Since Ouyang Yun successfully established the Xuebing Army's first overseas military base in Karachi, the Japanese have been aware of its threat, and the New Delhi secret service was born in response to this. From that time, Koizumi Minichiro began to target It was necessary to permanently strengthen the defense of the Strait of Malacca and Sumatra to prevent the cadet army from attacking the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra from the Indian Ocean. However, in the following nearly two years, such a thing never happened. Although Koizumi still maintained a high degree of vigilance, But he couldn't control the generals on the front line. Therefore, although the Japanese army's defense was very tight from the military map, in fact it was not the case. This is why Zhang Haixiang and the others were able to destroy a coastal defense radar station with only 19 people. The reason is that without the eyes and ears of the sea defense radar station, Koizumi's army deployed with Sima Wei as the center became blind and deaf. Therefore, by the time the Japanese air defense radar discovered the enemy's situation, everything was too late.
The Wudao Tianwang aircraft carrier fleet has a total of six aircraft carriers. Each aircraft carrier has a carrying capacity of 70 aircraft. The size of its naval aviation force is about 400 fighter planes. Although Chen Yuanyang only sent half of the fighter planes to participate in the air strike out of caution. , but because the distance is extremely close, only about a hundred kilometers, it only takes about ten minutes to arrive at the speed of the Chinese sturgeon, and for the golden eagle, the time is even halved, so for the Japanese troops near Simawei, Sumatra For them, the blow came suddenly and they had no time to react.
The primary target of the naval aviation force of the Wuchutianwang aircraft carrier fleet was Aqie Airport, about 60 kilometers away from Sima Wei. When Wang Kuang led the Wuchutianwang fighter group to appear in the sky above Aqie Airport, the Japanese troops stationed at the airport The pilots of the land-based naval aviation small island group had just boarded the fighter plane. "Uh-huh..." The heavy bomb carried by the golden eagle roared down from the sky. Kojima Mingshan, the captain of the small island group, looked up and a look appeared on his face. look of despair,
"Golden Eagle, the Chinese Golden Eagle." One of his men shouted on the public channel. The next moment, a deafening explosion sounded, and Xiaodao's sight was obscured by fire. He cursed "Ba Ge" angrily, I closed my eyes unwillingly,
The Kojima Brigade failed to take off and was destroyed in a series of explosions along with the Ache Airport. Waiting for the HNA force to surrender the air superiority to the HNA force that destroyed the Tianwang aircraft carrier fleet, and as some of the forts along the coast of Simawei were destroyed by the Chinese Sturgeon. , but in about half an hour, the Japanese troops stationed in the Simawei area completely lost their resistance.
A quarter of an hour after Ache was bombed, Koizumi Minichiro received the report. He was brushing his teeth and stood stunned in the bathroom. He was stunned for a long time before he recovered. He hurriedly rinsed his mouth, not even the foam at the corner of his mouth. He wiped it away and ran straight to the communications office. On the way, he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Xiangcun, this bastard, I just asked him to strengthen his defense yesterday. What's going on?"
Yes, Koizumi had already expected that the Xuebing Army might seek a breakthrough from Sumatra, and he had specially prepared several countermeasures for this purpose, but now it seems that all this is in vain, regardless of whether the countermeasures he came up with are targeted. However, what can he do if the officers and troops on the front line are not able to help him? For example, Xiang Cun, whom he has high hopes for, and Xiang Cun MCC, at this time, instead of staying on the front line as Koizumi requested, he is actually working on the front line. He was hurriedly ordering his men to pack up the wealth he had accumulated in Sima Wei and prepare to escape.
Speaking of which, this kind of thing happened thanks to Ouyang Yun and Dan Renxiong's plan of "stealing the sky and changing the sun", because the "stealing the sky and changing the sun" plan led to the emergence of fierce generals like Wang Mingcheng and Jiang Yige in the Osaka Fourth Division. As a result, Koizumi's opposition to The officer corps of the 4th Osaka Division had a favorable impression and hope as a whole. As a result, the life of Aimura, a typical Osaka hawker, changed. He was obviously greedy for life and afraid of death, but he was given the important task by Koizumi.
Koizumi was still thinking about doing everything he could to save the situation, but he just put Xiang Cun, the front-line commander, no matter how good a plan he had. In less than five minutes, Koizumi ran into the communication room, and then, the little devil His face became completely gloomy. The staff officer on duty in the communication room continued to call the Xiangcun headquarters at his request, but no one answered the phone without exception. Xiaoquan forced himself to wait for another ten minutes. After ten minutes, he Completely despairing,
"Xiang Cun, you bastard." He scolded Xiang Cun angrily again. Koizumi sat down on a chair in the communications room and began to frown and think about other countermeasures. Ten minutes later, he raised his head and asked the communications staff officer on duty for help. Yamamoto Isoroku generated electricity and reported this incident along with his own thoughts,
"...What is certain is that the Chinese people did this to avoid a naval battle in the Strait of Malacca. They calculated that Sumatra is the lifeblood of our army and we cannot sit idly by. Therefore, I believe that the real purpose of the Chinese people's move is to lure our Wujiu The aircraft carrier fleet entered the Indian Ocean for a decisive battle with it..."
Yamamoto had returned to Tokyo at this time. On the plane back to Tokyo, the old Japanese had already analyzed the possible actions that the Xuebing Army would take next. He also thought that the Xuebing Army would probably attack Sumatra next, so he took the next step. He did not express surprise after receiving this report. Of course, although he was prepared in his heart, he was still stumped.
"What a mistake. After seizing the Malay Peninsula, the combined fleet should have made an all-out westward march." The old Japanese thought of this with the benefit of hindsight, and then he began to think about the aftermath as if he was constipated. It was not that Yamamoto was incompetent, but Ouyang Yun's hand was too cruel. To use an inappropriate metaphor, Sumatra is now Japan's egg. It is impossible to remain indifferent when someone pinches the egg. But the question is, it is really worth it for the egg. Give me an arm? Comparing the Takeku aircraft carrier fleet to an arm in Japan today is not an exaggeration at all. After the Battle of the Solomon Sea, the Takeku aircraft carrier fleet, as the only large-scale ocean-going fleet under the Japanese Combined Fleet that has maintained a complete organization, has Not only does it involve the Japanese military's Pacific strategy, but it also concerns the security of the homeland, because once the Takeku aircraft carrier fleet is defeated or even destroyed, Japan will not only no longer have the ability to take the initiative to attack, it will not even be able to prevent the Pacific Fleet from spying on the Japanese mainland. As for whether the Takeku aircraft carrier fleet that took the initiative to attack the Indian Ocean could escape unscathed after defeating the Takeku Tenno aircraft carrier fleet, after experiencing the battles in the Timor Sea and the Solomon Sea, Yamamoto no longer even dared to entertain this idea.
"This will be the biggest crisis the empire has faced so far." In the end, Yamamoto, who was at a loss what to do, had to come to this conclusion bitterly, and unwillingly reported to Konoe Fumimaro to ask him to make a decision.
