Chapter Twenty-Eight: Blockade!
Guam.
Five hundred and ninety kilometers to the west.
At night.
"Amaterasu bless."
A devil transport ship full of food and some fuel quietly sailed towards the devil's homeland, and on the watchtower, a devil soldier looked around the dark surrounding sea and prayed silently in his heart.
Although the devils tried their best to blockade it, it was limited to the mainland, and outside, the news of the fiasco of the Combined Fleet still spread, and all the devils knew in their hearts that this sea was no longer safe, but dangerous.
The enemy could attack at any time.
For safety, the captain ordered all lights to be turned off, even the anti-collision lights, and drove all by experience, while driving to the maximum horsepower in anticipation of the fastest speed possible through the sea.
"Amaterasu bless."
Inside the bridge, the devil captain with decades of experience is also worried.
Although all the lights were turned off, the engine was running at full power, causing a huge noise, and the anxiety in his heart at this time was thinking that this noise was overwhelming and rolling in.
In fact, the best way to sail at low speed is to make the least noise and be the quietest, so that you can avoid being detected by sonar.
As a senior captain, he also knows some news about the blockade, the enemy's technical level is very strong, the combined fleet has suffered an unknown number of losses, and there is a great possibility that it will be equipped with very advanced sonar.
But he couldn't help it.
It is impossible to get out of Guam coverage without driving at full speed.
During the day, a large number of enemy planes returned to patrol, which was even more dangerous.
The situation in the country is critical, and there is a serious shortage of supplies, so he must find a way to transport this batch of food and materials back.
·······
"Huh..."
West of Guam, in a sea area of 450 kilometers, inside a newly commissioned torpedo boat, a young soldier stared at the radar screen and couldn't help but yawn.
"The little devil shouldn't dare to take the lead."
He couldn't help but mutter.
The combined fleet has been overturned, the whole world knows about it, and there are also bombers on the devil's own territory to drop leaflets on a large scale, at this time, there should be no devil transport ships looking for death.
"Don't think of devils as too scared to death."
The captain shook his head.
The navy is a new branch of the army, but also a technical branch, soldiers need to be familiar with the sea, familiar with navigation, will not be seasick, and need a good level of knowledge, can master various technical equipment of warships, as well as navigation.
The former is okay, the fishermen who are familiar with the sea catch a handful, but it is really not good, and catch some elite seedlings from the troops, strong physical fitness, and good adaptability of the soldiers, and the troops will catch a handful.
After a few months of training at sea, it is no different from that of a senior fisherman, sleeping in five or six sea conditions is like playing.
Most of the ships are now filled with such soldiers.
The engine room is also on duty.
With the expansion of the tank unit, a steady stream of talents in the field of engines in the army have emerged, although the torpedo boat uses a low-speed large diesel engine, and the structure is very different from the tank, but after a period of training and teaching by the master, it is no problem to master the basic use and maintenance, as well as maintenance.
But with a good level of knowledge, this is difficult.
Cultural knowledge is not something that can be replenished in a day or two, or in a month or two.
Although there are many intellectuals in the coastal areas, and even more so are willing to fight for the country, before the construction of the base areas, a large number of talented people poured into the factories and received personal training from the masters under the organization of the troops, and these intellectuals were all digested by the factories.
The future cannot be affected for the sake of the current naval construction.
Therefore, at this time, the large torpedo boats were all newcomers, either good seedlings selected from the army, young, hard-working, trained on the ship, and some intellectuals recruited by Nanyang.
It was the latter on his side.
Chinese, followed his parents to Nanyang after an hour, is half a college student, high level of cultural knowledge, complex radar, navigation equipment, under the teaching of the master, a month to completely learn, and even disassemble and troubleshoot.
Sonar will also play.
But he lacks combat experience, and although he hates devils, he obviously doesn't know much about devils.
As for himself.
After four years of enlistment, former members of the special squad of the Independent Regiment, followed the political commissar to learn cultural knowledge for four years, although not comparable to monks, but it can be said that the cultural foundation is not weaker than any high Chinese basis, more than a year ago followed Wang Gensheng to the coastal areas to begin to form a sea guerrilla unit, the political commissar also found a master master to teach them navigation knowledge, after a year of sea crawling, he was promoted to captain a month ago.
The large torpedo boat continued to advance, and the radar antenna on the top still rotated.
Half an hour later.
"There is a situation."
The situation on the screen lifted the spirits of the young soldiers on duty:
"One hundred and fifty kilometers away, suspected transport ship signal."
"Lean in."
The captain immediately ordered.
The warship he commanded at this time, although nominally a torpedo boat, was completely different from the previous small boats of more than 100 tons.
The displacement has increased dramatically, the full load has reached 1,450 tons, and it is equipped with one single-barreled 125-mm naval gun, two 40-mm high-level dual-purpose single-barreled guns, plus four detachable 550-mm torpedoes, which can be disassembled to carry out mine assignments or load other weapons if necessary, or high-speed armed motorboats.
Beep Pavilion
Although there has been some enhancement in terms of weapons, it is really impossible to show up for this tonnage, and only four torpedoes, one single-barreled 125 naval gun, and two 40-mm small guns are placed on a ship with a full load of 1,400 tons, which can be described as a reduction in the simple allocation.
This also brings additional benefits.
Very good endurance, four seats of 5,000 horsepower pressure injection low-speed diesel engine, large fuel capacity, so that it has a maximum range of 5,000 nautical miles, and the speed also has a maximum of 28.5 knots.
There is also quite a nice living space with a high level of comfort for the members.
The reduction of weapons, high-quality diesel engines, also reduced the need for personnel.
So strictly speaking, it should be called a frigate, at most with a torpedo.
In the plan, this is the future coastline patrol boat, which will be used to fight criminals at sea and defend the sea frontier.
Today, when the combined fleet has been almost completely annihilated, this kind of frigate is suitable for dealing with devil merchant ships.
Even if the torpedo is removed, for a merchant ship, the 56 times diameter 125 mm fully automatic main gun is very powerful, and the reason why the torpedo is loaded is purely to sink the merchant ship as quickly as possible.
·····
The next day.
Tokyo, Prime Minister's Office.
"The enemy has landed in Balikpapan."
"The enemy has landed in Palembang."
"The Higashisaka Maru was sunk."
Fumiro Konoe received another piece of bad news.
"Got it."
He threw the telegram on the table with great determination.
Two oil fields are the enemy landing, this is normal,
The Combined Fleet was defeated, and only six warships were left to return home, and each of them was wounded, needed repairs, and completely lost its combat effectiveness, and the Great Japanese Empire at this time had no navy.
Without the navy, the other side still doesn't attack the Empire's transport ships?
"Prime Minister."
A staff officer rushed in in a hurry:
"They're on the peninsula."
"A large number of tanks have entered the peninsula, the 97th and 98th wings stationed there have lost contact, and the garrison has requested tactical guidance."
Konoe Fumi's breathing suddenly stagnated, and his face seemed to be a little pale, then he took a deep breath, still calmly took the telegram, and threw the telegram directly on the table without looking at it.
Tactical guidance?
How else does he have tactical guidance now?
Li Yunlong and others have been bombing the empire for eight and a half months, and it has become more and more intense, and it is conservatively estimated that there are two million tons of bombs that have fallen on the empire itself.
In recent months, even that kind of single-engine attack aircraft have dared to bomb the Reich itself.
The city was almost flattened, and you would be hard-pressed to find a few intact buildings, due to the lack of bombing targets, roads, railways, and even country roads were enemy bombing targets.
The transportation of supplies has become a major problem, and the mobilization of troops is almost impossible.
The empire is paralyzed.
Also tactical guidance a fart.
And now that the Combined Fleet has failed miserably, the Empire has lost its sea power, and even if it gathers its forces, it will not be able to transport it, and the Sea of Japan is already full of enemy warships, and the so-called missile destroyer is patrolling the Sea of Japan!
There is no way but to wait for death.
As for the so-called 100 million jade fragments, he couldn't help but sneer when he thought of this Konoe Wenlu.
100 million jade pieces?
The enemy did not have the idea of landing on the mainland, but continued to bomb everywhere, as if there was an endless stream, and now even the ports have begun to bombard, even the farmland.
By what jade crush?
Rely on bamboo poles to barrel other people's bombers?
He only now realized that there were so many idiots around him.
This 100 million jade fragments and even the locusts have some tacit meaning.
However, a few people put forward a little useful suggestion, surrender to the United States, and use the United States to balance the Republic of China, and the locusts also acquiesced, and he also sent people to contact, but there has been no response yet.
But.
He had a premonition in his heart.
I am afraid that this thing will not be so easy to succeed, and the United States is now deeply trapped in Europe.
······
At the same time.
Somewhere above the devils, five ten-shot bombers came here.
"This is the devil's oil depot."
The navigator pointed to the flat ground below and said:
"According to intelligence, more than a million tons of heavy oil are stored here."
After killing the devil's combined fleet, Li Yunlong immediately prepared to draw money from the devil's kettle and blow up the devil's fuel reserves, so that the little devil's warship would be completely finished.
"Ready."
As the commander's words fell, in the cabin, the bombardier opened the bomb compartment, leaking several large, modified ground-penetrating bombs.
Radio guidance was added.
It has been changed to an incendiary bomb.
Hugh Hugh Hugh ·
Then one after another huge ground-penetrating bombs fell to the ground, and the huge inertia caused the hard warheads to shoot directly into the ground, reaching the underground oil depot facilities, and a few seconds later, fierce flames burst out of the surface.
It's like a volcanic eruption.
"Withdraw."
After dozens of incendiary bombs were dropped, the commander retreated to the mainland with his aircraft.
······
"General."
Somewhere in the port, inside the ship Yamato in a hidden berth, Vice Takeshi Toyoda, who was a teenager old, received a telegram:
"The oil depot was bombed by the enemy, and all the fuel reserves were destroyed."
"Got it."
Vice Takeshi of Toyota sighed, but he was not hit by this bad news.
Although he brought back six battleships, plus the Nagato for a total of seven, because of the battle, six battleships were in addition to the Yukikaze, and the rest suffered serious losses and could not sail for combat without repair.
As for the Nagato, it is already crippled.
There is also some oil left.
The oil depot was blown up and he had little effect.
However, the influence of imperial shipping is very great, and without these fuels, those cutting-edge transport ships will be completely useless.
What he can do now is to use the fleet's defense and control artillery fire to defend the airspace of this port and several factories in the surrounding area.
The anti-aircraft firepower of the fleet level, combined with the anti-aircraft guns of the ground forces, is still very effective, and the previous enemy bombardment was successfully repulsed, and at the last moment, find a deep sea to open the sea valve to avoid humiliation of the combined fleet.
······
"Let's just let go of those warships of the devils?"
In Heyuan County, the deputy commander of an air force regiment was a little unwilling.
Knowing the location of the Devil's Combined Fleet, and there is an important factory nearby, it makes people very angry that they don't bomb it.
"Leave them alone for now."
Huang Quanle's response:
"It's not interesting to bomb and sink now, the regiment commander means to capture it in the future."
"Shhh
In the command room, everyone's eyes widened in unison.
······
"Continuing the lockdown next?"
In Ping'an County, in the conference room, the elders gathered, and everyone looked at Li Yunlong.
Although····· However, the commander of this operation is Li Yunlong and Grand Master Li, and the rest of the people are watching the play, as for the follow-up, the concept is that strong neighbors are absolutely not allowed.
"Continue the blockade and urge it to surrender."
Grand Master Li Zhengse said:
"Let's first slowly seize Southeast Asian islands and other places, follow the example of the Yunnan-Burma Highway, use economic means to influence, and try to weaken the military influence."
"Good idea."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The devil still has some strength at present, and the slogan of 100 million jade fragments still has a bit of appeal, although he is not afraid, there is no need to sacrifice in vain.
As for the islands of Southeast Asia.
Although carrying a gun is very exciting, everyone has gradually discovered that the best way is not to use a gun to force others to do something, but to use money to induce others to do something, and then support local forces, and the currency is directly linked to food stamps to form a community of interests.
In this way, we can completely put an end to being robbed of interests by enemies and opponents.
It's much better than some kind of ghost colonization and direct occupation.
Although you actually sold someone else, and asked someone else to count the money for you.
"But it's not about doing nothing."
Li Yunlong continued:
"There are still a lot of local technicians in the little devils, and we can recruit some of them, so we have to increase our support for the resistance forces within them, and recruit some technicians by the way."
"Hmm."
Everyone nodded and smiled.
Military blockade, internal division, causing contradictions······ Feng Shui takes turns.
"And then."
Li Yunlong suddenly continued:
"I'm going to recruit a little ally force on the peninsula·····"
·····
Meanwhile.
White House.
Franklin also convened a meeting for the devil's sneaky contact.
