Chapter 972 Lightly dancing and flying

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There has been no progress in the Korean and Chinese battlefields, and the pressure on the Japanese military is increasing.  In order to divert their attention, they focused on the nondescript foreign holiday-Christmas.  The government also echoed the sentiment, intending to use a peaceful atmosphere to dilute the front line where there has been no good news for a long time.  Since there is no good news, we create good news.

    The evening of November 24th is a lively Christmas Eve in the West, while it is cold in the East. It is also one of the coldest periods of the year.

    "While China's coastal areas and the Korean battlefield were in a stalemate, Japan was enjoying peace and harmony.  Although the course of the war was not satisfactory, at least the situation in North Korea was stabilized, and there was good news along the coast of China - if mobilizing carrier-based aircraft deep into the interior to bomb trains can be considered a result of the war.

    In order to boost the remaining morale and reassure the citizens, the Japanese government began planning to hold a grand rally on this day early.  It was originally a festival for foreigners, but because it "left Asia and entered Europe", their citizens are more involved in foreigners' festivals than their own traditional festivals, as if otherwise they would not be able to integrate with foreigners.

    Of course, since the Japanese military has already learned about the Chinese Air Force's intentions, it has already transferred 6 new anti-aircraft destroyers from China to join the suppression fleet. All other warships focus on air strikes and will not attack the Chinese Air Force, which has only two wings.  Said that the dense air defense firepower network of the combined fleet will be their graveyard.

    Several major airports in North Korea are closely watched by spies, and the dispatch of a large number of military aircraft cannot be hidden from their eyes.

    In the afternoon of that day, news first came from Sinuiju that two bomber squadrons of unknown models began to take off and headed south along the coastline; then news came from Chongjin, and a large number of military aircraft were dispatched.

    ¡°Followed by Pyongyang, Wonsan, Pyeongsan, and Sepo, planes from all over the country took off one after another, advancing from the east and west of North Korea.  On the west side, because everything they passed was the People's Army's own territory, these planes followed a straight line and did not need to avoid people; on the east side, because they had to face the Japanese army's broad defense line, these planes invariably chose to stay low on the sea and along the coast.  Flying along the coastline of East Korea.

    This is about to make a surprise attack in a large circle. The Japanese air defense troops along the way are closely watching this group of aircraft.  Since they had obtained the target plan of the Chinese bomber group, the Japanese air defense troops calmly watched them fly south.  Even if they bypass the Tsushima Strait and join the fleet taking off from West Korea, they are just targets for the waiting combined fleet.

    "Izumo" can exchange one for the opponent's entire wing in the event of a raid. Now it seems that the number of aircraft in that army is more than two wings, but so what?  The combined air defense-optimized fleet can definitely make these aircraft come back with no return!

    At this speed, it should fly over the fleet in three hours. Admiral Naozhen Taniguchi and Lieutenant General Nanjiro are waiting patiently in their respective headquarters.

    With this kind of top-secret information, you will definitely have the upper hand by waiting for work.  They even planned that after the Navy has almost exhausted the Chinese Air Force's aircraft fleet, the Army's aircraft will also take off to intercept, striving for a beautiful turnaround on the Korean Peninsula and defeating the main force of the Chinese Air Force.

    Night has fallen.

    Planes taking off from Sinuiju and other places suddenly stopped after arriving at Ganghwa Bay and turned to fly to Incheon.  It's nothing. If it's a long-distance attack, it probably needs refueling or something. China's H-1 has a notoriously short range - the combat radius is only 450 kilometers.

    However, according to news from Incheon, this group of planes had no intention of taking off again after landing at the Incheon Military Airport.  After waiting for an hour, Lieutenant General Nanjiro first felt that something was wrong.

    Since the flight range of planes coming from west Korea is so short, there is no reason why planes taking a detour from east Korea do not need to refuel.  But the reality is that the Japanese army's camp is all the way, and there is no way for Chinese aircraft to refuel.  It is unreasonable to seek the far away instead of the near!  Moreover, according to reports from the peninsula¡¯s air defense forces, the Chinese aircraft fleet did not fly through the Tsushima Strait.

    The Chinese bomber group has disappeared!

    If China¡¯s plan is feasible, then the combat radius of the Chinese bomber must be much larger than the distance from Busan to west Korea, even if it lands in west Korea after performing a combat mission.  According to this inference, its combat radius is at least one thousand kilometers.

    But now, this fleet has not appeared, which is quite interesting.

    Nanjiro looked at the map nervously. He seemed to have thought of a question, but he couldn't believe it.  Because in his writing, the area that Chinese aircraft can pass through has been drawn by him as a large arc, and this arc already includes the Japanese mainland from Nagasaki on Kyushu Island to Daigo and Kyoto on Honshu Island.

    In other words, this missing fleet of aircraft poses a direct threat to Japan¡¯s national securityWhat a possibility!  And it is very possible!

    The power of the empire has been placed on the Korean Army and Combined Fleet. Now, the defense of the mainland is useless, and for many years, the Japanese mainland has never been harmed!

    Branch | Does that person dare to take the world to attack the empire?  God knows what a terrible thing this is!  After angering the people, do they still want to stop easily?  ?

    But Nanjiro is too self-righteous.  The Korean War has been going on so far, the two sides have fought until the bayonets are red, and China's territory has been completely devastated. He thought that China would not dare to divert trouble to the east!  Is it true that only Japanese citizens are human beings, while the Chinese people are nothing?  I only allow you to set fire, but don't follow my example?

    Absolutely not!

    While Nanjiro was still speculating, planes from two wings of the Chinese Air Force, led by Air Force Commander Feng Wuyue, were crossing the Korean Strait and Tsushima Strait, gradually approaching a coastline at the end of the East China Sea.  Although it was approaching dusk, the noisy lights still attracted the fleet to head inland.

    According to the established plan, the fleet will choose this as the first stop to enter Japan, followed by Hiroshima, Fukuyama, Okayama, Kobe, Osaka and Kyoto.  If it weren't for the lack of voyage, Feng Wuyue would have wanted to visit Tokyo.

    Going straight to Huanglong Mansion is worth a thousand words.

    The name of this stop is Xiaguan.

    It is of great historical significance to make this place the first target of Chinese bombers: after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, it was here that the most vicious treaty imposed on China by the aggressors since the Treaty of Beijing was signed.  The unequal treaty "Treaty of Shimonoseki" ceded Taiwan, the Penghu Islands, and Dalian, and compensated 200 million taels of silver, which brought huge benefits to Japan.

    The rise of Japan began from this moment.

    Regardless of the above historical entanglements, its geographical location is also the first choice for China's bombing target - it is at the westernmost tip of Japan's Honshu Island. It is not only close to other Asian countries, but also located on Honshu Island and Kyushu.  The connecting point of the island has been the window for its domestic and international economy and trade since ancient times.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
