September 13, 1938
Nanjing, Eighty-Eighth Group Army Headquarters
"Air Force Director Liu Suigang sent news that the Japanese naval fleet will arrive in Shanghai tonight! Now they are waiting eighty nautical miles away from Shanghai! Shall we attack?"
Yang Jie looked up at the telegram handed over by a staff officer and asked Zhou Weiguo.
Two days ago, Zhou Weiguo did not know where he got 300 torpedo planes and 600 Stuka dive bombers.
Eight Stuka dive bomber groups were formed again. He didn't even know where Zhou Weiguo got these things from.
But he won¡¯t ask these questions. He knows very well that every person in power has some secrets, and these secrets cannot be known to the people below.
Isn¡¯t there a good saying?
"You know too much, so you're going to die!"
"Attack? Eighty nautical miles? That is, one hundred and fifty-four kilometers? How much time is it now?"
Zhou Weiguo raised his eyebrows.
¡°It¡¯s half past two in the afternoon!¡±
After hearing this, Zhou Weiguo began to calculate that for a flight of more than 150 kilometers, the time required for the aircraft to load ammunition, fuel, take off, and then fly, the round trip time would be about an hour and a half.
It¡¯s half past two, one and a half hours¡¯ time, which is four o¡¯clock.
It¡¯s just after summer, the weather is still very hot, and it gets dark around seven o¡¯clock in the evening.
In other words, there are still more than three hours to fight.
"Attack! Order all 300 torpedo planes to attack! In addition, dispatch 975 Stuka dive bombers and 600 Zero fighters to attack!"
Zhou Weiguo squinted his eyes and said softly.
Now that the Little Devil's aircraft in Shanghai have been lost during this period of time, the Little Devil will definitely send an aircraft carrier when dispatching the fleet this time.
But there are only so many aircraft carriers for the Japs. The losses of the Akagi and Kaga have already caused heavy losses for the Japs¡¯ aircraft carriers.
The remaining two aircraft carriers, the Soryu and the Hiryu, are better, and the carrier-based aircraft taking off are in the acceptable category.
¡°Other aircraft carriers such as the Ryujo, Zuihe, and Shokaku can only be regarded as escort aircraft carriers.
They don¡¯t have many carrier-based aircraft that can take off. If they dispatch 600 Zero fighters, they can completely crush them.
Because the little devil¡¯s wrong command last time resulted in the loss of two aircraft carriers, the fleet commander sent by the little devil this time is no longer a battleship captain, nor a colonel.
This time, the Little Japanese Navy sent a major general, Ozawa Tomominami.
This person may not be well-known in history, but he has a deep relationship with another person.
That person is Yamamoto Wu Shiroku. Maybe some people say that Yamamoto Wu Shiroku is now a naval admiral, and Ozawa Tomominami is just a major general. How can he have anything to do with him?
In fact, we all know that Yamamoto Wu Shilu is a staunch supporter of the Japanese aircraft carrier faction, but in fact he is not the first person in the Japanese aircraft carrier. The real first person in the Japanese aircraft carrier is Ozawa Tomominami.
In the past, Yamamoto Wu Shiroku was deeply influenced by Ozawa Tomorrow and became a staunch aircraft carrier faction.
?????????????? Ozawa Tomozo, although his military rank is low, he is only a major general.
But he is recognized by the top brass as an expert in aviation warfare and is known for his calmness.
He is also the last joint fleet commander of the Little Devils in history.
It is precisely because of this that the top brass of the Little Devils sent him, an aviation warfare expert, and four aircraft carriers: Soryu, Hiryu, Shokaku, and Zuikaku, in addition to Nagato, Haruna, and The three battleships Fuso, the two heavy cruisers Aoba and Furutaka, and other destroyers, light cruisers, frigates and other fleets were under his command.
It can be seen from here that the top brass of the Little Devil Navy have full trust in Ozawa Tomominami's abilities.
Now that Rear Admiral Ozawa Tomominami is commanding so many ships, it can be said to have set a precedent for the Japanese navy, but he is indeed capable, there is no doubt about it.
"Ozawa-kun, what do you think of this battle?"
Ozawa Tomominami stood outside the door of the bridge commander's tower of the Soryu, looking at the rough sea, with a flash of worry in his eyes.
His chief of staff, Caolu Renyi, walked up from behind and said softly.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ???Ò» and Ozawa Tomozo are classmates and roommates at the same time.
When they first joined the army, Soga Renichi was the boss of Ozawa Tomominami. Later, with the continuous promotion and Ozawa Tomominami emerging in the navy, he gradually became the boss of Soga Renichi.
However, the relationship between the two is still good and they are close friends!
And Kusaka Renyi is also a staunch carrier fan like Ozawa Tomominami, but his ability cannot keep up with Ozawa Tomominami. This is one of the reasons why his promotion is not as fast as Ozawa Tomominami, and this time Xiao The Japanese Navy also sent him to Ozawa Tomominami as chief of staff.
But this Caolu Renyi is also a weirdo. He is a staunch aircraft carrier fan, but he is also the current captain of the battleship Fusang. He can be regarded as a talent who can command both aircraft carriers and battleships.
"Our battle is very dangerous! It is said that the Eighty-Eighth Group Army has more than 2,000 aircraft of various types. This is only the previous data.
Recently, news came back from the Special High School, it seems that the air force strength of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army has increased again. They didn't know exactly how many planes there were.
¡°This time we fight, we can only contain them, we must not face them head-on with the Eighty-eighth Group Army. Kurita-kun¡¯s incident is a lesson! "
Thinking of Takeo Kurita who was removed from the post of captain of the Kongo and transferred to the reserve after returning to China, Ozawa Tomominami had a trace of worry in his eyes.
This naval battle is not to fight the Chinese Navy at sea. If it is to fight the Chinese Navy, Ozawa Tomominami believes that they can easily defeat them.
But if you want to fight the air force of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army, then this problem arises.
"Well! Akagi and Kaga, the two aircraft carriers and more than a hundred carrier-based aircraft are no match for them. It seems that their strength is not weak!"
Kusaka Renyi also understands the danger of this battle and agrees with Ozawa Tomominami's words.
"Forget it! Don't think about this anymore! After dark, we will continue sailing and sail into the port. In one night, we can withdraw as much as we can! Leave the port immediately after withdrawing!"
Ozawa Tomominami knew that he must not enter the port during the day, as he would be discovered by the reconnaissance aircraft of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army, allowing the dive bombers of the Eighty-eighth Group Army to attack.
He doesn¡¯t want his aircraft carrier to suffer losses.
¡°Woo~wu~wu~wu~¡±
¡°Woo~wu~wu~wu~¡±
Suddenly, the air defense siren sounded in the fleet.
The sky-shaking air defense sirens kept blaring in the fleet.
"No! An air attack has occurred! Immediately order carrier-based aircraft to take off to meet the enemy! All fleets deploy air defense formations, with full air defense firepower!"
As soon as he heard this sound, Ozawa Tomominami knew that there must be an enemy plane attacking, and he was certain that except for the aircraft of the 88th Group Army, there were no other enemy planes around!
