Chapter 540 The battle is imminent
Colonel Tahara was majestic and stood solemnly in the command room of the bridge, staring forward. Through the wide and bright glass windows, a small island appeared and was looming in the morning light. It was the smallest Chiwu Island among the four northern islands.
The warship he stood on was a newly opened snow-class destroyer "Shuxue". As the newly appointed captain, he was very proud of his navy standing up so quickly.
Their Japanese naval forces had just experienced an unprecedented disaster. It was precisely because of this disaster that Tian Yuan had the opportunity to be promoted to the captain and realized his dream of becoming a captain when he was a child.
As an officer of the Imperial Navy, the captain is a position and an honor, but at the same time, the responsibility is surprisingly heavy.
The mission of the Imperial Navy is undoubtedly to defend the country and protect the territory. However, the Chiwu Island in front and the few small islands further away are like a steel needle, which always hurts the nerves of every Imperial Navy officer and soldier.
Along with the "Spring Xue" destroyer, there is also a Perry-class frigate from the United States. Although the Perry-class frigate is extremely behind the United States, their arrival is a stream of fresh blood and an extremely powerful maritime power for the Japanese Navy.
Colonel Tahara's "Haruxue" destroyer and Perry-class frigate have been patrolling here for several days. Today, they will prepare to hold a live-fire drill near Chiwu Island with several warships that they arrived later.
This exercise is of great significance to Tian Yuan because it was his first military operation since he took office as captain. Therefore, he seemed calm on the surface, but in fact he was surging and could not calm down.
In fact, according to Tahara's idea, he wanted to go to the western part of the Edge Island to conduct military exercises, because it was the Sea of Okhotsk and was close to Kuye Island. If the military exercises were held there, it would be more meaningful. Unfortunately, the Japanese side did not do that, and I think they were still afraid of the terrifying devil of the great hero.
Regarding this great hero, Tian Yuan believed that he was a hero, a demon king in troubled times, and a shameful invader.
In recent years, Japan and the Soviet Union have negotiated many times on the ownership of the four northern islands. Although there are many difficulties, the Soviet Union has never intended to give up. However, after the arrogant heroes went to war with the Soviet Union and occupied the four northern islands, Japan suddenly seemed to see no hope. Even a large area of the Soviet Union's territory was occupied. It became an unattainable dream for Japan to seek the four northern islands again.
There was not much solution for Japan to imagine, but with the rapid rise of the power of the Mid-level affairs, Japan finally saw a glimmer of hope.
Tahara didn't know whether the top leaders of the Japanese country had reached any agreement with the United States, nor did he care whether Japan was used by the Americans. What he cared about was whether it had the power to fight against the great heroes. If the Americans were helped, Japan could regain the four northern islands in one fell swoop, which would be a great contribution to the entire Japanese nation.
It is reported that three American aircraft carriers are ready to go and are preparing to come to Japan. The two new warships they have just entered service have also set off from their homeland to Hawaii. This is great news.
In addition, nearly twenty fighter jets equipped with laser cannons in the United States have arrived in Hawaii. If the tanker is supported, these high-speed fighter jets carrying laser can effectively suppress the airspace of the four northern islands.
There are also the ten times the sound ultra-high-speed fighter recently equipped by the United States. They have also quietly arrived at Guam Airport. These ultra-high-speed fighters are not only astonishingly fast, but are said to be very deterrent. They are likely to be equipped with the newly developed miniaturized electromagnetic guns by the United States!
Tian Yuan felt very at ease. Although the great hero was powerful, he was like a bottomless duckweed after all. He started as a small arms merchant. Although he conquered cities and land in a short time, he could not withstand the strong foundation of the United States.
The great hero takes advantage of the situation, but may not win every time. The United States can withstand defeats again and again, but the great hero will definitely not withstand a crushing defeat. This is the difference between the great hero and the United States.
Tian Yuan attaches great importance to this exercise, and at the same time he also feels that the exercise is not much challenging. Since this sea area belongs to Japan in a strict sense, it is not related to the great hero. As the destroyer captain, Tian Yuan hopes that the great hero can protest a few times, so that he may be more excited during the exercise.
After a hurry to have breakfast, the follow-up troops participating in the exercise finally arrived at the exercise area. Tianhara also ended his brief leisure time and began his busy military exercise mission.
The fleet organized the team, deployed military exercise tasks, read out the details of the military exercises, and after a series of preparations were completed, the fleet immediately acted separately and began the formal military exercises.
Looking at the naval ships participating in the military exercise, Tian Yuan felt very uncomfortable. The Japanese Navy, which had a neat lineup in the past, is now only these old things left, which is really frustrating.
"Boom..." A series of violent shellings pulled Tian Yuan back from his thoughts. He cheered up and began to issue orders to the officers and soldiers of the ship.
Just after Japan started military exercises near the four northern islands, Fang Shijie's fleet from Palawan to the Bering Strait had already arrived at Kyushu Island, the southernmost part of Japan.
When the Japanese troops fired the first shot in the southeast of Chiwu Island, Fang Shijie immediately ordered the cruiser "Magic" to launch a tit-for-tat attack on Kyushu Island.
The "Magic" cruiser launched a limited missile attack on the Kagoshima Military Port, and several long-range ground missiles flew directly to a command center at the Kagoshima Military Port.
The Japanese did not expect that the heroes would launch an attack on their military port for no reason, and they immediately panicked. While urgently commanding ground air defense artillery fire to intercept missiles, they angrily raised the most severe protest to the Palawan government.
Several high-speed missiles broke through several blockades and accurately hit a command center in Kagoshima military port. Because the missile speed was too fast, the Japanese were not in time to withdraw, so they immediately caused dozens of casualties.
Faced with such almost arrogant and unreasonable behavior as the heroes, all the Japanese were indignant, and they asked the government to launch a counterattack against the heroes immediately.
In fact, the reason why Fang Shijie attacked Japan unreasonably was that he wanted to chop off the claws that Japan stretched out again, and the other was that he wanted to tell the Americans, "Young Master, I'm not afraid of your new weapon, so if you have the courage, come here!"
The poor Japanese thought they had the support of Americans who sharpened their swords. Japan only held a military exercise, and the great heroes could not attack them because of this. Who would have thought that the great heroes did not follow the rules of the cards and attacked them at an unexpected opportunity in Japan.
On the "Shuxue" destroyer, Captain Tabaragata received the news that their Kyushu Island was attacked, and was so angry that he really wanted to shoot a few shots at Chiwu Island to relieve his hatred.
Not only him, but the entire military exercise unit was in an uproar after learning the news. They asked for battle and took advantage of the opportunity of this military exercise to bombard the four northern islands and control all four islands.
But they soon received news that two great heroes' warships were sailing quickly towards the southern end of Kuye Island, which seemed to protect the safety of residents on the four northern islands.
Despite this, the Japanese troops still strongly demanded a desperate battle with the heroes to maintain their territorial security.
The leader of the Japanese was more anxious than anyone else at this time. The Great Heroes Fleet from the southwest not only had aircraft carriers and cruisers, but also had more than a dozen frigates and missile boats. The Japanese, who were familiar with the combat power of the Great Heroes Fleet, knew very well what the result of a rash war would be.
"We just held military exercises and did not launch a real attack on the four northern islands. Why did he attack us blatantly!" Some congressman said in a frightened and angry manner.
"Fight! I think the most fierce counterattack should be carried out against the heroes! Not only that, we also need to launch an attack on the four northern islands! Even landing and fighting!" A tough warring faction shouted.
Some people said worriedly: "Without the support of the United States, I think we are not sure of winning."
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Shortly after Japan was attacked, just as the Japanese were quarreling whether to launch a counterattack against the powerful enemy, the Japanese Prime Minister quickly received Abbama's assurance that the powerful American Congress firmly helped Japan fight back the despicable invader, the great hero.
After receiving the verbal promise from the old American godfather, from the Emperor of Japan to the Japanese officials, they all became excited as if they had a heart-boosting injection.
Countless Japanese officials had red eyes and held the hilt of the sword in their hands. They made up their minds to drive the heroes out of the Japanese territory.
In just a few hours, almost all the Japanese people knew that the war was coming. They wrote suicide notes to their families, expressing their bold words of sacrifice and blood, and preparing to welcome this destined tragic battle with the fearless spirit of dying generously.
All the Japanese naval and air force units were urgently mobilized on several islands. As they faced two-line combat, the air force units in the central region either rushed to the four northern islands or rushed to the direction of Kyushu Island. Fighting planes were flying everywhere in the sky, and there was a tense atmosphere.
The mobilization of naval forces seemed even more chaotic. Because several major military ports in Japan were spread across several large islands, and there were enemies at both ends of the north and south, warships were running around and heading towards the war zone.
The Japanese army troops have now been gradually marginalized and their strength has shrunk sharply, but their army is small and powerful, and their combat effectiveness is still very strong. After receiving the order, countless tanks rushed out of the hidden underground bunker, and countless Japanese people were riding in combat chariots and rushed to the front line. (To be continued...)
