and underwater submarines, providing integrated protection for the six huge warships inside, integrating sea and air protection. Underwater air defense nets, underwater sonar detection and submarines, forming three-dimensional protection.
Zhang Yun, commander of the Chinese Attack Fleet, got up early, because the attack fleet at this time was not far from the Mariana Islands. As the first attack fleet before the landing battle, the mission performed by this fleet can be clearly identified from the name. Attacking the fleet, in fact, is equivalent to the vanguard force, opening up a safe passage for the subsequent troops. The assault fleet is no exception, except that they are now opening a passage not for the Navy, but for the Marines.
The order given by the Pacific Theater Command to the attacking fleet was simple, in three days. Clear the island of visible Japanese targets and destroy the Japanese airfield on the Mariana Islands. Originally, the attack fleet also had a squadron of battleships, but the operation of attacking the Mariana Islands did not have much room for battleships in the first three days. The battleship detachment and the remaining remnants of the attack fleet, which were responsible for the escort of the amphibious landing fleet and the logistics supply fleet in the later stage, were still in the Philippines at the moment and did not follow.
Zhang Yun graduated from the first phase of the China Military Academy, majored in the Navy, and participated in the advanced courses organized by the Naval Military Academy for many times. Among the first batch of more than 200 graduates, they belong to relatively outstanding students. He grew up in a small fishing village by Fangchenggang since he was a child. I also studied private school for a few years. coincided with the enrollment of the military academy, so he did not hesitate to put down the fishing boat handed down from his ancestors and join the military school.
After more than ten years of ups and downs, he has witnessed the growth of the Chinese Navy step by step. He also started from a small ensign. Now it has become the commander of a large fleet. Become an imperial lieutenant general praised by the neighboring towns of his hometown. He is known as a great general who came out of a fishing village.
Like those cadets who graduated from military academies in the same period, they are the backbone of the National Defense Forces at all levels, leading the Chinese National Defense Forces to the world. Some of them were staff officers of the Imperial General Staff. Some are the tactical tactics of the Imperial War Department, and some are the generals of one side. Like Du Yuming and Liao Yaoxiang in the Southeast Asian Theater, and Zhang Yun are old classmates of the same class. At the end of every year, the class reunion is held in a place where the stars shine every time. From generals to major generals, none of the graduates of the first class are less than major generals, most of them are major generals and lieutenant generals, and the best ones are already generals.
Every time Zhang Yun sees a newly graduated naval cadet join his fleet, how many times does he evoke the deep memory of his more than ten years of naval career in his heart.
The sound of clanging footsteps woke Zhang Yun up, and Lin Kuizhang, the deputy commander of the fleet, ran out of the spiral ladder with a hurried face, holding a piece of paper that was a little red in his hand.
"Commander, there is a level 1 red alert from the AWACS aircraft, and there are more than a thousand enemy planes rushing towards us." Liu Kuizhang's voice was a little hurried, all thanks to this news.
"What!" hurriedly took the telegram, and when he read the content of the telegram, it was undeniable that Zhang Yun himself was taken aback. Such news came too suddenly and unexpectedly, he did not expect that there would be so many enemies in this sea area.
Zhang Yun, like many admirals, the decision-makers in the Wehrmacht system believed that Japan's combined fleet would definitely avoid China's edge far away and run to the depths of the Pacific Ocean to catch China in hiding. However, Japan's move went the opposite way, and it really caught China off guard.
There are Japanese air forces on the Mariana Islands, and this Zhang Yun is also clear, but such a number is something he has never imagined. directly subverted his image of the Japanese Navy, not just him, but everyone.
"Order the entire attacking fleet to be left with full rudder and should go in the direction from which enemy aircraft are coming. The ships were to carry out air defense in formation according to the last set of defense plans, and all patrol destroyers were recalled to form a six-layer anti-aircraft fire network. Submarine forces were ordered to be on high alert for Japanese submarines and to protect the underwater safety of the fleet. Zhang Yun did not hesitate at all, and ran directly back to the fleet command center of the Datang, that is, the highest level of the aircraft carrier island. As soon as he returned to his position, he immediately gave the order: "Attention of the whole fleet, sound the first level of red alert." At the same time, the support of land-based fighters was requested from the command center of the Ministry of Defense. ”
White clouds, the morning sun, blue waves, and the terrible sirens sounded suddenly. The officers and men of the navy, both on the day and night shifts, picked up their belongings in the terrible sound of the sirens and rushed to their combat positions under the red signal lights flashing everywhere in the ship. At the moment, they did not pay attention to why the signal of the highest alert sounded, whether it was a drill or not, it had become an instinct for them to quickly reach their combat position. This is a habit they have formed after more than ten years of training. Because of the sudden naval battle, every second is a matter of life and death.
The red signal light kept sounding on every warship of the attack fleet, and the red light was still shining inside the command center. Zhang Yun's mood calmed down at the moment, and he himself knew that only by facing it calmly could he get out of the predicament as much as possible.
"Two hundred nautical miles, which means half an hour." Muttering to himself, Zhang Yun directly pulled the microphone in front of the commander's seat and said in the alarm:
"Attention officers and men of the whole fleet, my Zhang Yun, according to the intelligence detected by the early warning aircraft, a large group of enemy planes is rushing towards us at this moment, and we are still half an hour away. This is the most dangerous moment we have faced since the beginning of the war. We have no follow-up support for a short time, and there is no way out. But. ”
Speaking of the two words, Zhang Yun's voice suddenly rose up, and he said solemnly: "We have the most advanced warships in the world, the most complete air defense system, and the best soldiers. I firmly believe that as long as we can unite as one, we can bring out the best in training and drills. Even if the enemy planes try to destroy us, they will have to pay an absolutely terrible price.
We just need to hold on for an hour, an hour later. Land-based reinforcements will come to our aid. Remember. In an hour, we are going to the Pacific Ocean, find out the enemy fleet, and completely destroy them.
Chinese Navy. The brave are invincible. Use me every battle. Use me to win. ”
As soon as Zhang Yun's words fell, dozens of warships attacking the fleet erupted in an earth-shattering roar at the same time. All the officers and men of the Navy who are busy. As he did it, he shouted: "Jiaolong goes to sea, sea eagle gallops, the Chinese Navy, the brave are invincible, use me in every battle, use me to win." ”
On the three aircraft carriers, the fighters on combat alert made an emergency landing to replenish fuel and ammunition. As dive bombers descended into the hangar, fighter planes were lifted from the hangar, folded wings were released, and fuel was filled to check electronics and ammunition. After all the carrier-based pilots put on their equipment, they also gathered in the tactical center to understand the specific combat assignments.
The air defense crews of the aircraft carrier have also begun to be ready, and on the Datang, there are four 127-mm anti-aircraft guns, six 88-mm twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns, and eight 35-mm anti-aircraft close defense phalanx devices around the island. A total of 12 35-mm anti-aircraft phalanx units and eight 75-mm twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns are installed around the deck of the aircraft carrier. A powerful network of anti-aircraft fire, which constitutes the last to the air defense network of the aircraft carrier.
Since the Air Defense Phalanx began to equip warships, it has replaced the anti-aircraft machine guns on warships, with powerful firepower and a maximum rate of fire of more than four thousand per minute. With the antiaircraft guns of medium and long range, a three-layer air defense network of medium, long and near will be formed, and the aircraft carrier will do its utmost to defend against dangers from the air.
In the phalanx installation, the thick six-barreled Gatling is flanked by a huge ammunition feeding device and ammunition storage point with a length of more than two meters. Four seats were distributed in the four corners of the phalanx, and each seat was filled by a naval soldier. Aim, feed, calculate, shoot and other four operating hands. To ensure adequate hits, the complex was controlled, much higher than ordinary anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.
Aiming, supplying bombs, and firing are easy to understand, but the work of calculation is very complicated, because he is cooperating with the aircraft carrier and other phalanx on the warships next to it, calculating the most reasonable trajectory, and carrying out firepower networking. In his seat, there is also an empire's most advanced computer, which provides him with the fastest ballistic calculations. The calculator is also the most tired of the four, because he has to keep a cool head and quick thinking, and he also has to quickly inform the aiming of the calculated trajectory.
This is the Chinese Phalanx, and before the era of real software combat system control was brought about, the role of humans was the brain center of these weapons. It directly affects the performance of the weapon. That's why China's navy has gone through so many years and needs a large number of new recruits every year. It is to train a large number of qualified naval officers and men. The officers and men of the navy who can go on board the ship to conduct actual combat are all elites.
Whether it is a phalanx on a cruiser or a phalanx on a destroyer, just like an aircraft carrier, a close defense phalanx requires at least four naval soldiers to operate. Of course, there are differences, the anti-aircraft guns on the aircraft carrier are fixed anti-aircraft guns, while the main guns on the cruisers and destroyers are the same as those of Germany, which can be used both high and flat, and the elevation angle is high enough, whether it is the twin 105 main guns on the destroyer or the three triple 203 mm main guns on the cruiser, they can be transformed into powerful anti-aircraft weapons.
The functional requirements of the new provincial cruiser, which has a full load displacement of more than 20,000 tons, are completely different from those of mainstream naval states. Compared with the Alaska-class cruisers of the United States, it has a full load displacement of 34,000 tons, three triple 305 mm main guns, six twin 127mm auxiliary guns, 56 anti-aircraft 40mm anti-aircraft guns, 34 20mm anti-aircraft guns, and a maximum speed of 32 knots.
China's second-generation provincial cruisers were much lighter, without huge main guns, without so many anti-aircraft guns. Because when the Chinese cruisers were designed, they were completely in accordance with the requirements of air defense. A reasonable layout can maximize the use of firepower, rather than blindly pursuing the number of anti-aircraft guns.
Full load displacement 24000 tons. Three triple 203 main guns, without secondary guns, 12 88-mm twin anti-aircraft guns, 24 40-mm twin anti-aircraft guns. The main thing is that compared to the first-generation air defense cruisers, the second-generation provincial air defense cruisers have twenty more anti-aircraft phalanxes. A phalanx with an effective firing range of up to 6000 meters is capable of forming a dense fire cover between 500 meters and 4000 meters over the fleet. It is the real protector of the fleet, because in naval warfare, there are not many threat targets from high altitudes, but more carrier-based aircraft in the range of activity between 4,000 and 500 meters.
Powerful heavy oil thermal cycle gas turbines. Four-axis propulsion. It is endowed with powerful maneuverability, reaching a top speed of 34 knots. It has greatly strengthened its survivability in naval warfare and is also able to better perform air defense tasks.
Like cruisers, today's Chinese destroyers belong to the second generation. The destroyers of the first generation have basically been replaced by the Coast Guard. Become a training ship and a patrol ship. There was only a rare twin-mounted 105 main gun in the bow of the ship. The rest of the space. At the tail end is a helicopter hangar and take-off and landing platform, and in the middle, except for a very small chimney and a narrow bridge, basically all of them are equipped with phalanxes. From the middle to the bow of the ship, behind the main guns, eight anti-aircraft phalanx were placed. On both sides of the ship, the rest of the space, are anti-submarine weapons.
Compared with the 24,000-ton displacement and more than 200 meters long size of the second-generation provincial cruisers, the destroyer is a child. With a length of one hundred and fifty meters and a full load displacement of eight or nine thousand tons, it is clear that it is one size smaller. However, this latest destroyer is classified as a light cruiser of China in Western countries, and a heavy cruiser of China at the provincial level.
China's unique powerful power system also gives it a good speed, up to 41 knots, allowing it to be used as a fast mobile combat platform at sea at any time. It is rare for the countries of the world to be able to surpass its destroyers in speed.
Three aircraft carriers, sixteen air defense cruisers, twenty-four destroyers, four submarines, formed the absolute main force of the attack fleet, a three-carrier joint battle group. Air defense, anti-submarine, over-the-horizon attack, this is the strength of the Chinese Navy.
At this moment, under Zhang Yun's order, the joint battle group of the three aircraft carriers began to assemble and set up formations, all the gun suits were removed, the naval soldiers were in position one by one, the muzzles of the guns were raised, the fire control radars were all turned on, the communication system was complicated to communicate back and forth, and the fighters of a total of seven squadrons of Seahawk-3 carrier-based aircraft also began to assemble in the sky over the fleet.
All the Navy soldiers have begun to stand by the battle.
Around the fleet, the destroyers on the perimeter began to rush back and assemble next to the main force of the fleet. After all, a single warship, when besieged by carrier-based aircraft, dies faster. Without a joint prevention and control network, it is absolutely impossible to stop the attack of carrier-based aircraft.
Like all destroyers carrying out anti-submarine patrol missions around the fleet, the Taiyuan was the same, and when it received the fleet's first-class red alert, the captain Liu Changsheng gave the order to turn around.
"But captain, there is a cargo ship behind us, and if the cargo ship follows us, it will be tantamount to putting it in danger." This is the first mate's reminder to Liu Changsheng.
"Now I can't care so much, order the flag soldiers, the cargo ship behind the high speed, go straight forward, and then leave this sea area as fast as possible." Looking at the flashing red signal lights in the combat service center, Liu Changsheng said helplessly.
Of course, if Liu Changsheng knew that the reason for all this was the cargo ship following him, then he would definitely order the main gun to fire, cripple the other party, and send everyone above to the imperial military tribunal one by one. Let the law punish them for what they do.
It's just that in Liu Changsheng's heart at this time, on the cargo ship behind him are the lives of more than a dozen Chinese people. If you follow the destroyer, you will definitely be targeted, and only by staying away from the warship can they survive at this moment. Otherwise, a freighter that does not have the means of mission self-defense will have a survival rate equal to zero under the attack of enemy aircraft.
Not to mention the freighter, it was himself, and Liu Changsheng didn't dare to say that he would be able to survive the next battle. Now the situation is already clear to him, more than a thousand enemy planes suddenly attack, and the entire attack fleet will be destroyed. That's not one or two hundred enemy planes, otherwise there would not have been a level 1 red alert. Rather, there were more than a thousand enemy aircraft, and how much was exceeded, until now it is still unknown.
Two thousand enemy aircraft is also more than a thousand, and a little more than a thousand is also more than a thousand. However, these two numbers are very different.
And in the face of incoming enemy aircraft. It is impossible for the fleet to run out of the opponent's attack range, so it is better to put on a posture of fighting to the death.
The flag soldier quickly carried out Liu Changsheng's order, stood on the helicopter take-off and landing platform at the stern, and waved at the cargo ship behind, and the black and white flags danced regularly with a piece of flag.
Haruyama Ergou, who had been staying in the cockpit to observe the Chinese destroyer, saw the content of the flag that came, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The man surnamed Li who stayed by his side was about to ask something when he saw the flag for the first time, but was interrupted by Chunshan Ergou's words.
"Li San, let's leave by ourselves. Leave the Chinese Navy alone. ”
Then the destroyer in front made a U-turn. Head back to the previous Kaido. The heavy oil thermal circulation gas turbine made a muffled sound, and the horsepower was increased to the maximum, and it soon disappeared in front of the eyes of Chunshan Ergou and others.
――――――――――――――
When the Hawkeye 18 sounded the alarm, the command center of the Ministry of Defense also received a first-level red alert at the first time. Chen Shao, who was exercising alone in the morning, was also interrupted by an emergency call from the Ministry of National Defense. When he came to the command center. The command center hall full of computers is already busy. The sound of crackling keyboard taps kept converging in the hall. Busy staff come and go. The walls of the hall are lined with electronic equipment, from radios to satellite receivers. Directly in front of the hall. A map of the Mariana Islands is clearly displayed on a giant monitor.
On the map, the position of the Chinese attack fleet, the graphics of fifty warships are being adjusted. In the eastern and southern skies, large red dots flickered incessantly, gradually approaching the attacking fleet. The dense red dots are enough to make those with dense phobias feel numb on the scalp.
These red dots are enemy attack planes, densely packed in the air. This is the number of enemy planes urgently confirmed by spy satellites, but because there are many clouds in winter, the accuracy of this data cannot be guaranteed.
At this moment, the General Staff Headquarters and the Supreme Operations Department of the Ministry of National Defense are also busy, and Jiang Baili and Cai Yi are constantly listening to reports. Navy Minister Chen Shaokuan and Air Force Minister Qian Pengfei also rushed to the command center.
This is a big event, and no one dares to neglect it.
Chen Shao's arrival attracted the attention of Jiang Baili and Cai Yi, and the two immediately came to Chen Shao's side.
"Your Majesty, I have just received a warning from the AWACS aircraft that a large number of enemy planes are heading towards the attack fleet that temporarily belongs to the Pacific Theater." Jiang Baili said quickly.
"I already know this, and I want to know something valuable now." Chen Shao's face was unusually calm, without the slightest hint of anger, and it was a little scary. But it was this appearance that made the two people on the side a little frightened, if Chen Shao was furious, it would be okay, the calmer it was, the more it proved that Chen Shao was already angry to the extreme.
"According to a number of pictures sent by spy satellites, it has been determined that the number of enemy planes on the other side is 1,500, and the models should all be Japanese carrier-based aircraft. At the same time, in the waters of the Pacific Ocean east of the Mariana Islands, we found the figure of the Japanese Combined Fleet. It is already established that it was the real workhorse of the Japanese Navy. After Cai Ye finished speaking, he glanced at Chen Shao, whose face had not changed much, and sweated in his heart.
He and Jiang Baili both knew very well that Chen Shao had been in a bad mood for a while. Such a situation is no less than adding fuel to the fire, and he is worried that Chen Shao, who is furious, will make some irrational decisions.
"I don't want to know these now, I want to hear about it, what is the way to subsidize it." Chen Shaodao.
In the final analysis, now is not the time to talk about this, at this time more than 1,000 carrier-based aircraft pounced on the attack fleet, and the attack fleet can be said to be in danger, once the other side ignores the casualties and attacks to the death, then half of these 50 warships can survive is already a great luck among the great luck.
In Chen Shao's view, the main issue now is how to support the attack fleet and extricate it from the immediate crisis.
"We have sent orders to the air airfields and carrier battle groups closest to the attacking fleet to quickly dispatch reinforcements to support the attacking fleet." Jiang Baili said.
"How many airports were contacted? How many fighters will they be able to dispatch in a short period of time? When will it be able to reach the skies over the sea where the attack fleet is located? How long will it take for enemy aircraft to reach the sea area of the attack fleet? Chen Shao asked four questions in a row, which was what he was most concerned about.
At this time, Chen Shaokuan and Qian Pengfei also came to Chen Shao's side. At the same time, after saluting Chen Shao, he stood quietly aside.
The command center contacted the Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines, the Dahan Aircraft Carrier Battle Group in the Sulu Sea, the air bases in Kaohsiung and Tainan in Taiwan, the four aircraft carrier battle groups of the East China Sea Fleet, and the three major air bases on the Ryukyu Islands. At present, these sea-based and land-based platforms can fly a total of 3,000 fighters, including 800 jet fighters. It's just that at this moment, there are less than fifteen minutes before the attack fleet encounters with enemy aircraft. And the closest to this is Clark Air Force Base, which also takes at least an hour to reach the battlefield. The reinforcements planned in several other areas will take more than an hour. And we also face a very big problem. You are the voyage. All airports are more than 1,000 kilometers away from the sea area where the incident occurred. Even if the support aircraft can arrive and return, it will be difficult to stay on the battlefield for a long time. The battle lasts up to ten minutes, after which you have to return immediately. Cai Ye said.
This is the most difficult problem that China has faced since its history, fifty warships. The question of life and death for tens of thousands of naval officers and soldiers. These are all dead on their hearts. The warship is okay to say. It's a big deal to destroy and rebuild, but those tens of thousands of naval officers and sailors are the heart and soul of the empire. They must not be allowed to sleep in the Pacific Ocean forever. But how to save the attacking fleet and save these naval soldiers, this problem is like the Himalayas standing in front of everyone, facing the sky-rising peaks, like climbing to the sky.
Hearing Cai Yi's words, whether it was Jiang Baili, Chen Shaokuan and Qian Pengfei, their hearts were extremely heavy. They can't think of any good way to do it in a short time. And on the large map in front of them, the red Arabic numerals are constantly jumping, which is the countdown to the encounter between the two sides. At this point, there were only fourteen minutes left, and everyone was still at a loss.
At this moment, Chen Shao was not in a heavy mood, his anger had been put aside by him, and he was now very sober. He kept thinking about all the ways in his mind, but every time one came up, he would soon be denied by himself.
If it had been fifteen minutes earlier, Chen Shao would have even immediately ordered the Second Artillery Corps to use a nuclear missile to detonate it directly on the path of the enemy plane. However, now that the two sides are so close to each other, it is difficult not to hurt their own people.
But apart from this method, Chen Shao couldn't think of any good way to save the tens of thousands of soldiers of the attacking fleet. Warship, Chen Shao really didn't worry about it, he only worried about those naval soldiers. Just as Cai Yi said, the location of the attack fleet at this time seems to be a circle, and the circle is surrounded by Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands, which are more than a thousand kilometers away from the sea area where the attack fleet is located. This is already almost the ultimate combat distance of a jet carrier-based aircraft plus auxiliary fuel tanks, although the combat radius of land-based aircraft can be a little longer, but when you get there, the time in the air will also affect the time that the fighter can engage.
There is also a very important question, that is, whether it will be too late when the supporting fighters arrive in the combat area. I am afraid that by then the enemy planes have already completed their attack and left.
"Now no matter what, immediately order the support aircraft to depart immediately, one counts as one." After a moment, Chen Shao spoke.
"Yes, I'll give the order right away."
Just as Qian Pengfei's figure was about to leave, Chen Shao's voice came again: "Pengfei, wait, order all airports to dispatch jet fighters." ”
In a battle a thousand kilometers away, it is useless for propeller fighters to go, only jet fighters capable of sustained flight at subsonic speeds are possible. But even a jet fighter takes at least an hour.
"Yes." Qian Pengfei nodded, quickly came to the command platform of the command center, and ordered the staff inside: "Immediately convey my order, connect Clark Air Force Base ,......, Naha Air Base, and come to the Ministry of Defense for an emergency order, and issue the order, Qian Pengfei, commander-in-chief of the Air Force of the Chinese National Defense Forces, codenamed Black Phoenix." All of the above airfields are ordered to dispatch jet fighters capable of immediate sortie to the waters west of the Mariana Islands, coordinates XXXXXX, and this order is a first-class combat order. ”
When Qian Pengfei returned to his original position after giving the order, Chen Shao and the four of them were still standing quietly in the hall of the command center, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.
Chen Shao pinned his hands behind his back, looked at the beating numbers on the giant monitor, and suddenly said: "Actually, I have a lot of responsibility for today's situation, and I found out very early. The Wehrmacht began to become a little underestimated, including me, and everyone had this idea. The empire is developing well, and its military strength has reached the pinnacle of world strength with the installation of a large number of new weapons and equipment. This is something to be proud of, but it is also the main factor in our pride. In the past, I have emphasized more than once that as a general, there must not be any psychology of underestimating the opponent. I didn't expect that, in the end, I made this mistake myself. ”
Speaking of which. Chen Shao paused. At this time, Jiang Baili was about to say something. But Chen Shao waved his hand to stop it, and Chen Shao continued: "This little mental activity is exactly in response to the old saying that arrogant soldiers will be defeated." Japan's hand is good, it's really good. If it weren't for this situation, it would have been for today. I am afraid that we will have even greater errors of subjective judgment in the future.
Failure is the mother of success. This time Japan has taken the initiative in the war, and we must take this as a warning. In the future, when you think about the problem, you should think twice. Whether it will be as we considered before is our own subjective assumption.
Speaking of which, I have to say that the Japanese nation is really crazy enough, and in the midst of madness, it is also good at seizing opportunities. I don't know if this time Japan did a detailed plan or another "Pearl Harbor" operation.
However, one thing is certain: Japan absolutely has effective intelligence indicating that the attack fleet in the Pacific Theater will appear in that area, and there is no mistake or adjustment in the direction of the flight of their carrier-based aircraft. That's enough to prove it. ”
The battle had not yet begun, and Chen Shao had already felt that there had been a very serious mistake in his thoughts and judgments some time ago. They all thought that the Japanese Combined Fleet would go to the West Coast of the United States, and they never imagined that the Japanese fleet would come back after leaving the Pacific Ocean.
It was not unclear that the Japanese navy would wander around the surrounding seas, but as soon as this idea appeared, they rejected it. At that time, the idea was that with a few guts from the Japanese Navy, it would not appear in the waters around China. But that's exactly what happened.
Just after taking a look at the direction of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft, Chen Shao also found a very interesting point, that is, the Japanese carrier-based aircraft went straight to the attack fleet, and the attack fleet had just arrived in that sea area. That is, Japan could determine the exact location of the attacking fleet. It's a lot of fun.
"Your Majesty, according to you, we can rule out that it was the other side's reconnaissance aircraft. And there will definitely be destroyers and anti-submarine helicopters around our fleet to search, unless the other side has a submarine that stays motionless in the channel of the fleet, and our fleet happens to be bumped into by the other side. However, I believe that only our nuclear-powered submarines in the world have the ability to stand still in the sea for a long time. And whether it is an American or Japanese submarine, even a German submarine, there is no way to stay in the water for a long time, and must often get up to change oxygen and recharge the engine. So this also depends on the exclusion. Chen Shaokuan followed Chen Shao's words and said: "So, Your Majesty, you mean that there are Japanese spies or traitors in our army. ”
It is understandable that the Japanese carrier-based aircraft were flying at low altitudes, delaying their detection. To say that Japanese reconnaissance planes discovered the attacking fleet would be complete nonsense. This is because in the sky of the fleet, there must be early warning planes, as well as the fleet's own warning radar, as long as the other side's reconnaissance planes are not able to fly to an altitude of more than 15,000 meters, they will not be able to evade China's radar detection.
Chen Shao waved his hand and said, "I didn't mean that, I believe in the loyalty of the soldiers to the empire and the people." However, there is a reason for the incident, and we must investigate this point clearly, and we must not allow such a thing to happen again. ”
Jiang Baili nodded and said, "Your Majesty, when this matter is over, I will send someone to the attack fleet to make a detailed inquiry and ask why." ”
Cai also continued: "We can also carry out a questionnaire survey in the whole army to understand the thinking of the grassroots and completely eliminate certain problems. ”
Chen Shao didn't say the ones at the beginning, and suddenly his voice changed to this matter, Jiang Baili somewhat understood Chen Shao's thoughts. While warning himself, Chen Shao also conveyed his meaning to them, but he didn't want to talk too much about this matter, so he turned to the issue of intelligence.
They all understand Chen Shao's intentions, and they are all very cooperative with Chen Shao.
Seeing their reflections, Chen Shao nodded secretly. However, for Japan's move, Chen Shao, who has been in an extremely bad mood for a long time, is already furious. It's just that he didn't show his emotions, and when he received a large number of Japanese air raids to attack the fleet, he had already made up his mind to repair small Japan well. The previous methods against Little Japan were too merciful.
Thinking of this, Chen Shao directly asked Qian Pengfei: "How many bombers do we have idle now?" ”
Asked Chen Shao, Qian Pengfei said directly: "Avoidance, at present, the empire has 7,000 H-2 bombers, 2,000 Djinn God bombers, and Globemaster only has more than 400 planes. Except for the bombers belonging to their respective theaters, we now only have about 200 Djinn and nearly 100 Globemasters to use. ”
"How many Globemasters can all aircraft production plants now produce in three shifts a day?" Chen Shaodao.
"Up to two, counting all the aircraft production plants, the limit of production in a day is four." Qian Pengfei said.
The production of two aircraft is already a lot, if it were not for the continuous flow of various parts into the production and assembly plant, I am afraid that it would be extremely rare to be able to assemble a Globemaster in one day. You must know that the bomb volume of the two Globemasters is close to 60 tons at a time, which is a very powerful air attack force.
"In this case, before the Spring Festival, all the Globemasters produced will be delivered to the Air Force Headquarters, and all will be assembled in Hanjing, and at the same time, all the Globemasters will be ordered to gradually hand over their air raid tasks to the Giant Spirit God, and all of them will be assembled and on standby before the Spring Festival."
"Your Majesty, isn't it..."
Qian Pengfei's words had just begun, but he was interrupted by Chen Shao, "You will know about this matter later." After finishing speaking, anger finally flashed on Chen Shao's face, and he said solemnly: "Now our next task is not to let the Japanese Combined Fleet leave there comfortably.
Convey my order to order a part of the North Sea Fleet to go south to take over the defense of the East Sea Fleet and maintain the security of the waters east of the Empire. The East China Sea Fleet was ordered to depart immediately, and the rest of the South China Sea Fleet was ordered to depart, and both fleets were all assembled in the western Pacific to meet with the Japanese Combined Fleet. At the same time, it was ordered that the independent aircraft carrier battle group stationed in Taiwan go to the Pacific waters to track the Japanese Combined Fleet and guide the direction of the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet. Ordered all submarine forces in the Pacific Ocean to assemble in the western Pacific Ocean to form an underwater reconnaissance network to contain Japan's combined fleet. ”
After several orders in a row, Chen Shao no longer planned to let go of the Japanese combined fleet. If it weren't for the fear that the impact would be bad and lead to some problems that shouldn't have arisen, Chen Shao really wanted to directly give the Japanese Combined Fleet a nuclear bomb. But in this way, the impact is too great, and it will affect many aspects of the problem.
Let go of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Chen Shao will not be reconciled, even if he cannot completely destroy the Japanese Combined Fleet, he will definitely not let the Japanese Combined Fleet leave comfortably. Of course, if it weren't for the fact that the bombers bombed the fleet was too poor, and the anti-aircraft firepower of the Japanese fleet was not weak, Chen Shao didn't want the bombers to do useless work, otherwise, Chen Shao wouldn't have made the Japanese Combined Fleet feel better if he said anything.
In the end, it is still soldier against general, navy against navy. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
