Chapter 427: Showing Weakness to the Enemy
"Master!" Liu Guangzhong reported to Zhang Chi: "The fire has been controlled, and the logistics personnel are repairing the deck and elevator!" ”
"Hmm!" Zhang Chi nodded, and he was relieved to hear that the "Pinghai" was fine. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This can also be regarded as a great luck in misfortune, being hit by a Japanese suicide fighter was only slightly injured.
"Did the radar detect the second wave of the devils?" Zhang Chi asked.
"Report!" Zhang Junhua replied: "It has been detected, but it is ...... They seem to have turned back! ”
Zhang Junhua was a little confused about what the situation was.
But Zhang Chi smiled, he knew that this should be the devil who thought that the "Pinghai" had been severely damaged, so he pulled the second wave of aircraft back...... Fortunately, this is the case, because the devil's tactic of breaking up into pieces and then interspersing a few suicide fighters among many fighters is really difficult to deal with, because from the outside, it is almost impossible to tell which plane is a suicide fighter, so it is impossible to prevent it from approaching, unless you can shoot down all the incoming enemy planes in one breath, but this is obviously difficult to do.
"Master!" Then Liu Guangzhong reported to Zhang Chi: "The power has been restored, and the fighter can also be received, do you want the fighter to land?" ”
It is necessary to let the fighters land on the ship to prepare, because after a fierce battle, some of the fighters' bullets have almost been hit, so take this break time to let the fighters land on the ship one by one to replenish ammunition, so as to be as ready for combat as possible.
But Zhang Chi thought about it and replied, "No...... Order all fighters not to land! ”
"Master!" Hearing this, Zhang Junhua and the others couldn't help but be puzzled.
"Besides......" Zhang Chi then ordered: "Burn a few fires on the deck, preferably a smoking one...... Do you understand? ”
"Oh!" Hearing this, everyone understood a little.
Liu Guangzhong went to arrange it in person without saying a word.
"The meaning of the master seat is...... Showing weakness? Staff Officer Liang asked.
"Hmm!" Zhang Chi nodded, thought for a while, and said: "Not just to show weakness to the enemy, we also have to be prepared to withdraw from Iwo Jima for a period of time!" ”
"Evacuate Iwo Jima?" This time, the staff officer was confused again.
Originally, he also pretended to let the "Pinghai" be injured, so that the Japanese army would not bomb it again...... You must know that the bombing of the devil just now really made Staff Officer Liang a little frightened, and it was the first time that a devil had hit an aircraft carrier with a suicide fighter like this, and it was a good thing to be able to temporarily deceive the devil no matter what.
However, Zhang Chi wants the Chinese navy to withdraw from the waters of Iwo Jima, which is temporary, but it may have an incalculable impact on the war on Iwo Jima...... For example, how to solve the supply of the landed troops on the island? How to solve the problem of fire reinforcement? How to solve the reinforcements?
Looking at the officers with anxious faces, Zhang Chi said: "Japanese, I'm afraid that what we are waiting for is the moment we leave, I mean...... The reason why they are attacking us at such a bloody point is to force the navy out of the waters of Iwo Jima! Then I will grant their wish...... Do you think what the Japanese would do if our navy was really unable to fight because the aircraft carrier was seriously damaged and withdrew from Iwo Jima for fear of an attack by the Japanese fleet and submarines? ”
Zhang Junhua nodded suddenly and said: "Good way, the devils on Iwo Jima Island will definitely be eager to get out of the tunnels and launch a counterattack, and then we only need to fight a defensive battle instead of going to a tunnel to attack!" ”
The officers couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this.
"That's just one of them!" Zhang Chi said: "On the other hand...... If we withdraw from the waters of Iwo Jima, it is very likely that the Japanese Combined Fleet, which has not dared to fight our army because of its lack of air supremacy, will appear in the waters of Iwo Jima, and they will hope to attack our troops stationed on Iwo Jima from both land and sea, and they will even hope to take the No. 1 airfield so that they can regain control of the sea and airspace of Iwo Jima! ”
Hearing this, Staff Officer Liang couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Then we will come back to attack them again!" ”
So the strategy was decided, and the Chinese Navy and Air Force staged a show over the coastal waters of Iwo Jima......
First of all, the "fire" on the aircraft carrier has flare up again, and it looks like there is an oil leak somewhere and a fire has started again.
Of course, it was not a real fire, but the fighters on the "Pinghai" took waste tires and burned them on the deck.
Then the fighters circled around the aircraft carrier, pretending to be in a hurry to land but could not land, and finally they could only brave the Japanese artillery fire to land at Iwo Jima airfield...... Although the Japanese artillery fire was not intensive, the shells were genuine, and the fighters were very expensive, and they were often damaged by shrapnel in some places, and there was a high probability that something would go wrong in the next battle.
But there is a saying that a reluctant child can't trap a wolf, and in order to achieve the goal of deceiving the Japanese army, it is still necessary to take this risk.
So Kuribayashi Tadamichi became excited again, and as soon as he got this information, he sent a telegram to Rear Admiral Shiina: "Shiina-kun, you have been very brave and successful in the battle against the Chinese fleet, and you have once again witnessed that our Imperial Japanese warriors are invincible...... the aircraft carrier 'Xianghe' has obviously suffered heavy damage, which can be seen from the black smoke rising from the sea, which makes the Chinese army's fighters have to land on Iwo Jima!" I thought, here's our chance! ”
After receiving this telegram, Rear Admiral Shiina confirmed that the "Shozuru" had been wounded and could not recover the fighter...... The only regret that made him regret was that he could not sink the "Shozuru", but Rear Admiral Shiina was still inevitably secretly complacent in his heart, because before that, Koga Mineichi and Toyoda Vice Takeshi tried to sink the "Shozuru" which was considered a shame several times but failed, and even paid a heavy price, especially in the Battle of the Marianas...... In World War alone, hundreds of warplanes were shot down.
As a result, the Japanese soldiers have a legend that the "Xianghe" protected by the god of sunshine fell into the hands of Chinese, and it became the protection of the Chinese army...... This does not bode well for the Japanese army, and perhaps it indicates the decline of the Japanese army.
Of course, this was only spread secretly, and if this was heard by the chief, he would inevitably be beaten.
And now, this "Shozuru" has suffered a heavy blow in the hands of Shiina Taro, which makes Shiina Taro feel that the victory came too suddenly.
At this time, he regretted a little that he had withdrawn the second wave of fighters, and he knew that he should have done nothing and let them go up and completely sink the injured "Xianghe".
But......
Shiina Taro immediately thought that there was another submarine "I-44" in the waters off Iwo Jima.
