Chapter 219

The outcome of this meeting can basically be defined as meaningless, and the worst thing is that both sides have a very serious attitude. Chinese representative Wang Chonghui has repeatedly stressed that China will remain neutral in the war against the two major military blocs, and Chinese representative Hirota Hiroshi has repeatedly asked China not to give weapons to Britain. and said that since ** was given to the United Kingdom, it should be sold to the capital.

Wang Chonghui said that this matter has nothing to do with the political axe, but is a private transaction between the army and the capitalists. If there is a way to convince those capitalists and the army to take the best weapons, the political axe will not stop it. Isn't that nonsense! It is said that there is a deep grudge between the army and the squadron, and it has to be counted from the first Sino-Japanese period. Just like in parallel history, it is normal for little devils to sell a few rifles and a few 75 mountain guns to local warlords, but you let the devils sell fighter planes to see? The warships have sold light cruisers, but it is only a Ninghai.

This senseless bargaining soon led to a verbal agreement, in which China's political axe did its best to restrain arms sales, saying that it would never affect China's sea routes. A very formal meeting was extremely insincere, and then it broke up unhappily.

Hirota Hiroki, who returned to Tokyo, lamented: China is not what it was yesterday. Again: Prepare for war against China!

Fumiro Konoe and others were full of resentment at this result, and of course it was directed against China. Robber logic is like this, I can beat you, you can't beat me. Knowing that the pace of the war between China and China is getting closer and closer, the side is looking forward to the outbreak of this war a little later. The Chinese side is also in this mentality, using India to hold back its naval, air, and land forces as much as possible to prepare for war as much as possible.

At this time, it was said that the Navy's first and medium-sized operations to monitor the movements of the Chinese Navy had been carried out, but after this foreign minister-level meeting, the level of surveillance of the Chinese Navy reached the highest level. Both the military and political circles are well aware of one problem, that is, how to solve the problem of the Chinese navy once China and China go to war. If it can't be fatal with one blow, the Chinese can attack at any time on the long coastline, which is simply fatal for the transportation line of Yuben.

When the commander of the Combined Fleet, Isoroku Yamamoto, learned of the results of the meeting, he immediately asked the Kuroshima Kameto to prepare a plan to attack the port of Shanghai. The four major fleets of the Chinese Navy have five 40,000-ton aircraft carriers and three 20,000-ton aircraft carriers, of which the Second Fleet stationed in Shanghai has four 40,000-ton aircraft carriers. The First Fleet is stationed in Qingdao and has two 20,000-ton aircraft carriers, while the Third Fleet is in Fuzhou and has one 40,000-ton aircraft carrier and one 20,000-ton aircraft carrier. The Fourth Fleet was stationed in Zhanjiang and did not have aircraft carriers, but had two battleships with a displacement of 38,000 tons.

In other words, Shanghai's Second Fleet accounts for half of the strength of the Chinese Navy, and only by defeating the Second Fleet can it occupy an absolute advantage. Using a combined fleet with six aircraft carriers to fight the Chinese Navy with eight aircraft carriers, Yamamoto Fifty-six really has no bottom in his heart. So sneak attack is the only option, and Yuben is used to sneak attack. When the Black Island Turtle Man was ordered to start a plan for a sneak attack, the task force in the Bay of Bengal was replenished by fighters and attacked Calcutta again, which was already three days later. An aircraft carrier that was originally scheduled to be reinforced was abandoned because the foreign minister's negotiations were fruitless, and the Zero type temporary reinforcement was replaced by a temporary reinforcement from Thailand to ensure a smooth landing. Relying on the ultra-long-distance endurance, the Zero can indeed barely complete this task. The only thing to pay attention to is the time, you can't stay too long, otherwise you won't have gas to go back.

The murderous task force came to Kolkata fifty nautical miles away again, and at this time, the 48 Zeros flying from Thailand were also on time, plus more than 100 Zeros on the aircraft carrier (all the attack planes were replaced by Zeros in order to compete for air supremacy), Nagumo's heart finally had a little confidence.

The bombarded naval guns began to bombard the coastal batteries again, bullying the British with their long range. The effect of the artillery bombardment seemed to be good, and when the navy still landed, there was still no movement on the battery, and Nagumo said with satisfaction: "Yo Xi! The cowardly British must have run away from the battery. "The Army starts to land, and this is often the most dangerous time, so the 48 Zeros from Thailand have been circling, trying to buy a little more time for a safe landing.

The landing was unusually smooth, and a wing of troops landed on the shore, but the British did not fire a single shot. A squad of soldiers cautiously climbed up to a fort on the coast, the fort that had been bombarded by the huge cannon was already in tatters, and when the soldier Cao Yehara saw clearly that there was no blood in the fort, and even the cannon was made of wood, he angrily slashed the barrel of the log cannon with a knife.

"Yaga! Fooled! "Soon all four batteries around the perimeter were occupied, and without exception they were all fake cannons. The news came back to Nanyun, and he was angry and scolded: Baga! The ship's guns were empty, and the shells were expensive.

At this time, two hours had passed since the landing, and the Zero flying from Thailand could no longer withstand it and was forced to turn back. When Nagumo allowed them to return, he had a very ominous premonition in his heart.

In a wooded area eight kilometers away from the landing, a battalion of eight rocket launchers had been prepared, just waiting for the appearance of Mustang fighters. Although the rocket artillery thing is very powerful, it has a drawback, it cannot leave the kilometer. Without air supremacy, this thing is just a surname firepower, and it can't outrun the pursuit of the plane at all.

The buzzing sound came, the air defense siren sounded again, Nagumo's face turned purple, and the Zero from Thailand had just walked for less than half an hour, and the British plane arrived, as if it had been calculated. How did you get this information? Things are not as complicated as Nanyun thought, that is, the local method was used, and several artificial observation posts were set up on some hidden hills nearby, and two hidden radar stations also played a role. The 48 Zeros that came out of Bangkok had been detected by multiple radar stations in Yangon when they flew directly along the coastline. Combined with this information, it was not difficult for Fang Ping, who was in charge of commanding air operations, to judge the intentions of the army.

By the way, the origin of this rocket artillery, this is the 45th Rocket Artillery Regiment of the 15th Mechanized Army. Previously, the 15th Mechanized Army did not have this formation, and it was supplemented after sending troops to Burma. Fang Ping gave full play to the energy of the president's second son, and asked for a battalion to come over, and he wanted to teach himself a lesson in Calcutta, what is firepower coverage!

The Zeros on the aircraft carriers took off one after another to meet the enemy, and the 23rd Air Wing was pouring out of the sky to kill the enemy, and when the fighters on both sides were still about five minutes away, the rocket artillery battalion received the order to open fire. The ruler is preset in advance, so there is no problem of inaccurate hitting, and there is no expectation that the rocket launcher will be accurate, and the game is fire coverage.

Woooooooooooooooo There was a terrifying sound in the sky, and it couldn't be from an airplane. Just when the army was unknown, more than a hundred UFOs fell from the sky. And then, and then the entire landing site turned into a sea of fire! Then, after a round of rocket artillery battalions, immediately clean up the guys. More than 100 Zeros encountered 120 Mustang and 24 Hurricanes head-on, and a desperate battle suddenly began in the sky. (To be continued.) )
