The Thirteenth Division and the Sixteenth Division were transferred in too hastily, so although the two divisions each had a regiment-sized field artillery unit, these field artillery units were installed together and could not be dragged out and put into use. In battle, their naval guns were limited and they had no controllable heavy weapons. Considering the past achievements of the Wolf Fang, Kawabe Shozo and Ishihara Kanji simply could not muster the determination to fight to the death with this pseudo-Langya. Therefore, despite the casualties, It was really shocking, but in their opinion, it was acceptable. Who said they encountered Wolf Fang? Then, three days later, they saw the Chinese media reports submitted by the intelligence agency and learned that the person who ambushed them was When there was only a guerrilla group of about 500 people, the expressions on the two people's faces were quite wonderful.
Ishihara's face was ashen as he murmured: "Ba Ge, are you just a guerrilla army?"
Riverside's face turned red and he cursed: "The Chinese people are getting more and more despicable. The guerrillas, do the guerrillas have such strong combat power?"
Gold will shine wherever it is. After Fox Thirteen moved to the battlefield behind enemy lines, he undoubtedly created a miracle again.
Fox Shisan ambushed the main force of nearly 40,000 Japanese troops with only 500 guerrillas. He only suffered less than 200 casualties, but he succeeded in sinking more than 30 enemy ships and killing 3,400 Japanese troops. Yu Ming's brilliant record, the impact of this incident was not only the number of Japanese soldiers killed, but also a heavy blow to the morale of the Japanese army. When this news was reported to the Xuebing Army Headquarters by Hu Tong Taixing's team, it was then spread to all frontline departments At that time, Jiang Guangnai and Liu Yuqing felt as if they had been slapped in the face. Could it be that their majestic regular army was worse than those guerrilla troops? Such thoughts came to their minds. Both of them felt that they must work hard, so when the Japanese army When the 13th Division and the 16th Division were making adjustments in Nanjing in disgrace, they launched an offensive of unprecedented scale. It only took one and a half hours to break through the Nanou water defense line that Ono Shengji had worked so hard to manage. Afterwards, they marched a hundred kilometers and captured Taizhou in one fell swoop.
After Taizhou was captured, Ono Katsuji felt that the situation was over, and before committing suicide by caesarean section, he called Okamura Neiji, requesting permission for the remnants of the South China Corps to retreat from the sea. Okamura Neiji felt that the 13th Division and the 16th Division were The regiment's morale plummeted after encountering the Jiangxinzhou ambush. Even if they could rush to the battlefield in southeastern Zhejiang, they could not change the situation. They had to accept the reality and agreed to his request.
The little devils were finally willing to give up southeastern Zhejiang, and the stickmen naturally wanted it. However, at this time, the dominance of the battlefield was already in the hands of the student army. If they wanted to escape, they had to ask Ye Zhao, Rao Guohua, Jiang Guangnai and the others if they agreed.
A two-week encirclement and suppression campaign began. By September 11, the three divisions and seven independent brigades of the South China Corps totaled more than 60,000 soldiers. Except for about 5,000 people who fled to Shanghai by boat, all others were wiped out. , also wiped out were the National Salvation and Peace Army of about 20,000 people,
By September 14, the Xuebing Army eliminated the remnants of the Korean puppet army and various county and city security groups entrenched in southeastern Zhejiang, and stationed heavy troops in Shaoxing, Tonglu, and Jiande on the south bank of the Qiantang River. With the situation under control, this counterattack strategy has been successfully completed.
Just when the Xuebing Army gathered the strength of the two legions to fight to regain southeastern Zhejiang, on September 3, at the Sasebo naval port in Japan, as Yamamoto Isoroku boarded the "Yamato" aircraft carrier, the Japanese had long planned " Tiger, tiger, tiger." The action finally kicked off,
In order to destroy the American Pacific Fleet in one fell swoop, the Japanese really went all out this time, with seven aircraft carriers, four battleships, 11 destroyers, five heavy cruisers, 13 submarines, 11 large supply ships, and troop transports Four ships, plus various types of tactical ships, the total number of ships reached eighty-three.
Affected by Koizumi Minichiro, the Japanese concept of naval warfare has completely changed. They have attached unprecedented importance to aircraft carrier tactics. Therefore, aircraft carriers have naturally become the top priority of this operation. Yamamoto is indeed a gambler. Not only did he incorporate the newly formed "Yamato" and "Wuwei" into the air raid force, but he also brought in three aircraft carriers that had just been launched and had not yet completed trials.
The seven aircraft carriers, "Yamato" and "Wuwei" can be called giants. These two aircraft carriers were formerly battleships. They have a design displacement of 65,000 tons and a full load displacement of 72,808 tons. These two data alone have already surpassed the current aircraft carriers. The main battleships currently in service or under construction of the naval powers are far inferior to each other. After being modified and equipped with a second-layer flight deck, the two ships can carry a huge amount of aircraft. After carrying one hundred and ten After the three main fighters, they can actually carry eight more water torpedo attack aircraft.
After these two giant aircraft carriers, there are three heavy aircraft carriers: Soryu, Zuikaku and Shokaku. After these three aircraft carriers were upgraded with carrier-based aircraft mainly based on Zero, Although the number of aircraft carried has decreased compared with before design, it has reached fifty-four, seventy-four, and seventy-four respectively.
After that, there are two light aircraft carriers, "Chongying" and "Daying", each of which can carry twenty-three aircraft.
There are a total of 490 fighter planes, two-thirds of which are bombers and torpedo planes. It is no exaggeration to say that this strike force alone is enough to level the U.S. Pearl Harbor Naval Base.
"Woo,." The whistle sounded, and the "Yamato" slowly left the dock under the tug of four tugboats. Yamamoto Isoroku stood on the deck outside the four-story building on the island, holding the railing and looking towards the dock. Seeing Mitsumasa Yoneuchi and other senior officials in the cabinet and military raising their hands to salute him, his eyes lit up, he stood at attention and returned the salute, silently thinking in his heart: "Gentlemen, please rest assured, we will definitely succeed. In eleven days, the empire will be conquered." When the navy soared into the sky."
It took about three hours for the combined fleet to all leave the port and complete the formation. During this time, in Singapore under heavy rain, in the office of Hara Yamamoto, the headquarters of the Japanese Western Expedition Fleet, Koizumi Minichiro stood by the window and witnessed the courtyard. The rain was getting heavier inside and he murmured: "Will history change? It will definitely happen, because I'm here."
In order to win by surprise, the Japanese kept the "Tiger, Tiger, Tiger" operation very secret. Before the operation began, there were no more than twenty people who knew about it, and most of the Japanese who participated in the operation were not informed of it until a week later. travel purpose,
There is a reason why the Japanese are so cautious. Yamamoto Isoroku and others know that Japan’s strength is simply not enough to compete with the United States, so before the operation succeeds, this is actually a big bet before.
The Japanese thought they were unaware of the ghosts, but they didn't know that just two days after Yamamoto and others left the Sasebo military port, their mortal enemy Ouyang Yun, the biggest obstacle to the Imperial China incident, received the relevant report and made accurate inferences based on it.
