Invincible from the sword

Chapter 402 What's the joke?
As for the issue of carrier-based aircraft pilots, it is indeed a headache.

Fortunately, the problem is not particularly serious.

The new pilots were mainly added to the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier.

The pilots on the USS Enterprise and USS Hornet aircraft carriers are still very capable in combat.

Especially the dive bomber team leader on the USS Enterprise and the dive bomber team leader Nerrit on the USS Hornet.

These two people are lunatics.

Stance bombers are completely unreasonable.

And the technology is very awesome.

He is the best among carrier-based aircraft pilots.

Absolute master.

The pilots under their hands also have rich combat experience.

Want to bomb the Japanese aircraft carrier, these pilots are the main force.

Helpless, Nimitz gave a death order to the personnel who repaired the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier in Pearl Harbor.

In any case, after 72 hours, Yorktown must be repaired.

The base maintenance personnel who received this order thought they had heard it wrong.

72 hours? ? ?
What a joke! ?

This is an aircraft carrier.

The person in charge of maintenance wanted to swear.

But looking at Nimitz's gloomy face, he swallowed the words.

Isn't it 72 hours?

What a fool!
So the maintenance personnel at the base simply abolished the maintenance regulations.

In this case, if the maintenance regulations are followed, the repairs will not be completed in a month.

If you don't follow the rules, it will be much faster.

While the entire Pearl Harbor was busy, the battleships of the Japanese Combined Fleet were also secretly gathering.

According to the request of Yamamoto 56, the fleet attacking the Aleutian Islands was assembled on the northern island of the island country.

The fleet attacking Midway assembled at Yokosuka.

After these warships are assembled, the aircraft carrier will receive new carrier-based aircraft.

In the Battle of the Coral Sea, the Japanese army lost a lot of carrier-based aircraft.

Replenishment must be done as soon as possible.

And several light aircraft carriers also need to supplement carrier-based aircraft.

Yamamoto 56's original idea was to replace all fighter jets on the aircraft carrier with Type Zero.

But after inquiring about the weapons headquarters of the island country, it was found that it was impossible.

Although the island country Zero fighter is very powerful, the output is too low.

And part of it will be given to the army of the island country.

Of course, this is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, which produces Zero fighters, has a serious shortage of raw materials.

This greatly limited the production of Zero fighters.

Although the designer of the Zero fighter, Kokoshi Jiro, has optimized the Zero fighter as much as possible.

Many aircraft parts were replaced with wood.

And the protection of the entire aircraft is also reduced.

However, there is still a serious shortage of aircraft raw materials.

In desperation, Yamamoto 56 could only decide to deploy the latest Type Zero fighter on the main aircraft carrier.

Older aircraft like Type [-] are deployed on light aircraft carriers.

At first, there was nothing wrong with this decision.

But soon, Yamamoto 56 received the telegram.

It is said that the light aircraft carrier Falcon Eagle of their island country actually stole [-] Zero fighter jets from the airport!
Damn it!

Yamamoto 56 thought he heard it wrong.

How is this possible?
Are the devils in charge of handover at the airport really stupid?

The Falcon Eagle aircraft carrier is, at best, a small one.

It is simply incomparable with aircraft carriers of the level of Canglong and Feilong.

In fact, the aircraft carrier Falcon Eagle was refitted with a luxury cruise ship from an island country.

Performance is pretty rubbish.

Small tonnage.

slow.

Only thirty aircraft can be accommodated.

According to the combat plan, the aircraft carrier Falcon Eagle followed the main formation and pretended to attack the Aleutian Islands.

Since it was a feint attack, that is to say, just put on a show.

What kind of Zero fighter do you want!
The Type [-] fighter is enough for them.

All Zero fighters should be placed in the formation attacking Midway Island.

But it's too late.

The Falcon Hawk has already arrived at Ituru Island.

It would be a waste of time to order the Falcon Hawk to come back.

And it was also a blow to the pilots of the carrier-based aircraft on the USS Falcon Eagle.

So be wrong.

This made the Japanese commander of the Hiryu aircraft carrier very dissatisfied.

Those thirty zero fighters should have belonged to him! !

This doggy Falcon Eagle! !

Come back and settle accounts with you.

In desperation, the Flying Dragon aircraft carrier had to carry thirty Type [-] fighters.

After the fleet was assembled, under the command of Yamamoto 56, the huge Japanese fleet set off.

By order of Yamamoto 56, all fleets maintained radio silence.

Wait until after the attack range, and then turn on the machine.

For this operation, Yamamoto 56 is full of confidence.

His strength is several times that of Nimitz.

If there are no accidents, the complete annihilation of the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Country this time will not be a problem at all.

Yamamoto56 was very excited.

As long as he thinks of being able to wipe out the fleet of the Lighthouse Country, Yamamoto 56 becomes a little incontinent with excitement.

idiot.

As I get older, my body really can't do it anymore.

Prostate problems.

And the army troops of the island country are not idle.

Under the order of Terauchi Shouichi, the Japanese No. 15 Army began a large-scale landing.

Because the Pacific Fleet of the lighthouse country was attracted to Midway Island.

Moreover, the Japanese army also deployed several destroyers to protect the troop carrier.

Therefore, the No.15 Japanese Army landed in Darwin Port very smoothly.

In three days, Ananweiji's No.15 Army had all arrived in Darwin Port.

His vanguard has even advanced to Bodham, [-] kilometers away from Darwin Port.

Throughout the landing process, there was no resistance at all.

After his vanguard reached Birdham, the troops there had already retreated early.

It went surprisingly smoothly.

This surprised Ananwei quite a bit.

If this had always been the case, his No.15 army would have completely occupied the Kangaroo Country in just half a month.

This result made Temple Shouichi very excited.

Suo ga.

If he can occupy the kangaroo country, then the name of Shouichi in his temple can even surpass that of Shunliu Hata!
At that time, the position of Minister of War of the island country will be his.

What Terauchi Shouichi is most concerned about now is the post of Minister of War of the island country.

This position is the absolute core in the island country.

Shouichi in the temple was filled with emotion.

He is not too young.

If you don't become the Minister of War of the island country, you probably won't have much chance in the future.

If he can occupy the kangaroo country this time, he, Shouichi Terauchi, will have no problem squeezing Hata Shunroku out.

This idea, he and Hideki Tojo communicated in private.

Hideki Tojo fully supports.

Anyway, Hata Shunroku and Tojo are not of one mind.

Everyone in the base camp of the entire island country knows this in their hearts.

After all, Hata Shunroku's biggest reliance is the Kwantung Army.

And Tojo's biggest reliance is the North China Dispatch Army and the Central China Dispatch Army.

And Terauchi Shouichi's southern dispatch army.

Although the current commander of the Central China Dispatch Army is Madoka Dohi, Hata Shunroku's confidant, it is difficult for Madoka Dohi to command the entire Central China Dispatch Army.

The No.11 army in the Central China Dispatch Army, the current commander is Isamu Terauchi.

At that time, Youzuka Yoshio and Yamamoto 56 single-handedly promoted him.

The position of commander of the No.11 Army was also approved by him, Tojo himself.

Serious people of their own.

As for the second army in the Central China Dispatch Army, the commander is King Nianyan.

This guy is His Majesty's dry uncle.

Not to mention that the soil is fat and round, even Hata Junliu can't command.

In fact, the second army basically had no one to move except for the dog locust.

Even he, Tojo, must give way to King Yanyan three points.

Originally Tojo Hideki was very tolerant of Hata Shunroku.

For him, after all, they are all in the battle order of the island country army.

But Hata Shunroku didn't think so.

He still wants to keep Tojo, he will be the prime minister.

This made Tojo feel a huge crisis.

Damn.

I invite you to dinner, but you are thinking about my restaurant!

This cannot be tolerated.

So Tojo had the idea of ​​getting Hata Shunroku down.

In Tojo's view, now is a good opportunity.

At present, the entire eastern battlefield has stabilized.

After the Battle of Wuhan, the troops of their island country have completely entered defensive operations.

Basically not taking the initiative to attack.

In this case, large-scale battles will not take place in a short period of time.

The troops in his Tojo's hands can take advantage of this time to step up training.

At that time, the recruits and devils in the North China Dispatch Army and the Central China Dispatch Army will soon improve their combat capabilities.

Weapons and equipment can also be improved a lot.

At that time, Tojo will be able to get rid of his dependence on the Kwantung Army.

Besides, his Southern Dispatch Army is progressing smoothly.

Now Anan Weiji's No.15 Army has all landed from Darwin Port.

If it goes well, it will not be a problem to occupy the Kangaroo Country within a month.

Kangaroo Country is also rich in mineral resources.

At that time, even if the situation in the eastern battlefield is not optimistic, their island country can still withdraw from the eastern battlefield and all enter the kangaroo country.

Now that this battle has been fought, Tojo's original strategic plan has been shaken a bit.

On the eastern battlefield, the resistance of the national army and the Eighth Route Army is too strong.

Far exceeded his expectations.

Originally, he thought that with the strong military strength of the island country, he could completely occupy the East within three months.

The results are all years old now, and the battle is still going on.

And the troops in the east are fighting more and more courageously.

The elite troops of their island country army suffered more than half of their casualties.

After fighting like this, Tojo didn't even dare to think about what would happen in the end.

This is completely different from what he expected.

If they don't change their thinking, their island army may be defeated.

Whenever Tojo thought of this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

It is too difficult to defeat Dongfang.

This is Tojo's true feelings during this time.
