"What? The fleet of Chinese was discovered!! ”

In a secluded courtyard somewhere outside Tokyo, the emperor, who had just undergone a skin treatment, suddenly heard the news and almost jumped in shock.

Seeing that the great retreat plan was imminent, and even that it would start in only two or three days, how could the Chinese fleet suddenly run to the coastal waters of Yuben.

The emperor, who was about to undergo a second tooth restoration operation, didn't care so much and asked the famous dentist to leave first.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with this dentist, right?"

Hideki Tojo always had a bad premonition, and every time the Yue army had any major action before, the Chinese seemed to know in advance and made corresponding countermeasures, causing the Yue army to suffer very serious losses.

Although many so-called 'suspects' have been found all the time, there are very few Chinese spies who are actually found to be Chinese spies, and some are even specially arranged by Chinese agents to substitute for the dead.

Although Hideki Tojo was the head of the military department, he did not have so much control over the emperor's personal life, and there was a special guard division in charge of it.

He never left the royal gaze, he was born and raised, studied at the Tokyo Metropolitan Medical College, and later became a royal dentist, and has always lived with him, guarded by special guards. The whole process of the last surgery was also checked by the guards. The emperor knew what Hideki Tojo was worried about, so he explained two sentences.

The Emperor's injuries in the attack on Tokyo are still in danger, and last week he had a toothache again, and he had a tooth extracted and fitted with one of the best teeth imported from the United States. Today was supposed to have a second dental surgery and replace the other tooth.

Hideki Tojo then remembered that there was a report on changing teeth in the emperor's daily life report, and at that time he also specifically asked people to check that tooth, and there was a thing in Europe that put a bugging device on a giveaway, and he was not very worried about the so-called teeth imported from the United States. As a result, no abnormalities were detected, and there was no problem even if a few were smashed to check.

But Hideki Tojo couldn't say how he felt in his heart, and he always thought that the plan was likely to be leaked again.

"Does the military department have any plans for the Chinese?" The Emperor asked.

"When it was confirmed that the attack was a medium-sized fleet, the War Department ordered the Second and Third Fleets to form a mixed fleet and deploy it in the offshore waters east of Tokyo Bay. In addition, the land-based air force and radar stations in various localities have been ordered to be put on maximum alert, and the Americans have been informed of the situation, and they have promised that if the Chinese carrier-based aircraft group dares to attack the mainland, it will take off to meet the attack. ”

Hideki Tojo said simply.

Because they had only discovered a Chinese fleet, the Americans did not agree to transfer the Pacific Fleet in the Pacific Ocean east of Hokkaido, and could only meet the enemy with their two sub-fleets and about seven or eight aircraft carriers. Of course, once the Chinese fleet is delayed, the range of the land-based air force will still be able to support the war.

…… Soon, the news that the army had mobilized two detachments and that about one-third of the navy's strength had arrived in the waters near Tokyo was transmitted back to China. According to the plan, the T-35 medium- and long-range bomber, equipped with a new anti-ship missile, the Sturgeon-2 anti-ship missile, arrived at the airfield in Shandong and could take off with the bomb at any time.

As soon as the news of the arrival of the fleet at the military port for supplies reached the country, the bombers would fly towards the city.

On the night of the first day, the fleet of the Japanese army did not enter the port, and the Japanese army, knowing that the military port was very dangerous, easily stopped supplying at the military port south of the island, and usually went to Hokkaido and other ports closer to the Pacific Ocean to replenish supplies.

The next night, the Japanese army still did not move, but the Hokkaido direction was already massing a large-scale U.S. fleet, preparing to escort the first wave of ships trying to go to the Far East by carrier-based aircraft.

Also on the second day, the flames of war in the Far East were raging again, the main force of the army accelerated and withdrew in the coastal direction, and the 13 divisions of the army were left behind, sacrificing more than one division, and the squadron temporarily disengaged from contact, and then, it should be the army's poison gas bombs began to explode to form a poison gas isolation zone.

Otherwise, with the speed of advance of the Chinese armored forces, the Japanese army may even wake up the next day with the muzzles of the Wehrmacht tanks.

The Chinese army quickly withdrew, and at the cost of sacrificing a multi-division regiment, dragged the vanguard of China, and the [***] team, which had already learned of the plan of the Yue army, would certainly not be stupid to catch up and wait to be bombed by poison gas bombs.

Therefore, the Yue army was fortunate to begin to break away from the [***] team, one kilometer, two kilometers, until ten kilometers, and the thirteen divisions of the Yue army began to build positions again, because the distance in front of them would be a poison gas belt blocking the [***] team.

However, when his land gas containment plan had not yet been implemented, he first received a surprise from a less friendly country, China.

In the evening of the next day, it was already dark, and a piece of information suddenly came back to China.

"Fearing the outbreak of war at sea, the army specially dispatched the Third Fleet to reinforce the waters near Tokyo; due to insufficient combat readiness, except for the Third Fleet, which had just arrived, the First and Second Fleets, which had just arrived, had already gone to Tokyo Bay, Yokohama, and other nearby ports to replenish war supplies overnight.

After this top-secret information was transmitted back to China, it was really a surprise.

"I didn't expect that I was so unprepared."

After some investigation, Zhang Shusheng got the latest and most comprehensive information.

It turns out that since the US Combined Fleet has shrunk into the Pacific Ocean and has only occasionally entered the port for replenishment, the supply has always been a problem, and it is necessary to supply a large number of carrier-based aircraft to take off for battle, and the other consumption of the entire Combined Fleet is very huge; generally speaking, there is only one detachment in the entire sea area near Tokyo and Kanagawa, and it is still on garrison; after the Chinese fleet appeared, the first and second fleets were all transferred back from the neighboring Hokkaido area, and the combat readiness materials were completely insufficient in a hurry. It may not even be enough to have fuel and ammunition reserves for a large air battle with carrier-based aircraft.

"This is an excellent opportunity, the replenishment of the fleet cannot be completed in a few hours, seize the time, first surprise the Yue himself, and then cooperate with the sea carrier-based aircraft force to destroy the third detachment of the Yue army, and the strength of the US maritime coalition will be cut by a full third." Zhang Shusheng smiled and said to Navy Commander Deng Haoqian, "According to the original plan, let's take off the bomber group." ”

Since this time we were dealing with the incoming fleet of the Japanese army, and a large number of bombers would be easily discovered, the method of flying a small number of T-35 medium- and long-range bombers to break through at high altitude was adopted instead of strategic bombing, because if this was the case, the bomber group might have not yet arrived, and the devil's fleet would have fled. In the six months since the strategic bombing, there have been not one or two military air ports bombed, and the devil's fleet just won't easily return to the nest.

"Yes, Chairman. The Navy will do its best to complete its mission, weaken the Navy, and provide assistance for the decisive battle at sea. Deng Haoqian knew the significance of this decisive battle at sea, which seemed to be to support the general offensive in the Far East from the side, but in fact, once the United States said that the coalition forces would fight, it would be a decisive battle.

The order was quickly issued to an airfield somewhere in Shandong.

"The action begins, take off immediately!"

At the command of the Air Force commander present at the scene, 50 T-35 medium- and long-range bombers, which had been completely prepared half an hour in advance, began to take off one after another.

A T-35 medium- and long-range bomber can carry 2~4 Sturgeon-2 air-launched anti-ship missiles, which are anti-ship missiles with large warheads, equipped with high-headshots, and launched from the air.

Fifty T-35 bombers, loaded with 150 anti-ship missiles and some aerial bombs, headed straight for the Tokyo-Kanagawa area.

In order to maintain a high degree of secrecy, even the pilots did not know their combat objectives before the operation, and only after arriving at this airfield were they centrally managed, and intensive training was given to identify and bomb the entire first-line port on the east coast of the city. In fact, these pilots have participated in countless bombings, and a few days of study will give them complete knowledge of how to distinguish targets on the radar when they arrive at port, and to look for what may be very faint references.

The 50 planes flew at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, and because of the small size of the group, they completely evaded the radar of the Japanese army and any patrol planes, and headed straight for several port targets in the Tokyo-Kanagawa area.

The distance of several hundred kilometers was only about an hour under the flight of the T-35, and it reached the airspace above the military port.

"Lower the altitude, turn on the radar, search and lock on the target. Be careful not to stay at a relatively safe altitude and not be detected by the army's radar. ”

The so-called relative safe altitude is above the scanning altitude of the army's radar, and of course, this altitude is also safe compared to the army, and if a bomb is dropped from this height, the error can be so large that it can frighten people to death; of course, what the army does not know is that if a missile is launched from this height, it can be done with a range of only 10 kilometers.

This air-launched Sturgeon 2 is more advanced than the 1 type in that it has a longer range, and it can accept the guidance of the bomber's airborne radar, rather than simply launching it roughly like the first generation and relying on the missile's own simple heat-seeking seeker to hit the target.

"Signals for five aircraft carrier characteristics, thirteen for destroyers, twelve for several other ships......"

Bomber groups divided into three directions, some of which are equipped with more advanced radars, are able to identify targets in the port.

The radars of the various aircraft matched with the anti-ship missiles also locked onto the target one after another, and the simple fire control computer began to input the launch parameters, and then the commander of the action unit gave an order, "Each of them locks on to the target!" ”

"Aircraft carrier target, locked!"

"The destroyer target is locked!"

"The other ships are targeted!"

Immediately, a lieutenant colonel in charge of the command ordered, "Fire!" ”

Suddenly, the bombers, which had already formed a firing formation in the air, began to make their final attitude adjustments, with their noses facing downward, and the crew of the weapons crew, which specializes in the anti-ship missile weapon system, calmly pressed the launch button, and an anti-ship missile immediately left the plane and flew toward the target with a long tail flame.

"Start guiding!"

At a distance of less than 10 kilometers, the anti-ship missile's speed from a high altitude was 0.8 Mach 0, and the speed of the anti-ship missile was increased from a high altitude, and finally it exceeded the speed of sound, reaching about 1.2 times the speed of sound.

At this time, the port of Yokohama was busy, and the army had put the port under martial law, and no one was allowed to go out, while a large number of vehicles were driving in from outside the port.

The bombing by the Chinese was so frequent that the supplies did not dare to be placed in the port, a dead target that was extremely easy to be bombed, and the army had to rely on this stupid method to hide.

Large numbers of port workers were called to the port from their beds or dinner tables in nearby homes to load supplies for the dense array of warships that were entering the port one after another.

"It's going to be a war again, so many warships, I haven't seen them for months."

"Yes, the Chinese are bombing more and more fiercely, although they generally do not target civilian targets, but once they suspect that there are military targets, even nearby places will suffer."

…… The workers discussed recent events, and not far away the fierce soldiers of the Japanese army were on high alert, shouting loudly from time to time.

The civilians are tired of the war, they hate the Chinese, after all, it is the Chinese who come to bomb the Yumoto, but they also hate the Yumoto political axe, and even have a sense of resistance to the emperor who has never seen him.

When life and livelihood are completely threatened, it is easy for civilians, at least, to change their minds.

The busy docks, truckloads of fuel, ammunition and even food, and fresh water were being sent to the ships one after another, and it seemed that the progress was going to be busy until dawn.

Several port stevedores raised their heads to wipe their sweat, they had just used a winch to carry a whole truckload of supplies, they were tired enough, and they took a short rest from the air raid that the convoy had not yet arrived.

"Hey, what's shining in the sky?"

Everyone looked to the sky, but they saw more than a dozen shining objects flying quickly from the sky, and gradually everyone saw that it was flames.

At this time, even some military personnel discovered that the propagation of light is the fastest after all, and it is easy to find more than a dozen anti-ship missiles in the night sky pulling the light of fire.

"Yaga, what is this, it doesn't look like a bomb......"

An officer muttered to himself.

But soon, when everyone raised their heads to look at the sky, the targets finally pierced the night sky with a loud roar, screaming and rushing towards the battleships.

"Whew...... Rumble!!! ”

From the first explosion, a total of 9 of the 15 missiles hit their respective targets, another four repeatedly hit the targets of other missiles, and 2 of them flew out of control and fell into the open space of the harbor and fell into the crowd, all in all, the results were still very good.

The earth-shattering sound of explosions, relying on high-speed flight and huge kinetic energy to penetrate the battleship's anti-ship missile warhead exploded violently, and the battleship in the shallow water of General Harbor jumped directly to the height of the foot.

Rumble!! Rumble!! …… The constant sound of explosions, the sound of death, and the blazing flames turned the port into a living hell.

At the same time, the port of Gulf of Tonkin and another port were bombed, and the results of the first wave of anti-ship missiles were both large and small, and many of them did not hit the target or repeatedly hit the target because the guidance equipment was not accurate and advanced.

But when the third round of anti-ship missiles, a total of 150 anti-ship missiles, swept across three ports, the ships were only the luckiest ones who were able to escape.

The ships of the two sub-fleets and many other coastal fleets, as well as civilian commercial and military transport vessels, were also affected.

In 15 minutes, the three major ports in the Kanagawa-Tokyo area on the eastern coast of the city were bombed into hell on earth.

At this time, the Far Eastern Army was busy transporting poison gas bombs from underground storage depots, preparing to create a poison gas isolation zone overnight, and after dawn, the Far East Vanino region would be personally created by the Far East Army to create another hell on earth, but the Wehrmacht had already expected it and did not rashly follow up.

Almost in the shortest possible time, the news reached Tokyo.

"What?? The First and Second Fleets were annihilated and bombed by Chinese!! ”

The Emperor, who was undergoing a filling, was so shocked that he almost had tweezers stuck in his mouth, and had to ask the doctor to quickly perform the final operation.

Afterwards, the emperor was furious and prepared to listen to Hideki Tojo's explanation.

"Why didn't the radar units find out? What are the air forces stationed in, do they let the Chinese blow up our warships in vain, and they take off to meet them? Did the air defense forces fire......"

Previously, the emperor had not heard the air raid sirens in Tokyo at all, and the sirens that had just sounded had been after the attack on the port of Tokyo Bay.

"Your Majesty, although we believe that it was the Chinese planes that bombed our port, we could not find the other party's planes, and even if we searched at maximum power, we did not find the target, which is a new radar from the US military, which can search to an altitude of up to 7,500 meters, which shows that the Chinese army launched an attack on us at an altitude of at least about 8,000."

Hideki Tojo said helplessly.

"What does this mean? Could it be that they could accurately bomb three ports and two large sub-fleets from such a high place? The Emperor said angrily.

"According to eyewitness reports, the weapons used by the Chinese are most likely missiles, a radio-guided bomb similar to the one used by the Germans, and a secret weapon that the Chinese used at Pearl Harbor, which we thought was a radio bomb at the time, and now suspect that it may be a missile capable of precision strikes." It's just that compared to the Germans' radio-guided bombs, it was more advanced, more flexible than V1 and V2 missiles, and easier to launch from aircraft. ”

Hideki Tojo said quickly, the staff officers were not without skills, at least after being attacked, they quickly analyzed the weapons used by the enemy.

And this can be used as a pretext for the crime of incompetence of the military department.

No way, the Chinese used missile weapons, we can't stop it.

"Order all localities to pay attention to air defense, and ask the land-based air force to take off and prepare for battle, so as to prevent the enemy from bombing more targets and even cities with missiles. In addition, it is necessary to inform the Americans about this matter, the implementation of the plan for a major retreat is imminent, and the main fleet should not retreat, so as not to fail the plan. ”

After weighing the pros and cons, the emperor said that it would not be a day or two compared to the bombing of the mainland, and the great retreat plan was very important, and he would not allow accidents.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hideki Tojo breathed a sigh of relief, he was most worried that the emperor would order the fleet to go all out to find the Chinese fleet and destroy them to take revenge, after all, this disaster was caused by this Chinese fleet floating near the east coast of Yomoto, but for a while, Yomoto had nothing to do with it.
