I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Gentlemen, please share your views, so as to gather ideas and brainstorm together!"

Yu Yuantang said in high spirits: "Commander, gentlemen, the current situation in the Pacific War is much more beneficial to us than before the war.

First of all, let’s talk about the comparison of the strengths of the enemy and us. The Chinese Navy now has only one aircraft carrier "Nanjing", which can carry 88 carrier-based aircraft. As for the US Pacific Fleet, although there are still 6 aircraft carriers, But only 6 of these 4 aircraft carriers are regular Essex-class, each can carry about 100 carrier-based aircraft, and the remaining 2 are light independent-class, each can only carry about 45 ships Carrier aircraft, then, the total number of carrier-based aircraft carried by the six US aircraft carriers is about 6. In contrast, the 500 aircraft carriers of the Imperial Navy, Yamato, Taiho, and Musashi can each carry 10 carrier-based aircraft. Crane can carry 110 carrier-based aircraft, Hiyaka can carry 90 carrier-based aircraft, Dragon Phoenix can carry 60 carrier-based aircraft, Chitose can carry 40 carrier-based aircraft, Yunlong, Amagi, and Katsuragi three Each ship can carry 35 carrier-based aircraft, so the total number of carrier-based aircraft carried by the 65 aircraft carriers of the Imperial Navy reaches 10!Compared with the US military, the Imperial Navy has a great advantage!Even if the U.S. Navy and the Chinese Navy are combined, the number of carrier-based aircraft is not as good as that of the Imperial Navy!In this battle, the Imperial Navy has a great chance of winning!It's just..." He changed the subject and his face became tense, "This battle must start immediately, and it cannot be delayed!Once dragged down, give the enemy time to breathe!The China Navy doesn’t care, but the U.S. military’s recovery speed is very fast. According to intelligence, before the end of this year, the U.S. military will have two to three Essex-class aircraft carriers completed and commissioned. By then, the U.S. military will increase by two to three hundred The total number of carrier-based aircraft has increased to the same number as the Imperial Navy, and the Imperial Navy has no new aircraft carriers to complete service before the end of this year.

In this battle, the Imperial Navy must fight urgently!Must win quickly! "

Nan Yunzhong nodded, expressing his agreement with Yu Yuantang's point of view: "If it is delayed, it will not only give the enemy time to recover its strength, but also cause long nights and dreams, and extra problems will arise.

Since it is difficult for us to obtain accurate, reliable and up-to-date information, the US and Chinese navies have just concluded a naval battle. We can speculate and estimate the situation on the Pacific battlefield at this time, but we will not know for a month or even half a month. Enemy dynamics and army forces deployed.

It's just..." He frowned slightly, showing a worried expression, "From the perspective of the Americans and the Chinese, they must know that when they make a big fight, we are waiting for an opportunity to attack outside the battle. Therefore, it is difficult for us to surprise them like we did before. ..."

"Surprise attack?" Yu Yuanchen looked dismissive, "The Americans were first attacked by us first, and then by the Chinese people for the second time. How could they be surprised for the third time?" He showed a murderous expression, "In this battle, the Imperial Navy does not need a surprise attack, only a strong attack!"

Nanyun Zhongyi looked at Yu Yuancun in surprise: "You mean..."

Yu Yuanchen said unequivocally: "Find the enemy's position, then kill it, and annihilate it in the majestic fleet decisive battle! That's it!"

Nagumo Chuichi fell into deep thought. Obviously, he was hesitant about the idea of ​​"Fleet Decisive Battle" proposed by Ugaki Sen.

Yamaguchi Tamon said: "The Chinese know in their hearts that we will clear the way for them when they are dispatched, but it is impossible to clear the way for them when they return to China. They know that we are waiting for them in the Western Pacific. In addition, they have already sunk 3 aircraft carriers by the US military, and only 1 remains. Relying on a mere aircraft carrier to break through the imperial navy's maritime front in the Western Pacific is tantamount to death.

In my opinion, there are only two possibilities for the Chinese fleet now. One, sneak back to China. After all, the western Pacific is very vast, and it is difficult for the imperial navy to take care of everything. time), then detour to Sakhalin, through the Strait of Tatar, to Vladivostok, where they are safe, there are hundreds of land-based aircraft to protect them, this is going north, as we know, the Imperial Navy The center of gravity of China's military forces is in the central and southern regions, and the northern military strength is weak, and they are most likely to be exploited by them. As for their return to mainland China through the waters of the Okinawa Islands (Ryukyu Islands) or the Bashi Channel between Taiwan and the Philippines, it is unlikely, because those two There are sea areas where the imperial navy is strictly defending; the second possibility is that they simply give up returning to China, because the road to return to China is completely blocked, and they will die when they come back. Instead of that, they might as well use their residual heat and continue to participate in the Battle of Oahu , according to intelligence, the U.S. fleet is searching for the Chinese fleet at this time. The Chinese fleet will either circle in circles near the Hawaiian waters, play hide-and-seek with the U.S. military, and engage in sea guerrilla warfare, thereby restraining part of the U.S. military force and assisting Wahu The Chinese troops on the island would either advance instead of retreat, and go directly to the Eastern Pacific Ocean, that is, the waters between Hawaii and the west coast of the United States, waiting for an opportunity to attack the US military's transport fleet and attack the US military's logistics, accumulating small victories into big victories.

Of course, the end result of what they do is that the entire army is wiped out, either by the US military, or the warship sinks itself after running out of fuel!"

Yamamoto 56 nodded slightly: "Yamaguchi-kun's analysis is really penetrating!"

Ugaki said brightly and authentically: "Whether the Chinese fleet is returning to China, or playing hide-and-seek with the U.S. military at sea, fighting guerrilla warfare, or going to the Eastern Pacific to destroy the U.S. rear, it will be beneficial to the Imperial Navy.

If the Chinese fleet returns, it will be a dead end. If it fights with the US military in the Central Pacific or Eastern Pacific, it will just help the Imperial Navy a lot!In order to annihilate the Chinese fleet, the U.S. military must divide its forces. Half of the fleet will continue to participate in the Battle of Oahu, and the other half will search and suppress the Chinese fleet. Then, the Imperial Navy can just take advantage of the gap and destroy the two divided American fleets one by one! "

Ozawa Jisaburo said: "If this is the case, then we are sure to win the decisive sea battle between the Imperial Navy and the US military. However, if the US fleet cruises in the waters near the Hawaiian Islands or other islands, we must be cautious. Because at that time, not only the carrier-based aircraft of the US aircraft carrier, but also the US land-based aircraft on the island will fight with our carrier-based aircraft group!"

"This is nothing to worry about!" Ugaki said disapprovingly, "The largest and almost only land base of the US military in the central Pacific is Hawaii, and Hawaii is still in the middle of a battle between the US military and the Chinese army.

According to the reports of General Ushishima Mitsuru and General Kuribayashi Chumichi, they seriously damaged the airport on Seven Islands when they led their troops to withdraw. The airport on the island was also constantly destroyed by the U.S. military. The U.S. military and the Chinese army destroyed each other, resulting in basically no airport for both sides in Hawaii.

Of course, this balance will not be maintained for too long. If time drags on, the U.S. military will build an airport on the Seven Islands sooner or later. Not only will it be able to attack the Chinese Army on Oahu, but it will also pose a threat to the Imperial Navy fleet. Therefore, This battle must be fought urgently!Must win quickly!Americans cannot be given time! "

Jisaburo Ozawa looked disturbed: "Chief of Staff, please pay attention to a detail. Of the 7 US aircraft carriers sunk by the Chinese army, 2 were sunk by the Chinese army's land-based aircraft on Oahu Island, and the US military attacked Oahu Island. At that time, more than a dozen aircraft carriers and more escort aircraft carriers were dispatched, and the number of carrier-based aircraft was as high as more than 2. In the protective network of such a powerful air force of the US military, the Chinese army's land-based aircraft on Oahu were actually still there. Being able to sink two U.S. aircraft carriers shows that the Chinese army has a very strong aviation force on Oahu.

Chief of Staff, the Americans are our enemies, and the Chinese are also our enemies. If our fleet enters the waters near Hawaii, the US military may not be able to attack, but what about the land-based aircraft of the Chinese army on Oahu?It is entirely possible for them to cooperate with the US military to attack us!Our side, the Americans, and the Chinese are enemies of each other, and one of them will be attacked by the other two!"

Yu Yuanchen still didn't take it seriously: "General Ozawa, I didn't fail to pay attention to this detail, it was you who ignored important details.

Please note that the two US aircraft carriers that were sunk by land-based aircraft of the Chinese Army on Oahu were both in the early stage of the war. The battle on Oahu has lasted for about a month. In the middle and late stages of the war, no third US aircraft carrier was sunk by aircraft on the island. Sinking, what does this mean?It shows that the planes of the Chinese Army on the island have been exhausted in frequent air battles with the US military.

Don't forget that the U.S. military's aircraft can be continuously replenished, while the Chinese army's aircraft on the island will lose one or one less aircraft and cannot be replenished. I estimate that at this moment, the aircraft owned by the Chinese army on the island has no more than There are a hundred of them, nothing to worry about!"

Ozawa Jisaburo was not convinced by Ugaki's words, but he could not think of enough reasons to refute it. After all, the Japanese were completely blind to the details of the battle on Oahu Island and the battle between the Chinese and American fleets. precise intelligence.

Ugaki paused for a moment, and said in a loud voice: "As long as this battle is won, the China Navy will cease to exist, and the US Pacific Fleet will also collapse. Defeat is also enough to make it permanently inferior in strength in the future, and will be suppressed by the Imperial Navy forever! The Imperial Navy currently has 10 aircraft carriers, and the US military has 6. If the Imperial Navy can wipe out all of them at the cost of at most two aircraft carriers U.S. military, then, after this battle, the number of aircraft carriers between the Imperial Navy and the U.S. military will be 8 to 0. Even if the U.S. military will have two or three aircraft carriers completed and commissioned before the end of this year, the Imperial Navy still has enough strength to wipe them out again !By next year, the new aircraft carriers of the Imperial Navy will continue to be completed and put into service. Although the U.S. military also has new aircraft carriers to be completed and put into service, they will be outpaced by the Imperial Navy in terms of speed and quantity! The Empire will use its strength and strategic advantages to offset or even It has surpassed the US military's industrial output advantage!" He looked at Yamamoto 56, and put on a slightly flattering expression, "In this way, until the end of the war, the Imperial Navy will suppress the US military! And the commander-in-chief's vision of the 'imperial government in the empire' After the navy won many overwhelming victories, the strategic concept of forcing the US government to negotiate a peace and armistice with the empire has once again got a chance to be realized!"

Although Yamamoto 56 doesn't like Ugaki Tsuru's kind of exaggerated talk, but Ugaki Tsuru's last words made him feel deeply "satisfied".

Before launching the US-Japan Pacific War, Yamamoto 56 seriously thought about how to end the war. Japan’s defeat and surrender would definitely be an unacceptable result, and it would be impossible for the Japanese army to enter Washington and capture Roosevelt alive. Then, the only and most ideal outcome of the war It was the Japanese army's continuous repressive victories on the battlefield that made Washington high-level officials and all walks of life in the United States lose the confidence and courage to continue the war with Japan, so they negotiated a peace and armistice with Japan while giving Japan a lot of benefits.

It's a pity that the disastrous defeat of the Battle of Guadalcanal made Yamamoto 56 and other Japanese high-level sober factions feel hopeless. Now, an opportunity to realize that strategic concept again is in front of them, and Yamamoto 56 and others have to be excited. Yamamoto 56 couldn't help but be moved by the last words of Ugaki Takumi, and nodded slightly.

Chiaki Matsuda, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "Commander, gentlemen, our analysis and research are all based on the fact that the US and Chinese fleets are engaged in a war, the US fleet is severely damaged and suffered heavy losses, and the Chinese fleet is almost completely wiped out." On the premise, if this is true, the Imperial Navy will of course be of great benefit, and it can even be said to be beneficial to Invincible. No matter what kind of tactics, the Imperial Navy will be able to do a job with ease.

But, is it really so beautiful?We must remain vigilant and prepared.

Is it possible that the great situation before us is actually a trap and trap carefully designed by the enemy?Gentlemen, don't forget that in this battle, our side is completely blind in terms of intelligence and walks at night without knowing anything, and intelligence is often the key factor in determining victory or defeat.

The U.S. military assembled 40 troops, all the aircraft carriers and most of the capital ships of the Pacific Fleet, and attacked such a tiny place like Oahu with such a strong military force. Why did it fail to be overwhelming and suffered heavy losses?It is because the U.S. military did not collect enough intelligence when it launched this war.

So, will the Imperial Navy repeat the mistakes of the US military?If this battle is won, it will naturally save the empire from danger. If it is defeated, won't it completely destroy the empire?Gentlemen, please be careful! "

As soon as Matsuda Chiaki said this, Yamamoto 56, Nagumo Chuichi, Ozawa Jisaburo, Yamaguchi Tamon and others fell into deep thought. They obviously felt that Matsuda Chiaki's words were very reasonable, but Ugaki showed an expression of impatience and even disgust. Matsuda Chiaki was completely throwing cold water on him, which made him feel deeply displeased and displeased: "Matsuda, of course there is nothing wrong with being cautious, but excessive caution is unfounded and mediocre! Americans, Chinese people, who is designing Trap? The China fleet didn’t go to Hawaii to attack the Americans, so why did it go there? Could it be that the Americans and the Chinese were on the same side? What a big joke! The mountains of dead bodies on Oahu are all fake? The U.S. Army and the Chinese Army were fighting to the death on Oahu Island. Could it be a fake?"

Matsuda Chiaki said calmly: "But, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, didn't we fight the Chinese to the death? But didn't we still secretly cooperate with the Chinese to deal with the Americans once?"

Yu Yuanchen suddenly felt a little unreasonable, and then became slightly annoyed: "The situation is different! How can it be the same?"

Yamamoto 56 said in a calm and forceful tone: "As for this issue, the base camp has repeatedly studied it. In fact, I personally have deep concerns, because although this matter is almost impossible from a common sense point of view, But, don’t forget, who is one of our enemies? It’s Jiang Weiguo! Jiang Weiguo is powerful and terrifying, don’t you still know? Because of him, the United Fleet stopped in time on the wrong road and gave up its flashy battleships , embarked on the correct principle of valuing and reusing aircraft carriers, and then became unstoppable in the war, but because of him, the United Fleet and even the whole of Japan were pushed to the brink of the abyss! ' to describe.

If this is really a scam, then the scale and skill of this scam can be called earth-shattering and shocking. I can't imagine that anyone can do this, but Jiang Weiguo can do such a ghostly thing! "He was slightly agitated. Whenever "Jiang Weiguo" was mentioned, Yamamoto 56 and many other Japanese would feel a feeling that could not be described in words. It is a huge "unwillingness" because Jiang Weiguo, the "devil god" who is destroying Japan, is half-Japanese in blood. It is precisely because Jiang Weiguo is too terrible and detached that many Japanese "regret" him. Because Jiang Weiguo is "half Chinese and half Japanese", he served China as a Chinese, China was able to rise to the sky, and at the same time, Japan was almost destroyed. Serving Japan with his identity, "After His Majesty the Emperor receives the assistance and allegiance of Jiang Weiguo, the great cause of the empire will surely be accomplished."

Let China get Jiang Weiguo, a "peerless genius" who belongs to Japan, and countless Japanese have to grieve for it.

"But!" Yamamoto 56 changed the subject in a heavy tone, "There is no turning back! Since the empire has launched this war, there is no way out from the beginning! As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must do our best Go! Otherwise, no matter whether the empire is defeated by the United States or China, it will be lost forever! Now that the imperial headquarters has issued an order, we must go all out. It is not up to us to decide whether to fight or not. How to win is what we have to do thing!"

Seeing that Yamamoto 56, who has the decision-making power, also supported his own point of view, Ugaki could not help but smile: "Masters, it is not too late, we must attack immediately! Right now, although we are not very clear about the situation of the US-China fleet, but one thing is One thing is certain, that is, half or more of the U.S. fleet must be in the waters of Hawaii, and the Battle of Oahu is going on! As long as we attack this part of the U.S. fleet, the other half of the U.S. fleet will definitely come to reinforce it. As for China It doesn't matter where the military fleet is, because their strength is not sufficient.

Therefore, after our attack, we headed directly to Hawaii while searching for the US-China fleet!Take the initiative to attack the US fleet! "

Yamamoto 56 nodded, and he looked at everyone with piercing eyes: "The meaning of this battle is just like the famous saying that senior Togo Heihachiro said before the Tsushima Kai War, 'The rise and fall of the empire is at this battle'! If you win, the empire will be safe. Defeated, the empire is doomed! In this battle, Nagumo-kun, Ozawa-kun, and Yamaguchi-kun, the first, second, and third fleets commanded by you will all be dispatched! I will be the supreme commander! This time, we will fight with The U.S. military is launching the final decisive battle that will determine the world!" When he, who has always been gentle and peaceful, said the last sentence, his face was livid and his facial features were tense.

"Hayi!" Everyone looked serious at the same time.

On the same day that the top officials of the United States, Germany and China secretly signed the "Three Kingdoms Pact", the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy was officially dispatched.

In order to win this "battle of national destiny" that can give Japan a final comeback, the Tokyo base camp has put most of the essence of the combined fleet into this battle with a desperate momentum. The three main fleets have a total of 3 ships Heavy aircraft carriers, 4 medium-sized aircraft carriers, 3 light aircraft carriers, 6 battleships, and more than 80 light and heavy cruisers, destroyers, transport ships and other auxiliary ships. The total tonnage of all ships is as high as more than 80 tons. The Western Pacific is heading towards the Central Pacific, preparing for a strategic decisive battle with the US Pacific Fleet, and at the same time annihilating the remaining Chinese Navy aircraft carrier fleet "by the way".

All of a sudden, the Pacific Ocean was full of wind and clouds, and a war jointly launched by the navies of the United States, Japan, and China was imminent.

Section 766 Joint Operations (3)

In the "Sino-US Navy Joint Fleet Temporary Headquarters" on Midway Island, Ouyang Sihai pointed to the chart with confidence: "From the perspective of the Japanese, they think that after the battle between you and us, almost all of us The army was annihilated, and your side also suffered heavy losses. Next, our fleet will either sneak through their maritime defense line in the Western Pacific and return to China, or continue to participate in the war, playing hide-and-seek and guerrilla warfare with you at sea, In order to contain part of your military power, but the Japanese are not focusing on us, because we are weak, and you have beaten us to only one aircraft carrier. Of course, the Japanese will not take us seriously. You are only listed as the target, as for us, it is just an incidental gift!" Ouyang Sihai smiled, "Speaking of you, although the Japanese don't know where you are or what you are doing, they can speculate.

As for you, you paid a heavy price to repel us. Next, you must divide your troops into two groups, chasing and killing us all the way, and continuing to besiege Oahu Island all the way.

The Pacific Ocean is vast and vast. If the Japanese want to find your first fleet, it is like finding a needle in a haystack, but it is too easy to find your second fleet. Hawaii is fixed in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The Japanese only need to drive the fleet near Hawaii. You can find your second fleet and launch an attack, and at the same time, use this to lure your first fleet to return to Hawaii for reinforcements, so that they will wait and destroy one by one!"

Kincaid looked at Ouyang Sihai noncommittally: "General Ouyang, why are you so sure?"

"Ok?"

"I mean, why are you so sure that the Japanese will do this?" Kincaid frowned, "After all, the Japanese don't know the information from our side, but we don't know what the Japanese are thinking either.

Will the Japanese really take the initiative?They must know that this move carries great risks. If it is not done well, not only will they not be able to make a comeback, but they will lose everything and lose everything.

If I were Japanese, I would not do this, at most I would deploy defenses in the Western Pacific, and I would not take the initiative to attack the enemy alone, the risk is too great!"

Ouyang Sihai laughed: "General Kincaid, although you Americans have been fighting the Japanese for two years, speaking of it, your understanding of the Japanese is far inferior to being neighbors with them for thousands of years and fighting with them. We have fought many battles!"

"Please enlighten me!"

Ouyang Sihai raised his head and looked up at the ceiling: "Japan is not a small country, but its territory is indeed small, and its local resources are very scarce. Except for a little coal, there are almost no industrial raw materials such as steel, oil, and rubber. One can imagine how difficult it is for a country with a small territory and few resources to develop and grow.

Japan is not like the United States or China. It has a vast land, rich resources, and abundant resources. Look at China. It has been bullied many times in modern times. China is indeed a big country, with a large population and rich resources. Even the corrupt and incompetent Qing government, without developing industry or modern commerce, can squeeze a lot of wealth from hundreds of millions of people every year. No matter how bad it is, it can still sell resources. Exchanging banknotes for foreigners is not enough for Japan. The Japanese government is very poor, and the Japanese people are also very poor. In the past few decades, Japanese women have even been encouraged to go abroad to sell meat. On the one hand, they can spy on foreign intelligence, and on the other hand, they can also earn foreign exchange.

Having said so much, General Kincaid, you have to understand that the funds and resources that Japan has developed are very hard-won. In addition, it is well known that stealing money is faster than making money, so the Japanese will not be honest Those who make money by selling meat on the ground, after accumulating some wealth through selling meat, the Japanese immediately used this wealth to launch a war and plunder abroad. The first target of the Japanese plunder was China, so the Sino-Japanese War broke out. The Japanese officially began their first battle of domination and foreign plunder.

The result of that war was that the Japanese won a big victory, but many people don't know that before the war, the Japanese high-level leaders were not ambitious, but panicked and worried. Why?Because Japan only invested so little money in that war. Once it lost, Japan would go bankrupt and lose everything. It would be impossible to make a comeback within decades. The Japanese government at that time had already prepared to prevent the Qing army from defeating the naval battle. Preparations were made for landing in Japan. As a result, Japan won the battle and made a lot of money all of a sudden. The Japanese won the huge wealth of Japan's tax revenue for at least ten years from China through the victory of that war; The Japanese are actively launching and participating in foreign wars. The next one is the Russo-Japanese War. This war is exactly the same as the Sino-Japanese War. The Japanese put all their belongings into this war again. They made a lot of money, and when they lost, they immediately went bankrupt and lost everything. As a result, the Japanese won again and made a lot of money.

The Japanese won the Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, and the First World War, and they made huge fortunes again and again. Only then did the so-called Great Japanese Empire come into being today.

General Kincaid, do you understand what I've said? "

Kincaid said thoughtfully, "I see.

The Japanese can have today's national strength and national power, relying on victory in one war after another, but the Japanese fought those wars were very risky behaviors!"

"Exactly!" Ouyang Sihai raised his finger, "Because the Japanese have limited capital, they can't afford to lose, but they want to win, so they have to take risks and gamble. Every war they start is to use the national operation as a gamble. Ben's gambling, maybe their Amaterasu God has been blessing them all the time, they have always won the bets, so they are like gamblers with a big appetite, the more they win, the more they want to gamble, and finally provoke the Sino-Japanese all-round The war and the war with you Americans, they think they will continue to win as before.

The Japanese are a bunch of gamblers, and this desperate and adventurous spirit has penetrated into the bones of the Japanese!"

Kincaid understood: "So, as long as there is hope, the Japanese will take risks.

They believe that the Chinese naval fleet is almost completely wiped out, and the US Pacific Fleet suffered heavy losses. This is their chance to win a grand slam. Therefore, even if they know that there is a great risk, they will make a bet.

If they don't gamble and don't take the initiative to attack, then, after a year or so, the strength of the Pacific Fleet will overtake them, and they will be passively beaten again until the US-China coalition forces approach the city of Tokyo.

They are not willing to sit and wait to die, so they must fight hard!"

Ouyang Sihai nodded with a smile: "What's more, the commander of the United Fleet Commander Yamamoto 56 himself is a gambler who loves gambling. It is said that he was once rejected by Moroccan casinos because he won too much money.

In fact, from a macro point of view, it was a big gamble for the Japanese to provoke the US-Japan war, but the Japanese did it anyway, didn't they? "

Kincaid also nodded with a smile: "Yes.

It seems that the Japanese are indeed likely to take the initiative!"

"It's not 'very likely', but 'definitely!'" Ouyang Sihai emphasized his tone.

Kincaid put away his smile and nodded slightly: "Okay, then, do you have any plans or good suggestions for the next battle that has the opportunity to gather and annihilate the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy?"

Ouyang Sihai glanced sideways at Kincaid: "General Kincaid, are you asking for our opinion?"

"certainly!"

"Then you have the wrong attitude!" Ouyang Sihai suddenly changed his expression, "You should obey our plan!"

"Submissive?" Kincaid was a little stunned, then shook his head with a smile, "This word is too inappropriate.

Don't forget, you and I are joining forces to deal with the Japanese this time, we have 8 aircraft carriers, and yours has 3 aircraft carriers, we are the backbone of this coalition, you should obey us!"

"Eight aircraft carriers?" Ouyang Sihai sneered unceremoniously, "How many of them floated from the bottom of the sea? If it weren't for our mercy, you probably have as many aircraft carriers as we do now, right?"

Kincaid's face suddenly became embarrassed.

"So, you must listen to us!" Ouyang Sihai said firmly.

Kincaid didn't nod, but he didn't say anything to refute, expressing his acquiescence.

On May 5, the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy dispatched from Truk Island. After sailing for 7 days, it arrived about 5 kilometers south of Midway Island on May 21.

During these fourteen days, several cruiser fleets and destroyer fleets left by the Japanese army in the Western Pacific sent regular reports to the main fleet every day. The content of the reports for the fourteen days was the same: no Chinese naval fleet was found, and it was confirmed that it was not there. did not return to China.

At the same time, during these fourteen days, the domestic news media in the United States continued to report the "Battle of Oahu in full swing" and "The Pacific Fleet's search, suppression and pursuit of the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier fleet". Each report is full of eloquence. , Has a nose and eyes.

These are all strategic deception plans jointly launched by the Nanjing Army and the U.S. Army against the Japanese Army. The plan was named "Overlord" by Jiang Weiguo-this name once again reflected Jiang Weiguo's "evil taste", because in the original history, the Allied forces launched The strategic plan to deceive the Germans before the Normandy landings was named Overlord.

In order to deceive the Japanese army as much as possible, the Chinese and American coalition forces used many "little tricks" ingeniously, such as:

Domestic newspapers in the United States reported "how bloody and brutal the Battle of Oahu Island", and published many epic hero stories. Each hero story has its own style. A position, blocked more than two reinforced companies of the Nanjing Army, and was personally commended and trained by General Buckner. Today, this US private soldier desperately rescued his comrades in the hail of bullets and rescued more than 50 people in one breath. President Roosevelt knew The soldier's heroic deeds; during the fierce battle in the afternoon, the First Marine Division successfully broke through the defense line of the Nanjing Army, and captured Sheng Wen, Chief of Staff of the Nanjing Army on Oahu Island, who was inspecting and supervising the battle at the time. There are photos of Sheng Wen being taken into custody by several smiling U.S. troops, and the report also describes in detail the process of Sheng Wen's capture, "...this Chinese general is very brave. Without hesitation, he took out his pistol and fired, wounding Lieutenant George John, but he was shot in the abdomen by Private James Rasme immediately, and fell to the ground. The Marines recognized that this was a Chinese The general, therefore, did not kill him, but swarmed up and captured him alive. Even under the pressure of four or five marines, this tenacious Chinese general still tried to shoot himself. The marines We are all in awe of his spirit..." and so on;——Actually, Oahu Island is peaceful and peaceful at this time, and there is no war at all. Sheng Wen's "capture" was just a drama played by the "wronged identity" with the US military.

When the U.S. military's news publisher released this "precious photo" at the press conference, the American reporters at the scene were all as if they were treasured. The top Japanese army leaders in domestic newspapers believed it to be true.

Considering that Midway Island has US land-based aircraft, the Japanese fleet carefully bypassed Midway Island. Among the three main fleets, the first fleet was commanded by Nagumo Chuichi. The fleet included Yamato, Taiho, Amagi, Katsuragi's four aircraft carriers and two battleships can be called the core force of the Japanese fleet. Yamamoto 56, who personally participated in the battle, sat on the Yamato; the second fleet was commanded by Ozawa Jisaburo, which included Musashi, Yunryu, Four aircraft carriers Chitose and Dragon Phoenix and one battleship; the Third Fleet was commanded by Yamaguchi Tamon, which included two aircraft carriers Xianghe and Hihawk and three battleships.

According to the deployment of Yamamoto 56, Ozawa's Second Fleet took the lead, Nagumo's First Fleet followed closely, and Yamaguchi's Third Fleet was at the end. If you can launch the attack alone, you can launch the attack alone. If you need the second or second or third fleet to participate in the battle, wait to join the second or second or third fleet.” Therefore, about half of the carrier-based aircraft of the Ozawa fleet is Fighter aircraft, about a quarter of which are dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft, and about a quarter are reconnaissance aircraft; other fleets of the U.S. military or join forces with the Ozawa Fleet and the Yamaguchi Fleet to search and suppress the U.S. fleet.” Therefore, about one-third of the Nanyun Fleet’s carrier-based aircraft are fighter jets, and about two-thirds are dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft; the Yamaguchi Fleet Naturally, the mission of the fleet is to provide support and security. The types of carrier-based aircraft in the fleet are relatively uniform. About two-fifths are fighter jets, about two-fifths are dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft, and about one-fifth are reconnaissance aircraft.

The "Caiyun" carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft equipped by the Japanese Navy at this time has excellent performance and can be called world-class. This aircraft can reach a range of more than 5300 kilometers when carrying auxiliary fuel tanks. That is to say, this aircraft can fly as far as possible. It is more than 2600 kilometers away. Therefore, the Japanese fleet can dispatch reconnaissance planes to reconnaissance Oahu Island when it is more than 2600 kilometers away from Hawaii. However, Yamamoto 56 is worried that the Japanese carrier-based opportunity will suddenly appear in the sky of Oahu Island. It is tantamount to notifying in advance The US and Chinese forces "the Japanese fleet is coming", so he ordered the fleet to dispatch a reconnaissance plane to conduct reconnaissance when it was a thousand kilometers away from Hawaii.

When the Japanese fleet passed through the waters near Midway Island, Yamaguchi Tamon suggested to Yamamoto 56 that "Midway Island can accommodate [-] to [-] US land-based aircraft. If it is not eradicated, it will inevitably become a serious threat to the rear of the Japanese fleet. , and, if the U.S. fleet is hit by the Japanese with nowhere to hide, it will inevitably go to Midway Island, which is not too far from Hawaii. Launch a counterattack against the Japanese army."

Yamamoto 56 was very appreciative of Yamaguchi’s well-informed and thorough consideration, but he also believed that if he attacked Midway Island before attacking the U.S. fleet, he would still scare the enemy, and if he attacked the U.S. fleet and Midway Island at the same time, it would cause the Japanese army to fight on two fronts and be stretched.” , so Yamaguchi Tamon's proposal was not adopted.

Yamaguchi Tamon then suggested, "Taking Midway Island will be of great benefit to the Japanese army. Midway Island is equal to two or three fixed but unsinkable aircraft carriers. If the Japanese army takes Midway Island, it will greatly increase its strength (take it down) After Midway Island, the airport was quickly repaired, and then the carrier-based aircraft carried by the transport ships were added to Midway Island), and secondly, the hidden dangers in the rear of the Japanese army were eliminated.”

Yamamoto 56 considered again and again, and decided to "let the Yamaguchi Fleet prepare to support the Nanyun Fleet and the Ozawa Fleet on the one hand, and on the other hand closely monitor Midway Island, and seize Midway Island if conditions permit."
