463 Total collapse is imminent

"This requires Makino-kun to work hard, and it is better to be able to make this weapon fly to the target on its own. Of course, it is imperative to hurry into battle. Yamamoto dusted off his cigarette ash and seemed to be indifferent, it was cost-effective to use a pilot to send an enemy warship to the bottom of the sea, and it was unwise to cling to strange future values and escape from reality. In the recent naval battle, he lost 45 excellent pilots, and each of the enemy's ships was wounded, but unfortunately the weak power of the dive bombers was really difficult to complete the final blow and send the enemy to the bottom of the sea. The V1* drawings provided by the Germans show that this kind of thing is actually a small plane flying at high speed, which can carry a warhead close to a ton, and the route is controlled by a clumsy autopilot, and if you can have a die-hard pilot control a tonne warhead, it is simply an unbeatable combination.

"Also, there is one more thing, I want to present it to the commander."

"Oh?"

"I was instructed to participate in the investigation of the survivors of the Canglong, and from the testimony, all 13 people did not hear the sound of the plane approaching before the explosion."

"What's so strange about that? * Attacks will not move"

"But Ensign Okura, who was on duty in the hangar at the time, said that the first explosion began above the waterline, about near the bow, a few seconds later, and the second near the central ammunition depot."

"This shows that the enemy used ramming tactics, and it was a twin plane that took off from a nearby island, so there is no need for us to tie our hands and feet in the special attack, compared to hitting the plane, hehe, we will accompany us to the end." Onishi said.

But isn't that a contradiction? If it's an airplane, why isn't movement heard? If it is *, apparently the explosion should be below the waterline. ”

Onishi looked at Makino directly, not fully understanding his words.

"I mean, if it's a hypersonic weapon attacking from the sky, the people on the ship can't hear it."

"The survivor's words can't be taken seriously. I remember the Battle of Tsushima, I was also a second lieutenant candidate, and I don't remember the situation before and after being hit at all, and I don't even know the pain ......" Yamamoto smiled and waved his right hand, and he could see that two fingers were missing, and Makino's tangled parts were all insignificant in his opinion. He disagreed with the assumptions that Makino God was talking about, and in his opinion, if a thing that Makino was suspicious of, it was unlikely that it would not be exposed. However, he also fully supported Makino's submarine hunting program, mainly to study those magical* in passing, because it is said that they also have anti-ship capabilities.

"Yes, Makino-kun, the five seaplanes that were modified according to your requirements have not been gained, and two have already been lost in order to carry out a low-altitude search near the battlefield." Onishi added that what he said was all true, and that in order to search for possible submarines near the naval theater according to Makino's intentions, several stupid seaplanes had to wander around the area where the two sides were fighting, and as a result, one was shot down by the Australian Navy, and the other hit the surface of the sea with its wing, and the Navy arrived in time to save one*, but the damage was not insignificant. Now there are only three of those precious * left.

"I think we could have been a little bit more purposeful." Makino said.

"Purposeful?"

"Yes. I studied the whole process of the sinking of the Soryu, when the fog was thick and the fleet implemented strict light control, knowing that the fog would disrupt the observation of aircraft and submarines, and only modern perception capabilities would be able to capture the target. ”

"According to Chief Yamaguchi, there was a brief light at that time, in order to prevent the fleet from being confused when turning." Onishi added.

"Well, I know this detail as well, and I would say that if that opponent exists, he is looking for absolute concealment, and he is very careful in choosing his timing and targets, but he doesn't target low-value targets."

Yamamoto shook his head helplessly and continued listening.

"So, I think he'll keep an eye on the Wyvern as it returns instead of continuing to wander around the other warships. This is because the Wyvern is returning home, and there won't be many sightings left around, which I think is a very reasonable guess. ”

"What are you going to do, just talk to Onishi, and I'll support you." Yamamoto nodded tolerantly, as if he didn't expect to get any results, but just indulged Makino to toss as he pleased, in order to reap a favor.

Makino didn't like Yamamoto's attitude, as if he was a wayward madman, but it was useless to say more at the moment. He already had a plan, which was to send seaplanes to escort the Wyvern, focusing on the left side of the Wyvern's tilt. It sounded silly, but it seemed to him that it would be the most efficient way to do it, if that submarine really existed. Of course, he doesn't think much about the chances of capturing the target with a magnetic detector, after all, in the future, secondary detection is only a secondary means, but at least, if the submarine rashly launches some weapons, and the seaplane is on the side, he will see the process of the weapon flying.

Cheng Dayang, who was sailing underwater, was sailing westward, and he decided to annihilate another important target on the way back to Burma to meet the special team, so as to accomplish the goal of "gradually decreasing" the strength of the Japanese army, and the so-called important target was naturally an aircraft carrier. In fact, the Japanese battleships and other capital ships were not in his sights, and the last attack, what he tried to avoid in every possible way was to hit the heavy cruise.

Looking at the situation, the aircraft carrier Fengxiang, which was slightly injured, was going to the Caroline Islands, and was obviously ready to use the slipway there for simple repairs, and there were only 2 destroyers to escort it, and the ocean was not interested in this aircraft carrier of less than 10,000 tons. He continues to track the Wyvern, and destroying the Wyvern means taking out an entire team of enemies. And the pilots on the Wyvern are more experienced, and the several bomb drops that sank the Wasp were carried out by the pilots of the second warframe, and from this point of view, the pilots are far more priority targets than the platform.

But how to attack is still a difficult problem, and after he is convinced that the task force will most likely lose key equipment, which may cause exposure, what worries him the most is the concealment problem on his side. If the attack is skillful, it seems that there is no need to invest too many weapons, after all, the wyvern is injured.

At the moment the ship is tilted to one side, and the interior has been balanced with two intakes, and the reserve buoyancy is seriously insufficient. Just sprinkle a handful of salt on the wound and you can take out the aircraft carrier, along with the pilots on it.

Due to the sloping deck and the wound in the middle, it can be judged that it is impossible for the ship to take off fighters, and it seems that it can again carry out an attack at night with *, saving precious *, and the direction of attack is naturally inclining. The number was reduced to two, which was the result of Shuping's calculations.

Of course, there was no longer a heavy fog to take advantage of, so Cheng Dayang made a plan by himself, first deliberately exposing the periscope and pretending to be a US submarine to attract the attention of the enemy's escort destroyer to the starboard side of the Flying Dragon, and then using the speed of 419 to throw off the enemy destroyer, quickly pass through the Flying Dragon route, occupy an inclined port position, and sink the aircraft carrier with lightning speed. Success or failure depends on how far the enemy destroyer will be lured away.

The political commissar and Shu Ping thought that the plan was feasible, although the action was a bit big, but it could be really an attack by the US Navy, and the US submarine did send out from Australia in an attempt to intercept the flying dragon, but this year, it was necessary to rely on luck to hit the big prey, unless it was blocked near the port or the battlefield, otherwise the possibility of encountering it on the vast sea was too small.

In northern Burma, Lin Xiuxuan's first wedge had already hit behind the Japanese pursuers, and he and Tao Mingzhang were on the top of the mountain, watching the Japanese army hastily occupy the road and go north. Now the battalion cannot continue to maneuver unnecessarily, lest it expose itself, and in fact, this road is the last place in northern Myanmar where mechanized troops can operate.

For the troops, continue to use deception tactics, informing them that Commander Chu is still in the ranks, and of course concealing that he has penetrated deep behind enemy lines. Just send a small force to the vicinity to collect supplies scattered by the Allied forces all over the road. There were several skirmishes between the small forces and the Japanese army, but the Japanese did not care if they thought it was the skirmishers of the expeditionary force who had not had time to escape, and did not leave any excess troops to clear here, and it was obvious that these skirmishers would starve to death in the surrounding mountains without fighting.

Ma Qiang, Xu Chong, Qin Xiaosu and other four people set off to the north, preparing to respond to Chu Tingchang's plan to solve Du Yuming, Luo Zhuoying was quite prescient, and ran away with Stilwell, and he can't be contacted at present, except for Du Yuming in the army, the highest position is Lieutenant General Dai Anlan, once Du Yuming is eliminated, the command power and responsibility will fall on him. The 200th Division fought several times in a row with the pursuing Japanese army, and there were victories and defeats against each other, and Dai was a person who was more aware of the current situation and should know where the way to survive was.

The four of them hid their unnecessary equipment and walked through the jungle to see groups of Japanese troops approaching around Myitkyina. The main force of the Japanese army was deployed on the west side of Myitkyina, guarding against the expeditionary force moving westward, but Iida's worries were clearly redundant again.

On May 5, the expeditionary force finally lost the courage to fight a decisive battle here, and decided to continue north, because Du Yuming had recently heard that there was a place in the upper reaches of a tributary of the Xitang River called Sunbrabeg. There seemed to be a way to the north, into Chayu. I also heard that the temple there is rich, and there are tens of thousands of catties of barley stored at any time.

He was bent on getting rid of the Japanese and trying in vain to drag down the Japanese army by relying on the mountains, of course, whether he would drag himself down before that, he did not allow him to think carefully.

North of Myitkyina, there are no roads left. The expeditionary force was in the north of the city and began to burn the last vehicles and equipment that could not be taken away. Those British Soviet-made tank cannons were filled up* and blown up into the sky, and a large amount of fuel was burned. The Japanese pursuing troops, seeing the black smoke rushing ahead and the thunderous explosions of the summer night, were also shocked and had to suspend the attack, marching day and night, with only a pitiful amount of firepower in their hands, which was not at all comparable to those destroyed, and they did not dare to approach Myitkyina until the Chinese themselves blew them up. The 150 heavy * guns of the artillery regiment and the No. 1 tank of the tank regiment all started from Songhu and went all the way to here, but they were easily destroyed.

No one in the command headquarters reminded Du Yuming of the fact that the thousands of wounded in the field hospital could not be taken away without a vehicle, of course, there was no need to remind him; Two days ago, after he went east to look for the so-called Wuhou Seven Expedition Meng Shu's ancient road dream and was doused with a basin of cold water, he knew very well that something like this would definitely happen next.

Chu Tingchang couldn't prevent the equipment from being blown up, so he could only wait for foreign aid to arrive, he couldn't kill Du Yuming quietly, even if he had the opportunity to be alone with the military seat, he couldn't do it.

The Japanese army came too fast, and it seemed that Ma Qiang and them were being held back. From time to time, he had to shuttle between Dai Anlan and Liao Yaoxiang's troops to learn about the enemy situation and try to gain contact, but after the relay equipment was destroyed on its own, it became difficult for him to communicate with the rest of the mountain, and the further north he went, the higher the mountain.

He came to the headquarters of the new 22nd Division, Liao Yaoxiang was scolding Sun Liren and Luo Zhuoying, and followed the Americans to the west, Sun Liren was currently fighting with the 31st Division, preparing to fight to the death.
