Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2140 Pacific Fleet

In that time and space, the key to the fact that the Communist Party was able to have the last laugh was that their base, Yan'an, had not suffered from military disasters from beginning to end.In this time and space, the sudden appearance of two butterflies has changed too many things. Not only China, but even the world, history has entered a new track.

The initiator of the Qinling operation was actually Minichiro Koizumi. Koizumi Minichiro had already faded out of the military circle because of his inaction in the Philippines, but now because of this incident, his name was frequently mentioned by the officers left behind in the Tokyo base camp, so he The excellent performance in the battle against New Guinea and Australia has also been excavated by some people.After being silent for nearly a year, Koizumi Toshiichiro, the "Flower of the Famous General" of the empire that Yamamoto 56 believed was the only one who could counter Ouyang Yun's future, finally became a famous general. Some of his past suggestions have also begun to be valued by the Japanese military. Among them, the most influential to the Japanese military circle is that his suggestion that the threat of the Pacific Fleet of the Xuebing Army should be faced up to was finally accepted by Hideki Tojo and others.Then, as soon as Hideki Tojo looked through the intelligence materials, he discovered that the information about the Pacific Fleet of the Xuebing Army had accumulated a thick stack, and the Xuebing Army actually had three aircraft carriers.

In the past, the Pacific Fleet of the Xuebing Army was a joke in the eyes of the Japanese and Americans, and it was a super toy that Ouyang Yun was willing to spend a lot of money to build.However, after experiencing the Battle of Green Island, the Japanese suddenly discovered that the Xuebing Army Navy was not as vulnerable as the legend said, and then discovered that the Kaga aircraft carrier was destroyed by the Xuebing Army submarine force. Their attitude immediately changed With a 180-degree turn, the naval power of the Xuebing Army has become more important than ever.The latest information about the Pacific Fleet of the Academy of Soldiers was sent by the New Delhi agency. The content is that the Pacific Fleet will go to the Indian Ocean for long-distance training.By accident, Tojo, who had never been interested in maritime information before, suddenly had a whim today and wanted to witness the accuracy of this information.He calculated the time and found that according to the date provided by the intelligence, the Pacific Fleet should have entered the Indian Ocean, so he sent someone to the Ministry of the Navy to request relevant information.People in the Ministry of the Navy attach great importance to the Pacific Fleet, and there has always been a special department in charge.Of course, because the United Fleet is still supporting the defense of South China along the coast of China at this time, although there is new information from the front line, it has not attracted their attention.The military department suddenly asked for the latest eastward direction of the Pacific Fleet, and the officers of the Navy Ministry's intelligence department hurriedly searched for useful information from the mountains of frontline information.I don’t know, I don’t know. I was shocked when I checked. They dug up the relevant report and found that the report three days ago showed that the Pacific Fleet had entered the Banda Sea and had sunk a submarine of the Western Expedition Fleet. They were collectively dumbfounded. .

In the past, based on the interests of the army, Hideki Tojo strongly opposed the combined fleet expedition to the Arabian Sea to destroy the Pacific Fleet and the Karachi military base of the Xuebing Army. Now he suddenly discovered that the Pacific Fleet has grown so strong, and has the ability to cross the Indian Ocean and enter Southeast Asia. The sea area, the old devil felt the threat, immediately called Yamamoto 56, first informed him of the matter, and then sincerely hoped that he could immediately lead the joint fleet to attack, so as to wipe out this serious problem as soon as possible.

Hideki Tojo was never a good military strategist, not even a good general.He was able to rise to the top because of the collective ambitions of the Japanese military community, and someone needed to come forward to provide them with a war opportunity.Compared to him, Yamamoto is much better, at least he can see far more clearly than Tojo in some major strategic directions.It was only on a whim that Tojo discovered that the Pacific Fleet of the Xuebing Army had entered Southeast Asia, and Yamamoto had received relevant information as early as a week ago.His information naturally comes from Toshiichiro Koizumi.Today, in the Xuebing Army, no, from Koizumi's point of view, they have suffered repeated setbacks at the hands of Ouyang Yun. Koizumi has long since dared not look at Ouyang Yun and the Xuebing Army with an arrogant attitude.This mentality also affected his views on the Pacific Fleet of the Cadet Army.Therefore, although misled by the false information provided by New Delhi's intelligence agency, there was no attempt to discover the Pacific Fleet in the first place.But after the Pacific Fleet entered the Timor Sea, he immediately understood the intention of the apprentice army.

After one and a half years, Koizumi has established a large-scale military industrial enterprise in Singapore. Among them, aircraft manufacturing plants and shipyards are the focus of his development.Aircraft carriers and submarines are the types of ships that Koizumi insists on developing. The construction of aircraft carriers requires the support of a large-scale steel industry. The water transportation channel from Singapore to Japan is blocked by the Haikou Fleet and Dongshan Fleet of the Xuebing Army. Koizumi cannot obtain steel from China, so His shipyard in Singapore can only build small and medium-sized submarines such as destroyers and destroyers.After receiving a report from the intelligence agency in New Delhi that the Pacific Fleet would go to the Indian Ocean for voyage training, Koizumi sent a submarine force into the Indian Ocean through the Strait of Malacca to search and monitor.Then, he was the first to notice the student army's attempt to use the Pacific Fleet to enter the Indian Ocean.

After receiving Koizumi's report, Yamamoto originally wanted to organize the joint fleet to go south to intercept it as soon as possible, so as to strangle the Pacific Fleet of the Xuebing Army in the Southeast Asian waters.Although the Japanese navy headed by Yamamoto has realized that the Pacific Fleet is a threat, they still have full confidence that they can win the battle between the two sides at this stage.Koizumi did not agree with his plan.The Pacific Fleet suddenly entered Southeast Asia. Koizumi thought that Ouyang Yun was supporting Australia at the request of the Americans.But as the Pacific Fleet entered the Banda Sea through the Timor Sea and continued to advance towards the Maluku Sea, he judged the true intentions of the Academy Army and guessed that they should be withdrawing the troops from the Philippines. idea.The Japanese army's western expedition to Southeast Asia was originally for the rich strategic resources in Southeast Asia. Now Sumatra, Indonesia, and Malaysia, which are rich in oil and rubber, have been captured. However, because the student army blocked the water channel, these materials could not be transported back to China. This became the biggest problem for the Japanese army.It has been a while since Masaharu Honma replaced Koizumi to attack the Philippines, but he has been unable to conquer Mindanao, which is heavily guarded by the Xuebing army and the US military.This time, if the Pacific Fleet is allowed to withdraw the U.S. troops stationed in the Philippines and the cadet army, then Masaharu Honma will be able to take the Philippines without a fight, gradually laying the foundation for launching the Taiwan War.If Taiwan is taken again, the Japanese army will be able to open up new water transport channels through the Philippine Sea...

Starting from the overall situation, Koizumi suggested to let the Pacific Fleet go first, and Yamamoto accepted his opinion.
