Are Americans fooled? The Americans were indeed fooled. To be precise, even the US intelligence service did not expect Japan to attack the U.S. Navy in a full-fledged decisive battle under such unfavorable circumstances.
It was his usual style that General Halsey commanded his forward unit to attack the front of the Japanese army with a violent attack. In fact, his style of play is the easiest, but whether it is bait or not, as long as he hits one side and eats the other party, it is undoubtedly how appropriate.
Whether it ’s cheap or not, let ’s talk about it first. This is Halsey ’s idea, and his idea is also supported by Spruens, another commander of the US Navy Fleet. The general also thought that the Japanese would not do their best to fight here, because even the Nimitz behind him did not believe that the Japanese navy would fight back here.
But the US carrier fleet is not the soft persimmon given by Bai. The aircraft carrier Saratoga and the assault carrier maintain a strong combat effectiveness. The aircraft carrier Hornet and the later launched the Hornets are among them. With the addition of three modified aircraft carriers temporarily recruited from the British Navy, this time the US Navy fleet had an overwhelming advantage over Japan in aviation, and the number of aircraft was more than double that of the Japanese.
A total of 7 US aircraft carriers played against 3 Japanese aircraft carriers. This was the capital that the US Navy dared to launch a decisive battle. Blow.
"We want to concentrate on annihilating their decoy fleet before the other fleets of the Japanese navy have appeared in the theater," General Spruance looked at the chart and said, "Since the Japanese feel that this fleet is here We first attack is a good way, then we let the Japanese regret it
However, he was more cautious than the fierce Halsey. When he decided to attack first and eat the Japanese Navy's decoy fleet, he had not forgotten other Japanese Navy fleets that might appear in the theater. So after he issued the order to send a second wave of attack aircraft, he added a second combat command: "Let the reconnaissance unit take off and focus on the original direction of the island and the thick clouds. It is also necessary to focus on the investigation. Through any dead ends ... "
Watching his reconnaissance planes take off one by one, and scattered in all directions, Spruance raised his mouth and smiled. He used a pious tactic to deal with Yamamoto's conspiracy and tricks, and kept himself from mistakes. , You can let Yamamoto fifty-six have no chance.
Any strategy must have advantages and disadvantages. For example, to set up a bait, then in the process of engagement, this bait will inevitably become the enemy ’s primary target of attack if the enemy does not hook. Therefore, all decoy units must be attacked by the dominant enemy first, and as far as possible to hold down their enemies.
The battleship Ise has now eaten two aerial bombs, and part of the chimney has ignited a fire. However, the power system is still intact, still maintaining a maximum speed of more than 20 knots. The other ship, the Japanese ship, played even more superbly. So far, it has not been hit by the US military.
However, the good luck of the Japanese Navy seems to be almost used at this moment. The first is that the battleship Ise, which has already been ignited, was once again hit by ammunition dropped by American aircraft. This time it was not an aerial bomb, but a fish torpedo. Lightning struck the bow of the Ise ship, causing its bow to explode a huge hole. The speed of the Ise had to slow down and began to drag the entire Japanese fleet.
The American plane seemed to flies to find a cracked egg, and began to siege the battleship Ise, which was slowing down. Soon, the main turret behind the battleship of the battleship Ise was hit again. This time Ise was unlucky. Because the ammunition in the turret exploded, completely destroying the warship ’s power system.
"Tell the battleship Nisshin and let Miura take over as the commander of the fleet." On the bridge of the battleship Ise, the original commander of the fleet commanded the desk weakly and said: "If you can't reach the telegraph room, use the flag language , Use light if the fire is too big and the smoke is too thick, then put the sampan "
At the same time as he gave the order, a Japanese destroyer approaching and attempting to rescue the fallen soldiers was hit by an American plane and exploded into two sinking into the sea, even faster than the Ise, which was about to sink. Sink to the bottom of the sea. Heavy oil and burning flames floated on the surface of the sea, densely packed with soldiers falling into the water, and the end of Ise was coming.
"Reporting General Day sent a semaphore signal to Miura Daisuke on the ship, saying that he could not see the command flag on my ship, so he temporarily raised the command flag to replace you and command the fleet to continue fighting."
"It's a great honor for Miura Jun to be able to fight side by side with an excellent soldier like you." The captain on the Ise smiled bitterly and nodded to admit this time's suspense. He walked to the door of the bridge headquarters and suddenly remembered something. He asked the officer behind him, "What about first officer? Is there no news on the air defense command position?"
There was no way to effectively control the fire inside the battleship, and American planes created new explosion points everywhere. The iron staircase outside was also damaged by the bomb. In addition, the telephone line was damaged, and the air defense command position had lost news for more than ten minutes. The officer shook his head and answered his boss.
"Reassure that we are here to die in the battlefield today. It is a price that must be paid for His Majesty the Emperor and the Great Japanese Empire. As long as we can help our fleet win this war, then even if all are sunk here, there are What a pity? "The general who hung the newly promoted major general clapped the shoulders of his men and smiled and encouraged:" You young people like you should live well. I approve you to use the sampan. , Continue to fight on the "Yuxiang"
The main gun turret of the "Boom" stern exploded, and the entire battleship Ise was originally flooded into the bow, but now it has been flooded into the head and tail simultaneously. The tremendous twisting force of the sea water caused this sturdy battleship to make the squeaky sound of steel bending, which sounded quite scary.
Looking at the flames and black smoke exploding in the distance, the Japanese Rear Admiral sorted out his clothes and signaled that everyone could leave. Then he walked to the broadcast position, grabbed the microphone, and delivered The combat command he should give.
"All the staff, as your commander, the captain of this ship, it is a great honour to work with everyone. Now I have to give my last order with regret, all the staff ... abandon the ship." In every corner of the battleship, the familiar sound of the captain sounded. Suddenly all the noise seemed to recede. Someone could even hear someone crying indistinctly.
At this time, the Japanese battleship issued its first order to take over the flagship of the Japanese decoy fleet, that is, ordered the decoy fleet to disrupt the fleet formation and began to escape their own lives. I have to say that this order can be regarded as a sensible combat order, but the time for issuing it is a little late.
Because it was in the sky, the second batch of attacking forces of the US Navy Air Force had already been killed. One American aircraft after another began to dive down from the clouds. Unlike the first time, the US aircraft that arrived this time was loaded with more torpedo attack aircraft.
"Report" on the east side of the Japanese Navy's Eastern Mobile Fleet, that is, the bridge of the battleship of the No. 56 Yamamoto rapid battleship strike fleet, an officer pressed the command knife with one hand, holding a message in one hand. Walking behind Yamamoto 56: "My Excellency, Marshal, send a telegram to the battleship USS."
"Nian" Yamamoto didn't look back. He stood at his position, coldly watching the calm sea waves cut by the bow of his battleship. His fleet is advancing at full speed, only a short distance of 100 kilometers away from the predicted position of the US Navy fleet.
"The battleship Ise is sinking and has lost all contact. As the commander of the highest rank on the scene, I have replaced the flagship command, ordered the fleet to disband the formation, and withdrew from the battle Miura Jiro Daisuke." The officer finished. The message stood on the spot with respect, waiting for further instructions from Yamamoto.
Fifty-six Yamamoto raised his head, looked at the sky with thin clouds, and nodded and said, "The decoy fleet has completed their mission, and now it is up to me and Nan Yunzhong's fleet of one or two. They both Is a qualified Great Japanese Emperor, we have to avenge these dead comrade-in-arms. "
"Hi" all the officers present bowed their heads and bowed their waists respectfully. They all hold their breath, as long as they let them rush into the formation of the US aircraft carrier fleet, then it is time for them to use skilled artillery shooting to hit the US Navy.
What these people did not know was that an American reconnaissance plane had penetrated the clouds and found the white spray cut by the fleet on the ocean. The pilot behind the plane had pressed his hand on the telegraph transmitter and issued a An important message came: "Scout 015 spotted the Japanese fleet, the exact number is unknown"
"Woo ... Woo ..." Soon, a harsh alarm sounded in the US fleet. Many pilots were wearing their own equipment and inspecting their planes according to the emergency takeoff command. The American fleet is busy, and everyone is nervous about finding another Japanese fleet.
