When Rout Island fell into chaos, Bao Deshui had already launched an attack at Ningbei Port according to the established plan.
Ningbei Port, also known as Petropavlovsk, is actually the real ice-free port in northern Xinjiang.
From a geographical point of view, the geographical location of Ningbei Port is not as important as Vladivostok, so the Lanfang Northern Fleet will choose Vladivostok as its home port in the summer, but in winter, the Northern Fleet will go to Ningbei Port to avoid Vladivostok.
Freeze period.
Since the North Sea Fleet is in Ningbei Port, the Japanese fleet going north is naturally also in Ningbei Port.
As early as three days ago when war was declared, the Japanese fleet heading north blocked Ningbei Port.
Because of the threat from the land fort at Ningbei Port, the Japanese fleet did not directly attack Ningbei Port. Instead, it prepared to use troop transports to transport the Japanese army to the Kamchatka Peninsula and launch an attack on Ningbei Port from land.
This gave Bao Deshui enough transition time.
The airport of Ningbei Port is located in the urban area of Ningbei Port. At eight o'clock in the morning, Bao Dehui led the torpedo plane pilots to appear at the airport, preparing to attack the Japanese fleet heading north.
General Bao, with just a glass of water and wine, I wish General Bao immediate success. Chen Kangjian, commander of the Northern Xinjiang Region, also came to Ningbei Port in person to supervise the battle.
The sunshine at 53° north latitude comes relatively late. At 8 o'clock in the morning, it is just dawning. However, it has been snowing heavily recently, and the entire land is covered in silver. Under the reflection of the snow, the visibility is quite good.
The brand-new torpedo machine was parked steadily on the apron. The torpedoes had been mounted and the fuel tanks had been filled, waiting for the pilots to fly them into the sky.
On the tarmac at this time, the stars were really shining. Not only Chen Kangjian was present, but also the deputy commander of the Northern Xinjiang District, Ge Lifu. Also present were the commander of the Northern Xinjiang Fleet, Tan Xueheng, the commander of the Northern Xinjiang Air Force, Liang Lishan, and the Ningbeigang Coast Guard.
Battery commander Wu Yingke and so on.
Bao Deshui's military rank is actually only a senior colonel, which is still one level away from a general. However, it can be foreseen that if Bao Deshui leads the team to successfully complete the mission this time, then it will be just around the corner to upgrade his military rank from senior colonel to major general.
When Chen Kangjian said this, he naturally had good wishes in it.
Just after Chen Kangjian finished speaking, a guard brought hot drinks to him. Bao Deshui and all the torpedo plane pilots took a glass and drank it in one gulp.
You have to drink it quickly, otherwise it will turn into ice cubes soon.
Thanks to the Commander's good words, and with the Commander's glass of wine, we will definitely live up to His Majesty and all of you's great trust. If we don't succeed, we will be successful and Bao Deshui will be determined.
You are not allowed to become a benevolent person, you must succeed. Even if you become a benevolent person, you must succeed before becoming a benevolent person. Chen Kangjian's requirements are high.
For Lan Fang, this is the only opportunity. If he seizes it, he can completely destroy the arrogance of the Japanese and take the initiative in the war. If he cannot seize it, then everything will be stopped. Even if there is only one Japanese fleet left in the northern fleet,
A battleship is not something that the current Northern Xinjiang fleet can compete with.
Hearing Chen Kangjian's hoarse roar, Bao Deshui didn't say much. He gave a serious military salute and turned towards the torpedo machine that had been preheated.
I hope everything goes well. If the mission goal is successfully achieved, I will definitely build a temple for Master Bo in Ningbei Port. Northern Xinjiang Fleet Commander Tan Xueheng joined the Lanfang Fleet as early as Trident City, and he must be familiar with Poseidon.
What kind of temple should we build? We should build a Bodhisattva temple and give the Bodhisattva a golden body. Wu Yingke, commander of the coastal defense fort, still likes traditional mythology.
Stop talking nonsense, Lao Wu, go back to the fort and keep an eye on it to prevent the little Japanese from being destroyed. Lao Tan has to release all the submarines, and the destroyers must be ready for battle. If the torpedo planes do not sink all the Japanese fleet, the Navy will be responsible for destroying the Japanese fleet.
All the Japanese were sent to the bottom of the sea. Chen Kangjian was not in the mood to talk nonsense.
It was Wu Yingke and Tan Xueheng who stood at attention and saluted, turned around and walked towards the bulldog parked next to the tarmac.
God, bless us! Air Force Commander Liang Lishan suddenly shouted.
Doing his best, knowing his destiny, Greif saluted the torpedo planes that flew into the blue sky one after another.
At this time, the aircraft did not have a radio communication device. If the pilots wanted to communicate with each other, they could only rely on gestures in the air. Fortunately, Bao Deshui and other pilots had enough information after flying tens of thousands of kilometers long.
With a tacit understanding, after flying into the air, Bao Deshui and the others followed the predetermined plan, forming a flying formation of three aircraft and flying towards the coordinates provided by the reconnaissance aircraft.
Compared with the fleet going south, the Japanese fleet going north was slightly weaker. It only had three battleships, the Ise, Fuso, Kongo, and the last battleship Kirishima. It probably did not participate in this war. Perhaps the Japanese believed that with these three battleships,
The battleships are enough to suppress the Lanfang Northern Fleet.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Even though there are only three battleships, it is already very impressive to the Lanfang fleet. In terms of configuration, either of the Japanese fleet going north and the fleet going south can defeat Lanfang alone.
The strength of all battleships.
The only variable is the Lanfang Air Force.
Bao Deshui knew very well how heavy the burden was on their shoulders.
Just in front of Bao Deshui's torpedo fleet, the previously dispatched reconnaissance aircraft had been guiding the fleet. In order to confuse the situation, Northern Xinjiang even eliminated a group of bombers, preparing to distract the attention of the Japanese fleet heading north.
In the bridge of the battleship Kongo, the captain of the battleship King Kong, Kametaro Muta, was studying the chart with the commander of the Kitakami Fleet, Kantaro Suzuki.
At noon today, the fleet transporting the 8th and 9th Divisions will leave the port. Pay attention to Lanfang's submarine and send destroyers to protect the troop transports. Kantaro Suzuki is worried about the coming war.
Hay's Second Destroyer Division will escort the troop transport at that time, but I think Lanfang's submarines may not dare to come out. As long as they dare to come out, we will definitely be able to send them all to the bottom of the sea. Muta Kametaro is confident.
Submarines are indeed a powerful weapon against merchant ships, but if they face destroyers, submarines will only have a dead end.
At this time, destroyers have basically been equipped with active sonar, and submarines have lost the protection of seawater in front of destroyers. If discovered by destroyers, submarines cannot run away or be beaten, and can only passively wait to die.
It is for this reason that almost all of Lanfang's submarines are currently parked in the military port and do not dare to go out.
Of course, this is also because Qin Zhiyuan has a trump card. If Qin Zhiyuan does not have torpedo planes, then as early as the beginning of the war, Qin Zhiyuan will release all submarines to ambush Japanese merchant ships.
Well, if there were no torpedo planes, Qin Zhiyuan would not have started a war with the Japanese.
Qin Zhiyuan really hates the Japanese, but Qin Zhiyuan is not stupid. Qin Zhiyuan will not do the same thing.
Don't underestimate your enemy, otherwise you will definitely pay the price. Lanfang's submarine has technical support from the British, French and Germans. It can be said to be the most advanced submarine in the world at present. You must pay attention to them. Kantaro Suzuki
Don't take it lightly.
Before becoming the commander of the Kitakami Fleet, Kantaro Suzuki was the president of the Naval University. Even if Lanfang and Japan did not go to war, Kantaro Suzuki would serve as the commander of the Second Fleet, and would later serve as the commander-in-chief of the combined fleet.
How many submarines Lanfang has is a mystery to Japan.
The Japanese knew that Lan Fang had submarines and they were quite advanced, but they only knew a rough idea. The Japanese did not know the specific number of Lan Fang's submarines or their specific performance.
If it is the fleet of the Republic of China, based on Japan's infiltration into the Republic of China, the Japanese can confidently say that the fleet of the Republic of China has no secrets from Japan. However, the Japanese are not sure about Lanfang.
Lanfang is indeed a country of immigrants, but at the same time, Lanfang is also a country with extremely strict controls on the movement of people. The Japanese did send agents to Lanfang, but so far, the agents sent by Japan have not played their part.
function.
We reported that a large number of aircraft were flying over to us and the duty officer who had been observing by the porthole was shouting warnings.
Why do they want to drop bombs on our battleship? Kametaro Muta felt it was a bit funny, so he went to the porthole and picked up the telescope to observe.
It is not unheard of for aircraft to bomb warships in world wars, but the hit rate is really pitiful.
At this time, bombers did not even have relatively mature aiming equipment. Bombing land targets was fashionable and lacked accuracy. Bombing moving targets at sea was simply like using cannons to swat mosquitoes.
Aircraft, hehe, we have to develop airplanes sooner or later. It is best to wait until we defeat Lan Fang and obtain some information and equipment from Lan Fang. That will shorten our research cycle. Suzuki Kantaro's idea is quite beautiful.
As the president of Naval University, Suzuki Kantaro is very quick to accept new things, such as aircraft and tanks, Suzuki Kantaro has dabbled in them all.
Of course, limited to the general environment of the Japanese military, it is just a dabbling. If you want to do research in the current general environment, funding is a big problem.
Although Suzuki Kantaro knew that Japan currently did not have the ability to research aircraft and tanks, he did not give up, but pinned his hopes on the next war.
This is also a consistent method of the Japanese. They always place their hopes on the illusion of getting something for nothing.
It's not an illusion, the problem is that the Japanese always succeed.
For example, if the ship Kantaro Suzuki is currently riding, the Kongo, had not received a large amount of compensation after the Sino-Japanese War, it would have been a dream for the Japanese to build him.
It's a pity that Japan is facing Lan Fang now. I don't know whether Lan Fang will become Japan's prey or Japan will become Lan Fang's prey.
Just as Kantaro Suzuki was thinking wildly, three planes in the sky suddenly lowered their noses and resumed level flight only 50 meters above the sea. Then a cylindrical object was thrown from the plane.
That was when Suzuki Kantaro suddenly felt cold all over his body and it was very difficult to breathe, as if the cold sea water was about to submerge him.
