A rush of footsteps came from outside the office. Mitsumasa Yoneuchi quickly raised his head after hearing the sound. Could it be that there is news from Qinhuangdao? Soon a staff officer opened the door and walked in with an anxious look. "Admiral Yonai, just 5 minutes ago, Commander Yamamoto sent a farewell message. Our combined fleet was attacked by a mysterious weapon of the 98th Army, and the losses were very heavy. Commander Yamamoto felt ashamed of the Emperor and the Empire, and decided to commit suicide. "Thank you!" "What did you say? We failed!" Mitsumasa Yonei stood up in shock. "This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!! There are more than 100 battleships, how could they be defeated?" Mitsumasa Yoneuchi said with a look of disbelief. "But Commander Yamamoto's message does say so." After speaking, the staff officer handed the message in his hand to Mitsumasa Yoneuchi. Mitsumasa Yoneuchi quickly picked up the message and read it carefully. "Mysterious cylindrical object that can fly close to the sea at high speed. It has a high hit rate and huge lethality. It can launch 8 at a time. You must be careful In the end, our army only has 1 cruiser and 26 destroyers left." See here Mitsumasa Goyoneuchi could hardly believe his eyes. This was a fortune that the Empire of Japan had only accumulated over several decades! Could it be possible that everything was defeated in one day yesterday? "General Minai, what should we do?" the staff officer said with a look of panic. This is an absolutely huge event. Maybe a large number of senior navy officials will step down. "The sky is falling!" Mitsumasa Minai sat down on the chair as if he were mourning his heir. There was a dead silence in the room for a moment. Not long after, there was another sound of footsteps outside the door. Prince Zain, Chief of Staff of the Japanese Army, opened the door and walked in anxiously. "Mine-kun, what happened to your fleet. Why don't you provide artillery support to our army? Do you know how many casualties the soldiers on the front line have now?" Prince Zain said almost roaring. Those Japanese reservists never expected that the artillery fire of the 98th Army would be so fierce. This was completely different from the empire's usual propaganda. The imperial newspapers are talking about how weak the Chinese army is all day long. The empire suffered temporary setbacks only because of a lack of troops. But when they went to the battlefield in person, the real situation was completely different. The heavy artillery of the 98th Army was at least 10 times more powerful than they imagined! Compared with them, the Japanese artillery is like a child, not a level opponent at all. In addition, there are the almost indestructible King Tiger tanks and the extremely powerful Gustav cannon. The Japanese fortifications are no better than paper in front of the Gustav cannon, no matter how strong the fortifications are. One shot down was a huge crater as big as two football fields. Facing the extremely powerful offensive of the 98th Army, the desk of Kwantung Army Commander Honjo Shigeru was filled with telegrams from the front line asking for help like snowflakes. Faced with so many telegrams asking for help, Honjo Shige felt that one was bigger than the other. In the end, he could only send reinforcements to the front line and ask for help from the base camp, hoping that the navy would be merciful. Provide them with artillery support. Since his own men were suffering from such a predicament, Prince Zain naturally had to seek support for them, so he aggressively attacked Minai Guangzheng. Looking at the unkind-looking Prince Zain, Mitsumasa Minai said with a despairing face: "There is no navy anymore, our fleet is doomed." After saying that, he handed the telegram in his hand to Prince Zain. Prince Zai Ren was also shocked after seeing it. "How is this impossible! What kind of secret weapon is so powerful? It can sink so many warships!" He originally thought that the navy fled the battle because of fear of death, but he did not expect that they suffered such heavy losses. "I don't know about this either." Mitsumasa Yoneuchi said with a gloomy face. Prince Zai Ren also realized the seriousness of this matter. This is definitely a war that will affect the destiny of the empire. If it is not dealt with carefully, the empire may never recover. "Their secret weapon must be investigated clearly! No matter what the cost!" Prince Zai Ren said solemnly. "You're right." Mitsumasa Yoneuchi also nodded in agreement.? If we don¡¯t figure out what the 98th Army¡¯s secret weapon is and what its weaknesses are, then their navy will only be defeated repeatedly if they encounter them again. "Yonei-kun, the fighting on the front line is too fierce now. Our Imperial Japanese Army urgently needs your fire support, even if it is only at night." Prince Zain said to him seriously. "Is this it?" I listened to what he said. Mitsumasa Yoneuchi felt very embarrassed. Now that the Japanese navy has been severely weakened, if a few more ships are sunk by the enemy, the consequences will be simply unimaginable. "Munei-kun, on behalf of the 400,000 soldiers on the front line, I beg you!" Prince Zairen bowed deeply to Prime Minister Minenei. Prince Zain¡¯s performance really surprised Yonei Mitsumasa. He didn¡¯t expect that Prince Zain, who had always been proud and arrogant, would beg him so humbly. But from this, he also saw how bad the situation on the front line was, otherwise the stubborn Prince Zai Ren might not come to him to ask for help. "Okay then, I will discuss with Nagano-kun to send a few warships to support your army at night." Mitsumasa Yonai thought for a while and said. Of course, you cannot send too many warships. At most, you can only send one cruiser and a few destroyers to test the waters. "Thank you so much, Yonei-kun." Prince Zairen quickly bowed to Yoneuchi Mitsumasa and said. "I don't dare to take it! I don't dare to take it!" Mitsumasa Yoneuchi said quickly. Speaking of which, the Army and the Navy can be considered as brothers. They were all beaten to shame in front of the 98th Army. If they don't unite again. I'm afraid they won't end well in the end. "I think we can't let the 98th Army just attack the Northeast. We should cause some trouble for the 98th Army." Prince Zairen said fiercely. "Your Highness, what do you mean?" "Do you still remember the plan for the extra-high school course?" Prince Zairen said meaningfully. "You mean that" "That's right." Prince Zai Ren nodded and said. "I think this plan should be launched." "But that plan may only cause some trouble to the 98th Army, but cannot cause fatal harm to them." Mitsumasa Yonei thought for a while and said. "Even if it can add a little trouble to them, it's okay. Our army's casualties are too great now, and I absolutely can't let the 98th Army have it easy." Prince Zairen said with a heartbroken look. Judging from the losses reported on the front line. At least two wings have been completely written off. This battle lasted only for how long, not even three hours. He couldn¡¯t imagine how many people they would die in this battle in one day! But he can guarantee that this is definitely an extremely terrifying number. "Okay then, I will launch that plan with you to His Majesty the Emperor." Mitsumasa Yoneuchi thought for a while and said. ******** ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? The 98th Army dispatched 450 fighter planes to defeat the Japanese combined fleet. A total of 4 Japanese battleships, 5 cruisers and 25 destroyers. However, the losses of the 98th Army were also extremely heavy. A total of 54 aircraft were shot down, 28 were missing, and 156 were injured. ""The 98th Army dispatched three 800mm cannons yesterday, and they fired dozens of shots at Qinhuangdao. shells. In addition, they also used hundreds of heavy artillery to launch a fierce bombardment against the Japanese army. In the face of the powerful offensive of the 98th Army, the Japanese army's losses were estimated at more than 20,000 people. " "The commander of the 98th Army, Lu Mingxuan, delivered an important speech to the entire army, asking all the soldiers to fight hard to regain the Northeast within this year, regardless of the dangers, and to fight the Korean people in dire straits from Japan. Saved from the hands of the rulers." On May 21, the cheerful sounds of newsboys selling newspapers were heard in the streets and alleys across the country. When people on the street heard the good news from the front line, they were all very excited, and then they started buying newspapers from the newsboys. ¡°Give me one!¡± ¡°I want one too!¡± ¡°I want two cents!¡± ¡°¡¡± It didn¡¯t take long for the newspapers in the hands of the newsboy to be sold out. The newsboy with a lot of money in his arms happily ran back to the newspaper office to get the newspaper. It seemed that if he didn'tIf there is an accident, they will definitely have a large amount of income today. After reading the newspaper, almost everyone was overjoyed, although the war in the south was not going smoothly. But the 98th Army is really powerful. It seems that it won't take long to regain Qinhuangdao. "An 800mm cannon, my God! How heavy is that kind of cannon? With hundreds of heavy artillery, the 98th Army is so powerful." In a two-story teahouse, a middle-aged man wearing an undershirt said Face said in amazement. "The 98th Army is so powerful. It actually defeated the Japanese fleet. It's a pity that the losses were a bit bigger." A man with a goatee sighed after reading the newspaper. "That's true, but a warship that can sink so many Japanese is worth it." Another old man wearing glasses said in agreement. Of course, what they don¡¯t know is that in order to keep the Seahawks¡¯ secrets to the greatest extent possible, Lu Mingxuan specifically gave all the credit to the Air Force. And in order to keep a low profile and not arouse the fear of others. He even exaggerated his losses tenfold. "But Commander Lu is not too hasty to propose the solution of North Korea now. You must know that Nanjing is still in the hands of the Japanese." The goatee said with a frown. "That's right. We haven't done our own affairs well, so how can we care about North Korea." The old man wearing glasses also nodded in agreement. Young people are still too impatient after all! If you like this work.
