1553 Attack on the Transit Island
Heihachiro Togo hurriedly asked, "Akiyama-kun, what are your plans?" Tell me about it. ”
Akiyama Shinyuki pointed to the newspaper and said, "Togo-kun, why do you say that Lin Yuan wants to publicize yesterday's battle with great fanfare, and also do everything he can to satirize and humiliate our Imperial Japanese Navy?" ”
Heihachiro Togo said: "Of course, Lin Yuan wants to gain pleasure by humiliating his opponent, this is a despicable and shameless act, and it is something that the samurai of our Great Japanese Empire have never disdained to do. ”
Akiyama Zhenzhi smiled and said: "Dongxiang-kun, you and Lin Yuan have been fighting since 1894, you should know something about Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan will never do things for the sake of face and other illusory things, Lin Yuan's actions are all behind the practical interests, I don't know if you agree with my opinion?" ”
Heihachiro Togo nodded and said, "That's right, Lin Yuan is indeed a person who takes practical interests very seriously. ”
Akiyama Shinyuki smiled: "So ......" Akiyama Shinichi picked up the newspaper as he spoke, and said with a smile: "Lin Yuan wrote like this, and he also had his purpose." ”
Heihachiro Togo asked, "What purpose?" ”
Akiyama Shinyuki smiled: "Use the media to put pressure on us, force us to go to sea, and fight them in a decisive battle!" ”
Heihachiro Togo nodded and said, "This is exactly the same intrigue he used in Hamgyong Mountain. ”
Akiyama Shinyuki nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, we might as well plan it!" ”
Heihachiro Togo asked, "How can you plan it?" ”
Akiyama said, "We will send a fleet and fight them in a decisive battle. ”
Hisachiro Togo's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said, "Akiyama-kun, what nonsense are you talking about?" You can also see what happened today, how much damage Lin Yuan's missiles caused to us! Thirteen destroyers, ah, were sunk in just ten minutes, and if we hadn't retreated quickly, we would have been lying on the bottom of the Sea of Japan by now! In this case, how can we still take the initiative to go to Lin Yuan's troops for a decisive battle? ”
Akiyama Shinyuki smiled: "Of course I won't be stupid enough to let our warships have a strategic decisive battle, that would be sending death at all, and I have a clever plan behind me." ”
Heihachiro Togo asked, "Is there a clever plan?" What's the solution? ”
Akiyama Shinyuki said with a smile: "The main force of Lin Yuan's fleet is the Divine Beast-class destroyers, we also saw it today, they are all concentrated actions, why don't we lure their Divine Beast-class destroyers away from the waters of Qingjin Port, and then let our other warships directly attack Lin Yuan's rear!" ”
Heihachiro Togo smiled helplessly and said, "Attack the rear? Where to attack? Vladivostok? Vladivostok's shore defense is three times greater than that of the Russians in those years, and when we go to fight Vladivostok, aren't we killing ourselves? ”
Akiyama Mayuki said with a smile: "Of course I know that Vladivostok is a tiger's butt that can't be touched, what we want to fight is the material transit island of Lin Yuan's troops outside the Tumen River Estuary!" These material transit islands were the hub for the material transit of Lin Yuan's landing force, and it was only with these islands that Lin Yuan's troops could have sufficient supplies to attack Qingjin. ”
When Heihachiro Togo heard this, he immediately took out a map from the cabinet, put it on the table and said, "But there are several of these transit islands, and the area is not small, we didn't bring too many marines this time, how can we attack these islands?" ”
Akiyama Shinyuki said with a smile: "We don't need to attack these islands, all we have to do is bombard these islands with heavy artillery, as long as our shells fall on the islands, we will be able to block the mouths of those people in the country!" ”
Heihachiro Togo nodded and said, "This method works!" Let's discuss the specific way to play. ”
Akiyama said: "Today is February 19th, let's postpone it for two days, at 10 o'clock in the evening of February 21, we will set off from Wonsan Port again, and it is expected that we can reach the Qingjin sea area at 10 o'clock in the morning of February 22, at this time the warships of Lin Yuan's troops should be able to detect us, and they will also fire missiles at us, we will spread jamming wires, and we can also pretend to shoot a few shells, and when the battle is almost over, we will immediately turn the bow of the ship and go back." ”
"We let four Kong-class battlecruisers carry out this operation, the maximum speed of this class of warships is thirty-two knots, it retreats with all its might, and the Divine Beast-class destroyers will definitely not be able to catch up, but Lin Yuan's troops want to have a decisive battle with the main force of our fleet, so they will definitely come to catch up, in this way, we can lead Lin Yuan's fleet away, at this time, our destroyers and battleships will directly attack the material transit islands of Lin Yuan's troops, I have already thought about it, there are several material transit islands of Lin Yuan's troops, One of them, Chidorishima, is the largest island, and we'll let destroyers and battleships attack this island! A heavy artillery shot will definitely be able to turn Chidorig Island into chaos, and then our goal will be achieved. ”
Togo Heihachiro thought for a while and said: "This is a good idea, but there is one thing that is not appropriate, that is, only four Kongo-class battlecruisers are involved in the operation, and Lin Yuan's troops will definitely be suspicious, I think it is better for us to add four battleships, and Lin Yuan's troops will definitely not be suspicious." ”
Akiyama Shinyuki said: "But in this case, the four destroyers will hit the material transit island, and the firepower may be too weak." ”
Heihachiro Togo said: "I just looked at the hydrographic data of Chidorijima, and the water around this island is very deep, at least thirty meters, so our destroyers can get very close, that is, our destroyers can put down their boats very close to the island and attack the island." ”
Akiyama Mayuki shook his head and said: "The Fuyuki-class destroyer is not big, and the number of marines that can be loaded is also very limited, and there must be a lot of troops on Lin Yuan on the island, and it is useless for our marines to go up!" ”
Heihachiro Togo said: "Of course I didn't want the Marines to go up and occupy the island, they just need to go up and kill a few people and erect a few flags of the Great Japanese Empire, Akiyama-kun, you should understand the political meaning of this move, right?" ”
Akiyama Shinyuki's eyes lit up, and he said: "This is an attack on the Chinese mainland, since the start of the war, we have been pressed and beaten by Lin Yuan's troops, and now that we can attack the Chinese mainland, the country will definitely be very happy." ”
Heihachiro Togo said, "Yes, that's it. ”
Akiyama said, "Okay, let's do it." ”
Heihachiro Togo continued: "As soon as this matter is successful, we will return to the port, no longer fight, save our strength, and wait for the update of weapons and equipment, at least we must have something to guard against the missiles of Lin Yuan's troops!" ”
Akiyama said: "Well, Anderson has been in contact with the United States of America Arms Company, and they are preparing relevant countermeasures. ”
Togo Heihachiro sighed and said, "Can't our own military factory fight for breath?" Americans' stuff is expensive and not easy to use, and there are no refunds! ”
