Chapter 831 Blocked on all sides

The Soviet prisoners of war and warships in the port of Haishan Wei Jun mysteriously disappeared, and two days later, they were discovered by the Kwantung Army troops, and the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Ueda Kenkichi, was busy relieving the Kwantung Army of responsibility, and it took more than a day to inform the Minister of the Navy Mitsumasa Mineuchi, who had no great responsibility, but Mitsumasa Uonechi fell into an extremely distressed situation.

He is an expert, and he knows that if he equips such a fleet, it will take time and money, and the féiròu is gone, so he immediately targets Tang Qiuli's body, not to mention, Mitsumasa Yonechi definitely does not want the naval power that is a potential threat to the Imperial Japanese Navy to fall into the hands of Tang Qiuli, the devil of China.

Mitsumasa Yonechi's judgment and vision were indeed sophisticated, and from a series of incidents, he quickly grasped the root and key points of the matter, so he immediately issued an urgent order to the navy, "The land-based planes belonging to the navy should immediately take off and conduct low-altitude reconnaissance of all ships sailing in the Sea of Japan. ”

"The naval ground observation post at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula, the naval observation post on Tsushima Island, closely monitoring the activities of warships in the Korean Strait, discovering the whereabouts of the Soviet fleet, immediately reported to the Admiralty, and provided the naval aircraft with specific circumstances, all the departments of the Navy, must at any cost, sink the fleeing Soviet warships in the Sea of Japan."

After giving these orders, Mitsumasa Minai sat down in his chair tiredly, everything that should have been done could only wait for news, on the unobstructed sea, as long as the planes flew together, the fleeing Soviet warships had nothing to hide, "They must all be sunk, and Tang Qiu cannot be left with a deck from this devil." ”

Mitsumasa Yonechi also thought of mobilizing the Navy's First and Fourth Fleets to immediately blockade the Korean Strait, where to lay an ambush and wait for the rabbits, and it can be estimated from the time that by the time the two fleets arrived at the Korean Strait, these Soviet warships would have already fled to a certain port in China, and if they had learned the news two days in advance, they would have been in time at all.

It's all Ueda Kenkichi, a hateful fisherman, who deliberately delays the time to report the news, because he deliberately wants to see the joke of the Navy, despicable guy, Mitsumasa Yonechi hates Ueda Kenkichi to death, and he swears that if he has the opportunity, he will definitely take revenge.

Mitsumasa Minai secretly gritted his teeth and was ruthless, the measures taken by this guy were absolutely correct, and the only thing he missed was that he did not ask for the assistance of the army aviation unit, and it was quite difficult to sink all the more than 100 warships with the land-based aircraft of the Japanese Navy.

Perhaps, he was not willing to ask the army for help at all, and it was this fatal omission that brought them an opportunity in Qiuquan, and because of the delay of nearly three days, the warships controlled by the special operations detachment were already out of the range most vulnerable to land-based aircraft attacks.

Mitsumasa's troubles have not passed, and suddenly received an edict from His Majesty the Emperor, "The Minister of the Navy, Mitsumasa Yonechi, will immediately enter the palace, and His Majesty will inquire about important matters," which is the word "inquiry" in the back, which scared Mitsumasa Minechi so much that his fart was cold, and he knew that it would be no good to go this time, and a scolding was indispensable.

As for the consequences of being stricter, he could not guess yet, and there was no good fruit to eat anyway, so he had to enter the palace to meet Emperor Hirohito with trepidation, although he never wanted to see this moody majesty at such a time.

Mitsumasa Yonechi guessed correctly, Emperor Hirohito was extremely angry, since he learned that more than 100 warships of the Soviet Pacific Fleet had been captured, Hirohito was so excited that he didn't sleep well for several nights, and he was not Hirohito's petty family, for an island country like Japan with few resources, getting a full set of equipment for a fleet out of thin air was the feeling of a golden doll falling from the sky,

In addition, the Kwantung Army fought extremely smoothly in the Far East, and all the wars in the Far East could be resolved in the near future, and the territory of the Great Japanese Empire expanded by hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, and a series of good things made Emperor Hirohito in early October 1938 feel extremely comfortable, and his strength was even more abundant, and even several concubines were tireless in one night.

Looking at the statistical table of the results reported by the navy, Hirohito always had a dream-like feeling, watching a few sounds of music for a while, the NV officials and guards in the palace all suspected that His Majesty the Emperor had lost his mind, and he was stunned, looking at the paper was the name of those warships, and later, Hirohito was not even lucky with his favorite concubine, so he slept with these pages in his arms, and woke up with a smile a few times in his dreams.

After receiving Kenkichi Ueda's report, Hirohito's tears were almost coming down, and the feeling of gaining and losing almost hollowed out his heart, how could the golden doll in his hand disappear? Mitsumasa Yonechi and Kenkichi Ueda were the biggest fools, and Hirohito was so angry that he smashed all the furniture and decorations in the palace.

After rewarding a few not long-eyed shì guards and palace NVs, he was about to severely punish the commander of the Kwantung Army and the Minister of the Navy, Mitsumasa Yonechi, and the chief of the general staff of the base camp who entered the palace to report the situation, Prince Kanin Miyazaihito, hurriedly persuaded the emperor's brother who was in anger, and broke down the stakes and the actual situation in detail.

Emperor Hirohito felt that what his younger brother said made sense, this matter had little to do with the Kwantung Army, the prisoners of war and the warships were guarded by the navy, and they couldn't find the head of Ueda Kenkichi, it was all the responsibility of the navy, and Mitsumasa Yonechi couldn't escape the involvement, so he immediately summoned Mitsumasa Yonechi into the palace, and finally Hirohito was not dizzy, otherwise, the number one person in the Imperial Japanese Navy would be tied up by the guards and enter the palace to see him.

Mitsumasa Yonechi, who entered the palace, saw Emperor Hirohito's face, and when he saw Prince Zaihito standing aside, his eyes were rolling, he understood at that time, and designated that His Royal Highness the Prince had maggots under His Majesty the Emperor, and put all the responsibility on the head of the navy.

So, in addition to bowing again and again, claiming that he was sorry for the expectations and trust of His Majesty the Emperor, Mitsumasa Yonechi also tearfully begged His Majesty to punish him severely, and slapped himself in the mouth while crying.

Prince Zairen sighed in his heart, "This guy Mitsumasa Minai is really scheming, this performance, he can win the best performance award, so that his emperor brother can't deal with him, smart, really smart, really an old fox, he fell too hard, it is not good for the cause of the empire, and no one in the navy can replace him to preside over the overall situation," At this time, you have to pretend to be a little better, so Prince Zairen pretended to be comforted, and also accompanied him to shed a few tears.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is definitely a scene of peace, and moved by the true feelings of the Japanese who treat each other, the inside story is only best known to Mitsumasa Yonechi and Prince Zaihito, after going out, it is still a battle between you and biting me, Hirohito's stomach is angry, and he was so angry by Mitsumasa Yonechi and his younger brother that most of it has dissipated, although he is distressed to death, it is not good to severely punish the Minister of the Navy.

Taking advantage of Emperor Hirohito's good mood, Mitsumasa Yonechi told him about his handling measures in person, to see that his handling was quite appropriate, and he did his best, Emperor Hirohito just scolded Mitsumasa Yonechi severely, and ordered him to take full responsibility for handling this matter, to give all the people a jiāo generation, to give me an answer, even if all the Soviet warships were sunk, the wreckage must be fished out, and those steels are equally important to the empire.

In the end, Emperor Hirohito said as if exhorting and sighing with emotion: "Minai Aiqing, I am not harsh with you, the captured Soviet warships, for the importance of the empire, you know better than me, the empire's resources are scarce, we must think of channels in many ways, including the imperial brother, we must live like me, jīng make careful calculations, so that the empire can support the long-term war attrition, I hope Aiqing will live up to my expectations." ”

Coming out of the palace, Mitsumasa Yonechi thanked Prince Zaihito again, for the help just now, Zairen was naturally polite, and both of them saw the flickering fire from each other's eyes.

On the undulating waters of the Sea of Japan, a huge fleet, forming a battle formation, galloping towards the Korean Strait in the wind, the innermost core of the fleet is two aircraft carriers, the outer periphery is a number of battleships, destroyers and frigates according to the standards of aircraft carrier formations, the outermost layer is torpedo boats, and below the sea level, there are submarine formations.

Qiu Quan stood on the wide deck of an aircraft carrier, the strong sea breeze, blowing his black hair, cold face, without the joy of leaving the sea and mountains, his eyes looked into the distance through the sea level, full of vast blue water, and a few seagulls hovering on the mast.

Beside him was the Soviet captain of the aircraft carrier and the interpreter of the Waiméng Ancient Border Guards, with whom Qiu Quan got along extremely well, wearing a major general uniform of the Chinese Army, indicating his identity and representing this authority, and his respect for Soviet prisoners of war won the favor of these Soviet sailors.

On the night of his departure from Haishanwei, he made contact with division commander Tang Qiuli, and immediately communicated with the air force commander Le Yiqin's air-to-air communication channel.

On the morning of the same day, over the fleet, a fighter escort formation of the independent division aviation appeared, and more than 100 fighters formed a sufficient security alert range over the fleet, which reassured Qiuquan a lot, and the escort method of the Chinese was absolutely unexpected by all Soviet prisoners of war.

In particular, those carrier-based aircraft pilots who were not very cooperative were even more surprised and almost fainted, all with wings, although the landing sites were different, the reason was the same, but they could not understand how the Chinese fighters who took off from the land could stay in the sky for such a long time, watching the passage of an hour before this group of escort planes flew away, and then another batch of escort fighters flew over the fleet.

After sailing for more than a day, the fleet was about to enter the most dangerous seas, and Qiu Quan set his eyes on the distance where the sea and the sky were connected, and his eyes were full of endless white làng.
