Chapter 270: Kure Harbor
The clammy sea breeze on the face gave it a slimy feeling, which was very uncomfortable, and in the morning when the sun did not rise, a mist rose, but I heard from experienced old sailors that the weather was not bad, and it should be a good weather when the sun came out and the morning fog cleared.
Riding a boat at sea is not a comfortable thing, even if Guo Yu has followed the fleet for so long, he has not developed the consciousness of taking the cabin as his home, he really misses the women at home, in the warm pool, the women in swimsuits are equipped to bathe together, what a pleasant thing, why should he run to the cold Japan to suffer.
But to be able to see the opponent trembling and screaming under him, this feeling is not bad, if you miss it, it is estimated that you will regret it for the rest of your life, since you are here, you can get a good get, and it is not in vain that you have worked hard to run it.
Guo Yu was wearing a black tweed coat, leather shoes were bouncing on the deck, Lin Haichao followed closely in a military uniform, the two walked to the side of the ship, Guo Yu patted the fence with his left hand with leather gloves, and said, "Haichao, how long will it take to reach Wu Harbor?" β
"Your Majesty, we have entered the Seto Inland Sea, and we are still about two hours away from Kure Port." Lin Haichao replied.
The 600-nautical-mile journey from Yokosuka to Kure Harbor took the Kafuku fleet a day and a half to sail south along the Japanese coastline, entering the Kii Suido last night and sailing into the Seto Inland Sea.
This time, Guo Yu led two-thirds of the warships of the Huafu fleet, as well as landing craft and transport ships, Guo Yu was ready to make a quick decision, and after robbing Kure Port as quickly as possible, he would leave the Seto Inland Sea from the Bungo Waterway and go to Sasebo Port in Nagasaki.
"Your Majesty, when are you going to start the bombing of Tokyo?" Lin Haichao brought up what Guo Yu said two days ago.
"Now the Japanese government is still licking their wounds, and when their nerves are the most fragile, they are giving them a treat, so that they can most effectively provoke the enemy's nerves, make them nervous, and finally become trembling, which is much better than wasting ammunition and constantly bombing." When Guo Yu spoke, the corners of his mouth grinned upward, looking like he was smiling but not smiling.
Well, Guo Yu is evil, bombing with missiles is not the best way to kill the enemy, if he wants, Guo Yu can come up with many methods, which are much more effective than bombing.
He's not a guy who takes pleasure in killing, but the necessary means are needed to use tactics and break the enemy's psychological defenses.
Kure Port is located in the bay of Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan, is the second largest military port in Japan, the first large warship construction base, compared to the Yokosuka Naval Base, which is mainly used to hoard troops and use it for war, the role of Kure Port is more focused on the construction industry, so there are more shipyards than Yokosuka.
There are more than 20 shipyards and docks, nearly 40,000 workers of all kinds, four docks of more than 30,000 tons, and no less than 100,000 tons of various ships can be built for Japan every year.
However, because it is located in Japan's inland sea, its external defense force is not strong, and it is much worse than Yokosuka, and it does not pose any threat to the Huafu fleet at all.
When the morning fog cleared, a huge fleet appeared on the sea, with a gray hull and a thick turret, which was higher than the forward speed of ordinary ships, and suddenly appeared outside the bay of Kure Harbor.
For Wu Gang, although the General Staff also formulated a detailed plan, Guo Yu felt that it was still a little troublesome, first bombing, then logging, then annihilating the enemy on the ground, and then sweeping the shipyard, layer by layer in a clear manner.
However, Guo Yu hoped to win with speed, so that the enemy had no room for thinking, and directly shelled and strengthened the landing line, and seized the advantageous terrain in the fastest time, and then Guo Yu went up and directly began to demolish the entire Wu Port, which was several times faster than the plan of the General Staff.
With Lin Haichao's order, the naval guns began to shell targets along the coast that might pose a threat, and two missiles were fired during the process.
The speed of the Huafu army is very fast, and the landing ship itself is also equipped with naval guns and missile systems, and while the landing ship is charging forward directly, the naval guns are still firing.
The poor defenders of Kure Harbor, completely stunned in a short time, had no room to fight back, and after a few rounds of shelling, the enemy had already begun to land, and in a short time the Hoa Phuc army began to clear the docks of the enemy and open a safe passage for their own troops.
Wu Gang originally had not many troops stationed there, and the defense force was not strong, and after suffering such a heavy blow, it soon lost the strength to resist and was wiped out by the Huafu army one by one.
Guo Yu raised his hand and looked at his watch, from the beginning of the attack to the occupation of the dock, it only took forty minutes, which was mainly used for his own transportation time, and there was basically no time to be blocked by the enemy, and the enemy had no way to stop the advance of the Huafu army from the beginning.
Guo Yu boarded the Wugang wharf, stomped his feet hard, said in his heart, and began to work. Then he threw himself into the cause of robbery.
After Kure Port was confirmed to be a naval arsenal in 1903, Japan invested a huge financial budget and spent five years to give Kure Port a strong ability to build and repair ships, and it became Japan's largest warship construction base in one fell swoop.
To build a battleship, the hull steel, guns, various parts, and even paint, wires, pipes, etc., require a large number of spare parts and supporting factories, and after producing the matching parts, they will be sent to the ship for assembly, and finally a battleship can be completed.
And in Wugang, there are a large number of such supporting factories, and Guo Yu attaches great importance to these supporting factories, so he did not let go of any of them, and all of them were loaded into the space.
"It is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as invading as fire, as immobile as a mountain, as difficult as a cloud, and as moving as a thunderstorm." This is a sentence from Sun Tzu's Art of War - Military Battle, Guo Yu felt that he had a very good appetite for himself, so he wrote it down and prepared his body.
His current behavior is: shifting his actions as swift as the wind, attacking and advancing as Xu Rulin, robbing the Japanese invasion as fire, and moving as a mountain in the face of doubts;
Even if it is with Guo Yu's means, if you want to be half empty Wu Gang, it will take a while, and by noon, Guo Yu finally felt a little tired, not much and now he has completed less than half of the content, and he is also strange when he robs and grabs his hands cramps.
At this time, the matter of Wu Gang should have reached the Japanese government, but Guo Yu is not worried, let them be sad and sad, and protest, it should also make the Japanese often have an unspeakable taste of bitterness.
After a simple lunch, Guo Yu continued his great cause of moving bricks, his ideal is to empty Japan, now it seems that this goal is difficult to achieve, but it is still no problem to empty Wu Port, work hard.
Lying on the bed of the battleship, Guo Yu felt that this bed was so warm for the first time, giving him a comfortable feeling, he was really tired today.
For the first time, he knew that it took mental power to carry things into space, and although he didn't have any adverse reactions, after a long time of transportation, the feeling of exhaustion from using his brain too much would appear, giving people a feeling of being very tired.
You must know that mental exhaustion is sometimes more uncomfortable than physical exhaustion, but fortunately, he has now strengthened to level 6 physique, and his mental strength is also much stronger, if an ordinary person completes what Guo Yu did today, it is estimated that he will faint from exhaustion if he can't install a few factories.
Guo Yu ate in strong spirits, and then plunged into the quilt, he was ready to sleep well, and the rest was gone.
Since we got the dzi, when have we ever been so tired and quit.
At this time, the fleet had already set sail, thinking about the next target, Sasebo Naval Base.
Sasebo is located in the northern part of Nagasaki Prefecture, at the throat of the Sea of Japan connecting the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, at the key point of communication between Tsushima and the Korean Strait, surrounded by mountains, surrounded by the Nishibiki Peninsula and Needleo Island of Kyushu Island, in an irregular "Y" shape, and the Goto Islands as a barrier to the west of the entrance channel, it is a natural harbor.
In 1905, during the Russo-Japanese War, the Combined Fleet was born here. This is because the base is located on the east side of the southern tip of the Korean Strait (Tsushima Strait), and the geographical location of the base is very important, and the good geographical conditions of the Sasebo base and the resulting role of the base are a decisive factor that cannot be ignored as the reason why Japan was able to achieve a brilliant victory in the battle in the Tsushima Strait in those years.
The base has a water area of more than 40 million square meters, can berth more than 90 ships, has 5 shipyards and 4 docks, and can repair and build large ships.
Although it is not comparable to Yokosuka, the first military port, and Kure Port, which was built by the first army, it has its own advantage, that is, the geographical location.
Kure Port is located in the Seto Inland Sea, so it has no advantages to the outside world.
Sasebo is closer to the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea than Yokosuka, and is located in the middle of the sea line from Vladivostok to Cam Ranh Bay, and the base is much more complete than Yokosuka in terms of fuel and ammunition storage.
Originally, Sasebo's things did not attract Guo Yu's attention, and there was no desire for Guo Yu to be very greedy and have to spend a day running here to rob, but Guo Yu had to come, and after reading Sasebo's information, Guo Yu had already made up his mind that he must get rid of Sasebo, Japan's forward naval base.
"Your Majesty, do you have any opinion on Sasebo's attack?" Lin Haichao looked at Guo Yu, who was still a little sleepy-eyed, and asked.
Guo Yu has slept for a full 12 hours, but his spirit has not completely eased up, which also makes Guo Yu vigilant, and he will not be able to use his spatial ability so unscrupulously in the future.
He didn't have any experience in this area originally, and he had always had to take a long time before he could collect the space, even if he was a little tired, he thought it was normal, but now he knew that he was not one of those immortals, he had a strong divine sense, and his spirit was only a little stronger than that of ordinary people, and he did not reach the physical level of Cheng DΓΉ.
