On the morning of June 21, 1841, Nemuro Naval Port, Hokkaido Island.
The main battleships of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Empire Navy, including all the battleships and aircraft carriers, were assembled in this naval port.
Admiral Kuznetsov, the commander of the fleet, got up early. Looking at the warships moored at the dock, he was also very excited.
Although the Pacific Fleet had been warned that they were about to face the siege of the Orientals and the Lighthouse People. However, Admiral Kuznetsov believed that it would not take much time for them to have the strength to fight back.
At that time, the arrogant Orientals and Lighthouse People will pay a heavy price for their shameless behavior.
"Report, Your Excellency the Commander, our intelligence personnel reported that the Oriental fleet has left the Yokosuka Naval Port. They are likely on the way to attack us!" Fleet Chief of Staff Major General Sergeyev looked nervous.
Admiral Kuznetsov’s face suddenly became serious.
"Order the fleet to set sail immediately, leave the naval port, and enter the Whale Sea according to the predetermined plan! All warships, all enter the air defense combat mode. In addition, all airports on Hokkaido Island are also prepared for air defense operations!" Admiral Kuznetsov ordered. 03
The Pacific Fleet of the Russian Empire Navy has long formulated a plan to deal with the sneak attacks of the Japanese Empire Navy and the Lighthouse Navy.
According to the plan, they will not go head-to-head with the Japanese and the Lighthouse people at this time, but evacuate Hokkaido Island to preserve their strength. After the Northern Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet arrive, they will have a decisive battle with the Japanese and the Lighthouse people.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Commander!" Major General Sergeyev immediately went to make arrangements.
Soon, the warships of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Empire Navy began to leave the naval port.
"The Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse People has already left the Xiawei Islands in advance. It seems that they are really going to launch an attack!" Admiral Kuznetsov said.
A series of intelligence has confirmed that the Orientals and the Lighthouse People are ready to take action.
Under such circumstances, they are undoubtedly in danger. 、
Fortunately, the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy has been in a state of combat readiness. After Admiral Kuznetsov’s order was issued, the entire fleet was able to take action immediately.
The huge fleet quickly left the Nemuro Naval Port and prepared to bypass Hokkaido Island and enter the Whale Sea. Next, the entire Pacific Fleet will be active in the Whale Sea, relying on the shore-based aviation wing of the Russian Empire Navy to deal with the Orientals and the Lighthouse People, waiting for the arrival of the Northern Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet.
Once the reinforcements arrive, the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Empire Navy will not have to fear the Orientals and the Lighthouse People.
The Whale Sea is 1,500 kilometers long from north to south and more than 700 kilometers wide from east to west. Although it cannot be compared with the vast Pacific Ocean, it is not small. Once the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Empire Navy maintains radio silence and enters the Whale Sea. At the same time,Even if they were supported by shore-based aviation, the Japanese Navy and the Lighthouse Navy might not be able to find them. Even if they knew that the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Empire Navy was in the Whale Sea, would they dare to go deep into it and fight a decisive battle with the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Empire Navy?
The thousands of shore-based aircraft of the Russian Empire Navy were enough to severely damage or even bury the Japanese Navy and the Lighthouse Navy.
On the afternoon of June 21, the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet and the Lighthouse Navy Pacific Fleet met in the designated waters south of the Aleutian Islands.
Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, commander of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet, took a landing craft to the flagship Lexington battlecruiser of the Lighthouse Navy Pacific Fleet, and met with Admiral Hasben Kimmel, commander of the Lighthouse Navy Pacific Fleet.
"Commander, the confluence of our two powerful fleets indicates that no country’s navy in the entire Pacific Ocean can pose a threat to us. Next, we will soon be able to defeat the Russians and win this battle." Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto was very excited. A brilliant victory seemed to be about to be achieved.
Admiral Hasben Kimmel nodded repeatedly.
After the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Navy and the Combined Fleet of the Eastern Empire Navy joined together, they did have the strength to roam the Pacific Ocean. This makes their chances of success in the next action very high.
"Sir Yamamoto, although we already have an absolute advantage. However, we cannot take it lightly. The Russians’ shore-based aircraft are still very powerful. Their air force has also deployed a large number of fighters on Hokkaido Island." Admiral Hasben Kimmel reminded. (To read the most exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
General Isoroku Yamamoto nodded: "Your Excellency the Commander can rest assured that when we attack the Nemuro Naval Port, the Imperial Army Air Force will also dispatch a large number of fighters to attack the airport on Hokkaido Island. By then, the Russian Air Force will be too busy to take care of itself and will not pose a threat to us at all!"
"That would be the best. It seems that we will be able to celebrate our victory soon!" Admiral Hasben Kimmel was smiling.
In the case that the anti-Russian alliance has been defeated repeatedly and the morale of the entire alliance has been greatly hit, if they can destroy the Pacific Fleet of the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy. Then, this will definitely be a great encouragement for the entire anti-Russian alliance. And they will also become heroes of the anti-Russian alliance, and their subsequent careers will be smooth sailing.
On the evening of June 21, after nightfall, the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet and the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Kingdom Navy advanced towards Hokkaido Island under the cover of darkness.
On the aircraft carriers, ground crews began to refuel the aircraft and mount ammunition to prepare for the next battle.
The Japanese Navy’s consular fighters, Type 99 carrier-based bombers and Type 96 carrier-based attack aircraft, are ready for battle.
The F4F fighters, SBD2 dive bombers and TBD torpedo bombers of the Lighthouse Navy are also ready for battle.
Once dawn, the Navy of the Eastern Empire and the Navy of the Lighthouse will take off a large number of carrier-based aircraft and head straight for the Nemuro Naval Port.
At the same time, in the northern part of Honshu Island, the homeland of the Eastern Empire, the various airports of the Eastern Empire Army Air Force are also ready. According to the agreement, the Eastern Empire Army Air Force will dispatch a large number of fighters on the morning of June 22 to attack the airports of the Tsarist Russian Empire Air Force and the Navy’s shore-based aviation on Hokkaido Island.
It can be said that such a meticulous plan is absolutely foolproof in the eyes of the Easterners and the Lighthouse people. .
