"Canghai, why didn't you say that old devil from Yamamoto came a few days earlier? While we divide our troops, we can still make a mess. Aren't you looking for vegetables now? "Long Zhou, the commander of the Royal Navy's Northern Fleet, in the name of losing weight, has eaten apples instead of steaks.

Senior Colonel Guan Canghai knows best, and those are all excuses. Obviously, Commander Long is used to using chopsticks, and he can't use those knives and forks well.

"The old devil is looking at our northern fleet to bully, Canghai, we have to give them a good look." Continuing to nibble on the most famous Qixia apple, the dragon fat man muttered while chirping.

Captain Guan was a little speechless, after the Qingzhou Army landed in Yantai, it divided its troops into three routes, and swept Weihaiwei, Penglai, Wendeng, Qixia, Laiyang and other places within a few days, and the 16th Army approached Weifang, while Lieutenant General Lin Weiguo personally led the 17th and 18th Army troops to Qingdao, an important town in Jiaozhou. Of course, the most important thing for Commander Long is to take Qixia, the apple of this small county town is famous in all of China.

After receiving an urgent telegram from Navy Commander Zhang Zheng in the morning, all 16 Linglongs of the Northern Fleet took off, and the submarine forces near the Yellow Sea also quickly assembled in the direction of the Korean Daheishan Islands.

As Commander Zhang expected, the combined fleet was discovered near Cheongsan Island in the Jeju Strait. Several Linglongs lowered their altitude, and when they approached for reconnaissance, they were shot down by Japanese anti-aircraft fire.

According to the reports of other pilots and observers returning home, the Japanese firepower was fierce and intensive, and the fleet had several aircraft carriers and giant battleships, which were initially judged to be the main force of the combined fleet.

The dragon fat man was happy, and he had to get into three big apples this time. "Canghai, why do you think our lives are so good? If this combined fleet is messed with by us again, Lao Yu and Lao Mao will not be angry? ”

I really couldn't stand the bird, Colonel Guan snatched the fourth apple that had been picked up, "Commander, we have found the enemy's traces, we have to arrange how to fight." Don't forget that we are not fully staffed now, with more than 100 aircraft from two aircraft carriers, do you think we can handle a combined fleet of six aircraft carriers? ”

"Tsk! Canghai, you are too real, you know that you can't beat it? If you can't beat it, we'll run! Long Zhou didn't care, and took advantage of Guan Canghai's inattention, snatched the fourth apple, "clicked", took a big bite, and hummed while chewing: "Fighting a naval battle in the big bathtub of the Yellow Sea, Yamamoto didn't go to the toilet with a lantern - looking for?" ”

Colonel Guan was very skeptical, how did he continue to eat the apple after saying such disgusting words?

Don't think that Long Fat Man is just a foodie, in terms of naval command, even His Majesty thinks that Long Zhou's command ability is unmatched in the entire Imperial Navy, and even the strategic and tactical awareness of Navy Commander Zhang Zheng is slightly inferior.

This time, another carrier battle group of the Northern Fleet escorted the Yanhuang convoy back to South China and continued to carry other corps north. The Northern Fleet, which has only one aircraft carrier battle group left, is destined to have fewer enemies in the face of the Japanese Combined Fleet, which is violently dispatched. All the staff officers thought that they should quickly go south to meet the two oceanic fleets and then find an opportunity to fight a decisive battle, but Longzhou's choice was to fight!

"There is no precedent for the Royal Navy to avoid war, and this kind of humiliation cannot fall on our Northern Fleet. We can rely on the speed advantage of warships and the range advantage of carrier-based aircraft to drag the Japanese Navy in the Yellow Sea, and the graveyard of the combined fleet should belong to the Yellow Sea! ”

The fat man's words made Guan Canghai understand the commander's strategic intention at once - to bury the Japanese Navy in the place where the Japanese Navy arose! Psychologically, it shatters the self-confidence or arrogance of the Japanese!

More than 30 surface warships of the First Aircraft Carrier Battle Group of the Northern Fleet pulled anchor and set sail, and on the decks of the aircraft carriers Gongjin and Zijing, there were 12 Sea Dragon fighters lined up neatly.

The command ship Zhongmou, with a displacement of 13,000 tons, was the first to leave the port, and then the two Yuanshi-class aircraft carriers slowly left the port with the help of tugboats. Next, the battleship Bongxian, the heavy cruiser Xingba, and a large number of general-class destroyers and captain-class escort-class departed the port one after another, and four unhurriedly floated on the water, dragged to the last Tornado-class submarine.

There are no other auxiliary ships such as rescue ships and oil tankers, in the words of Commander Long, this is the place where the fleet goes to take a bath in the Yellow Sea, and the bathtub is big, so what's so troublesome?

The command ship is in the center, the two aircraft carriers are on both sides, and the other frigates only surround the three large ships, forming a circular defensive circle, the outermost is the smallest frigate, which is intertwined with the destroyers of the second layer, and the third layer of protective ring is flanked by battleships and heavy cruisers, and the two light cruisers are advancing as usual.

The aircraft carrier battle group of the Han Royal Navy has already had the style of the global gendarmes of later generations.

The Linglong reconnaissance plane would send back a telegram every five minutes to report the latest movements of the combined fleet. On the side of the two ocean fleets, according to Zhang Zheng, they are coming in full force. Moreover, as long as the 30th parallel can be crossed, the waters of the Yellow Sea will be within the range of Pterodactyl carrier-based bombers. This would take only eight hours for the two oceanic fleets, which were already operating in the East China Sea.

For Commander Long Zhou of the Northern Fleet, he was not worried that the eight hours were too long, because there was still a reinforcement that might arrive sooner, 36 Helleye strategic bombers, which had already transferred from Nanchang to Yantai and flew directly to Yantai. Their routes are all straight, and in this part of the Asia-Pacific region, no aircraft from any other country can threaten the Eye of Hell at an altitude of 12,000 meters.

The Northern Fleet that left Liugong Island did not directly meet the direction of the Combined Fleet, but sailed to the northeast of West Korea Bay, although the Japanese submarines and planes had not yet been discovered, but Long Zhou cautiously avoided the possible reconnaissance range of the Japanese army. Two hours later, forty nautical miles after leaving Liugong Island, the J37 Sea Dragon carrier-based combat began to take off, and the beveled deck of the Marshal-class aircraft carrier could also take off agile fighters, and four Sea Dragons would catapult and take off in each round, and soon 24 fighters would be on guard in formation over the fleet.

Next up will be the all-rounder Poison Dragon and the more cumbersome Pterodactyl Bombard, leaving only 12 Haifei on each of the two aircraft carriers as a defensive force, and the rest of the fighters will all be released to attack the Combined Fleet.

The commander of Long Zhou on the Zhongmou held up a big red apple, "Even if you can't kill the old devil Yamamoto, Lao Tzu will bite you down." ”

"Click", one bite will be ...... The apple bit off the small half, and the cheeks were propped up, but at this moment, the staff officer ran over with a telegram in his hand, "Report to the commander, the reconnaissance plane sent back the exact coordinates of the combined fleet!" ”

"Phew!" The fat man opened his mouth easily.

"What?" The staff officer really didn't understand!

"Hmm...... Woo......" I smoked before I could chew it, and the fat man was choked enough, "I said go!" ”
