Chapter 1462 Definition of Yamada
Once, Toshiichiro Koizumi said to Yamamoto 56: The empire does not lack brave and skilled naval officers, but your Excellency, if we want to fight against the behemoth of the United States, our existing officer reserve is far from enough.

This is also what Yamamoto 56 is worried about. In this combat operation, he used a large number of middle and low-level officers as front-line commanders and gave them considerable power.

The combined fleet of the Japanese Navy was unlucky in the past. First, the "Akagi" and "Hyryu" aircraft carriers were bombed and sunk during the "Sink It" operation of the Xuebing Army, and then the "Kaga" aircraft carrier suffered huge damage during the Nagasaki Incident. , So this time to participate in the sea-land joint operation, the combined fleet had to take out the "Fengxiang", which already belonged to the old lady class in the aircraft carrier, to participate in the battle, and then barely made up three aircraft carrier fleets.

No matter in terms of displacement or aircraft capacity, the "Cangryu" aircraft carrier is the backbone of the combined fleet. For this reason, it is not difficult to understand that the new captain of the "Soryu", Yamada Yoshinobu, is in high spirits.Prior to this, the Japanese army, whether it was Army Aviation or Hainan Airlines, had no examples of participating in battle at night. However, this will not affect the ambition defined by Yamada.Yamada defined that His Excellency Yamamoto is promoting and appointing capable young and middle-aged officers on a large scale, and this joint sea-land operation is his chance to stand out.When Matsui Iwane asked him for help as a lieutenant general, hoping to get fire support from the Canglong aircraft carrier fleet in tonight's operation, he agreed without thinking.During this period of time, the performance of the Canglong aircraft carrier fleet was excellent. Not only did it complete the air strike mission assigned to him by Yamamoto 56 with quality and quantity, but it also did not lose the slightest advantage in the confrontation with the Xuebing Army Air Force.Because there are radars to provide early warning, Yamada Definition led the Canglong aircraft carrier fleet to cruise along the coasts of Guangdong and Fujian. Like a ghost, he repeatedly bombed and airstrikes the coastal military sites of these two provinces. The color-changing devil.Just a few days before Matsui Iwane sent a telegram, Yamada Mori had just discussed with his staff officers the idea of ​​launching an air strike at night, and worked out a feasible plan.But now, because the South China Front Army on the ground is attracting the attention of the Xuebing Army, in his opinion, this is the best opportunity to test his night air strike plan.At one moment, he just sent a telegram to Matsui Iwane to confirm his participation in the war. The next moment, he asked his adjutant to call the captains of the ships for a meeting. Under his strong advocacy, a complete "night attack" plan was freshly released, and then There was this air strike that Jiang Guangnai and Shen Guanghan were puzzled by.

I have to admit that Yamada's definition is bold enough.He let his dozens of gunboats and frigates with a displacement of two to three thousand tons approach from the open sea to the southeast coast of Fujian at extreme speed, while he led the main fleet to slowly keep up.This made the coastal radar soldiers of the Fourth Army unable to react for a while, and when they reacted and began to report upwards, the fleet composed of light gunboats and frigates of the Canglong aircraft carrier fleet was only a dozen kilometers away from the coast of Fujian.Then, a scene that stunned the radar soldiers appeared-after the Japanese ship approached the coast, it fired not artillery shells but illumination bombs.At this time, the main fleet led by Yamada Mori was only about [-] kilometers away from the coastline. Therefore, under the illumination provided by the flares, the Soryu released more than [-] fighters in one wave. Under the guidance of the flares fired by the frigate and the frigate, the military and civilian facilities on the outskirts of Fuding City began to be bombarded indiscriminately.

The Fourth Xue Army was responsible for defending Fuding along the Xue Tenth Division and the Fujian Security Second Division commanded by Liu Yuqing.The air raid made by Yamada's definition was so loud that even Jiang Guangnai and Shen Guanghan who were far away in Fu'an were alarmed. Naturally, Liu Yuqing couldn't sit still.At that time, he was inspecting the troops on the front line, and suddenly heard someone shouting "Master seat", he stopped and waited for a while, but found that the person chasing him was a staff officer of the division headquarters.Liu Yuqing was strict in running the army and didn't like his subordinates to be reckless. He raised his eyebrows and was about to ask why he was so flustered, but he heard the sound of artillery from the south.He turned his head and saw a large number of shells flying. Then, when the staff officer finished recounting the report of the radar soldier in a short breath, the shells exploded at high altitude in the south of them and began to burn violently—he knew that it was actually It's a flare.

"The little devil is going to attack!" Liu Yuqing made a judgment immediately, and then stopped patrolling the troops, and directly asked for a walkie-talkie, and first called Xu Chunfu, the fort commander on the front line of the Fuding Coast, and asked him to prepare. When the Japanese ships were found to be involved in the attack, they immediately fought back.Then he called Fu Xiangfu, the brigade commander of the 28th Brigade stationed at the forefront, and asked him to pay attention to his vigilance. Finally, he called Zhu Zaiting, the chief of staff and brigade commander of the 29th Brigade, and asked him to do a good job in the artillery defense work of the rear troops.After making three consecutive phone calls, Liu Yuqing's mind completely calmed down. After thinking about it, he was about to call Jiang Guangnai when he heard the roar of a fighter plane engine from the south.Then, more flares went up and hit him on the head.

Seeing this, the battalion commander of his guard battalion would not allow him to stay in such a dangerous place. With a wave of his hand, he and a few guards drove him towards the headquarters.

The targets of the first round of bombing by more than [-] enemy planes were the two places most likely to lurk the artillery of the Xuebing Army that had been detected a few days earlier. Under the guidance of the flares, the Japanese planes whizzed past, and the bombs were like hail It fell like a cloud, and instantly blasted the two woodlands into a raging fire.

Without waiting for the Japanese plane to turn around and carry out a second round of bombing, the air defense units of the Fourth Army opened fire.At the same time, the communications soldier following Liu Yuqing handed the microphone to Liu Yuqing and said, "Master, Mr. Jiang's phone number."

Liu Yuqing ordered his subordinates to put him down and answered the phone.

Old Jiang was Ouyang Yun's respectful name for Jiang Guangnai. After the word spread, no matter whether it was an officer or a soldier, when they called Jiang Guangnai again, they all continued to use this title.

On the other end of the microphone, Jiang Guangnai's voice seemed a little hurried: "Is it Xianting?"

"Yes."

"We have sounded the air defense alarm here, is there an enemy plane invading?"

"Yes, Mr. Jiang, it seems that the Japanese will launch a big offensive tonight!"

After a pause, Jiang Guangnai said viciously: "Let them come, the Second Special Artillery Brigade is ready to go into battle. You can grasp the exact timing of the attack!"

"Yes. Mr. Jiang, I'm not worried about the little devil's ground attack, but at sea. Please contact Commander Tie. If the Japanese bombing cannot be contained, the Second Special Artillery Brigade's attack would be too risky!"

"Okay, I'll contact the Air Force. If there is any new situation on your side, you must let me know as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"
