Chapter 16 The Fork in History

() "Baga, Baga, Baga Sinai" With the sound of cursing, Xia Haian announced that on the afternoon of the power-on day, the meeting room of the Japanese Navy Command heard the sound of things breaking from time to time, and the oppressive atmosphere was like a plague Pervading the entire headquarters, the officers who came and went lost the casualness and presumptuousness of the past, and all of them frowned and said nothing.

Minister of the Navy Minai Mitsumasa sat on the top and frowned, watching the hysterical attacks of the admirals below, and remained silent.

"Revenge, revenge, we must not let Oikawa and the others fall into the hands of the Chinese. We will send a fleet to bomb them, and the ships captured by the Chinese must be taken back."

"Don't believe the power of the Chinese people. They are best at lying. Oikawa and the others must be fighting bloody battles. We should send a fleet to help."

"Damn Chinese people, we must kill them all. They are only worthy of being the food of our big Japanese empire. Dig out their livers and make sashimi to eat."

"Yes, I ate the Chinese women's liver in Nanjing. It tastes much better than salmon. We should kill all the Chinese women we see, and then dig out their livers and give them to our Imperial Chinese women as pawn." food"

Seeing that the building discussed below was crooked, Mitsumasa Minai sat up straight and coughed twice. When everyone noticed his movement, they all sat up straight and stopped talking.

"Gentlemen, what we are discussing here is how to solve the problem of Oikawa's arrest. Let's not talk about other things. I said earlier that our navy should not participate in the actions of those idiots in the army. Now I order"

"Hi!" Everyone stood up and stood at attention.

"The Battle of Guangzhou needs to be brought forward. I have already talked with the Minister of War in the morning. The Battle of Guangzhou, originally scheduled for October, will start ahead of schedule. At the same time, we will attack Hainan Island and cut off the possible logistical support of the South China Sea Fleet.

Therefore, the participating fleets that were originally scheduled to start preparations in advance, no matter how much conflict you have with the Ministry of the Army, you must do your best to ensure the development of each battle this time, for the colleagues who died in the Puhai incident and Asaka Miya Hatohiko The prince takes revenge.

His Majesty the Emperor fainted when he heard the bad news this morning. We must avenge this revenge, so I ordered the ships on duty in the Yangzijiang River Basin to gather in Nanjing immediately, and then rebuild the Third Fleet and prepare to attack Puhai. "

"Hi"

"In addition, the details of the captured ships of the Third Fleet must be clarified. Does the Staff Headquarters have any details?"

"According to the investigation, the ships that have lost contact are the armored cruiser Izumo directly under the Third Fleet, the water aircraft carrier Notoro, the light cruiser Tenryu, the destroyer Urakaze, the gunboat Antaka, and the Seta of the First Expatriate Fleet. Gunboats Gunboat Hira, Gunboat Hozu, Gunboat Katada, light cruisers Abukuma and Yura of the 16rd Squadron, destroyers Asakaze and Matsukaze of the [-]th Destroyer Squadron, and other ships docked at Ura Harbor Contact with the armored cruiser Yakumo, the naval training ship, has also been lost."

"Baga, how did you lose so many ships in one night, this must be investigated, and the third department of the military order is ordered to investigate the incident"

"Hey, but we have received a notice from the Ministry of the Army that the communication of all the army units in the Puhai area has lost contact, and even the external radio contact in our bank and enterprise has also disappeared, so the Army Staff Headquarters suspects that the battle is not over. , but only interfered with wireless communications."

"We can't worry about this. The Ministry of the Army is responsible for the task of recapturing Puhai. The follow-up attack missions of our naval fleets will not be greatly changed. The South Branch of the Third Fleet will still maintain the original plan. This disaster is caused by the Ministry of the Army. Yes, the Ministry of the Army will take care of it, we just need to cooperate."

"Hi"

"In addition, inform the fleet commanders to pay attention to the daily vigilance of the fleet, and no more ships will be captured."

"Hi"

Minai Mitsumasa looked at the communication officer at the door, nodded, and then said

"That's the end of today's meeting. Everyone cheer me up. Don't slack off anymore. His Majesty the Emperor should wake up. I'm going to see him now. Everyone is busy with their own things. The meeting ends." After finishing speaking, he Stand up and walk to the door.

Just when inexplicable tension appeared in the air in Tokyo, Japan, a different scene appeared in Chang Kaishen's official residence in Wuhan during the Republic of China. the headmaster.

"Xiangyu, why did you suddenly come to look for me today?"

"Principal Jiang, can't I come and see you if it's okay?"

"Brother Xiangyu, who doesn't know that you Communist Party members have always been in the Three Treasures Hall for everything, so just say something."

"Since Principal Jiang said so, then I won't go around the bush. I would like to ask Principal Jiang to arrange for a few planes to arrive at Wangjiadun Airport tomorrow morning. Let's see if the Air Force can arrange to get off the runway."

"Oh, where did the plane come from? The Soviets?"

"It's the so-called South China Sea Fleet branch that just captured Puhai. They sent a telegram today asking our Party Central Committee to send someone to establish contact with them. We agreed, and the other party will send a plane to pick us up tomorrow morning. But the landing location needs to be Let's solve it, or I will trouble Principal Jiang."

"What, those rebellious traitors? Are they really members of your Labor Party? You must tell me, are you trying to overthrow the Kuomintang-Communist Cooperation Declaration? You are treason."

"Principal, don't be impatient. We are not familiar with each other. It's just that the other party unilaterally asked our Party Central Committee to contact them. It's a good thing for us to go and have a look. Not only you, but we are also confused about them. .

Since the other party is willing to contact us, we should also go and have a look. After all, the other party is also wholeheartedly fighting against the Japanese army. If we work hard, we may be able to let the other party join our anti-Japanese united front, right? "

"Is it really not one of yours?"

"No, we don't know who the other party is, so the Party Central Committee decided to let me go and have a look."

"Okay, I can arrange things at the airport, but I ask our people to follow along."

"Okay, the other party said, you can go to anyone you want, and you can bring up to 20 people."

"Well, I'll go to the airport tomorrow morning to see who the other party is."

After saying this, Zhou Xiangyu and his party took their leave and left Jiang Kaishen's mansion.

……

At 1938 o'clock in the morning on May 5, 23, at Puhai Hongqiao Airport, due to the large-scale self-unloading device, it took only one day for the logistics formation to re-hoist a large number of large transport aircraft parked on the deck of bulk ships to the pier by air express. Temporary airfield paved with dry cement.

Afterwards, the transport aircraft formation headed by Yun-20 and two air Jing-2 pre-jing aircraft passed through the transition, and finally chose Hongqiao Airport as the base of the formation, because at this time only Hongqiao Airport in Puhai City had a take-off runway of more than 3000 meters. , allowing the Y-3000 to take off with a full load of the maximum tonnage.

此时,编号20011的运20旁,第15集团军45师132团的一连长王德奎正在对着2排长石王轩进行着最后的交代。

"Shitou, today's mission is the first combat mission of our 15th Air Force Group Army, but today you are not going to shoot people, you are going to pick them up."

"Company commander, who is picking up, you can reveal it."

The company commander raised his hand and looked at his tactical watch, "Okay, you are leaving in 5 minutes, so I will tell you in advance, anyway, you will receive tactical arrangements when you get on the plane, today you are mainly picking up people, Among them are our Premier Zhou and his wife and Minister Li Zhenzhong, you must use your life to ensure their safety. Do you understand?"

"Prime Minister Zhou? That's great. I can finally see a real person. Company commander, don't worry, I promise to complete the mission." After speaking, the second platoon leader gave a serious military salute, and the company commander watched them run onto the plane after solemnly returning the salute. , two zbd03 airborne combat vehicles slowly drove into the cabin.

In the distance, two J-11s on the runway are already taking off, and they will go to the airport to form formation first. They will accompany Yun 20 to Wuhan as an escort aircraft, and then a Yunyou-8 will take off to refuel the escort formation in the air. Ensure the continuous escort force in the air.

"Old Xia, the plane to carry out the Great Man's Plan has already taken off. Do you think we will meet them here or on the Beiping?" Although it is not yet 5 o'clock and the sky outside has just turned white, the newly established The Fleet Headquarters was already brightly lit. In order to welcome the first meeting with the great man of the Republic, everyone got up early and started to arrange various matters.

"I think it's better to meet on the Beiping, and it's more convenient to talk about some things there, and it's also good to give them a deep impression."

"Okay, I will arrange for a helicopter to pick us up now. In addition, the Sixth Armored Division of the 38th Army reported that they have moved to the border of Taicang, Kunshan. The forward troops had a brief fire contact with the local Japanese puppet army, and the other party showed a situation of massing forces , The reconnaissance plane's reconnaissance results also show that the Japanese army in the Anhui border has stopped its westward trend, and it seems that Kaifeng will not fall. Are we saving Jiang Guangtou's life?"

"Hehe, it's good to reduce the losses of the Chinese people. It seems that Huayuankou will not break through, but our pressure will increase in the future. The tactical arrangements of each group army must keep up. The recent work is mainly concentrated in the Puhai area. As for the organization of the organization and the construction of the logistics bases, each group army can slow down a little bit, let Ri himself concentrate, and we can do it all."

"Okay, I will arrange this. In addition, I think we should expand our armed forces as soon as possible. The soldiers of this era also need to start recruiting."

"Well, we can prepare for this. It is best to directly arm the New Fourth Army that is relatively close to us. That can also solve the problem of our current command staff gap. The construction of the military academy is also on the agenda."

"Well, okay, let's go, let's go down and wait for the helicopter."
