    On April 1, a new day comes.  After a night of investigation, the Japanese finally figured out that the attack did come from the sea and was indeed launched by the Chinese.  The Chinese disguised themselves as merchant ships and container ships and sailed to Nagasaki. However, they suddenly turned around and attacked the Japanese fleet at the Sasebo naval port. Then they bombed the military factory, and then sailed to the waters of Nagasaki to attack Nagasaki, Saga, and Kumamoto.  A second wave of bombing was carried out, and Kagoshima was bombed in the evening.  In this battle, due to Japan's lack of air defense awareness, there was no effective resistance at all. The command system was chaotic. The air force was basically not dispatched.  At sea, those who survived were taken back by them.  Immediately, Japan issued a tough statement, facing the shameless sneak attack by the Chinese, saying that Japan would definitely retaliate.  Moreover, the Japanese concealed their losses, saying that although they were attacked by a sneak attack, under the heroic resistance of the Japanese navy, they successfully repelled the enemy and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy. However, the Japanese did not even mention the topic of declaring war, which was quite embarrassing at this time.  Very thought-provoking.  Then the Japanese sent notes to the governments of the United States, Britain, France, and Italy, asking the League of Nations to impose sanctions on China.  "Declaring war, do you think the Japanese don't want to do it?"  But Japan is indeed not prepared. They are now busy dealing with the predicament at hand. The Japanese have discovered that a Chinese fleet has appeared off the coast of Japan. This time, the area where it appeared is close to Tokyo Bay and from the outermost edge of Tokyo Bay.  The city of Yokosuka is one hundred kilometers away.  ¡°Obviously the Chinese fleet is going to attack Tokyo.  The Japanese government quickly adjusted and planned to defend Tokyo.  There is no need to worry about declaring war or not, that is all a matter of hindsight.  Moreover, we must understand the details of the Chinese people before we can make a decision.  Now that someone is knocking on your door, you are at a loss when you are beaten, and you are unable to fight back. How can you talk about declaring war?  The Japanese are also extremely complicated at this time. On the one hand, they are angry. The Chinese suddenly attacked. This is simply unreasonable. We have always attacked China.  When did the Chinese start to attack us? On the one hand, there is something strange. Japanese high-level officials suddenly feel like they have traveled through time and space. Could it be that they were not after the Meiji period, but before the Qing Dynasty, during the thousands of years when Japan was always covered by the shadow of China?  ?  On the one hand, the Japanese are also wondering, what are the Chinese going to do?  Not mentioning the sudden attacks, the problem is that their attacks are very sharp.  It really caused harm to Japan, and it was significant harm.  Because what is harmed is Japan's vital point, Japan's navy. As an island country, everyone knows what it means to lose its navy.  For a strong country losing its navy, it means losing the direction of progress; for a weak country losing its navy, it means there is no defensive barrier.  Japan has been attacked and the navy has been defeated. This is the information that the upper echelons of Japan learned at this time.  At this time, they were full of pessimism, no matter who was suddenly attacked like this.  All will be pessimistic.  What the Japanese high-level officials saw was that Nagasaki and other places were bombed.  There was no way to fight back. There was no response from the main fleet sent, but there was already another Chinese fleet approaching the city.  What kind of rhythm is this? How come the Chinese suddenly became so powerful and dispatched two fleets at the same time? This is incredible.  Things that are incomprehensible are the most terrifying. Death is terrifying precisely because no one knows what happens after death.  Incomprehensible and sudden, it is the most likely to cause panic.  ??Especially when the situation is still unclear, it is no wonder that Japanese cladding is thinking wildly.  What should Japan do?  Should we declare war immediately and then fight China to the death, or should we wait and see how the situation develops?  Or we should first understand the attitude of the Chinese, find out what the Chinese's strategic expectations are, and what is their purpose in attacking Japan. Is it defensive, to prevent Japan from continuing to use force to expand its rights and interests in China, or is it offensive?  The purpose is basically to attack itself, to defeat Japan into whatever condition it can, reduce Japan to ruins, and defeat Japan to the point of subjugation?  ¡°In particular, we should find out what kind of strength the Chinese have. Is it possible that they suddenly have the strength to destroy Japan overnight, at least the strength to destroy the Japanese navy.  This must be clarified. This is the most important thing. Put the damn thing about declaring war aside for now.  If it is clear that the Chinese really only gained a small advantage by relying on sneak attacks, it proves that they are too worried at the moment. China is still the same China, the China that has only been stepped on by Japan since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894. Then  It's easy to handle. When the time comes, you can declare war if you want, and fight however you want. If the Chinese started the war, let Japan end the war.  But what exactly is China¡¯s strength?  The Japanese are not sure either.  Outside Tokyo Bay, the Chinese fleet was so close that it felt like it was stuck in its throat. The Japanese watched the movements of this fleet carefully.  The news was blocked, not wanting to cause panic among the public. This was the second time a foreign warship had visited Tokyo Bay after the Black Ship Incident, and the visitor was not malicious.  In the military, it is urgentTo mobilize, Tokyo Bay must be defended, especially Tokyo is the key point, and the Imperial Palace in Tokyo is the key point.  What the Japanese don¡¯t know is that the fleet approaching Tokyo Bay at this time was actually responsible for the attack. The main fleet of the Chinese fleet, the Nagasaki fleet, was just a sneak attack fleet converted from a civilian ship.  The Japanese didn't even know that the main fleet was directly commanded by Chen Ce, the deputy commander of the United Provincial Navy who was responsible for training and combat tasks.  Chen Ce¡¯s command ship is the latest ship, the 40,000-ton Sino-Japanese War aircraft carrier with a beveled deck and a weight of 40,000 tons. It was just launched a month ago. Zhao Zeyong personally participated in the launching ceremony and named it personally.  "Commander Yan, this mission is of great importance. You and I must unite sincerely." Chen Ce looked very solemn. In fact, he had already planned to succeed or succeed. He had no intention of returning as a loser.  In China, one can either win and go back as a hero, or fail and go back shrouded in horse leather.  So his mood at this time was very tragic.  In fact, Yan Yucong is not in a relaxed mood. He is usually a bit crazy. He is dissatisfied with Navy Deputy Commander Chen Ce within the Navy and dissatisfied with Air Force Commander Li Jiaming outside the Navy.  But at this time, he did not dare to underestimate this mission at all. He felt that this time it was their naval aviation force that used one army to fight against the entire Japan.  Such a heavy burden rests on our shoulders.  Suddenly it seemed extremely heavy. Yan Yucong felt that they were simply a desperate bet, but Zhao Zeyong pushed them all onto the gambling table and made a desperate move.  "Commander Chen, don't worry, I will resolutely obey orders." Yan Yucong said.  In fact, he knew in his heart that Chen Ce was a veteran in the navy, and veteran was more than just his qualifications. His rich experience was indeed stronger than his own.  He is usually crazy, but he is not an unreasonable person. He knows that this attack mission is important, and he is afraid that only a veteran navy like Chen Ce can do it. He still lacks something.  Chen Ce suddenly sighed: "Oh, the warlord has repaid his high hopes. Naming this ship Jiawu means that our navy can wash away its own shame. This time, I will treat it as you helping my old brother. Our navy's  The shame is as deep as the sea." Yan Yucong said: "What did Commander Chen say? Our aviation force is also a member of the navy. The shame of the navy is our shame. We can avenge our shame now." Chen Ce was a little surprised. Yan Yucong.  But I have never regarded myself as a pure navy. I have always advocated that aviation is an independent branch and should not be affiliated with the navy.  The navy is nothing more than a platform for aviation operations.  The aviation force is the protagonist.  And the entire navy has not yet regarded a new type of service like the flying force as a navy. They believe that real cannons and giant ships are the foundation of the navy, and think that aviation is just a weapon of the navy.  "Report, the scouts sent news, and no main movement of Japanese warships in the port was found." At this time, the staff officer sent news.  The latest investigation results.  Chen Ce frowned. Three waves of reconnaissance planes have been sent out today.  However, no news of the Japanese fleet was found.  This battle was well prepared, and the parking situation of each Japanese fleet had already been figured out. How could it be possible that the Japanese fleet suddenly disappeared?  Chen Ce was unwilling to attack rashly without understanding the situation of the Japanese fleet.  This is the difference between Chen Ce, an old navy man, and the sneak attack fleet led by Wang Huan. When Wang Huan arrived in Nagasaki, he didn't care about bombing first.  Chen Ce, on the other hand, had to weigh the pros and cons and make a decision before taking action. He would not take action easily without finding the Japanese fleet and eliminating the biggest threat first.  It¡¯s hard to say who is good and who is bad. One can often achieve miraculous results and is easy to win or lose. The other is cautious and advances. It is difficult to fight a thrilling battle, but it is safer. This is why Zhao Zeyong asked Wang Huan to sneak attack, and  The reason why Chen Ce is the main attacker.  "Commander Chen can't wait any longer. It's time to launch an attack. Things will change later, and the Japanese will not just wait for us in the port." Yan Yucong understood Chen Ce's caution, but he couldn't wait any longer. The aircraft carrier docked  Off the coast of Japan, exposure is a matter of time, especially the Tokyo route, which is the busiest route in Japan. Although we have found a relatively remote sea area, there is no guarantee that there will not be any ships sailing, even if it is just a fishing boat of their size.  The fleet cannot be hidden.  "Report that a Japanese plane has been spotted ahead." Chen Ce and Yan Yucong looked at each other and were exposed.  Chen Ce immediately ordered: "Order the aviation force to take off immediately and prepare for the first wave of strikes. The pilots of the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 aircraft carriers are on standby, ready to support at any time. Order the Jiawu to be ready, and the fighter jets to take off to escort the entire fleet.  , Do not attack without orders." Yan Yucong said: "Yes!" The first wave of attacks by Chen Ce's fleet was not aimed at Tokyo, but at Yokosuka, the outermost part of Tokyo Bay. Not only is Japan's most important naval base located here., Japan's largest fleet is still stationed, but now the entire fleet is gone.  Maybe they were transferred into Tokyo Bay to protect Tokyo, but Chen Ce did not dare to send a reconnaissance plane into Tokyo Bay, as it would be too easy to be exposed.  The effect of the first wave of bombing was very ideal. Without the main fleet of the navy, some second-class warships in the port simply couldn't help the bombing and fell silent. The naval factories and shipyards were fixed targets, and the main force of the navy of the United Provinces, which had been trained strictly for several years, was  Say, there is no difficulty at all.  Chen Ce anxiously awaited the results of the battle. As a result, the first wave of aircraft carrying out the bombing mission successfully returned home without any loss or encountering any counterattack.  "Order the fleet to move to Tokyo Bay. The No. 1 aircraft carrier air force takes off for cover and moves forward to clear the obstacles." The target of the second wave of bombing is Yokohama. Tokyo Bay is like a pair of open arms, protecting Tokyo, the capital of Japan.  Yokohama and Yokosuka are like open arms and outstretched hands. They are the two most important fulcrums in defending Tokyo. Without destroying these two places, it will be impossible to attack Tokyo.  Yokosuka has already been bombed, and it was a surprise attack, so the attack on Yokohama will not be sudden.  Sure enough, when bombing Yokohama, they encountered Japanese anti-aircraft firepower interception and lost more than ten aircraft before completing the bombing mission of Yokohama.  However, Yokohama did not find the Japanese fleet, not even a decent warship, which was even more suspicious.  After bombing Yokohama, Chen Ce's fleet was almost stuck at the exit of Tokyo Bay. Through the telescope, it can be seen that ships of all sizes in Tokyo Bay are in a mess at this time. There are people traveling in all directions, and some want to  Entering the depths of the harbor, they were intercepted by the coast guard. Some wanted to leave the harbor but were blocked by U-turning ships.  At this time, Tokyo Bay was already in chaos. It must have been because they were at a loss after learning about the bombing of Yokosuka and Yokohama.  Chen Ce didn't care about this. He couldn't have any scruples, let alone sympathy, and coldly ordered the third wave of bombing to begin.  There are some Japanese warships in Tokyo Bay at this time, but they are mixed with various merchant ships and civilian ships, and they are not allowed to enter or exit, and these warships are not the main force.  On the other hand, Tokyo's shore defense firepower was somewhat ferocious, causing the loss of more than ten aircraft, but the results were not worth mentioning in comparison.  However, the Japanese air force finally appeared. A dozen planes flew to the port, but were shot down by a pack of wolf-like United Provincial Air Force planes.  After that, the federal planes went deep into the urban area of ??Tokyo to conduct bombings. However, they found that a large number of Japanese planes took off to intercept, which would inevitably cause unnecessary losses. Chen Ce gave up the idea of ??bombing Tokyo.  After the bombing of Tokyo, although the main force of the Japanese fleet was still not found, Chen Ce was relieved.  This shows that the Japanese have no conspiracy. There must be normal reasons for the disappearance of their main fleet. It is not because of their own fleet or their deployment.  Because in any case, it is impossible for the Japanese to leave Tokyo alone and allow the enemy to bomb it without sending out their own fleet.  After bombing Tokyo, Chen Ce's fleet immediately returned. The aircraft carrier fleet without frigate escort still seemed too dangerous.  "Commander, great victory, great victory." Wang Yanmeng shouted and personally delivered the latest battle report. He had been squatting in the telegraph room.  After reading the battle report, Zhao Zeyong finally showed his joy and could call Sun Ke.  (To be continued.
