Chapter 1042 Zhuangxing Wine
"Your Majesty, don't worry. This battle will be won by two generals, Koga Hoichi and Nagumo Chuichi."
Cabinet Prime Minister Kuniaki Oiso stood behind Emperor Hirohito and expressed relief.
Hirohito stood on the high platform of a palace outside Tokyo, with his hands behind his back and his eyes looking deeply towards the north.
Today, the Navy of the Empire of Japan will launch a desperate attack on the Chinese Bohai Fleet Fengtian super aircraft carrier battle group that is blocking the Sea of Japan.
This battle must demonstrate the heroic spirit of Yamato national soldiers and must play a role in inspiring the morale of the military and people across the country.
In order to kill with one strike, sink China's Fengtian super aircraft carrier.
Japan dispatched all 35 successfully modified jet Sakura suicide fighters, 125 propeller Sakura fighters, and six submarines carrying 30 Kaiten torpedoes.
Hirohito knew very well that the navy was going all out for this battle.
He was very nervous and even a little afraid of knowing the final outcome of the naval battle.
Japan has reached the end of its rope. If it can be proven this time that the use of jet Sakura fighter jets can inflict heavy damage on the enemy's navy, then they will still have a chance to make a comeback.
Otherwise it will be a disaster.
After Kuniaki Oiso became Prime Minister, he did not have any outstanding political achievements. Instead, the Empire of Japan fell step by step into the abyss of darkness.
Hirohito did not want or want to pay attention to Koiso Kuniaki, and did not take his words of comfort to his heart at all.
If he didn't have a suitable candidate, he would have removed Kuniaki Koiso and reorganized the cabinet.
The two of them stood on the high platform in silence, both looking toward the Sea of Japan.
………
In a secret naval base near Toyama Bay, Japan, Chuichi Nagumo was giving a tour to the kamikaze pilots flying Sakura jet fighters.
The Japanese Navy has detected the location of the Fengtian aircraft carrier battle group in advance and will launch an all-out attack today, which will inevitably cause the enemy's aircraft carrier battle group to sink into the Sea of Japan.
"His Majesty's warriors, the fearless men of the Navy, you have seen the tragedy of Tokyo City and what the Chinese have done to our people!"
Nagumo Chuichi said emotionally to the 35 kamikaze members:
"The Empire of Japan has reached its most critical moment. As members of the Yamato nation, we must protect the Emperor and the nation with our lives!"
"I am sincerely happy that you can grow into excellent kamikaze agents!"
"Everyone in the Navy and the Yamato nation will never forget the contribution you made today. Drink the Zhuangxing wine and move forward indomitably!"
Ogura and the people around him picked up the wine glasses on the table, and after Nagumo Chuichi, they drank all the wine in the glasses.
After the wine glass broke, Tadayoshi Nagumo started, and all the kamikaze team members raised their hands and shouted:
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Long live the Japanese Empire!"
"Long live the Imperial Navy!"
After a warm shout, Nagumo waved his hand, and the kamikaze team members began to rush towards their fighter planes.
Thirty-five jet Sakura fighter jets will be divided into two formations, take off from a secret naval base, fly over the Sea of Japan at low altitude, and pounce directly on the Fengtian super aircraft carrier.
"boom!"
The engines began to roar, and ten minutes after the first batch of 15 Sakura fighters took off, the Sakura fighter piloted by Ogura also began to push towards the runway.
Under the command of the ground crew, he increased the thrust of the engine, became faster and faster, and successfully lifted off.
The plane quickly flew out of the coastline and entered the sea.
Ogura looked back at the empire behind him, but there was still no expression on his face.
All his relatives and friends died in the Nagasaki fire, and he had no worries in this world.
The eyes of other kamikaze agents around him more or less showed some nostalgia and reluctance.
But after getting into the Sakura Fighter, they had no choice but to move forward.
In order to speed up research and development, the jet fighters developed by the Japanese Navy were almost entirely copied from the German Stormbirds, with only some changes in some irrelevant core technical aspects!
The maximum flight speed of the fighter plane is 850 kilometers per hour, and Ogura and others are currently flying towards the target airspace at a speed of about 650 kilometers.
If nothing goes wrong, they will see the super aircraft carrier Fengtian being escorted in 30 minutes.
At the same time as the kamikaze attack, six submarines carrying Kaiten torpedoes also entered the deep sea.
In the submarine, Kuroki and other unfortunate people were listening to the submarine captain's arrogant lingo.
They were already very close to the target sea area. Kuroki and the others drank Zhuangxing wine with their necks raised, waiting for the moment of attack to arrive.
This was the second time Kuromu drank Zhuangxingjiu. He felt that the taste was very ordinary and seemed to be mixed with some water.
'Is the Japanese Empire so dilapidated that it can no longer even produce honest sake?'
Others were worried, but Kuroki's thoughts were far away.
According to the combat plan, the navy's aviation force will be the first to launch an attack on the enemy's Fengtian super aircraft carrier. Only after the enemy fleet is in chaos will the Kaitian torpedoes be launched, fishing in troubled waters.
Kuroki didn't care about the bullshit battle plan. He didn't want to die at all. What he was thinking about at this moment was how to escape and whether he could be like last time.
He felt someone was looking at him, raised his head, and found that the person staring at him was the captain.
He understood the meaning in the captain's eyes, his heart sank, and he lowered his head.
………
The main task of the Bohai Fleet is to cover the super air fortress bombing the Japanese mainland. Fleet Commander Yang Wanquan is not satisfied with this task.
On days when there are no air operations, the fleet with the aircraft carrier battle group as the core will sail to Hokkaido, Japan, to implement a blockade.
Controlling the Tsugaru Strait in northern Japan, Hokkaido is locked.
On this day, the fleet was heading retrograde to Hokkaido when the radar suddenly issued a warning that an unknown formation was approaching at high speed.
"The distance is 15 kilometers. Judging from the speed, it should be the enemy's propeller fighter group!" The radar officer quickly gave his judgment:
"Coming from the southeast, at least 45!"
Affected by the curvature of the earth and the enemy's low-altitude flight, the detection range of radar mounted on warships is limited.
The combat staff quickly reported the situation to Fleet Commander Yang Wanquan.
No matter what the enemy intended, it was safest to shoot him down directly. Yang Wanquan ordered the J-3 carrier-based aircraft to take off to intercept.
Two minutes later, the radar officer reported again.
"An enemy aircraft group was discovered due south, also 45 aircraft!"
Yang Wanquan frowned slightly, and he smelled a conspiracy.
On the flight deck of the Fengtian super aircraft carrier, a steam catapult launched a J-3 fighter jet into the blue sky.
"Dududu..."
The battle siren sounded on every warship in the fleet.
The officers and soldiers of the Bohai Fleet quickly entered combat positions.
