Rise from the sword

Chapter 684

"Order."

After hanging up the phone call of Tianlocust, Deputy Wu of Toyota looked pale:
"Fuso, Yamashiro, and Mogami form the first fleet, under the command of Lieutenant General Nishimura, to immediately support Naha Port, bombard the enemy's position, and assist the army to regain the position."

"Shanyun, Manyun, and Zhaoyun form the second destroyer fleet to support the first fleet."

The phone call from the locust just now asked him to take back Naha Port immediately, or let other capable people do it.

Deputy Takeshi Toyoda was naturally unwilling to give up his power, so without detailed information, he could only immediately organize a fleet to go to Naha for support, and cooperate with the army that was gathering on Ryukyu to regain Naha.

The enemy obviously has an ambush and a backup, as evidenced by the disappearance of the Caiyun reconnaissance plane. It is estimated that this support fleet will never return, and the best result will be heavy damage, heavy losses, and a long repair period.

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

Same ending as Nagato.

So he was reluctant to send a capital ship.

Battleship Yamato, Musashi, and four aircraft carriers are all preparing for a decisive battle. Now is not the time for a decisive battle. The enemy's main force has not assembled, and there are no suitable targets. The chaff jammers developed for missiles are still being tested.

After roughly knowing the technical principle of the missile, jamming is actually not difficult.

It is impossible for the devils to develop radar jamming equipment without that technical background, but chaff physical jamming is not that difficult, it just takes a little time to integrate into a weapon.

So he first sent a squadron to support to deal with the anger of the locust.

But Ryukyu is indeed very important. Once the enemy builds an airport here and deploys aircraft, the combined fleet's range of activities will be cut in half, so Deputy Takeshi Toyoda also took out some of the bottom of the box.

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

Although chaff jamming bombs have not yet been installed, the Fuso class has undergone air defense transformation, and its air defense capability has been greatly increased. With the addition of three destroyers and a location more than 600 kilometers away from the enemy's mainland, it should be able to barely deal with the enemy's air threats.

A total of 24 365mm naval guns are enough to destroy all shore positions and destroy the enemy's delusion of occupying Naha.

Even if the final loss is all sunk, as far as the United Fleet is concerned, it can also bear it.

"Come closer at night to launch an attack."

Deputy Takeshi Toyota exhorted.

During the day, aircraft dominated, and the air strength of the empire was far inferior to that of the opposite continent. However, aircraft that used torpedoes and bombs as combat methods at night were almost impossible to fight. As for missiles, the coastline could also greatly affect their accuracy.

After being beaten more, the devils have also summed up their experience.

"Aren't you going to send combat planes?"

A staff officer on the side couldn't help asking.

"No."

Deputy Takeshi Toyota's face darkened.

What are you sending the plane for?

He has only a few planes on the aircraft carrier that can take off, and if he goes there, he will give away the results of the battle!
······
"For this landing operation, Huang Quan deployed [-] fighter jets, [-] attack planes, [-] 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."

In Ping'an County, Li Yunlong looked at the map of East Asia on the table with a leisurely and positive tone.

Combining the experience of fighting the Devils Navy in the past few months, it is not difficult to come to this conclusion. After all, it has suffered a lot. Anyone can recognize the reality and know how to keep a low profile.

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

In the ocean at night, even with moonlight, the lighting range is very limited. As for the flares, they can be used on land, but not on the open and vast sea. The seven or eight tons of air incendiary bombs like pomegranates are useless.

In a few months, the devils concluded that missiles are easy to interfere with the coastline experience, which is also normal.

"It's inevitable."

Ding Wei on the side nodded in agreement.

Although the situation in the Northeast is still the same, but the situation has been settled, Commander Ding left the front line, handed over the command to a new generation of officers, and came back to see the counterattack against the devils.

"hey-hey····"

Li Datuan 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 a 01-class guided missile destroyer has participated in the battle.

It is also the first large-scale collective battle of our own navy, with 01 fast missile boats, [-] fast torpedo boats, and the flagship 'Heyuan', the first [-]-class destroyer.

After several months of training, under the hands-on teaching of more than a dozen masters, Wang Gensheng and others have completely mastered the 01-class guided missile destroyer, and can exert [-]% of its strength.

The standard displacement exceeds 100 tons, which is dozens of times that of a missile boat. It is equipped with a large, state-of-the-art radar that can detect surface targets and air targets more than 38 kilometers away. For this mission, it is equipped with [-] anti-ship and Eight anti-aircraft missiles.

Moreover, the ship-borne anti-ship missile is farther than the air-launched type, reaching [-] kilometers, and its weight and volume are larger than the empty type. It has a larger natural charge and is more powerful. It is suitable for dealing with Japanese heavy warships.

"The independent flight regiment telegraphed that the transport fleet has already taken off."

At this time, a staff officer reported a piece of news to Li Yunlong.

"here we go."

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes.

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

······
two hours later.

Naha.

A pair of twin-engine transport planes landed in the temporary airport, and teams of soldiers came out of the cabin.

For the distance of more than 600 kilometers, for a twin-engine transport plane, it takes only two hours including take-off. For this mission, Huang Quan prepared [-] twin-engine transport planes.

It's not impossible to prepare more.

In fact, after such a long period of full-scale development, the army has initially solved the problem of insufficient pilots. At present, there is no problem in collecting [-] or even [-] transport aircraft in the base area.

The reason why only [-] planes were sent out was because of the constraints of the terrain structure. The hastily constructed airport can only bear the maximum capacity of [-] planes. If you want to continue to expand, even if there are construction machinery and bombs, it will take more than ten hours. .

Also, five hundred transport planes are enough.

Because there is no need to carry weapons, all fighters travel lightly. A twin-engine transport plane can easily carry 30 people, and the crew has very good comfort.

Then there are 5000 people in one trip.

The Devils United Fleet is dealt with by the Air Force and the Navy. The Army only needs to deal with the Devils in other parts of Ryukyu and a few landing troops.

Adding in the 2000 troops originally landed by motorboat, that would be 7000 troops.

Moreover, there are 7000 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 Naha port, it is completely feasible to fight the United Fleet alone and prepare for a period of time.

Therefore, among this group of people, there are still a large number of engineering troops for the construction of Naha Port.

According to the plan, this place will become the main military base in the Western Pacific, deploy a large number of fleets and aircraft, completely cut off and block the devil's southwest route, and avenge the past 14 years.

·····
at dusk.

boom···

A shell landed on the field, and the fierce shock wave carried the mud and flew several hundred meters away, forcing a squadron of devils who was preparing to attack to retreat repeatedly.

But immediately after, another shell landed in the center of the squadron formation. After the smoke cleared, a squadron disappeared, leaving only a deep pit with a depth of [-] meters.

"idiot."

Seeing this scene, the captain of a devil brigade commanding from the rear was tearing his eyes.

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

But he did not expect that the group of enemies occupying Naha Port actually carried artillery.

And it's heavy artillery.

Looking at the huge crater, the captain quickly judged that it was a 305 caliber heavy artillery.

Is this the light infantry that the division commander said?

"Retreat, retreat."

The captain hurriedly organized a retreat.

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

·····
"It's still fun to use heavy artillery."

Looking at the retreating devil brigade, Zhang Dabiao sighed with emotion.

This time, because of sufficient troops and sufficient manpower, or in other words, manpower overflow, he pulled out two shore-based 305 heavy artillery from the 'warehouse' and placed them on the position.

Compared with the army's 305 heavy artillery with track self-propelled, the shore-based 305 heavy artillery weighs more. It is familiar with the former and has no track self-propelled function, but it is designed with a 360-degree rotating base, an automatic loader, a longer barrel, and a longer range. farther.

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

The former needs to manually bind the steel bars, and then wait for the cement to cool and solidify after grouting. Even if there is an engineer battalion, it takes two days with quick-drying cement, but the latter can be done in half an hour with an excavator.

"Hmph, want to run? It's too late!"

Zhang Dabiao snorted coldly.

Immediately afterwards, twelve self-propelled 203 heavy artillery, 48 125 howitzers, and 48 105 howitzers fired at the rear, and the shells fell one after another, covering the entire brigade of devils in an instant.

"idiot."

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

If this is a gang of light infantry?
So what are they?
A primitive man with a fire stick?
The shelling lasted for 5 minutes, and after the smoke cleared, almost no one in the entire brigade of the devils stood, and then thirty No. [-] tanks started their engines and rushed towards the devils.

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

"The light infantry still has tanks."

The ghost captain, who was still breathing his last breath, had a flash of thought the moment he saw the tank, and then he was buried directly by the tracks.

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

Zhang Dabiao looked at the surface of the sea first.

The biggest problem in this battle was not the Devils Army, but the Devils Combined Fleet. Before the Naha Airport was fully established, they could only rely on the planes that took off from the local area and the small fleet led by Wang Gensheng to repel the Devils Navy.

······
at the same time.

White House.

Mr. Franklin also had news from Asia.

"They took Naha?"

Hearing the news, his complexion suddenly changed.

Although the United States is fully preparing for the attack on the Siegfeller line of defense, he pays much attention to the Western Pacific, even higher than the European Western Front.

Because he can only look at the Western Pacific, which 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, the air superiority is indeed very strong. They sank a large number of Japanese warships in a few months, but no matter how strong the air superiority is, it cannot replace the role of the navy. They dared to seize the island and land without the navy providing escort and logistical supplies. ? !

Looks like it's time for another military advisor.

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

That group did not have a formal navy or an ocean-going transport fleet, but Natuna had deployed more than two hundred combat aircraft and even deployed large-caliber shore artillery.
