Chapter 1051: Landing in Japan (Ask for Subscription!) )
Landed in Japan
"Bang Bang Bang...."
On the deck of the aircraft carrier, the 54 surviving pilots of the Second Group of the Hainan Airlines had just finished gathering and were ready to rest. A round of applause rang out directly from the door.
At the same time, in the eyes of everyone, Liu Hua, commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, who would almost never have been seen with his own eyes, walked over to him with dozens of senior commanders of the expeditionary force, large and small, while applauding.
"Commander-in-Chief, it's Commander-in-Chief..."
Several young pilots couldn't help but cry out excitedly after seeing such a huge scene, especially Liu Hua, the central leader who was in the first place in front of them and could only see it in the newspaper.
"Give me a serious attitude, the commander-in-chief is the central leader..." As soon as these people's voices fell, they received a stern warning from the captain Wang Chao.
At the same time, the 54 pilots, under Wang Chao's orders, stood straight as if receiving a review. The look that was still tired just now was instantly replaced by excitement and excitement. Everyone held their heads high and their chests high, waiting for the arrival of the commander-in-chief, Liu Hua.
"Comrades, you are all heroes of the motherland and heroes of my Chinese Expeditionary Force....I can say that without your efforts and sacrifices, it would have been absolutely impossible for the hundreds of thousands of troops of our Expeditionary Force to reach Tokyo Bay safely. Without you, the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of our expeditionary force would not be guaranteed. Here, on behalf of all the officers and men of the Expeditionary Force and on behalf of the Party Central Committee, I would like to thank you for your efforts. Thank you for your dedication over the past few days..."
"Bang Bang Bang Bang ...", his own actions were recognized. For the members of this era, no matter how tired they are, it is worth it. As soon as Liu Hua's words fell, a burst of warm applause rang out again.
With the end of two consecutive days of air battles, the Japanese Air Force, which posed the greatest threat to the entire fleet, could not threaten the safety of the entire fleet because of the successive destruction of several major airfields, at least for two days. Two days was enough for Liu Hua to occupy an airfield on the Japanese mainland, and for my use, he transferred two aviation divisions that had already been prepared for war in China.
All the pilots of the 2nd Brigade of Hainan Airlines went back to rest with excitement and excitement. Liu Hua, Zuo Quan, commander of the three major field regiments of the expeditionary force, political commissar, captain of various ships of the Navy....Dozens of commanders of all sizes. All gathered in the huge war room of the aircraft carrier, waiting for Liu Hua to give the final landing order....
After quickly glancing at the expectant subordinates in front of him, Liu Hua ordered directly to Zuo Quan beside him.
"Chief of Staff, let me give you a specific introduction to the landing site of our expeditionary force and the plan of action after the landing...."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief...."
Zuo Quan stood up directly from his seat. Under everyone's gaze, he walked quickly to the huge battle map on the wall and spoke.
"Comrades should be clear that the equipment that our expeditionary force now has is absolutely not comparable to the World War I when we landed on Taiwan. The entire expeditionary force. Not only has a large number of field heavy artillery been strengthened, but more importantly, it is equipped with a lot of medium and heavy tanks suitable for attacking fortifications..."
"With so much heavy equipment, in order to successfully land on the Japanese mainland, it is necessary to choose a suitable landing site... At the suggestion of the commander-in-chief and the approval of the Central Military Commission, the first landing point of our expeditionary force was placed here...."
As he spoke, Zuo Quan had already pointed the baton in his hand to the location of the Yokosu Military Port on the map....
"Yokosu Military Port....how is it possible, it's a large military port for little devils...."It was not to Zuo Quan's surprise, and as soon as his words fell, it caused a group of subordinates to exclaim.
In the eyes of all. After all, the Yokosu Military Port is one of the four major military ports of the Japanese government, and even if the Japanese army is now in decline, the military port, as one of their four majors, still has a force to be reckoned with. ..., seeing everyone's reactions, Zuo Quan smiled. Explained directly.
"Comrades, I know your concerns. But. What I want to tell you is that what you want, the enemy wants too. And what you can't think of, the enemy can't think of. And if our expeditionary force wants to successfully land on the Japanese mainland at the minimum cost, it will have to take the Japanese army by surprise..."
Without giving everyone time to think, Zuo Quan continued to speak: "Actually, you shouldn't worry too much, because the Japanese Yokosu Military Port is not as terrible as everyone imagined. ”
"According to intelligence, there is only one infantry wing of the entire Yokosu military port defenders, three brigades of marines, and the corresponding coastal defense artillery units....and among all these troops, the one that has the greatest impact on us is the Japanese coastal defense artillery units deployed around the military port."
"Of course, for these shore defense guns, my landing force does not have to worry at all. The main guns of more than 300 millimeters equipped on the cruisers of our navy will definitely be eliminated as soon as possible. Therefore, after the entire landing battle began, the first thing that the first landing force needed to do was to eliminate the thousands of little devils in the Yokosu Military Port and completely occupy the entire military port..."
"As long as the total strength of the successful landing exceeds one army, this army will immediately launch an attack on the interior of Japan, quickly occupy Yokohama along the coastline, open up a second landing point for our troops in Yokohama, and speed up the landing of troops. After completing this task, this vanguard and main force has a very important task, which is to march all the way east, take the Tokyo airport, and take it into their own hands..."
For the task of this vanguard and main force, every general of the expeditionary force who came to the meeting showed a look of eagerness on their faces, hoping that their troops would be able to take over this important task.
Seeing everyone's eager expressions, Liu Hua was very satisfied with the result. After taking the baton from Zuo Quan, Liu Hua stood up directly and spoke.
"Comrades, do you have any different opinions about the introduction of the Chief of Staff just now...."
"No," he replied very neatly.
"Very good, since this is the case, I will directly give you a specific combat mission...."After glancing at the expectant crowd again, Liu Hua's gaze was directly fixed on Chen Geng, the commander of the Sixth Corps, and ordered with a dignified face.
"Comrade Chen Geng, the first to land on the island of Taiwan was your Sixth Corps. So, I hope that you will be able to lead your Sixth Corps once again to become the first squadron to land on the Japanese mainland in formation.
"Now I order: Chen Geng's headquarters of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, as the first batch of landing main forces, will first launch a landing operation. As for the vanguard and main force just introduced by the chief of staff, it is up to Commander Chen Geng to make his own decisions within the corps...."
"Deng Hua's department, Bruce Lee's department, as the second wave of landing troops, landed directly from Yokohama after our vanguard and main force occupied Yokohama. After completing the landing, the landing force must immediately clear out all the enemies within a radius of 50 kilometers around the landing point and ensure the safety of the entire landing force. Then, assemble and stand by to wait for the latest operational order from the Expeditionary Force Headquarters...."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, guarantee to complete the mission..."
Looking at the army general with an excited face, Liu Hua immediately fixed his eyes on the naval commander Chen Shaokuan, and said: "Commander Chen, the task of destroying the coastal defense fort of Hengsu Military Port will be handed over to you. At that time, I will definitely order the Japanese intelligence personnel to get the specific location of the Japanese coastal defense batteries as soon as possible..."
"Please rest assured, commander-in-chief, as long as I get the specific coordinates of the little devil battery, I, Chen Shaokuan, promise that I will destroy them as soon as possible and make trouble for the army brothers...." Chen Shaokuan also had a confident ....... on his face, and after the meeting, the entire fleet also arrived in the sea area less than 20 kilometers away from the mouth of Tokyo Bay.
The Japanese Government still attaches great importance to Tokyo Bay, which can directly attack the capital Tokyo. Coupled with the peculiar topography of Tonkin Bay, it can be said that as long as the mouth of Tonkin Bay is defended, even if the enemy has a powerful naval force, it will not be possible to brave the rain of coastal defense artillery shells to sail through this sea area with a length of more than 50 kilometers.
For the sake of the safety of Tokyo Bay, the Japanese military headquarters fully deployed more than 150 large-caliber coastal defense guns at the small entrance to the sea. However, it is a pity that there is no precedent for the Japanese mainland to be attacked, coupled with the blind confidence of the Japanese government. Without exception, these large-caliber shore defense guns were all placed in the open air, without strong batteries to protect themselves.
The destroyer that took the lead had just entered the firing range of the Japanese coastal defense guns, and the little devil coastal defense guns, which had long been unable to bear it, began to shoot shells one after another. However, because of the destroyer's high-speed speed and narrow hull, none of the dozens of shells hit the target, and all of them fell on the sea, stirring up water columns dozens of meters high....
Seeing the Japanese coastal defense artillery position that took the initiative to expose the target, Navy Commander Chen Shaokuan's face instantly showed an excited smile. Commanded directly.
"Destroyer No. 1001, immediately return home, leave the combat zone....The four light cruisers of No. 101, 102, 103, and 104 will immediately break away from the formation, and use their main guns to destroy the exposed Japanese coastal defense artillery positions....Water reconnaissance planes, take off immediately, observe the shelling targets and the effects of the shelling, and rest the ship's artillery shelling at any time...."
With a long whistle, the formation of the entire fleet, like a huge machine, began to change directly. The destroyer, which had already entered the combat zone, relied on its superior speed to draw a huge arc of waves directly on the sea surface, out of the range of the Japanese coastal defense guns.
At the same time, four 10,000-ton cruisers, which had already been preparing for launch, sailed directly out of formation and approached the area of battle.
"At five o'clock, at a distance of fifteen thousand three hundred meters, high-explosive shells, a salvo, artillery fire ..."
With a deafening roar, the large hull of the cruiser, under the influence of the huge recoil, could not help but let out a tremble. Immediately after, 12 large-caliber naval artillery shells weighing several hundred kilograms, directly with a huge whistling sound, flew out of the barrel ....
