Chapter 784: Death Assault (1)
Yokohama,
18:27,
The night was like a huge black cloth, hanging heavily over the city.
In a wooden house in the southern suburbs,
Kazuo Nakamura, a soldier from the 1rd Infantry Regiment of the 3st Division of the Self-Defense Forces, and a dozen of his comrades in his squad have been squeezed in this small space for a whole day!
The atmosphere is as tense as a taut bowstring, the final moment of attack is about to come!
In the afternoon, team leader Saburo Akita had already made a pre-war mobilization. Tonight, no matter what, the Yokosuka base must be captured!
Kazuo Nakamura was eating two rice balls in his arms, but he felt a little dissatisfied. He thought that the division was too stingy. If he died at night, they would only give him two rice balls as his last meal?
There was a knock on the door outside the house.
An old woman in kimono stood at the door with a middle-aged man.
The old woman was trembling as she held a pot of steaming miso soup. The tofu cubes and kelp shreds floating on the surface of the soup glowed attractively under the light, and the aroma of the soup instantly filled the entire room.
Her hands were shaking slightly, and her eyes showed worry for the soldiers. She placed the soup in front of Nakamura Shinobu and said softly, "Children, eat more. Only when you are full will you have the strength to fight. We must drive the invaders out!"
The middle-aged man brought a large plate of carefully prepared tempura. The golden and crispy shrimps and vegetables were neatly arranged on the plate, still emitting hot steam from the pan.
He placed the plate in the middle of the team members and said, "This is the best skill I have in my family. I hope it can give you some strength."
Kazuo Nakamura sat there, looking at the food in front of him that was full of affection, his heart surging like the waves.
Tears welled up in his eyes, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something, so he couldn't speak. A strong sense of mission and tragedy intertwined in his heart.
He knew that they were going to launch a desperate assault tonight, and perhaps this would be the last time they would enjoy such warm care in this world.
Kazuo Nakamura took a deep breath, tried to suppress his excitement, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of tempura and put it in his mouth. The crispy crust cracked in his mouth, and the delicious taste bloomed on his taste buds.
But at this moment, he had no time to savor the delicious food. His mind was full of the upcoming battle and the unknown and dangerous Yokosuka position.
Teammates also gathered around and started eating the food brought by the people.
The room was quiet for a while, with only the sound of chewing food and the occasional swallowing sound. Everyone understood that this was not just a simple meal, but also the trust and expectation of the people!
Before he finished eating these delicious foods, a rapid bugle call was blown. Kazuo Nakamura knew that it was the squadron's assembly call and they were about to set off!
The members of the Self-Defense Forces stood up one after another, each with a determined look in their eyes. They picked up their weapons and rushed out of the cabin!
Haizhou City,
Army Headquarters Operations Command Center,
Yin Xinjun, who has already returned to China,
A joint operations meeting is held here!
Those attending the meeting included Army Commander, Commander-in-Chief of the Asia-Pacific Theater Command, General Ding Shan, Defense Minister Kang Huaifu, Foreign Minister Chen Chao, Army Deputy Commander and Army Aviation Commander Lieutenant General Zhang Wenjiu, and Navy Deputy Commander and Navy Aviation Commander Lieutenant General Guo Qiang!
However, Navy Commander Admiral Tang Yantian and Navy Deputy Commander and Marine Corps Commander Lieutenant General Yuan Canhai did not attend the meeting because they went to the front line in Egypt!
Chen Chao first reported,
"Mr. President, today the Japanese ambassador, Sueki Nakata, delivered a letter of protest to the Japanese government, saying that our air raids caused more than a thousand civilian casualties in Yokohama!"
Zhang Wenjiu immediately explained,
"That's because when we bombed them, all the Japanese soldiers ran towards the city of Yokohama!"
Yin Xinjun smiled sinisterly.
"This time, we finally have a chance to wipe this beastly country off the map. We have to take our time and enjoy this delicacy bite by bite. However, we still have to stand firm on moral grounds.
After the meeting, Chen Chao, you will inform the Japanese ambassador that starting from three days later, the Haizhou Air Force will launch air strikes on cities across Japan. Give them three days to relocate civilians! "
Everyone in the conference room laughed.
Three days, even three hundred days, there is no way to resettle them. Besides, it is just a notice. Are people in the city going to move out? This is the rhythm of driving people to death!
Kang Huaifu smiled and said,
"I heard that today, domestic flights from Japan to foreign countries have increased fivefold, and ship tickets have increased threefold. Many people are desperately trying to get out!"
Yin Xinjun nodded and asked,
"What is the latest situation in the Asia-Pacific theater?"
Army Commander Ding Shan walked to the large map on the wall with his baton.
"So far, on the first day of the battle, our army has had many fierce air battles with the US military in the airspace of Yokosuka Base, shooting down a total of 875 US aircraft, and we lost 309 aircraft. In addition, one of our destroyers, one frigate, two supply ships, and four torpedo boats in the port were sunk by US air strikes! The port's heavy oil depot, navy dormitory building, and office building were destroyed, and the air force airport runway and command tower were destroyed. At present, the engineering troops are using quick-drying cement to repair the airport runway, and it is expected to be completed tomorrow morning!
Our navy's Jingbo Lake battleship sank all of the US aircraft carriers, a cruiser, a destroyer, two frigates, and two supply ships in the Pacific Ocean about 105 nautical miles south of Yokosuka! "
Everyone present couldn't help but applaud enthusiastically. The Jingpo Lake battleship created a miracle in the history of war. A warship single-handedly challenged an aircraft carrier battle group and won a great victory!
Kang Huaifu said,
"It seems that Xiaofan's theory is correct. In the future, we have to build a few more battleships!"
Deputy Navy Commander Guo Qiang added,
"Xiao Fan was able to win because our army used a large number of missiles, including ship-to-air missiles and cruise missiles! His battleship was like a hedgehog, carrying more than a thousand missiles to sea!"
Yin Xinjun said,
"Battleship missiles, this model is at least feasible in my opinion. Xiao Fan has opened up a new path for us. Lao Kang, please send a notice to the Ministry of National Defense to continue purchasing four 40,000-50,000-ton battleships!"
"Okay, I'll make an announcement tomorrow!"
Ding Shan continued to report,
"The focus of the battle is still on the Yokosuka base. The Japanese Army Self-Defense Force showed signs of attacking Yokosuka. They dispatched a division from Tokyo to Yokosuka, but today they were bombed by carrier-based aircraft and retreated to Yokohama in disgrace!
However, today our army suffered heavy losses in Yokosuka! Since Yokosuka is outside the combat radius of our Army Aviation aircraft, we may have to rely on Navy aircraft in the future!"
