Invincible from the sword

Chapter 247 Artillery caliber is justice

Inside the combined fleet headquarters of the island nation's navy.

Yamamoto 56 is discussing the attack on the lighthouse country with a group of staff.

The Pacific Fleet of the lighthouse country is the biggest threat to their island navy.

If the island nation wants to occupy Southeast Asia and South Asia, the first and most important opponent of their island navy is the Pacific Fleet of the lighthouse nation.

Yamamoto 56 has been very worried about how to defeat the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Country.

This bastard knew it very well.

The combined naval fleet of their island country can at most draw a tie with the Pacific Fleet of the lighthouse country.

Regardless of the number of warships or tonnage, the combined fleet in his hands is similar to the Pacific Fleet.

The only thing that can be sold now, which is better than the lighthouse country, is the carrier-based aircraft on their aircraft carrier.

Now the practical carrier-based aircraft on his aircraft carrier is the latest Zero fighter designed and manufactured by the island country.

Performance is excellent.

It can completely suppress all the current fighter jets in the Lighthouse country.

The only downside is that the protection ability is really not very good.

For maximum mobility, the Type Zero is designed to be very light.

So things like protective armor are directly cancelled.

As a result, the entire fighter is a huge flying coffin.

Just getting hit by a single bullet pretty much exploded.

As for the pilot, the probability of survival is zero.

Fortunately, the pilots of their island country are still enough to use.

But even so, it is impossible to destroy the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse State in one fell swoop.

As the combined fleet commander of the island nation, Yamamoto 56 is very familiar with warships.

Those thick armors, even if they were hit by more than a dozen shells, basically would not sink.

Unless it hits a key position.

Moreover, their island country is separated from the Pacific Fleet of the lighthouse country by a huge Pacific Ocean.

If it's head-to-head, it's hard to say who wins or loses.

The best way to destroy the Pacific Fleet is to use a large number of torpedoes to attack while all the warships of the Pacific Fleet are in their home port.

Torpedoes are much more powerful than shells on battleships.

Moreover, the location of the torpedo attack is below the waterline of the battleship, so there is a greater possibility of sinking the battleship.

In the end, Yamamoto 56 decided to use a sneak attack.

This is the only possible way to win.

The main weapon used in the sneak attack is the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier.

But this method, Yamamoto 56 has no idea.

This method of attack has no precedent at all.

In the past, aircraft carriers were used as auxiliary warships.

Now it is suddenly going to become the core of the entire fleet's offensive, whether it will work or not, Yamamoto 56 doesn't know.

So when this idea came out, many naval staff officers of island countries were shocked.

I don't think it will work at all.

Naval battles, of course, rely on huge battleships.

Gun caliber is justice.

This is the essence of naval warfare.

Sneak attack with an aircraft carrier?
Isn't this a joke?
Many naval commanders of island countries feel that Yamamoto 56's idea is too unrealistic.

However, this strengthened Yamamoto 56's confidence.

Even the islanders themselves couldn't think of it, and the lighthouse country couldn't even think of it.

Soon, Yamamoto 56 perfected this bold plan.

And it was submitted to the base camp of the island country for consideration.

The whole program is huge.

Hideki Tojo was stunned.

Yamamoto 56's sneak attack plan on the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Country is divided into two parts as a whole.

Part of it is to resort to diplomatic deception before the official sneak attack.

Let them island countries specially send ambassadors to negotiate with the lighthouse countries on war issues.

Bewitching the Beacon Country.

To provide time for the joint fleet training of their island nation.

At the same time, collect all information on the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Country.

Prepare for a sneak attack.

In order to ensure the confidentiality of the combined fleet training, the warships of the combined fleet left Tokyo Bay in batches and went to Hokkaido for sneak attack training.

The other part is the formal attack plan.

Yamamoto 56 has envisioned three routes for the sneak attack.

They are the North Line, Central Line and South Line respectively.

Because each has pros and cons, it has not yet been finalized.

It will be implemented at that time depending on the specific situation.

To participate in the sneak attack, Yamamoto 56 plans to send almost [-] warships and submarines.

These include six aircraft carriers.

The main force of the attack is the torpedo attack aircraft.

The code name of the plan is: Huhuhu.

Hideki Tojo's scalp felt numb.

idiot.

This Yamamoto 56 is simply a lunatic.

He would actually come up with such a way.

Although the risk is great, the possibility of realization is also great.

The base camp of the entire island country quickly passed the Yamamoto 56 plan.

The approval of the plan lifted Yamamoto 56's spirits.

Immediately began secret training and continued combat deduction.

Although the plan passed.

But 56 Yamamoto knew very well that in order to be successful, all factors had to be considered.

The first is the Pacific Fleet base in the lighthouse country, Hawaii.

There is a small island.

The water depth of the entire base is almost 15 meters.

With such a water depth, if the torpedo plane drops a torpedo, the torpedo will be inserted directly into the mud.

Can't float at all.

Then there are their pilots, who must be familiar with the warships of the entire Pacific Fleet.

What worries Yamamoto 56 the most is how to drive his sneak attack fleet within the attack range.

idiot.

This is a very complex plan.

Weather, hydrology, intelligence, weapons, everything must be accurate.

When Yamamoto 56 was worried, the No.20 Fifth Army was formally formed with the participation of Hideki Tojo in the island country headquarters.

No.20 Commander of the Fifth Army, served by Yamashita Fengwen.

The reason why Yamashita Fengwen was appointed as the commander of the No.20 Fifth Army is because Yamashita Fengwen and Yamamoto 56 are the same.

They were two bastards and married a pair of sisters.

have a common father-in-law.

And this time going south, whether it is projecting troops or supporting warships, close cooperation is required.

With this level of relationship, cooperation is not a problem.

The whole southward plan is also huge.

In order to facilitate command operations, another army was set up under the No.20 Fifth Army, the Japanese No.14 Army.

The task of the No.14 Army is relatively simple, which is to attack the Filipino servant country.

The commanding officer is Yaharu Monkaku.

According to the specifications, the No.20 Fifth Army should be the same as the North China Front Army, belonging to the general army of the island country.

But because Yamashita Fengwen is now only the lieutenant general of the island country.

At this level, it is impossible to serve as the commander of the general army.

Moreover, if Yamashita Fengwen is directly appointed as the commander of the general army, it will cause dissatisfaction among the generals of other island countries.

Therefore, the entire Japanese army going south was not organized into the Southern Front Army, but became the No.20 Fifth Army.

The war machine of the island country is running crazily again.

Zhang Lei's analysis of the world situation made it impossible for Shancheng to sit still.

More than a dozen senior commanders of the national army felt that Zhang Lei's analysis was very reasonable.

This made the old man in Shancheng so excited that he could fly.

He immediately asked Dai Chunfeng to pass on Zhang Lei's analysis to the intelligence department of the Beacon Country.

In the eyes of the old man in Shancheng, this information is priceless.

In this way, the Lighthouse Country owed him a huge favor to the old man in Shancheng.

It can improve the relationship between the two countries in one fell swoop.

It would be absolutely fine for the Lighthouse Country to support him in the future.

The intelligence department of the lighthouse country is very familiar with Dai Chunfeng.

After receiving such news, they were all shocked.

I thought I was wrong.

watt? ? ?

Island countries want to fight our Pacific Fleet?

What plane are you doing?
This is simply not possible.

In the island country where farts are bigger, a fart can be blown from north to south.

How many times does he hit!

Most of the intelligence personnel of the lighthouse country do not believe it.

But after all, this is a telegram sent by Dai Chunfeng. If they ignore it, it seems a bit unreasonable.

Dai Chunfeng's name is very big.

This person is definitely a powerful figure in the East.

Davis, the director of the intelligence department of the Lighthouse State, felt that it was necessary to send this information to the leader of the Lighthouse State.

Whether it's true or not, there's nothing wrong with making the necessary preparations.

Moreover, just to be on the safe side, Davis immediately sent a telegram to Dai Chunfeng.

I want him to send the person who discovered this information to the lighthouse country.

In this way, in case the leader asks, he can give a detailed explanation.

After all, this information is too shocking.

Dai Chunfeng, who received Davis's telegram, did not dare to make decisions without authorization.

This kind of matter involving two countries needs to be decided by the old man in Shancheng.

The old man in Shancheng felt that the request from the Beacon Country was normal.

So he agreed with a wave of his hand.

In the eyes of the old man in Shancheng, Zhang Lei would definitely agree.

And he also believed that the Eighth Route Army would not object.

Zhang Lei was chatting with Commander Su of the First Division of the New Fourth Army.

For Zhang Lei, the teacher is [-]% satisfied.

Now Zhang Lei and his temporary regiment are temporarily under his command, which makes the teacher very happy.

In this Changsha battle, Zhang Lei's performance was very eye-catching.

Command ability and analysis and judgment on the battlefield are simply miracles.

As the highest officer of the Ninth War Zone, Tiger Boy sent a letter of thanks to them specifically for the New Fourth Army.

At the same time, the old man in Shancheng also specially issued a commendation order for Zhang Lei.

The teacher's idea is to let Zhang Lei directly join the New Fourth Army.

But the Eighth Route Army headquarters in Shanxi disagreed with life and death.

This made the teacher very helpless.

It's a pity that a unit with such a strong combat effectiveness cannot stay.

So while Zhang Lei and the temporary regiment have not left yet, he wants Zhang Lei to lead the other troops under him.

Just as we were talking, the telegram came.

A soldier ran up with a telegram in his hand.

Seeing the content of the telegram, the teacher was immediately taken aback.

My goodness!

This mountain city old man, has he taken too much medicine?
Let Zhang Lei go to the Lighthouse Country?
Are you kidding me?
The telegram was sent from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi.
