863. The Offensive Begins! (a)
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
A huge explosion sounded, and the black smoke and fire waves that rushed into the sky were mixed with the screams and wails of the Japanese soldiers.
Many Japanese soldiers had to jump into the sea to escape the fire.
The explosives that the Japanese had piled up on the deck before finally exploded under the attack of American bombers, and the flames soared into the sky. You know, there are not only bombs that have not been reequipped before, but also a lot of fuel on the deck! And the planes that failed to take off!
"Your Excellency, General! Akagi and Soryu aircraft carriers! Blown up! ”
"Nani!" Nanyun Zhong felt dizzy for a while, he was actually blown up, how could it be? "Yaga! Do you know what you're talking about? ”
"Hey! There were too many bombs and fuel piled up on the deck before......"
"Yalu!" Nanyun Zhongyi is almost crazy, how can such a thing happen, although he is not sent by the aircraft carrier, but he also knows that several aircraft carriers and the fighters on the aircraft carrier are important combat forces! Now half of the aircraft carriers have been lost at once! Even he has no way to take on such a responsibility!
……
"Yaga! What is Nagumo Tadaichi doing! Yalu! ”
Lost two aircraft carriers in a row, and this is just a few hours after the start of the fight! Yamamoto Fifty-six naturally has a bad face! "Order, fight back! Find America's fleet! Kill them for me! ”
"Hey!"
In the Battle of Midway, the Japanese and American sides fought fiercely. Both sides have injuries,
At 19:13 in the night, the Soryu and Kaga sank one after another.
In the end, it was the Japanese who couldn't hold on first.
At 22:50, Nagumo reported to the command: "The enemy still has 4 aircraft carriers, and our aircraft carriers are all destroyed."
Yamamoto Fifty-six looked at the telegram and fell silent, in the end, what went wrong?
At 2:55 a.m. on June 5, 1942, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, vetoed the plan proposed by his chief staff officer, Kuroshima Daisa, to concentrate all ships to bomb and land on Midway during the day, and ordered: "Cancel the occupation of Midway." He also said, "I will take all the responsibility alone, and I will go back and ask His Majesty the Emperor for my guilt." ”
At this point, the Battle of Midway was basically over.
At 3:50, Nagumo received Yamamoto's order to "sink the 'Akagi'".
At 5:00, the Akagi aircraft carrier, which had failed to rescue the aircraft, was sunk by a torpedo fired by the Japanese destroyers Maikaze, Hagikaze, Nobu, and Arashi.
At 5:10, the unsalvage aircraft carrier Wyvern was sunk by a torpedo fired by a Japanese destroyer. The commander of the 2nd Air Force, Tawen Yamaguchi, and the captain of the ship, Jio Kalai, chose to sink with the ship, and some of the crew members trapped at the bottom of the cabin by the fire escaped through the hole through the torpedo and were rescued.
……
And when the Japanese were making a difficult choice at Midway, the Navy of the Independent Division had already arrived near Tokyo after nearly two days of sailing.
……
"General! Checkmate! A large number of unidentified fleets have appeared on the sea 100 kilometers from us! A Japanese colonel hurriedly reported the news to Jun Takeshita.
"Nani? In what direction? Takeshita was shocked.
"Hey, it's in the sea to the east! And, approaching Tokyo at a breakneck speed! The Japanese colonel replied.
"Immediately, order the first level of combat readiness! At the same time, shore defense artillery, as well as anti-aircraft weapons, are ready! Immediately report to the Prime Minister and tell him that if the Imperial Navy does not return, then we have met the enemy! Jun Takeshita said coldly, he didn't have too much worry, in fact, he had already been prepared, for this enemy, he also speculated, perhaps, it was Zhou Weiguo!
"Hey! But, Your Excellency, it is not yet dawn......"
"Yaga! Do you know that you came to my house to look for me, but you didn't know to go to the house of His Excellency the Prime Minister to look for him? Just go! I'm going to organize a defense right now! Takeshita Jun sank his face, now, most of the fighters in Japan have been transferred to participate in the Battle of Midway, in the final analysis, he is just a defense officer, until now, he does not know the situation on the front line of Midway, but he knows very well that his country's navy will never return so soon! The possibility of being an enemy, absolutely the greatest!
"Hurry up, get ready!"
"Hey!"
……
"General, not too far ahead, it's Tokyo!"
"That's great, it's just dawning, isn't it? Let the bombers and fighters, take off! Chen Jiliang squinted his eyes and faced the sea breeze, of course, he couldn't see anything on the shore at this time.
"Yes!"
"Remember, the primary bombing targets are the devil's arsenal and the devil's palace!"
"Yes!"
"Speed up again and prepare for the landing of the marines!"
After a few orders, Chen Jiliang put his hands behind his back, at this time, they were invincible in the waters of Japan! Because the main forces of the Japanese navy all went to Midway! At this point, they received a telegram from Zhou Weiguo when they were on the road, the war between Japan and the United States was fierce, and the losses of the Japanese army seemed to be quite large, and several aircraft carriers should have been lost. This is undoubtedly great news for them! In this way, even if the main force of the Japanese navy returns, there is no force that can stop their navy!
Whether it is Lin Jianzhang, Zhang Qian, or Liu Zhihui, they have all received orders to attack!
"Newspaper to everyone! The order to attack was given! In Japanese ports, on the sea, all the ships that can be seen! No matter how big or small, I will blow it up! Liu Zhihui's eyes were burning, and he finally waited for the order to attack, which surprised him very much, almost two days, they sailed all the way, in the darkness under the sea, only a little time to rise up a little to breathe, and now, it was finally time for them to kill.
"Yes!" The herald also looked wary.
For their submarine forces, this is simply a send-off achievement! The main force of the Japanese Navy is not there, their submarines are almost invincible in the world!
"Maintain course and speed while ascending to periscope depth!" Liu Zhihui's order was issued.
"Yes!"
Under the surface of the sea, more than 100 submarines drove silently, and soon, these more than 100 submarines were divided into 5 squads and headed for different directions. However, the direction of travel is still west. Tokyo, to the west of them.
Not just under the sea, above the sea, in the sky, hundreds of planes have already taken off. Compared to the speed of aircraft carriers and warships, they are faster.
Listening to the buzzing sound that came, Zhang Qian hooked the corners of his mouth, "Order, keep the current course and speed, and continue to set off!" Spot the target, make sure it's correct, and attack immediately! ”
"Yes!"
……
Jun Takeshita, who had already arrived at the Ministry of Defense, saw so many light spots on the radar screen that he couldn't imagine it. In the past two years, he has asked the emperor to pay for the research of radar, which has indeed greatly increased their defense capability.
"General! It's an airplane! At this speed, it can only be an airplane! More than 300 warplanes! "The observing soldiers were shocked!
