868.Battle of Midway, Pretending to Win (1)
Looking at the city of Tokyo, the flames were raging, the heat wave was monstrous, and the ruins were all over, and the fighters of the Independent Division were ready to sail back, and they had been wreaking havoc in Tokyo for nearly two hours.
At this time, the devil's plane has also risen to fight against them for a long time.
……
The dragon returned to the battleship, frowning.
For this attack, it is neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, originally, it was just a practice, but it was a live-fire exercise.
With this experience, next time, he felt that in terms of numbers, there would be more, and at the same time, there should be more heavy firepower, otherwise, he would not be able to suppress the devil's counterattack.
……
"Commander."
"Hmm." Chen Jiliang nodded, "How many rounds have we fired with the devil's shore defense artillery?" ”
"There are seven or eight rounds."
"What about the damage?"
"Two cruisers were seriously injured, and for a while, I'm afraid they won't be able to move."
"Let the men on those two cruisers go to the other warships, and get ready to sail back!"
"Return?"
"Of course, the flight team has completed their mission, but when the flight team returns, the devil's fighter plane will definitely follow, remember to let the soldiers surprise the devil's fighter."
"Yes!"
……
"General, the enemy's warships are retreating!" A young man ran to Jun Takeshita's side.
"I see, report the news of the enemy's retreat." Takeshita Jun squinted his eyes, stood up, turned his head, and looked at the city of Tokyo with fire, as well as the fires in the direction of some military enterprises, he knew the purpose of the independent division's attack this time.
"Hey!"
……
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Are you alright? "When the guards saw the fighter plane going away, they dared to get up and go to support Emperor Showa.
Emperor Showa's body is now covered in stains and blood.
Looking at the Imperial Palace, Emperor Showa felt that his luck was really not good. This time the air raid lasted almost an hour, and the next hour was the fighter planes on their own side fighting with the enemy's fighters.
Just now, he almost died.
Now, the corpses of the guards are all over the ground.
If it weren't for these people, he would have died long ago.
"I'm okay, I'll bury the warriors."
"Hey!"
"Immediately, let Prime Minister Tojo report to me!"
"Hey!"
Emperor Showa's eyes were full of loneliness. The situation in Tokyo, he also saw. The enemy's fighters, divided into three waves, were targeted, and not only him.
He heard the wailing outside the palace walls clearly.
The air was filled with the smell of gunsmoke.
After a little freshening up, he went to a room that looked like it was still usable, and waited for Hideki Tojo.
……
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, this time, the target of the independent division's attack is probably the major military industrial enterprises of the empire, you look at the direction of the fire." Jun Takeshita pointed into the distance.
"Nani!" Hideki Tojo was shocked, how important these military enterprises are to their plans, if the military industrial enterprises are destroyed...... The consequences are not something he can bear, "Yalu, hateful Shina people!" Could it be that the empire is really coming to an end? Not only did the Midway plan fail, but even Tokyo was attacked again! ”
"Nani?" Takeshita's eyes widened, "Project Midway ......"
Hideki Tojo closed his eyes and nodded, "Failed!" The Americans have long intercepted our telegrams, and, having successfully deciphered them, the Americans, are waiting for work. ”
Takeshita Shunya was also stunned, although he did not approve of invading other countries, it did not mean that he wanted to hear bad news, "Then, the Imperial Navy, how much can I come back?" ”
"The four aircraft carriers that went out on the expedition all sank to the bottom of the sea."
Rao is Jun Takeshita, and he knows what this means.
In this expedition, the main forces of the Japanese Imperial Navy can be said to have been dispatched.
What remains in the mainland is nothing more than some small fish and shrimp. And this time, with the attack of the independent division, there were almost no ships still floating on the sea in the port of Tokyo.
And as far as it seems at the moment, several military factories may not have escaped the bombing.
After a while, Jun Takeshita sighed and did not speak.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister! Your Majesty is looking for you! ”
"I see, let's go now."
Seeing Hideki Tojo leaving, Toshita Toshita's eyes also dimmed, so that he could probably predict the outcome of this war. There are too many of their enemies, China, Britain, the United States...... Moreover, none of them are to be messed with. Although China has declined, the foundation of thousands of years is still there, and Britain is an old power, although they have taken several British colonies. And what about the United States, the emerging hegemon.
Exhale, "Sure enough, will justice surely triumph over evil?" ”
……
"Your Majesty." Hideki Tojo stood in front of Emperor Showa.
"Prime Minister Tojo, outside, how's the damage?"
"Hey! The losses are huge! And, there's not so much good news. ”
"Midway, lost the naval battle?" Emperor Showa had a hunch and asked rhetorically.
"Hey! The Wyvern, Soryu, Akagi and Kaga all sank to the bottom of the sea. Hideki Tojo said helplessly, "Failed!" ”
Emperor Showa exhaled, "It's okay, we have other aircraft carriers!" Other warships! ”
"Hey! Outside, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, military factories were bombed! Several other factories were also bombed. ”
"Yalu! It's too much of a deception! Emperor Showa said angrily, "Are they, this operation, planned?" ”
"I don't know." Hideki Tojo said weakly, "It's just that the independent division has seized the opportunity very well this time." ”
"Yalu!" Emperor Showa was also powerless, "Count the losses as soon as possible and appease the people, as for the failure of the naval battle, under the current circumstances, we must not tell the people, otherwise, this war will definitely not be able to continue." ”
Hideki Tojo paused, then nodded, "Your Majesty said yes!" In this matter, I will ask the Cabinet to discuss a plan. ”
"Hmm. Let Yamamoto Fifty-Six come to see me. ”
"Hey!"
More than half an hour later, Yamamoto fifty-six also stood in front of Emperor Showa.
"Your Majesty." Yamamoto Fifty-six had no expression on his face.
"Yamamoto-kun." Emperor Showa spoke, "How many troops do you still have in the Imperial Navy today?" ”
"Hey! After the loss of the Flying Dragon, the Soryu, the Akagi and the Kaga, there are four large aircraft carriers (displacement of more than 20,000 and more than 40 aircraft); There are also four small aircraft carriers (displacement below 20,000 and carrier aircraft under 40), with a total carrier capacity of about 300 aircraft. Yamamoto Fifty-six spoke, counting the aircraft carriers they can still use now, "As for the battleships, the empire still has them." ”
"I see, Yamamoto-kun, I can't tell the people about the failure of the Midway project, do you understand what I mean?" Emperor Showa looked at Yamamoto Isoroku.
Yamamoto fifty-six nodded, "Hi! ”
"Specifically, the cabinet will discuss a plan, let's go down."
"Hey!"
……
Zhou Weiguo received a telegram saying that the combat goal had been basically completed. As for the loss of the devil, we will not know until the devil counts.
