, Chapter 775 We were prepared

"Did they fall from the sky?" This sentence was shouted directly by the commander of the Pacific Fleet of Soviet Russia, Yumashev, to the commander of the Japanese fleet in North Korea, Vice Takeshi Toyoda.

The sudden appearance of the Chinese fleet led to a direct rift in the intimate relationship between the Russians and the Japanese.

For the support of the Japanese troops stationed in the Kiyojin area, the Russians did not hesitate to refuse.

The Japanese suffered a crushing defeat in Tohoku, but they never retaliated too violently. On the contrary, in the information obtained by the Russians, some high-level Japanese people are still seeking peace talks with China.

Although the Russians also understood that the feud between the Japanese and the Chinese was difficult to resolve, politics has always required concessions for the sake of interests, and often compromised. The peace talks of the Japanese were only temporary, and they were only a delaying strategy adopted for the sake of the war in the south. But who knew that the Japanese compromised the Russians in order to seek a longer period of tranquility on the Korean Peninsula and the mainland.

If the Russians in Vladivostok were really sold, the Russians would have no place to cry.

So they resolutely resisted the Japanese reinforcements coming to help, and even some Japanese actions at the mouth of the Tumen River on the border between North Korea and South Korea made them nervous and gave warnings.

The mouth of the Tumen River is still occupied by both the Japanese and the Russians, and the last coastline is guarded by the threat of the fleet.

But now the instability of the Japanese has made the Russians nervous.

"The highest vigilance, not only to be wary of the Chinese, but also to guard against the Japanese!" General Meretskov did not dare to be sloppy in the slightest, and soon gave new instructions.

Now Vladivostok is indispensable for the defense of this area of coastline.

The Russian army held Artem, the last line of defense north of Vladivostok, blocking the land passage of the peninsula.

After the fall of the guerrilla city, the city of Sioux, was captured by the vanguard army, the Soviets held Nakhodka and protected the right flank of Vladivostok.

But on the left flank, in addition to the coast near Vladivostok, the Russians advanced their defenses to Possiette near the mouth of the Tumen River, holding the mouth of the Tumen River.

In the initial defensive front, although the Russians believed that the large ships of the Chinese could not enter the Whale Sea, they could still run ships of 1,000 tons through the mouth of the Tumen River, and if the Chinese gathered a large number of small ships, they could also pose a certain threat to Vladivostok.

In order to fill this hole, the coastline on both flanks must be defended and cannot be missed. For this reason, the guns of the Russians were also aimed at the Japanese.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on? Don't say that the fleet of the Huaxia fell from the sky! At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Navy, Yamamoto Isoroku, also reprimanded with a straight face.

Although he did not pay too much attention to the solemn condemnation of Kuznetsov, the commander of the Soviet and Russian Navy, he was extremely surprised that the Huaxia fleet suddenly appeared in the Whale Sea.

Everyone under his command stared at each other, and they were collectively speechless.

Japan now has a great deal of internal disputes, and there is no compromise with the Chinese at all, and in the inquiry just now, there is no record of a large fleet passing through.

"Inner ghost?" Many people have these two words in their minds, and there is no other explanation at all than this.

"Someone has decided on his own?" This tradition in Japan is in the Army, and it is rarely seen in the Navy, which is highly educated. The navy requires a high degree of coordination, and strict adherence to orders is the cornerstone of ensuring the operation of the fleet, which deserves Yamamoto's vigilance.

He immediately sent someone to investigate thoroughly, but after checking around, it didn't seem to be the case.

Although a lot of problems were investigated, no trace of the passage of the Huaxia fleet was found.

Yamamoto Fifty-six was awe-inspiring in his heart, and shifted his focus to why the Chinese people were elusive.

"How did they get through the blockade and into the whale sea?" Yamamoto fifty-six pondered hard, but finally couldn't figure it out.

If the reason cannot be found, maybe one day, the Huaxia fleet will suddenly appear in Tokyo Bay and bombard the Imperial Palace. This unknown threat is the most frightening, and even Hirohito asked at this time. This is also the reason why he turned his attention to this matter despite the threat that the US Pacific Fleet was rushing to Australia.

……

"We're prepared!" Meng Xiang's understatement erased the curiosity in the hearts of Fan Chong and the others.

Before the implementation of the plan, Fan Chong and the others also took into account the problem of the fleet, but Meng Xiang was full of confidence and made a package ticket.

Meng Xiang didn't bother to borrow from the Japanese at all, and the Japanese sub-base in Hokkaido was enough to provide a fleet.

With the upgrading of the sub-bases, only one sub-base that remained in Japan was enough to cover most of Japan.

With the help of mining vehicles, the sub-base absorbs a large number of various resources from Japan, and there is a tendency to hollow out and cut off the roots. However, Japan's domestic defense is tight, especially because there are many eyes and ears, and it is difficult to develop on a large scale. Only in inaccessible places to provide some help to the Red Army and other resistance organizations, dragging the Japanese half-dead development.

It was also under the cover of the Red Army that the sub-base built two shipyards in remote areas, and produced some small ships for smuggling and reconnaissance.

Meng Xiang thought of this place when he considered that Vladivostok needed naval support, so he urgently added several temporary shipyards to build new warships.

Coupled with the officers and men of the Navy who arrived by submarine and airlift, such a mysterious fleet appeared in the sky.

However, due to the rush of time, the two Dreadnought-class battleships were only upgraded to the second level. The other two Red Alert aircraft carriers involved in the attack were only one level. But this was enough for the Soviet-Russian Pacific Fleet.

In order to completely block the possibility that the Chinese could sail down from the mouth of the Tumen River and the Heilongjiang River and carry the landing force, the Pacific Fleet's torpedo boats, gunboats, and other small warships were scattered to the nearby coast.

For example, in the excellent ports of Posiette and Zarubino near the Tumen River, small and medium-sized Russian ships were stationed.

Even most of the more than 20 submarines of the Pacific Fleet went north, relying on Soviet Harbor to block the larger ships of China that were most likely to appear at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River.

Those small and medium-sized warships were not strong in the first place, and at this time they were even more scattered and vulnerable.

Even the main battleship in Vladivostok was nothing more than a Yamato, a Nagato plus four cruisers. This is also the reason why the Russians strengthened their defenses.

In the memoirs of the commander of the Russian Navy, Kuznetsov, 41 years ago, the Soviet and Russian navies had only 3 battleships, 7 cruisers, 59 destroyers and 28 submarines.

At this time and space, the Russians bought a few more battleships, and then a number of cruisers to cope with the escort mission, which led to the expansion of the Pacific Fleet's strength.

But even so, it is okay for their forces to bombard the army, and against two second-class dreadnought-class battleships and two first-class base aircraft carriers, plus two Alaska-class large cruisers, two Baltimore-class heavy cruisers, and four Cleveland-class light cruisers, the fate can be imagined.

In order to deal with those small warships, there were also 12 destroyers on the trip.

Four of the destroyers are nothing more than the Pioneer Navy's own designation, these big guys with a standard displacement of 6,000 tons have another name called the Oakland-class light cruisers, and the other eight destroyers have also abandoned the Fletcher-class and Allen-Sumner-class destroyers, and the Keeling-class destroyers of the first water.

In order to build the Chinese Navy, Meng Xiang is not afraid of the most expensive, but seeks the best.

The Alaska-class cruisers are already close to the battlecruisers, and the cost is almost catching up with the Iowa-class battleships, but for the sake of the title of the pinnacle of World War II destroyers, Meng Xiang still produced two for combat testing. It's just that considering that it has not experienced World War II artillery fire, it is difficult to comment on the performance, and 2 Baltimore-class heavy cruisers, which are classics of World War II, have been added.

Because of the small number of shipyards, the tight time, and the limited production capacity, Meng Xiang also tried to choose the best performing warships in World War II.

The Brooklyn-class light cruisers and the Yatra-class light cruisers were not considered cruisers by the standards of the Vanguard Army, and they had already begun to be used by the Americans, so only the Oakland-class was selected as a destroyer. Although the main guns were a little less, the strengthening of the anti-air capability also saved the Japanese fleet from the danger of possible air strikes.

Similarly, instead of choosing the Fletcher and Allen-Sumner destroyers that the Americans have already begun to use, Men Xiang also had this idea in mind, but the Keeling-class, which has stronger air defenses in Yishui.

When the Chinese fleet enters the Whale Sea, the Japanese will react. If you are not careful, you may suffer a loss at the hands of the Japanese. Although there are radars, army aviation, and even aircraft carriers, it is not wrong to be more prepared.

The Cleveland-class performance that the Vanguard has been using is also good, and it was also selected for this combat lineup.

Coupled with the accompanying submarine formation, how could the Russians resist with such a powerful fleet?

Moreover, the fleet of the Huaxia Navy did not appear from the mouth of the Tumen River and the Heilongjiang River to entangle with those small warships, but came directly from the sea and pierced Vladivostok.

……

After two second-class dreadnoughts also erupted in anger, the formation against the cruising fleet near Vladivostok quickly ended the battle.

The Nagato-class battleship of the Russians was cut in two by an explosion and sank to the bottom of the sea after receiving two 420-mm naval gun shells.

Although the Kirov-class light cruiser Gorky, which had not been in service for a long time, hit the second-class Dreadnought Jiyuan with three shells of 57 times the diameter of the 180 mm main gun in succession, it only scratched a little itch for him.

And the Jiyuan's close-range round of guns directly tore the 100-150 mm conning tower armor on the bravely charging Gorky into pieces, turning the Kirov-class cruiser into a big fireball.

Next, without the slightest suspense, this Soviet and Russian cruising fleet used to deter was completely annihilated.

"Let's go shell Vladivostok!" Still not satisfied, the formation of dreadnought-class battleships continued to move forward.
