Chapter 14 Majuro Air Battle (2)

When Zhang Wei, Han Qingxuan and Soong Mei-ling arrived at the dock of the Naval Base, they were immediately shocked by the huge warships anchored in the base.

Where can I see such a spectacular scene in China? Soong Mei-ling sighed. A Tang Empire, which had just been established for several years, could have such a huge naval fleet, and the naval power of the Republic of China government, which manages the huge China, was less than the tonnage of several aircraft carriers.

They are all Chinese people, so why is the gap so big?

At this time, just when Zhang Meng gave the most passionate speech, tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison.

"I will win! I will win! I will win!"

The entire naval base was filled with shouts of victory, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

Han Qingxuan looked at Zhang Meng, who was on the height of the aircraft carrier bridge from afar, jumped up excitedly, waved her snow-white and slender arms, and shouted Zhang Meng's name loudly.

Seeing this, Zhang Wei and Soong Mei-ling, the two girls beside her, shook their heads and smiled bitterly. How could they hear that far away?

"Set off!"

With an order, all the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty Royal Navy's First Aircraft Carrier Battle Group shouted loudly and entered their respective posts.

"Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-"

Nearly a hundred combat ships of various types and logistics support ships rang out their whistles.

The winch twisted, making a squeaking metal friction sound, and the iron anchor weighing dozens of tons was slowly pulled up from the silt and sand at the bottom of the harbor.

Three whistles sounded, and ships came out one after another.

Han Qingxuan was in a little depressed after not seeing Zhang Meng.

"Don't worry Qingxuan, your brother A Meng will return triumphantly soon. Our Tang Dynasty has a great chance of winning this battle. The question is whether to wipe out the Japanese joint fleet or damage it severely. We are actually sure to win."

Han Qingxuan didn't understand military affairs. But she also knew the strength of the Japanese joint fleet. She immediately covered her mouth with her hands and made a big profit with her eyes, looking very surprised.

Even Soong Mei-ling, who was beside her, could not hide her shock. She saw that Zhang Wei's expression was not as simple as comfort, but was full of confidence. Considering the relationship between Zhang Wei and Han Qingxuan, this was definitely not just a statement.

Is the Tang Empire really so powerful?

This is simply unbelievable.

However, Soong Mei-ling quickly remembered that the Japanese Navy had sent a powerful fleet to expedition the Tang Empire, but it was completely wiped out. The outside world has always believed that the Japanese army was arrogant and neglected to guard against it. It was only after being attacked by the Tang army's submarine group and was wiped out. But now the main force of the Japanese joint fleet is dispatched this time, so it must be strictly guarded, and Zhang Wei is still so confident. The problem is not that simple.

Why can they defeat the Japanese Combined Fleet?

Could it be those four aircraft carriers?

With just one sentence from Zhang Wei and her keen judgment, Soong Mei-ling quickly locked the key to victory on the four aircraft carriers of Tang Jun.

But after all, she is still limited by the times, and she cannot imagine that an aircraft carrier can defeat the battleship. Therefore, she is still suspicious at this moment.

Above the bridge of the aircraft carrier of the Chiguo Tianwang. Zhang Meng learned through the guard commander Yang Yi that Zhang Wei had brought Han Qingxuan and Soong Mei-ling into the base.

From the telescope, Zhang Meng saw Han Qingxuan's slim figure and the beautiful face like a human in the painting, and couldn't help but feel moved.

It turns out that he is a man's killer. Even though Zhang Meng was mentally prepared and had seen Han Qingxuan's photos, he was still shocked by her beauty when he saw the real person.

It is an innate natural beauty, pure and pure as if it is not as good as the world's fireworks.

"This is our future princess! She is as beautiful as a fairy!"

"Wow. It's so pleasing to the eye!"

"Is this still going to make people live? I'll take a look at the future princess. I really don't dare to face my aunt."

...

Zhang Meng was stunned when he heard this, leaned over and looked down, but was shocked.

From then on, the fences on the decks of the entire island were crowded with officers and soldiers watching the fun. They were crowded with each other and occupied a good position, and the telescopes were thrown around and fought forever.

If they could describe their expression at this time, perhaps only the saliva is almost wet.

"These guys are really rude and dare to offend the Crown Princess! Your Highness, I will teach them a lesson and let them have a long memory!"

"Let them go this time! I am not the Crown Princess, so it is not a question of offending or not. The naval officers and soldiers have worked hard in the past few years. Now that the war is imminent, it is rare to find a fun to make them happy and relax."

Zhang Meng smiled bitterly and shook his head, waved his hand to stop Yang Yi.

At this time, Li Haichen also heard the noise and walked over from the rear bridge. After asking clearly, he immediately came to Zhang Meng.

"The day when Your Highness returns in triumphantly is also the time for wedding nights. It is a blessing to you. I am here to congratulate Your Highness in advance!"

"I borrow your auspicious words!"

Zhang Meng smiled slightly, but there was more expectation in his heart. A pure and beautiful girl like Han Qingxuan is afraid that no man doesn’t want to possess her.

Zhang Meng only hopes that when he returns back in triumph, he can face Han Qingxuan with his true self.

However, Zhang Meng did not dare to expect too much. It was difficult for fish and bear paw to have both, and he was mentally prepared to lose this woman that moved him.

"Report, the latest information comes from the Silver Carp submarine!"

Zhang Meng and Li Haichen looked at each other and immediately rushed to the war room.

In the conference room, senior officers from various departments of the fleet gathered around a large flat chart. Several staff officers placed models of warships only a few centimeters long on the chart, including Japanese battleships, cruisers, destroyers, aircraft carriers, and various auxiliary ships. Whenever the latest information comes, they adjust the positions of the ships of the Japanese Combined Fleet, so that the fleet commanders such as Zhang Meng and Li Haichen can clearly grasp the dynamics of the entire Japanese Navy at a glance.

When the staff officers placed all the warship models of the First Aircraft Carrier Battle Group of the Tang Dynasty Royal Navy on a huge nautical chart, a combat staff officer began to introduce possible routes of the enemy and our fleet and the possible supply locations along the way.

"According to the information we have, after the Japanese Joint Fleet set off from the local area, they were resupplied in Naha and Tainan. Judging from their supply situation, the Japanese Joint Fleet's tamasu self-sustaining power should be about half a month and the food self-sustaining power should be about one month."

"Currently, the next supply station of the Japanese fleet is located in Majuro Atoll in the Japanese Marshall Islands, which is the last supply station for the Japanese army to attack our Tang Dynasty."

"How long will it take for them to reach Majuro?"

"Judging from the current speed of the Japanese Joint Fleet, it takes about three days, during which time they will make up for one day and then enter my absolute defense circle."

Li Haichen said: "If we can launch an air strike while the Japanese Combined Fleet was replenishing supplies to Majuro, it may directly damage them and even destroy them outside our Tang Dynasty's absolute defense circle."

Li Jianhui said cautiously: "The Japanese army will definitely take strict precautions when replenishing supplies. At the same time, there is a simple airport on Majuluo Atoll, with a Japanese reconnaissance aircraft squad stationed on it. They are always reconnaissance of our fleet. They are large land-based reconnaissance aircraft. Our FC-1 torpedo reconnaissance aircraft are not far away from them, and they will discover it first and our intentions."

Zhang Meng said at this time: "We are going to attack the Marshall Islands. According to the schedule, we will arrive at Majuro Atoll before the Japanese fleet."

Zhao Changzhi immediately said worriedly: "Your Highness, according to the information we have, the Japanese army has been operating on the Majuluo Atoll for more than ten years, built various fortifications on it, and stationed a whole squad of Japanese devils. Our fleet took the initiative to fight against the Japanese army this time, and it seems that there is no Marine Corps. How can we attack Majuluo?"

Zhang Meng smiled mysteriously and said, "You don't have to worry about this. As early as three days ago, I had secretly sent a transport fleet to set out before the main force of the fleet."

It turned out that Zhang Meng knew that the Japanese reconnaissance opportunity was to conduct reconnaissance on various Tang troops. He deliberately placed the fleet in the naval base, causing the illusion of being stationary. At the same time, he used a transport fleet to secretly transport the First Marine Division out of the Tang Dynasty. They sailed towards the United States for two days first. Since the soldiers were hiding in containers, the Japanese reconnaissance plane thought it was cargo transported to the United States.

The transport fleet will turn southwest in two days, avoiding the southern airspace that the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft is focusing on surveillance, and will arrive in Majuro at the same time as the Tang army aircraft carrier battle group.

At this time, an adjutant next to Zhang Meng opened the folder and announced one of the information: "According to the report of the First Marine Division, they have not found Japanese reconnaissance aircraft in the past few days. The submarine report responsible for monitoring the Majuro Atoll, the Japanese army did not send ground defense forces to Majuro, and everything was as usual there. Therefore, it can be determined that the Japanese army has not discovered our intentions, otherwise they will definitely strengthen their defense."

"Okay, now we have a whole land warrior on standby, and the ground battle will be left to them. Let's discuss the air strike of Majuro. Whether we can suddenly capture Majuro and whether we can destroy the supply station of the Japanese Navy is crucial to whether we can win this war."

"Don't worry, Your Highness!" Li Jianhui immediately promised: "I personally lead the bomber formation and promise to call my father and mother the Japanese bombing on the Majuluo Atoll. The Marine Corps just landed on the island and took over the ready-made one."

Zhao Changzhi also immediately said: "I will lead the fighter aircraft formation to provide escort and landing cover to ensure the success of seizing Majuluo Atoll."

"Very good! You are carefully studying the specific actions and taking into account any possibilities."

"yes!"

Everyone accepted the order in unison and their morale was as strong as a rainbow.
