One man's resistance against Japan, I mobilized a million people to aid Shanghai.
[102] Destination: Kyoto, Japan! Let's go!!
Yokosuka Port.
Yokosuka is located at the entrance to Tokyo Bay and is adjacent to Yokohama.
This place is far more than just an ordinary port; it is the most important comprehensive base of the Japanese Imperial Navy, one of the home ports of the Combined Fleet, and is known as the "Number One Naval Port in the Orient".
It was not only the brain of the Japanese navy, but also its heart.
The Japanese established their headquarters here, and built schools, naval barracks, and shipyards.
This place not only boasts the largest and most advanced dry dock and shipyard in East Asia at the time, but also houses countless warships undergoing maintenance. The massive dry dock can accommodate battleships and aircraft carriers.
In addition, it also stores massive amounts of heavy oil, coal, shells, and torpedoes, making it the lifeline for the fleet's supply.
Once Zhu Yong captures Yokosuka Port, he can quickly build a new naval fleet by utilizing the large number of warships within the port.
Even if the Japanese First Fleet returns to reinforce, I will be able to handle the situation calmly and with ease.
Attacking Yokosuka meant a direct attack on the foundation of the Japanese navy, and its symbolic significance and actual impact were far more intense than attacking the civilian port of Keihin.
If successful, it will greatly shock the Japanese government and public, severely damage the morale of their navy, and may even affect their overall strategy in China.
However, taking Yokosuka would be fraught with difficulties.
To protect Yokosuka Port, the Japanese built a dense network of anti-tank batteries, anti-aircraft positions, and underwater anti-submarine nets around the port, and also stationed elite marines and patrol fleets there.
On the other hand, although they have an aircraft carrier, the carrier-based aircraft cannot even take off.
This sea monster now resembles a floating steel coffin, having lost its most deadly fangs.
To attempt a direct assault on Yokosuka, whose defenses are as solid as an iron barrel, is nothing short of a pipe dream.
"My Lord, in our current state, launching a full-scale attack on Yokosuka would be tantamount to suicide."
The strategist provided sound advice.
"The harbor not only has sturdy coastal fortifications, but also likely warships that haven't yet been deployed. Once we enter their main gun range, I'm afraid..."
"Since we can't launch a direct attack, let's launch a sneak attack and slip in right under their noses."
Zhu Yong's eyes were cold. He now had more than 30,000 clones under his command, a sufficient force. As long as he could rush into the port and fight the Japanese hand-to-hand, he would definitely be able to take Yokosuka.
Before the naval decisive battle, Zhu Yong ordered that all the individual weapons of the navy's warships be placed on the Kaga.
Now, these 30,000 men, each armed with a Type 38 rifle, have no shortage of weapons and ammunition. They can annihilate the Japanese navy's elite forces.
After careful consideration, Zhu Yong devised a crazy infiltration night raid plan.
Instead of landing directly at Yokosuka, they took advantage of the cover of night to avoid the main shipping lanes and the most heavily defended core of the port area, choosing relatively remote coastal areas for dispersed landings.
They continuously infiltrated, sabotaged, and created panic around Yokosuka, and from there spread to the capital of Japan, forcing Yokosuka to send troops to suppress them.
Then the main force lurking on the sidelines can seize the opportunity to take Yokosuka.
"Order!"
"All personnel, inspect light weapons, bayonets, grenades, and explosives."
"Gather all available landing craft and small boats from the ship. We will abandon ship and land at midnight tonight!"
"Remember, no matter what, you must land, even if you have to swim to shore."
"Once we reach the shore, let's fight without restraint! Kill the Japanese devils by any means necessary to strengthen our ranks and avenge all our fallen comrades!!"
Zhu Yong walked to the porthole and looked at the distant sea, which was gradually being shrouded in twilight, where the outline of the Japanese archipelago was blurred.
The lights of Yokosuka flickered in the distance like the eyes of a demon.
"We lost the Battle of Shanghai, and we lost badly."
"The 700,000-strong army fought fiercely for a month, but in the end they still lost Shanghai, leaving millions of compatriots in Shanghai to suffer and wail under the iron heel of the Japanese invaders."
"Chiang Kai-shek was stubborn and short-sighted in his strategy, resulting in the needless sacrifice of 200,000 soldiers, and even nearly the complete annihilation of 500,000 soldiers."
"Next, the Japanese devils will never be satisfied with Shanghai. Their iron hooves will inevitably advance westward, heading straight for Nanjing."
Zhu Yong clenched his fist slightly.
Nanjing is the heart of China; its loss would have unimaginable consequences.
But he is currently overseas and powerless to reverse the situation.
However, he also had his own methods. Now that Chiang Kai-shek's constraints had disappeared on Japanese soil, he was his own king.
"No matter how many of my Chinese compatriots have died, I will make the Japanese pay tenfold or a hundredfold until they can no longer bear it and return to defend their homeland."
"Then the battlefield will be on the Japanese homeland. I will make them understand what it means to be completely engulfed in a people's war!"
"Tell all brothers, after landing, hold back. Our goal is not just to destroy this naval port, but to use this as a starting point to take root and grow within the enemy, making them nourishment for both of us!"
"I want you to expand our ranks to 100,000, 500,000, or even 1 million as quickly as possible!"
"Once we have a million men, even if all the Japanese army corps return to reinforce us, they will still be no match for us!"
The order was relayed swiftly and covertly.
The fleet began its final preparations, and the weapons and ammunition that could be taken were distributed to everyone.
As night slowly fell, the sea and sky were pitch black, with only the white spray left by the ships as they sailed. Under the cover of darkness, the aircraft carrier slowly approached the Bay of Japan.
Zhu Yong stood on the bare flight deck of the "Kaga", the sea breeze blowing through his slightly messy hair.
He took one last look at the west, the direction of his homeland, where his former compatriots lived, where the land he had fought and bled to protect was now engulfed in war, his compatriots were groaning, and his nation was suffering.
And all of this will begin to reverse today.
Looking back again, Zhu Yong's eyes held no lingering affection, only an unwavering determination to move forward.
"My journey begins here."
He muttered to himself, then suddenly turned around to face the clones gathered on the deck.
"Brothers, the Japanese capital is just ahead. We've come here today to tear out their hearts."
"We have no way back! Behind us lies the vast ocean, ahead lies a den of dragons and tigers! But we are fearless!"
"Our goal is to wipe out all the Japanese devils, to plunge them all into fear, and to let that fear begin in Yokosuka and sweep across the entire Japanese island!"
"Target: Yokosuka! Let's go!!"
