Chapter 232: You can think about something else now

Private Saburo Ishihara was very lucky. In other words, the lookout post on the hilltop where he was located was not in the eyes of the Air Force and Navy heavy artillery at all. It was not worth wasting bombs on such a small building.

During the bombing, Saburo Ishihara was frightened. A private who had never been on the battlefield was working the night shift alone. He was so frightened that he held his head and hid behind the door. Fortunately, his brain was not completely frightened. He found that he might die if he hid in the guard post.

Even faster, he immediately rushed out and hid behind the stone where he had just urinated. The view from this place was very good, and Saburo Ishihara witnessed with his own eyes how the entire Naha military port was turned into ruins.

The first thing to be attacked was the airport. The airport on Naha Island is not far from the military port. You can see with the naked eye that the buildings on the airport were set on fire in a short period of time, with thick smoke billowing and explosions continuing.

Saburo Ishihara has been encouraging the aviation forces, hoping that they can take off in the Zero fighter plane, which is known as the universal fighter, fight bravely with the despicable sneak attackers, and eliminate them. Well, in the Japanese propaganda, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894,

The war between Japan and Russia was initiated by the other side. Japan never engaged in sneak attacks.

Saburo Ishihara soon became disappointed because not a Zero or any other plane took off, and the entire airport quickly turned into a huge fire field. The pillars of blazing flames rose so high that they could reach dozens of miles away.

Everybody can see it.

The airport was bombed, and the several anti-aircraft artillery positions guarding the military port became critical. Saburo Ishihara looked at the artillery positions again, and this time he soon heard the sound of anti-aircraft firepower. The excited Saburo Ishihara hurried back to get a telescope to see clearly.

, and when he saw clearly, he realized that many soldiers were fighting bravely with a piece of cloth under their buttocks. They probably went into battle without having time to put on their clothes. It was really admirable.

Ishihara Saburo's admiration soon turned into grief and anger. The Chinese fighter jets did not stay in the sky and swooped down to drop bombs on the anti-aircraft artillery position. The few dozen guns were quickly killed by the bombs.

More than half of the way through, the firepower became sparse. The Chinese planes were still reluctant to give up, and kept diving repeatedly, with machine guns sweeping around like plowing the ground. The tragic anti-aircraft firepower actually didn't bring down a single plane. Ishihara Saburo didn't.

When I thought about it, the anti-aircraft artillery position was also one of the targets of the first wave of strikes. There were originally more than 40 guns, but more than half of them were destroyed.

Finally, there was no movement at the artillery positions. The Chinese planes finally flew away. But a bigger crisis came. Chinese battleships appeared on the sea like a mountain, and the sound of the huge cannons made Saburo Ishihara's liver and gallbladder split.

As a navy, I know the power of this thing very well. Why does it have to have a caliber of more than 300? Without a 300mm gun, how dare you call it a battleship? As a Japanese navy, Sisi Momo is thinking about sinking China.

How could a member of the battleship navy not see that the battleship's main cannon was being fired at sea?

Ishihara Saburo immediately found a ditch to hide. The planes did not blow up his lookout post. This does not mean that the naval guns did not hit him. The intensive naval gunfire left the whole world with only the sound of explosions, and the entire mountain trembled in the explosions.

At this moment, Saburo Ishihara's body was shaking desperately, praying that the shells would not fall around him.

The main target of the artillery attack was the port. After a period of adaptation, Ishihara Saburo saw that the surrounding area was still not visited. He mustered up the courage to climb out of the ditch and saw that the military port under the hilltop was filled with smoke. The facilities on the dock were bombed into a mess.

, none of the buildings were intact. Ishihara Saburo observed with his telescope and saw with his own eyes that a destroyer was unlucky to be hit by a shell during the bombardment. The entire battleship was directly blown up, and two parts were disconnected in the air.

Duan. It is normal for a destroyer with a displacement of less than 1,000 tons to receive one shell from a 380mm gun.

How long the fierce bombardment lasted, Ishihara Saburo didn't even think about it. He just watched the cannons on the fort fighting back. Ishihara knew very well that there were two 155 cannons on that fort. This kind of artillery was just fine for hitting light cruisers, but it could hit heavy ones.

Patrolling was quite difficult. These were the only two guns that fired back during the entire bombardment. Because their positions were relatively concealed, they were not discovered by air raid aircraft.

But this shell was hit by concentrated fire from large-caliber naval guns during the counterattack. Within half an hour, thick smoke billowed from the fort, and no more shells could be fired.

The worst thing was that the ships in the port did not sink under the bombardment, but they did not escape the last wave of air attacks. The dive bombers used 500 kilograms of bombs to blow up these small ships left in the port. It was really not easy.

When the Chinese fleet finally disappeared, Saburo Ishihara, whose skin was not even scratched, was shaking and thinking about going down to help put out a fire or something, but he found that his crotch was so cold that he was so frightened that he didn't realize it.

The shaky Saburo Ishihara didn't care about that anymore and ran all the way. When he passed a house along the way, he saw a woman at the door, holding a child in her arms and crying. The child was killed in the air raid and was lying on his mother's bed.

There was a look of fear on his face.

This was pretty good. When I went further in, I saw some even more tragic situations. The legendary incendiary bombs that turned Tokyo into ruins turned large blocks into a sea of ​​​​fire. Everyone was busy putting out the fire. Saburo Ishihara saw

His commander, Sergeant Matsui, was directing the firefighting. He quickly ran over and said, "Sir, I'm glad you're okay."

Matsui was a little excited when he saw him, and then sighed with a sad look on his face: "It's really a blessing from God to be able to save a life. Let's not talk about this, hurry up and put out fires and save people, and save every one."

The memory of Sergeant Matsui was that he was a confident officer. After the bombing, he no longer had the same optimistic confidence in the war that he had previously had in his words and deeds. This made Saburo Ishihara deeply puzzled. When he thought about it carefully, Naha was shocked.

The man blocked the door and beat him up. The prospect of this war is really not optimistic.

The combined fleet was resting off the coast of Miyako Prefecture. When he learned that Naha had discovered the Chinese fleet, Yamamoto Isoroku was worried all night long. Yesterday's battle made him deeply aware that the war was going to be bad. After the two aircraft carriers were sunk,

, Japan’s ability to control the sea surface has been greatly weakened. In the future, it will even have to rely on shore-based aircraft from Naha, Miyako and other bases to restrict China’s East China Sea.

When receiving the telegram, Yamamoto Isoroku seemed to have been struck by lightning, and Naha was attacked by the Chinese fleet! Heavy losses! This news finally gave Yamamoto Isoroku the whereabouts of the Third Fleet that had been confused. He was relieved and distressed at the same time.

His brows furrowed, and a trace of bright red overflowed from the corner of his mouth. Yamamoto Isoroku walked to the washstand expressionlessly, spit out the blood in his mouth, and his heart seemed to feel lighter. But what followed was even stronger mental pain.

!

"Since the Meiji Restoration, the empire has been struggling to survive under the scrutiny of the great powers. Finally, it has built a navy that is feared by the great powers and has never been defeated in the four seas. After the battle against horses, the empire established its status as a great power. Who would have thought at that time that

Naha Port will be attacked by the enemy. I am ashamed of my trust in the Emperor!" Yamamoto said to himself. Kuroshima Kameto looked anxious and advised: "Your Excellency, the Imperial Navy cannot do without your command."

Yamamoto nodded: "I know that now is a difficult time for the empire. The navy's strategy must be adjusted." If the sea and air battle in the East China Sea made Yamamoto Isoroku understand that the advantage of the Japanese navy is no longer, then then

The attack on Bajun Port made Yamamoto completely sober. The Japanese Navy could no longer continue its strategic offensive intentions. The next thing to do was to defend. How to use various small islands in the East China Sea to defend and adopt delaying tactics to wait for opportunities to counterattack.

, if we are lucky, Germany will win the European war first, and Japan will have a chance to stand up. Or the Soviet Union will defeat China, and Japan will also have a chance to stand up. Otherwise, Japan's defeat will be a matter of time.

Compared with Yamamoto's vomiting blood, Fang Jianxiong's expression was ecstatic in Shanghai. Naha's hidden and ferocious blow completely exposed the weakness of the Japanese navy to the sight of the Chinese navy. The navy is an offensive arm, and losing

How much variability can the Japanese Navy with offensive capabilities bring to this war? Compared with the Japanese Navy's inability to fight anymore, the Chinese Navy still has seven aircraft carriers. Next, it is up to the Chinese Navy to gather into a powerful fleet.

Transition from strategic confrontation to strategic offensive.

To be honest, Fang Jianxiong couldn't believe that the Japanese Navy's defeat came so quickly, and China is not the United States yet. The distance between China and Japan is too close, the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea are too small, and the Japanese Navy does not have much strategy.

There is room for detours. On the other hand, Japan's entire strategic resources rely on the input of maritime transportation. Without the protection of the navy, wouldn't Japan's maritime transportation lines be able to attack as it wants?

The war room burst into laughter, and the excited young staff officers jumped to their feet. They made noise for a while before calming down. Chen Shaokuan could not close his mouth, and Tang Xiangming pretended to be reserved and brushed his beard with his hand.

"Everyone, I think everyone can't believe the fact that we won the battle so easily." Fang Jianxiong said this, and everyone smiled again. "Next, let's have a meeting, right here, to discuss the future.

strategy."

In the first quarter of 1941, the European battlefield of the Allied Powers fell into a bitter battle. At sea, the Bismarck rushed into the Atlantic Ocean, cunningly evading pursuit time and time again, while causing continuous heavy damage to the entire Atlantic route. In addition, the German submarine

Brutal accomplices, the entire Atlantic route could only be temporarily interrupted in March. In Africa, the British and American troops were at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the German army. Rommel's attacks became more urgent and cruel each time, and the British and American troops in the Egyptian battlefield were forced to retreat.

150 kilometers. In Europe, the British army was forced to withdraw from the Greek battlefield, and then was forced to withdraw from the entire Mediterranean. The British and American navies pursued the Bismarck with all their strength and gave up the route from the Mediterranean to Africa.

It can be said that Britain and the United States have suffered repeatedly. The United States was first taken care of by Japan, and then was taken care of by Germany. At this time, the United States had not yet become a military power in the true sense. The combat effectiveness of its army was compared to Germany's hundreds of battles.

Veterans are really not enough. They are even inferior to Japan. It is conceivable that the United States is just a rich tycoon now.

When Britain and the United States were gloomy and gloomy, a brilliant ray of light floated over China. The Chinese and Japanese navies engaged in a decisive battle in the East China Sea. In the end, the two sides barely managed to draw a tie. However, the Chinese navy dispatched a squadron and succeeded.

carried out a devastating blow to the Naha military port.

Opening the map, it is not difficult to see what the Naha naval port means to the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea. The Japanese navy parked there is like a knife placed in front of the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea, and it may be stabbed at any time. Now this knife is being used

The Chinese smashed it and threw it into the garbage dump. With the destructive power of the Chinese Navy, the Naha naval port could not be restored to its original state within a year. Not to mention that the maritime situation between China and Japan has been completely reversed. The Chinese Navy

With Taiwan and Hainan as bases, if you want to use submarines to attack Japan's transportation lines, use submarines. If you want to send the main fleet to fight the Japanese navy, you can attack them with arrogance.

Under the instruction of the government, Western newspapers reported the results of the Sino-Japanese naval war. Analysts from Wall Street Journal in the United States said: With China’s industrial capabilities, the Chinese navy will add three to four ships and 40,000 ships in at most 16 months.

Ton-class aircraft carrier, the Japanese Navy will be in a state of doom. While sea transportation lines are greatly restricted, the Chinese Air Force is also constantly using strategic bombing to attack Japan's industrial capabilities.

It is foreseeable that the Sino-Japanese War will end with China winning. The only worrying thing is China's war with the Soviet Union. At this time, the Allies are eager to hope that China and the Soviet Union can cease the war. Once the ceasefire is reached, millions of Chinese elites can move to Europe.

battlefield, completely defeating German fascism.

This kind of report can be said to be the mainstream in Europe and the United States. The weak US military team in the early days did indeed disappoint the Americans to some extent.

Others don't know it, but Fang Jianxiong knows very well that once the United States exerts its power, this country's war potential is astonishing. The United States mobilized six million people for the first time, and these six million recruits are still being trained in military camps.

Half a year later, these new soldiers will be brought to the battlefield. After two battles, the United States will have an increase of more than 5 million veterans. On the battlefield, there is a huge difference between new soldiers and veterans. Supplemented by the strong industrial production capacity of the United States,

The United States will become the world's largest military power.

At this time, it is a question of how to position it. We must seize the opportunity to establish a sphere of influence belonging to China before the United States exerts its power. Before, the Japanese navy was powerful, and Fang Jianxiong did not dare to think about this issue. Now it has been determined that the Japanese navy’s
Chapter completed!
