Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2270 Angel with Broken Wings

Chapter 2270 Angel with Broken Wings
William Frederick Halsey Jr. nicknamed "Bull" was born in a military family, many of whom served in the U.S. Navy. His father graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1873 and was awarded the rank of Captain of the Navy.

After graduating from high school, Halsey failed to enter the U.S. Naval Academy and entered the University of Virginia to study medicine. Because Halsey's mother repeatedly pleaded with then-President William McKinley, Halsey was admitted and transferred to the U.S. Navy college.

While in school, Halsey's grades were mediocre, but his luck was very good. Before World War I, Halsey was ordered to command the destroyer "Frusser", and Franklin, who was also in charge of sea area surveying on this warship, Roosevelt forged a deep friendship.

Before the outbreak of the war, Halsey was promoted to vice admiral and commander of the aircraft carrier task force, commanding all aircraft carriers under the jurisdiction of the Pacific Fleet.

In the Pearl Harbor incident, all the aircraft carriers led by Halsey miraculously escaped without any loss, which can be called a miracle in the military history of mankind.

At the end of February, Halsey led three aircraft carriers including the USS Enterprise, USS Yorktown, and USS Hornet, and more than ten other US Navy ships arrived in Guam, where they joined the main force of the Indian Ocean Fleet led by Tang Li. Work together to deal with the attack of the United Fleet.

The "Enterprise", "Yorktown" and "Bumblebee" are all "Yorktown" class aircraft carriers built by the United States after the Brazilian Civil War. This class of aircraft carriers is a shrunken version of the "City" class aircraft carrier, with a carrying capacity of 80. The left and right are the current main aircraft carriers of the US Navy.

Compared with the task force led by Halsey, the Indian Ocean fleet led by Tang Li is more powerful. The three "island" class aircraft carriers and two "city" class aircraft carriers have a combined carrying capacity of more than 600 aircraft, and there are also With the cooperation of the army and aviation troops stationed on the island, Tang Li believes that if the combined fleet enters the strike circle, there will be no return.

After arriving in Guam, Halsey called on the US military to boost morale: kill the Japs!Kill the Japs!Kill more japs!
Halsey's statement is deeply loved by Tang Li. Since the outbreak of the war, Tang Li has repeatedly declared that he will overthrow the Japanese mainland, which coincides with Halsey.

In the entire Mariana Islands, only Guam can dock dozens of large warships at the same time, and all the aircraft carriers of the coalition forces are parked in the port, which makes Harsilo worried.

Since the outbreak of the war, there have been many cases of warships being attacked in the military port.

The U.S. Pacific Fleet is also the biggest victim of raids.

All this had to make Halsey more vigilant. .

"Don't worry, there are more than ten destroyers and submarines patrolling inside and outside our port at any time. There are well-arranged mine arrays at the entrance and three anti-submarine nets. Unless the Japanese fly from the sky—but everything in the sky Flying objects cannot escape the radar warning." Tang Li is confident in the port's defense work, which is in charge of the Southern African Marine Corps.

The Southern African Navy has just raided Manila, so how could it be possible to make such a low-level mistake.

There is no need to doubt the military that is keen on confrontation training all over the world. It must be the southern African army. Even in peacetime, the southern African Ministry of National Defense will often hold confrontation training between various arms.

Raiding a port is not uncommon for the Southern African Navy. It is a daily training subject for the Southern African Navy. In previous exercises, there have been many successful cases where the Marine Corps and airborne troops jointly launched raids on military ports.

Speaking of airborne troops, not long ago, the [-]th Airborne Division of Southern Africa successfully carried out airborne on the liner Pawa in the Malay Peninsula, cut off the retreat of the Japanese Second Division, and surrounded the Japanese Second Division again.

Founded in 1873, the Second Division was one of the first six towns established by the Japanese army, known as the Sendai Division.

This division has a long history and has participated in a series of modern Japanese wars such as the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, and the July [-]th Incident, with outstanding achievements.

Last year, the Second Division was incorporated into the Japanese Southern Army and became the ace unit in the hands of Yamashita Fengwen.

The Second Division is also the last reserve team in the hands of Yamashita Fengwen. If the Second Division is annihilated, it will mean the complete defeat of the Japanese army in the Malay Peninsula Campaign.

"The Japanese are extremely arrogant, cruel and crazy. We can't have any illusions about the Japanese." Halsey was determined to avenge the fallen officers and soldiers of the Pacific Fleet and not take a single prisoner.

"We are launching counterattacks against the Japanese army on multiple battlefields in the Southeast Asian theater at the same time. It is very difficult for the Japanese to enter our defense circle, so why don't you go to sleep, Lieutenant General, you need to rest now." Tang Li said to Ha Elsie's body was worried.

You can choose the wrong name, but you can’t choose the wrong nickname. Halsey is a real "bull". People shudder.

Tang Li's temperament changed with the continuous improvement of his position, did he move his energy to support his body? Now Tang Li's personality has been restrained a lot, and his body is also a little fatter. He looks like a harmless Maitreya Buddha.

But only those who are familiar with Tang Li know that once Tang Li gets angry, it is very scary.

Immediately after Tang Li arrived in the Mariana Islands, all Japanese descendants living in the Mariana Islands were centralized and managed, which seriously violated the relevant regulations in southern Africa.

During the two world wars, southern Africa never blamed the relevant groups who had immigrated to southern Africa and joined the southern African nationality because of the war.

This is unbelievable nowadays. There are still many German concentration camps in the UK.

There are more concentration camps for Japanese Americans in the United States. After the Pearl Harbor incident, Japanese Americans shouted and beat them, and they were also imprisoned in concentration camps for centralized management by the Americans.

Of course, compared with the Japanese prisoner-of-war camps, the concentration camps of the Americans are much milder. At least the Japanese who were imprisoned in the concentration camps had food to eat.

Not so in Southern Africa.

This has a lot to do with the actual situation in southern Africa.

Few men of Japanese descent can join southern Africa, and most of the Japanese descendants who become nationalities in southern Africa are women who immigrated to southern Africa through intermarriage.

The attitude of these Japanese women towards the country is a bit vague, and they don't have much affection for Japan, and they regard themselves as pure southern Africans.

Statistics show that after the outbreak of the war, the proportion of war donations from Japanese families was very high. Among all the ethnic groups in southern Africa, Chinese were the only ones, and the Japanese who joined southern Africa were rarely bought by Japanese intelligence agencies.

Many people don't know that the people who are most likely to be bought by Japanese intelligence agencies are of British origin. The Federal Government of Southern Africa does not disclose this point.

"Don, how can I sleep, if I can, I want to launch an attack on the Japanese mainland now." Halsey is worthy of being a bull. When he speaks, his nostrils will expand, as if he will blow out two puffs of smoke at any time .

So even though Halsey was very angry now, Tang Li still couldn't feel Halsey's anger, and even wanted to laugh a little.

At this time, Guam was actually under the joint administration of Southern Africa and the United Kingdom.

Up to now, Guam is the headquarters of the Pacific Fleet, but the main force of the Pacific Fleet is not in Guam but in Pearl Harbor. This shows that the US government is also very vigilant about Japan.

After the outbreak of the Pearl Harbor incident, the United States almost gave up on Guam, leaving only one battalion of less than 500 U.S. troops stationed in Guam.

Like the Changi Naval Base during the British rule, although the United States has complete port facilities in Guam, because Guam is too close to the Japanese mainland, the US government does not even dare to deploy the main force of the Pacific Fleet in Guam. It is very vigilant against the Japanese. high.

After Halsey came to Guam, he said the famous sentence to the US troops stationed in Guam: Kill the Japs!Kill the Japs!Kill more japs!
Not far from Halsey and Tang Li, a patrol team of Southern African Marine Corps was patrolling the pier.

Americans are as rich and powerful as southern Africa. Guam has very good natural conditions and perfect port facilities. There are searchlights everywhere on the pier, and there are street lights after nightfall. It is one of the ports with the most advanced facilities in the Pacific Ocean. The Americans But even warships dare not enter.

"Don't worry, you'll be busy after the Japanese come over." Tang Li raised his hand to look at his watch, the time was 02:30 in the afternoon.

On the sea 1500 kilometers away, Yamamoto 56 is sitting on the bridge of the battleship "Nagato", playing with a gold pocket watch.

Yamamoto 56 did not choose the most powerful "Yamato" as its flagship, but chose "Nagato", which is the habit of Yamamoto 56.

In front of Yamamoto 56 is a huge and delicate sand table, the center of which is Guam.

Yamamoto 56 frowned, the United Fleet is powerful, but Yamamoto 56 did not have much confidence, and even felt a little pessimistic. The United Fleet sank and damaged all the battleships of the Pacific Fleet, but all three aircraft carriers escaped. Now the Pacific Fleet has made a comeback, and the United Fleet But because of the damage to "Chicheng" and "Canglong", their strength has been greatly reduced.

"Akagi" and "Canglong" were not completely sunk, and they are still sitting in the port of Manila, but Yamamoto 56 had to give up, which made Yamamoto 56 very heartbroken.

If possible, Yamamoto 56 would rather stick to the Japanese mainland and wait for the combined fleet of southern Africa and the United States to launch an attack, so that the combined fleet can still use land aviation aircraft to circle around.

The reality is extremely cruel. Allied bombers taking off from the Mariana Islands airport can directly bomb the Japanese mainland. With the capabilities of southern Africa and the United States, even if the ground troops are not invested, the bomber force can also bomb the Japanese mainland. Yamamoto 56 had to attack .

The only thing Yamamoto 56 can pray for now is that the joint fleet can reach the offshore waters of Guam smoothly.

This is obviously impossible. The main ships of the United Fleet are all out. There are more than 400 ships of various types. Not only are there submarines of the Allied forces under the sea, but there are ubiquitous reconnaissance planes in the sky. The speed of the United Fleet is not fast. It is obviously out of luck. Japanese here.

Once discovered by the Allied Forces, bombers will soon swarm over the sky. Both sides know the strengths and weaknesses of themselves and their opponents. The United Fleet hopes to get as close as possible to southern Africa and the fragile aircraft carrier of the United States. The Allied Forces must Keep a distance from the United Fleet. Once the battleships of the United Fleet approach, the Allied Aircraft Carrier is very dangerous.

But getting closer is easier said than done.

In Manila, Yamamoto 56 has already seen the combat effectiveness of the Southern African Air Force. The overwhelming number of fighters is simply hopeless. They are not only large in number but also superior in performance. Let Yamamoto 56 start to waver for the first time about the prospect of war.

"The latest information shows that there are at least 8 Allied aircraft carriers within the Mariana Islands, including the Army Air Force, and our opponents may have more than 1000 fighters." The captain of the Nagato battleship Yano Hero forwarded the latest information, this The information was delivered a bit late, and the fleet kept radio silent after departure, and could only receive but not send.

Yamamoto 56's expression did not fluctuate at all, the speed of the pocket watch flying at the fingertips was not affected, and there was no turning back when he opened the bow. Even if there were [-] fighter jets in Guam, the United Fleet could only go one way to black.

"Keep going—" Yamamoto 56 turned on his pocket watch to check the time, it was now ten past three in the afternoon.

The weather was not good at this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the clouds were very low.

A seaplane belonging to the US Pacific Fleet suddenly penetrated the clouds and appeared above the combined fleet.

The pilot was stunned by the spectacular scene in front of him. The sea was densely packed with Japanese warships, such as "Yamato", "Nagato", "Mutsu" and so on. Almost all the battleships in service of the United Fleet were among them.

"Turn around, turn around—" the co-pilot's voice trembled, and Japanese fighter jets had already taken off from the aircraft carrier.

The pilot did not turn around, but desperately tried to pull the plane up and re-enter the clouds, which is the correct way to escape.

The communication officer in the cabin immediately sent a telegram to Guam, even if it is dead, it is worth dying.

The fighter plane that the Japanese took off was the "Zero", although its performance was not as good as the "Cheetah" in southern Africa, it was much better than a seaplane.

Two "Zero" quickly approached the seaplane trying to penetrate the clouds, and one "Zero" suddenly opened fire at a distance of 400 meters from the seaplane.

The pilots who are qualified to fly the "Zero" must be the elite of the military, and it is not difficult to fly a bulky seaplane at a distance of 400 meters.

The 7.7mm aviation machine gun bullets damaged the wings of the seaplane and simultaneously tore open the belly of the seaplane.

The seaplane suddenly fell from the sky with huge black smoke like a swan with its neck broken.

It was the first seaplane lost by the Allies in the Battle of Guam.

And the only one.

Then it was the turn of the real fighter plane to appear. The seaplane successfully sent a warning to the fleet before being shot down. It had completed its mission, and the three pilots died.
