Republic of China game

Admiral MacArthur was still smoking his signature corncob pipe, greeted him with a smile, and gave a military salute to his students.And Luo Yaoguo also returned the salute solemnly, and the Marshal smiled and said to his former teacher in English: "Mr. General, we are finally allies now." MacArthur smiled and replied: "Fortunately, we are not enemies, otherwise this world war will be inevitable." The fight continued endlessly." Then the four hands of the two men were firmly held together, and the flashlights of the surrounding military reporters from China and the United States also flashed together, recording this scene forever.

After the brief but solemn welcome ceremony, Luo Yaoguo issued a brief statement in public. He said: "Today, March 1940, 3, is a great moment. The two largest democracies in the world, the Republic of China and the The United States of America has finally stood together for a common goal! This goal is to completely defeat the Japanese militaristic forces that threaten the peace and security of the Pacific region, and restore peace and tranquility to the entire world! Starting today, tens of millions are fully armed and equipped with the most advanced weapons and equipment , the army that has undergone the most severe training will fight side by side! Those ferocious enemies armed to the teeth will tremble in front of the blue sky and white sun flag and the Stars and Stripes, because there is only one result waiting for them, which is complete destruction! Victory will definitely belong to China and the American…”

……

In Washington, the White House, the content of Luo Yaoguo's statement was sent to President Roosevelt by telegram immediately, and long-lost laughter rang out in the Oval Office.Roosevelt waved the telegram in his hand, and said with a smile: "I don't know what Mr. Hitler's expression is now?" He pointed to Hopkins on the opposite side and said: "Harry, it seems that this time the United States has achieved a major diplomatic achievement." victory."

Hopkins shrugged his shoulders, and muttered: "Yes, but the price is very high." Having said that, Hopkins is still very pleased with Luo Yaoguo's statement that is obviously beneficial to the United States. satisfied.Because the war between the United States and Germany has reached its current level, everyone knows that it is unrealistic to completely eliminate each other (China will not agree).So, through the matchmaking of the Russian Empress Anastasinia, negotiations between the virtues have begun in secret!And China's attitude towards the United States at this time is obviously very beneficial to the United States.

Roosevelt smiled slightly, picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip: "As long as the United States can be saved, such a price is nothing at all!" As he spoke, he glanced at Marshall beside Hopkins: "George, what do you think? Is it possible for us to launch a campaign to retake Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands in two months? Only by getting the Nazis out of America can we get a decent peace from the Germans."

Speaking of this, Roosevelt's tone has cooled down: "What about the 2960 billion gold mark reparations, and the cession of Puerto Rico and the Panama Canal... The United States is absolutely unacceptable! If the United States accepts such a peace, then she is close to extinction The day is not far away!"

Marshall's expression also became serious, he nodded slightly, and replied: "Mr. President, the Army Staff Department and the Naval Operations Department have jointly studied the possibility of recovering Puerto Rico. We believe that this possibility exists, but the premise It is necessary to severely damage the combined fleet of Germany and Italy!" He took a deep breath and emphasized his tone: "But the strength of our fleet and the free British fleet is far inferior to that of the combined fleet of Germany and Italy. If we want to severely damage our opponents, the only way Only use atomic bombs! With 30 kilograms of weapons-grade uranium 235 purchased from China, plus our inventory and production in March, we will be able to assemble two atomic bombs by early April."

"Should the two atomic bombs be used?" Roosevelt asked, "Should we experiment?"

"There is no need for experiments." Marshall replied: "We have already bought the data of atomic bomb tests from the Chinese. If these data are true, we can ensure that the two atomic bombs go off without experiments!"

"Well, very good, 2 atomic bombs... Now the Germans will feel better!" Roosevelt was very satisfied with this answer, and he turned to look at Chief of Naval Operations Leahy: "William, how is the Navy planning to use these two atomic bombs?" ?”

Admiral Leahy stood up, went to the bookshelf beside him, took out a map of the Caribbean Sea and spread it on Roosevelt's desk. He pointed to the southernmost British colony of the West Indies, Telly Port of Spain, the capital of Dani Island, said to President Roosevelt: "Mr. President, at present the Germans have taken over the defense of Tridani Island from the London authorities, and have made Port of Spain and the Bay of Paria a joint German-Italian defense. The main anchorage of the fleet in the Caribbean. At least half of the capital ships of the German and Italian navies are moored there... The initial idea of ​​​​the Naval Operations Department is to recruit volunteers from the navy and drive two submarines loaded with atomic bombs. The two entrances of the north and the south of Yawan sneaked in, and then detonated the atomic bomb near the berth of the German and Italian fleets! According to the Navy’s estimates, the power of an atomic bomb equivalent to the explosive equivalent of 2.5 tons of TNT explosives in an underwater explosion, It is enough to destroy all ships within 3000 feet! And two such atomic bombs will be detonated in the north and south directions of the anchorage of the German and Italian fleets in Port of Spain. Go to war, and the U.S. Navy can send enough troops to Puerto Rico and occupy it."

"Wait a minute," Roosevelt seemed to have heard something wrong with Leahy's plan, and interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "What will happen to these two submarines?" The president looked at Leahy solemnly: "This operation It can't be a suicide operation, can it? Those Americans who drive the submarine..."

Leahy and Marshall glanced at each other. The plan to use atomic bombs to raid the anchorages of the German and Italian fleets was called "Operation 100 Spartans."There are two pre-selection plans for this operation. One is to tie an atomic bomb with buoys, iron anchors and timing devices to the hull of the submarine. The man cut the rope and put the atomic bomb in place.Then the submarine and the frogman escape separately...but this plan is so difficult to execute that it can only exist in adventure novels.And the other plan is a suicide attack by the entire crew of the two submarines!Although the Department of Naval Operations has not yet finalized which plan to use, considering the preciousness of the atomic bomb, almost all staff members involved in formulating the plan recommend using the suicide attack plan!

"President, in order to save the United States, someone always needs to make sacrifices." Admiral Leahy also tended to adopt a suicide plan. He thought about it and said: "If Hitler continues to control Puerto Rico, he is likely to have the atomic bomb. Finally, put it on the big cities in the United States! That will mean the death of millions of people! So if we sacrifice 100 warriors now, we will be able to save millions of people."

Marshall also nodded slightly, and he also agreed to exchange the lives of 100 Americans plus two atomic bombs for more than half of the combined German and Italian fleets.This sea force is too powerful to be confronted by the current US-British combined fleet, and the US must take back Puerto Rico before Germany possesses the atomic bomb!So we can't wait for the day when a large number of newly built ships are put into use.

"Then we can only sacrifice 100 Americans... I hope God can forgive us cruel big men." Roosevelt smiled wryly, and then said to Leahy: "William, when can the battle to recover Hawaii Island begin? I don't want that bastard Hirohito to go to Germany!"

Admiral Leahy frowned slightly: "The Chinese Pacific Fleet is already on its way to the Hawaiian Islands, including 10 aircraft carriers, 3 battleships, 5 heavy cruisers, hundreds of auxiliary ships, and 80 10-ton ships. Republic round, and [-] offensive troops. It is expected that within two weeks, they will be able to launch an offensive. Our Pacific Fleet will also launch within a week, and they will launch an offensive at the same time as the Chinese fleet."

"Two weeks," Roosevelt thought for a while, and asked again: "Is the battle plan drawn up? I don't seem to remember seeing the relevant plan."

"President, the official combat plan has not yet been formulated. The commander-in-chief of this operation, Marshal Luo Yaoguo, just arrived at the San Diego military port this morning, and the joint operations command has just begun to be formed." Admiral Lexi smiled and replied: "The Chinese This time the operation was very fast. It took less than a week to complete the mobilization of the entire fleet and 10 offensive troops, and they set off without any delay. Obviously, their desire to attack Hawaii is very strong. Hirohito is probably Doomed!"

"Oh, that would be great! If they can capture the Emperor alive, I hope to send him to the United States for trial." Roosevelt breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of expectation on his face.

……

In the Honolulu Imperial Palace, in the meeting room, around the huge sand table, Japanese army and navy generals gathered together.Admiral Yamamoto 56, the commander of the combined naval fleet, held a baton in his hand and looked a little worried. He was introducing the current battle situation to Emperor Hirohito.He certainly had reason to be concerned.As the commander of the United Fleet, he is the most clear about the current plight of the Japanese navy and the strength of the opponent.

The crisis situation of the Japanese army can be said to be clear at a glance on the sand table.Since the four large aircraft carriers overhauled in Japan could not return to the fleet, the combined fleet has completely lost its ability to fight decisively at sea.Yamato (Oahu) in the Hawaiian Islands is now their last resort.It has been a year and a few months since the Japanese army occupied Yamato Island (Oahu Island). When they captured the island, they seemed to have thought of the current predicament. The construction of various fortifications and fortresses It hasn't stopped.The 10,000+ Japanese army guarding the Hawaiian Islands is like an engineering team. After working hard for more than a year, they finally turned Yamato Island (Oahu Island) into a super fortress full of forts and dense fortifications.

As for the reserves of materials and ammunition on the island, they are also extremely rich.This was originally a transfer station for German military aid supplies. After the "North Korea atomic bomb incident" on January 1, the Japanese army realized that the mainland would eventually be lost, and even New Japan (East Australia) would fall sooner or later. The remaining materials were sent to Hawaii as much as possible, and are now stored in temporary warehouses on Yamato Island (Oahu Island). Even the streets of Honolulu and Pearl Harbor are full of people covered with canvas. Various supplies.If China and the United States plan to besiege, I am afraid that they will not achieve their goals in three to five years!

If the Chinese and American coalition forces are going to take a strong attack, then the defensive power on Yamato Island is enough to make the other party pay a very heavy price.The army on the Hawaiian Islands has now been unified into the Guards Corps, and the Minister of Army Asaka Miya Jinhiko is also the commander of the legion.The Guards Corps has 10 divisions, numbered from the 1st Guards Division to the 10th Guards Division. There is no shortage of guns.As for the heavy artillery, there are the fortresses of the navy, the remaining battleships of the combined fleet, and the naval guns of the heavy cruisers.In addition to the 20 regular army, the Japanese on the Hawaiian Islands, as long as they can take up arms, are now organized into a national volunteer team, equipped with rifles, grenades, explosives, etc., ready to use their flesh and blood The body defended the emperor to the last breath!

The remnants of the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy will be divided into two parts. All battleships and heavy cruisers (including the first-class coastal defense ships) will be concentrated near the shoals in Pearl Harbor, ready to run aground and serve as fortresses.Several surviving light aircraft carriers, as well as several former U.S. Navy battleships that were salvaged, are all ready to sink at the entrance of Pearl Harbor, so that the entire port can be blocked tightly.The remaining light cruisers, destroyers, and submarines of the United Fleet cannot participate in the tragic island offensive and defensive battles. Yamamoto 56 plans to send them to the Pacific Ocean to "fight guerrillas". In fact, they are breaking diplomatic relations, including China, the United States, and Britain. (Free Britain and the London Authority), the Far East Republic, India, and even the merchant ships of Imperial Japan's ostensible ally, the Russian Empire, were all targeted!Of course, there are five large ocean-going submarines lurking in the waters near Pearl Harbor, waiting for the call of His Majesty the Emperor at any time, but this arrangement is now top secret, except for the commanders of the five submarines, only the most trusted people around Hirohito Know.Therefore, Yamamoto 56 did not penetrate into this aspect of the arrangement in today's meeting... Right now, the Honolulu Imperial Palace and the Japanese government-in-exile are shouting the decisive battle slogan of "Jade Breaking Hawaii"!

And the last part of this "jade broken plan" is the counterattack of the Japanese army!Everyone knows that it is impossible to win a battle without fighting back. Although the Japanese army has little possibility of victory at the moment, the national character of the Japanese nation determines that even if there is a 1% possibility, they must do their best. Strength to fight for!Therefore, on the Hawaiian Islands, all Japanese army and navy aviation pilots were gathered and formed into the "Kamikaze Special Attack Corps". A total of more than 100 suicide planes will be launched to counterattack the invading Chinese and American fleets!In addition to the kamikaze aircraft that have long become the symbol of the Japanese navy, this time Yamamoto has another trump card in his hands, and that is the "Zhenyang Special Attack Motorboat".This kind of suicide weapon was secretly developed a year ago. Six months ago, the Japanese Navy secretly formed and trained the "Zhenyang Special Attack Team" in the Hawaiian Islands. It was originally planned that these suicide motorboats would be used for local decisive battles. , It’s just that no one expected that the 500 coup d’état would happen in Tokyo, making the local decisive battle come to naught.Therefore, these "Zhenyang Special Attack Teams" stayed in the Hawaiian Islands, and they were just used for the counterattack of the "Jade Broken Project".

After Yamamoto explained the plan for the decisive battle, the high-ranking Japanese troops who participated in the meeting also expressed their opinions. Most of them agreed with the decisive battle in Hawaii, but there were also opposing opinions.

"Yamamoto-kun, what if the Chinese dropped an atomic bomb on Yamato Island? We are now placing all our bets on Yamato Island, just like the North Korean army concentrated its troops in Pyongyang, Wonsan, and Busan at that time , creating the best opportunity for the Chinese Army to drop the atomic bomb.”

It was Nagata Tieshan who raised the objection. He has now been transferred to the reserve service and has become a so-called "important minister" around the emperor. Today, he came here to attend the meeting as an important minister.

Hearing this question, the Japanese generals in the conference room looked at each other, all eyes were on Yamamoto 56, as if they were asking him: "What should I do?"

Yamamoto patted the edge of the sand table table, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and his gaze was fixed on the sand table for a long time. After a long time, he took a deep breath and said decisively: "The terrain of Oahu Island is much better than that of Pyongyang, Wonsan, and Busan. Still need to open up a lot, according to the report submitted by the North Korean army. The explosive power of the atomic bomb can only spread to about 20 square kilometers of land, while Oahu Island can have more than 1500 square kilometers. And the tunnels and underground bunkers can also be well To defend against the destruction of the atomic bomb, we have built a large number of underground fortifications on the island of Oahu, and we are going to evacuate materials and reserve personnel to the Kolau Mountains and Waianai Mountains to reduce unnecessary losses." Said Here, he emphasized his tone again: "This is the only way to do it now. The empire has reached its final moment. At worst, all the jade will be broken on Yamato Island, so as to point out the direction for the local citizens who are in darkness!"

Chapter 0996 The Final Battle ([-]) Arrives

Stimulated by Hirohito's "perseverance to the death" led by Hirohito, the Japanese army in Hawaii finally began to act frantically, preparing to turn Oahu Island into their own, as well as the cemetery of tens of thousands of Chinese and American soldiers.The troops originally scattered on the various islands of the Hawaiian Islands were concentrated on Oahu, and the small and medium-sized ships of the Japanese Combined Fleet left Pearl Harbor in the dark and disappeared into the vast Pacific Ocean.The last kamikaze and Zhenyang death squads on Oahu Island also started the final crazy special training.And all the Japanese on the island, regardless of gender, age or age, were also mobilized, holding shovels and engineer shovels, rushing to repair the fortifications day and night.At the same time, the news of "Yamato Island Jade Broken" also became a series of radio waves, flew back to Japan, and sent it to the headquarters of the Defense General Army in Kyoto, and attached another stern wording issued by Emperor Hirohito Ask for a big edict from thieves.Even the war situation in Japan suddenly became tense.

At this time, at the Naval Port of San Diego on the west coast of the United States, because of the plan for the "Hawaii Campaign", I also spent sleepless nights.And Luo Yaoguo spent all day in the joint headquarters.The current battle situation seems to be somewhat beyond his expectations. In his original conception, Emperor Hirohito and those Japanese army and navy had already become frightened birds, especially under the deterrence of the atomic bomb, they simply did not have the courage to fight decisively!The Battle of Hawaii was just a show of force. The main force of the Chinese navy was pulled out and placed in front of the Japanese and Yankees, so that they could appreciate it, and then waved the atomic bomb to scare Hirohito and his ministers on Oahu Island. It is estimated that this group of frightened birds should run away... As for Yuren's life, to be honest, Luo Yaoguo didn't have much interest in it. He just tried his best to fool the Americans.But no one thought that the Emperor Hirohito was going to go all out on Oahu without knowing what medicine he had taken this time!

"...Emperor Hirohito made public appearances in various parts of Oahu Island for several days in a row, inspecting the army, giving speeches, and boosting morale. According to intelligence, the Japanese army in Hawaii is concentrating on Oahu Island. The remaining capital ships of the Japanese Combined Fleet have all withdrawn to Pearl At the same time, most of the small and medium-sized warships left the port, and it seems that there is a possibility of breaking the war. The Japanese Army’s Hawaiian troops have now been organized into the Guards Corps, and all 10 divisions under their jurisdiction are named as the Guards. , The commander is also appointed by the royal general Asakamiya Jinhiko, and the morale of the troops seems to have improved. The Japanese Army and Navy Air Force in Hawaii has now been reorganized into the Kamikaze Special Attack Corps. It claims to have 1000 suicide planes and is ready to die with our navy fleet. In addition, there is also the so-called Zhenyang special attack motorboat unit, which is ready to counterattack our landing fleet with the determination to kill and die! According to intelligence, the Japanese army on Oahu Island is fully prepared for our atomic bomb attack. All soldiers and civilians are working day and night The fortifications were repaired, tunnels were dug, and all materials had been evacuated to the Kolau Mountains and Waianai Mountains. It seemed that they were preparing to stick to Oahu for a long time!

In Japan, the headquarters of the Home Defense General Army loyal to Hirohito has also been reorganized a few days ago. The headquarters has been organized into four armies, and the troops defending Kyushu and western Japan against our army's landing are the Kyushu Army.The headquarters of the Kyushu Army is located in Wujun Port, Hiroshima County. The army has about 30 divisions under its organizational system, with a total strength of about 55. There is also a national volunteer team that claims to be 100 million!However, with poor equipment, lack of training, and extremely scarce logistical supplies, it seems that they are worthless cannon fodder troops, so there should be no concern.

The main force of Hirohito Home Defense Army is the headquarters of the Kanto Expeditionary Army. The department currently has about 45 divisions with a total strength of more than 80. The headquarters of the army is located in Kyoto, Japan, and the commander is the commander of the Japanese Defense Army. Prince Zairen concurrently.The main force of the army has been divided into two groups, advancing along the Nakayama Road in central Honshu to Yamanashi Prefecture controlled by the Tokyo side. At present, it is confronting the First Army Headquarters of the Tokyo side at the junction of Nagano and Yamanashi counties. Not active, suspected to be a diversionary attack.The other route advances along the Tōkaidō. Its vanguard is the elite Fourth Division of the Japanese army, and its commander-in-chief is the famous Japanese general Toshiichi Terauchi.The Japanese army on this route has now advanced to the front line of Mount Hakone, which is known as the gateway to the Kanto region of Japan, and fought fiercely with the First Division of Tokyo's elite troops, resulting in many casualties on both sides.According to the report of the Japanese Front Army Command, as of the night of March 3, the main position of Mount Hakone was still under the control of the First Division, and Tokyo has also urgently dispatched reinforcements to reinforce it. There should be no major problems in a short time.

In addition to the Kyushu Army and the Kwantung Crusade Army, there are two other divisions under the Japanese Defense General Army.One is the Japanese Northern Army, which has about 10 divisions under its jurisdiction, and a large number of national volunteer troops. The commander of the army is Lieutenant General Yokoyama Isamu.The main force of the army has been assembled in Toyama Prefecture in the Hokuriku region of Japan, and it seems that it is preparing to move eastward to attack the Japanese Communist Party headquarters that controls the southwest of Niigata Prefecture.The headquarters of the Japanese Communist Party has recently been recognized by the Tokyo government and has been reorganized as the Fourth Army of the Japanese Army (Tokyo side).At present, there is still a confrontation between the Northern Army (Hirohito side) and the Fourth Army (Tokyo side).

Hirohito's other division is the Northeast Defense Force of Japan. The main force is the Japanese 8th Division that was withdrawn from Sakhalin Island and the Japanese 105th Division. Sendai city in the city and county.At present, the army is still on the defensive, and there is no sign of going west to attack the Kanto.

Looking at the overall layout of the Japanese army (Yu Renfang), it seems that there is a last-ditch plan.After many rounds of familiar business, the General Staff has come to the following conclusion: The deployment focus of the Japanese army (Hirohito side) seems to have shifted to regaining local power!The purpose of the decisive battle in Hawaii should be to attract the main force of our navy and prevent our army from launching a landing operation on its rear during the decisive battle in Japan.Hirohito's overall strategy seems to be to regain the Japanese native power, while delaying the fall of Hawaii, in an attempt to wait for Germany to defeat the United States, or Germany to intervene in the Sino-Japanese war after the US-German peace talks in order to obtain the most favorable results.

Therefore, the General Staff suggested that we should increase military assistance to the new Japanese government in Tokyo, and if necessary, order the Japanese Front Army to directly intervene in the Japanese civil war, so as to cut off all illusions of the Hirohito administration.At the same time, on the Hawaiian side, the General Staff suggested the most thorough encirclement of Oahu Island and a thorough search of the surrounding waters to prevent the hidden Japanese submarine from becoming an escape tool for the Hirohito authorities!After cutting off all retreat and illusions of the Hirohito authorities, they may threaten the defenders of Oahu with the threat of an atomic bomb. "

Luo Yaoguo put down the long telegram in his hand. This is the summary of the situation and the guidance of the general staff sent by the acting chief of staff Bai Chongxi.After Bai Chongxi's analysis, it seemed that the fog surrounding the final battle had been completely cleared away, and the strategic intentions of the Japanese army (Yu Renfang) had been clearly presented to Luo Yaoguo.

However, his eyebrows became more and more furrowed, and Luo Yaoguo walked to the huge chart in the middle of the war room of the Joint Command without saying a word, looking at the Hawaiian Islands that looked like a string of pearls, and fell silent.After a long while, I looked back at Admiral Nimitz, the supreme commander of the United States, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Admiral, what do you think?"

Nimitz walked to the front of the chart table, supported the edge of the sand table with both hands, looked at the ship models on the chart that symbolized the main forces of China and the US Pacific Fleet, and was silent for a moment before saying: "Marshal, I think your country The analysis of the overall strategy of the Japanese side by the General Staff is correct. However, according to the information we have, the Japanese side has sent a group of about 500 kamikaze fighters to Germany, and they are likely to be used by Germany to send Combat operations to drop atomic bombs in the United States! Therefore, the US government needs to eliminate the spiritual leader of these kamikaze fighters, Emperor Hirohito, as soon as possible, no matter what means are used!"

Luo Yaoguo nodded slightly, approving Nimitz's proposal.This time China sent troops to the Hawaiian Islands, which meant to use people's money to eliminate disasters.It is not really a close ally with the United States, but more like a commercial partner, and the "Pacific Security Treaty" is just a commercial contract.For the Americans, they have already paid their rewards, and what the Chinese should do is to fulfill the contract and take down Hawaii as soon as possible and eliminate Hirohito!

"Okay!" After thinking for a moment, Luo Yaoguo nodded his head heavily, as if he had made his final decision: "Since the Japanese are going to retreat into Oahu Island, then let's not be polite. We might as well seize the Hawaiian Islands first." Other islands, isolate Oahu, and then use the fleet to completely block Oahu, cut off the retreat of the Hirohito government, and at the same time deploy the aircraft of the Air Force and Army Air Force to the islands near Oahu. Destroy Oahu with aerial bombing The fortifications and fortresses that the Japanese army relied on cleared the way for the landing of the army!"

"Landing?" Nimitz was slightly stunned: "Didn't the atomic bomb blow up Oahu?"

Luo Yaoguo shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. General, the atomic bomb is actually not as powerful as advertised. If we want to eliminate those Japanese rats hiding in the ground, let our National Defense Force directly land on it!" He glanced at Nimitz again: "Admiral, how many ground troops can the United States invest at most?"

"As much as you want, that's not a problem." Nimitz's answer surprised Luo Yaoguo. The American admiral thought for a while and said, "Marshal, I don't know what you know about amphibious landing operations. How much? But as far as I know, the key to capturing Oahu is not how many landing troops are invested, but the destruction of the Japanese fortresses and the five battleships that were used as forts after being stranded! I estimate those shells and battleships There are hundreds of large-caliber artillery above 14 inches. If we don’t try to destroy them, no matter how many ground troops we invest, they will only be cannon fodder! Do you know how China can deal with these Japanese cannons?”

……

In the Central Pacific Ocean, about 300 nautical miles west of the Hawaiian Islands, the flagship of the Chinese Pacific Fleet, the heavy aircraft carrier Taiwan.

"According to the information we have so far, the Japanese army has greatly strengthened the defense of the main island of Oahu after capturing the Hawaiian Islands. Including the original fort built by the US military, the Japanese army has now built a fortress defense around Oahu Island system, a total of 18 turrets equipped with cannons with a caliber of 12 inches or more, four of which have armored turrets! In addition, the five existing battleships, eight heavy cruisers and first-class coastal defense ships of the Japanese Combined Fleet also entered the Pearl It is likely that they will run aground in the harbor and act as fixed forts! If these large warships are counted, the Japanese defenders on Oahu Island will have more than 100 super-large-caliber heavy artillery, which will pose a huge threat to our landing troops .”

"100 cannons!"

After Zhao Zheng heard the number of Japanese artillery on Oahu Island, he couldn't help but gasped, and his head began to swell.

Hundreds of large-caliber cannons are not a joke. You must know that the Chinese Pacific Fleet in Zhao Zheng's hands has large-caliber cannons in total, that is, three Zhenyuan-class battleships. There are only 27 380mm naval guns in total, but they are four of the opponent's. One in one!Even with the 6 battleships of the US Pacific Fleet, they are still at a disadvantage in terms of the number of cannons, and it is common sense that any admiral knows that battleships cannot be used to confront the fort.

What made Zhao Zheng even more troublesome was the stern telegram sent by his immediate boss, Luo Yaoguo, with a one-month deadline to solve all the exposed Japanese forts on Oahu, and at the same time completely blockade Oahu!Not even a submarine can slip out!Before April [-]th, the landing operation will begin. Before the end of April, Oahu Island must be taken, and Emperor Hirohito must be pulled out of the cave!

"Mr. Zhao, the assistant commander has thrown a hard bone for us to gnaw on this time!" The report of the fleet combat staff made Lieutenant General Meng Hailong, the chief of staff next to him, frowned instantly.

"What? Do you have any ideas?" The rule in the National Defense Forces is that soldiers take obedience as their bounden duty. No matter how unreasonable the orders issued by the superiors are, the subordinates must do their best to complete them!And this time it was Luo Yaoguo himself who gave the order, so Zhao Zheng didn't even complain, and started discussing the battle situation directly.
