Chapter 558 The Japanese fleet is coming

The lease of Jeju Island was finally completed. Jiang Dongyeol used the radio to discuss with Kim Yingshan, the anti-Japanese coalition force in North Korea for two days, and finally agreed. After all, for Jin Yingshan and the others, whether it was to drive away the Japanese and allow North Korea to become independent or to form a government, it was

This is a very distant matter. It is most practical to agree to come down now and get help first.

After thinking about it, on July 7th, Jiang Donglie finally signed an aid clause with Su Rui. Under this aid clause, Su Rui used airdrops or sea transportation to assist the Korean Anti-Japanese Alliance in the name of the Fourth Theater.

Three thousand Mauser rifles, three hundred MP38 submachine guns and one hundred Maxim machine guns as well as a certain amount of food and clothing. Subsequent assistance will be determined depending on the situation, and the Korean Anti-Japanese Alliance promised to concession Jeju Island after gaining power.

China, and after the war, China also had priority exploration and mining rights to North Korea's mineral deposits.

On the surface, this treaty seems to be full of loopholes and very unreliable. After all, Su Rui signed the agreement with Jiang Dongyeol in the name of the Fourth War Zone and not in the name of the central government, so there will be more variables in the future.

, if North Korea wants to deny it, it will easily find an excuse.

But Suri doesn't care, because he just needs a name to enter North Korea in the future. This agreement is enough. After all, it is strength, not an agreement, that can speak in the end. And in Suri

After signing this agreement with Jiang Donglie, he looked at Jiang Donglie who was in high spirits. While smiling on his face, he also thought to himself: "It's time for the Japanese fleet to support the second and third divisions, right? That's right.

It’s time to let them know how powerful we are..."

The weather will be fine at 10 a.m. on July 7

On sunny days, the sea always looks extraordinarily gentle. It is like a passionate girl, shyly showing her charming and gentle side to people. The waves sway gently, as if the girl's gentle hands are caressing her lover's hand.

face.

Lieutenant General Endo Kiichi, commander of the First Task Force, stood in the command room of the Akagi, looking at the Soryu and Taiho aircraft carriers sailing on both sides of the Akagi, as well as more than a dozen destroyers and sixteen large transport ships around them.

, not only was there no trace of contentment and joy in his heart, but instead there was a hint of melancholy.

In fact, Kiichi Endo doesn't agree with this voyage to rescue the Japanese troops trapped in Fuzhou, because the cost of this operation is too great. Others don't know, but Kiichi Endo knows very well. Don't look at Japan now.

The Navy is known as the third largest navy in the world, but it knows how much water there is in this third largest navy.

In the eyes of outsiders, the aircraft carrier formation looks very impressive when it is launched. Most people will only see its majesty when they see it. But as the saying goes, an outsider can only see the excitement and an expert can judge the door. This aircraft carrier formation looks like an aircraft carrier and an aircraft carrier at the same time.

Battleships seem to be very majestic, but in fact the fuel consumed by an aircraft carrier formation is very staggering. The fuel consumed per hour can be calculated in tons, plus the fleet's weapons, aircraft maintenance and

All kinds of supplies and other provisions, the materials consumed have gone to the sea, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the navy is a gold-eating beast.

As a barren island nation, Japan has maintained a navy known as the third largest in the world. The amount of national power consumed during this process is imaginable. Therefore, despite the fact that most of Japan's annual military expenditures are allocated to the navy, those naval generals

They still have to live a careful life. Just like this operation to rescue the 2nd and 3rd Division, many naval generals disapproved of it. But in the face of the direct command from the base camp, they still had no choice but to succumb.

Shaking his head vigorously and trying to put away the distracting thoughts in his mind, Lieutenant General Endo Kiichi said to Fleet Chief of Staff Ugaki Matoi who had been standing behind him: "Ugaki-kun, we last contacted the 2nd and 3rd Division.

When is the time?”

Ugaki Matoi said without thinking: "The last time we contacted Fuzhou was two hours ago. Secondly, the regiment leader Yoshimoto Teiichi said that their situation was very bad. Just last night they had just repelled the Chinese attack.

A large-scale attack, now they only have more than 20,000 troops who can fight. And there are only more than 16,000 troops who can fight. Moreover, they are short of clothes and ammunition, and the morale of the troops is extremely low."

Endo Kiichi sighed softly and said: "It sounds like their situation is not optimistic. Although I have never learned infantry tactics, but based on this situation, it seems that they can last for up to three days without support.

"What we can do now is to rush to Fuzhou as soon as possible to pick them out." At this point, Endo Kiichi's voice also became very low. Although the internal fighting between the Japanese army and navy was very fierce, it stands to reason that hearing

They should be happy that the two most elite divisions of the army were beaten so badly, but when they think about these two divisions that were supposed to have 60,000 elite troops, they have now been beaten to only more than 20,000 people. Even if they are

No matter how fiercely they fight, they can't help but feel sad that the rabbit is dead and the fox is dead.

Yu Huanquan didn't think so much. He thought for a while and then said: "Your Excellency, Commander, if everything goes well, we can arrive in Fuzhou tonight, so that we can pick up the 2nd and 3rd Division under the cover of night."

Come out and leave here as soon as it gets dark, otherwise we will be in trouble when the Chinese plane arrives at dawn."

When it comes to the aircraft in the Fourth Theater, even the Japanese Navy, which has always claimed to be proud, changes its expression. In recent years, both the Japanese Army Aviation and Hainan Airlines have suffered too many losses in their hands.

Although Japan relied on its own efforts to replenish Sun Hao's flying force, Japan's aircraft and pilots were not brought by strong winds, especially the rapid attrition of pilots, which even Japan's talent reserve felt strained. Especially

Hainan Airlines has always pursued an elite policy. Their naval pilots are much higher than those of Army Airlines in terms of experience and quality. However, it is more difficult to replenish personnel, so the Navy is most distressed by the loss of personnel.

Endo Kiichi calculated it in his mind. Now the three aircraft carriers he brought, Chicheng, Kaga and Gale, have a total of more than 200 carrier-based aircraft, including about 150 fighter jets. If it is compared with China

If a human being is encountered, as long as large-scale air battles occur from time to time, the fighter planes in his hands can still ensure the safety of the fleet.

Thinking of this, Endo Kiichi said: "This is indeed a problem, but I don't think that the 2nd and 3rd Divisions can all be withdrawn in one night. After all, the Chinese have surrounded them on three sides. What do they have?

Abnormalities are easily noticed by Chinese people, which makes it difficult to tell."

Yu Huanquan said fiercely: "We can withdraw as much as we can. After all, we can't take risks with the empire's precious battleships for those 'mud-legged' people."

"Well, that's true." Although Endo Kiichi couldn't bear it, he still agreed with Yu Huanmao's words. After all, Japan is an island country with poor resources. They used the whole country to build the world's third-largest army.

How can the Navy take risks for those muddy legs on the road that are only worth an eight-cent stamp?

Just as Endo Kiichi and Yu Huanmao were discussing how to rescue, on the clouds more than 6,000 meters above the Japanese fleet, an F-6A reconnaissance plane painted in sky blue camouflage was flying at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters.

Above the clouds, I quietly observed the movement on the sea.

The F-6A reconnaissance aircraft is a two-seater reconnaissance version of the P-51 Mustang fighter. It eliminates the weapons on the aircraft and installs a camera and a large long-wave radio. The communication distance has increased from more than 100 kilometers to more than 300 kilometers. It is a

A very good reconnaissance aircraft.

Seeing the mighty fleet on the sea, the observer sitting in the back seat of the F-6a reconnaissance plane looking down with a telescope showed a look of shock and surprise on his face, and he immediately shouted loudly, "

Sir, look quickly, we found the fleet!"

The pilot sitting in the front row suddenly became energetic and asked loudly: "Report immediately the number of their headings and the model of the ship!"

The observer shook his head: "No, our current flying altitude is too high to see clearly. We must lower the altitude. But if we lower the altitude, we may be in danger of being discovered by the Japanese."

Although the F-6A reconnaissance aircraft was modified from the P-51, it was not armed at all. If the Japanese were to catch up with them, the only weapon they could resist would probably be the pistol hanging on their waist.

The pilot in front gritted his teeth and said, "We're so scared. If we're discovered, we'll turn around and run immediately. Those little devils won't be able to catch up with us."

After saying that, he pushed the control stick, and the blue and white fighter plane immediately turned into a flying swallow that had always been light and rushed down. When the plane descended to an altitude of three thousand meters, the observer sitting in the back looked at the plane below.

The fleet took photos while turning on the radio and connecting to the base.

"Base! Base! I am Haiyan No. 5, we have discovered the Japanese fleet, repeat, we have discovered the Japanese fleet!"

"Haiyan No. 5, report the location and size of the enemy fleet immediately!"

"Yes! According to preliminary observations, the Japanese fleet below has three aircraft carriers, fifteen warships of various types, and sixteen destroyers. The current position is 3514 5484. They are heading towards Fuzhou! Repeat it..."

Ten minutes later, the telegram was placed in front of Suri's desk.

Looking at the telegram in his hand, Su Rui's eyes flashed with excitement. He clenched his fist with his right hand and hit the table hard and said loudly: "The little devil is finally here. Immediately order Cheng Sheng and all submarine forces to head towards the sea area immediately."

Rush there at full speed, be sure to show them some color..." (To be continued...)
