When the Japanese joint fleet retreated to the Japanese mainland, the entire fleet seemed to be covered with dark clouds. Everyone seemed to suppress the frustration in their hearts, and it seemed that weeping sounds could be heard in every corner.
Everyone discarded 40,000 Marines soldiers, as well as Army colleagues, and left the area near the Hawaiian Islands after half a month of fighting. In addition to the large number of aircraft lost by the aircraft carrier fleet, only a few warships were injured. .
For Japanese soldiers who have been trained in the spirit of Bushido since childhood, they feel that their despicable escape is an extremely irresponsible behavior and a betrayal of the Great Japanese Empire, so now everyone has no glory on their faces, and some even think in private Yamamoto should decide to die by caesarean section for his own stupidity.
There are also a few officers who know that Yamamoto ’s decision is the right choice. Most of them are unwilling subordinate officers, and many of them are true technical backbones. Only they can understand how weak the Japanese fleet is, and only they understand Yamamoto ’s withdrawal A little helpless at the time. The joint fleet is the only essence of the Japanese navy. This fleet has not been rested since the beginning of the war, and there is no power to replace it. Eventually, this powerful maritime force was dragged by the blitz of the Pacific battlefield to the Nazi armored force. No return.
It seems to be moving towards victory, as if the German armored forces are getting closer and closer to Moscow in another time and space. That kind of good vision of victory makes it easy to forget many things, such as forgetting that the troops need to rest and need to be added ...
Fifty-six Yamamoto stood on his bridge and suddenly remembered a brief combat intelligence from the Army Province, which showed that Germany gave up the opportunity to attack the Soviet Union and organized a defense line on the Dnieper River. At that time, the officers of the Army Ministry were still mocking the Germans for being timid, and they did not dare to take the initiative to attack even under the advantage.
He now knows why the Germans stopped along the Dnieper River, just as Japan faced the far east coast of the United States, and Germany faced Moscow too far. The Germans were reluctant to waste their precious armored forces, so they chose to stop halfway and wait for the Soviets to make a faint move, and the Japanese later realized that when they attacked weakly, they only remembered that passive preservation of strength was really bad. do not.
"This German head of state ... is really a strategically correct and correct guy." Yamamoto said with a sour sigh: "Why are such talents not our great Japanese empire? If there are more people like this , Then we will not be so passive now? "
Unknown, Akado, who is reviewing the analysis report of Germany ’s future economic situation, knows what Yamamoto would think if he said so. Would you sneer and then pat the shoulder of the naval marshal of the Japanese Empire, telling him that if he was in Japan, it would be estimated that Japan would lose faster and worse.
Just when Yamamoto suddenly remembered such a distant and irrelevant character as Akado, just a few miles behind the flagship Nagano, in the aviation officer ’s cabin on the aircraft carrier Akagi, the angrily-destructive Sato was yelling at Yamamoto ’s withdrawal orders After all, as a front-line Air Force pilot, his words are quite convincing.
"We Air Force pilots are not afraid of death! We haven't flinched. Why did he let us retreat? Why did he let us escape with his tail? He is Yamamoto or Marshal, even the little emperor of Japan has no shame. What? If he really has a bit of so-called self-esteem, then he should die himself now! "Several of his men stood and listened to his instructions, and none of them looked up.
Everyone knew the situation at that time. If we take off the plane again to attack the US warships, then most pilots and planes will definitely be gone. After all, the Americans became more and more courageous in wars at the time, and there were land-based aircraft as a cover and supplement. Japanese aircraft were at an absolute disadvantage in number. Once the battle continued, the entire First Air Fleet would have to fight off the sea near Oahu.
When everyone was ready to die, it was Marshal Yamamoto who pulled them back from and said that he was not grateful, which was absolutely deceiving. It is just that most military officers are now scolding Yamamoto for not being loyal to the country, and as soldiers at the grassroots level, they dare not talk nonsense. But the basic judgment made them choose to shut up and did not follow the fanatics to discredit their commander marshal.
"Shut up!" Outside the door, General Nan Yunzhong stared at his proud man with his eyes on his back. If he changed to something else on weekdays, he would never scold this brave warrior who dared to devote himself to the empire. But now he must speak and speak a fair word for his boss.
Although Nanyun also wanted to kill himself on Oahu, he only felt the helplessness of Yamamoto after he calmed down. Although it was more sad and majestic to fight a dead net with the US fleet on Oahu, it was lacking Hematopoiesis in Japan is tantamount to suicide.
Nanyun, who wanted to understand everything, turned to admire his boss, so he firmly ordered his fleet to follow Nanyun all the way back, without any complaint about Yamamoto 56. From an official point of view, since someone is willing to blame the retreat of the First Air Fleet, Nanyun is also willing to retain his fleet as the main counterattack.
"General, I can't understand why we have to retreat from Oahu!" Sato's younger brother served on the Kaga aircraft carrier, also a pilot of a fighter. During the last assault, his younger brother was driving the Zero The fighter was shot down by the US military, so he was so disoriented.
"Sato Jun, I understand your mood very well. I also know what this retreat means. But we must understand the painstaking efforts of the Marshal. After all, his decision saved the entire First Air Fleet ..." Nan Yunzhong persuaded A few words, and then stopped talking, because in Sato's view any retreat is shameful, he would rather stay on Oahu to avenge his brother.
The Japanese Army Aviation special flight supported 30 me-109c fighter jets on Kauai, of which 20 were copied by Japan themselves, using original engines imported from Germany that year. This batch of aircraft has been replaced because it has no subsequent parts. It was sent to Kauai as a last resort. After the planes were emptied, the Japanese soldiers in the Hawaiian Islands would not have any air support. They would have to stand on their own positions until the combined fleet returned.
Nan Yun returned to his lounge, just want to take off his coat and lay down on the bed to rest for a while, there was a knock on the door outside the door. He had to put on his clothes again, tidy up his appearance, and opened the door. The result was a telegram from the telegraph room, from the flagship Nagato, saying that Marshal Yamamoto 56 would arrive in the Akagi in a dinghy in a dozen minutes. Please prepare Nanyun for the reception.
When Nan Yun saw the mournful Yamamoto 56 on the deck of the aircraft carrier Chicheng, he almost didn't recognize this quickly old man. A few months ago, he was still arrogantly pointing the rivers and mountains with himself, but now it is just A little old man who is just about to die.
"Nan Yunjun, the last thing we want to happen is that our squadron in the waters near Australia was attacked by enemy submarines." Yamamoto said feebly: "The battleship Yamashiro was hit by four torpedoes and unfortunately sank. Our shelling operations against northern Australia have to be temporarily cancelled. "
I originally thought that Yamamoto 56 was to blame himself for his unsteady retreat, which resulted in the loss of a large number of carrier aircraft. Now it seems that Yamamoto's current situation can no longer be blamed for himself. Nan Yun was frightened by the sinking of the Shancheng while he breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Yamashiro ... sinked? One of the most powerful battleships of the Great Japanese Empire was actually sunk by four torpedoes. This is absolutely impossible. Could it be that the message was wrong? Marshal ..." Nan Yun The first point was that the intelligence was wrong, but soon he saw several messages from Yamamoto.
Among them are the distress signals and messages sent by the cruiser Mayer, and confidential notices sent by the Navy Department. It seems that the Shancheng was really sunk, and there was no possibility of falsehood. Nan Yun turned his gaze away from the message and looked up at Yamamoto 56: "A dazzling battleship with a tonnage of tens of thousands, was so easily hit by several torpedoes?"
Yamamoto smiled bitterly and shook his head. Wasn't the US battleship easily sunk by torpedo bombs dropped by Japanese planes? And he was not worried about a battleship of the Yamashiro, but a terrorist incident represented behind him.
Recently, the loss of Japanese ships near Australia was abnormal. Clear eyes will know that this is not normal loss data. In a vast sea area, there must be a fleet that is slaughtering the Japanese Navy ’s transport ships and warships. But no one dared to take this matter on paper, because the Japanese Navy could not turn around to deal with such a small-scale enemy with amazing combat effectiveness.
It's a submarine! Fifty-six Yamamoto knew very well that in the eastern part of Australia, there must be a submarine force stationed, but he has no way to take this submarine force now, either the army fights it or he can only pretend not to know. His division of troops to deal with this submarine will give the United States a chance to make a decisive battle. At this time, the main enemy of the Japanese joint fleet is the US fleet near Oahu, not such a troubled submarine force.
Counting the days, the submarine force sent by Germany should have arrived in Australia. In Yamamoto's mind, the restless appearance of the German head of state who never met in the newspaper appeared again. But he was not quite sure that all of this was done by the Germans. After all, the American submarine force also caused a lot of trouble for Japan.
"Who the is that?" In Nan Yun's puzzled eyes, Yamamoto muttered in a low voice.
