"Has the Japanese's First and Second Fleet finally moved?”
The second piece of information was about the movements of the Japanese fleet.
In order to intimidate Zhang Xiaoliu and show off their strength, the two elite Japanese fleets formed a joint fleet and prepared to transport the 8th division of the Japanese to Yingkou.
The Japanese showed off their muscles for Mao Xiong.
The Japanese had always suspected that Mao Xiong was the one who destroyed the Third Fleet.
In order to prevent Mao Xiong from jumping out to take the peach after they took down the four eastern provinces, the Japanese mobilized two fleets and told Mao Xiong that other than the Third Fleet, they had absolute naval power.
Other than that, they were also worried that if the First and Second Fleet acted alone, they would be attacked by Mao Xiong's secret weapon again.
"The Japanese's First and Second Fleet are at Yujin Port?”
Tang Hanming was stunned when he saw the message.
As everyone knew, the mother port of the Japanese fleet was usually Sakura Harbor, or Osaka or Changqi.
"After the destruction of the Third Fleet, the devils sent the First and Second Fleet to Yujin Port to guard against Mao Xiong's attack in order to investigate the reason for the destruction of the Third Fleet.”
Tang Hanming nodded.
The Third Fleet was destroyed in the Whale Ocean.
Moreover, there was no special weather in the Whale Sea that day.
The telegram before the Third Fleet was destroyed, as well as the wreckage and corpses that were salvaged, all proved that Mao Xiong had secretly deployed a powerful naval force in the Whale Sea, which was also Sea God Wai and other regions.
In the entire East Asia, other than the Japanese, what other country needed to deploy naval forces?
Nine Regions Navy? There were only a few gunboats and old-fashioned destroyer.
Therefore, the Japanese instinctively thought that Mao Xiong might attack them.
After all, the Japanese had defeated the Polar Sea Fleet and became one of the most powerful countries in the world.
However, because of this matter, Mao Xiong was ridiculed by the entire world for many years.
In addition, in the Jiuzhou region, the conflict of interest between the Japanese and Mao Xiong was very large. The Japanese felt that it was very likely that a war would break out between them.
Therefore, in order to guard against the hairy bear, the Japanese had dropped their fleet near the whale sea. Once they discovered the hairy bear's secret weapon, they would immediately take action.
However, after half a month, there was still no result.
As time passed, the two Japanese fleets had no choice but to be sent out again. After all, Yujin Port was not a traditional naval port. A lot of supplies had to be transferred from Sakura City and other regions, and the consumption was quite high.
After the 1st and 2nd Squadron completed their escort mission, they would return to Changqi and could head north at any time to enter the Whale Sea.
"That's good. Let the Japanese's first and second fleets stay in the Whale Sea!”
Tang Hanming smiled.
The 3rd Battalion was killed by him and he received 560,000 military merits.
The 1st and 2nd fleets were definitely larger than the 3rd fleet.
Perhaps the names of these two fleets were very unfamiliar, but in the future, everyone would remember their names.
The alliance fleet.
The Japanese called the fleet formed by the two fleets the Combined Fleet.
Ten years later, this fleet would commit all kinds of crimes in East Asia.
The 1st and 2nd fleets had already taken shape.
The 1st Fleet consisted of Nagato, Luao, Ise, Yamashiro, Fuso, and Hyuga.
They were also equipped with five heavy cruisers, the Ancient Eagle, the Yi Li, Maya, Atang, and Myoko.
Apart from that, there were also a bunch of frigates.
It could be said that among all the Japanese fleets, it was the fleet with the largest number of battleships.
The second fleet was a heavy patrol fleet.
There were also a few battleships, Hiei, Hazel, and an aircraft carrier, Fengxiang.
Other than that, there were a large number of light cruisers and destroyer.
The two fleets added up to a total of about 600,000 tons.
Even if the Third Fleet was not destroyed, this number was more than half of the total weight of the Japanese Navy.
Such a large fleet was a huge burden for the Japanese.
Therefore, the Japanese were determined to take over the four eastern provinces.
The main reason for landing at Yingkou was to deter Zhang Xiaoliu. After they killed Tang Hanming, Zhang Xiaoliu would immediately go north and reoccupy the Four Eastern Provinces.
Through this series of movements of the Japanese troops, one could see the ambition of the Japanese.
Tang Hanming held a detailed report of the Japanese fleet in his hand.
He thought for a moment and decided on a strategy.
It was impossible for his fleet to hide in the dark forever. Sooner or later, it would be exposed.
It was not very likely for him to rely on his own fleet to completely devour the huge Japanese fleet.
However, this time, they would definitely make the Japanese navy's strength regress by 20 or even 30 years!
In this way, the initiative of the situation would be completely in his hands.
"Tell Liu Luori that this time, the main targets are the Japanese battleships and heavy cruisers. Leave the rest of the smaller ships to the Victorious and Conqueror!”
"Yes, sir!"
Victory and Conqueror were the names of Tang Hanming's two Iowa-class battleships.
The other six were named after the city.
