Chapter 981 Ambush in the Sea
Chapter 981 Ambush in the Sea
early morning.
The red sun rises from the horizon.
There was a hazy fog on the sea.
One Japanese ship after another was sailing steadily on the sea.
In the middle position, there are dozens of Japanese troop transport ships, which are guarded in the middle.
On both sides, there are three Ghost-type destroyers guarding.
Behind the ship, there were two Japanese light cruisers.
As for the leading flagship, it was a heavy cruiser.
In other words.
The size of this batch of Japanese fleet was dozens of troop transports, 6 destroyers, two light cruisers and one heavy cruiser.
The Japanese seem to have a lot of ships, but dozens of troop transport ships have basically no combat effectiveness. At most, there are two small-caliber naval guns installed on each troop transport ship, which are of no use at all.
Therefore, this batch of Japanese fleet only has 9 official warships.
One heavy cruiser, two light cruisers and six destroyers.
At most, it is only half the size of a fleet, which is nothing.
To know.
This time, in order to achieve the effect of training, the New 1st Navy Division brought all its assets.
Even the fifty U99 submarines that had just been equipped to the New First Division Navy had arrived.
In addition to the USS Midway heavy aircraft carrier, there are two Ghost-class light aircraft carriers, four Cavour-class battleships, one Fania-class battleship, and three Ghost-class light battleships...
There are also five Baltimore-class heavy cruisers and one Taranto-class heavy cruiser...
There are also 8 messy light cruisers...
There are also 16 destroyers of various types.
Except for the fifty submarines.
There are 41 serious warships of various types.
What will the Japs use to fight?
Hit him on the head?
The Japanese 9th Fleet is currently in charge of the escort mission.
Of course, not the entire fleet is being dispatched now, only half of the fleet of Japanese devils are being dispatched.
But for now, half a fleet of Japs is almost enough.
After all, this route is one that the Japanese have always taken.
From beginning to end, there were no problems.
Yoshimura Sayo, the deputy commander of the Japanese 9th Fleet, was responsible for escorting this troop transport mission.
At this moment, he is staying safely on the flagship, quietly tasting sake.
"The day of going to sea."
"It's really bland."
"Wait until we get to the storage city."
"You must have some fun."
Yoshimura Sayo stretched, looking a little bored, then yawned, feeling uncomfortable all over.
His expression at the moment seemed a little dazed.
Then he let out a long breath.
All over the body.
I feel extremely tired at this moment.
"Report!"
"Report!"
"Your Excellency, Deputy Commander!"
"An unidentified ship is suspected to have been spotted ahead!"
“Because of the fog.”
"Unable to judge friend from foe!"
"But judging by the scale, it should be quite large!"
A naval lieutenant hurried over to report.
"Nani?"
"Unidentified vessel?"
"Where did the unidentified ship come from in this place?"
"Could it be the Mei people?"
"Humph!"
"They're not slow at all."
"It bit me so quickly."
"interesting."
A cold snort came.
A look of disdain appeared on Yoshimura Sayo's lips.
He immediately sneered.
"go with!"
"Send a clear-text telegram, asking if they are Meiguo warships."
"in the case of."
"Just let them pass."
"The higher-ups have already given us a heads-up."
"As for these Mei Kingdom fleets, avoid them if you can."
"They should be going to deal with the Xia people."
"They are not our enemies."
Although Yoshimura Sayo, deputy commander of the Japanese 9th Fleet, felt dissatisfied at the moment, he did not dare to disobey the order from above.
It would be of no benefit to it if it came into conflict with these Mei people here.
After all, its current mission is to escort troop transports.
If a fight really breaks out and something goes wrong, it will be troublesome.
Although those army dogs were worthless, it would still be a trouble if they all died.
Yoshimura Sayo is an officer from a pure naval background.
The army has always been looked down upon.
To it, the Imperial Navy is the invincible existence in the world.
As for the army?
It is essentially a second-class force serving the navy.
Such a second-rate force actually has to compete with them for military funds every year?
What a presumptuous person!
Like now.
If it weren't for their naval escort, these soldiers would have been trapped in the base camp, not to mention fighting, they wouldn't even be able to leave the country.
……
the other side.
As the New 1st Division of the Navy rushed forward rapidly.
A telegram was received.
"Commander Li."
"It's a plaintext telegram from the Japs, asking if we are the Meiguo fleet."
"Commander Li, it seems these devils mistake us for the Mei people."
"The visibility is not good now, I'm afraid they can't see us clearly."
The telegraph soldier reported.
"Oh?"
"Is there such a good thing?"
Li Yunlong's eyes lit up...
He doesn't want to miss any opportunity.
Given the opportunity to reduce casualties while fighting the Japanese, Li Yunlong would naturally not be so stupid as to increase his own casualties.
This is the stupidest thing to do.
And obviously.
Li Yunlong would never do such a stupid thing.
He has his own thoughts and ideas.
The mind is very lively.
Especially at times like this.
"Give the devils a boost!"
"Just say we are the Mei Kingdom warship!"
"Let them stay there and don't move. Let our warships pass first."
"Generate electricity quickly!"
“While generating electricity.”
"Our fleet will just charge forward."
"Once we're in range."
"Don't put up with it for me, damn it."
"All naval guns open fire!"
"Blast these damned devils to death."
"All submarines will also be deployed in advance."
"After the battle begins."
"Just spread it over there."
"Damn it."
"correct."
"Put our flag away for now."
"Since the Japs think we are the Meiguo Fleet, let's pretend to be the Meiguo Fleet now."
Li Yunlong raised the corners of his mouth.
He found that he had been lucky recently.
Always find the perfect opportunity.
This made Li Yunlong feel very useful.
For a moment, the smile on the corners of his mouth increased a lot.
The whole body is filled with happiness.
Eyeballs rolled sideways.
The breathing became much more rapid.
now.
I feel quite dry mouth.
Li Yunlong has never been a pedantic person.
Naturally, he would be happy if he could kill the Japanese with minimal casualties.
After the telegram from the New 1st Division Navy was sent.
The Japanese also got the news soon.
"Insanity!"
"idiot!"
"Should we stop and let them pass first?"
"Humph!"
"Arrogant Mei people!"
"If it weren't for the repeated orders from above, we wouldn't be able to offend the Mei people now."
"This commander can destroy them directly!"
"How can they be so arrogant here?"
The Japanese deputy commander Yoshimura Sayo looked very unhappy.
At this moment, I feel like I've been slapped in the face.
