Episode 106 Target: Nagato

Xiang Xiaoqiang immediately called the fourteen grids of the People's Guard Headquarters.

Of course, Fourteen Gege was also very aware of the plan of the Ming army to bomb Tokyo, and he had not been very enthusiastic in the past few days, and he was a little uncomfortable emotionally. Tokyo, after all, that's where she grew up. She has lived in Tokyo since she was a few years old, where she went to school and was trained, where there were her classmates, teachers, friends, colleagues, and the streets and buildings she was familiar with, the shops and owners she was familiar with, the rivers and mountains she was familiar with, and the wharf coast......

Now although Fourteen Gege forces himself to cut off all this emotionally, trying to pretend that he grew up in Daming, but the more this happens, the more counterproductive. Now I think that in the near future, the bomb will fall on the place where I grew up, and I feel very uncomfortable. In the past few days, under the pretext that she is from the intelligence side, she has not run to the side of the headquarters, and has been hiding in the headquarters of the People's Guard, burying herself in sorting out intelligence affairs, and ignoring the progress of the battle in the headquarters.

Now that he suddenly received this call from Xiang Xiaoqiang, Fourteen Gege first felt a burst of inexplicable joy in his heart, and then forced himself to throw away his emotions and think about this matter rationally.

After thinking for a long time, Fourteen Gege took a deep breath and said lightly as calmly and coldly as possible:

"Well, your idea makes a lot of sense. You should have told me about it. There is no one in your command who knows more about the Japanese than I do. If the city of Tokyo is really bombed, it will definitely make the whole country of Japan angry. You're right. Previously, however, your aim was to provoke Japan so that it could retract its warships in the East and Yellow Seas. Now that he has changed his mind and wants to keep Japan to blackmail the Soviet Union, it is really better not to bomb Tokyo. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled on the other end of the phone:

"Hehe, I know, you grew up in Japan and can be considered half-Japanese, so you will naturally be ......"

Fourteen Gege was stunned for a moment, and then said:

"Okay, believe it or not."

After saying that, he hung up the phone at once.

After a few moments, the phone rang again, and Fourteen Grid picked up the microphone again.

On the other end of the phone, it was still Xiang Xiaoqiang. He giggled and laughed:

"Oops...... Well, you're mistaken, I didn't mean that. I mean, you grew up in Japan, and you know a lot about how Japanese people think, better than we do. We can't compare to you in this regard, I didn't say it. Since you said that, then it's absolutely right to listen to you, hehe. ”

Fourteen Gege also knew that his reaction was a little big, so he smiled and said calmly:

"Well, that's why I said, you should have asked me earlier."

"Alas, that's it," Xiang Xiaoqiang complained over there, "Stalin's old man didn't know how to do it, he just wouldn't send someone to negotiate a few days earlier." If it had been a few days earlier, the Tianshu detachment would have been able to return home directly after bombing Okinawa. It's like now, running so many hundreds of nautical miles of unjust roads. ”

Fourteen Gege pondered for a moment, made up his mind, and said indifferently:

"Actually, it's not going to run in vain."

"Oh? Why? ”

Fourteen Gege says:

"If you don't bomb Tokyo, you can change the target of the bombing to Yokosuka Military Port. Yokosuka is about 30 kilometers south of Tokyo and is also around Tokyo Bay. Now there is something worth bombing in the harbor as well. Hasn't the Nagato been there all along? ”

"Huh?!"

"Hmm. I'm just giving you a suggestion. I'm just telling you that the bombing of the city of Tokyo will boost the morale of the Japanese army. The bombing of the Yokosuka military port will only hit the morale of the Japanese army. As for whether it is feasible militarily, then you will discuss it and look at it, and I will not get involved. ”

"Oh......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded slowly, thoughtfully, and hung up the phone.

……

This proposal of Fourteen Gege has opened up a new way of thinking. Xiang Xiaoqiang quickly ran back to the command hall from the phone room, sat down in his seat, and immediately asked Xiuxiu to arrange power generation, and inform the Tianshu detachment to continue to march in the direction of Tokyo Bay, and at the same time be ready to receive orders at any time. At that time, no matter what order is received, there is no need to call back to confirm, and you can just be ordered to fight.

Then, he came to the side of the General Staff of the Navy, found Xiong Dingming and the staff officers of the "Aircraft Carrier Staff", and quickly studied the proposal of the 14 Gege.

In fact, in the original plan, the Yokosuka military port was also one of the targets. However, it is a secondary target, and if the bombing of Tokyo is relatively smooth and does not encounter a large number of enemy aircraft interception, then you can piggyback on the Yokosuka military port. However, because we had to bomb the two airfields near Tokyo, then Tokyo City, and then Yokosuka Military Port, there were too many targets and they were relatively scattered, and we did not expect to be able to bomb Yokosuka Military Port into anything.

But now the plan has changed, and the main target is not Tokyo, but the main target is the Yokosuka military port. Then naturally, you can concentrate more time and bombs, and only attack one place, and the bombing effect will be much better. However, in this way, the purpose of the bombing changed from political to purely military.

The previous plan to bomb Tokyo was not to kill a few Japanese or to destroy a few Japanese houses, and not to seek any actual damage, but to seek the shocking effect of "the bomb falling on the enemy's capital." Then even if only one bomb fell on Tokyo, the whole plan would have been successful. But now that the target has been changed to a military port, this has become a purely military operation, and it has to be measured by the standards of military planning.

How much practical effect can a bombing have? How many losses will our army have? Is the exchange ratio cost-effective? ……

Xiong Dingming personally immersed himself in a group of staff officers, sweating profusely. Xiang Xiaoqiang is not professional, and he can't plug in much, but he cares very much, just watching from the side, and asking Xiuxiu to explain to him from time to time.

After about an hour, these naval staff officers seemed to have a gradual understanding in their hearts, and they all slowly put down their pencils and compasses, and discussed with each other, nodding their heads as they spoke. In the end, Xiong Dingming also straightened up, touched his chin, looked at the chart, and nodded.

"Yes," he concluded, "it's basically possible." Hold on, and generate electricity for the Tianshu fleet. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang relaxed for a while at this time, and felt that the sweat soaked the shirt on his back. He sat down on the couch and told Xiuxiu to prepare a telegram.

"Lord Bear," he said, leaning back tiredly, "I think there's another good to it." Yokosuka is right next to Tokyo. We bombed Yokosuka, which did not stir up the hatred of the Japanese nation, but also had the shocking effect of bombing Tokyo. Because it's clear that Yokosuka and Tokyo are next to each other, and if we can blow up Yokosuka, we can blow up Tokyo. Ha ha...... This is equivalent to telling the Japanese: look at it, right? Ye could have smashed Tokyo, but now he didn't smash Tokyo, but just smashed a military port for you, so you should be content. ”

"Hehe," Xiong Dingming also nodded and smiled, "That's true." This will not only make the Japanese very depressed and their morale plummet, but will not provoke the Japanese soldiers to play with us. And we can get real military benefits. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled:

"yes, if I can give the Nagato number the result this time, it will be too ...... Ha ha. ”
