Without hindrance, five henkel ii fighter planes easily dropped five small incendiary bombs near the wharf where many cargo ships were parked in Miyazaki Port, and then paid attention to the wharf. The crowd then turned around and flew eastward.
By the time the Miyazaki Port sounded the anti-alarm, the remaining German fighters were about to disappear into the small black dot at the end of the sea.
About a quarter of an hour later, Youge put away five fighter planes harassing Miyazaki Port on the East German escort carrier "Andehar" on Kyushu Island, and then turned to the northeast. Along with them, battle cruiser’s "Fort Wiesenthal", light cruiser "Reiser" and "Mel" formed a cruiser formation submarine u6o3, u691, u27, u33, u35, u71, u9 and u99 formed a submarine formation.
The news that Miyazaki was attacked by a fighter plane soon reached the Japanese naval headquarters in Yokosuga, and then it was temporarily moved to Puhe and Hirohito for fear that Tokyo would be attacked by German poison gas. Although the emperor was not proficient in naval military affairs, he learned from royal advisers that the German navy had an aircraft carrier to carry non-water aircraft. At the thought of the terrible German aircraft carrier appearing in the eastern waters of Kyushu, Showa hurriedly summoned six naval ministers to instruct them to stop the German navy from continuing to harass the Japanese coast and prevent the national panic.
Destroy the day Chapter 13 Fool’s humble opinion
No one objected to the emperor’s order from all the ministers, but when Chuan Koshiro, the minister of naval operations, was about to reach this order, he once served as the minister of naval operations (equivalent to the chief of staff of the navy) in Taisho era, and the navy general Osami Nagano suddenly spoke.
"Minister, you must not be too hasty in this matter!"
I was very excited just now. Hirohito stared at him, but I still gave him a chance to speak.
"Do you have an opinion?"
With the emperor’s sharp eyes, Osami Nagano leaned over and said unhurriedly
"After nearly 10 months of German-German war in China, the first fleet of the Imperial Navy was stationed in sasebo and the second fleet of the German Pacific was safely stationed in Qingdao. There were few exchanges between the two fleets across the sea. The strength advantage of my first fleet was that German submarines were all over the waters around China, destroying our ships, breaking our routes, spying on our military situation and subduing our warships. On the other hand, the German capital ship stationed in Qingdao never entered the eastern waters of Kyushu to harass us!"
"You said that we all know that the German ship did enter the East China Sea of Kyushu today. If it sails northeast again, it is very likely to threaten me from the sea in Tokyo Bay!" The Minister of the Navy, Kaisuke Okada, interjected, "If you don’t wipe it out as soon as possible, will there be peace in the four countries?"
Hirohito nodded in agreement.
"How many German submarines are lurking in the South China Sea of Kyushu East and Shikoku?" Nagano asked
"Er … at least there are fifty people!" Although reluctant, Okada Keisuke has to admit that Germany’s strong water power is owned by the Japanese navy. Although the East China Sea belongs to Japan, it is a German submarine sky.
"Can the Secretary of the Navy remember that Lieutenant General Rino’s Third Fleet was defeated in the past?" Nagano’s light words made everyone present, including Hirohito, deep in thought.
A few beads of sweat beaded from Okada Keisuke’s forehead.
The first person to come was Emperor Hirohito.
"Your words are right! The Germans have a plan for this! " Hirohito immediately expressed his support for the latest and most correct opinions.
"Yingying!" The ass will arrive at once
Nagano face with a disdain color continued
"At present, it is not suitable for me to mobilize General Yamanaka’s 1st Fleet, but to continue to monitor the German Pacific 2nd Fleet, which is active in the Yellow Sea, to cut off its attempt to reinforce Kuye Island in the north!"
"Well, what you said is very natural, like dealing with a German ship moving in the east of Kyushu?" Hirohito, who is usually independent, seems to have little choice at this time. After all, he studied under Marshal Nogi Maresuke of the Sixth Army in his early years and then served in the Sixth Army in Japan.
Osami Nagano looked at Okada Qijie, who is, after all, his own company. It is not a good thing that Okada is too conspicuous in front of him. Although he looks unhappy, he is a veteran of the military and political circles for many years. After receiving Nagano’s eyes, he said generously
"Nagano Jun must have some countermeasures. Let’s talk about it and listen to it. If you can repel Yan Dekou Nagano Jun, you should record your merits!"
"Yes!" Nagano thought and preached, "The German plane attacked our port and its mother ship was not far away from the coast! Therefore, our army can do its best to send coastal ships, airships and aircraft units to search for a large number of torpedo boats in the enemy’s tracks for a strong raid! "
Hirohito thought for a moment and nodded, while the sycophants were preparing to act when they heard Okada Kaijie’s lukewarm voice.
"Nagano Jun, the scale of this Dekou fleet is unknown. One thousand is the main force of the German Pacific inkstone team and is ready to go north …"
"Marine pavilion don’t forget two days ago, our army in the south sea of Dalian now German fleet? Even if it is really the main force of the German Pacific inkstone team, our army can immediately attack JIAOZHOU Bay! "
Nagano shocked four buildings with a word.
The war in JIAOZHOU Bay, Vladivostok and Kuye Island were three thorns stuck in the throat of the emperor. The Japanese generals didn’t want to get rid of it and then quickly captured Vladivostok. The war went well, but Kuye Island in the eye area has been fighting for more than three months from the expected month. Although the South East Army even broke the Great Wall defense line and Peiping and Tianjin, it was stubbornly resisted by the China army in Shijiazhuang to Jinan.
"Even if the navy sent the first fleet to attack Jiaozhou Bay, the vanguard of the East Army has been stuck in the sea since it captured Tianjin two months ago?" Okada Keisuke gave me a contemptuous sneer at the corner of her mouth. At the same time, among all the people present, the face of six generals became extremely ugly.
由于这是一次讨论海军事会议所出席会议地6军将官并不多但偏偏其中一个就是性格暴烈著称田英太郎尽管对方是海军大臣这位日6军中将还是非常不善说道
“海军支那舰队军覆灭相比东军可是替帝国挽回了不少颜面!”
“你……放肆!”冈田启介来心情就不太好听到对方不善言语更是直接从自己位置蹦了起来而田英太郎也毫不示弱眼看一场激烈海6对抗就要爆在场阁大臣们纷纷起来劝诫对于这种情形裕仁既习常又不好偏袒其中一方干脆假装没有看见
不一会儿怒目相视两人重新坐回位置
“东军可有把握在短时突进到青岛外围?”裕仁适时岔了话题由于进入地时还不长此时进入6军部队还都隶属于东军
出来回答问题是6军大臣白川义则对于海军部讥讽他也是十分不悦是在天皇面前他也不好隐瞒实情得一五一十报告道
“回陛!据可靠情报驻守石家庄一济南一线支那军队共编有四个团军43个步兵师兵力过3o万其中德械装备主力师有56个还有1个是轻装甲师此外许多部队都得到了德国人重炮和枪械并且得到驻守青岛地德国航部队支援而目前我东军在天津一带结了7个师团又1个坦克旅团近2o万人航部队大都调往北海道参加库叶岛战役所我军想要在短期突破支那军队防线并非易事!”
“如在短期大量增兵并且得到海军支援如?”在6军事裕仁所懂东西显更多
“希望大增!”百川义则不失时机回答到
在细细思索后裕仁了起来“今天是西历1929年7月24日三日6军当攻取科尔萨科夫要塞;七天东军再从外和朝鲜抽调4个师团驰援前线并对当面支那军队进行严密侦察和渗透;从即日起飞艇军团、各海防舰队大范围搜索九州东、州南海域必找出德寇舰船踪迹并查清对方规模
将鱼雷艇中于九州、四国、州各主要港口待命!”
众人齐齐了起来“嗨!”
就在裕仁天皇做出决定后三个小时位于四国高知港突然遭到一队德国飞机袭击尽管损失不大但德军地这次袭击还是在当地居民中引起了不小恐慌
驻守在四国日6军航部队随后派出了一批战斗机前去追击但是由于性能较好战斗机都被调往北海道这些旧式战斗机都功而返
截当天傍晚遭到小规模袭击地点又增加了两个位于四国东南部牟边和位于州纪伊半岛串由于德国战机行动迅、来去如风加所攻击都是一些防薄弱地非军事目标日军地面防部队和数不多航部队毫
From the afternoon of that day, the navy sent a large number of ships into the area designated by the Emperor to search. However, not only did there be no trace of the opposing fleet, but a coastal defense ship modified from an old cruiser, a new destroyer and several medium-sized patrol ships were lost due to the attack by German submarines. Of course, this also aggravated the Japanese suspicion about the motives of this German fleet. The capital ships stationed in sasebo and Yokosuga were not dispatched in the next few days.
Two days later, the German fleet appeared near Tokyo’s South Izu Islands and gathered outside Tokyo Bay. A large number of Japanese torpedo boats rushed to the target like piranhas smelling blood. However, after arriving at the designated area, they found nothing but some German mines, but they were scared to flee from time to time by torpedoes.
On July 27th, the last day of the Emperor’s regulations, the Japanese army finally captured the fortress of korsakov at the cost of 170,000 dead and 220,000 injured. What surprised them was that the remnants of the German Pacific First Fleet were not blown up by the Germans themselves as expected, but ran aground in the harbor, such as the battleships Caesar Barbarossa, the battle cruiser Salonika, the heavy aircraft carrier Georg and the heavy cruiser scharnhorst.
The Japanese army won the "Great Victory in korsakov" and immediately took advantage of the victory to advance to the central part of Kuye Island. They didn’t want to hit the new German defense line when they arrived in the narrow strip near Atmos-a "hedgehog defense line" built in the hilly area and at the core of the commanding heights. The Germans not only dug a lot of trenches and trench mushroom-like reinforced concrete bunkers here, but also an amazing number of Japanese commanders finally realized that the Germans had already prepared to give up korsakov. The only hope for the Japanese army to pass through this narrow strip of Kuye Island is that it will not be easier to fight in the German army than to capture the korsakov fortress.
The "Intelligence Report" was quickly sent by the Japanese frontline command to the 6th Army Camp, and a few hours later it was placed in front of Emperor Hirohito and his spin doctor.
"The eastern part of Kuye Island is most suitable for boarding 6, but we must first defeat the German fleet stationed in the northern part of the Kuril Islands! So far, we don’t know exactly about that fleet, and we don’t know exactly how many warships there are! Moreover, there are still a large number of mines and submarines in the Holtzker Sea, and the previous’ poison dart’ operation took great risks. Now the Germans are bound to strengthen their vigilance on this side! "
Old Maimatsuoka Hideyoshi is a vice admiral who has reached retirement age, but his strong sense of responsibility made him determined to continue his national service before the end of the-Germany War. After studying the situation around Kuye Island in detail, he made a careful analysis.
"There are many beaches on the west coast of Kuye Island, and hundreds of meters away from the coastline are rolling mountains. Even if our army successfully boarded the 6 th exhibition and marched to the target location, it will be very difficult. The German advantage will consume a lot of our troops on the way!"
Another veteran, Saito Satoshi, who has reached the retirement age, also analyzed whether this Japanese vice admiral is a descendant of the fencing master Saito Mikuro. We know from this that the old man is pessimistic about the future of the Japanese army in the face of the dazzling tactical arrangement of the German army.
Hirohito looked down at the large battlefield sand table simulating the topography of Kuye Island and frowned. What he needed at the moment was obviously not this or that. If he was frustrated, he needed a suggestion to change the current unfavorable occupation and drive the Germans out of Kuye Island completely.
"Paratroopers cooperate with the 6 th team. This is a German tactic!"
The speaker’s voice was low, but it attracted the attention of almost the whole war room. When people found out that this guy was an officer with the rank of colonel, his eyes became strange again.
Hirohito looked up and saw a dark, rough and full of life.
"unbridled!" The security minister reprimanded me, but he didn’t go on because he saw Hirohito’s gesture to tell him to shut up
"This is the little Tuan British good colonel! I know you. You just took the post of Chief of Staff of the 1st Flying Division of the Imperial Army! "
The people’s eyes are not only full of surprise and flattery, but also can be remembered by the emperor. It is a great honor and it is just around the corner to rise to the top.
"We failed in the last landing operation and were defeated by the Germans one by one because of the scattered forces. Now the Germans are on the Atmouth defense line. Our army can choose to board the 6 th on the west coast of the island and at the same time, we can drop a large group of troops to the east far away from the 6 th island, so that the Germans can’t take care of each other!"
Judging from Hideyoshi’s smooth words, this is a strategy that he has long thought of, and this strategy with the same huge risk and return was immediately endorsed by Hirohito.
Recommend interested friends to see the topography of Kuye Island or other places. This is much better than maps, but most place names and notes are in English.
Destroy the sun Chapter 14 Gray forest
The sea in front of Lebanon was silent and cool, and the sea breeze gently brushed the flag at the top of the warship mast. Several signal lights exchanged signals, and soldiers with guns walked back and forth silently on the deck. Everything was so quiet and harmonious.
At this time, it was another lively scene in the boiler room and engine room on the deck of the flagship "Wiesenburg". After a night, the firemen were all exhausted. Although the number of firemen needed to equip a ship with heavy oil boilers in these German warships was far less than that when coal-fired boilers were used in the past, it did not mean that the firemen were much easier than before. Sixteen oil-fired boilers and four steam turbines needed to be constantly checked to ensure that the oil pumps passed oil and pumped water. Boiler pressure, etc. Everything is normal. At the same time, rotate, slide and add lubricating oil to the cam. Once a boiler or turbine fails, the firemen must brave the high temperature to repair it as soon as possible. Once they work too long at high temperature, people are prone to dehydration, fainting and sudden death. The fireman is not an easy job.
