Chapter 292: National Prestige (6)

As Wen Shaodong believed, the Japanese fleet had not yet advanced three or four nautical miles when suddenly the engine trembled, and the ships stopped moving forward and lost power. Such a strange phenomenon appeared again, Yamamoto Yu was shocked, is it really like what the soldiers said, Xue Ru is a fox spirit, a monster, and it is not something that people can resist at all?

From the mouths of the Japanese officers and soldiers who rescued from the salvage, they knew that the reason why Saburo Ohno failed was because the engine suddenly stalled, but before they could figure out the reason, the ship was sunk, and the Japanese army could not know the real reason.

According to the report of the engineer at the time, it seems that the propeller was suddenly entangled, it was a fuel warship, but the Aoba is steam boiler powered, and the four-shaft propulsion has strong horsepower, what can entangle the propeller? At this time, the engine shuddered, but the thrusters did not turn, and the ship that had lost power stopped on the surface of the sea, and with the waves swaying, it could capsize if it did not sink anchor, but stop to check how it could catch up with these French fleets?

At this time, Yamamoto Yu had not yet understood, thinking that the fleet on the sea was the French Navy, which was helping Xue Ru of the Southern Han Dynasty to fight. No one would have imagined that such a warship would be given away, is that a small amount of money? Even if it's not because of money, it's a country's armament, and it's impossible to give it away. But Xue Ru was able to do it, and used tricks and deception threats to take possession of the French navy and air force in Vietnam. What is even more excessive is that it is not announced to the outside world, so that Japan has always thought that the Southern Han Dynasty has nothing but the army. Lost in the first confrontation, that is, the Japanese side did not think that Xue Ru had a navy and air force, and also thought that it was impossible for France to participate in the war, after all, the founding of the Southern Han Dynasty was to seize the French place.

The two sides did not fight, it was the pressure of Germany, otherwise France might have sent troops, so how could France help Nanhan? But what happened, the French air force not only participated in the war, but also the navy, which was completely beyond the calculations of the Japanese army. On the other hand, Japan did not take the French navy and air force seriously at all, but how did they know that these navies and air forces were no longer French troops, but snow fox armies that were as cunning as foxes and full of wit.

Like the army, the tactics were full of tricks, and the plane was actually painted in the colors of the Japanese army, sprayed with the Japanese army markers, and attacked the Japanese airfield, so that the air defense unit of the Japanese airfield thought it was its own plane, and only discovered it when it was attacked, thus losing the ability to fight back. In total, the Southern Army prepared more than 300 planes, and 890 percent of them were destroyed on the ground before they could take off, and several airfields could not be used for a short time.

The Navy is the same, continuing the combat style of the Army, this time it is a tactic that the Japanese army does not understand, why? Those soldiers who escaped death said that Xue Ru was a fox spirit, a goblin, and not a human at all, so Japan couldn't beat Snow Fox at all.

Yamamoto didn't believe this statement at all, but at this time his flagship heavy cruiser Aoba couldn't move, making him believe that it might be true. Feeling a chill in his back, how could a person have beaten a goblin, only Amaterasu, who subdued demons and eliminated demons, could do it.

As a last resort, he ordered the fleet to anchor and stop the ships, and sent water ghosts to the sea to check the reason, but the French naval fleet that had escaped returned, and Yamamoto Uto had no choice but to order a naval bombardment to prevent the battleships from approaching. 150 guns can't hit the heavy cruiser at all, Yamamoto Udu is still very relieved, for those few battleships that can't move, he had to give up, and hold on until the 3rd Fleet arrives, and there are planes to participate in the battle, then these French battleships are waiting to be sunk!

However, Wen Shaodong and the others were also fighting, pinning down the Japanese battleships, constantly attacking the two destroyers and gunboats with artillery fire, and at the same time evading the attacks of the heavy cruisers. As in the same situation as Saburo Ohno, he attacked from a blind spot that could not be reached by Japanese artillery. This is not a coastal battery, just hold the channel, it is on the sea, and it can be attacked on all sides. The gunboats and destroyers were shot one after another and caught fire, and although they did not sink, they also lost their combat effectiveness.

Yamamoto Uto was still very capable, he used the anti-aircraft guns on heavy cruisers and destroyers for close defense, this 127 mm anti-aircraft gun has a range of 20,000 meters, which is not small, and it is also a great threat to gunboats with less than 1,000 tons. The five gunboats didn't dare to get too close, and *it would be useless, as long as they didn't use it*, they really couldn't deal with these warships with Wen Shaodong.

Time passed, and the Japanese finally knew at dawn why they couldn't move. Hundreds of tons of fishing nets were thrown into the sea by the fishing boats last night, and they floated on the sea, and in order to prevent them from being swept away by the waves, they tied ropes to the battleships and laid a circle of fishing nets around the Japanese troops. The Japanese ships moved, stirred up huge currents, and the fishing nets entangled the propellers and made a fart! I had to stop. Once the power of such a large ship is hanged, it is not at all possible to be cleaned up in a short time.

However, after fighting until dawn, Yamamoto Yu was finally relieved, it was not a demon method at all, it seemed that Xue Ru was indeed bad enough, and such an idea could be come up with. Saburo Ohno must have failed like this, it should have been a slow reaction at night and was hit by *.

I was prepared, and it was bright at this time, and the boat could not get close, so I was safe and sound. This made him very proud, as long as the 3rd Fleet arrived, then whether it was Snow Fox or the French Navy, there was no hope of victory at all.

Not long after he was triumphant, the plane that appeared in the sky made it even more happy, and from the telescope, it was the plane of the Imperial Japanese Army. It must have been the surrounding Japanese temporary airfields that sent planes to support them, and it seemed that victory would be achieved without waiting for the naval fleet to arrive.

Just when Yamamoto Yu was happy, the two dozen planes did not attack the French Navy on the opposite side, but flew towards his fleet, making Yamamoto Yu confused for a while, what is this for?

The planes lowered their altitude, flew past his battleship, and returned, and just as the Japanese naval officers and men looked up at the sky, the good-eyed officers and men saw the one that had landed on the Japanese battleship. The planes of the imperial army are dizzy, how can they bomb their own people? The chief of staff was taken aback and shouted: "Commander, that's not an imperial plane, it's a Frenchman Hawker fighter." ”

He shouted Yamamoto Yu also understood, which is a Japanese 95 and 96 aircraft, but there is a sun flag under the wings, angry he shouted "air defense alarm" The Japanese fleet sounded a terrible air defense siren, and the air defense siren sounded at the same time as the air defense siren sounded the sound of an explosion. This is the 2nd Bomber Squadron, receiving a telegram from Wen Shaodong, the Japanese fleet is paralyzed at sea and cannot move, and the 2nd Air Force Bomber Squadron at Ha Long Port Airport took off and rushed here.

Cai Gongyun, the squadron leader on the plane, was very happy, the Japanese warships could not move, so his anti-aircraft artillery fire must be limited, so they attacked in a normal formation, but unfortunately there was no * machine in the Southern Han Dynasty, just an ordinary bomber, the largest * is an ordinary * of 25 kg, which is an anti-personnel bomb for the army, and it poses little threat to the steel battleship.

After two rounds of attacks, one aircraft was lost and one was injured. Cai Gongyun understood why the commander said that the young lady queen repeatedly ordered not to attack hard, the time of the Southern Han Air Force was too short, the pilots had limited experience, and the Southern Han could not afford to lose planes. The tactical approach was first and foremost, and he gave the latest tactical orders to the planes in the sky.

The anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the Japanese battleships rained bullets into the sky to block the bombing of the planes, but they were limited to dealing with the sky, and the Japanese could not take care of Wen Shaodong's fleet on the sea, and the three gunboats approached the fleet under the cover of the aircraft.

However, the armor was very thick, and the Southern Han Air Force, which lacked heavy aviation*, was also unable to suppress the Japanese battleships for a while, making the three gunboats extremely dangerous. Tsai's new tactic was to pull the plane up and hover over the Japanese warship, and it rained. At first, the Japanese naval officers and sailors really thought it was raining! Some people thought it was the sea water splashed by the explosion, but the breeze blew and smelled a smell of gasoline, which made the soldiers who reacted quickly shocked, and twenty planes in the sky sprinkled gasoline on the eight Japanese warships, which fell like rain on the gasoline everywhere, and in a few minutes, before the Japanese army could come up with any way, a burst of machine gun strafing sparks splashed everywhere, and with a bang, the fire engulfed the entire ship, and the Japanese soldiers who fired their guns also had them, and they immediately became burning people, how could they still shoot and shoot, Fell to the ground and rolled to extinguish the fire.

In an instant, the Japanese battleship became a big fireball, completely losing its air defense and naval combat capabilities, and the three gunboats finally entered the attack position without hindrance, and with an order* shot at the Japanese battleship that was on fire, the heavy cruiser Aoba.

The other * flew towards the destroyer Yangfeng, the Japanese couldn't move, and there was nothing they could do about it, and the huge explosion detonated the Yangfeng directly, and it began to sink in a huge explosion, and two * were not wasted and hit the side side of the Aoba.

The heavy * was against such a battleship, and the side armor could not carry it, and when the fourth* hit him, the Aoba began to sink like a big fireball. The battle that began in the early hours of the morning ended in less than an hour and 45 minutes, the Southern Han Navy and Air Force were completely victorious, and Cai Gongyun's plane returned, Wen Shaodong shouted excitedly: "Report to Her Majesty the Queen, the Japanese 2nd Fleet has been completely wiped out, and the naval fleet will return to Haiphong Port." ”

"Crackling" Firecrackers were set off on the streets of Hanoi, whether they were Chinese or Vietnamese, they were all from the Southern Han Dynasty, and the news had just come out that the Southern Han Navy had won a major victory, and all 20 warships of a Japanese detachment, including a heavy cruiser of more than 12,000 tons, were sunk, and the Southern Han Navy won a brilliant victory.

At the same time, the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Army captured and recaptured Haiphong Port, and completely annihilated more than 12,000 Japanese troops, including more than 3,000 prisoners. The Southern Han Air Force lost four planes and wounded seven, the army suffered more than 3,000 casualties, and the navy did not lose a single ship. When the war situation was reported to the world, and the Southern Han Dynasty celebrated jubilantly, the French side was shocked, and at the same time, it was not only France that was shocked, but also the frightened Japan, and some other countries that were puzzled.

"Miss, miss." Gigi Xu ran in, saw Xue Ru standing in fright, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is a telegram, sent by the Chinese side." ”

Xue Ru saw her somewhat frightened expression and smiled: "What's the name different, I like people to call me Miss." ”

Gigi Xu is Xue Ru's secretary, from Tsinghua University in China, studied in the United States, and became Xue Ru's secretary after returning to China. Xue Ru actually wanted to be a service soldier, but Zhang Donglin disagreed, saying that he should pay attention to the influence.

The lesson of Wu Zetian in history, no matter how high the merit is, it is difficult to stop the notoriety of *, so it is better to use girls. ordered the people around Xue Ru that this is the queen of a country, and the rules and etiquette cannot be abolished, otherwise the country and the majesty of the country will be lost. Most of the old snow fox people call Miss Xue Ru in private, at most, Miss Queen, Gigi Xu is also used to being called, and when she is happy, she calls out when she thinks that it is wrong and calls Your Majesty.

Xue Ru didn't care, she always felt that there was a suspicion of spoofing, was it Zhang Donglin and Li Zhengzhou who were playing tricks on themselves, knowing that this was a transition, why were they so serious? It doesn't matter: "What's so happy?" ”

"Look?" Gigi Xu handed over several telegrams, and Xue Ru took them and looked at them with a smile on her face, which made her happier than any victory she had achieved. This is a telegram from within China, including the China Democratic League, the * China Branch, and some mass organizations, congratulating Snow Fox on his victory at Halong Port in Beibu Gulf, washing away a century of shame, and avenging the revenge of the First Sino-Japanese Naval War of that year.

These telegrams do not show that they regard Xue Ru as a country. In fact, within the Southern Han Dynasty, not many people regarded the Southern Han Dynasty as an independent country. They see the Southern Han as a region of the Han nation and still regard themselves as Chinese.

Xue Ru is not the same, these congratulatory telegrams are her happiest, when the battle of Dadonggou came to an end, when the Jiyuan and Zhenyuan sank, the hearts of the Chinese also sank. In later generations, Xue Ru wished that she could hear the sound of naval guns in the East China Sea and send those Japanese Defense Force ships cruising on the Diaoyu Islands into the sea, but she knew that it was impossible.

Today, she finally commanded the army to realize the wish of the Chinese for a hundred years, which made her excited and her eyes moistened. Xue Ru remembered the word she didn't want to hear the most, many people always say that a hundred-year dream, Xue Ru didn't say so, a dream is a dream, and what can never be realized is called a dream, it's just a dream, it's a fantasy. What can really be realized is the ideal, and the elimination of the devils and the defeat of Japan are the ideals and aspirations of the Chinese people, and they will also work hard for this ideal.

Xiao Yong is right, the War of Resistance is all Xue Ru is all about, everything to her. After the excitement, Xue Ru calmed down, this is the first step in the Long March, which is relatively powerful compared to Japan's navy, and the warships that have been destroyed are a drop in the bucket. Of the thirty-eight heavy cruisers, the Aoba was just one of them, as well as the super-giant battleships, the huge aircraft carriers that claimed to be the first in the world, the destroyers that crossed the river, the millions of Japanese troops, and thousands of aircraft.

The Japanese 3rd Fleet, consisting of 20 warships and one aircraft carrier, was probably already in the Gulf of Tonkin at this time, and there were two divisions that had been assembled. But after this battle, the combat effectiveness of the Southern Han Dynasty has also dropped several times, what should I do next?

Xue Ru said to Gigi Xu: "Inform Director Liu, send a report to Taylor, and ask him to drive the fleet into Haiphong Port." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty" Gigi Xu agreed, Xue Ru glared at her, and Gigi Xu stuck out her tongue and ran out. Xue Ru stared at the leaves outside the window, she didn't know what to do next, it was an aircraft carrier formation with aircraft, how should the Southern Han fight in its current form? It seems that we have to find everyone to discuss together, and the three stinkers will top one Zhuge Liang!
