Chapter 9 Combined Fleet: Why did the enemy lose so badly when he didn't have a navy?

"Sell land?!"

Mosco, the bearded man who received the news was so angry that he smashed his beloved pipe:

"Absolutely impossible."

"Go and tell them that no matter how difficult it is, even if we fight the Germans with bayonets, we will never give in, and let them not even think about it."

At this time, the beard, his eyes were red, and his forehead was bruised, because he had smoked a puff of cigarette before, and his nose was still snorting smoke, like an angry bull.

"I support..."

Someone responded immediately, and the horses worked seamlessly.

But in the conference room, a few people silently bowed their heads one after another, their hearts fell into deep thought, and they did not speak rashly.

An ideal is an ideal, and reality is a reality.

Slogans are such a thing, just listen to them, don't take them too seriously.

The current situation is very serious.

The Germans' army was overwhelming, with planes, tanks, and artillery like a torrent, although the allies attacked on the Western Front, pinning down most of the Germans' flying forces, resulting in only some fighters on the Eastern Front.

But tanks and artillery are different.

In the battle of the enemy in June last year, the enemy still had an absolute numerical superiority in artillery and tanks, and the reason for the defeat was that the enemy's strength increased too unexpectedly and he was ambushed.

But by the time of the German offensive in winter, the numerical superiority in tanks and artillery was not great, and the ammunition was even worse, so that in the winter it failed miserably and lost a large number of positions. Fortunately, it was winter, and it was difficult to supply, otherwise the troop losses would definitely be more than doubled.

And now, according to the information that has been summarized by the intelligence feedback from the small-scale battles on the front, the form has been reversed, and the Germans have a considerable advantage in tanks and artillery in addition to the fact that they are still inferior in strength.

Performance advantage, quantity advantage.

Not to mention the ammunition supply.

Moreover, the strength of the army, because of the large number of servant armies of other countries, is also shrinking.

The enemy is getting stronger and stronger, and on their own side, in the last winter battle, although the main forces were retained, the heavy equipment suffered heavy losses, and it had not been replenished in the first place, and now the rear has been bombed, and the production capacity has been hit hard, and the bombing continues, and the weapons and equipment are far from replenishing by themselves.

The aid of the Americans and the British was also cut off by the Trans-Siberian Railway, and the Germans began to deploy aircraft north of Norway to threaten the Arctic Ocean routes, and the number of them plummeted.

I had to take out a loan to buy some people from the Republic of China, otherwise there would be no place to cry.

But it's a drop in the bucket.

When it is really the most critical moment, it is clear how to choose between one's own survival and status and those useless lands and meaningless so-called dignity.

Otherwise, it's not that you're incompetent and furious here, but you don't have any actual action, but you just turn your face.

"That's right."

The bearded man suddenly spoke:

"Send someone to the Far East to find out if those dwarves have other people's support."

To be able to sit in this position, a bearded man is not stupid.

When the little devil was attacked by superior forces, he suddenly swung his army north with all his might, and it is difficult for people not to develop this association - is someone deliberately driving the wolf and devouring the tiger? Profiteering?

······

"Why buy it?"

In Ping'an County, Kong Jie was very dissatisfied with the purchase of land:

"Why should you buy it?"

"If you want me to see, since they robbed it, we should snatch it back."

Although Grand Master Kong has experienced a lot of things in the past few years, and his vision has not widened a little, his temper has not changed.

A flute.

The big blade that followed the grass, he never let go, and even carried out epic strengthening, using the 203 shore gun barrel to recast, and looking for Sun Desheng to press it with a 10,000-ton forging press.

Sharpen iron like clay.

"Kong Er was stunned, do you think this is a play house!"

Li Yunlong sneered:

"Times have changed."

"Now it's not a small scene at the head of the village, and we have to consider the international impact in every move."

"Since we don't have the ability to break the rules now, we have to abide by the current international rules, at least, we must do a good job on the surface, and we can't leave a handle for the future."

"Hmph."

Kong Jie snorted coldly.

He's just plain unhappy, the most hilarious, but not brainless.

It's only a matter of time before the devil fails, and it's only a matter of time before he gets back what belongs to him, so it's time to think about the future.

In the future, we must build a good relationship with our neighbors.

It needs the strength to make the surrounding countries afraid, but there must not be any behavior that makes the surrounding countries afraid, just like Li Yunlong at the beginning, you have to be reasonable when you play hooligans, and you have to have a reason to bully people.

"Will they agree?"

Kong Jie couldn't help but ask.

"Why not?"

Grand Master Li snorted coldly:

"They're going to agree, and they're going to be grateful."

"We can take it directly, but we still have to give money, and they can't be moved by the gratitude?!"

Kong Jie was speechless for a moment.

"There's no going to be a problem with the little devil!"

After a while, he continued to ask:

"They're not idiots."

"What could be the problem?"

Li Yunlong smiled:

"The little devils use 38 big covers, crutch machine guns, 92-type infantry guns, airplanes, tanks, and cannons are all their own, and they have a penny to do with us?"

"Of course."

Li Yunlong paused and accentuated his tone:

"We will strictly follow the previous agreement, and the troops will resolutely not cross the demarcation line drawn by the agreement."

Stop attacking when you drive the enemy to someone else's territory.

“·······”

The corners of Kong Jie's mouth twitched, and he was speechless again.

He wanted to complain, but didn't know how to say it.

But one thing is certain.

He was so uncomfortable, and how painful it must have been for those who listened to these words and were in these things.

······

Southeast coast.

A port.

Barbed wire fences, reinforced concrete machine gun sentry posts, and commanding heights around the perimeter keep the port tightly sealed, and the terrain of the basin makes it impossible to know what is going on inside unless there is aerial reconnaissance.

In the evening.

Inside the port.

Forty motorboats carrying 2,000 elite warriors selected from the Independent Regiment and other units headed for the Ryukyus.

In the front row of the motorboat, Zhang Dabiao had a brand-new gun hanging on his chest and a row of magazines pinned to his chest, and he was lying in the cabin, smoking a cigarette, swallowing rain and spitting fog as the ship undulated.

Beside him, the monk and Duan Peng were also in the same posture.

With a leisurely expression, leaning against the cabin, swallowing clouds and spitting fog.

It's just that the weapons of these two people are different, one is armed with a general-purpose machine gun, and a weak ammunition box is placed next to him, and there are holes in the side of the ammunition box, and a string of metal bullet chains extends from the hole into the machine gun loading hole.

One carried a recoilless gun on his back.

In a cabin for three people.

Some of the warriors were spitting the same clouds, some were looking at the sea through the windows, some were sleeping, and the only thing that was the same was that all of them had a relaxed face.

It's like going on a group vacation.

At this time, the speed of the motorboat was already as high as thirty-three knots, that is, sixty kilometers per hour, and even if the sea was calm, the cabin was shaking, as if caught in a violent storm.

In the cabin, the fighters were also dangled.

But everyone's faces were relaxed, unaffected, and still at ease.

"Eight hours to go."

Glancing at his watch, Zhang Dabiao threw away his cigarette butt, closed his eyes and began to sleep.

Although the battle is not difficult, the strength of the devils around Naha is very weak, but the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, he Zhang Dabiao never despises any battle, does not despise any enemy, this is the criterion for his life until now.

The surrounding sea is silent.

At night, forty motorboats travel at high speed, and in order to reach their destination as quickly as possible, these motorboats have been modified to increase the fuel load to increase the maximum speed range.

······

Early the next morning

"Yaga..."

The devil is home, in the headquarters of the Combined Fleet, Vice Takeshi Toyoda looked at the telegram in his hand and scolded angrily:

"This bunch of damn horse manure."

Staff Officer Kuroda on the side looked at his own commander and did not speak.

He was also very aggrieved and angry.

Coupled with the recent situation, as well as the fact that the subcontinent route has not been opened, and even most of the shipping lanes in Southeast Asia have been cut off, and a large number of materials cannot be transported back to China, the locust also has a lot of complaints about the combined fleet.

But can they be blamed?

Can you blame the Navy?

Is it the incompetence of the Navy to avoid war?

And don't look at how much the Navy has lost during this time?

Not counting the losses of thirteen times to open up the subcontinent, in just five months, in order to protect the shipping lane, in the game with the opposite continent, one battleship was slightly damaged, three heavy patrols were sunk, one light patrol was silent, and seven destroyers were sunk.

Heavy losses.

It's no wonder that the combined fleet is poor.

It's that the enemy is not only powerful, but also very strange.

After the defeat of the Battle of the South and the sinking of the Kaohsiung-class, before the defeat of Bo Bay and the occupation of Natuna by the enemy, the Combined Fleet launched a military operation against the mainland on the opposite shore.

The purpose is twofold.

Encircle and destroy enemy torpedo boats and destroy enemy coastal air airfields.

The fighting lasted more than three months.

During this period of more than three months, the Combined Fleet, which was familiar with the western Pacific as if it were its own backyard, did not find the enemy's position once, but was ambushed by the enemy thirty-three times.

Each time it was a torpedo and dive attack by shore-based aircraft.

The losses of the combined fleet were very large.

The light cruiser Nogai sank, the heavy cruiser Atago, the heavy cruiser Maya, the heavy cruiser Chokai, and seven destroyers.

The most outrageous thing is that because Nagato launched a telegram and also dropped a huge bomb of that kind, the entire superstructure was emptied and needed to be overhauled.

Although some enemy planes were also recorded, the air force had too much advantage over the ships, not to mention that the enemy's aircraft were very good, and the battle loss ratio between the two sides was estimated to be about two to one.

The Empire did not lose a single warship, and the enemy had to pay only two planes.

The enemy seems to be able to spot the position of the Combined Fleet at a very long distance, and even judge the number and type of ships, and direct and direct the departure of attack aircraft groups from shore-based airfields to attack the Imperial warships.

Otherwise, it is difficult to explain that every time a lone fleet is attacked at a distance of 600 kilometers from the coastline, just within the limit of the enemy's shore-based aircraft attack radius, while the main fleet, the fleet with strong air defense, and the aircraft carrier formation are unharmed.

As for attacking the enemy's shore-based airfields.

Although several enemy airfield locations were also found, the combined fleet did not dare to approach at all.

The only time an aircraft carrier was dispatched to take off an aircraft to attack, it was still in the early days, and the end was that not a single plane flew back, if it hadn't slipped fast, I was afraid that the aircraft carrier would have been sunk, and in the later stage, after the enemy appeared that could launch an attack from 30 kilometers away, automatically aim at the target, and still be able to rocket, he did not dare to approach the coastline at all.

"Hey..."

Staff Officer Kuroshima sighed faintly.

The Great Japanese Empire had never been so aggrieved, and even felt hopeless, even if it was faced with the superior American navy, the naval battles were lost one after another, and the losses were heavy, and Commander Yamamoto 56 did not feel this way.

The enemy has only a dozen torpedo boats and almost no navy, while the main forces of the combined fleet still exist and are still the third navy in the world.

But the Combined Fleet lost miserably.

The loss was miserable.

It can be said that it is a complete failure!

He never understood.

At this time, suddenly a staff officer ran in in a hurry:

"Ryukyu Emergency!"
