Anti-Japanese War: The whole world is a base vehicle

Chapter 105 Have you ever experienced the excitement of being chased by a battleship? (Subscribe!)
boom!
boom!
boom!
Their small-caliber warships were no match for the British heavy cruisers and the battleships that had just arrived, and they could only be beaten.

Not to mention the damage, the range alone is not enough.

As for getting close?

Not to mention, it might be blown into two pieces by one shot.

So Colonel Yoshihiko Nonaka was originally thinking about counterattacking, but after seeing the heavy cruisers and battleships of the Far East Fleet, he immediately backed down.

"Damn it, where is the Yukikaze? What the hell did it do?" Colonel Yoshihiko Nonaka roared angrily.

He now really wanted to know what the Yukikaze had done and why the British army was chasing them like crazy.

Unfortunately, no one answered him.

Because now they are just trying to escape.

"Did it mean that the British battleship was sunk? Is this still the Yukikaze?" Colonel Yoshihiko Nonaka guessed.

"boom!"

While he was distracted, a naval gun shell almost hit his flagship, and he was so scared that he had to order a full-speed retreat.

As a result, this retreat completely confirmed the fact that the Japanese warships attacked the British fleet.

"Send a telegram to Commander Nagumo and tell him that our unit was attacked by the British Far East Fleet and request tactical guidance." Looking at the increasing number of British warships behind him, Colonel Yoshihiko Nonaka felt his scalp tingling and shouted in panic.

If there were only one or two warships, he could use the kite-flying tactic to kill the enemy.

There are more than a dozen warships now. How to fight?
The radio distress call quickly reached the First Air Fleet. Upon learning that his own warships were being chased by British warships, Nagumo Tadachi was very angry for a moment, but he calmed down after being persuaded by his subordinates.

"Yoshi, what you said makes sense. It's impossible for the Far East Fleet to attack us without any reason." Nagumo Chuichi agreed with his subordinates' statement, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Ask Yoshihiko Nonaka what's going on."

"Hay."

Not long after, the detailed telegram came into Chuichi Nanyun's hands again. After reading the contents of the telegram, he was even more confused.

"The Yukikaze? When did it leave the port?"

Not only was he confused, but everyone else was confused too.

You should know that after the Yukikaze destroyer entered service, it was registered to the Wu Naval District and was initially assigned to the 2th Destroyer Squadron of the 2nd Torpedo Warfare Squadron of the 16nd Fleet.

Although it is not its first air fleet, the basic information is known.

As a result, his subordinates now told him that the Yukikaze had left the port and was suspected of destroying the British warships.

This completely confused Nanyun Chuichi.

What the hell is going on.

Facing the British Far East Fleet alone?

When did the Yukikaze become so powerful?

You know, he's just a destroyer.

"Commander, now is not the time to pursue this issue. We must rescue Yoshihiko Nonaka. They have encountered the British fleet and I'm afraid it won't take long before they are sunk." The operations staff said at the right time.

Upon hearing this, Chuichi Nagumo did not answer immediately, but instead thought about the consequences of going to war with the British Far East Fleet.

Although the Japanese army had decided to move south, they even took over the island of Kalimantan in the shortest time.

Obtain countless mineral resources.

But they were not ready for war with the British.

If we rashly engage in battle with the British Far East Fleet now, it would probably cause considerable controversy.

"Commander, even if we don't take action now, it won't be long before the British army will take the initiative to attack us." The combat staff saw Nanyun Chuichi's hesitation and advised again.

This is true!

After all, although Dutch Indochina belonged to the Dutch, the Dutch followed the British.

They are now occupying the Dutch colonies, and the British will certainly not let this go.

In addition, the previous attack on Annan had already offended Britain and France.

Instead of waiting for the enemy to come, it is better to take advantage of the current opportunity to completely destroy the enemy.

Hearing this, Nanyun Chuichi thought for a moment and felt that it made sense, so he gritted his teeth and gave the order.

"Then dispatch all warships to rescue Nonaka Yoshihiko immediately, and prepare all carrier-based aircraft to take off."

"Let them know who the real overlord of this sea area is."

"Hay."

If it was the main force of the Royal Fleet, I'm afraid Chuichi Nagumo would have to think twice, but now it is only the Far East Fleet, and there are not many decent battleships, so he can completely destroy them.

If he can't beat the opponent, how can he survive?
On the other hand, Admiral Tom Phillips, commander of the British Far East Fleet, was also very annoyed.

Four battleships were sunk, and this is nothing.

So where does the face of the British Empire Royal Fleet go?

They are the best navy in the world.

and so!
Whether it was for face or revenge, he had to destroy that damn bastard.

Otherwise, his ending would definitely not be good.

Thinking of this, Admiral Tom Phillips didn't care about anything else and immediately ordered to continue the pursuit and to sink the three cruisers in front of him.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The three Japanese cruisers will probably never forget this scene in their lifetime. They were chased by more than ten warships.

From time to time, shells fell near them.

If they are not careful, their ship will be destroyed and everyone on board will die.

"Baga, full left."

"Baga, full right rudder."

"Baga, speed up."

Colonel Yoshihiko Nonaka felt that he had never experienced such an exciting naval battle in his life.

Especially when looking at the fleet chasing behind him, he could only wipe the sea water off his face while constantly commanding the warship.

The Japanese sailors on the deck began to vomit.

There's no way, the speed is just too fast.

Even the old sailors couldn't hold on.

But they couldn't care less at this moment.

The other side looked like they were not going to sink them, which really scared them.

In particular, Colonel Yoshihiko Nonaka was giving orders while cursing what the Yukikaze had done.

Did they bomb their battleship or something?
He actually chased them regardless of everything.

"Send another telegram to Commander Chuichi Nagumo and tell him that if he doesn't come, we will be doomed."

boom!
A naval gun shell landed right on the deck of a cruiser.

The violent explosion instantly blew a big hole in the deck.

Not only that!

The sailors on the deck were caught off guard and were blown off the deck and into the sea by the shock wave generated by the explosion.

Fortunately, the caliber of the naval gun was not large. If it was a battleship's gun, we would be completely doomed.

Even so, Colonel Yoshihiko Nonaka suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

If we don’t get support, we’re probably really doomed.

"Full speed ahead, full speed ahead." Colonel Yoshihiko Nonaka shouted loudly. Fortunately, the caliber of the ship's guns was not large. If it was a battleship's gun, it would be completely doomed.

But even so, Colonel Yoshihiko Nonaka was frightened. He could only pray that his own warships would come to the rescue quickly, otherwise he would be doomed.

At this moment, several black spots appeared in the distant sky. As the black spots continued to expand, a closer look revealed that they were their own fighter planes.

The Japanese warships that were being chased and fleeing everywhere on the sea finally felt that they were saved.

This is so fucking exciting.

Colonel Yoshihiko Nonaka felt that in all his years as a navy officer, he had never felt as excited as he did today.

"It's our torpedo bomber, it's our torpedo bomber, we are saved now."

At this time, the torpedo bombers in the sky saw their own warships being attacked, and without saying a word, they dropped torpedoes at the British fleet.

Looking at the torpedo planes appearing in the sky, Admiral Tom Phillips clenched his fists. He knew that the war had broken out.

He can't retreat at all now.

The battleship Prince of Wales was sunk.

If this were made public, it would be a disgrace to the British Empire.

With this in mind, Admiral Tom Phillips continued to issue new orders.

"Be careful to avoid torpedoes, fire anti-aircraft guns, and shoot down enemy planes."

"Yes."

"Commander, can you calm down? We don't have authorization from the mainland. What should we do if a war breaks out now?"

"I'm responsible for everything," Admiral Tom Phillips roared regardless.

He was so furious that he didn't care about so many things. His only thought now was to destroy the three warships in front of him.

"Let the planes on our aircraft carrier take off immediately and fight against the Japanese fighter planes." Admiral Tom Phillips shouted again.

Hearing this, the others could only respond.

Immediately, a new naval battle officially broke out.

The culprit behind all this has long since fled.

Or rather, no one cares about this anymore.

After two days and two nights of bloody fighting, the British Far East Fleet was defeated.

The main reason was that they lost the air battle.

Yes!

Their carrier-based aircraft were shot down by Japanese carrier-based aircraft pilots, and then the First Air Fleet arrived and began to chase the British Far East Fleet.

Admiral Tom Phillips' new flagship was sunk again in this naval battle, and he himself sank with the battleship.

In this battle, the First Air Fleet led by Chuichi Nagumo won a great victory, while the British Far East Fleet was defeated, with only a few warships returning.

Seeing this, Chuichi Nagumo immediately ordered the fleet to head straight for Lion City, preparing to take it in one fell swoop.

Moreover, because of the victory in the naval battle, the Japanese army realized the weakness of the British army. The Japanese army, which had been moving a little slowly, decided to increase its efforts to move south.

When Lu Yuhua received the news of the naval battle, more than ten days had passed.

"The Japanese army fought with the British? And sank dozens of their warships? And killed an admiral?" Lu Yuhua looked at Zhang Fakui in surprise, pretending to know nothing.

"Yes, the Japanese navy is indeed powerful. Fortunately, they went south, otherwise the offensive in Qinzhou would not have been so smooth." Zhang Fakui was also a little scared. The strength that the Japanese navy unleashed this time really scared many people.

Hearing this, Lu Yuhua also pretended to be relieved.

In fact, I feel very disdainful in my heart.

If they didn't want to continue using the Japanese army as pawns, how could they allow the Japanese army to be so arrogant?
But now it seems that the effect is not bad.

The contradiction between the British, French and Japanese armies could not be resolved.

The next step is to send the warships to attack the US warships on Luzon Island.

wrong!

It should be a replica of the Pearl Harbor incident.

It will probably take a long time before the Japanese army attacks the American army.

But he couldn't wait that long.

But there are still too few warships in our hands.

If we want to repeat the attack on Pearl Harbor, we may have to build more navies.

As for how much to build.

Lu Yuhua hasn't made up his mind yet.

The main reason is that we are too poor.

After assessing the strength of the US military in Pearl Harbor, he felt that at least hundreds of submarines would be needed to have any hope. Moreover, if the US warships in Pearl Harbor were to be completely destroyed, at least half of the submarines would have to be sacrificed.

It is precisely because of this that he has not thought about whether to do this or not.

One of the consequences was that he had to bear a large part of the losses, which made him very distressed.

Of course, the results of the war must have been very great. After the main US fleet in Pearl Harbor was destroyed, there was probably no fleet in the entire Pacific that could stop the Japanese fleet.

I'm afraid that the Japanese army at that time even had the idea of ​​landing in America.

The reason for bringing it forward is that Lu Yuhua doesn't want America to sit on the sidelines and watch the fire for a year.

Because of this one year, the US military will be more confident.

What he has to do is to drag the US military into the water as soon as possible, so that the US military will not be so strong by then.

Although the result is the same, the process can be more bloody.

"Next, we will attack Qiongzhou, and the offensive in Yangcheng can be suspended." Zhang Fakui suddenly said.

"Why?" Lu Yuhua asked subconsciously.

He is currently training the Marines. So far, the results are quite good. It is expected that they will be able to launch an attack on Qiongzhou in a while.

The Japanese troops in Qiongzhou have average combat effectiveness, and they are not Type A divisions, so it should be very easy to capture them.

Moreover, there are abundant fruits on the island, so the pressure on logistics supply should be greatly reduced.

If it really doesn't work, just drive a base vehicle over there and be responsible for producing weapons, which will reduce the logistical supply.

As a result, Zhang Fakui asked him to stop attacking, which naturally made him a little puzzled.

"The Japanese army is too strong at the moment. It will be difficult for us to defeat them without the intervention of external forces. If we rashly recover these lost territories, it will probably anger the Japanese army. Then they will definitely turn around and attack us, which will not be worth the loss." Zhang Fakui naturally had his considerations.

Who knows, Lu Yuhua shook his head and said.

"Sir, I don't think the Japanese will attack us at all. Their ambitions are expanding as they move southward. To put it bluntly, they look down on poor places like ours. They are now obsessed with oil and steel, which can only be satisfied in Southeast Asia."

"So, we don't have to worry about whether the Japanese army will turn around and continue to attack us."

But Zhang Fakui disagreed with him.

"You're right, but our ammunition is not enough to support us in launching a larger-scale battle. Now the entire sea area is blocked, so the German weapons and equipment should not be able to get in?"

Hearing this, Lu Yuhua suddenly realized what was going on.

He was still wondering why he suddenly changed his mind.

It turns out that he is worried about weapons and equipment.

Before the sea area was completely occupied by the Japanese army, German weapons could still be transported in. Now that even Singapore is about to be lost, the German weapons and equipment naturally cannot be transported in.

Without follow-up equipment, the current weapons reserves will not last long.

Zhang Fakui's considerations naturally have their reasons.

"I don't know. We need to ask the Germans. Even if they can't ship it to Qinzhou, they can ship it to other places. We can pick up the goods from other places." Lu Yuhua thought about it and made up another reason.
