Glorious Mission 1937

Manzhouli former enemy headquarters.

Chen Feng arrived in Manzhouli last night. He wanted to see the Ninth Division, a wild beast with Chinese blood on its hands, being annihilated. However, God seemed to be joking with him. Not long after he arrived in Manzhouli, a The telegram forwarded from the Nanyang Territory completely ruined his mood of watching the show.

The content of the telegram was not very long, but the information contained in it made Chen Feng feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. The telegram was sent by Yan Changxi, and the content was about the navy. According to Yan Changxi, the Heilongjiang Fleet is now ambushed by the Japanese Navy. The loss was extremely heavy, and the remaining warships were surrounded by the Japanese army in the waters of Funafuti Island in the South Pacific, and they were in danger.

The news came so suddenly, and Chen Feng had high hopes for the navy. Originally, he planned to go to the Nanyang Territory after a while, and then spend all the points in his points account to exchange for a batch of advanced warships of later generations, and then hand them over to Nanyang. The navy can directly increase the strength of the navy to a certain height, and it can also show its power on the Pacific battlefield.

Therefore, during this period of time, Chen Feng's task for the navy was to intensify the training and enhance the ability of ocean-going operations. However, it is strictly forbidden for the navy to fight the Japanese navy before its fledgling. There is no difference between the Japanese Navy's deadly knocking and "suicide".

However, what I didn't expect was that the navy actually confronted the Japanese navy. Not to mention the heavy losses, the rest of the warships were surrounded by others. What kind of shit is this.

Chen Feng immediately called Nanyang Leader back, requesting direct contact with the Heilongjiang Fleet, and at the same time attaching the signal frequency of the radio station he is currently using.Soon, Chen Feng got in touch with the flagship of the Heilongjiang Fleet and communicated with the fleet commander Jiang Haitao.

Through communicating with Jiang Haitao, Chen Feng learned that the attack on the navy was entirely a conspiracy by the Japanese side. It turned out that the Heilongjiang Fleet was commissioned by the Nanyang Territory Council this time, and went to Los Angeles, an important city on the west coast of the United States, to serve as a ship that was about to go to Nanyang Territory. team escort.

You must know that the fleet is some precision instruments and industrial equipment purchased by the Morgan family and Rockefeller for the Nanyang Territory, worth more than 5000 million US dollars.In addition, there is a batch of weapons and equipment produced by Huaxia Armaments Company. In total, the cargo of the entire fleet is as high as 6000 million US dollars, which is why Yan Changxi sent the Heilongjiang Fleet to escort.At the same time, it is also used as part of the navy's daily training in order to improve the navy's ocean-going combat capabilities. [

The trip went smoothly without any abnormalities, but there was trouble when the fleet returned.The fleet was ambushed by the Japanese combined fleet 800 nautical miles south of Hawaii. From the deployment of Japanese troops, it can be seen that the Japanese army had planned this ambush for a long time. Not only did they dispatch 4 battleships, but they also dispatched 11 ships. Large cruisers, more than 60 frigates and destroyers, and even a light aircraft carrier and dozens of submarines were dispatched.

Compared with the luxurious lineup of the Japanese combined fleet.The strength of the Heilongjiang Fleet is much worse. The entire fleet has only 2 heavy cruisers and 6 light cruisers. The remaining 12 frigates and 18 frigates are old antiques before World War I. Put them in other The country has long since become a target ship.

More importantly, there are more than 30 large cargo ships protected in the middle of the Heilongjiang Fleet. These cargo ships are all ordinary merchant ships without any weapons and equipment.Once it is targeted by the Japanese naval fleet, I am afraid the only result is to be shot into the bottom of the sea.

The Japanese Navy approached the Heilongjiang Fleet from three directions. First, it dispatched carrier-based aircraft to launch an attack on the Heilongjiang Fleet, and then the submarines and the main fleet took turns to bombard the Heilongjiang Fleet.

In order to protect the merchant ships, Jiang Haitao ordered the fleet to fight back on the spot, and at the same time ordered the merchant ships to immediately retreat in the direction of Hawaii. After all, 800 nautical miles to the north is the territory of the United States. Presumably the Japanese dare not upload their hands on the United States at the door of the Americans.Moreover, Jiang Haitao and the others also knew that the Japanese navy was definitely not here for those merchant ships. Their naval fleet was the Japanese food.

Sure enough, the Japanese did not embarrass those ordinary merchant ships, but concentrated on besieging the Heilongjiang Fleet.

The Japanese commander in charge of this naval battle was Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro, Commander-in-Chief of the First Fleet of the United Fleet. This time the Japanese army dispatched three of the combined fleets, including the main fleet Ise, Hyuga, Fuso, and Yamashiro. , Kongo, Haruna, Kirishima, Hiei, Aoba, Kinugasa, Furutaka, Kako, Kitakami, Oi and many other warships.There is also the aircraft carrier Zuiho.

The brutality of the naval battle was unimaginable. The first confrontation between Chen Feng's troops and the Japanese Navy began at 1941:1 pm on January 29, 5.When the fleets of the two sides approached about [-] kilometers apart, the four ships of the Third Squadron of the First Fleet of the Japanese Combined Fleet Kongo, Haruna, Kirishima, and Hiei fired fierce artillery fire.While speeding up, they crossed the front of the Heilongjiang Fleet, turned the rudder to the left, changed course and galloped around to attack the two frigates "Xinghe" and "Jining" on the right wing of the Heilongjiang Fleet.

The two warships "Xinghe" and "Jining" are old warships launched before World War I, and they are 23 years old.And it's not an armored ship in the traditional sense, some of it is made of wood.In fact, the two warships are not only old and old, but also slow in speed and weak in artillery fire. There are only two single 2mm naval guns, which pose no threat to the Japanese King Kong-class giant ships. The most important thing is the defense of these two frigates Very weak.

Although the two warships tried their best to resist, under the superior firepower of the enemy's four fast cruisers firing from one side, they quickly caught fire.At the same time, the first batch of artillery fired by the Japanese ship destroyed the watchtower of the flagship Nanyang of the Heilongjiang Fleet. Fortunately, Jiang Haitao and others were not injured.

At the same time, four heavy cruisers (Aoba, Kinugasa, Furutaka, and Kako) from the Sixth Squadron of the First Fleet of the Japanese Combined Fleet and two light cruisers (Kitagami, Oi) from the Ninth Squadron also joined the battle group, facing the Heilongjiang The 2 capital ships of the fleet were besieged.

At 9 o'clock in the afternoon, a total of 4 old ships of the Heilongjiang Fleet were sunk, and 8 old frigates were seriously injured and lost their ability to move. However, none of the [-] main battleships suffered major damage. Seeing the Japanese fleet The firepower was so strong that Jiang Haitao had to order several other warships to rescue the naval officers and soldiers who fell into the water nearby, and then the whole army fled south.

Originally, 800 nautical miles to the north was the Hawaiian Islands of the U.S. Army, where the powerful Pacific Fleet of the U.S. Navy was stationed, but Jiang Haitao knew that since the Japanese dared to come out to ambush them blatantly, it meant that the Japanese were ready for war. Even if the Americans are involved, the Japanese navy will not stop, and it is not very safe to go north. The Japanese army cannot avoid this move, so the only way out is to go east or south, and go east to return to Los Angeles, USA , to the south, you can directly reach Australia. After weighing, Jiang Haitao decided to buy a fleet and sail south immediately.

Seeing the Heilongjiang Fleet fleeing southward, the Japanese army immediately pursued it.At this time, the frigate Xinghe was extinguished due to the embers on board, and the fire broke out again.The fire engulfed the pharmacy, which was very critical.Seeing the precarious Xinghe moving forward, Jiang Haitao ordered the naval officers and soldiers on board to immediately transfer to the flagship Nanyang, and at the same time open the valve to let the Xinghe sink to the bottom of the sea.

However, just after escaping less than 50 nautical miles, Jiang Haitao discovered that a dozen large warships suddenly appeared in front of him, and the distance between the two sides was less than [-] nautical miles. Jiang Haitao knew at a glance that it was another ambush from the Japanese combined fleet , had no choice but to command the fleet to flee to the southeast. [

The two sides fled and chased, fighting and stopping along the way. After two days and two nights of bitter fighting, the Japanese combined fleet finally surrounded the 19 remaining warships of the Heilongjiang Fleet in the waters of Funafuti Island in the South Pacific.Along the way, 11 warships of the Heilongjiang Fleet were sunk, 3 sank on the bottom of the sea, and 5 were captured by the Japanese Navy. The entire fleet lost half of the ships, and there were more than 1200 casualties.

However, the losses were all some old battleships. Only one of the eight main battleships was sunk, and the other two were seriously injured, and they still had the power to fight.

Just when Jiang Haitao and others were preparing for a desperate battle, the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy stopped the attack on its own initiative, and the two sides confronted each other in the waters of Funafuti Island.

In fact, Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro, the commander of the Japanese First Fleet, was also extremely depressed at this time. Seeing that the prey had entered the trap and could enjoy the joy of harvest immediately, the Ministry of the Navy issued an urgent order to stop the attack immediately. Just encircle this Chinese fleet, don't annihilate it for now.

Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro was quite puzzled by this, and asked the Ministry of the Navy to give them a reason. As a last resort, Admiral Nagano had no choice but to tell Takasu Shiro the truth. , At the same time, an infantry regiment of the 23rd Division was also surrounded. If the Imperial Association Army is included, the total number is more than 1.

Now it is at stake, and there is a possibility of being completely wiped out by the Chinese army at any time, and the reinforcements from the Kwantung Army will not be able to break through the blocking of the Chinese army in Hailar. The two parties negotiated on this basis.

After learning the truth, Takasu Shiro was very annoyed, and he cursed at the army in front of Lieutenant General Kondo Nobutake and others, but the scolding was the same. At this time, we must pay attention to unity, and Takasu Shiro must endure it no matter how uncomfortable he is.Maybe Takasu Shiro's mood at this time can only be understood by Chen Feng, a fellow sufferer!
