[Please collect, recommend, and ask for anything. Your support is the motivation for my writing. Come on Gao Fushuai and join the group 208912025 to decide the development of the plot. 】

On November 1938, 11, the German escort fleet and the joint fleet of Little Japan met off Hainan Island, near Zhongye Island. Hainan Island is more than 13 kilometers away from Zhongye Island, and the range of Ju650 is just enough. This situation was quickly conveyed. After arriving at Catherine, Catherine was an air force commander for many years after all, and quickly ordered fifty B-87 strategic bombers to take off urgently to provide support. kg bombs, so that the Ju29's voyage has increased by 87 kilometers, which is fully capable of supporting its own fleet.

And Little Japan has only two airports in Taiwan, one in Taipei and one in Taichung. The straight-line distance from Taichung to Thitu Island is more than 300 kilometers. Fleet is also very difficult, don't even think about Japan's fighter jets, large bombers can go there, just rely on Japan's wooden bombers, without fighter escort, they will die if they go there.

The range of Germany's bf109 is also very tragic, and the combat radius is only more than 500 kilometers, so Germany has no air superiority, but there is no disadvantage either. Germany has an aircraft carrier, and there are 87 strategic bombers and hundreds of ju[-] dives bombers, while Little Japan has six aircraft carriers. It can only be said that both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The command room of the Zeppelin aircraft carrier. The combat command room on this aircraft carrier is quite huge, with a full area of ​​200 square meters, but no inch is redundant. The entire command room is divided into several parts, with a telecommunications office and a logistics office. There is a staff office, and more than a dozen departments are working in this more than [-] square meters. It is impossible to have any extra space. Even the sand table is placed in an inconspicuous corner. Several major commanders are surrounded in front of the sand table. The commander-in-chief of the exercise, Raeder, held a baton, pointed at the sand table, and quickly described his tactical arrangements.

"Generals, you should be very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and us. Now the Japanese combined fleet is already a hundred nautical miles away from us, and our warning submarine has discovered their exact location. I plan to arrange it this way.

First, our transport fleet will immediately drive to the left, sticking to the coast of Vietnam, so as to reduce the chance of our transport fleet being attacked by the enemy as much as possible.

The second sent an advance fleet to meet it, including two battlecruisers, four destroyers, and 24 submarines.

Third, after dispatching twelve submarines to outflank them, the remaining submarines, destroyers and aircraft carriers constitute the main body of escort.

This is the arrangement of our navy. Now let’s talk about the arrangement of the air force. Our air force in China has two aviation divisions with more than 800 aircraft, plus one hundred B-29 strategic bombers. Our current position is in the South China Sea. Near the island, the straight-line distance from our Hainan airport is more than 650 kilometers, so our fighter bf109 has no way to support us, only b-29 and ju87 can support us, but these two types of aircraft are bombers, It's not much use flying over us.

So I have named Marshal Kesselring to send a large number of b-29 and ju87 directly to the vicinity of the Japanese combined fleet, and the Japanese combined fleet is only more than 500 kilometers away from Hainan Island Airport. If we add an auxiliary fuel tank to the bf109, the base will be reduced by half If the ammunition is used, it can completely fly over the Japanese combined fleet and stay in the flight for 10 to 109 minutes. These stranded bf[-]s will provide cover for our bombers.

The b-29 flies at high altitude and high speed. As long as the enemy dares to fire the first shot, it will immediately carry out carpet bombing on the combined Japanese fleet. This kind of carpet bombing will be very powerful. Countless bombs will fall from the sky. There is no way to avoid it even if you want to, as long as you are in the b-29 bombing group, you basically cannot escape.There is also ju87's precise dive bombing. Those who were injured and lost orders also had the same fate of being buried in the bottom of the sea.

Even if Japan has six aircraft carriers and more than 300 aircraft, excluding the torpedo planes, there will be no more than 150 fighter jets, while a German aviation division in Hainan has more than 400 aircraft and more than 200 fighter jets. The 96 shipboard garbage can only be sent to death. Everyone has already competed in the Songhu battlefield.

The other is that the navy cannot reveal the position of its own fleet. Little Japan’s combined fleet has long been exposed under the noses of German aircraft. German aircraft can attack their fleet and aircraft carriers at any time. From this point of view, Yamamoto 56 absolutely does not want to fight with Germany. Fighting, just to show off and leave, otherwise Yamamoto 56 would not be able to arrange troops at such a low level.

The Japanese combined fleet continued to approach, while the German fleet was approaching Hainan Island at full speed. Three hours later, the two sides appeared in their respective telescopes, and both sides could see each other through the telescopes, indicating that the distance was already within ten kilometers. All the fighter planes took off and cruised around their own fleet. Under such circumstances, there was no way to start a war. Once the war started, they would all die together. Few of the German escort fleet and transported munitions could escape bad luck. There will be nothing left of the combined fleet, and the Japanese navy will withdraw from the stage of history.

Will such a battle be fought in threes and fives?Of course they won't fight. Little Japan dared to gamble all of Japan's navy with its little resources and military expenses. It is absolutely impossible for the shrewd Yamamoto 56 to do such a stupid thing.

Zhang Jun and several generals of the general headquarters left the command room, came to the observation deck, picked up the binoculars in their hands to observe the status and size of the Japanese army's navy, and Yamamoto 56 was also observing the German fleet in the same way. Lamenting the hugeness of the Japanese navy, Yamamoto 56 was lamenting the advanced German shipbuilding technology.

The fleets of the two sides are gradually moving away. Yamamoto 56 took the huge combined fleet to demonstrate in front of the Germans this time, and intuitively demonstrated the strength of the Japanese navy in front of the German navy. This made Zhang Jun feel the power. How many times did Japan recklessly attack the German navy, making Germany and Little Japan a complete enemy? In addition, during World War I, Little Japan snatched the hatred of Qingdao Port from Germany. If that is the case, Germany and Japan Now there is no hope of forming an alliance.It's a pity that Little Japan didn't fight at all, and completely regarded the German fleet as transparent. They lined up in a column, hung up colorful flags, and honked their sirens. Zhang Junji had no choice.

In fact, Yamamoto 56 has more insidious intentions. The Germans have always looked down on Japan, but now the Germans have intuitively seen Japan's powerful naval power. Six aircraft carriers plus a hundred large warships, this strength can be said It is the second in the world, but what is Germany lacking? --navy.Once Germany goes to war in the future, it will definitely face the blockade of various powers, and it is difficult to break this blockade with the strength of the German navy alone. In order to solve this dilemma, it can only form an alliance.

"The combined fleet of Japan is very strong. It would be great if we had such strength."

"We don't have such strength, but we can form an alliance with Japan!"

The thing that Zhang Jun was most worried about happened. Zhang Jun didn't refute aloud, but observed the person he was talking with from the corner of his eyes. He had to hide himself first, so that he could know what other people were thinking.The person who said this was the former director of the Military Intelligence Bureau: William Canaris (Admiral), whose current position is the commander-in-chief of the German High Seas Fleet. Most of the main ships, now the person who is going to betray the great head of state in future generations, has started to come out to make trouble for himself. How could Zhang Jun let him go? Zhang Jun just let him lose his position as the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau last time. He did not expect this The bastard actually got into the position of commander of the High Seas Fleet.

"General William Canaris, your suggestion is of course good, but these diplomatic matters should be handled by the head of state. We generals only need to fight well."

Admiral Raeder expressed his opinion very euphemistically, but he knew that William Canaris was not interested, so he continued;

"No, no, marshal, we can give advice to the head of state! Let the head of state not make strategic mistakes, if not, let's unite to give advice to the head of state, wouldn't that be more successful."

It seemed that this bastard was deliberately looking for an alliance with the Japanese, and also planned to attract Admiral Raeder. Zhang Jun remained calm and continued to use his binoculars to watch the departing Japanese combined fleet.But Zhang Jun's heart was turbulent, "You wait, I don't believe that I will kill you, you bastard..."

"Hehe, respected General William Canaris, now that the crisis is over, why don't we have a drink and let's celebrate."

Zhang Jun smiled all over his face, and proposed to William Canaris kindly like a spring breeze:

"Oh, does General Zhang want to have a drink too? Then let's go and have a drink to celebrate. Why don't you go together, generals."

Of course, Zhang Jun’s suggestion to go drink was just to interrupt the high-spirited speeches of William Canaris, the later traitor, and prevent more senior German generals from having the same idea as him. If that is the case, it will be really detrimental to Zhang Jun’s strategic layout, Xiao Japan will definitely go south for its own interests and resources. When the little Japan goes south, it is when the United States enters the war. Once the United States joins the war, it can still benefit from Germany. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid the idea of ​​​​an alliance with the little Japan in the German leadership. The danger of Japan's alliance, Zhang Jun plans to write a detailed report to the head of state as soon as he returns to Germany, and at the same time distribute this report to all senior generals, so that these generals can more widely understand the importance of Germany's alliance with Japan Great crisis.

This report cannot be delayed, it must comprehensively and profoundly reveal the nature of Little Japan’s strong outside but capable in the middle. Zhang Jun has already prepared a draft in his heart, and he can point out the nature of Little Japan’s congenital disabilities from the aspects of Japan’s land area, population resources, domestic resources, etc. .
