Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wang Huan was very puzzled. He couldn't understand the strange behavior of the Japanese navy. Japanese warships rushed to their death in twos and threes, but they were always sunk hundreds of kilometers away from him. Facing such a one-sided situation, it made no sense at all.  Why can't they learn any lessons from their resistance?  After the last sneak attack on Japan, Wang Huan's fleet immediately returned to Shanghai and set off again after three days of repairs.  Now Shanghai has become an indispensable link in the economic and military chain of the provinces. In the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, a railway has been built from Guangxi to Wuhan through Hunan, and a branch line has been built from Changsha to Jiujiang.  It is equivalent to connecting the Yangtze River with the railway network of the provinces through railways.  Railways are like streams converging on the Yangtze River, continuously delivering goods from the provinces to this golden waterway, and then transported by ship to Shanghai downstream.  Countless ships transport large amounts of supplies from the Yangtze River to Shanghai every day, and the navy of the United Provinces is repaired and supplied here.  The reason why the railway was built so quickly is that China has been building the Guangdong-Hankong Railway since the Qing government. A lot of foundations have been laid in the Hunan section. In many places, it only needs to be laid track. However, due to various reasons  The reason is still stopped, which is cheaper for the province. At least there is no need to re-build the foundation, and even the surveying and mapping work is saved. Zhan Tianyou's team has done a good job, and the path plan they chose is already the best.  At the same time, it is also related to the nearly 100,000 British and Italian captives. This is a pretty good labor force. Under the control of fear, the British and Italian captives have a serious work attitude.  They worked hard to get the Hunan section of the Guangdong-Hankong Railway opened to traffic as soon as possible.  And it is connected to the railway network of the federal provinces.  The captive laborers were indispensable, and Zhao Zeyong was really reluctant to let them go.  Of course, after the railway is completed, Shanghai will become the leader that the provinces can use on the Yangtze River.  In Shanghai, Wang Huan's fleet completed its overhaul and reloaded ammunition, food and drinking water.  Wang Huan couldn't wait to set off again.  The last sneak attack was an unprecedented success, but Wang Huan was not satisfied. He also wanted a greater victory. This time he targeted several Japanese ports that he had not had time to bomb last time, including Wu Haijun Port and Wuhe.  Military ports, these two military ports, together with Sasebo and Yokosuka, have become Japan's four major military ports, and they also have strong ordnance industries.  In particular, Kure Navy Factory is known as Japan's largest naval factory and must be destroyed.  After Wang Huan's fleet set off from Shanghai, the weather was good and the weather was good, and they arrived in the Sea of ??Japan smoothly.  We did not encounter any particularly dangerous situation, but instead sank at least a dozen Japanese warships of various colors.  It is a pity that there is no decent one, neither a large battle cruiser nor a battleship, especially no Japanese aircraft carrier.  Wang Huan really wants to see what level Japan¡¯s aircraft carriers are, and has always wondered why the Japanese don¡¯t send their own aircraft carriers.  The purpose of encountering Japanese aircraft carriers is also to verify how many pounds one's own aircraft carriers have.  It's a pity that it didn't work out.  Now the huge Wang Huan fleet, with thirty aircraft carriers, each carrying an average of nearly forty aircraft, and a total of thousands of aircraft, has arrived at its target location, outside the Maizuru Naval Port in the Sea of ??Japan.  Along the route, it went straight through the Strait of Japan, and planes were sent out to conduct reconnaissance. Like locusts swarming the land, all water targets they saw were sunk.  And they once again raided Sasebo, Nagasaki and other ports and military facilities, but the Japanese had not resisted for a long time, which made Wang Huan look down on the Japanese.  However, the fleet encountered unprecedented resistance at the Wuhe Military Port. The anti-aircraft firepower encountered here was unprecedentedly powerful. Wang Huan was cruel and destroyed the military facilities at the Wuhe Military Port at the cost of nearly a hundred aircraft.  , and he would not stop until he finally vented his anger and bombed the city of Maizuru.  Unfortunately, there are still no large ships in Maizuru Naval Port. Only a few torpedo boats tried to attack and were sunk by escorting aircraft and small guns on the aircraft carrier.  In fact, if the Japanese adopt another combat method and do not send cruisers to forcefully attack, the threat to Wang Huan's fleet may be greater, but torpedo boats with weak protection, or old battleships, or land-based aircraft will really pose a threat to Wang Huan's fleet.  The raccoon fleet is not a big threat.  Although he successfully destroyed the Maizuru military port, this time was different from the last sneak attack on Sasebo and Nagasaki. This time Wang Huan was equivalent to storming the Japanese military port, so the information he obtained was quite useful. He basically understood Japan's air defense capabilities.  Bottom line, it is basically certain that Japan currently does not have a decent air defense force at all.  Then Wang Huan refused to give up, and then turned around, boringly bombing Japanese coastal cities along the way. He plowed Nagasaki Port again, crossed the Tsushima Strait, and continued to sweep along the Japanese coastline. Finally, he approached another target, Kyoto.  In the Wu Zhenzhen Mansion in the area, there is Kure Naval Port, one of Japan's four major military ports, and Kure Naval Factory, Japan's largest naval factory. More importantly, some large warships are often docked here. Wang Huan hopes that his achievements will be successful.  , there are several worthy battleships to decorate, so bombing here is definitely a must.??Goal.  At the same time in Shandong, the fighting was very intense. The Japanese Army held fast to Qingdao, and Li Zongren led his troops to attack continuously.  Three days ago, the Chinese issued an ultimatum, requiring the Japanese to withdraw from Shandong within three days. Of course, Japan could not agree to this condition. If the Chinese asked nicely, maybe they would be kind, but Japan would not accept such a tough ultimatum.  Maybe leaving, this is a matter of national dignity, unless China is so powerful that the Japanese have no ability to resist, but then again, if the Chinese are that powerful, let alone Japan stationing troops in Shandong, I am afraid  Since China has stationed troops in Tokyo, Japan, it will not be the Chinese's turn to issue an ultimatum, but Japan will want the Chinese troops to leave.  But now that the Chinese have issued an ultimatum, the Japanese also know that the Chinese will definitely attack Shandong. This is also a matter of dignity. If it is other forces, the Japanese may not care, whether it is the Beiyang or the Nanjing government.  It's all just talk, and there will be no actual action at all, but now the big warlord in the United Provinces is in charge of China.  The Japanese did not understand the nature of this great warlord before, but now they understand it.  In the past, the United Provinces fought against the British.  When they were fighting against Italy, the Japanese could still watch the excitement, but when it was their turn, they didn't believe that the United Nations was going to beat them at first, but they couldn't believe it anymore because the Japanese mainland had been attacked.  The Japanese troops stationed in Qingdao couldn't believe it. Is this true?  But all the news is certain that this is true.  The Japanese mainland was attacked by the Chinese, not to mention Shandong, which was occupied by the Japanese army.  So as soon as the Chinese ultimatum was issued, the Japanese immediately started preparations.  At that time, Japanese troops were scattered throughout Shandong, especially along the Jiaoji Railway, where a large number of Japanese troops were stationed.  Such a situation is naturally not conducive to defense, so when the ultimatum is issued.  The Japanese decided to shrink with all their strength, and all of them were sent to Qingdao.  Qingdao has permanent fortifications left by the Germans. During World War I, when the Japanese attacked Qingdao, they suffered heavy casualties from these fortifications. They were so impressed that they decided to imitate the enemy.  They also used fortifications to kill and injure Chinese.  Li Zongren had already thought of the Japanese's contraction. Li Zongren would have done the same thing himself. As far as the battle plan is concerned, there is nothing wrong with this. Let alone the fact that the enemy is strong and we are weak.  It means that one's own side has an advantage, as long as one is sure that the other side will attack oneself.  They will find stronger defensive positions.  The senior officials of the federal province actually expected that the Japanese would do this, but they still asked Sun Ke to announce an ultimatum to Japan in advance, which was equivalent to alerting the enemy.  But the federal province has its own considerations and other plans.  Think about it, if the Japanese were not informed in advance that they were going to attack them, they would definitely not shrink their defenses. If Li Zongren made a sudden attack, it would indeed be a miraculous military effect.  But at that time, the Japanese army is bound to be dispersed. With the Japanese personality, they will definitely not surrender. On the contrary, they will break into pieces and resist stubbornly, which is very difficult to handle.  You must know that the terrain of Shandong is quite complicated. There are plains and mountainous areas. It would be very troublesome for the Japanese to hide in the mountains to fight guerrillas. If the situation in World War II happened, that is, the Japanese soldiers went into the mountains and forests, I don¡¯t know that Japan has already  The news of the surrender turned out to be a joke as it persisted in the virgin forest for decades.  Therefore, if small groups of Japanese soldiers are scattered across the land of Shandong, I am afraid it will cause even greater trouble.  Moreover, if the Japanese do not know when they will be attacked, and after hearing the news that their country is being attacked, they may lose control and go crazy. It would be even worse if they launch several massacres.  "You might as well tell the Japanese directly now that we will attack you in three days. The Japanese will not care about anything else and will only think about how to defend. This will make things simpler and turn it into a simple offensive and defensive battle."  What the federal province wants is this effect, which is to let the Japanese gather themselves together and then have a head-to-head contest. This is a duel of rigidity, without any water added. If you win, you will win, and if you lose, you will lose.  , everything speaks with strength.  Japan has a division of about 20,000 people, and Li Zongren has a division of about 20,000 people. They are equally matched in terms of military strength.  The Japanese relied on the German fortifications, while Li Zongren's Guilin Division had the support of the local people. One had a good location, and the other had people and people. It was not really who had the advantage.  As for the timing, the Guilin Division has just finished the Northern Expedition, defeated the British and Italians, and is in full swing. The Japanese have not fought a war for a long time, so the timing is favorable to the Guilin Division.  But after fighting for a day, the Guilin Division did not break through the Japanese defenses. Of course, it was also related to the fact that the Guilin Division did not attack by force. The whole day was basically spent in aircraft bombing and artillery shelling, and even the tanks did not attack forward.  At night, the battle was still not over. The snipers of the Allied Provincial Army became active. A dozen snipers wearing night vision goggles hunted Japanese soldiers elusively. As a result, the Japanese did not dare to hide in the fortifications.  Outcrop.  Moreover, this kind of combat was also the first time for the Japanese to see it. They could not imagine how the Chinese fought in the pitch black darkness.How to achieve a one-shot kill, especially in the silent night, the dull sound made by the large-caliber Barrett sniper rifle makes people feel very sad. Some superstitious Japanese people feel that this is beyond human power.  Suddenly, some pessimism grew.  After a day of sailing here, Wang Huan finally entered the next target area. His fleet sailed into the Seto Inland Sea. There are quite a few important Japanese cities here, such as Osaka, Kobe, etc. The most important thing is that here  This is where Wu Zhenshou Mansion is located. Wang Huan has been eyeing this place for a long time. If Chen Ce's main fleet gets the lead, he will be very unhappy.  As for the Japanese, they have also guessed that the Chinese will come here.  Because their four major naval ports, Sasebo, Yokosuka, and Maizuru Naval Ports, have all been destroyed by bombing, the Chinese have no reason to let Wu Haijun Port go.  Therefore, they have made the most thorough deployment here, equipped with the largest number of anti-aircraft weapons, allocated the most abundant supplies, and have more elite soldiers.  And Isoroku Yamamoto, a naval aviation expert, was specially transferred here to be responsible for the defense of Kure Naval Port.
