Chapter 102:Invasion of Tokyo Bay

At the same time as the First Division of the Red Police Army captured Vladivostas and attacked the headquarters of the Japanese Third Army, the main ships of the Third Fleet of the Red Police Navy quietly approached the Poga Waterway at the entrance of Tokyo Bay at night.

The Poga Waterway is the first waterway out of the Pacific Ocean in front of Tokyo Bay and an important defense line for the gateway to the Japanese capital.

Entering from the Poga Waterway is Tokyo Bay.

When the Third Fleet arrived quietly, Tokyo, Japan, had not yet received information about the joint fleet.

The first troops of the Third Fleet, providing security for the advance of the main fleet, and any ships encountered along the way will be secretly controlled to ensure that the news is not leaked.

In the middle of the night, the Third Fleet, with the help of night and sea fog, quietly passed through the Puhe Waterway.

If it weren’t for the limitations of the technology of this era, the Third Fleet would not have made it so easy to get into Tokyo Bay.

After all, there is no radio, no radar, sonar and other equipment, and at night, the Japanese can not monitor in real time in the wide Poga waterway.

In addition, during the day, busy waterways, and no defensive facilities such as mines, it was easily entered by the Third Fleet.

The Third Fleet, which quietly entered Tokyo Bay, was still very careful, and the foggy weather gave the 3rd Fleet the best cover, and in the middle of the morning, the Tokyo Bay channel was in the quietest state.

In addition, the Japanese combined fleet took all the warships of the Japanese Navy, and there were only a few torpedo boats in the entire Gulf of Tokyo, and no other sea ships that could fight.

The Third Fleet into Tokyo Bay did not go directly in the direction of Tokyo, but after entering Tokyo Bay, it ran directly to Yokosuka.

Yokosuka is the largest port in the Far East today, and its military port is much larger than Vladivostol, the site of the Russian Pacific Fleet, and is one of the few natural deep-water ports in Japan.

Located on the east bank of the entrance of Tokyo Bay on the island of Japan, the port of Yokosuka is connected to the north, and the eastern shore of the city of Yokosuka is bordered by the south and the port. The conditions in the port are unique in terms of berthing facilities, ship repair capabilities, oil and ammunition storage equipment and troop rest facilities, which have the various conditions required for the naval base, and are also the site of the first shipyard of the Japanese Navy.

Although the Japanese Navy during this period, all the main warships were ordered in European countries, but Japan has been developing its own shipbuilding capabilities.

Cultivating skilled shipbuilders is a necessary condition for Japan to purchase every warship order in Europe, learn from European countries advanced shipbuilding technology, and develop its own shipbuilding industry.

Forty years ago, Japan during the Edo shogunate built the first shipyard in Yokosuka, and nearly half a century has passed since then, and the real Japanese first shipyard "Yokosuka Naval Factory" was expanded and built in Yokosuka the previous year.

The current Yokosuka Naval Yard already has the ability to build armored cruisers and battleships, giving Japan the ability to develop its own powerful navy.

And because of the existence of the Yokosuka naval factory, the port of Yokosuka has become the largest naval base in Japan, where all the warships of the Japanese Combined Fleet are repaired and repaired, and most of the warships in the joint fleet except battleships and cruisers are also built here.

Yokosuka, the headquarters of the Japanese Navy fleet, is also the most important part of the arching capital Tokyo, the Tokyo Defense Fortress Command is located in Yokosuka, and stationed a lot of army units.

At this time, Yokosuka was not a city, not many civilians lived in, but a fortress, with a large number of barracks, and a professional naval academy, and a fort on the base of the coastal commanding heights.

Although the current Yokosuka does not have the huge scale of World War II, nor does it have the style of the first naval base in the Far East after World War II, but it has begun to take industrial scale, and with this place, the Japanese Navy may have the possibility of rest and recuperation.

Yokosuka's strike necessity, measured tactically, exceeds Tokyo.

Fan Yize could not see the background of Japan's Yokosuka, nor could he see the factory that Japan had worked so hard to build, destroyed the joint fleet, and then put out the last bit of the Japanese Navy's fire of hope, just a carry-on thing.

The fleet at night slowly approached Yokosuka, while the Japanese Navy and Army and fort defense in Yokosuka remained relaxed.

Although Japan does not yet know the intelligence of the combined fleet, the Japanese government knows that the Russian Second Pacific Fleet is heading in the direction of Vladivostok.

The army has deployed too many troops in North Korea and Siberia, in fact, in Yokosuka here, the Japanese army has a commando unit stationed, and most of the naval barracks are empty.

There were precautions, but the rank was not high, and most of the Japanese defenders in the Yokosuka Fortress were sleeping.

No one would think that Yokosuka would be attacked, most of them relaxed, and their hearts were concerned with the news of the combined fleet.

As the Third Fleet entered the range of Yokosuka, a few latent Red Guard soldiers, carrying radio stations, prepared to guide the gun's attack, kilometer away from the six main taro stations of Yokosuka.

Three fearless first-class battleships, close to the distance of about six kilometers from Yokosuka, vaguely can see the lights of the Yokosuka Naval Factory, the Yokosuka Naval Factory at night, is still busy.

The roar of the guns broke out on the sea, and a large number of Japanese workers in the shipyard stopped their work.

“Shan, have you heard the gun?”

“I hear you, but where’s the gunfire coming from?”

A few seconds later, the sound of the cannons roared, and the howling of shells falling in the sky completely broke the tranquility of the shipyard.

Workers in shipyards looked up, and the sky was dragging down the cannonballs, clearly visible, and the Japanese shipyard workers who had never experienced this kind of thing were all overwhelmed.

The roaring shells fell, the violent explosion rang around the forts around Yokosuka, the huge explosion of Tokyo and the fire, so that Yokosuka completely woke up, tens of thousands of Japanese shipyard workers, as well as the college students and soldiers, from the bed.

The fierce artillery fire shook the entire Tokyo Bay, and even Yokohama could hear the explosion from Yokosuka.

In Yokosuka's six forts, one Japanese soldier was too late to wear it and was in a hurry to prepare for the fight.

The Russians attacked, which was the first thought in the minds of all Japanese, and all that remained was a fight back.

Yokosuka, which has six steel-reinforced concrete forts, has the power to return to the assailer's feathers.
