Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
Although the loss of two aircraft carriers and the current situation of the US fleet is also quite dangerous, Spruance decided to continue to fight because he knows that the United States cannot accept a defeat now, he must win all the time to be stable. Live Congress impeachment of supporters Nimitz and Roosevelt behind him.
So according to this idea, he naturally ruled out the humiliating idea of ​​keeping the fleet away. What he is thinking now is how to make this naval battle a victory, a great victory for the US Navy.
"Okay! Ok! I get it! Thank you for everything you did for the United States!" An adjutant put down the phone and walked quickly to Spruance's side, reporting to him: "General ! Just news from a seaplane, they found the Japanese naval fleet on the west side, the coordinates are almost the same as you guessed. "
"Take off the attack plane immediately! Fight back along the way of the Japanese naval carrier aircraft! I want to make sure to sink these Japanese aircraft carriers! Do you understand?" Spruance glanced at the aviation liaison officer behind him and gritted his teeth. .
"Yes, sir!" The officer stood up and saluted, and hurriedly issued the order of the attack. The quality of the US Navy ’s carrier aircraft is not much better than that of the Japanese, but they do overwhelm their opponents in quantity. Even if the two aircraft carriers are on fire and slowly sinking, the number of US Navy ’s carrier aircraft is still much higher than that of the Japanese army.
This wave of Japanese attack aircraft has about 40 aircraft, which is almost half of the entire Japanese naval aviation force. In other words, Japan will maintain this strength in its next attack, but it will not be able to fight again. As long as they can withstand these two waves of Japanese attacks, the US Navy has survived the most dangerous period of time.
Thinking of this, Spruance found himself still alive, as long as this wave of counterattacks to the Nanyun Fleet's carrier aircraft could complete the combat mission, then he could even kill the entire Japanese Navy Fleet and take Yamamoto's 56 home All the "United Fleet" sank in Solomon.
But soon another news came that a staff member reported to General Spruance that the two USS Washington and the North Carolina battleships were blocked by a returning Japanese battleship. Thing: "Now the two sides are shelling, the Japanese navy's shelling ability is very strong, and the battle situation is very fierce now."
"..." The Japanese warship went back so lifelessly, which shocked the senior officers of the US Navy. They had heard that there were many Japanese soldiers who were not afraid of death, but today they are really crazy. Who can guarantee that when he finally escapes from the ghost gate, he can still make the decision to kill it again?
"Tell Halsey! Let him keep the speed of returning home and sink the Japanese battleship again!" Spruance also revealed his fierce side as a soldier at this time, squeezing his fist in a fierce tone. .
What he thinks is particularly simple, that is, since his battle plan has been disrupted, now he has a combat purpose, that is, to pull more Japanese warships into the water to sink one is one, pulling as much as possible. The Japanese warships sank together, this is his tactic.
"Let the battleships Colorado and Mississippi continue to move east, and we must prevent the Japanese battleships from approaching the fleet!" Spruance continued to adjust the already chaotic formation of the US fleet. He tried hard to complete his original plan. Even if the two new battleships could not return to the defensive position on time, they would have to distance themselves from the two battleships in Yamamoto's fifty-six.
When the Japanese battleship Colorado attacked Pearl Harbor, it was already severely injured. If it is a peaceful age, this serious injury may not be repaired within two years. However, the US military did everything in its power to finally let this battleship catch up with the battle of Solomon Islands. But what role this battleship can play, only Heaven knows.
The battleship is now barely able to be opened, and its main gun cannot be fired, thinking that it will disintegrate the temporarily fixed internal support structure. And it can only drive a speed of 15 knots, which is no faster than the transport ship behind. The main purpose of letting it follow along the way is to let it serve as a turret to support the US military landing in the Solomon Islands.
But after all, people are not as good as the sky. The US Navy and the Japanese Navy opened the prelude to the battle of the Solomon Islands with no warning. The half fixed turret that was originally intended to support the landing of the Marine Corps is now used as a A decisive battle battleship is on the outermost periphery of the entire fleet.
To say that this Colorado is actually really related to the Japanese Nagato-class battleships. It was called "force g7" because of the same caliber of their main guns, so if they are allowed to fight under the same conditions, it is really possible. Evenly matched.
It is a pity that the Japanese Navy gritted its teeth in 1937 to complete the modernization of the two battleships Nagano and Mutsu, and because of the impact of the financial crisis, the US Navy did not modify the Colorado class battleships on a large scale. The gap is a bit big.
Moreover, the internal damage of the Colorado is very serious, and it is completely a shelf. As long as you know the inside story, the current battleship Colorado, even the crispy battlecruisers, are not counted as "large cruisers."
"No way! Now we can only assign tasks like this! Before the battleships USS Washington and North Carolina return, Japan's east fleet can only rely on the old battleships and ourselves." Spruance stared Looking at the chart, the threat from the east was temporarily ignored. He must now calm down and concentrate on completing the pinnacle between the US Navy ’s aircraft carrier fleet and the Nanyun Zhongyi Air Fleet.
Excluding the threat from the flanks, what the American fleet now needs to face is the upright battle between carrier-based aircraft. Just now, the US carrier-based aircraft had already set off and killed South China ’s Zhongyi aircraft carrier fleet. After a round of calling, the US Navy now had the first chance.
The Japanese ’s 40 carrier-based aircraft do not survive, and most of them were shot down by the superior US aircraft and anti-aircraft artillery. Suffered a lot of losses.
In the command bridge of the aircraft carrier Chicheng, a Japanese officer walked behind Nan Yunzhong, and Bi Gong handed out a document in his hand, bowing his head and said: "My Excellency, the 41 ships carried by our army The first attack of the aircraft sank two U.S. aircraft carriers, and the remaining four carrier aircraft are returning. "
"Yo Xi! They did very well! They deserved to be the loyal soul of my Great Japanese Imperial Navy!" Nan Yunzhong's eyes lit up as soon as he heard the news of the sinking of two US aircraft carriers. Yamamoto ’s fifty-six plan now seems to have been at least more than half successful. As long as the entire US main fleet is annihilated, it will only be a matter of time before the Japanese navy makes a comeback.
However, as a general who has commanded the naval carrier aircraft for a long time, Nan Yun Zhongyi also realized his current situation. He now runs out of his own chips. What kind of ending will this war end in? It is not his own. Can be controlled.
Yamamoto ’s entire plan, to put it bluntly, was to get a chance for a Japanese naval aviation to attack first. Yamamoto hoped that this wave of attack would make a final decision, and Nanyun also planned to do so. But who could have imagined that the US Navy had resisted his first wave of attacks, and now that the positions of the three Japanese fleets have been exposed, the two sides finally "candidly met".
"Immediately take off more fighters! Prepare to face the US attack aircraft fleet! Let the fleet upgrade from the second-level air defense alert status to the first-level air defense alert status!" Nan Yunzhong issued a combat command at once.
At this time, he could not run, because turning around and running away was tantamount to saying that the entire Japanese battleship fleet was thrown to the Americans, so he could only continue to attack with his scalp, after attacking the United States under the first wave of defense, attack the United States again fleet. As the commander of this air fleet, he is confident to take his fleet and withstand the attacks of the US Navy.
"Woo ... Woo ...!" The siren in the Japanese navy ship also began to sound. The originally flat anti-aircraft gun began to point to the sky. Nan Yunzhong stared at the sky and saw the fleet of American aircraft, rushing out of the clouds in the sky.
On top of his head, the circling Japanese Zero fighters roared and greeted them. In the distant sky, the two aircraft formations were so intertwined that they drew a blue line into the blue sky. The formation of the US military aircraft was disrupted. The Japanese aircraft and the US aircraft were in a mess and began to fight each other.
An American plane was shot down, and the pilot opened his parachute in the sky. The plane lost the pilot ’s control and dragged a heavy smoke into the sea of ​​the Pacific Ocean. The flames of the explosion stood on the south of the bridge. Yun Zhongyi saw it clearly. He also saw an American fighter jet chasing a Japanese zero-fighter jet. He also saw his destroyer shoot down another American airplane.
"The number of planes in the United States has been reduced, so their superiority in terms of total number cannot be brought into play!" Nan Yunzhong sneered, pressing the command knife in his waist with his hand, and said to the people around him: "As long as my fleet We can withstand this wave of US carrier-based offensive and we will win! "
