Chapter 938: The Combined Fleet of the Japanese Navy is destroyed
In Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, USA, in the bridge of the Japanese Navy's Fengxiang-class aircraft carrier Fengxiang, the captain of the Fengxiang aircraft carrier, Yuzaburo Kato, held a telegram in his hand, and walked to the side of the commander of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, Heihachiro Togo, with an anxious face, "Your Excellency, the big thing is not good, there is a call from China, and the Americans have surrendered unconditionally!" ”
"What! The Americans are surrendering at this point? Didn't the armies of the Chinese Empire just launch an attack on the American mainland? Heihachiro Togo asked with a shocked expression. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Kato Yuzaburo said bitterly: "Your Excellency Commander, the Americans have indeed surrendered, and the news has been announced to the world, and now Prime Minister Katsura Taro has ordered our combined fleet to maintain the honor of our Great Japanese Empire, and fight until the last moment, and absolutely cannot surrender to the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire together with the US Navy at Pearl Harbor, and would rather be broken than destroyed!" ”
Heihachiro Togo smiled bitterly, after European countries surrendered to the Chinese Empire, the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire concentrated most of its main forces outside Pearl Harbor, but the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire did not attack.
The situation at Pearl Harbor has become very clear, the US Navy and the Japanese Navy are trapped here, and they have no chance to fight even if they are trapped beasts, as long as they dare to leave Pearl Harbor for half a step, unless they surrender, they will only have the fate of sinking.
The warships that came to Pearl Harbor before the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet had a total of 2 Fengxiang-class aircraft carriers, 2 Hyuga-class super dreadnought battleships, 2 Hiei-class battlecruisers, 6 Ise-class super dreadnought battleships, 6 Fuso-class super dreadnought battleships, and 3 Amagi-class dreadnought battleships, adding up to 21 capital ships.
In addition, the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy, which also had 3 all-steel battleships, 12 large fast armored cruisers, 32 fast protection cruisers, 46 destroyers, 78 torpedo boats, 16 offshore gunboats and 22 submarines, also came to Pearl Harbor and joined the so-called coalition Pacific Fleet.
After the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire attacked Pearl Harbor, although the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy suffered great losses, because the water depth in Pearl Harbor was very shallow, most of the hulls of many sunken warships were still exposed, so if these warships could be towed to the shipyard, it was possible to repair them, but unfortunately the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire did not give the Japanese such a chance, not only blockaded Pearl Harbor, but even the only shipyard in Pearl Harbor was bombed into ruins.
Heihachiro Togo asked Yuzaburo Kato in a deep voice: "How many warships are still in combat capability in our Combined Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy?" ”
Yuzaburo Kato immediately said: "Your Excellency Commander, according to the previous statistics, our combined fleet has 2 Hyuga-class super dreadnought battleships, 4 Ise-class super dreadnought battleships, 4 Fuso-class super dreadnought battleships and 1 Amagi-class dreadnought battleship, and can continue to fight, in addition to 1 all-steel battleship, 8 large fast armored cruisers, 23 fast protection cruisers, 30 destroyers, 68 torpedo boats, 15 offshore gunboats and 19 submarines can also fight, Although our two Fengxiang-class aircraft carriers can maintain their sailing, they have been unable to take off and land carrier-based aircraft because of the serious loss of the flight deck, and have lost the ability to fight again. ”
Heihachiro Togo pondered for a moment and said: "Order all warships that can fight to immediately enter the first level of combat readiness, and in addition to retaining the most basic combatants, everyone immediately picks up guns and prepares to seize the American warships, and those warships that cannot continue to fight must gather everyone on the warships to seize the American warships!" At this time, the Americans had already surrendered, and in order to continue the fight with the Imperial Chinese Navy, we, the Combined Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy, must control Pearl Harbor, otherwise we will not even have the slightest chance! ”
After hearing this, Kato Yuzaburo immediately nodded and said: "Your Excellency Commander has a point, if we can control all the warships of the Americans in Pearl Harbor, then our Combined Fleet will still have the strength to fight with the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire!" ”
Heihachiro Togo shook his head and said: "Kato-kun, don't have any unrealistic illusions, if we can defeat the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, our Combined Fleet and the main force of the US Navy, we will not be trapped in Pearl Harbor for more than half a year, we seize the warships of the US Navy and capture Pearl Harbor in order to maintain the last honor of our Combined Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy!" ”
After a pause, Togo Heihachiro said gloomily: "Now the Chinese Empire is no longer something that our Great Japanese Empire can compete with, and the Chinese Empire has now done what our Great Japanese Empire has always wanted to do - dominate the whole world!" ”
Yuzaburo Kato gritted his teeth at this time and said, "But Your Excellency, the Chinese Empire will never be able to conquer our Great Japanese Empire!" ”
Togo Heihachiro nodded and said: "Our Japanese Empire has the blessing of Anamerasu, the Chinese Empire does not want to conquer us, a few days ago, the Chinese Empire concentrated a large number of troops, ready to land on the Kyushu Island of our Great Japanese Empire, but under the protection of Amaterasu, a typhoon suddenly blew on the sea, so that the landing plan of the Chinese Imperial Army had to be canceled before it began!" ”
Kato Yuzaburo sighed and said: "It's a pity that our combined fleet can't withdraw to the mainland, otherwise we can cooperate with the shore defense artillery to protect the coast of our Great Japanese Empire, even if there is no typhoon, the army of the Chinese Empire will not want to land easily." ”
Heihachiro Togo sighed and said, "Control the American fleet and Pearl Harbor in your hands first, and then study other things!" To be honest, it will be difficult for our Combined Fleet to break through the blockade of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire outside Pearl Harbor. ”
At the same time, in the headquarters of the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy at Pearl Harbor, US Admiral Sampson said in a deep voice to dozens of vice admirals and rear admirals of the US Navy: "I think everyone already knows that we, the United States of America, have unconditionally surrendered to the Chinese Empire!" Washington sent a telegram ordering all U.S. Navy ships in Pearl Harbor to surrender to the Imperial Chinese Navy as soon as possible, and at the same time hand over Pearl Harbor to the Royal Chinese Navy! ”
At this time, a vice admiral of the United States Navy frowned and said: "Now that the government has announced its surrender, our navy in Pearl Harbor has no point in fighting, but now the Japanese navy in Pearl Harbor is a trouble, Japan has not surrendered to the Chinese Empire, nor has it signed any armistice agreement with the Chinese Empire, and according to what I know about the Japanese, it is impossible for them to surrender to the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire with us!" ”
Then another U.S. rear admiral said: "Don't forget, what happened in the port of Yokohama, Japan, many years ago, our U.S. Navy Pacific Fleet had enough of the suffering of the Japanese!" I believe that the Japanese in Pearl Harbor must have known about the unconditional surrender of the United States of America, and perhaps the Japanese are studying and repeating the incident at the port of Yokohama! ”
U.S. Admiral Sampson snorted coldly and said: "This is Pearl Harbor, not Japan's Yokohama Port, if the Japanese dare to act rashly, I don't mind avenging the Navy officers who died in Yokohama Harbor back then!" You must know that it was the Chinese Empire that we surrendered, not the Japanese! ”
The U.S. Vice Admiral who had just spoken said to Sampson: "Your Excellency, we must take precautions to prevent any changes from happening before the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire enters Pearl Harbor. ”
At around 1 p.m. on April 27, 1915, inside Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, the United States, suddenly heard a fierce gunfire and intensified, while the battle began between the two allies.
In order to control the U.S. Navy warships in Pearl Harbor and the entire Pearl Harbor, the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet transferred nearly 30,000 men from various warships to use small landing craft, hovercraft, and lifeboats to suddenly attack the U.S. Navy warships in Pearl Harbor, preparing to seize these U.S. warships.
However, the officers and men of the US Navy were well prepared and immediately launched a fierce resistance, and took control of the naval guns on the warships, and launched artillery bombardments on the Japanese Navy's small boats and warships, and the warships of the Japanese Navy also immediately returned fire, and the Pearl Harbor was suddenly lively.
Admiral Sampson, the supreme commander of the US Navy, organized the US Navy in Pearl Harbor to counterattack the Japanese Navy, and on the other hand, sent a telegram to the Royal Navy of the Imperial Chinese Navy, requesting that the fleet of the Royal Navy of the Imperial Chinese Navy immediately enter Pearl Harbor and receive all the ships of the US Navy in Pearl Harbor and all military facilities in Pearl Harbor, and at the same time suppress the Japanese Navy and caused this riot.
While the Americans and the Japanese were fighting fiercely in Pearl Harbor, a large number of carrier-based planes of the Imperial Chinese Navy flew over Pearl Harbor and bombed various Japanese Navy warships in Pearl Harbor.
Seeing the dense carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, the officers and men of the US Navy cheered for the first time, as if this was their own carrier-based aircraft.
The Japanese in Pearl Harbor saw a large number of carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Chinese Navy appearing in the sky, and knew that their plan to seize the warships of the US Navy could not succeed, but the Japanese did not stop fighting, and all the Japanese warships were still firing at the warships of the US Navy.
It was not until 7 o'clock in the evening that the sound of guns and cannons in Pearl Harbor fell silent, except for the sunken warships, the rest of the warships of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet were seriously damaged and lost their combat effectiveness, and they were already controlled by the officers and men of the US Navy, and the commander of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, Togo Heihachiro, committed suicide by disembowelment, and nearly 100,000 officers and men of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet finally survived and became prisoners, so the main force of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet was destroyed.
