When Matsui Iwane walked out of the headquarters, the aerial spectacle created by the Second Special Artillery Brigade was coming to an end. Knowing 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 in command
Looking toward the airspace where the air battle took place from the department entrance, the old Japanese still didn't know that the remaining fighter planes of the Combined Fleet's aviation force cluster had fled the battlefield. He only saw dozens of Baijis chasing southward, and asked the staff officer beside him: "The naval aviation force is still there?"
Haven’t arrived yet?”
"Your Excellency, they were defeated by the Chinese!" the staff officer said with a sad face when he saw that scene.
"What? The Chinese are dispatched 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 clearly!"
"Sir, the Chinese anti-aircraft fire is particularly 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, and he looked at the others. The Japs nodded one after another, and all of them looked like they were mourning for their heirs. 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 army."
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.
The major staff officer came in with a telegram.
"Report! Your Excellency, the 'Fuyu' is calling!"
"Bring it here!" Yamamoto said and stood up straight. 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. And after sending out all the fleet's fighter planes with great fanfare, Yamamoto was worried about being caught by the cadet army.
To seize the opportunity and try another "sink", 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 combined fleet plays a very important role, especially the combined aviation force led by Sankey Yamabekawa. According to the plan, they will first help the 6th Division to eliminate Fu
The artillery force of the Xuebing Army on the front line of Ding was then used to support 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 Marine Corps to establish a landing battlefield on the coast of Fuzhou.
The plan was perfect, but because it relied too heavily on the joint aviation force led by Yamabegawa Sankey, an embarrassing scene occurred. As the joint aviation force led by Yamabegawa Sankey suffered a devastating blow, let alone launching the combined fleet now
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 force only has about twenty
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 Arima Masaru. The fleet uses the battleship "Ise" as its flagship and has two heavy cruisers, three frigates, several landing ships and other gunboats. The fleet slowly approaches the coast of Fuzhou.
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 felt a psychological burden about this, always thinking 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 the torpedo boat force and submarine force, while the Haikou Fleet builds supporting ships for aircraft carriers. The Dongshan Fleet once suffered bombing losses from the Combined Fleet.
Such a tragedy, Chen Yuanyang and other officers and men of the Dongshan Fleet were thinking about avenging this arrow all the time, and 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-power torpedo boat force and the submarine force have become the climate. Submarines are regarded by Ouyang Yun as their trump card, and they are definitely not allowed to be used until the last moment. Then, dispatch high-speed torpedo boats.
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 torpedo boats were preparing to surprise them.
After several years of construction, the Xuebing Army's coastal defense radar force has become mature. Isoroku Yamamoto thought that with radar warning, he could avoid the risk of being "sinked" again, but he did not know that it was different from the Xuebing Army's radar technology.
In comparison, they were actually just toddlers - Arima Masaru's landing fleet had just left the combined fleet, and Chen Yuanyang received a report from the coastal defense radar unit. He didn't care about the size of the Japanese landing fleet, he did not hesitate to
He released more than fifty high-speed torpedo boats under his command. The commander of the torpedo boat force was Qi Minghao, deputy commander of the Dongshan Fleet and captain of the torpedo boat fleet. Before departure, 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 shouted an order: "Blow the whistle! Set sail!"
"Woo--" the whistle sounded, and more than fifty torpedo boats left the military port one by one, and then headed east through the waves along the long-explored coastal route.
