The sinking of the battleship Musashi had a huge impact on the Japanese Navy. This was the second ship of the Yamato-class battleship of the Japanese Navy during World War II. It is also one of the largest battleships in human history, with a full displacement of 70,000 taels. More than one thousand eight hundred tons.

The main guns are nine 460mm naval guns, firing 1,460kg armor-piercing shells, with a range of 42,000 meters, there are six 155mm naval guns, 24 100 The 27mm naval gun has unprecedented firepower.

In particular, this battleship is equipped with a total of seven surveying and reconnaissance aircraft, and ten internal fireboats, transportation boats and motor boats.

The most proud of the Japanese Navy is the Yamato-class battleship, known as the unsinkable battleship. Only two Yamato Musashi were put into service, and the third ship was converted into the Shinano aircraft carrier, which was just launched soon.

The Shinano aircraft carrier is currently the world's largest aircraft carrier, with a full load displacement of more than 72,800 tons, and is also the world's shortest-lived aircraft carrier. It was sunk by a U.S. submarine after more than ten hours of sea trials.

"Up to now, the combined fleet has four aircraft carriers Amagi, Hayabusa, Ryuho, and Fengxiang. The speed is either too low or the training ship, but at the moment even the carrier-based aircraft are not enough."

"For the sake of the empire, the navy has made its utmost efforts. At the beginning, the base camp also wanted to make the front fleet headquarters as a transfer station for the retreat of the combined fleet. Now everything is over. In China's front fleet, at most it is land combat. Ability." Nakajima said in frustration.

The navy can fight without a surface fleet, so what use is the navy?

This is the devastating blow to the Japanese navy caused by the Battle of Wright Bay. From now on, the navy no longer exists as a strategic force in Japan's military power, but has become an auxiliary force of the army.

In addition to the fleet headed by the Yamato battleship to ensure the safety of Japan’s inland waters, the other thing to do is to use your own ships to help the army transport all kinds of materials, weapons and ammunition, and organize the Kamikaze task force to launch an assault on the US army. Can't do it.

"If the U.S. military gains an advantage in ground battles in the Philippines, it will inevitably make further attacks on the mainland. The next target is two, one is the Ogasawara Islands where Iwo Jima is located, and the other is Okinawa, occupying these two places. , The entire homeland is wide open, and there is no longer the ability to intercept US attacks." Ichiro Ohno said.

"Now that I know this, the base camp must have strengthened its defenses, right? Taking advantage of the fierce battle between the US army and the 14th Front Army of the Philippine Greenbin, hurry up and build fortifications and reserve supplies to fight a war of attrition for the US army?" Chen Mingxiang said .

"Chen Jun, you are not a soldier, and you have not received formal military education. Things are far from as simple as you think. The navy does not have surface ships to block the U.S. Navy, which is tantamount to cutting off the maritime transportation channel. How to compensate for the loss of personnel? "

"Air transportation is also not feasible. The United States has a large number of aircraft carriers, and carrier-based aircraft alone can also play a deadly threat. This local war is probably inevitable." Ichiro Ohno shook his head and said.

The four generals and officers of the Marine Corps drank in Villa Mara until dawn and left in a depressed mood. Wang Meilin, who had been guarding in the living room, was shocked.

Of course she overheard some of the conversation, but when she thought it was better to hear it than not, and thinking about the terrible results in the future, she felt cold.

Never imagined that the empire that I was proud of had reached such a dangerous level. The combined fleet of the Imperial Navy, which was once the most powerful fleet in the world, is now all played, only the Yamato battleship is alone. .

"It's really troublesome. Yokoyama's 11th Army began to pinch the headquarters of the Sixth Front. This kind of person staying in the dispatch army really gives me a headache!" Matsui Takuro said.

In view of the defeat of the Japanese navy in the Battle of Wright Bay, some plans for the dispatch of troops also needed to be adjusted, so he went to the headquarters of the 13th Army to coordinate coastal defense work. Pull the villa and sit down.

Chen Mingxiang and Nagatsusa are also acquaintances, but they don't have many contacts. This time Matsui Taikuro came with him, which deepened the relationship between the two sides.

"Yokoyama has to look at his veteran status. General Ningji Okamura is afraid that he won't eat him. What happened to him?" Nagatsu asked with a heavy smile.

"General Gangcun’s intention was to encircle and wipe out the main force of the Shancheng government army in Guizhou City, but he transferred the third and thirteenth divisions to Liuzhou to participate in the 23rd Army. Commander Yokoyama strongly supported, and the Chief of Staff Sadatake Zhongshan pushed forward, and immediately messed up the plan of the Sixth Front Army Command."

"The staff of the 11th Army Command, Kumao Imoto, who has just been transferred to senior staff, Kumazu Masada, operational staff, Mitsuo Takeuchi, intelligence staff, and Osamu Maeyao, logistics staff, are all the same. The bastard who treats military orders like a child's play!"

"On Monday, Lieutenant General Miyazaki, the chief of staff of the Sixth Front, and Major General Masaichi Amano, the deputy chief of staff, in a message sent to the dispatch army headquarters, swearing at Yokoyama and Nakayama Sadatake, as well as the group of staff." Matsui Takuro said with a wry smile.

According to the plan, the 58th Division of the Japanese Army, which attacked the north gate of Guizhou City, captured the village near the railway station outside the north gate on November 1st, attacked the 40th Division of the East Gate, and captured Guizhou City on the same day. In several villages ten miles away from Edong, the 37th Division arrived in the southwest of Gongcheng the same morning.

Ce Ying attacked the Third Division of Guizhou City and the 13th Division, which attacked the south gate of Guizhou City, reached the area south of Guizhou City on the same day.

Seeing that a big encirclement is about to be formed, the lie about encircling the Shancheng government forces in the fourth theater of the local area is about to unfold, but the 11th Army Headquarters privately changed its plan and made a roundabout combat plan. First, we must take Liuzhou down. .

"General Gangmura's military governance is very strict. He categorically does not allow this to happen. This is in contempt for the authority of the front army headquarters and an offense to him as a commander. It is a typical act of following the law." Nagatsu said. .

"General Gangcun ordered the 11th Army Headquarters to revoke this combat plan, but Yokoyama and a group of staff members refused, and once again reiterated the necessity of attacking Liuzhou, and also questioned the Front Army Headquarters, the original combat plan and the current combat plan. The situation is different, and the 23rd Army did not rush to Guizhou City as scheduled to cooperate with the 11th Army. How can this plan be implemented?" Matsui Takuro said.
