Chapter 162: Fight to the death! The decision of the South China Sea! (IV)

The submarine troops who were responsible for reconnaissance and surveillance missions reported that a large number of enemy ships were opened to Singapore Port!

Ma Shengyu subconsciously pointed the position of his right ear.

During the South China Sea Battle to annihilate the Russian Second Pacific Fleet ten years ago, Ma Shengyu, who was the commander of the patrol team, was cut off his right ear by shrapnel. From then on, when it was tense, Ma Shengyu would involuntarily reach out to the place, as if

This way you can put your ears back...

The ears couldn't go back, and of course they couldn't escape this battle. The General Staff's judgment was correct, and the British did move quickly and quickly.

The main force of the 2nd Fleet went up directly and re-enacted the South China Sea Massacre?

Save it, at this moment, at that moment, at that moment, the old guys in the 2nd Fleet are outdated after all, and if they fight directly, they will be slaughtered by the other party.

Not to mention anything else, that Malaya can at least be as fast as three or four Rui fonts. The speed of the cruiser is enough to keep an appropriate distance from Rui font at any time, and then the world's number one main gun is effective in Rui font.

Shooting, killing outside the range... I'm sure!

In this way, we can only let the shore-based aviation and surface, and the underwater lightning strike forces consume the strength of the enemy fleet one after another, and then use the main force to fight the enemy to the decisive battle—

From this point of view, the most suitable decisive battle location should be... Halong Bay!

The purpose of the enemy fleet's attack is naturally to seek a decisive battle with the main force of our South China Sea fleet. The second is to destroy our landing fleet as much as possible, attack our sea transportation strength, and delay our landing operation.

Yesterday, the main force of the 2nd Fleet was still shelling Haifang Port, and at this time, the Halong Bay gathered a large number of ships that transported the landing of the Asian Liberation Army. It was logical for the enemy to choose Halong Bay as the target of attack.

For us, Halong Bay is within the cross-strike range of our army's multiple aviation bases, and there are many islands around Halong Bay, which is very suitable for torpedo boat troops to attack in covertly. Our submarine troops are very familiar with the water conditions of the Beibu Gulf.

This battle will surely damage the enemy fleet to the greatest extent.

However, the other party does not have the only option.

At present, the Philippines' operations are in full swing. The 100,000 troops of the Seventh Army landed on land in Lingayan Bay and Subic Bay in batches, where there are also large fleets of transport ships. Due to the restrictions on beachhead conditions, it takes a long time.

It will take time to complete the unloading, and the main force of the 3rd Fleet has been bombarding the fortress at the entrance of Manila Bay these days - the enemy also has sufficient reason to attack the Philippines.

If so, due to the limited range of combat aircraft, the shore-based aviation can only launch an attack when the enemy ships drive to the near Lingayan Bay during the day, and if the enemy ships only attack Subic Bay or enter Lingayan at night, they only drive to Lingayan at the same time.

Bay, the twelve squadrons of bombers were completely useless.

There are other possibilities, such as the enemy fleet heading straight to our local port - although it will face great risks, if the other party really breaks through the warning circle (it is still possible to do it while night is night), because the navy

The reserve force has been drawn to its limit, and the local ports can almost be defended by coastal turrets.

However, for many years, the Navy has implemented offensive strategies and put the development of fleet as its top priority. There are very few resources allocated to the shore defense forces. After the rise of the naval aviation force, shore defense has become even more abandoned. Most coastal artillery units are either outdated or infrastructure is disrepaired.

Many newly opened commercial ports are even more defensive.

Hit my homeland, bombard my harbor, destroy merchant ships in the harbor, and at the same time force my main fleet to come and fight - it doesn't seem completely impossible.

What exactly is the other party’s goal?

By determining the opponent's true intentions as soon as possible, you can gather the largest force on the predetermined battlefield and give the enemy the strongest blow.

Otherwise, you have to divide your troops everywhere, and the defense of a single area will naturally be greatly reduced, and the main force of your own fleet may not be able to participate in the war at the right time - or even miss the opportunity to fight with the enemy.

Time is tight, and the ships on the cordon alone can obviously not immediately determine the destination of the enemy fleet, so they can only whip the base camp to ask for information. The overall intelligence collection power of the empire must always be better than a single fleet.

Thinking of this, Ma Shengyu called an intelligence consultant and drafted a telegram to the base camp and sent it immediately.

However, it is not enough to just pin your hopes on the base camp. You have to consider the worst case... the worst case...

The capital, the headquarters of the East Asian coalition forces, and the headquarters of the Joint Staff.

The luxurious hall in Xinhua Palace where thousands of people can gather is divided into several large compartments. Each compartment has a large picture table worth more than ten meters square, and there are some trees on each picture table.

Small models - infantry, cavalry, combat chariot, cannon, aircraft, ship... The models usually have two colors, with numbers or Chinese characters engraved on them - used to represent the number of troops.

According to the instructions of the rotating chief officer, every once in a while, the beautiful girl in the uniform at the picture table used a long push rod to push the small model to a designated position, and used pieces of paper with different colors to spell out the activities of each small model.

Trajectory. Standing on the command platform two or three meters above the side of the picture table, you can also appreciate the beautiful girl lowered her body to push the attractive posture of the small model and the changes in the situation of the enemy and us in various war zones.

Staff officers or messengers are constantly entering and leaving these compartments, submitting the latest information to the working group on the command platform, and from time to time, senior generals are entering and leaving these compartments to confirm the situation of the war zone, and sometimes orders are issued on the spot.

Chief of General Staff Liu Bailiang and Chief of Navy Yan Fu were at this time on the map table in the South China Sea war zone, silently watching the beautiful girls - no, probably the movement of the small models on the map table...

The rotating chief officer called a command mechanically: "A large surface formation in Singapore is passing the cordon of the 2nd Fleet submarine. The number of enemy ships is forty to seventy, including a large number of main ship-class combat ships. Note that No. 2

, to the horizontal line, one special English-shaped ship mark is placed in the horizontal line…”

"Where is the target of the enemy fleet? Is there no exact information yet?"

Liu Bailiang asked the chief officer, but the other party still answered like a machine that no.

"Let me introduce the defense status of several landing fields in the Philippines and Vietnam to the Chief of Staff." Yan Fu said to the chief officer.

"Yes, please look here." The chief officer picked up a teaching stick next to him that was several heads taller than him, and compared it to the picture table below.

"The two landing fields in the Philippines are mainly protected by the 3rd Fleet. As of 9:00 this morning, Lingayan Bay has deployed:

The 8 old light patrols of the 3rd and 11th teams of the North Korean Light Cruise,

North Korea expels 12 destroyers from the 3rd and 11th teams,

8 submarines of the 4th Fleet of North Korea,

and 30 torpedo boats and 4 gunboats drawn from the North Korean Coast Defense Guard.”

“Subic Bay deployed:

The 8 old light patrols of the 5th and 11th teams of the Japanese Light Tournament,

Japan expels 11 destroyers from the 3rd, 4th, and 11th teams,

A total of 8 submarine ships of the 2nd Japanese submarine ship and the 1st Chinese submarine ship team of the 6th Chinese submarine ship team,

and 36 torpedo boats and 6 gunboats drawn from the Japanese Coast Defense local team.”

"The Manila Bay is now under the main force of the 2nd Fleet to implement a close blockade, including 6 old-style light patrols, 8 destroyers and 4 submarines."

"The 2nd Fleet is now responsible for protecting the Halong Bay landing site in Vietnam, and the deployment is:

The 4 light patrols of the second Japanese light patrol team,

8 large torpedo boats of the 3rd Empire Lightning Strike Team,

40 torpedo boats and 11 gunboats were called out from the Imperial Coast Defense Guard.”
