Chapter 115: Return to Hangzhou
After being bombed, there were fragments of floating objects floating everywhere on the sea, and a large number of Japanese sailors were swimming hard in the sea.
These floating objects seem to describe the tragic fate of the Japanese Third Fleet.
After the bomber that took off for the second time chased the rest of the Japanese destroyers, Laizhou Bay gradually calmed down. Although the bomber that took off for the second time tried its best to chase, the Japanese destroyers still ran away a lot. The escape of the Japanese destroyer proved to be the biggest mistake in commanding the bombing.
According to the plan, the second takeoff could still chase Japanese warships, but the speed of the destroyers was significantly higher than that of the Knife Festival, and some even reached the Stone Festival.
On the contrary, those large warships are slower and more likely to hit.
If the bombing was directed at the small Japanese warships at the beginning, it would be very likely that the Japanese third fleet would be wiped out in Laizhou Bay.
The main reason for this command error was the lack of understanding of the bombing effect by the General Staff. It was obvious that the Air Force's performance exceeded everyone's expectations.
In the General Staff, when the news came that the five-wave bombing squadron had severely damaged the Japanese main warships, everyone felt incredible.
Even Xia Jun felt a little surprised.
Japan.
The Japanese Navy received bad news again.
"His Excellency Prime Minister, our third fleet was bombed by the Chinese Air Force in Laizhou Bay and was almost wiped out. Only six destroyers and some torpedo boats escaped." Japanese Misato reported to Yamamoto Kobee in grief.
Yamamoto Honbui was born in a navy. When Ma was shocked when he heard the news, he asked, "How could this happen?"
"The Chinese Air Force is too strong and they have too many bombers. We have no air defense means. The Fusang was sunk, and the Hiei and other warships sank in Laizhou Bay."
"Damn it, the Fusang and Hiei have sunk too? What should I do now?" Yamamoto Honbuki cursed and asked for advice from Saito Mi.
"The Bishizhan is self-sinking. The telegram sent back before the Fusang sinks said that the hull was also too damaged. If our Imperial Japanese Army of the Great Dragon defeated the Zhizhan man on the Shandong battlefield and destroyed their airport, then we can regain control of the sea control of the Bohai Sea, and then salvage the Fuji and Hiei. The possibility of repair is very high." Saito Mi lowered her head and said.
"This has to be discussed with the army." Yamamoto Honbuki said with a frown.
The navy was defeated again, and the army would obviously despise the navy even more. However, for Japan, Japan is an island country. If the army wants to be strong, it must be inseparable from the strength of the navy. The army still understands this.
But now we can only count on the Army.
The Chinese Air Force obviously has a strong attack on coastal ships. If the Chinar was not destroyed, the airport arranged by the Chinar was placed in Shandong, the sea control of the Great Japanese Empire would be lost.
The Japanese Army Department soon received news that Yama Prefecture Arito, Kashitaro and others rushed over, and they questioned whether the navy could guarantee the sea power to allow the army to land in Shandong.
This question makes it difficult for the Japanese Navy to answer B
If the sector uses the air force to block the Japanese landing site, it will be difficult for the Japanese army to continue to reinforce Shandong.
However, if the army does not continue to support Shandong, it will obviously be impossible to defeat the Zhizhun with its current strength. As a result, the Japanese Army's failure on the Shandong battlefield is basically the same as the failure of the Japanese Army, which also means that the Navy's Fusang, may fall into the hands of the Chinese Navy, the two most advanced warships, the Trembo.
The Japanese Navy asked about the failure of the Japanese Army in Shandong, saying that without the failure of the Army, it would not have led to the Navy being bombed by the Chinese Air Force.
This rhetorical question made both sides quarrel.
"Just listen to me, please calm down. Now is not the time to argue, but an important stage for determining the international status of the Japanese Empire." Yamamoto Honbuki hurriedly stopped the quarrel between the two sides. As the prime minister, he could not favor the navy too much, let alone stand on the side of the army.
"At present, our primary task is to protect the army's advantages in Shandong and reinforce Shandong. Although the Chinese Air Force can bomb the Yangcai warships, their bombing capabilities at night should not be strong. We will transport troops to Shandong at night." Yamamoto Honbuki continued.
The army's emotions stabilized, and Yupeng of Shanxian said: "As long as the navy can protect the troops and materials to land in Shandong smoothly, everything is not a problem."
"If the Army has this confidence, we can feel at ease."
"Hayi, our army will live up to its expectations."
On the lunar month, Germany retreated from the front line, and World War I officially entered a stalemate stage of trench warfare.
On the same day, the East China Air Force bombed the Japanese Third Fleet and wiped out the main warships of the Japanese Third Fleet. These three news shocked the world.
Since the East China Air Force bombed the Japanese army in Yafang, it has once again shown great power, making countries around the world realize the importance of bombers.
The news reached various provinces, and intellectuals from all provinces were in full swing. The seven East China Autonomous Provinces celebrated one after another. Through two victories, the people of all provinces developed strong confidence. The East China Autonomous Political Prefecture will surely win this war.
Li Shijing received the latest money report in Hangzhou and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xia Jun personally ran to Shandong to command, which made Li Shijing very worried and felt much relieved at this time. The Japanese army was obviously not a match for his husband.
The daily operation of the seven East China Autonomous Provinces is still very smooth. The things Xia Jun had managed before were basically taken over by Li Shijing, and the following obviously respects the Chairman's wife.
In the past, Xia Jun would basically discuss with Li Shijing about any actions he had. Li Shijing was also good at dealing with various things.
The aftermath of the Shandong battlefield was also carried out quickly under the auspices of Li Shijing.
After all, when the East China Army and the Japanese army fought in Shandong, they destroyed a lot of crops, which also required the East China Autonomous Government to compensate the farmers who suffered losses.
At the same time, countries around the world also know that the East China Air Force has the world's most advanced bombers. In addition to the heavy hammers that are being sold, there are two types of bombers: heavy hammers and heavy hammer fields.
On the European battlefield, the bombers invested by the German army were exactly the heavy hammers used by the East China Air Force, which made Britain, France and other countries feel very upset.
British ambassador Juerdian asked to meet with Xia Jun to discuss the bomber order.
Li Shijing had no choice but to call Shandong. After the phone was made, Li Shijing said, "Master, I miss you."
"Haha!" Xia Jun laughed heartily after hearing Li Shijing's words and said, "Madam, wait a few days, I'll be back now."
"Don't you stop commanding on the front line?" Li Shijing asked in surprise.
"There is basically no suspense in the war, and I don't need to be in charge on the front line anymore." Xia Jun replied with a smile, obviously in a good mood, and Xia Jun was in a good mood naturally.
The destruction of the Japanese Third Fleet contributed him more than 100,000 tons of water displacement points. This time the Japanese Navy was really seriously injured.
Those old-fashioned warships are nothing, the problem is that the Fuso and Bishi, which had just been launched, were sunk, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Japanese Navy.
The cost of these two warships is 30 million yuan, which is definitely no less than 70 million yuan in total.
The problem is that these two warships still sank near the sea, which means that the East China Autonomous Government can salvage these two warships.
Making two advanced warships in vain naturally made Xia Jun feel very happy.
However, salvage cannot be carried out for the time being. After all, the floating dock has to be dragged from the sea to Laizhou Bay, and it may be sunk by the Japanese army on the way.
Therefore, the salvage work must be carried out after the war.
The little Japanese could not read his palms anymore, so Xia Jun had no worries about this. Therefore, Xia Jun still planned to return to Hangzhou to preside over the overall situation. After all, in this world war, the most important thing was economic development.
After all, the most important thing is to develop the economy. Not only will the country have a strong economy as a backing, but the people's lives will also get better and better.
As for the front-line operations, Xia Jun will be almost ready to ensure the logistics supply on the front-line after returning to Hangzhou. If the war is in a tight position, he can organize a new army to join the battlefield.
The command of the front line was handed over to Chen Xuanyu. Chen Xuanyu was a sensible person. He never stole the limelight from the chairman, and he was not very greedy for merit.
This is also the reason why Chen Xuanyu can firmly sit in the second place in the Army.
Xia Jun did not stir up internal struggles at this time. The East China Army is now very united, and the thoughts among officers at all levels are relatively active.
Within the East China Army, political persecution does not exist. Everything is governed by military law, and everything is decided by the military court, and the military court will not do anything randomly.
It is impossible to rebel. In addition, grassroots officers and soldiers are loyal to Xia Jun, and anyone who wants to rebel lacks a mass base.
Those officers were sitting in a chariot heading towards glory, and Xia Jun was the one who controlled the steering wheel, and no one was too stupid to oppose Xia Jun.
As for the kind of separatist sect, the officers under the East China Army couldn't even see it. Although they could not control one side, compared with the Beiyang warlords, the future of those Beiyang warlords was completely different.
Because of the glory they earn! In their hearts, this is eternal.
In contrast, those Beiyang warlords will only leave their reputations.
Besides, the quality of life is not comparable to the officers of East China. The officers of East China have sufficient military pay and their lives are basically worry-free.
Maybe they are not as wealthy as the Beiyang warlords, but they can enjoy a better life because there is a material foundation under the rule of the East China Autonomous Government, while the Beiyang warlords do not, and there is no social atmosphere in the East China region.
All the officers in East China have the dream of building eternal achievements and have completely separated themselves from the ideal level of blessings and blessings for descendants.
Blessings and descendants are not what they need to think about, and life is not what they need to think about.
They followed the dream country established by the Chairman, and their future for their descendants was not required to worry about, and the problem was only whether their descendants worked hard enough.
At the same time, the chairman will solve their life problems for them, and they just need to keep moving forward. In such a general environment, there is basically no internal strife in the East China Army. Most of the internal affairs are talked about, and the arrangement is very transparent and can basically understand each other. Whether Xia Jun is on the front line or not is no problem, and it is not a problem to let anyone command.
