Chapter XI

"Command."

Hanging up the locust phone, Toyota's deputy Wu turned pale:

"The Fuso, Yamashiro, and Mogami formed the First Fleet, commanded by Vice Admiral Nishimura, and immediately supported the port of Naha, shelled the enemy's positions, and assisted the army in retaking their positions."

"Shanyun, Manyun, and Chaoyun form the Second Destroyer Fleet to support the First Fleet."

Just now, the locust called him to take back Naha Port immediately, or let other capable people do it.

Naturally, Vice Takeshi Toyoda was unwilling to give up the power in his hands, so in the absence of detailed information, he could only immediately organize a fleet to go to Naha to support and cooperate with the army that was assembling on the Ryukyus to recapture Naha.

The enemy obviously has an ambush and a rear hand, and the disappearance of the Caiyun reconnaissance plane is proof of this, and it is estimated that this support fleet will not return, and the best result will be heavy damage, heavy losses, and a long maintenance period will be required.

And the current national strength of the empire is simply impossible to maintain.

The same ending as the Nagato.

So he was reluctant to send the capital ship.

The Yamato, Musashi battleships, and four aircraft carriers are all prepared for a decisive battle, and this is not the time for a decisive battle, the enemy's main forces have not been assembled, there is no suitable target, and the chaff jamming bombs developed for missiles are still being tested.

After a general understanding of the technical principles of the missile, jamming is actually not difficult.

It is impossible for the devil to develop radar jamming equipment, there is no technical background, but there is not much difficulty in the physical jamming of chaff, it is nothing more than that it takes a little time to integrate into weapons.

So he first sent a detachment to support the wrath of the locusts.

But the Ryukyus were really very important, and once the enemy established an airfield here and deployed aircraft, the range of activities of the combined fleet was almost cut in half, so Toyoda Vice Takeshi also took out part of the bottom of the box.

Two Fuso-class battleships and a heavy cruiser fleet went to support the operation.

Although the chaff jamming bombs have not yet been installed, the Fuso-class has undergone air defense modifications, and its air defense capability has been greatly increased, plus three destroyers, and a position more than 600 kilometers away from the enemy's homeland, it should be able to barely cope with the enemy's air threat.

A total of twenty-four 365-mm naval guns were enough to destroy all shore positions and extinguish the enemy's delusional attempt to occupy Naha.

Even if the final loss is lost, all sunk, for the combined fleet, it can be bearable.

"Get closer at night and attack."

Deputy Takeshi Toyoda admonished.

During the day, the world of aircraft is the world, and the air power, the empire is far worse than the opposite continent, but at night the aircraft with torpedoes and bombs as the combat mode is almost impossible to fight, as for missiles, the coastline can also greatly affect their accuracy.

There are many beatings, and the devils have summed up their experience.

"Don't you send combat planes?"

A staff officer on the side couldn't help but ask.

"No."

Toyota's face darkened.

What are you sending planes for?

He now has so many planes on the aircraft carrier that can take off, and he will also send the results of the battle when he goes!

······

"In this landing operation, Huang Quan deployed 500 fighters, 500 attack planes, 20 missile attack planes, and two early warning planes."

"We have absolute air superiority, and the devil fleet will definitely approach the landing site at night."

Ping'an County, Li Yunlong looked at the map of East Asia on the table, and his tone was leisurely and affirmative.

Combined with the experience of fighting with the devil navy in the past few months, it is not difficult to come to this conclusion, after all, there are many losses, no matter who can recognize the reality and know how to keep a low profile.

The only way to avoid your absolute air superiority is at night.

In the sea at night, even if there is moonlight, the illumination amplitude is very limited, as for the flares, it is okay to use them on land, even if they are empty and vast on the sea, the big pomegranate is seven or eight tons of air incendiary bombs, it is useless.

In the course of several months, the devils have summed up the experience of missiles being easily interfered with along the coastline, and it is also normal.

"It's inevitable."

Ding Wei on the side nodded in agreement.

Although the war situation in the northeast is still the same, the situation has been decided, and Grand Master Ding left the front line, handed over the command to the new generation of officers, and came back to see the counterattack against the devils.

"Hey, hey..."

Grand Master Li suddenly smiled.

He couldn't wait for the battle to begin.

Ding Wei also smiled and didn't speak, but his eyes were also full of expectation.

Because this battle is the first time that the 01-class missile destroyer has participated in the battle.

It was also the first large-scale assembly operation of the Navy, with 20 fast missile boats, 15 fast torpedo boats, and the first 'Heyuan' as the flagship of the 01-class destroyer.

After several months of training, under the hands-on guidance of more than a dozen masters, Wang Gensheng and others have thoroughly mastered the 01-class missile destroyer and can give full play to its strength.

The standard displacement is more than 5,000 tons, dozens of times that of missile boats, equipped with a large and state-of-the-art radar, capable of detecting surface targets more than 100 kilometers away, as well as air targets, and for this mission, equipped with 38 anti-ship and 8 anti-aircraft missiles.

Moreover, the ship-based anti-ship missile is farther than the air-launched type, reaching 50 kilometers, and its weight and volume are also larger than that of the airborne type, with a larger natural charge and greater power, which is suitable for dealing with devil heavy warships.

"The independent flying regiment telegraphed that the transport fleet had taken off."

At this time, a staff officer reported a message to Li Yunlong.

"Here we go."

Li Yunlong's eyes narrowed.

The take-off of the transport plane means that the construction of the Naha temporary airport has been completed, and it also means that Naha is on its own side.

······

Two hours later.

Naha.

Twin-engine transport planes landed in the makeshift airfield, and groups of soldiers rushed out of the cabin.

With a distance of more than 600 kilometers, it takes only two hours for a twin-engine transport plane, including takeoff, and for this mission, Huang Quan prepared 500 twin-engine transport planes.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

It's not that you can't prepare more.

As a matter of fact, after such a long period of all-out development, the unit has initially solved the problem of insufficient pilots, and there is no problem in bringing together 1,000 or even 2,000 transport planes in the base areas.

The reason why only 500 planes were dispatched was because of the limitations of the terrain and structure, and the hastily built airport could only withstand the maximum capacity of 500 planes taking off and landing, and if it wanted to continue to expand, even if there were construction machinery and bombs, it would take more than 10 hours.

Also, even 500 transport planes are enough.

Because there is no need to carry weapons, all fighters are light, a twin-engine transport aircraft can easily carry thirty people, and the crew has very good comfort.

That's 15,000 people in one trip.

The Devil Combined Fleet had an air force and navy to deal with, and the army only had to deal with Devil forces elsewhere in the Ryukyus, as well as a few landing forces.

Add in the 2,000 troops that originally landed in the motorboat, that is 17,000 people.

And there are 17,000 troops with sufficient supplies, heavy artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, reinforced concrete, and massive ammunition.

With a force of this size, not to mention a small port of Naha, even if it is a separate and combined fleet, it is completely feasible to give a period of preparation.

So among this group of people, there are also a large number of engineering units, which are used to build the port of Naha.

According to the plan, this will become the main military base in the western Pacific, deploy a large number of fleets and aircraft, completely cut off and block the southwest route of the devil, and take revenge for the past 14 years.

·····

In the evening.

Boom...

A shell landed on the field, and the ferocious shock wave carried the dirt and flew hundreds of meters away, forcing a squadron of devils who were preparing to attack to retreat again and again.

But then, another shell landed in the center of the squadron's formation, and after the smoke cleared, the squad disappeared directly, leaving only a pit 3.5 meters deep.

"Yaga."

Seeing this scene, the captain of a devil brigade commanding in the rear was stunned.

After receiving a direct order from the base camp and the division headquarters, this devil's brigade stationed in the north of the Ryukyus immediately set off, marched at full speed to Naha, and launched an attack as soon as it arrived.

But he didn't expect that the enemy occupying Naha Port was actually carrying artillery.

And it's heavy artillery.

Looking at the huge crater, the group leader quickly judged that this was a 305-caliber heavy artillery.

This is the light infantry in the mouth of the division commander?

"Retreat, retreat."

The captain hurriedly organized a retreat.

The intelligence of the division was a group of lightly armed troops who had landed, so that he dared to attack, but the heavy artillery in front of him proved that where was this light infantry? The division and regiment level does not have such strong firepower.

·····

"It's still a lot of fun."

Looking at the retreating devil brigade, Zhang Dabiao sighed.

This time, because there were sufficient troops, sufficient manpower, or rather, manpower overflow, he pulled out two shore-based 305 heavy guns from the 'warehouse' and arranged them on the position.

Compared with the Army 305 heavy gun with tracked self-propelled guns, the shore-based 305 heavy gun is heavier, which is the familiar back of the former, and does not have a tracked self-propelled function, but is designed with a 360-degree rotating base, an automatic loader, a longer body barrel, and a longer firing range.

At this time, although the reinforced concrete bunker has not yet been built, the underground underground position has been built, and the automatic loader and electric base have also been installed.

The former needs to manually bundle the steel bars, and then grout to wait for the cement to cool and solidify, even if there is an engineer battalion, it takes two days to have fast-drying cement, but the latter can be done in half an hour with an excavator.

"Hmph, want to run? It's late! ”

Zhang Dabiao snorted coldly.

Immediately afterwards, twelve self-propelled 203 heavy guns, forty-eight 125 howitzers, and forty-eight 105 howitzers in the rear opened fire, and one shell after another fell, instantly covering the entire brigade of devils.

"Yaga."

At the moment when his body was blown away by the explosion, the captain of the devil team wanted to kill the group of people above the division.

And if this is a gang of light infantry?

So what are they?

Primitive people with burning sticks?

The shelling lasted for five minutes, and after the smoke cleared, almost not a single one of the Devils' entire brigade was standing, and then thirty No. 4 tanks started their engines and rushed towards the Devils.

Although the artillery fire is intensive, it is impossible to eliminate all the devils.

"Light infantry even has tanks."

The moment the captain of the devil brigade, who still had his last breath, saw the tank, a flash of thought flashed, and then he was buried directly by the track.

"Next, it's up to the Air Force and Navy."

Zhang Dabiao looked at the sea first.

In this operation, the biggest problem is not the devil army, but the devil combined fleet, before the Naha airport is not fully established, it can only rely on the aircraft taking off from the mainland and the small fleet led by Wang Gensheng to repel the devil navy.

······

Meanwhile.

White House.

Mr. Franklin also received news from Asia.

"They took Naha?"

When he heard the news, his face suddenly changed.

Although the United States was fully prepared to storm the Siegfeiler Line, he was not less concerned with the Western Pacific, even more so than on the Western Front in Europe.

Because he can only look at the Western Pacific, and where it also represents the future interests of the United States.

"Where did they get the courage to land?"

A general on the side, the president's military adviser, was very puzzled.

That group of people, air superiority is indeed very strong, and a large number of Japanese warships have been sunk in a few months, but no matter how strong the air superiority is, it cannot replace the role of the navy, and without the navy to provide escort and provide logistical supplies, they actually dare to seize the island and land?!

It seems that it is time for a military adviser.

Franklin glanced at the new admiral, his military advisor, and a thought flashed through his mind.

It is true that the gang did not have a formal navy, no ocean-going transport fleet, but Natuna had not yet deployed more than two hundred combat aircraft, and even large-caliber shore artillery.
