the world is at stake

The National Defense Forces Navy does not have an aircraft carrier, but Miyakojima is an unsinkable aircraft carrier.The terrain on the island is flat, and it can support more than a dozen runways over a kilometer, enough for one or two air forces to fight.

The Japanese barracks on the island were occupied by the landing force as the headquarters.But within two hours, the headquarters moved to a field tent with a camouflage net.

"These Chinese soldiers actually think our barracks are too simple. This is a high-end building made of American cement."

Some Japanese prisoners of war were escorted back to Fujian by landing craft on their return voyage.Most of the rest were locked up in Japanese barracks.The defeated Juchi Shao Zuo clasped his hands on the bars of the barracks and complained angrily.

The Japanese barracks on the island was too small, so a bulldozer drove over and knocked down the wall.Probably a company of engineers drove a truck and built a simple wooden house on the original site.

There were a few heads of Japanese soldiers squeezed behind Major Juchi, seven or eight pairs of eyes were staring outside, and the voices of whispering were mixed.

"Why does the Chinese army have so many vehicles?"

"Is it a division that landed?"

"They don't seem to have any horses."

"Chariots, look at the Chinese chariots."

Several armored combat vehicles equipped with [-]mm artillery drove past the prisoner-of-war camp, accompanied by infantry sitting on the turrets.Holding their guns, they stared coldly at the Japanese prisoners of war behind the bars, as if nothing had happened.

When the National Defense Forces landed, more than a dozen tons of 'Grey Wolf' chariots became a stepping stone.After the Air Force's guided bombs destroyed the coastal defense heavy artillery, the small firepower points were all destroyed by the direct aim of the [-]mm tank gun.

In the eyes of the Japanese army, the artillery with a slender barrel was like a call of death, and the fortification bunkers that were targeted by it were about to be destroyed in an instant.

Also in the convoy is a modified fire-breathing tank for sweeping trenches or concealed fire points at close range.This thing can spew out five to 60 meters of violent flames, invincible to those who block it.

With the Spitfire, the infantry doesn't have to take the huge risk of trench warfare, and love it -- just keep it out of the way so it doesn't set itself on fire when it gets shot.

Major Kikuchi had an irrepressible fear of these chariots.More than ten hours ago, the expected infantry confrontation never happened, and the Japanese army was beaten violently by these heavy equipment.

"Are we defeated just like that?"

"It's really a bit unreconciled."

"The next battle should have nothing to do with us."

The prisoners of war muttered, a field off-road vehicle drove over, and a few non-commissioned officers got off.It looks like they are no different from Chinese soldiers, but when they open their mouths...

"I am Second Lieutenant Kawada of the Japanese Liberation Force of the Chinese National Defense Force. Now I give you a chance to join the great cause against the brutal warlord and the evil emperor."

Authentic Japanese with a little Osaka accent.

Juchi behind the bars cursed at the words: "Baga, what are you talking about? You are a collaborator, right? You insulted the emperor, do you feel ashamed? Why do you have the face to appear in front of us?"

The prisoners of war locked in the barracks were released again and stood on the training ground in the barracks.Several 'Grey Wolf' infantry vehicles with machine guns aimed at them, surrounded by a circle of menacing armed personnel.

Ju Chi was caught out staggeringly, and he found that the 'Chinese soldiers' in front of him were actually all speaking Japanese, "You...you are..."

"We are glorious Japanese liberation fighters, and we must fight for the liberation of the Japanese people." Second Lieutenant Kawada carried a 'Bergman' submachine gun on his back, looking evil.

"Whenever I think of you warlord lackeys eating rice, I wish I could wipe you out. But the chief decided to give you a chance to correct your thinking. Now those who are willing to join can find my left hand side, and those who don't want to go to my right hand side .”

Hundreds of captives ran towards Lieutenant Hetian's left with a clatter.Seeing that his companion surrendered to the enemy so easily, Ju Chi shouted anxiously: "You are too weak, at least...at least..."

Lieutenant Kawada stared at Kikuchi coldly.The latter immediately shivered, and said, "I just want to say, at least let's discuss it."

Chapter 21 Desperate

The headquarters of the Japanese Military Headquarters is the supreme commander of the Japanese Navy and Army during wartime.In theory, it is the highest headquarters directly under the Emperor of Japan, and orders can be issued in the name of the Emperor.

The emperor is the head of the 'base camp', but the actual power is held by the Chief of the Navy Command and the Army Chief of Staff as the 'Chief of Staff'.The Army Staff Headquarters and the Navy Command are its subordinate institutions.

History has deviated from the original course, and now the base camp is controlled by the Minister of War Masaichi Terauchi and the Minister of the Navy Yamamoto Gonbei.When China began to implement the operation to recover Taiwan, the first thing the navy and army did was...

quarrel!

The army scolded the navy for wasting resources, and the people of Japan cut down on food and clothing and assumed huge loans to get funds that were used by the navy to create a bunch of useless "iron kings".

The Navy scolded the Army Red Deer for being mentally retarded and incompetent. They obviously couldn't beat China but would die in Liaodong, North Korea and other places.Wasted precious soldiers and supplies in vain, still can't win.

The army scolded the navy for being extravagant and eating western food, steak, butter and bread. As a result, they couldn't even blockade China's coast.The poor infantry can only eat rice balls with salt, and have to suffer for the navy.

The navy scolded the army for corruption, and in order to grab military expenses, they even came up with such a wonderful establishment as the "land fleet", which built a bunch of scrap iron for land ships, land landing boats, attack boats, and submarines.

The two sides quarreled like hell.

Emperor Taisho, who was in the meeting, sat in the presiding seat in a daze, and Terauchi Masaki and Yamamoto Gonbei faced each other coldly.The vice-admirals and major-admirals on both sides of the long table were slapping the table and scolding each other, spitting everywhere.

The meeting at the base camp had nothing to do with the cabinet.But this time the situation was serious, and Prime Minister Neko Miura, who was a 'rubber stamp', was also allowed to listen in the next section, but he had no right to speak.

Seeing that Lu Haijun was arguing outrageously, Miura couldn't help but burst into tears.He didn't expect his ancestors to be such a group of people, individually they were elites, but together they were all trash, and they could only fight among themselves.

"My lords, China is aggressively attacking. If you keep arguing like this, you don't need to fight at all. If you just surrender, you will save people from death." Miura also broke his cans, complaining and complaining.

Terauchi Masaki and Yamamoto Gonbei, who were sitting still, were stimulated by this sentence, and felt that it was pointless to continue arguing, so they finally ordered their subordinates to sit down and discuss what to do?

There are also four main divisions of the Japanese Army in Taiwan, and the Army Staff Headquarters cannot sit idly by anyway.However, the capital ships that the Japanese Navy can dispatch can be calculated with fingers, and they are not willing to use them to fight for consumption.

To make matters worse, the Chinese National Defense Forces are strong enough to force a landing on Taiwan while launching a surprise attack in North Korea.The four Japanese army divisions in North Korea have lost the logistics of the US aid. In recent months, they have been a little bit overwhelmed and are in danger.

North Korea is too close to Japan. Once the Japanese troops stationed in North Korea are defeated, the Japanese mainland will face air strikes.The army and the navy argued again for a long time, and reluctantly decided to organize a fast task force to go south to rescue Taiwan.

After repelling China's forced landing in Taiwan, the aircraft carrier group must immediately turn around and return to support the air defense umbrella for the Japanese mainland.

Miura, who was on the sidelines, didn't know much about military affairs. Watching the army and navy making noise was like a child's play, but felt that Emperor Taisho, who was sitting opposite him as a puppet, was pitiful and ridiculous--Taisho also looked at him, and he was very silly and happy.

The struggle for hegemony between China and Japan that will determine the fate of East Asia has come to a decisive moment.The European and American powers watched quietly, unable to interfere, and only waited for the outcome.

The resigned President Marco returned to the estate he bought in Florida.Sitting on the beach in the sunny Caribbean breeze, he received a telegram from Japan.

The message was very long, and Marcos read it and handed it to Kissinger who was sitting next to him.But this "National Teacher of the United States" is too old to provide any advice, and can only live day by day.

The 'Brotherhood' lost the presidency and luckily also control of the US military.Marcos approved a large amount of military spending to please the military, and stuffed his men into the army and navy—such as building the "Pentagon" for the US military more than [-] years in advance.

"If Japan loses the war, wouldn't it be worthless to give China a country that has been transformed by more than 20 billion dollars?" Marco Shi watched the two-day battle report and smiled bitterly.

Several executive committee members of the 'Brotherhood' were there, all frowning at this ridicule.Melo, who became the Minister of Defense, curled his lips and shook his head: "It's not just more than 20 billion U.S. dollars. Double it, about 50 billion U.S. dollars.

In the past five years, the United Kingdom has also given a lot of assistance, and Japan itself has worked very hard.They emptied every penny of the treasury and the people to import equipment from Britain and the United States, and built many steel factories, automobile factories, and shipyards.

Please note that Japan was the worst industrial country in the original history, not only with low industrial output value, but also with poor industrial level, low technological content and added value.

But with our strong support, Japan's annual steel production has soared from less than 30 tons to 300 million tons, and it has the ability to build large warships that China just lacks.

Japan has a large number of skilled engineers and advanced factories capable of building all naval equipment including aircraft carriers, battle cruisers, and battleships.In the original history, it was the biggest opponent of the United States in East Asia, and now its strength has skyrocketed five or six times. "

The attendant Thomas whispered angrily: "Since Japan's strength has skyrocketed, why can't it win against China?"

The 'Brotherhood' has worked very hard to strengthen Japan, but Japan is like 'A Dou who can't afford it', being firmly suppressed by China.

Melo shrugged, "It is difficult for an island country to fight against a mainland country. Japan is developing, and China is developing more rapidly, and its strength has increased a hundredfold.

Now I am very worried that if China swallows Japan, what will happen to those hungry Japanese after they are full?It will definitely become the most vicious jackal. "

The United States has always regarded Japan as a dog, but this dog can bite people.Whether it is Pearl Harbor during World War II or the economic miracle after World War II, Japan's performance can be regarded as the benchmark of human development and has reached the upper limit.

Japan currently has two aircraft carriers, and two battle cruisers are in a state of outfitting.If China swallowed Japan, it would be equivalent to immediately taking over a powerful fleet.

Not to mention that China breaks free from the shackles of the first island chain and faces the second island chain. Maybe one day it will take over Southeast Asia, occupy the Philippines, and attack Guam and even the Hawaiian Islands.

Japan's industrial system can bring huge bonuses to China and make it develop faster.Just thinking about the consequences makes everyone in the 'Brotherhood' shudder.

Thomas read the battle report and asked in a low voice: "In this case, why didn't we remind Japan and tell them that China should have broken through the guidance technology. The rocket intelligence we obtained before was smoke."

The effectiveness of guided weapons is much higher than that of unguided weapons. One guided bomb is worth the damage of ten or twenty ordinary bombs.Even radio command guidance with extremely poor anti-interference can make unsuspecting opponents suffer a lot.

After the news of the transistor breakthrough came out, the 'Brotherhood' was well aware of the progress of China's military strength.But Marcos only pretended that nothing happened, and did not give any warning to Japan's actions.

Regarding Thomas' question, several members of the executive committee looked at each other, and Melo said in a deep voice: "We have discussed that if the 'Brotherhood' wants to be in power again, it must create an enemy for the United States and make the consortium suffer.

China's strength is far inferior to that of the United States. It is trying to avoid conflicts with the mainstream American society, and is even trying to link up with the American economy.

China, which can swallow Japan, will inevitably break out violent conflicts with the United States, which will facilitate our propaganda of decoupling between China and the United States in public opinion, and will also facilitate the growth of the military and military-industrial consortia, and then become the "controllers behind the scenes". "

Thomas fell silent for a moment.Between the interests of the country and the interests of the team, the 'Brotherhood' obviously chose the latter—since it can't stop China's rise, it should simply give it a push to ensure its own existence.

At this moment, in the Command Center of the General Staff of the National Defense Forces, more than a dozen pieces of information have been collected from various channels.

The plotter immediately placed ship models representing the aircraft carrier 'Fengxiang', 'Tianxiang' and 'Wufeng', and the two battlecruisers 'Bi' and 'Haruna' on the huge sand table in the center.

They are in the ocean to the east of Okinawa, the Seto Inland Sea and the southern waters of Kyushu Island.

Fang Bo, the navy commander, held up the information in his hand, laughed and said: "The little devil finally moved, and the radio interception found the signals of these aircraft carriers and battle patrols. The transistor computer made a great contribution to deciphering the secret message sent by the Japanese army base camp."

Xiao Jinlang couldn't stand it any longer and had already gone back to rest.Except for the staff on duty in the command center, only Zhou Qingfeng and Fang Bo were left watching the development of the battle.

In order to save the 'King Kong', the 'Fengxiang' was killed by two fighter squadrons by the Air Force of the National Defense Forces 24 hours ago.Through the interrogation of the Japanese pilots who parachuted into the water, the situation of the deployment of several Japanese fleets has been roughly outlined.

At the beginning of the year, the Wehrmacht mobilized to deal with the little devils.More than a dozen divisions on the Fujian front line are on standby.After discussion, the General Staff believed that a fighter plane had appeared, and immediately ordered a forced landing on Taiwan.

"The landing force caught a time difference of about 36 hours." Zhou Qingfeng glanced at the decoded information, "Now we'll see if Miyakojima can hold on."

"The little devil didn't come so soon, at least 48 hours." Fang Bo said with certainty, "The Japanese battleships are not together, and they have to gather first before rushing over."

For 48 hours, there will be at least two aviation armies on Miyako Island, more than 5000 fighter planes, and more than 1 garrison troops on the island. The 'Boom-[-]' has a combat radius of [-] kilometers, which is much farther than the little devil's carrier-based aircraft.

"The Japanese task force will definitely come around from outside the first island chain. We can first send early warning aircraft to investigate and determine the direction of the opponent's attack."

AWACS?

Zhou Qingfeng was happy when he heard the words, "The early warning aircraft made by the Air Force is too shabby. The radar is a simple transmitting and receiving antenna. It can neither measure speed nor altitude. It can only do simple ranging and direction finding. It has poor filtering performance and anti-interference Ability equals zero."

Fang Bo was very unconvinced, but said happily:

"At the current level of technology, it is good for radar to be able to roughly measure distance and direction. The speed difference between aircraft and ships is very large, which can be seen on the radar screen. The target that can move quickly on the sea at this moment must be Aircraft carrier aircraft.

As long as the little devil's task force dares to come, we will make it suffer a lot.Destroy a few of its battleships, and the whole of Japan will be a fish belly on the chopping board, and let us slaughter it. "

Chapter 22

1917 5 Month 30 Day.

A fast task force consisting of four aircraft carriers, two battle cruisers, plus a dozen cruisers and large destroyers was formed in the waters south of Kyushu Island, and headed towards Okinawa at high speed.

Considering that the power of each ship is different, the task force opened a distance of more than ten nautical miles and sailed in formation at an average speed of 25 knots.The commander of the fleet is Lieutenant General Kato Sadayoshi, Commander-in-Chief of Wu Zhenshoufu.

On the surface of the sea, the four aircraft carriers are all taking off fighter jets to arrange air defense circles, and there is an aircraft carrier support ship to supplement fighter jets and pilots for the "Fengxiang" which lost a large number of fighter jets.

Kato Sadayoshi placed his headquarters on the 'Feng Xiang'.

This is the first aircraft carrier of the Japanese Navy, and the personnel on board are of the highest quality, which facilitates coordinated operations.Rear Admiral Toyoshima Jiro, former commander of the assault fleet, served as his deputy.

At this moment, 36 hours have passed since the Chinese National Defense Forces launched a forced landing in the direction of Taiwan.

Miyakojima fell, and the Naha sea and air base was attacked continuously.The Japanese troops stationed in Taiwan are struggling to resist, trying to drive the troops who landed on the beach into the sea.

The first island chain is at stake.

"If you don't fight, your country will be subjugated, and war may still be unavoidable. But subjugation without fighting is a country that loses its soul. Only by fighting until the last soldier dies will it be possible to survive from death."

Lieutenant Admiral Kato boarded the "Fengxiang" and called the captains of the ships to give lectures, and described the current situation of decisive battle and decisive victory as extremely tragic.All the generals and school of the Japanese army were sullen and determined to die if they were defeated.

"Miyakojima cannot be escaped. 'Baozhi' built an airport on the island, so it is difficult to approach it during the day. We can only send high-speed warships to bombard it at night.

Only by destroying the 'Baozhi' airport and fighter planes can our task force approach Taiwan and use the aircraft of the four aircraft carriers to defeat the 'Baozhi' landing force. "

Kato had decided on such a tactic the moment he boarded the ship—if it was a duel between fleets, there would be tactics such as luring the enemy to deceive and investigate.But when the fleet touches the island, it can only touch it abruptly.

In order to recapture Miyako Island, the Kato fleet was followed by more than a dozen troop carriers and landing ships, equipped with nearly [-] Japanese infantry.If the counterattack is unsuccessful, half the division will have to feed the fish.

When Kato finished mobilizing for war, the captains of more than a dozen warships put plaster bands on their foreheads and shouted viciously, "We must win, we must win."

At this very moment, a modified 'K-1' flew from Fujian to Miyako Island.

After 36 hours of emergency transportation, there are now 150 National Defense Forces and more than [-] fighters on the island.More than [-] patrol planes take off and land every hour to monitor the wind and grass within [-] kilometers around the island.

In addition, there are more than 30 submarines based on Miyako Island and spreading around, and more than 50 patrol boats and small destroyers are active within a range of two to three hundred kilometers to conduct battlefield patrols.

The submarines all ran in the direction of Okinawa, and it was calculated that the little devil's counterattack fleet must come from the north.They formed a wolf pack formation, with a distance of ten nautical miles from each other, sailing on the water surface at a speed of twelve knots, and the seaplane assisted in monitoring the surrounding sea area.

The National Defense Forces made up their minds to defend Miyakojima and do everything possible to prevent the Japanese army from counterattacking.In order to win the battle, the early warning aircraft that had just been finalized were moved out.

Zhou Qingfeng laughed that the navy's early warning aircraft were too crude.But this thing is already a collection of the highest level of technology from all countries in the world, and it belongs to the crystallization of all the cutting-edge technologies of China, Germany, the United States, Britain and France.

The airborne radar is installed under the nose of the 'Ke-1', which looks like a swollen fat chin, not ugly at all.Magnetrons smuggled from England were used to generate radar microwaves, operating in the three gigahertz band.

If the radar is made of electronic tubes, the power consumption and volume cannot be reduced, and the cabin and load of the 'K-1' are completely unaffordable.But fortunately, the transistor has been broken through by China, which can be regarded as the unique skill mastered by "Holy Light".

The radar antenna is made by China itself, and the screen of the display console is American.The German guy modified the airframe and provided the latest enhanced engine for this modified airliner, at the cost of only fifty hours of overhaul life.

Apart from the pilot and navigator, there are six professional radar officers on this ultra-simple early warning aircraft, all of whom have the rank of lieutenant or above.The air intelligence officer is a major, specially trained by the Air Force Advanced Command Academy.

From the perspective of future generations, the performance of this early warning aircraft is surprisingly bad.

Its radar cannot rotate, and can only scan a [-]-degree sector directly in front of the nose, with a maximum detection range of [-] kilometers.

The target type cannot be distinguished on the display console, and islands, sailboats, and warships are all bright spots.
