Invincible from the sword

Chapter 416 The Judgment Is Surprisingly Accurate

Regarding the bullet production line that Zhang Lei mentioned, the chief was somewhat worried.

This thing is good.

But whether the Eighth Route Army can use it well is still a question.

After all, the Eighth Route Army is poor.

With the bullet production line, it would not work without the raw materials for producing bullets.

Zhang Lei said that raw materials are not a problem.

It made him feel weird.

The raw materials for making bullets are a big problem not only for the Eighth Route Army, but also for the old man in Shancheng or the Japanese army.

The casing of the bullet is made of brass.

Gunpowder is also a big problem.

The gunpowder made by the Eighth Route Army itself is of poor quality.

It works just fine with dynamite packs or grenades.

It is almost meaningless to make bullets, the gunpowder made by the Eighth Route Army themselves.

Can Zhang Lei solve these problems?

However, since Zhang Lei said he has a solution, let's wait until he comes back.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and the others are all overwhelmed with time.

This is the first regiment of the reorganization, because Zhang Lei has not come back yet, so there is nothing wrong with these people.

Now the Japanese army has also learned to be smart.

Nor sweep.

Just in a daze, bit by bit, the gun tower was covered and arched forward.

If you shoot him twice, he will still fix it.

Now the superiors will not let the first regiment of the reorganization be dispatched.

This Li Yunlong felt that he was rusty.

Without this thunder, life is boring.

Just when Li Yunlong and the others felt bored, Zhang Lei had already set off from Pearl Harbor and arrived in Kangaroo Country by plane.

The victory of the Battle of Midway Island lifted the spirits of Wheelchair Luo and Nimitz.

The victory of this battle brought their Pacific Fleet and the combined fleet of the Japanese army to a level at last.

And in Nimitz's view, his Pacific Fleet has begun to gain the upper hand compared to the Japanese combined fleet.

At least for Wheelchair Luo's troops, their commander will no longer be afraid of the Japanese army.

After Pearl Harbor, the troops of their lighthouse country have been retreating non-stop.

Either they were beaten or captured.

All the commanders of the Lighthouse Kingdom are in a state of panic.

As long as he heard that the Japanese army was coming, his face would turn pale with fright.

Not to mention commanding operations, it is already good to be able to retreat safely.

The most famous example is the pipe mike.

Before he fought against the Japanese army, Mike the Pipe was considered a famous general in the Lighthouse Country.

Commanded many battles.

And also served as the principal of the Lighthouse State West Point Military Academy.

It can be said that it has high weight.

But since the Filipino servant country was defeated by the Japanese army, Pipe Mike withered.

He was chased and beaten by the Japanese army.

From the country of Filipino servants to the country of kangaroos.

From the kangaroo country, I ran back to the lighthouse country.

Twice a mess was thrown at Stilwell.

They lost the face of their lighthouse country to grandma's house.

The battle of Midway Island this time can be regarded as an exhilaration for the wheelchair Luo Yang.

At least it shows that the Japanese army is not so strong that it is invincible.

As long as you fight hard, it is no problem to defeat the Japanese army.

Nimitz was very reluctant.

Zhang Lei is going to Kangaroo Country, and Nimitz is very opposed to it.

In his opinion, Zhang Lei's talents in Pearl Harbor brought out his greatest value.

Zhang Lei is too familiar with the methods and methods of the Japanese army.

The judgment is astonishingly accurate.

It is even more powerful than the intelligence department of his Pacific Fleet.

And Zhang Lei also said that the Japanese army will definitely take action next.

The failure of the Battle of Midway Island, the Japanese army will definitely not just forget it.

According to the style of the Japanese army, the next battle plan must be brewing now.

Zhang Lei told Nimitz that his judgment was that the focus of the Japanese army's next offensive should be in the South Pacific.

After all, the Japanese ground forces have already landed from Kangaroo Country.

Even if the Japanese army's goal of occupying Midway Island has not been realized, the Japanese army will change their thinking and take the complete occupation of the Kangaroo Country as their next goal.

In order to occupy the Kangaroo Country as soon as possible, in addition to the rapid advance of the ground forces, in order to ensure the safety of the Japanese ground forces, the Japanese army will definitely occupy New Guinea, the Marshall Islands and the Solomon Islands.

In this case, the Japanese army can cut off the link between the lighthouse country and the kangaroo country.

The joint forces of the Kangaroo Kingdom have a combined strength of 40.

A lot of supplies are needed.

If the route is cut off, it will be a devastating blow to the joint forces.

At that time, the Japanese ground forces will be able to completely occupy the Kangaroo Country.

For Zhang Lei's analysis, Nimitz agrees very much.

So she dare not be careless.

Immediately formulate the latest battle plan.

The good news is that there are two newly completed aircraft carriers that will be added to his Pacific Fleet in the next few days.

The Wasp and the Saratoga, respectively.

Both names are old names.

But a carrier is a new carrier.

The crew and carrier-based aircraft have been replenished.

Pearl Harbor can be reached in a few days.

In this case, his Pacific Fleet will have five aircraft carriers.

Zhang Lei said that the combined fleet of the Japanese army now has five aircraft carriers remaining.

Of course, this does not rule out that the Japanese army will convert some cargo ships or cruise ships into new aircraft carriers.

As for building a brand new aircraft carrier, judging from the island nation's industrial base strength and financial strength, it should be impossible.

The Japanese army wants to occupy the island of New Guinea, as well as the Marshall Islands and the Solomon Islands...

This devil is quite insidious!

Nimitz frowned.

Thinking about how to deal with Yamamoto 56's joint fleet.

But to be honest, he had no idea at all.

It would be nice if the forward positions of the Japanese army, Rabaul Island and Tulagi Island, could be occupied.

Especially Rabaul Island.

The Japanese built an airport there.

It can provide air cover for the Japanese landing forces attacking New Guinea.

At the same time, it can also bomb the Solomon Islands.

But it is not easy to attack Rabaul.

Because the Japanese army stationed a large number of troops on this island.

It would be nice to find a suitable place to build an airport on the Solomon Islands.

At that time, we will be able to use air power to suppress Rabaul Island.

At the same time, when the Japanese army attacked the Solomon Islands, it could bomb the Japanese landing forces and aircraft carriers.

Zhang Lei said that in the west of the Solomon Islands, there is a place called Guadalcanal.

That island is a tropical rainforest.

In the middle of the island, the terrain is flat, which is very suitable for building an airport.

But Nimitz had never heard of the island at all.

Is there such a place?

Nimitz took a magnifying glass and looked inside the Solomon Islands for a long time, and finally found a small black spot the size of a pinprick.

Zhang Lei said that there is Guadalcanal Island.

Is this place really suitable for building an airport?

Nimitz murmured in his heart.

He had never heard of this place.

However, since it was Zhang Lei's suggestion, Nimitz still attached great importance to it.

He immediately sent for a map of Guadalcanal.

He had to research this place in advance.

But his assistant made countless calls, and the publishers who printed the map hadn't heard of this place either.

Don't talk about maps, I've never heard of them.

How can this be done?
Nimitz had a headache.

Since Zhang Lei attached so much importance to Guadalcanal, Nimitz did not dare to be careless, so he quickly reported the situation.

Request to find out about this island in the whole lighthouse country.

Nestor, who received the call from Nimitz, thought he had heard wrong.

What island?

Nestor was dumbfounded.

Is there such a place on earth?

Why does this name sound so convoluted?
He has heard of the Solomon Islands, and he is very aware of the importance of this archipelago.

But this melon...

Before the phone was hung up, Nestor couldn't remember the name of the island.

Nimitz said that the west side of the Solomon Islands is a more suitable place to build an airport.

After hanging up the phone, Nestor studied the map carefully.

Although the location of Guadalcanal Island was not marked on the map, according to Nimitz's reminder, Nestor probably drew a circle on the map.

After making such a mark, Nestor frowned immediately.

If this place is really an island suitable for building an airport as Zhang Lei said, then this place will be extremely important.

Zhang Lei is right, if this island is occupied by the Japanese army, then they can use air power to cut off their sea and air connections between the lighthouse country and the kangaroo country.

This was a devastating blow to the joint forces in the kangaroo country.

The supplies of these hundreds of thousands of troops all departed from the west coast of the lighthouse country, passed through the Solomon Islands, and arrived at Sydney Harbour.

If the Japanese army occupied Guadalcanal Island, the maritime supply line would be cut off by the Japanese army.

At that time, the 40 troops of the Kangaroo Country can only raise their hands and surrender.

Falk.

too frightening.

Nestor was shocked.

Zhang Lei is Zhang Lei.

Can think of this layer unexpectedly.

Why can't the commander of our lighthouse country see it?

Nestor didn't dare to be careless, and immediately summoned his staff to find all the news about Guadalcanal Island.

But this Pacific island is really too strange.

90.00% of people have never heard of the name of this island.

Still a missionary in the end, come to think of it.

It seems that this place was mentioned in a novel in the [-]th century.

The name of that novel seems to be something like Prison.

The treasured Nestor finally found this novel in the library of the Lighthouse Country.

The author of the novel, named Kaijia, is in kindergarten and is a veteran writer signed by Qidian.

There is only a rough description of Guadalcanal in this book.

This is a tropical island.

The vegetation is dense above.

Insects and snakes are everywhere.

It is a good place to catch the plague.

Don't count on the map.

Nestor could only inform Nimitz of this situation.

And tell him to prepare as much medicine as possible.
