When Matsui Iwane walked out of the headquarters, the aerial spectacle created by the Second Special Artillery Brigade was coming to an end. The old Japanese knew that Yamamoto Isoroku would dispatch all fighter planes to assist in the Fuding battlefield. He was invited out of the headquarters by his staff and stood at the headquarters. Looking towards the airspace where the air battle took place, the old Japanese still didn't know that the remaining fighters of the Combined Fleet's aviation group had fled the battlefield. He only saw dozens of Baijis chasing southward. He asked the staff officer beside him: "The naval aviation force has not yet Are you here?"
"Your Excellency, they were defeated by the Chinese." The staff officer saw that scene and said with a sad face,
"What, the Chinese are out in force but they don't have enough fighter planes."
"No, sir, they were defeated by the Chinese anti-aircraft troops."
Matsui Iwane turned to look at him doubtfully and asked, "How many fighter planes did they dispatch?"
"No less than a hundred."
"What, Xiaoye, please explain it clearly."
"Sir, the Chinese anti-aircraft fire is extremely fierce. Didn't you see that the entire airspace is almost filled with anti-aircraft shells."
"Nonsense, how many anti-aircraft artillery will be used? The Chinese only have two divisions of regular troops in Fuding."
"Sir, it's true. I saw it with my own eyes."
Matsui Iwane felt the seriousness of the problem. He looked at the others. The Japs nodded one after another, all of them looking like mourning concubines. One of them said: "Your Excellency, Commander, you haven't seen that the Imperial fighter planes seem to have collectively lost control." , scrambling to fall down." People who have not seen that scene with their own eyes cannot believe this result. Matsui Iwane scolded: "Ba Ge, why are anti-aircraft artillery so powerful? Don't shake the morale of the military."
None of the Japanese dared to say anything. Matsui Iwane glanced at everyone again and walked into the headquarters full of questions.
On the sea more than a hundred kilometers southeast of Fuding, in the captain's room of the aircraft carrier "Hosho", the flagship of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet, Yamamoto Isoroku, Tsukahara 243 and others were talking about something around a map. A major staff officer came in with a telegram,
"Report, Your Excellency, there is a call from the 'Fuyu'."
"Bring it here." Yamamoto said, standing up straight and taking the telegram from the Major Staff Officer. He glanced at it hastily and his expression changed.
"Fuyu" is a radar surveillance ship converted from a light escort ship. The ship's radar surveillance crew suddenly discovered that the dense fighter group on its side suddenly became sparse. After the ship's captain personally verified it, he realized that something was wrong. , sent this telegram to Yamamoto,
The United Fleet was frightened by the "sink". Before Koizumi Minichiro invented radar, they would never dare to get too close to the coast of Fujian. After sending out all the fleet's fighter planes with great fanfare, Yamamoto was worried about being caught by the cadet army. Taking advantage of the opportunity, another "sink" was launched, so many radar surveillance ships were dispatched to the coast of Fujian and the coast of Guangzhou.
In the joint land, sea and air offensive planned by Hisao Tani this morning, the joint fleet plays a very important role. Among them, the joint aviation force led by Sankey Yamabekawa is the top priority. According to the plan, they will first help the 6th Division to solve the problem. The artillery force of the Xuebing Army on the front line in Fuding then supported the Fuzhou battlefield, destroying the coastal fortifications of the Xuebing Army that hindered the Marine Corps from seizing the beach, and cooperated with a division of the Marine Corps to establish a landing battlefield on the coast of Fuzhou.
The plan was perfect, but because it relied too much on the joint aviation force led by Yamabegawa Sankey, an embarrassing scene occurred. With the joint aviation force led by Yamabegawa Sankeyi suffering a devastating blow, the combined fleet now cannot even be launched. The beach landing battle has begun, and even self-protection has become a problem. This is why Yamabe immediately evacuated without thinking of revenge after suffering a big loss. The combined fleet's current air power is only the twenty or so. A fighter jet,
There was still smoke curling up from the two military ports of the Taipei Combined Fleet. Yamamoto did not dare to take the risk of letting the aviation force of the Xuebing Army test the air defense capabilities of the Combined Fleet. The old Japanese had a gloomy face and immediately issued an order to evacuate the entire coast of Fujian. At that time, the landing fleet under his command was only more than 20 nautical miles away from the coast of Fuzhou.
The commander of the landing fleet is Masafumi Arima. The fleet uses the battleship "Ise" as its flagship, and has two heavy cruisers, three frigates, several landing ships and other gunboats. The fleet is slowly approaching the coast of Fuzhou. And as soon as they left the combined fleet, they were targeted by Chen Yuanyang's Dongshan Fleet.
The three armies of the Xuebing Army are fully organized, but so far, the Navy seems to be asleep and has not been able to play a role. However, in terms of military expenditures, the Navy consumes the most. Therefore, although due to Ouyang Yun's suppression, the Army Neither Chen Ce nor Chen Yuanyang, as well as senior officers of the Air Force, had any objections to this, but Chen Ce, Chen Yuanyang and the naval officers under their command were burdened with this. They always thought about when they could show their ability and prove their worth to the world.
The Xuebing Army Navy is divided into two fleets, namely the Dongshan Fleet and the Haikou Fleet. Among them, the Dongshan Fleet focuses on developing torpedo boats and submarines, while the Haikou Fleet builds supporting ships for aircraft carriers. The Dongshan Fleet once participated in the bombing of the United Fleet and Hainan Airlines. The losses were heavy. Chen Yuanyang and other officers and soldiers of the Dongshan Fleet were thinking about avenging this arrow all the time. But now, the opportunity has come.
After nearly two years of development, the Dongshan Fleet is no longer what it used to be. Both the high-speed torpedo boat force and the submarine force have become the norm. Submarines are regarded by Ouyang Yun as their trump card. They are definitely not allowed to be used until the last moment. Then, the high-speed torpedo boat force will be dispatched. The torpedo boat force is ready,
Unbeknownst to Yamamoto Isoroku, just as he was leading the combined fleet to prepare for a "land, sea and air" joint operation with Hisao Tani, in Quanzhou Bay, Chen Yuanyang, the second-in-command of the Xuebing Army Navy, also assembled four brigades with a total of fifty The remaining high-speed torpedo boats are preparing to surprise them.
After several years of construction, the coastal defense radar force of the Xuebing Army has become mature. Isoroku Yamamoto thought that with radar warning, he could avoid the risk of being "sinked" again. However, he did not know that the radar technology of the Xuebing Army was different from that of the Xuebing Army. In comparison, they were actually just toddlers. As soon as Arima Masabumi's landing fleet left the combined fleet, Chen Yuanyang received a report from the coastal defense radar unit. He didn't care about the size of the Japanese landing fleet and did not hesitate. All the more than fifty high-speed torpedo boats under his command were released. The commander of the torpedo boat force was Qi Minghao, deputy commander of the Dongshan Fleet and captain of the torpedo boat fleet. Before setting off, Chen Yuanyang told Qi Minghao: "Xiao Qi, our navy We have been dormant for too long, and it’s time for the world to pay attention to us. In this battle, I don’t expect you to sink many enemy ships, but you must show your own style and momentum. Our navy is definitely not a freeloader."
Qi Minghao solemnly returned the military salute and said neatly: "Commander, please rest assured, none of your subordinates will embarrass our navy." Then, he turned around and boarded the ship, stood at the bow of the ship and saluted Chen Yuanyang again. Then he loudly ordered: "Sound the whistle and set sail."
"Woo," the whistle sounded, and more than fifty torpedo boats left the military port one by one, and then broke through the waves in the east along the long-explored coast route.
