Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

Chapter 790 Canglong Aircraft Carrier

790 Soryu aircraft carrier

This time, the flagship of the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet is the Japanese aircraft carrier Soryu.

This aircraft carrier, which was completed at the end of 37, is currently one of the main aircraft carriers of the Japanese naval fleet.

This time, he was urgently transferred back from the Western Pacific by the top brass of the Japanese domestic headquarters.

Let them go to Taiwan and lead the Japanese 107th Division south to support the Japanese 23rd Army trapped in Guangdong Province.

However, the Japanese naval officers on the Soryu aircraft carrier were very dissatisfied with this decision made by the top brass of their domestic headquarters.

At this time, in the command center on the island of the Soryu aircraft carrier, the Japanese second mate Kaga Tengchuan was still complaining to the Japanese captain Colonel Uesaka Kanae.

"Captain, why did you have to call us back this time to escort these idiots in the army?

Being a nanny for the army idiots again.

I've had enough.

These idiots in the army have fought several battles against Ye Qingshan in the past two years.

It seems like I have never won.

It's really embarrassing that our Navy Department has to clean up their mess every day."

The Japanese second mate Kaga Tengchuan kept complaining about those army idiots. He really looked down on them.

The Japanese captain Kanae Uesaka was also helpless and said: "Kaga-kun, do you think I want to come back?

Commander Yamamoto is leading our naval fleet to the Western Pacific and has already met the Americans' new Pacific Fleet.

The confrontation lasted for two or three months.

The decisive battle between us and the Americans at sea may break out at any time.

Originally, I also thought that the domestic base would definitely not transfer us at this time.

Unexpectedly, Commander Yamamoto still could not withstand the pressure from the domestic headquarters and His Majesty the Emperor.

Or we should withdraw our fleet.

Support the Army's jackals in this landing operation.

In fact, this battle is also very important for the army idiots.

It is even no less than the decisive battle between us and the Americans in the Western Pacific.

This Ye Qingshan annihilated our 15th Army in Burma last year. The top brass of the headquarters and His Majesty the Emperor could no longer tolerate it.

He swore to destroy Ye Qingshan.

Unexpectedly, less than a year has passed and we haven’t even had the chance to take action against Ye Qingshan.

He actually took the initiative to fight back.

Not only was Tanaka Hisaichi's 23rd Army trapped in Yangcheng, but now Anami Korechika's th Army was also entangled in northern Guangdong.

I don't know the specific situation of the battle.

Anyway, the situation is not good for the army's idiots, and they can't afford to lose this battle.

If anything happens to the 23rd Army and the th Army again, we will completely switch from the offensive to the defensive within China.

This did not fit in with the base camp’s plans.

Our decisive battle with the Yankees in the Western Pacific can still be delayed.

But on the Chinese side, the battle between them and the Chinese army can no longer be delayed.

This time, the headquarters waited until now and sent troops to land on the southern coast of Guangdong Province in China just to deal a fatal blow to Ye Qingshan.

This landing will be a turning point in this battle.

For the sake of the empire's great cause, our navy will have to make some sacrifices.

Fortunately, the headquarters agreed that as long as we help the army idiots, we can win the battle.

Next year, the Army Department will allocate one-third of its resources to allow us to build more warships, which can be regarded as compensation for us."

"Yoshi.

That's better, we have to let the army idiots cut the meat.

We can’t always help them for nothing.”

The Japanese first mate thought this was reasonable and nodded.

“However, the army’s idiots have been getting worse and worse in the past two years.

It was so difficult to deal with a small Chinese warlord.

The future of the empire cannot rely on those idiots in the army.

We still have to rely on our navy, and it is absolutely correct for the headquarters to tilt resources towards our navy."

The Japanese first mate was still talking smugly.

The struggle between the Japanese Navy Department and the Army Department, especially when it comes to the competition for annual resources, has long been fierce.

For this reason, the high-ranking generals of the Japanese Navy and Army were just about to kill each other.

There is no way. The actual situation of the Japanese country determines that the resources they can plunder from overseas every year are limited.

There simply isn't enough.

If we don't fight, how can the army expand and the navy build warships?

In the early stage, the Japanese army undoubtedly occupied the majority of resource allocation.

But as the war between the Japanese and the Americans broke out and they moved south to attack Southeast Asia, resources began to shift towards the navy.

Just when the captain and first mate of the Japanese aircraft carrier Soryu were complaining about the army's idiots.

To the rear and side of the Japanese aircraft carrier Soryu, there is another giant ship, the Japanese battleship Musashi.

The commander of the Japanese 107th Division, Kaito Fumura, was on this Musashi.

The reason why Fumura Kaito did not stay on the Soryu aircraft carrier was because he did not want to see the faces of the Soryu's captain and first mate.

He knew that the Soryu aircraft carrier and its captain were typical naval backbone generals.

There are huge dissatisfaction with their army.

Under such circumstances, he couldn't bear to let a Japanese lieutenant general and division commander live under someone else's roof and stay on the Soryu aircraft carrier.

If not, the captain of the battleship Musashi, although he was from the Navy, his father-in-law was from the Army.

The captain of the battleship Musashi had a pretty good relationship with their Army Department.

The commander of the 107th Division, Fumura Kaito, may not even come to the battleship Musashi, and may just stay on the troop transport ship behind.

But it would not be appropriate to let a division commander stay on a troop transport ship like those ordinary Japanese soldiers.

Therefore, the captain of the battleship Musashi, Chiyong Tamura, took the initiative to invite the commander of the 107th Division to his battleship.

Seeing this, Wencun Hairen did not refuse. This was the best option.

“Tamura, your navy is in the Western Pacific, fighting the Americans.

How is the situation? "

Fumura Kaito asked.

He had been staying on land and was not very clear about the battle between their naval fleet and the Americans in the Western Pacific.

I asked curiously at this moment.

Wencun Kaito was actually very clear about the decisive battle between their navy and the Americans at sea.

It not only affects their navy, but also has a huge impact on their army.

The Japanese want to maintain the vast occupied areas that their army has conquered with great difficulty in Southeast Asia.

The navy is needed to win at sea.

Otherwise, once the control of the sea is taken back by the Americans.

Their hundreds of thousands of elite troops in Southeast Asia will also be completely cut off from their homeland.

In that case, it would be a disaster for their army forces in Southeast Asia.

"General, under the leadership of Commander Yamamoto, we are still suppressing the Americans at sea."

Of course, Tamura couldn't say that their Navy Department was incompetent.

But then he changed the subject: "However, the Yankees' new Pacific Fleet has reappeared very quickly.

A year ago, the Americans had completely withdrawn from the Western Pacific.

Any American warship will retreat on its own initiative when it sees a warship flying our flag.

However, the situation is different this year.

The number of American warships in the Western Pacific is increasing.

If nothing unexpected happens, the day of another decisive battle between us and the Americans' rebuilt Pacific Fleet is not far away.

So, this time when Commander Yamamoto called our fleet back.

There was a lot of resistance and many people disagreed.

But I am in favor of it.”

"Commander Yamamoto, you are still very powerful.

I believe that your Admiralty will be able to defeat the Yankees again."

Wencun Hairen also has some emotional intelligence and knows that he shouldn't call the navy idiots at this time.

But deep down, Wencun Hairen knew that the situation of their navy was not much better than that of their army.

Also at sea, we encountered great trouble.

This made Wencun Kaito realize that whether it was for the war situation in China or for the domestic situation, he had to put pressure on the Navy Department.

This time, their landing operations in Guangdong Province must be successful.

To this end, before he came, he had already formulated an extremely detailed landing operation plan.

“Ye Qingshan, everyone is afraid of you.

But this time, my 107th Division will deal you a fatal blow."

Wencun Hairen thought to himself.

"How long will it take to reach the landing area?"

"There's still about a day left."

A day passed quickly.

June 10th, around eight in the morning.

Wencun Hairen received a report from his subordinates: "General, we are still three hours away from the designated sea area.

Can we notify our soldiers and ask them to prepare for landing?"

"Well, let's notify them."

Fumura Kaito nodded.

The Japanese's huge aircraft carrier fleet arrived in the southern waters of Guangdong Province.

At this time, in the southwest direction in front of the Japanese's huge aircraft carrier fleet, a ghost submarine was appearing on the sea and sailing.

"Traces of a large fleet have been spotted ahead.

It's the devil's naval fleet."

Someone has been observing the situation on the surrounding sea, so when the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet appeared on the distant sea.

It was immediately discovered by the ghost submarine.

"Quick, send a telegram to the commander and his men.

Dive now."

This ghost submarine also moved quickly and dived quickly before the Japanese discovered them.

Then use the periscope to observe the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet.

"Haha, it really is the devil's aircraft carrier fleet.

Yes, we have finally found them.”

On the ghost submarine numbered U5, the captain saw clearly through the periscope the huge fleet of Japanese invaders approaching from a distance.

Shouted excitedly.

The other submarine soldiers behind were also very excited.

They waited for so long, and it was not in vain, as they finally waited for the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet.

Moreover, judging from its scale, it is definitely a piece of fat meat.

"The commander will be very happy if he finds out.

Our submarine fleet's first battle was against a Japanese aircraft carrier fleet."

"Captain, the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet is getting closer and closer to us."

"Put away the periscope and dive."

The captain of the U5 submarine gave the order.

However, he is very confident about the silent performance of his submarine.

But this battle is too important, and he doesn't want any problems to arise.

Therefore, it is better to choose to be conservative about the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet and let their submarines continue to dive to avoid being discovered by the Japanese sonar.
