Tsukahara still showed high morale, but Yamamoto was a little worried. He said to Inoue Narumi: "Could it be that the Chinese have insight into our combat plan and are determined not to let our reconnaissance planes approach? We are now even connected to their aviation forces. I don’t even know the scale of it, so I’m afraid this battle won’t be easy to fight!”
Inoue Narumi thought for a while and said: "As Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, you can win a hundred battles only if you know yourself and the enemy. If aerial reconnaissance is not possible, then use water ghost troops to infiltrate and conduct ground reconnaissance. Select one or two commandos and let them bring the radio ashore. Find the Xuebing Army's air defense position, and then guide the naval guns to bombard it. This should ensure the effect." After a pause, he added: "Our total number of carrier-based aircraft is close to 700, and we have air defense radars to provide early warning. China There is no chance for a sneak attack. How about driving to the offshore area? This way we can not only maintain psychological deterrence, but also immediately respond to the commando team for artillery support. What do you think?"
Yamamoto thought about it and thought it was a good idea, so he asked Tsukahara to calm down and ordered the fleet to advance. He also asked Inoue to be responsible for selecting the commando members, and decided to use a submarine to send them near the coast to help them infiltrate.
When the Rijian Group was still 150 kilometers away from Zhoushan, it entered the screen of the coastal defense radar of the radar station. Song Qiaoan and others looked at the dense spots of light displayed on the screen, and they couldn't help but have dry mouths and vomit: "Hey, how many boats are there for this?!"
"Brothers, tell me, will Commander Wang and the others give the little devil another 'sink'?"
Song Qiaoan knew more things. He said: "Stop talking nonsense, there are so many warships, let alone sinking its aircraft carrier. Even if you want to blow up a destroyer, you will definitely have to pay a huge sacrifice. We have a total of only How many fighters can you afford to pay?"
Everyone thought about it, and then someone asked nervously: "Will the Japs attack Zhoushan first? With so many warships, they should launch a landing battle, right?"
"Don't worry about this kind of thing. If such a thing happens, we will ensure your safety." Someone suddenly answered the question at the door. Song Qiaoan looked back and said with a smile on his eyebrows: "Honor, why are you here? ?”
Standing at the door was a sturdy man about thirty years old. His name was Cheng Ao'an. He was the commander-in-chief of the Zhoushan garrison and held the title of major general. He took out a piece of letter paper and handed it to Song Qiao'an and said: "Zhuang The vice president asked me to come, so please contact this number more often and try your best to satisfy the other party’s requirements!”
"Isn't it enough to just make a phone call? Why not come in person -"
"Brother, come here," Cheng Ao'an put his arm around Song Qiao'an's shoulders, pulled him aside, and Fu'er said to him: "Vice President Zhuang and the others are not yet sure of the Japanese army's motives, so we cannot rule out that they will attack Zhoushan first. Once If we start fighting, we may not be able to take care of you at the same time. Except for leaving one squad of personnel on duty, the others will evacuate immediately. If, I say, if the little devils find this place, remember to blow up the radar."
"I will resolutely carry out the order! By the way, this number belongs to the Navy, right?"
"From the submarine force, this matter is kept secret!"
"knew!"
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the combined fleet stopped fifty kilometers away from the Zhoushan Islands. Then, the Japanese and Japanese fighter planes began to fight each other, and began frequent confrontations around the Zhoushan airspace. Often, as soon as the Japanese army takes off a few or even one fighter plane, the Xuebing Army's side is immediately greeted by fighter jets waiting aside. Then the Japanese planes retreat, and the Xuebing Army's side takes advantage of the situation to pursue them, and then , when the Xuebingjun fighter planes began to return, the Japanese planes caught up with them again. They had only chased for less than twenty or thirty kilometers when a large group of fighters flew from the southwest. The Japanese planes quickly turned around, and at the same time, there began to be aircraft on each aircraft carrier. A large group of fighter planes took off...
Southeast Zhejiang is too close to the Japanese mainland. Ye Zhao had a premonition that it would become the place with the most frequent wars for a period of time, so he expanded Ningbo Airport again and again to ensure that other aviation regiments could respond to the situation during the tense war.
The Zhejiang Southern Aviation Corps provides support. The current Ningbo Airport is more than three times larger than before, with a total of 13 hangars, five aprons, and six runways. It can park more than 300 fighter planes, and six more can be guaranteed.
Fighter planes take off and land at the same time.
Out of sight of the Japanese, various types of white-tip dolphins were taking off and landing on the six runways at Ningbo Airport, two of which were used for release and four for landing.
Xue Changkong's Taiwan Strait Aviation Corps was the first to arrive. He piloted the latest model of Baiji Dolphin III and was the first to land on the runway. After driving the plane to the designated apron, he stood up from the cabin and headed towards
Wang Hai, who was waiting aside, waved: "Xiao Hai, are you in a hurry?!"
Wang Hai and Miao Taishan immediately came forward with a group of school-level officers. The former said loudly: "Boss Xue, thank you for your kindness. I am very grateful!"
Xue Changkong chuckled: "This is a public statement. Who among us brothers is following whom? What? Are Xiao Liu and the others starting a conspiracy?"
"The little devils probably want to figure out the situation first, but if they want to achieve this goal, they can't do it without paying a hundred thousand sacrifices!"
"Oh, you are so confident? You have done a good job in counter-intelligence work?!"
"Boss Zhuang is in charge, and it seems to be quite successful so far!"
"Where is Mr. Zhuang?"
"Outside, he has many troops and a lot of corresponding matters, so let me say hello to you on his behalf."
"It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist," Xue Changkong said as he walked down the gangway. Wang Hai and others hurried up to meet him. The two stood face to face, saluted and hugged. Wang Hai asked in his ear: "Has Mr. Tie set any targets?
Like sinking one or two aircraft carriers or something?"
Xue Changkong straightened his face and said in a deep voice: "Brother, you really dare to think about it. Don't count on it. Yamamoto will personally lead the team, seven aircraft carriers, three battleships, hey, as long as we can get through it safely. But one thing is very important
What’s strange is that the Japanese army didn’t land troops, which is puzzling!”
"We shouldn't be able to fight today. Boss Zhuang is taking care of things outside. Let's go and sit in my office first!"
Miao Taishan and others were busy arranging for the rest of the Taiwan Strait Aviation Corps' reinforcement students. Wang Hai took Xue Changkong to his office. He first arranged for Xue Changkong to sit down, then made him a cup of tea and handed it to him.
Said: "How is that golden eagle? Is there any chance?"
The Golden Eagle is the "XP-1941" jet fighter. This type of fighter completed its test flight in October last year and has now begun production.
After the technical parameters of this type of fighter were spread among the top brass of the Xuebing Army Air Force, it immediately aroused the covetousness of Wang Hai and other big bosses. Everyone wanted their troops to be the first to be equipped with them, so regardless of their usual friendship, in this matter
On the other hand, everyone is showing off their magical powers and refusing to give in. As the chief of staff of the Seventh Expeditionary Corps, Wang Hai will be transferred to Karachi sooner or later, so he behaves so aloof. Not only does he not argue, but he also has the leisure to care about his big brother.
.
It was a good thing that he didn't mention this matter. When he mentioned it, Xue Changkong was not in the mood to drink tea. Putting down the tea cup to his mouth, he said angrily: "Don't mention it, I will get angry when you mention it. You can judge me, don't care.
Whether it's due to war needs or in terms of qualifications, how can Zuo Anzhao and his expeditionary aviation regiment be compared with me?* I don't know what Boss Tie and the others thought, but they actually equipped them first! I'm so angry!"?
