Chapter 344 The Combined Fleet Dispatches
The fifth team, a first-class cruiser fleet, is commanded by Lieutenant General of the Sun Gaozhuang, and the flagship "Kashikashi Ryuta's voice is high and stable"
"Hi!" Lieutenant General, who was tall and strong, took the order.
"The Sixth World War is considered first-class cruiser fleet. It was Lieutenant General Akihito, flagship "Yoshino"
"Hi!" Lieutenant General Akitsushi and Izumi Akishi took the lead and took the order.
"The other fifteen destroyers and twenty-five torpedo boats are responsible for driving away the submarines of the Di Qin Navy. They serve as a periphery guard and support the operations of various fleets at any time!"
"Hi!" The remaining officers came out in unison and took the orders in unison.
General Yuki Ito continued: "This battle is related to the morale of the Imperial Navy and the future combat operations of the Imperial Navy. I hope you all work together!"
"The Great Japanese Empire, half-durable!! (Long live!)"
"His Majesty the Emperor, half dumb! (Long live!)"
"out!"
"Hi!!!"
At 10 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese Combined Fleet slowly drove out of Yokosuka Naval Base and sailed into Tokyo Bay. At the same time, fifteen destroyers and twenty-five torpedo boats were about to sail out of Tokyo Bay and enter the Pacific Ocean to drive away the surrounding Imperial Qin Navy submarines, as well as searching for the Imperial Qin Navy's four heavy cruisers that Yugo from the Japanese coast.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese Combined Fleet six Huizhuan class battleships, six Fukouzhuan class large armored cruisers, five Hanwubai class armored cruisers, and five old-fashioned armored cruisers. Eleven protective cruisers of different new and old were formed into a six-way column, and followed the opening of the destroyers and torpedo boats in front, sailing out of Tokyo Bay and entering the Pacific Ocean.
This is the time since the declaration of war between China and Japan, the Japanese joint fleet has been bubbling. The Japanese joint fleet, which has always been a turtle, has been known to the Japanese spies in Japan when they sailed out of Tokyo Bay. They reported to their countries.
In the waters outside Tokyo Bay, a dark submarine was swimming nearby. The dorsal fin, five meters high and one meter high tail fin were exposed on the sea surface, and as the submarine advanced rapidly, it broke the wolf in the wind.
On the high dorsal fin, a soldier wearing the dark blue submarine uniform of the Emperor Qin Navy was leaving the passage, holding a telescope to observe the situation in the nearby sea area.
When I saw a large number of Japanese destroyers and torpedo boats coming out, I was shocked first, and then I saw rows of black smoke columns behind me, and immediately bowed my head to inform the commander inside the submarine.
"Report! The Japanese Joint Fleet is out!"
This submarine is the Hailang Na type submarine No. 1. It is also the command ship of Major General Wang Desheng, the commander of the submarine commander.
Major General Wang Desheng hurriedly climbed outside, took the telescope to observe, and said happily: "Damn it, the Japanese finally dare to come out!"
"Commander! This time we finally don't have to attack merchant ships, we'll still be happy to fight warships!"
Major General Wang Desheng patted the soldier's head and said, "Look, you are so proud that you are looking for death! Why don't you rush it quickly!"
Then Major General Wang Desheng returned to the submarine and ordered: "Report to Wangshu and notify them that the Japanese joint fleet has come out, and ask them to be careful!"
"Commander! Judging from the posture of the people of Luo, it seems that they want to drive us away!" said the captain Major Pei Yanlong.
Major General Wang Desheng nodded and said, "Yes! The Japanese are going to make a big move. If you want to destroy the four heavy cruisers of Lieutenant General Yi Suifeng, of course, you have to drive us away first!"
Major Pei Yanlong said disdainfully: The little Japanese think too much of themselves! General Yi and his heavy cruisers are the elite naval forces of the empire!"
Major General Wang Desheng said in agreement: "That's right! They are the elite navy of the empire, and we are the same, but the tiger cannot set up a pack of wolves! It's better to be careful. We just cooperate with their actions. Let's hide away first! Notify all the submarines around and retreat to the periphery!"
"Yes!" Pei Yanlong turned around and ordered: "Prepare to dive!"
Four miles southwest of Tokyo Bay, Japan, Kazushima.
The Emperor Qin Navy's Pacific Fleet heavy cruiser formations, the Wangshu, Shanghai, Feilian and Longjiang are nearby. The environment here is relatively complex and there are many islands and reefs. It is the main channel for Tokyo Bay to the deep sea of Japan and into the Pacific Ocean.
Nearby are Kazushima, Oshima, Zhaishima, Shinjima, and Chitaka Island. To the south, there are also a few hundred large and small ones, including Kazushima, Qingdao, Sumisu Island, etc.
As the main channel, Japan's Tokyo Bay routes to all parts of the world usually begin to spread near the southeast of Kazushima Island, where there are straight routes to China, Hawaii, Luzon, Sydney, and Vancouver.
However, now that due to the war between China and Japan, the Emperor Qin Navy blocked these channels, and many large merchant ships dared not pass here again. Occasionally, several merchant ships were basically neutral ships. Of course, there were also some bold and experienced captains who did not go here and entered Tokyo Bay, Japan from other roads.
On the heavy cruiser of the Wangshu, the formation commander General Yi Suifeng was leisurely looking at the chart, but the chief of staff next to him was writing today's navigation log.
Recently, the four heavy cruisers have achieved fewer and fewer results. They have not been able to fight a Japanese civilian ship for almost several days. According to the usual businessman's thinking of the Emperor Qin soldiers, they can't make money back every day, so they are really depressed.
Fortunately, the commander of the Pacific Fleet Lin Jianzhang will send an emergency telegram in the future that the Japanese Combined Fleet may use their four heavy cruisers to make them be careful.
In this way, Lieutenant General Yi Suifeng was just a little taller than the Qing Dynasty demolition workers. Chapter 344 of the joint fleet dispatched a little fox lantern and immediately studied the nearby nautical charts to learn. "I said Chief of Staff! How do we play hide-and-seek with the Japanese?"
The Chief of Staff still wrote his navigation log and said without raising his head, "What are you trying to catch? Even if the Japanese battleships come, their battleships are only 8 ounces, which is far worse than our ugly ounces. Then you have to stare at us, right? If other armored cruisers come to chase us, wouldn't they go to the cottage with lanterns and seek death?"
Lieutenant General Yi Suifeng nodded and asked, "What you said is that our firepower and level are all kinds of things to fight against the Japanese warships! Even if I encounter their battleships, I dare to stroke a few of his beards! By the way, what should Yuan say be called this heavy cruiser?"
The Chief of Staff put down his pen and turned to Lieutenant General Yi Suifeng and said, "Quarantine Battlecruiser!"
"Yes, yes! Look at my memory!" Lieutenant General Yi Suifeng raised his neck and repeated: "It's a battle cruiser!"
"Quadopter cruiser!" The Chief of Staff corrected: "Our firepower exceeds the current armored cruiser, but our level still cannot catch up with the canine cruiser, so we can only be quasi-battle cruiser. When our steam turbine technology reaches a breakthrough, we can build a real battle cruiser!"
Lieutenant General Yi Suifeng raised his hand and signaled not to be serious with the Chief of Staff, saying, "I say Chief of Staff. We don't need to divide it in such a detailed manner. In a word, except for the enemy's battleships, we are invincible, right?"
The Chief of Staff nodded and said, "You can understand this way!"
"That's all!" Lieutenant General Yi Suifeng lit the chart and signaled to the Chief of Staff, explaining: "I admire the Chief of Staff's knowledge as if the continuous waters of the River and the Yellow River flooded."
"Oh, okay! OK!" The Chief of Staff hurriedly stopped Lieutenant General Yi Suifeng's words and asked:
"Don't always put a high hat on me? As soon as you say this, I will immediately shudder!"
Then he looked at Lieutenant General Yi Suifeng and said, "Lao Yi, I remember that whenever you say this, you must have something to ask me for it!"
Lieutenant General Yi Suifeng smiled and replied: "The Chief of Staff is indeed as wise as a torch! I admire you!
I am very impressed!"
"Stop!" The Chief of Staff smiled bitterly, "Tell me, what are the twists and turns you have?"
Lieutenant General Yi Suifeng pointed to the chart and said while comparing to the top: "Didn't Commander Lin say that once the Japanese Joint Fleet comes out, we must hold back the Japanese Joint Fleet?"
The Chief of Staff nodded and said, "Yes! That's right! Commander Lin ordered us to lead the Japanese fleet to the direction of the Ryukyu Islands. After our main fleet cleared the Russian fleet, we turned around to encircle the Japanese joint fleet!"
Lieutenant General Yi Suifeng pointed to the Naitu and said, "Chief of Staff, look, if we lead the Japanese fleet towards Ryukyu, do you think the Japanese joint fleet will follow us? Since the old Japanese Yuki Ito can think of the tactic of attacking the east and west, how could it be so easy to be deceived?"
The chief of staff frowned and asked, "Are you guys planning to change the combat plan privately?"
Lieutenant General Yi Suifeng said seriously: "I said Chief of Staff, how can you speak like this? Where can I change the combat plan of the Fleet Command privately?"
Then Lieutenant General Yi Suifeng smiled and said, "Chief of Staff, don't you not know? Our staff system clearly stipulates that if the fleet commander wants to change the combat strategy, he must obtain the consent of the Fleet Chief of Staff. If you disagree, how dare I? He has to go to the military court!"
The Chief of Staff was speechless and smiled bitterly, "Yi Suifeng is here again!"
"I really can't do anything to you!" The Chief of Staff smiled bitterly: "Okay! Give you a minute to convince me!"
"Don't solve it! Don't solve it!"
"Mu 19!"
"This time is too short!" Lieutenant General Yi Suifeng said hurriedly.
"Fifty-eight!" The Chief of Staff pinched his pocket watch and looked at Lieutenant General Yi Suifeng with gloating expression.
"Okay!" Lieutenant General Yi Suifeng knew very well that his old friend was deliberately messing with him, but there was no way. Who told him to drag the Chief of Staff into the water?
Ru had to quickly explain to the Chief of Staff why he changed his action plan.
"Yuohiro Ito wants to destroy our fleet. He will definitely come out in full swing and find a way to surround us! The Ryukyu Islands to the east have our White Beach Naval Base, so he will definitely place the main force in the east to prevent us from going back! However, according to the strength of our fleet, they will definitely not stop us! Once we break through their blockade and they also know the power of our battle cruiser, the old Japanese devils will definitely not continue to pursue us! In front of the east is the coastal area of Japan, and the Japanese joint fleet can retreat to the surrounding harbor at any time, which is not conducive to the siege of our Pacific Fleet."
"Forty-three! Forty-two!" The Chief of Staff still shook his head left and right, looking at his head, and made a very annoying look for Lieutenant General Yi Suifeng.
"I mean, if we don't retreat east, go west directly, or retreat south into the Pacific Ocean! The Japanese fleet wants to destroy us. The vast sea of the Pacific Ocean is suitable for them to surround us, and the old Japanese devils Ito Yuki will definitely chase us! If we fight hard and sink several of their warships, Ito Yuki believes that our huge threat will definitely not allow us to escape and pursue us all the way!"
"Twenty-seven! Twenty-six!" The Chief of Staff still shook his head and looked at Lieutenant General Yi Suifeng with fun. Counting the seconds. (To be continued)
