-Manchuria-
"Run quickly! The Soviets are coming!"
Soldiers are frantically evacuating residents.
Boom!!
The shells landed in the middle of the crowd, creating a horrific scene that was impossible to watch. The fact that the Soviet Union had declared war on the Empire of Japan soon became known to the United States and Great Britain.
On this day, all the Allied nations were confident of victory. However...
This is the Musashi observation plane. We've confirmed the enemy artillery positions. You go ahead and do the rest."
"Yamato bridge understands. Main gun Type 3 shells, commence firing!"
The support fleet led by Yamato arrived just in time and began fighting the first wave of Soviet troops. The bombardment was carried out with Type 3 anti-aircraft shells, but they were packed with a large amount of gunpowder. The first volley of shells engulfed about 30% of the Soviet forces in flames. With the support of the task force, centered on Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, and Hiryu, which had made their name in the attack on Pearl Harbor, they were able to repel the Soviet forces.
-Moscow-
"Why? Why should we have to fight such a hard battle against these mere Asian monkeys? Is this going to be a repeat of the Russo-Japanese War?"
Stalin decided to deploy half of his military forces to the front line against Japan. A large Russian fleet was approaching Japan...
- Kiribati, a few hundred kilometers south of Hawaii
This was America's main fleet, which had moved from the European front to the Pacific.
"Listen guys! We lost many brave warriors and ships in Hawaii. We would have been planning our operations in Hawaii by now, but now we are in a state where we can barely enter the port. For the sake of our allies, we cannot lose. We will definitely win!"
A huge threat was looming over Japan.
"Chief! We've received an emergency signal from the submarine."
Suddenly an officer came into my room.
"What?"
"A submarine on patrol off the coast of the Indian Ocean has reported that 40 enemy surface vessels have been identified, including 12 battleships, 6 large aircraft carriers, 2 small aircraft carriers, 10 heavy cruisers, and over 50 light cruisers and destroyers. It appears to be a combined fleet of the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom."
"I never thought that two countries that don't get along would join forces. Their interests coincided when they declared war on Germany."
"Chief, how may I help you?"
"Of course we will intercept them. Send the forces headed to Manchuria to support them immediately, including all the forces remaining in Sasebo. In addition, the aircraft carrier force should head to Nagasaki at once. Apparently 800 new fighter planes are waiting there."
"I got it"
The Imperial Japanese Navy's aircraft carrier force has gained a great deal of power. They have the world's best fighter planes and the strongest pilots. The aircraft carrier is equipped with the new Suisei bomber, Tenzan torpedo bomber, and Zero Fighter Type 52A, giving it sufficient fighting power. And, although it is top secret, they have also begun developing a jet fighter.
