Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
General Nan Yunzhong always believed that he was the commander with the deepest understanding of naval aviation in the world. With the efforts of him and Yamamoto, Japan ’s naval aviation was once the world ’s first, with the most powerful zero fighter, and the two Thousands of elite pilots who have experienced the test of war.
But in the face of the US Navy's dense carrier-based aircraft attacking the echelon, a pale sense of weakness made him almost unable to keep his body in a standing position.
Just now, his flagship aircraft carrier USS Chicheng was hit by a bomb dropped by an American aircraft, leaving a huge hole in the deck. Although it did not cause a fire and an explosion, he completely lost his carrier. The ability to continue taking off the aircraft to fight.
Although his battleship did not sink like the Mississippi battleship, nor did it overturn like the Japanese ship, but in this naval battle, it was already destined to no longer have the stage where the aircraft carrier Chicheng played, because it had been because of this The bomb that did n’t hurt, was out.
"Baga Yalu is just a bomb, can't it really be repaired?" Nan Yunzhong frowned at the damage control commander on the aircraft carrier Chicheng: "You need to know that this battle is a big battle For the Japanese Empire, it is crucial "
The officer bowed his head, and solemnly replied: "My lord, I really can't repair the damaged deck in a short time, even if I repair it with all my strength, days, days ... It's almost dark, and you still can't take off after two hours. Fighters fight. "
Yeah, even if the damage control soldiers repaired the aircraft carrier, the aircraft carrier could not fight at night, then the Japanese Navy's fleet still had to use two aircraft carriers to fight against the superior strength of the US military. Nan Yunzhong was shaken. He did not know whether it was time to retreat at this time, or whether he should stay on this position.
"Telegraph to Marshal Yamamoto, and ask him if we should continue to fight in place, or can we temporarily retreat?" Nan Yunzhong couldn't make up his mind, so he had to figure out the tricks that would never go wrong despite the stupid method: Ask His boss, fifty-six marshal Yamamoto.
Ask your superiors in all things, can't you go wrong? This is what Nan Yun Zhongyi thinks now. As everyone knows, the pressure on Zhanben's side is greater than that on him. At least he is still fighting, while Yamamoto's side is biting desperately to approach the US fleet.
Nan Yunzhong did not know the United States. He did not know how terrible the United States was in World War II. He did not know that at the end of World War II, the United States had mobilized more than 10 million soldiers and produced hundreds of aircraft carriers. Tens of thousands of tanks were produced by American factories and flooded the Great Japanese Empire like a flood.
Now he even finds that he does not know his opponents. He only knows that the commander of the US fleet is Spruns. This is already one of the few American intelligences he has received. This intelligence collection efficiency makes this The commander of a Japanese naval aviation body was covered with sweat and had an indescribable sense of danger.
The Japanese are good at understanding their opponents. Before sending the Sino-Japanese War with the Qing government, they sent thousands of spies and sneaked into China to gather intelligence. Even the things reported by the spies, most of the Chinese people do not understand well.
From the total amount of weapons produced by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration, to the mobilization mechanism of the entire China at that time, the bureaucracy and the military ’s war preparations and the determination of the high-level power class to fight, and so on. Collected by these spies, they have gathered into a detailed set of reports on China's situation and become the first-hand information for the Japanese military to study China.
Japan relied on such detailed information to win the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of no difference in strength and complete its rise. Today, Japan does not know the United States. It does not even know that the new aircraft carrier produced by the United States is about to be built or the actual size of the US fleet.
From the feedback from the first wave of attack aircraft formations, Nan Yunzhong got an information that he did not know before: the US fleet ’s aircraft carrier is not 4 or 5 estimated by the Japanese army, but has a total of 7 ships. Too much, which makes Nan Yun Zhongyi's fleet's ongoing mission simply impossible to complete. He underestimated the American air defense power and the American attack power.
After the Americans waged war with the Japanese, counter-espionage measures were taken. The first is to control the entire Japanese population in the United States, prevent them from engaging in sabotage, and avoid adversary spying. Even people from China and Southeast Asia who have traveled to the United States have been restricted in their activities. All Asian populations have lost the right to free movement in the United States.
As a result, all the intelligence networks built by the Japanese in the United States were paralyzed, and no trace of American intelligence could be detected. This kind of information inequality makes Japan a blind blind evil wolf. Although it is fierce, it can only bump like a headless fly.
"Intelligence agencies are incompetent. The Americans already have such a large carrier fleet. They even promised me that the Americans only have four aircraft carriers." Nan Yunzhong smiled bitterly and watched the rescuers in the crater on the deck. Around, repairing the damaged deck of the aircraft carrier Chicheng, murmured: "I have lost 40 planes, so if I go on, it will really be over."
The aircraft carrier Akagi was unable to take off its own aircraft, and the strength of the Japanese naval air force fell by a factor of two. Now it is a blessing that Japan ’s second wave of attack echelons can make up 30 aircraft. However, judging from the scale of the US Naval Air Force, it is estimated that if these 30 planes really take off and attack, they will almost end up with no return.
This is not the time to retreat. This is Nan Yun Zhongyi's idea. Now in this case, even if you run away with a determined heart, it will definitely not be much better in the end. It is really better to come down and fight with your opponent, and the net will be broken. In any case, you can leave a heroic name of a dead fight, so that you will not be scolded by future generations as a coward who is afraid of death.
Nan Yun Zhongyi's hand unconsciously squeezed the command knife that was carried on his waist, and then determined to use his fleet's destruction to win a better chance for Yamamoto 56. So he looked at his adjutant and issued an order to continue the offensive: "Order the two aircraft carriers Long Xiang and Kaga to take off the aircraft and carry out the second raid on the US Navy ’s aircraft carrier fleet. The gods will bless the Japanese martial arts for a long time "
At this time, the first wave of US attack aircraft had returned, so the Japanese naval fleet was also rescuing its broken fleet on the battlefield: two destroyers were burning with smoke, and one cruiser could only see one bow still floating. On the water, the ships of the Japanese Navy paid a heavy price to ensure the safety of the aircraft carrier, and countless sailors waited for the rescue vessel to salvage.
Nan Yunzhong did not know to what extent the 30 aircraft of the second wave of attack aircraft could do it, but he still prayed that these aircraft could easily sink two US aircraft carriers and complete the peerless reversal of the entire battlefield. At this time, his palms were full of sweat, I don't know whether it was because of tension or because the weather was too hot.
"Boom" Just when Nan Yun Zhongyi was considering whether to replace the flagship with the combatable Kaga aircraft carrier, the Chicheng aircraft carrier had a slight explosion. I don't know because what plane suddenly exploded. It also damaged the important lift on the aircraft carrier.
"There is nothing more to hesitate, send a signal to the Kaga, and I will transfer the headquarters there." Nan Yunzhong looked at the elevator on the smoked aircraft carrier deck and glanced at the men behind him: "Hurry up We do n’t have much time to put the boat. "
After the order was completed, he looked at the captain of the aircraft carrier Chicheng again, and then arranged: "I have arranged it. The destroyer Shiyu will provide cover to protect you all the way to the west and retreat to the homeland first. Please wait for our victory News, Long live the Great Japanese Empire "
"Hi" the captain didn't know whether he was excited because he heard he could get out, and felt safe for the time being; or because he heard the slogan of Long live the Great Japanese Empire. In short, he was very excited and stooped, bowing his head to Nan Yunzhong and saying, "Lord General, you also take care"
Nan Yunzhong waved his hand, and then he was surrounded by people and walked out of the command bridge. His commander's flag was slowly lowered little by little from the flagpole of the aircraft carrier Chicheng, and then the two sailors gathered together neatly and stacked them into a square. Nan Yun turned around after watching his flags being collected. With his entourage, guards, and staff, he jumped into the dinghy and faced the aircraft carrier Kaga on the slightly wavy ocean. Drive away.
What he did not expect was that this was the last time he left from the aircraft carrier Chicheng, and the last time the aircraft carrier Chicheng, as his flagship, emerged on the Pacific battlefield.
Half an hour later, the US Navy's aviation forces swarmed in, and the Japanese Navy's aircraft carrier Long Xiang was the first to be hit by an aviation bomb while avoiding torpedoes, and eventually overturned in the waters of the Solomon Islands. The destroyer Xuefeng was ordered to rescue the people on board the aircraft carrier Long Xiang, and then left the war zone. The entire Japanese First Air Force fleet suffered heavy losses, and the US Navy's attack aircraft went crazy as they attacked all the targets they could attack.
Then came the rare good news: the carrier aircraft on the Kaga sunk a US carrier. But then the Japanese Navy waited for the news of the annihilation of their carrier aircraft. Except for the 50 carrier aircraft that accompanied the Akagi leaving the battlefield, almost all of the carrier aircraft that the Japanese Navy participated in the war have been lost.
