Chapter 48: Opportunity to take advantage of

Yunnan Zhongyi is a torpedo warfare expert, but he was ordered to command the aviation force in future operations? What actually shows from the side is the intensity of the factional struggle within the Japanese Navy. When everyone is in a stalemate, a person with no background is arranged

As for the characters, Nagumo Chuichi happens to be a person with no background and is not involved in aviation.

Due to the dispute between the air faction and the battleship faction, Chuichi Nagumo, who was driven out of the market, had to listen more to the ideas and opinions of his staff when something happened. As the commander of an emerging force such as the naval aviation force, Chuichi Nagumo's command was a bit slow.

Although the overall performance is quite satisfactory, it has lost the effectiveness of the aviation force's decisive assault.

Historically, some people believe that if Nagumo was not commanding the First Air Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, but commanding the Second Combined Fleet consisting of cruisers and destroyers, it might be more in line with Nagumo's personality and capabilities. History has also proven that Nagumo

Chuichi was indeed not the best person to command a large aircraft carrier formation, but he was Japan's most important aircraft carrier formation commander in the early days of the Pacific War. This can only be said to be a great tragedy for the Japanese combined fleet, which had the most powerful aircraft carrier battle group in the world at that time. Anti-Japanese War

Blood Sacrifice to Mountains and Rivers 1108

At this moment, Yunnan Chuichi is standing on the bridge of the Kinu. The light cruiser Natori and six Hatsunami-class destroyers are following closely behind her. However, the Kinu appears to be extremely cautious at this moment. The Kinu is a Nagara-class light cruiser.

The only light cruiser with six ships of the same type, the Nagara, Isuzu, Yura, Avukuma and Kinu among the Nagara-class light cruisers were all built in the late Taisho period and entered into service with the Combined Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy.

of.

The standard displacement of the Ghost Fury is 5170 tons, the full load displacement is 6060 tons, the total length of the hull reaches 162 meters, the width of the ship is 14 meters, the maximum speed reaches 36 knots, and the three front and rear turrets are equipped with one

It has seven main guns of 140 mm and 50 times the caliber, two high-angle guns of 76 mm and 40 times the caliber, eight 610 mm torpedo tubes, and a Japanese surface reconnaissance aircraft.

It is undoubtedly very dangerous for such a behemoth to sail in the Yangtze River without exact channel markings, so the high speed of the Kinu cannot give full play to its advantages. Yunnan Zhongyi is quite concerned about the retreat of the Eighth Squadron that was sent across the river to cross the Central Army.

Words, because this is basically the job of a destroyer. The Nagara-class light cruiser is like a big fish jumping on the shoal. No matter how powerful it is, it will be difficult to display it. This is not only a waste of resources, but also if it is attacked by a Chinese gun emplacement

Attacks and howling ghosts are inevitable.

However, Lieutenant General Kawatani Kiyo's order was an order. Since it was an order, he was not allowed to protest. Yunnan Zhongyi had slowed down his advance because the artillery of the Chinese defenders on the Yanziji fort along the river could easily block the river.

Moreover, due to the elevation angle of the artillery, the 140 mm 50-caliber main gun on the Ghost Fury could only retreat several kilometers away before it could bombard the Yanziji Fort.

The Japanese troops responsible for capturing Yanziji were the 6th Infantry Brigade of the 9th Division. The Brigade Commander was the 7th Infantry Regiment commanded by Major General Akiyama Yoshiyuki. The commander of the regiment was Colonel Isa Kazuo. Isa Kazuo was the son of an authentic Hokkaido fisherman.
