Chapter 193: Sino-Japanese War (5)

April B, Republic 254 (1913), Shanghai, East China Military Region Front Headquarters.

At present, the East China Military Region is mainly engaged in naval and air battles, and the navy accounts for the majority, and Wang Tiezhu, commander-in-chief of the navy, is personally in charge of the front-line command and directs this operation against the combined fleet.

"Damn, these little Japanese devils are really arrogant, they think that they can eat our Shanghai Temporary Fleet with just a few broken ships. Even if our planes can't be dispatched, there are submarines and shore artillery ......"

To say that the most depressed person in China now is undoubtedly Admiral Wang Tiehammer, commander-in-chief of the navy, who clearly planned a well-planned strangulation operation, but was stirred up by the brains of the Japanese. I have to say that this is also the lack of experience of the Chinese side in fighting the Japanese, and they have already followed the reaction of the second middle in formulating the battle plan, but they did not expect that the middle two of the Japanese completely exceeded their imagination.

Although extremely depressed, Mr. Wang had to admit that the character of the Japanese was really good this time, and their brain-opening second action just avoided the trap carefully set by China.

"Soul is faint, do they think they are the British home fleet? How can they dare to divide their forces under such circumstances?" said Wang Tiehammer through gritted teeth. Now Commander-in-Chief Wang has a kind of anger that he is despised, despised and ignored.

Although the Shanghai temporary task force is all second-hand ships bought from Britain, France, the United States and Italy, the ships of your little devil are not new except for the two Hanoi-class. Moreover, China still relied on this coastal fortress and airfield for defense, but in this way, the Japanese dared to divide their forces in a big way, and only sent a third fleet over, which was too contemptuous of people.

However, since receiving the news from the meteorological station, Wang Tiezhu didn't know what to say.

This tropical storm is undoubtedly too inopportune, and it is hard to say how much of a role the pit dug for the little devils can now use, and God knows how long this storm will last. Although China's aircraft is the first in the world, it is equivalent to the level of the early and mid-3s of the original time and space. It would be too difficult for an aircraft of this level to brave a seven-level gale and a torrential rain. Aircraft that can remain operational in such climatic conditions, not to mention the technology of the 3 years, and even the technology of the early 21st century is very reluctant.

"Jingle bell...... Jingle bell ......" At this time, the contact software of the light brain screen in front of Wang Tiezhu sounded a prompt tone. At present, the equipment of the era brought by these crossings is only configured by these main responsible persons, and they can all be used in secret places.

Wang Tiehammer saw that it was Mr. Wen's number. Hurriedly clicked on the screen, and a video box popped up.

Wen Desi appeared on the screen and said to him: "Hammer, now that the climate has changed, the plane may not be able to dispatch, so are you still sure?"

Wang Tiezhu hurriedly said: "No problem, Mr. Wen." We have a plan in place, and we have taken this situation into account. It's just that compared to the first plan of almost non-destructive annihilation of the opponent, the losses of the reserve plan will be somewhat larger. However, it is guaranteed that the total annihilation ......"

Wen Deji nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll be relieved." I give you permission to use all the forces of the East China Military Region to strive to annihilate the Japanese Third Fleet, or at least most of it. As for the losses, there is nothing to lose, how can there be no losses in a war, as long as the losses of personnel are controlled, the loss of equipment does not matter......"

"Yes, please rest assured," Wang Tiehammer said confidently. Since Mr. Wen said so, it doesn't matter.

Of course, there is more than one battle plan this time, and the formulation of the battle plan must take into account a variety of possible situations, which is a normal army, for example, in this war, the navy alone has drawn up dozens of plans. As for the Second Central Army, like Japan, which thinks that the enemy will definitely act according to its own plan, it is still very rare on this planet. It's not uncommon for planes to be unable to make sorties, and if they can't even think about it, those staff officers can go find a piece of tofu and kill it.

Although the Chinese People's Liberation Army on this plane has only been established for a few years, thanks to the information of later generations, their experience is at least hundreds of years longer than that of their opponents at this time, and it is completely a mature army. It can only be said that compared with the best plan originally implemented, the other backup plans have some shortcomings of one kind or another, or the results are less, or the losses are larger.

It's a big deal to put them on the shore and let them taste torpedo night, torpedoes don't have to be fired on ships and planes, and there are also torpedo firing devices on shore defense batteries. Well, the torpedo is a bit more expensive, especially now that China's guided heavy anti-ship torpedo, a "Yu-1" torpedo costs more than 20,000 yuan, which is more expensive than five J-2 "Raven" fighters. But Mr. Wen said that the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem, even if it is smashed with money, the Third Fleet will be stoned to death.

As for the Taiwan side, there is no need to worry, even if they can't dispatch airships, two Fuxi-class ships will be enough to deal with them. Dreadnoughts and former dreadnoughts are completely two conceptual weapons, and they cannot be compensated for by that number, but the Japanese do not know this, or they pretend not to know.

Therefore, now Commander-in-Chief Wang is not worried about whether he can win the combined fleet, but is worried about how to completely annihilate the opponent, because the combined fleet has divided its forces with a big brain.

After thinking about it, he connected to the Shanghai Temporary Task Force: "Zhang Minghui?

"Mr. Wang, the situation is normal. Just now, the reconnaissance submarine reported that the Japanese Third Fleet continued to advance in the direction of Shanghai. Zhang Minghui reported.

Wang Tiehammer ordered: "You first follow Plan B and try a dozen." Pay attention to casualties, and if it is not easy to fight, immediately implement plan No. 2. Mr. Wen has instructions, don't be afraid of losing equipment, don't be afraid of spending money, people are the most important thing, these officers and soldiers are our seeds, and we can't lose too much......"

"Yes, Mr. Wang......"

Immediately, Wang Tiehammer connected to the Pacific Task Force again: "Gao Yujie, where are you now?"

"Mr. Wang, we are now in the waters of Taichung, and we are shelling the local defenders......" Gao Yujie replied.

"The main Japanese fleet will arrive in the southern waters of the Ryukyus on the night of the 9th, and I will stop them and not allow them to disturb the battle of Noboru 6. According to plan No. 15, strive for annihilation, and if they can't be annihilated, entangle them. The Meteorological Observatory said that the storm was relatively short, and it would end about the morning of the 11th, and you know what to do......"

"Yes, Mr. Wang, promise to complete the task"

April 9, p.m., Zhoushan Sea.

At this time, the tropical storm has arrived, and with strong winds comes a downpour. About 1oo kilometers east of the port of Zhoushan, a fleet flying the flag of the rising sun was sailing towards Shanghai in the face of a violent storm.

This is the Third Fleet of the Japanese Combined Fleet, which was originally only a feint force, and was ordered to go to Shanghai to contain the "second-hand" fleet of the Chinese Navy, and to seek an opportunity to destroy the three dreadnoughts in the Jiangnan Shipbuilding. Yes, their main task is to "diversion" and not a decisive battle, attracting the attention of the Chinese side.

Although most of the spy networks they had operated in China for many years were destroyed, there were still some lucky ones left, or rather deliberately left by the Central Social Affairs Department. In addition, there is a lot of information that is in the open, and there is no need for professional spies to risk their lives to obtain it. For example, China has deployed a large number of large-caliber shore guns, massive torpedo boats, and a large number of military planes in Shanghai and Zhoushan.

Although the Japanese Navy is very confident in its combat effectiveness, it still has a feeling that it has nowhere to go in the face of the hedgehog-like Shanghai coastal defense system. Although the Japanese are in the second grade, they are not stupid, and they will not do the kind of thing that is obviously sent to death.

Well, there are still such things as sending them to death, but they are all 6th Army Baga full of horse manure, and the cold and noble Imperial Japanese Navy will not be able to do such a stupid thing. Therefore, the Third Fleet was only planning to make a feint off the coast of Shanghai at first, so the ships they were equipped with were all old warships that were more than ten years old and warships captured in the Russo-Japanese War.

However, tropical storms brought good news. Because of the raging storm, in the past few days, even if the air power, China's biggest trump card, is abolished, most of those disgusting torpedo boats will also be abolished, at least those small points of tens of tons or hundreds of tons will not be able to go to sea, and although those larger torpedo boats can still go to sea to fight, but in this sea condition, the hit rate of torpedoes will be reduced to unacceptable (at least this is the case with Japanese torpedoes).

As a result, the commander of the Third Fleet, Gentaro Yamashita, changed his mind and decided to take advantage of this rare opportunity to have a decisive battle with China's Shanghai Temporary Task Force. He was very confident that without the help of such disgusting things as airplanes and torpedo boats, China's infant fleet would never be a match for the mighty Japanese Navy. At the same time, he also planned to take the opportunity to occupy the Jiangnan Plant and capture three dreadnoughts after annihilating the Shanghai fleet. Well, the one that just started work is not easy to take away, just destroy it.

Just when Yamashita Gentaro was full of ambition, about 2 kilometers to the left of the Third Fleet's platoon, there was a black pipe that was sticking out of the water more than a meter high, and was advancing alongside the Japanese fleet. If you look closely, there is more than one such pipe, and around the Japanese fleet, there are a total of such pipes as the UF.

If it were a normal daytime, these tubes that could run on their own might be seen by Japanese lookouts who "could see the stars in the daytime", because they would not only run, but also emit a faint smoke. But in the current situation of low black clouds, high winds and waves, and heavy rain, it is too difficult to find these pipes.
