Chapter 117: Phase II
The news that the Han Empire declared war on Japan, and that the Royal Navy and Air Force had joined forces to attack the Japanese Navy's southern fleet was like thunder on a sunny day, resounding in every corner of the world.
In Chongqing, after learning of this, the chairman of the CPPCC National Committee laughed three times, "Ha, ha, ha", "Heaven will not kill me!" ”
And President Roosevelt, who was far away across the ocean, tapped the armrest of his wheelchair and talked to Secretary of State Cordell? Hull looked at each other and smiled, "It's just a Filipino, it's worth it!" ”
On Yan'an Pagoda Mountain, Taizu took a heavy puff of cigarette, and looked at the lights under the mountain with a heavy face, "The spark of the stars is not easy to fire the plain!" ”
On the European side, at No. 10 Downing Street, Chamberlain was silent, and only after a long time did he say: "Tell him that as long as he does not form an alliance with Germany, the transfer of Hong Kong can be discussed." ”
The most courageous and quick decision-making is still the mustache, 73 Wilhelmsseestrasse in Berlin, the German presidential palace, the mustache instructed Goering and Heinrich beside him: "We must get the information of that kind of heavy long-range bomber, our ME262 fighter is powerful enough, but it will take time in the technical aspect of heavy bombers." Immediately terminate all negotiations with the Japanese side, Germany's allies should not be those island dwarves, and the Han Eagle, which monopolizes the entire continent, is our best partner for world domination! In addition, restart military cooperation with the Chinese side and tell that bald head that as long as they can open the lines of communication, instructors, weapons and equipment can be available! We can help them train for twenty ...... for a fee No, fifty German mechanics. Also, tell Foreign Minister Ribbentrop that I need an excuse to visit the South Pacific. ”
Zhong Yi didn't have time to pay attention to these messy things, and all that could be put aside was really unpushable, and there were also Prime Minister Sandra and Foreign Secretary Wilson on top of it. An air raid was carried out, and the results were gratifying, but there were also many problems exposed.
In the Weiqing Pavilion, all seven members of the wartime Military Commission were there, and Major General Long Zhou, as the commander of the front line, was also privileged to attend. The first content of the meeting was to listen to the summary of the battle of Longzhou.
The air raid on the left battalion eliminated the Japanese Southern Fleet and the Fifth Fleet of the Penghu Islands, including four aircraft carriers, four battleships, three heavy cruisers, four light cruisers, 13 destroyers, two Japanese special cruisers, one hospital ship and one engineering ship, and a number of other transport ships and small ships. 92 Japanese planes were shot down, and a number of planes were overboard. 13,212 Japanese personnel were killed, including 6,032 at the Zuoying Military Port and 7,190 at the Magong Base (the number of personnel was announced by the Japanese side).
Our troops lost two pterosaurs, two poison dragons and one Cerberus during the operation, and several aircraft returned wounded. The casualties were 11 people, including 5 pilots.
Although they had already known about it, when they heard these numbers again, the bigwigs of the Military Commission were still very excited, only His Majesty, who was sitting in the middle, was a little indifferent. Using advanced aircraft and aircraft carriers to attack in the form of sneak attacks, such a record is so-so! However, the fact that the Japanese 22nd Air Wing risked a fatal blow and shot down and damaged a number of Pterodactyls made His Majesty very vigilant. The fact that the Japanese pilots were able to shoot down the Pterodactyl with backward attack planes proved that the Japanese pilots were first-class in terms of technology and courage, and that their sense of fighting was even more superb. Japan's Zero fighter has already begun mass production, and in the future air battle, it will definitely not be as easy as in this air attack.
I don't remember when the magical Sumitomo Metal produced the super aluminum alloy, and the time should be about the same, if the Zero fighter with a jet engine is used, the performance of the Zero will greatly exceed the expectations of the outside world. Judging from the performance of the main air supremacy fighters currently equipped by the Royal Navy and Air Force, the Sea Dragon and the Swept Wing Wyvern, it is not enough to be suppressed by the Zero, but the situation of comprehensive leadership will definitely be broken.
If the generals of the military are still complacent about the results of the air raids of the Left Battalion, and if the pilots of the navy and air force still think that the jet fighters are invincible in the world, as in the past, they will certainly suffer a great loss.
The commanders of the Japanese Navy were by no means idiots, and Commander Yamamoto was not just a crazy gambler. Narrowing the gap in fighter performance, will the next battle be as smooth sailing as before? Of course, the Royal Navy is not without advantages, at least in terms of aircraft carriers, the various indicators of the marshal-level make the little devils can only look at it. The current aircraft carriers in the Japanese Navy had to be modified before they could take off and land jet fighters.
During this time, the Combined Fleet remained powerless to compete with the Royal Navy.
"Take advantage of your illness and kill you!" This is the wise words left by the ancestors, and Zhong Yi has no intention of giving the little devil a chance at all, do you think this is really playing red police? Have you discussed the battle to explode the tank, and then play the tank Armageddon?
"Zhiqiu, it's okay!" Zhong Yi did not directly dispel everyone's joy, but motioned to Ye Zhiqiu to speak!
Chief Ye knocked on the table and interrupted the childlike competition between the two commanders of the Navy and the Air Force, "Next, let's discuss the second phase of the battle plan. ”
"Haha, it's time for our army this time, right?" The whole country has been holding back for half the weather, and the commander of his forward base is still the commander of the engineers.
Ye Zhiqiu, who was interrupted from speaking, didn't say anything, just smiled and forgot about Lieutenant General Quan, who had a loud voice. The whole country Lin also realized that this was the highest-level military commission meeting of the empire, and secretly squinted at His Majesty, and sure enough, His Majesty's face was also as heavy as water. Lieutenant General Quan stuck out his tongue and hurriedly sat up.
Ye Zhiqiu paused for dozens of seconds, and saw that the national Lin had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, so he stood up unhurriedly and walked to the hologram behind Zhong Yi, which showed the sea map of the Western Pacific region.
"In the first phase, our goal was to deal a heavy blow to the Japanese Navy, the Northern Fleet, and the Air Force, and the air raid on the Left Battalion had successfully accomplished this strategic goal. In the second phase, our goal will be to capture all strategically important islands in the western Pacific, including Taiwan. Push the battle to Japan's so-called defense line and prepare for the third phase of the attack on the Japanese mainland. At the same time, the goal of the campaign at this stage also includes the greatest possible killing and wounding of the Japanese army's living forces, and we do not attach importance to the gains and losses of one island or one city. Now, I would like to invite you to speak and discuss the specific battle plan. Commander, aren't you in a hurry? Why don't you talk about it first? After Ye Zhiqiu's brief introduction, he immediately pointed the finger at the national forest.
Seeing that His Majesty's stern gaze also swept over, the whole country Lin hurriedly convinced: "Don't, don't, Chief Ye, the old man has not been able to admit his mistake, I obey the arrangements of His Majesty and the Military Commission." I promise to fight wherever I want, and if I don't fight, I will continue to be my good engineer commander. ”
"Haha......" This living treasure made the military commission bigwigs in the conference room laugh, Zhong Yi pretended to be deep for a long time, and then couldn't help laughing, "You are a good man, next time you dare to disrupt the meeting, the engineer commander has nothing to do, just throw it on a small island to see the lighthouse!" ”
"Don't, don't, Your Majesty, don't I admit it? If you really want to throw it, just throw it on Honshu Island, I think that bullshit emperor's house is not bad! ”
