In the calm Shanghai Naval Port, as dozens of 10,000-ton transport ships slowly left the naval port, more than 300,000 elite members of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, including all heavy equipment, had all boarded the ship. At this moment, a destroyer slowly sailed away.
Slowly driving into the pier, Navy Commander Chen Shaokuan walked over quickly, saluted, and reported excitedly.
"Report to the Vice Chairman, Navy Commander Chen Shaokuan was ordered to report and ask the Vice Chairman to come on board..."
"Haha, Commander Chen, there is no vice chairman here, only the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force... Now that we are here, let's get on the ship first..." Liu Hua said with a smile.
"Yes, let's get on the ship first... After we get on the ship, I will report to the Commander-in-Chief the status of the various ships dispatched by the navy this time..." Chen Shaokuan quickly replied.
In the operation room of the American medium-sized aircraft carrier directly named "Beijing", Navy Commander Chen Shaokuan was excitedly introducing the naval ships that were accompanying the army on this expedition.
You must know that this sortie is the largest sortie since the establishment of the Chinese Navy, and it is also a foreign war. Navy Commander Chen Shaokuan, who has always held the shame of the bloody Sino-Japanese War, learned that the target of this sortie turned out to be an old rival.
When I came to Japan, my excitement never relaxed...
Standing in the huge war room, Chen Shaokuan pointed at the various marks on the chart and introduced.
"Commander-in-Chief, in accordance with your combat instructions, our navy has dispatched a total of one medium-sized aircraft carrier this time, including 80 carrier-based aircraft. Three light cruisers will escort the aircraft carrier to the left and right to ensure the safety of the aircraft carrier. 18 destroyers will patrol in scattered directions.
Surround the ten transport ships and protect the safety of these transport ships... As for the rest, they include fifty landing craft, three minesweepers, and 24 of the latest gunboats capable of ocean navigation..."
"In addition, Commander-in-Chief, these ships are already the largest fleet that our Chinese Navy can handle. Therefore, if we want more, it is no longer possible unless we are willing to give up the long domestic coastal defense line and demolish the east wall to repair the west wall.
." Chen Shaokuan said.
"I, Liu Hua, am not that stupid to give up the defense line. No matter how important this attack on the Japanese mainland is, it cannot compare with the security of our coastal defense line. However, Commander Chen, even so, I still have to ask you a serious question
, with the existing ships of our naval force, can we block the suicide attacks and air strikes that the Japanese army may launch. After all, Japan no longer has a naval force that can compete with us. The only thing that can be used is the local navy.
Air Force..." Liu Hua shook his head and asked straight to the point.
"this…."
In the command room, under everyone's gaze, Chen Shaokuan spoke again: "Because the commander-in-chief has already explained in advance. Before the navy went out, it specially strengthened the air defense capabilities of each ship. As far as the current air defense capabilities of each ship are concerned, it is sufficient.
It is more than twice the original number. What is more important is that we also carry an entire regiment of anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns on each transport ship... I can definitely tell you that every ship that attacked the Japanese mainland this time included what
The bloated transport ships were all armed and became inaccessible hedgehogs for the Japanese air force..."
"Well, with your words, I feel relieved... Comrades, half an hour ago, I have received a telegram from the Chairman. The Chairman and other heads of the Central Committee have sent telegrams to wish me the Chinese Expeditionary Force in advance.
We will achieve victory in this attack. So, here I hope that everyone will not let down the trust of the leaders..."
Seeing the serious faces of the people, Liu Hua directly ordered in the name of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force with a majestic look: "Now I order the Chinese Expeditionary Force to attack immediately. The target is Tokyo Bay, Japan, and set off..."
"Dududu..." As soon as Liu Hua finished speaking, a long whistle sounded in the silent military port.
The huge fleet headed by the "Beijing", carrying hundreds of thousands of elites of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, carrying the hope of the Chinese people, and the hope of the entire Allied Powers, slowly sailed away from the dock and disappeared into the still dark sea...
Hundreds of thousands of Chinese Expeditionary Forces suddenly disappeared, and a large number of warships left Shanghai Naval Port and disappeared on the vast sea. It is impossible to hide such a big thing from the eyes of Japanese intelligence personnel. With the continuous deployment of Japanese intelligence forces in Shanghai
During the operation, the news that the Chinese Expeditionary Force sent troops to the Japanese mainland was finally transmitted to the local intelligence department through radio waves.
At the General Staff Headquarters in Tokyo, Japan, the tired Prime Minister Hideki Tojo was just about to finish his work for the day. A panicked sound came from the direction of the telecommunications room. Following closely, the slightly panicked figure of Deputy Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Fujita,
Just appeared in front of him.
"Toshi Fujita, what's going on?"
"It's China, the Chinese Expeditionary Force... The Shanghai Intelligence Office just heard the information. Hundreds of thousands of elites of the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the elites of the Chinese Navy have left the Shanghai Navy Port two hours ago... According to intelligence personnel who are deep inside China.
The information released shows that the target of the Chinese Expeditionary Force is none other than the mainland of the Japanese Empire..." Lieutenant General Fujita replied in silence.
"Nani... you mean that the Chinese Expeditionary Force has sent troops to attack the mainland of the Japanese Empire... How is it possible? When will the Chinese Army have the ability to fight across the sea..." Tojo Hideki looked incredulous.
asked rhetorically.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you are guilty of underestimating your position..." Faced with Tojo Hideki's murderous question, Lieutenant General Fujita's face turned pale again and he hurriedly said.
"Tell me, what's going on..." At this moment, Tojo Hideki didn't want to hold anyone responsible. He just wanted to know the reasons and asked directly.
"Ha Yi...According to the intelligence regularly sent by our intelligence station in Shanghai, a huge American fleet appeared at the Shanghai Naval Port a week ago. And less than a day after the fleet appeared, a large number of American aircraft, tanks, and artillery
, have successively equipped the 300,000 Chinese Expeditionary Force in the Shanghai area. Of course, in addition to these heavy equipment, those joining the People's Liberation Army include a medium-sized aircraft carrier, three cruisers, and dozens of destroyers...
..”
"Because at that time, our Japanese troops stationed in Korea were suddenly attacked by the Chinese Northeast Expeditionary Force, and the strength of the domestic rebels became stronger and stronger. In addition, even if the Chinese *** team was fully equipped with these heavy weapons, it would still require a large number of people to adapt and form combat effectiveness.
time. In order not to distract you, Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I made my own decision and suppressed this information..."
"It's just that what I didn't expect was that in just one week of adaptability training, the Chinese Expeditionary Force had already mastered these American equipment and put them into actual combat against the mainland of our Empire of Japan..."
Seeing the panic-stricken Lieutenant General Fujita in front of him, Tojo Hideki was angry in his heart, but at this moment, he had no way to express it. After all, things had happened, and Lieutenant General Fujita in front of him was also doing it for himself.
Thinking about it. After letting out a long sigh, Tojo Hideki said helplessly.
"That's all... Fujita Jun, since what happened has happened, there is no need to pursue the responsibility... The Chinese Expeditionary Force is coming towards our homeland in a mighty manner, and we still don't know its final target. So,
Our immediate priority now is to figure out the landing target of the Chinese Expeditionary Force and discover their fleet..."
"Ha Yi, your Excellency the Prime Minister is wise..."
"I will immediately send orders to mobilize all available intelligence forces to detect the specific attack targets of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. At the same time, use all domestic ships and reconnaissance aircraft to detect all routes from China to Japan. Once the Chinese Expeditionary Force is discovered,
The military fleet will report immediately..." Lieutenant General Fujita replied confidently with the intention of making meritorious service.
"Yo Xi, your deployment is very good. However, this alone is not enough. While detecting the enemy's situation, our coastal defense lines must also be reinforced. Only if our own defense is strong enough, even if the Chinese Expeditionary Force comes, we
It’s not something to be afraid of…” Tojo Hideki reminded.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, what do you mean..."
"The best battlefield to eliminate the Chinese Expeditionary Force is not the coastal defense line, but the offshore waters of the Empire of Japan. As for the navy, because the Imperial Japanese Combined Fleet cannot return to support, there are basically no ships that can go to war. However, don't forget, the entire empire
Along the coastal defense lines, we have deployed a large number of naval fortress artillery at any location suitable for large-scale landings. At the same time, our Empire of Japan also has a large-scale air force..." Tojo Hideki said directly.
"Air force...how is it possible..."
It must be clear that for the sake of victory in the Pacific battlefield, and because Japan has never been attacked before, the entire Japanese aviation force is fully equipped with only one aviation division. Now when I hear Tojo Hideki's words, I can't help but
He was surprised and puzzled….
"It is true that there is only one division of the active aviation force, but there are still more than 5,000 retired fighters in the country. If we load all these fighters with bombs and launch a large-scale suicide attack on the Chinese fleet, what do you think?
, what will be the outcome of the Chinese Expeditionary Force... Therefore, while we are deploying defense, we must immediately set up this special agent team. Its name is called 'Kamikaze Special Agent Team', which is specially used to attack the Chinese fleet.
A suicide attack." Tojo Hideki said with a murderous look on his face...
"Kamikaze agents, suicide attacks, more than 5,000 combat aircraft loaded with bombs..." Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Fujita's mind immediately emerged with a scary scene...
