Chapter 250 Aircraft carrier dispatched
Chapter 250: The aircraft carrier is dispatched
At this time, it had been two and a half days since the Japanese First Fleet was attacked in the East China Sea. Most of the Japanese fleets did not return to the port at night, but instead went to the northwest Maizuru Port for resupply, maintaining a high level of combat readiness, and ready to deploy on a large scale at any time. {Please
remember}
The northern part of the Sea of Japan has exceeded the combat radius of the Jin-Zhi aircraft. Except for the aircraft carrier, Jin-Zhi aircraft cannot carry out long-range bombing of the joint fleet. The aircraft carrier's going to sea will inevitably lead to large-scale naval battles of the joint fleet, because Japan and Russia dare not wait any longer. Their strategy is to launch a decisive battle at one time and will never delay it. This will only allow Jin-Zhi to slowly consume their warships.
At this time, the British and French joint fleets located in Southeast Asia, Singapore and other places did not dare to go north. If the Japanese and Russian fleets did not attack, they would definitely not dare to move around.
On October 11, the battle in Shandong was over and the weather was clear. On the Yellow Sea, several civilian ships were busy sailing around the waters near the Tsushima Strait between Japan and North Korea, but they were not ordinary merchant ships, but ships specially appointed by Li Tiancheng to conduct weather detection.
At this time, the Japanese warships were no longer visible at the southern end of the Tsuma Strait, and they all retreated into the Japanese sea, so the four civilian ships did not encounter any obstacles under the escort of the Jin-Zhu submarine force. With the help of submarines and reconnaissance aircraft, they went deep into the Tsuma Strait and entered the southern end of the Japanese Sea, but this was already the limit of distance, because a large number of Japanese warships blocked the estuary of the Japanese Sea, preventing the Jin-Zhu ship from entering the Japanese Sea, and Jin-Zhu's reconnaissance aircraft found that the Japanese-Russian joint fleet was on standby in the southern part of the Japanese Sea. The rows of Japanese and Russian ships on the water were arranged neatly, and they were all fighting formations. They were ready to break out of the Tsuma Strait at any time and launch a decisive battle with the Jin-Zhu aircraft carrier fleet.
Staff use hygrometers and other equipment to collect these meteorological data on the sea surface, and then begin to calculate and analyze marine climate changes and predict weather in recent days.
Several staff members were holding paper and pen on a boat, quickly calculating various data, and using basic formulas to substitute the data to calculate the results.
"It's great, the humidity has met the requirements, the height and thickness of the clouds meet the requirements, and finally I found this sea area." A tall young man wearing glasses suddenly exclaimed.
"I'll do it, let's see." The other people put down their work and ran over excitedly.
“Yes, yes, that’s the sea area we are looking for. {Update
Fastest and stable}”
"It is estimated that there will be heavy fog between 126 degrees and 135 degrees east longitude tomorrow morning, and between 32 degrees and 36 degrees north latitude. The fogging area is expected to reach more than 1,000 square kilometers. The fogging area will likely cover the entire Tsubasa Strait and southern Japan."
"It's great, report to the Ministry of Defense right away."
The phone on Li Tiancheng's desk had already rang, it was a call from the Ministry of National Defense.
"Okay, okay, I understand. If heavy fog falls into this sea area tomorrow morning, we will follow the original plan." Li Tiancheng was very happy after receiving the weather forecast.
In the past few days, Li Tiancheng has been ordering meteorological staff to look for possible large-scale foggy weather on the sea surface. Finally, he found such a sea area at the junction of the northern end of the Yellow Sea and the Japanese Sea. Although this sea area is not near the port of the Donghai Zhen* base, it also meets the combat plan requirements formulated by Li Tiancheng.
"Help me get the phone number of Sa Zhenbing." Li Tiancheng quickly dialed the extension number responsible for picking up the outside line of the Presidential Office.
"Okay, President Li, please wait," a gentle female voice responded.
After a while, the other end of the phone rang out again.
"Hey, hello, is it President Li? I am Sa Zhenbing?" Sa Zhenbing was in charge of command in Shanghai. When he received a call from Li Tiancheng, he seemed to have guessed something.
"Comrade Sa, I have ordered someone to send you a document with a password radio station. You can take a look, and then work according to the plan we have planned. It is not convenient for me to say more on the phone." Li Tiancheng didn't say much and reminded him.
Sa Zhenbing naturally understood what he meant and responded, "Okay, President Li, I understand."
To keep it confidential, Li Tiancheng did not explain in detail on the phone. He just wanted to tell Sa Zhenbing as soon as possible so that he could be prepared.
Li Tiancheng then began to convene important officials of the Ministry of National Defense, hold a military meeting, and deploy major actions tomorrow.
After receiving the mission, Li Guoqiang slept for a long afternoon during the day yesterday. He woke up at five o'clock in the evening. He was sleepy and cheered up. After washing, he finished his supper under the service of his gentle wife, and then hurried out.
The sky gradually became darker, the fleet headquarters was already brightly lit, the staff were already in place, and the correspondent was nervously contacting the various troops.
"Hello Commander Li." The guards at the door saw Li Guoqiang and several guards walking to the gate of the headquarters building and immediately saluted.
Li Guoqiang hurried into the door, walked to the office on the third floor, cleaned up a few documents on the table, and made some necessary preparations. The clock hand gradually pointed to the six o'clock position. Li Guoqiang slowly walked out of the corridor and hurried towards the communication room.
"Hello Commander Li." After Li Guoqiang entered, several communication soldiers immediately stood up.
"You guys are busy, don't get up, have you received the message?"
"The report commander, just received a message from Commander Sa, and he ordered the Second Fleet to rush to the designated sea area on the East China Sea, form a joint fleet with the First Fleet and the Third Fleet, and then head towards the planned sea area." The communications soldier reported strongly.
"Okay, keep in touch." Li Guoqiang's heart suddenly became beating faster. He turned around and quickly left the communication room, returned to the office, began to contact his subordinate officers and issued combat orders.
The military port at dusk was already dark. At the Changxing Island Military Port Terminal, ten kilometers southeast of Changxing Island Shipyard, the Shenzhou aircraft carrier of the Second Fleet has been anchored and is preheating the steam turbine. After more than ten minutes, it can leave the port and set sail. The remaining warships and submarines anchored around are doing the final preparations. The soldiers have already boarded the ship one after another. The communication soldiers on the ship are busy communicating with brothers and departments. The communications between the three major fleets have become dense.
"Dongguai, Dongguai, I am Dongyi, I am Dongyi, we have already dispatched and are rushing to the predetermined location."
"I received it, received it, and I received it, and we have taken action, and we have taken action..."
....
The captain of the Shenzhou, Bai Yanjun, was drinking morning tea in the aircraft carrier command room, holding a navigation map in his hand, and slowly sliding across the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea waters on the map, and was studying it carefully.
The phone on Bai Yanjun's desk, who was reading the map, rang: "Report to the captain, everything is ready, can you set sail?"
"Start immediately" Bai Yanjun issued an order to set off.
Several engines of the Shenzhou were rumbling and began to turn slowly, leaving the port waveproof wall and heading towards the sea in the distance. Four destroyers and submarines had left the port, and the supply ships and command ships had also left the port.
Fifty planes parked neatly on the deck shone with dazzling light in the luminous light, and relevant personnel were also doing preparations. The pilots were on standby and ready to go. All departments were ready to take action at any time as soon as they received the order. Staff wearing various costumes on the deck were shuttled through the crowd, each busy with their own affairs.
At around 7 o'clock in the evening, the three fleets completed the assembly on the East China Sea 50 kilometers east of Shanghai. Hu Zhengjie, commander of the Third aircraft carrier fleet, and Luo Liyuan, commander of the First Fleet, have led the team from Ningbo and Taizhou to the predetermined waters respectively.
Sa Zhen was on the command ship of the Second Fleet and commanded the same ship as Li Guoqiang. He personally served as the commander of the joint fleet.
"How is the sea surface?" Sa Zhenbing and Li Guoqiang were communicating with their brother departments in the command room.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, the heavy fog in southern Japan's Hainan is getting thicker and thicker, and the area of the fogging area is gradually expanding."
"Okay, continue to monitor closely and report information in a timely manner."
Sa Zhenbing held his chin with one hand and began to pace back and forth in the brightly lit command room. The expression on his face was quite complicated, and there was a hint of tension in his excitement.
"The Navy has been established for three years. From the initial twenty small gunboats to the huge warship group, I feel very pleased," Sa Zhenbing said meaningfully.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, think about the Beiyang Navy back then, it was not as powerful as one-third of ours. After twenty years of weakening, our country's navy finally regained its mighty power." Li Guoqiang nodded slightly and said with pride.
"The shame that the Beiyang Navy gave to the Japanese was still vivid in my mind, leaving an indelible mark on every descendant of China. Now our Chinese Navy is about to fight the Japanese again. The significance of this battle is of great significance." Sa Zhenbing couldn't calm down his passionate heart and continued to sigh.
"If you cannot win the entire battle against the Japanese in this battle, you must strive to cause heavy damage to them, and the following battle will be easy to fight." Li Guoqiang nodded slightly and said.
"I wonder if the Japanese will cross the fog area and go south to fight our army to fight a decisive battle. If they are not deceived, our army will face more than 300 Japanese and Russian warships in one fell swoop. Once the fighter plane runs out of ammunition and is broken through the defense line of the aircraft carrier battle group by the enemy, he will only be chased by the enemy?" Sa Zhenbing still had some hidden worries in his heart.
Although the three Zhen* fleets have two aircraft carriers, one hundred fighter jets, more than a dozen destroyers of 4,000 tons or above, and twelve Tang-class submarines, with advanced weapons performance, they lost significantly to the Japanese and Russian coalition forces in terms of quantity.
The tactics of the Japanese and Russian coalition forces may be very simple. They may all be dispatched from the beginning to fight against Zhen* to consume Zhen*'s ammunition and use the surviving ships to pursue Zhen* aircraft carriers...
