Chapter 390
This information played a decisive role.
As early as October, when it proposed to use the surrender ceremony of the Navy in Navy to lure the Newland Navy to take action, Bai Zhizhan also mentioned that the Navy was not targeting the Imperial Navy's warships, but people who went to participate in the surrender ceremony, so there was no need to let the fleet get too close to the Navy's homeland. If it was carrying medium bombers, the Newland Fleet could launch an attack more than 1,000 kilometers away.
In order to prove this inference, the Imperial Navy also conducted special tests, and the Sixth Bureau also provided great help.
The first thing is to prove that the dual-engine medium bomber can take off on an aircraft carrier under a specific situation, but it is impossible to land on the aircraft carrier.
On the last day of October, the Imperial Navy conducted a takeoff test on the "Paijing" with a Type 96 land attack provided by the Nishisayi regime.
The results prove that the weight of the bomber is appropriately reduced and the aircraft carrier can sail against the wind at a speed of 30 knots, and the Type 96 land attack can easily rise from the aircraft carrier. If God is good, such as hanging a strong wind, it can even allow the Type 96 land attack to take off at its maximum weight.
The B-25 "Mitchell" of Newland Federation is similar to the Type 96 land attack. Although it is almost twice as heavy, it is equipped with better engines. Judging from the takeoff from the Type 96 land attack, the B-25 can fully take off from the "Entertainment".
It is basically impossible to take off from a small fleet aircraft carrier.
The reason is also very simple. The flight deck of the small fleet aircraft carrier is too short and the speed is slow, which may not allow the B-25 to obtain sufficient liftoff speed.
It is precisely this that the Sixth Bureau proposed to monitor the mobilization and deployment of the B-25, determine whether the Newland Navy intends to allow the aircraft carrier to carry medium-sized bombers to perform long-range strike missions, and thus prove whether the judgment made by Baizhizhan is correct and whether it is necessary to take action.
As a result, after the more than 10 B-25s disappeared from the Ford Island Air Station in Zhenbao Port, Xue Yuanzheng immediately approved the combat plan submitted by Baizhi Zhan.
It was only that day that Liu Changxun took a transport plane to Naqiu Port, and then transferred to the patrol plane to the "Longxing".
Everything went smoothly, almost all of which were expected by Bai Zhizhan.
Although Bai Zhizhan has always predicted things in the previous few battles and many speculations have proved to be right, Liu Changxun is still a little worried.
This went too smoothly!
It seems that Bai Zhizhan is the director of this farce, including the soldiers of the Newland Navy, and everyone is performing according to his command.
But, what's the use of worrying?
When Liu Changxun saw the land in front of the left, he put away his thoughts.
It is the Yamapu Peninsula on the left side of the entrance to Dongdu Bay. A little further inside is the former home port of the Nai Navy, Hengxuhuo Naval Base, and the Henbin Port to the north. The surrender ceremony was held there, to be precise, the deep-water anchorage area of Henbin Port.
At the beginning, Xue Yuanzheng planned to arrange the signing location on the shore.
The reason is that retreat and evacuation are more convenient.
After weighing the pros and cons, I decided to put them on the warship. After all, it is a question whether the bombers of the Newland Navy can fly over Dongdu Bay.
Afterwards, Peng Huaisheng proposed to let the "Longxing" stop next to the wharf.
Unfortunately, it was rejected.
It’s not that this proposal is meaningless, but that it cannot be done.
A few months ago, Henbin Port was bombed into ruins, and all the deep water docks were burned down. There was no reason to repair a dock for the signing ceremony.
The key is that there is not so much time.
Of course, the Navy made a huge concession.
Representing the Imperial Army, the first person to sign the surrender letter of the Nayi Empire was the Army Commander-in-Chief Peng Huaisheng, and Liu Changxun only signed on behalf of the Imperial Navy.
Liu Changxun himself has no objection.
It is not that the army has made the greatest contribution, but that it stayed and occupied, and the army was stationed in the Nai Empire, and the Navy was only responsible for a few military ports.
To be honest, this is a big advantage.
Since you have chosen the cheap, don’t behave well.
In Peng Huaisheng's words, the job of hard work and unpleasantness was thrown to the army, but the poor and poor people who had good fortune were exclusive to the navy. Xue Yuanzheng was too partial!
Xue Yuanzheng clearly told Peng Huaisheng and Liu Changxun that the war was far from over.
The implication is that when an enemy country is defeated, it is the navy's turn to do things that are not thankful and leave the oil and water to the army.
As expected, it should be Newland Federation.
If Liu Changxun wanted to choose, he would definitely be willing to sign the surrender letter of Newland in a few years, on behalf of the imperial military.
After staying for a few more minutes, Liu Changxun returned to the commander's bridge when he could clearly see the lighthouse at the tip of the peninsula.
It was the first lighthouse of the Nayi Empire and was built by Chen Bingxun.
In the Nayi Empire, it is called the "National Shame Tower".
At this time, thousands of kilometers southeast of the southeast were on the "Accompanying Beijing".
After breakfast, Bai Zhizhan went to various departments for a walk, so when he returned to the Commander's Bridge, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning.
Not to mention, except for the severe damage in the "Imperial Capital" last month and returning to the empire with the "Caijing" to the mainland, Bai Zhizhan has never been to this aircraft carrier.
Even last month, Bai Zhizhan only lived in the commander's cabin at the commander's bridge and did not go anywhere else.
Of course, the officers and soldiers on the "Accompanying Beijing" must have known Bai Zhizhan.
However, Bai Zhizhan could not recognize the officers and soldiers of this aircraft carrier.
Even the officers on the "Imperial Capital" were only aware of the ones they often encountered, and most of the officers still looked very strange.
For this reason, Bai Zhizhan often mocked himself for not being the commander.
Since leaving the port, Bai Zhizhan has to go around each department every day. It is not to hurry up and get to know the main officers and soldiers of each department, but to use this action to tell the officers and soldiers on this aircraft carrier that the upcoming battle is very critical and everyone has to cheer up.
In this regard, Li Mingbo and Zhou Yongtao felt that it was completely unnecessary.
Even Shenpu and Zhu Huasheng felt that they should have chosen the "Longjiang" as their flagship at the beginning.
In any case, the "Longjiang" was originally the flagship of Bai Zhizhan. There were all old acquaintances there, and most of the officers and soldiers were fans of Bai Zhizhan.
Why not choose the "Longjiang"?
The reason given by Bai Zhizhan was that after the repair, the aircraft carrier was not tested according to the standards, and there must be many safety hazards.
In fact, he didn't want to make a fuss with Liu Xiangzhen.
The key is that after the operation is over, the "Longjiang" will have to return to the 21st Special Mixed Fleet, which means it will be returned to Liu Xiangzhen.
If Bai Zhizhan used the "Longjiang" as his mothership, he would do his best.
As the saying goes, look down and see each other without looking up.
Being under the same roof, there is no need to make a fuss so that there is no room for meeting.
Besides, according to the arrangements of the Navy Command, when the "Imperial Capital" is restored, three aircraft carriers built and put into service before the war will be formed together to form a three-aircraft carrier special-mix fleet. At that time, the other four large aircraft carriers will form two special-mix fleets. If Bai Zhizhan occupied the "Longjiang", then the probability of commanding the three-aircraft carrier special-mix fleet next year will be greater, so don't expect to settle down on the large aircraft carrier.
Of course, Bai Zhizhan didn't have so much thought.
In his words, the commander bridge of the "Accompanying Beijing" was more spacious. He had long been used to it, and he might not be able to adapt to it when he returned to the "Longjiang".
