Almost at the same time, the Japanese fleet also discovered the Chinese Air Force reconnaissance aircraft following it. Of course, in this clear and cloudless sky, a roaring iron lump was circling around the fleet, lowering its height from time to time to take photos. It would be difficult not to be discovered, not to mention that the reconnaissance plane had no intention of covering up in the first place. ?
Then several nearby reconnaissance planes also swarmed in, like bees smelling the fragrance of flowers, flying up and down around the fleet, as if they wanted to take photos of every ship in the fleet and verify them one by one to avoid missing any fish.
Just when the reconnaissance plane was busy, on the joint fleet flagship Mikasa, fleet commander Kato Yusaburo said with a wry smile to the field commander Umezawa Michiharu of the expedition: "Long before the expedition, I thought of it. The China Air Force reconnaissance planes are so powerful that they did not go directly west after leaving Nagasaki Port, but turned north and then along the coast of North Korea to avoid their search. Unexpectedly, they still caught their eye. Now. Umezawa-kun, how should we deal with it now?"
Umezawa Michiji was lying on a chair, shaking his head slightly at Kato Tomosaburo and saying: "Kato-kun, as the saying goes, 'it's up to the guest to do as he pleases', it's up to you to decide how the fleet will proceed! Asking this veteran from the army, isn't it the same as asking Dao Yu blind?"
Although Umezawa Michiji asked him to make the decision, Kato Tomosaburo was still very humble towards this prestigious main division commander: "In this case, we will no longer be secretive and continue to implement the originally planned battle plan. Right? The faster Second Fleet, with its main fleet, will escort the 18th Division to land in Longkou Bay, Huang County, Shandong Province. Our First Fleet will escort your Sixth Division to land directly in Jiaozhou Bay. The Third Fleet will be responsible for patrolling and guarding the surrounding areas. ,how?"
Umezawa Michiji replied with a smile: "It's all up to Kato-kun! But we are being watched by the China plane now, so we are not in a hurry to separate our troops. How about waiting until night and go our separate ways? Maybe we can trouble the China plane again tomorrow!" "
Kato Tomosaburo complimented: "Thank you, Umezawa-kun! Our army is now less than 300 nautical miles away from Jiaozhou Bay, which is only about a day. If we can keep China's aircraft at a loss during this period, we will definitely have unexpected results!"

He Yingqin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the reconnaissance plane had discovered traces of the Japanese fleet in the coastal waters of North Korea. However, related questions also followed: Are the fleets detected by Japan all the fleets sent? Is the target of their attack Qingdao? Will the troops be divided along the way? This is where the defenders are passive. Shandong has a long coastline and there are many places suitable for large-scale landings. The Japanese army can choose landing places at will, but China cannot defend everywhere. Even if Sun Yuanqi temporarily transferred 3 reorganized divisions and 5 mixed brigades, he still could not do it.
Of course, even if it can defend everywhere, the Chinese army cannot evenly distribute its troops at various suitable landing locations like spreading pancakes. It has long been said in the art of war that being fortified everywhere is equal to being undefended everywhere. Especially in the face of a powerful enemy like Japan, if we deploy our troops like this, the final result will only be defeated one by one.
He Yingqin thought more than once: Since Japan has made up its mind to attack Shandong, why should we follow him in hypocrisy? Simply send dozens of bombers to follow and bomb all the way. There is no way for them to hide or escape in the vast sea. The distance of several hundred nautical miles is enough to prevent the Japanese troops from reaching the shore. It is almost effortless. Isn't it too much to abandon one's own strengths, wait for the Japanese troops to land, and finally defend with all their strength?
However, He Yingqin also knew that Sun Yuanqi was not a benevolent and righteous single-celled creature like Song Xianggong. He did not use bombers. Naturally, he had some last resort difficulties, such as not wanting to be given the excuse to actively attack other countries, such as not wanting to destroy the absolute neutrality he had previously declared, etc. But He Yingqin still couldn't help but want to use the bomber.
To dispel this idea, He Yingqin asked the intelligence personnel around him: "What are the changes in the Japanese fleet now? Are there any signs of division of troops?"
The intelligence officer replied: "Reporting to the commander, according to the latest news from the Fourth Investigation Team in Shanghai, the Japanese fleet changed its course after being discovered by our army, from sailing along the Korean coastline to heading 13 degrees west by north. The course, and the speed has increased, it has reached 11.4 knots, and no other changes have been found yet. Why, Commander, do you think the Japanese fleet will divide its forces?"
He Yingqin said: "It is certain to divide the troops, otherwise how could they land with more than 80,000 people crowded together? Not to mention that Jiaozhou Bay does not have such a large landing site, even if there is a suitable site, once they land and fail to launch in time, so many people Being stuck in a dilemma on the beachhead, wouldn't they be at our mercy? The Japanese are not that stupid. They will definitely divide their forces and choose different locations to land, and then encircle and encircle the Jiao'ao area. At present, we needp; According to logic, Kamio Mitsuomi should reply with polite words such as "Commander, please take care of yourself" (translated as "take care of your body") or "each other". However, Kamio Mitsuomi didn't know whether he wanted to show his sense of humor to lighten the atmosphere, or whether he wanted to express his determination to win, but he unexpectedly replied: "Thank you, Commander, we will definitely kill the enemy bravely to serve His Majesty the Emperor. In short, if we don¡¯t meet in Qingdao, we¡¯ll meet in Jiudanban!¡±
Kudanzaka is the site of the Yasukuni Shrine, dedicated to honoring Japanese soldiers and their families who died in the war since the Meiji Restoration. Kamio Mitsuomi suddenly mentioned Kudanzaka when he was leaving, which immediately gave an ominous premonition to everyone present. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
