Chapter 454: The Japanese carrier-based aircraft group is here again
454 The Japanese carrier-based aircraft group is here again
The battle was over in just half a day, which was very fast.
This is basically what Zhou Xinghai expected.
“Leave one battalion to clean up the battlefield and guard the arsenal.
The other regiments immediately marched towards Wenzhou.
We will try to reach Wenzhou tomorrow morning."
Zhou Xinghai did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately ordered the four militia regiments to set out.
What he was afraid of was not the loss of Wenzhou City.
With the five new recruits brought by the chief of staff, even if they could not defeat another regiment of the Japanese.
However, there is absolutely no problem in holding it back.
What Zhou Xinghai was worried about was that the commander of another Japanese regiment in Wenzhou would notice something was wrong and run away.
"Notify the heavy artillery regiment and rocket artillery regiment and have them move toward Wenzhou as well."
So, Zhou Xinghai, who had just annihilated the Japanese 233rd Regiment, led his troops to Wenzhou in a hurry.
At this time, the battle in Wenzhou City was indeed similar to what Zhou Xinghai had imagined.
The regiment defending Wenzhou City deliberately showed weakness to the Japanese.
The Japanese brigade commander, Takano Atsuo, was unaware that anything was wrong.
Even before the Chief of Staff led five regiments of new recruits to Wenzhou, they had already entered the city.
However, by the afternoon of the 5th.
However, Takano Atsuo discovered that they could not contact the 233rd Regiment heading west.
"Baka, what is Fujita doing? Why isn't the radio on?"
Atsuo Takano was very angry.
Originally, according to their planned schedule, it was after noon today.
The 233rd Regiment led by Fujita should have reached Ye Qingshan’s arsenal and launched an attack on the arsenal.
By this time, the battle should have been over.
Colonel Fujita should have told him the good news.
But now, not only did the other party not report the good news, but even the radio station could not be contacted.
This is very abnormal.
However, although I noticed something abnormal.
But at this time, the Japanese brigade commander Takano Atsugu still did not think about the 233rd Regiment being completely wiped out.
They just thought that there was a problem with the radio station of the 233rd Squadron.
"Keep calling, send another team to contact the 233rd Squadron."
Takano Atsuo gave the order.
At the same time, he was still cautious and continued, "Contact those idiots in the navy and ask them to send a reconnaissance plane to the west.
Help us check if Ye Qingshan's arsenal has been destroyed."
Soon, on the Japanese aircraft carrier Akagi at sea, the commander of the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet, Rear Admiral Naoto Hiraguchi, received a request from Atsuo Takano.
"Captain, do you agree to General Kono's request?"
A Japanese officer asked.
"Baga, these army idiots are all good at causing trouble instead of helping others.
The order given to us by the base camp was only to escort them.
But they didn’t ask us to help them fight.”
Naoto Hiraguchi was somewhat unhappy with Takano Atsuo's request.
"General, calm down. This time, our Navy Department and the Army Department have finally reached a cooperation agreement.
This time, Mr. Kono and his men destroyed Ye Qingshan's base, which is also what His Majesty and the headquarters want to see.
It would be no big deal to send a reconnaissance plane to do some reconnaissance for them.
It is not advisable to offend Koya-kun because of this.
After all, his brother-in-law is the commander-in-chief of the West End, and we need to have a good relationship with him."
The Japanese first mate next to him hurried over to persuade the Japanese captain.
After hearing the first mate's persuasion, the Japanese captain Naoto Hiraguchi also fell silent.
He admitted that his first mate was right.
In order to carry out the Empire's plan to move south, both the Japanese Emperor and the top brass at the headquarters are trying their best to eliminate the conflicts between their navy and army.
After all, the combat operations heading south to Southeast Asia require the concerted efforts of their navy and army.
In addition, standing behind Takano Atsuo was Army General Nishio Hisazo.
To offend Takano Atsuo is to offend Nishio Toshizo.
Even though they are naval generals, they may still be targeted.
“Forget it, since Takano Atsuo has personally sent a telegram requesting our tactical guidance, let’s give Admiral Nishio the honor.
Let our reconnaissance planes go out to see if Ye Qingshan’s arsenal has been destroyed.”
Hiraguchi Naoto finally agreed and said.
"Hi!"
A Japanese major responded and was about to convey the order.
"and many more."
As a result, he was stopped by the Japanese first mate.
The Japanese first mate looked at Hiraguchi Naoto and continued, “Hiraguchi-kun, this is Ye Qingshan’s territory.
Don't forget that Ye Qingshan has an aviation team.
Moreover, based on the intelligence from the Special High Section, Ye Qingshan bought and built a radar station from the Americans.
If our reconnaissance plane passes over, it will most likely be discovered by the Chinese.
If they send out fighter jets to intercept our reconnaissance plane, our reconnaissance plane will be in danger.
So, let's have the fighter jets take off as well."
"Hey, Miyazaki-kun, you have a point.
Then let our fighter jets take off together."
At this point, Hiraguchi Naoto suddenly thought of something and continued, "Tell our reconnaissance plane pilot.
It would be best if they could find Ye Qingshan’s air force airport on land.”
"Hiraguchi-kun, you want to..."
"Yoshi, yes, Miyazaki-kun, it's just what you think.
If our reconnaissance aircraft can find Ye Qingshan’s aviation team airport.
We can just send out bombers to blow it up.
In this battle, why should only their army be allowed to make contributions? Our navy can also have a piece of meat."
There was a gleam in Naoto Hiraguchi's eyes, and he thought this was a good idea.
"But……"
The Japanese first mate frowned. He wanted to ask Commander Yamamoto for instructions.
The attack on Ye Qingshan’s base was the army’s mission, and their fleet was only responsible for escort and assistance.
Hiraguchi Naoto knew what his first mate was going to say, so he interrupted him and said, “Let’s kill him first and report to him later.
It's too late to ask for instructions.
As long as we can destroy Ye Qingshan's air force airport, Commander Yamamoto will not be able to punish us."
Seeing that Hiraguchi Naoto had made up his mind, the Japanese first mate had nothing to say.
After all, Hiraguchi Naoto was the fleet commander.
At this time, the bad habit of "overthrowing the superiors with the inferiors" that was common among the Japanese army was again displayed by Hiraguchi Naoto.
They definitely work first and report later.
Not long after, two Japanese reconnaissance planes and more than twenty Type 97 carrier-based fighters took off from the deck of the Akagi aircraft carrier.
Flying inland.
It happened just when the Japanese aircraft group had just approached the coast.
At Jinxi Airport, Meng Jifei received an urgent message from the Bailongshan Radar Station.
We knew that there was a group of Japanese carrier-based aircraft coming from the east sea.
"It's really here."
When Meng Jifei got the news, his eyes turned cold.
Although Ye Qingshan had reminded them before that they did not need to support the front-line operations in the next few days.
The carrier-based aircraft group of the Japanese naval fleet in key areas.
But since the Japanese landing troops landed yesterday, there has been no sighting of the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet at sea sending out carrier-based aircraft.
Meng Jifei thought that the Japanese navy's aircraft carrier fleet was not planning to participate in the war this time.
Unexpectedly, it came anyway.
"At the same time, all pilots, assemble urgently.
All fighters, refuel and load, prepare for takeoff."
Meng Jifei continued to issue orders.
"If the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group still dares to come, then let them all stay!"
