.    Chapter 598: Decisive Battle in the Offshore

A clean and neat 8-0 loss ratio was like a fierce slap that hit the Japanese in the face. This was undoubtedly a big slap in front of the American master. The Japanese animal who was trying to perform well in front of the American master and took credit for rewards.

Even the four-four people were unable to beat the opponent, and the opponent beat him to kill him and wiped him out. This really made the Japanese Air Force unable to bear the face.

To this end, the Japanese formations in the joint navy quickly formulated a new combat plan and applied to the American master to use the Japanese fleet as bait. Suddenly, the two sides fought against each other and actually divided the areas of the East China Sea to lure the enemy by default. The American fleet, which originally used Japan as cannon fodder, was naturally happy to agree to this way when they saw Japanese slaves.

In mid-November, Japan formed an advance fleet with Yamato, Musashi battleships, Shino aircraft carrier and three other aircraft carriers, two battleships, several cruisers and several guard ships. It followed the US special fleet seventy nautical miles behind and fiercely rushed to Shanghai, China!

The information received by the Japanese army and the information collected before this, the two US and Japanese fleets, one after another, came out of Japan, belonged to the kind of work that quietly left the village and fired guns.

The two fleets left their posts at night and posed for a stance in the depths of the Pacific during the day. Then it turned dark and the radars of both sides immediately turned around and drove towards Shanghai when they found that there was no abnormality in the sky.

When China discovered that the US-Japanese coalition fleet was not in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, it quickly discovered anomalies, because in the vast ocean, a huge fleet could not have disappeared out of thin air, so it quickly expanded the search range.

However, when the photos sent back by Chinese satellites were decrypted and revealed, everyone discovered that the US-Japan coalition fleet had already broken into the actual control area of ​​both sides at that time.

The situation was quickly reported to the Chinese Ministry of National Defense. Li Zongren, the commander of the Central Plains War Zone, slapped the table and scolded: "Damn! We are still worried that you will be huddled in the Japanese nest and can't find a chance to clean up your turtle coffins, but you have come to your door!!"

However, facing the US-Japan joint navy that was rushing over, the naval commanders of the Central Plains War Zone did not hurry to mobilize troops to intercept them. They even boldly evacuated and reassembled the Chinese naval surface ships in the nearby waters, in order to make the Japanese fleet that is rarely "visited" now closer.

The Japanese Navy Fleet was not polite and vague, and they were going to advance deeper. At this time, the commander of the US Navy Fleet felt something was wrong. In the past, the Chinese fleet had already come up to "welcome" it, but this time it was abnormal and there was no movement.

Not only did the reconnaissance not find the Chinese fleet, but there were not even the airplanes patrolling the Chinese in the air. This was too abnormal. For this reason, the US commander contacted the Japanese fleet to slow down the speed of the Japanese fleet's advancement a little, and it would not be too late to find out the situation and make progress again.

The US military commander was not a good reminder, but was afraid that he would let the Japanese devils who were eager to show their minds and even implicate themselves. However, the Japanese Navy, which had just recovered a little energy, was really too eager to show itself, and it was less than 300 kilometers away from Shanghai now. It was dark now. With the help of the night, if we could advance a little further.

Over the years, since the Battle of Hangzhou in mid-1937, Japan and China have not won much, especially when China Leagues took over the throne of China's highest power, they retreated and even the three eastern provinces were helplessly withdrawing. This always had an indelible psychological shadow on the hearts of the Japanese devil soldiers.

With a strong revenge mentality, the Japanese fleet commander applied to the US military commander to continue to go deeper, but during the application, the Japanese commander did not have a completely lost morality, but knew that the US side would not go deeper too riskyly, so he telegrammed the US military whether the distance between the two fleets could be opened a little further.

At the same time, it is constantly z-shaped in the form of a broken line, which can not only expand the search scope to find the main fleet of the Chinese Navy or ordinary ships to fight, but also gradually deepen in such a disguised slowdown, which is safe and stable.

The Japanese side's suggestion was quickly agreed by the commander of the US fleet. This is indeed a good way to do so. If the Chinese's main fleet cannot be discovered after the left and right is opened, then it will either be a huge trap or the Chinese have indeed experienced fatal loopholes in the defense line.

However, if you want to say it is a trap, and you know the strength of the Expeditionary Fleet in the Chinese Navy, the United States also understands that the combat strength of the Yellow Sea Fleet and the East Sea Fleet are not as perverted as that of the Expeditionary Fleet. It is still unrealistic to just rely on these two fleets to seize the huge US-Japan joint fleet!

The US side’s idea is good, and the combat strength of the Yellow Sea and East China Sea fleet is indeed the case. It’s just that the US side missed a little, that is, the current Chinese Navy and Chinese Navy aviation forces.

These naval aviation forces have added several new weapons and equipment. These new weapons and equipment have greatly made up for the shortcomings of Chinese naval ships and enhanced combat strength.

To maximize the performance of these weapons, we must take the risk of putting the US and Japanese fleets in to reduce the combat radius pressure of shore-based aircraft!

At the same time, the South China War Zone quickly drew a group of fighter jets from Beibu Gulf, Fujian and the Yellow Sea Fleet to quickly switch flights, fighter jets, attack aircraft, bombers and jet aircraft. In a word, it is all used!

Even from the factories that produce new anti-ship missiles, air-to-air missiles, several helicopters and large transport aircraft have been dispatched directly to the factory and the nearby airport to transport the two latest missiles to the battlefield to increase combat power.

However, the sudden change in the Japanese army's approach of changing courses left and right made the Chinese side suddenly unclear where the Japanese army's final destination was.

Shanghai or Lianyungang?

The US fleet has been hanging far away and is reluctant to go deeper, which has made it impossible for China to finally determine where to concentrate its combat power to wait for the enemy to enter the trap.

Faced with the US-Japan joint fleet, China has to expand its preparation scope. Air force airports, air defense combat units, coastal urban security and garrison troops and all units need to enter the first-level combat readiness state.

The plane was parked directly on the runway, and pilots were sitting in the cabin waiting for orders to attack. All air defense combat units were all next to the weapons when eating, drinking, urinating, and sleeping on the same day.

Those coastal cities have made corresponding air defense preparations in advance and notified relevant departments in advance to make temporary evacuation and guidance.

Government officials are not allowed to go home or leak the state of war in advance. All police officers are temporarily ordered to stand by at any time. The local militia armed forces rarely began to gather militias in a unified manner. All civilian ships in the port are not allowed to go to sea. Ships that have already gone to sea will return immediately.

All preparations are to welcome this sea battle!

Someone has done statistics after the war. Because of this naval battle, the number of people who can be registered in these coastal cities, military bases and departments in China has exceeded 800,000, and the number of people who are not registered cannot have more accurate numbers.

However, according to the population size and proportion of each locality and city, this number should exceed 3.5 million to 5 million. Especially after the naval battle began, the temporary recruitment of vehicles alone exceeded 100,000 in just a few days.

As for these temporary materials and equipment that were temporarily collected and requisitioned, the Chinese people also devoted their full support without any complaints.

After the naval battle began, the oil depots of the ammunition depots of several airports closest to the naval battle area were quickly consumed by a large number of fighter jets. Because the originally prepared areas were relatively wide and scattered, some anti-ship missiles, aviation bombs and other materials needed to be temporarily transferred to these airports.

Although the fast loading capacity of airplanes is not enough to consume, it is only true that transportation is replenished from land. In terms of railways, the railway department quickly organized forces to draw out the car's hair and front of the car, and arranged for trains to transport oil, ammunition and medicine along the way to pass through as fast as possible.

Not to mention the road, local people heard that the fleet of Japanese devils needed vehicles to transport ammunition and drug supplies. The people who had just bought a truck to run for transportation spontaneously stopped taking jobs and making money, drove the vehicles to the loading area specially driven by the army, loaded ammunition and drug supplies and drove the supplies quickly to various airports.

At the same time, in terms of traffic conditions, on the newly built main roads at all levels, the people along the way spontaneously cleaned the soil and stones on the cement, asphalt roads, so that the vehicles can drive more smoothly and safely.

On some main roads, civilian vehicles passing by transporting other materials consciously gave up the two lanes in the middle of the road, and used them as a dedicated passage for military materials to pass through these vehicles pulling military combat materials.

Although there was no dedicated person to take care of the cargo along the way, no private vehicle was driving on the fast lane in the middle. Good road conditions and the automatic, spontaneous and conscious behavior of civilians allowed these vehicles transporting military supplies to drive at an astonishing average speed.

In some sections of road conditions, some vehicles can even drive to an amazing speed of 70 on highways.

Moreover, there was no error in the transportation of these materials, and even the bullets used by an aviation machine gun did not have any errors or loss in the transportation.

The self-conscious performance of the people made everyone look and amazed. Some military personnel even spoke out that in another ten years, when the Chinese people on lands like Australia, Lake Berga and Tyumen gain a foothold, it will be the home court of the Chinese!

Anyone who wants to regain these lands and fight against the Chinese army on such a home court can't even concentrate all the white people in the world!

It is precisely because of the Chinese people who support the government that, more than ten years after the war, even the white people who were most determined to regain Australia, Tyumen, Lake Berga and Outer Khingan Mountains had to face a reality.

That is, a large number of Chinese immigrants have taken root in their lives on these lands. To fight against the Chinese army on these lands, it is simply a myth similar to a fairy tale.

Even if you want to manipulate public opinion to conduct a referendum, the Chinese, who have absolutely dominant numbers on these lands, can easily defeat white separatists with a majority vote.

Want to vote for a referendum? I can easily use the number of Chinese people to crush you to death! The few obey the majority? The majority now are yellow-skinned Chinese!!

It is precisely with this confidence that in this naval battle, China was a little hasty at the beginning, and in the middle of the battle, logistics has always firmly taken the initiative!

At the end of November, the long-awaited naval battle between China, the United States and Japan finally broke out on the East China Sea.

Of course, the Japanese devils who were eager to show off were the first to launch the attack. The ultimate goal of the Japanese fleet was still Shanghai. The first wave of attack fighters made the huge bright spots appear on China's shore-based radar for the first time. On weekdays, only a small number of planes could be seen flying by, and now there are large bright spots connected together.

This made many Chinese radar soldiers very excited.

However, since the US military did not send fighter jets to launch a coordinated attack, the Chinese side did not fight to the death from the beginning, but instead sent corresponding interceptor fighter jets to intercept and strangle the Japanese aircraft group.

In order not to over-stimulate the Japanese devils and tempt the US military to go deeper, China even intercepts fighter jets in batches and levels.

The fighter jet that launched the interception operation was even more than ten kilometers away from the downtown area of ​​Shanghai. The pilot who was well-known in Japan could even see the Wanguo Building Complex on Nanjing Road, Shanghai!

Doing this is a bit like a tactic of overtaken by accident. If more than 100 planes fly over and China will send an equal number of fighter jets to intercept it at once, it will definitely prove that this is a trap.

Even if it is not a trap, if the military power shown is too strong, the US-Japan coalition will definitely consider its own strength and turn around and run away. This is not in line with the original intention of completely annihilated or severely damaging the joint fleet.

After accurately grasping the opponent's psychology, and then letting the fighter jets who went to intercept the combat show a little hurriedly, the US-Japan coalition indeed had the idea of ​​loopholes in China's defense line in the report sent by the front crew.

China is really too huge. Its long coastline is not as high as Southeast Asian countries, but it is more than 10,000 kilometers. Now it still has to bear the South China Sea, Southeast Asia, Australia and even Guam. The landlords have no surplus food!

This successful deception in China made the US-Japan coalition illusion, and the task performed by the US fleet commander this time was to test the Chinese naval strength and coastal defense capabilities as much as possible. Such an ambiguous command is precisely the easiest to execute.

If we say that the first wave of fighter jets has been intercepted in small batches and multiple times, the US fleet commander really did not expect to succeed in the first wave.

The message that China's defense strength conveyed by these fighters is not strong is really heart-pounding. After the test mission is completed, it is best to add the results and achievements of bombing important cities like Shanghai, China.

There is not much practical significance to bomb Shanghai. Although Shanghai was an important industrial and economic city for the Chinese in the past, the limelight of Shanghai has long been replaced by more dynamic industries and economic cities in southern China, and bombing Shanghai will not have considerable practical significance.

Just in terms of strategic significance and war morale, this is definitely a super profitable deal with small capital and big profits.

Bombing Shanghai can slap China, which has been invincible in the face from a propaganda perspective, and can also give a real boastful incident to the false battles in China every day. It not only seriously hits the arrogance of the Chinese people, but also greatly inspires the morale of the people in the country to continue fighting against the Chinese invaders.

In addition, it can create a large number of American national heroes, pilots, commanders and a series of relevant personnel, just like the United States sent fighter jets to bomb Japan at a long-range time.

When a hero has a good thing, he can return home, promote national morale as a hero, buy war bonds, etc., without continuing to live a worried life here,

It was easy to deal with what was left in my heart. The commander of the US fleet immediately ordered the fleet to move closer to the Japanese fleet, and at the same time ordered the US fleet aircraft carrier to be ready for group attacks immediately. He did not ask for the results of the battle, but wanted to get a vote and leave!

Not only was the US fleet excited to learn that the US fleet launched an attack, but the Japanese fleet also quickly burst into morale. After being intercepted and driven back, the first wave of fighter jets returned to the aircraft carrier, the ground crew members on the Japanese aircraft carrier desperately refueled the fighter jets, loaded the ammunition, and prepared for the next wave of attacks to launch.

The sailors in other cabins of the warship were also overly excited and desperately checking the turbines and boilers and other power equipment to ensure that the ships should not slow down.

Under the investigation of the early warning aircraft, when I saw that the US fleet was no longer wandering around, but had a clear purpose, the same excited Chinese radar crew changed their voices when reporting the latest situation. I finally waited for these super battleships!

The latest situation was quickly transmitted to various combat units through dense communication networks. Soon, the ground crews at various air force bases who had been waiting anxiously and were eagerly waiting, quickly loading missiles, bombs, various ammunition and oil onto various attack fighters in excitement.

Although the Japanese ground sailors have the same excitement mentality, they are technically more effective than those Japanese ground sailors, which is the result of long-term training.

At 9:50 a.m., the second wave of Japanese attack fighter jets began to take off. Not far behind them were more than 100 fighter jets taken off from the US fleet. Two batches of fighter jets merged into one place and flew to Shanghai more fiercely than the first time.
