Invincible from the sword

Chapter 438 No more than 3 people

Chapter 438 No more than 3000 people

The strategic positions of the Marshall Islands and the Solomon Islands were very important before the No.15 Japanese Army landed from Darwin Port.

Therefore, it is completely understandable for the Japanese combined fleet to attack these two islands.

It is also necessary to build an airport on Guadalcanal.

But now, the No.15 Army of the Japanese Army has occupied a quarter of the Kangaroo Country.

From Darwin Port to Clark River in the east, it was in the hands of the Japanese army.

In this case, the necessity for the Japanese army to seize these two islands is reduced.

The most beneficial way for the Japanese army is to continuously increase troops to the Kangaroo Country.

Only in this way can we hope to occupy the kangaroo country.

And if you want to increase your troops, you must use a large number of troop carriers and warships from the Japanese combined fleet.

And warships are needed for escort.

In this case, it is not very likely that Yamamoto will send the main fleet to Guadalcanal.

Even if Yamamoto wanted to have a decisive battle with Nimitz's Pacific Fleet, he would not choose this time.

But the contradiction between the navy of the island country and the army of the island country is deeply rooted.

Whether Yamamoto will cooperate with Terauchi Shouichi is hard to say.

From Yamamoto 56's point of view, if Terauchi Shouichi's southern dispatched army occupied the Kangaroo Country, Yamamoto would definitely lose face.

At the same time, the status of his combined fleet in the island country will be very embarrassing in the future.

If one fails, it will become an auxiliary arm.

This situation, Yamamoto is absolutely not allowed to happen.

So Yamamoto will never give up his attack on the Solomon Islands.

As for Guadalcanal, Yamamoto will never give up.

However, Yamamoto must also implement the order of the island country.

Therefore, Zhang Lei estimated that Yamamoto is likely to divide his fleet.

A part of the force is responsible for supporting the Southern Dispatch Army of Terauchi Shouichi.

And another part of the fleet should still appear in the Coral Sea area, preparing to attack the Solomon Islands.

Under such circumstances, the size of the Japanese fleet must be smaller than that of Spruance's two task forces.

It is estimated that there are only two to three aircraft carriers.

In this case, the Japanese army's offensive method must be conservative.

After all, Yamamoto 56 was at Midway Island, but suffered a big loss.

And Spruance's task force now has five aircraft carriers.

Nimitz transferred all the aircraft carriers of the entire Pacific Fleet to Spruance.

In this case, it is no problem to obtain air supremacy around Guadalcanal.

For Yamamoto, the best way to bring the two sides to the same level is to use the night to carry out sneak attacks.

At night, the carrier is completely useless.

The plane could not take off at all.

And the huge size will also become the key target of the attack.

After Zhang Lei thought about it, he replied a telegram to Nimitz.

Let him land on Guadalcanal as soon as possible.

At the same time, pay attention to the Japanese sneak attack at night and the subsequent Japanese reinforcements to Guadalcanal.

And I roughly shared my analysis and judgment with Nimitz.

After receiving Zhang Lei's telegram, Nimitz felt more at ease.

He read Zhang Lei's telegram carefully.

I feel very reasonable.

Then the entire telegram was immediately forwarded to Spruance.

Spruance, who received the telegram, greatly increased his confidence.

I wipe!
Zhang Lei said that the Japanese army is now on Guadalcanal, and there are not many troops?

No more than 3000 people?
Fake!

If that's the case, wait a minute.

Attack now.

So Spruance immediately gave orders to the task force.

The entire task force, with the [-]st Marine Division preparing to land, drove towards Guadalcanal in a dark manner.

No.16 and No.17 Task Forces are huge.

The entire fleet has more than seventy warships and submarines, large and small.

There are [-] landing ships alone.

Because this was the first landing operation of the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Country, Spruance was very cautious.

Although his commanding ability in naval battles is excellent, this landing battle is the first time for Spruance.

The topography of Guadalcanal has yet to be figured out by Spruance.

He has no idea where on this island is suitable for landing.

In order to find out the topography of the island, Spruance sent more than a dozen reconnaissance planes to survey the topography there.

Of course, the choice of this time node is very subtle.

If the investigation is too early, the Japanese army will discover the intention of his fleet early, which will cause greater difficulties for landing.

And if the investigation was too late, he would have no time to make a landing plan.

After several times of deduction, Spruance finally decided to set the time for the reconnaissance to be carried out at a place where the fleet is [-] nautical miles away from Guadalcanal Island.

The Japanese engineers on the island are humming and humming to build the airport.

The entire airport runway has been constructed.

Only the final finishing touches are left.

In a few days, after the houses of the pilots and ground crew are built, they can retreat.

Watanabe, the Japanese engineer commander, finally felt at ease.

As an engineer, Watanabe has been worried during this time.

I was afraid that the enemy would rush over halfway through the construction.

It's not that he's too timid, it's because the soldiers in his hands are too rubbish.

Sappers!
Really sappers.

The engineers and soldiers of Watanabe are all composed of people from Bangzi Kingdom.

In the past, he worked as a laborer in an island country.

It was later assigned to Watanabe to build an airport here.

When I brought it, in order to prevent the people from the Bangzi Kingdom from rebelling, no weapons were issued at all, and no one issued a shovel.

Only one squadron of devil soldiers had weapons.

Responsible for guarding these people and protecting the entire island.

Watanabe couldn't eat or sleep well these days.

It felt like my pants were loosening a lot.

But now it's all right, the airport is built, and he will be able to return to the island country soon.

There is one thing to say, if it weren't for Watanabe's determination to build an airport in such a ghost place, he would have been depressed long ago.

Watanabe sent a telegram to his superiors that the airport would be completed soon.

I am delighted.

Lie on the beach and enjoy the sea breeze.

I also climbed to the top of the coconut tree and got two coconuts in a leisurely manner.

Just when Watanabe was about to get two more sea fish, he heard a familiar voice.

It's a bit like a mosquito screaming.

hum~
hum~
buzzing~
Ok?
Watanabe couldn't help but froze for a moment.

The sound of mosquitoes, is it so loud?
Then Watanabe saw a black shadow with wings in the distant sky.

eagle?
Just when Watanabe was in a daze, the little black spot quickly became bigger.

It is an American reconnaissance plane.

Although this idiot Watanabe has never seen an American plane, he still knows the white five-pointed star on the plane.

As the naval force of the island country, Watanabe learned it when he was in the island country.

This white five-pointed star is the symbol of the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Country.

Watanabe's brain exploded with a buzz.

Her hair stood on end in shock.

The hat on his head was also blown off.

At this time, the ghost Watanabe only had two words in his heart.

What the hell! ! ! ! ! !
Watching Watanabe startled, his mind turned quickly.

Pull up your pants and run.

But it was too late.

The plane there was investigating Guadalcanal and found Watanabe lying on the beach basking in the sun.

So a direct bullet hit the past.

There was no need for him to shoot.

His job is to scout the terrain.

But after seeing a ghost on the beach, the pilot was very nervous, his hands trembled, and the two heavy machine guns on the plane fired.

chug.

chug.

Two red lines flew towards the ghost Watanabe.

He directly smashed the devil Watanabe.

The heavy machine guns on American aircraft are much more powerful than the heavy machine guns on Japanese aircraft.

The bullets are thick and long.

If it hits the human body, it can be broken into two parts directly.

Devil Watanabe suffered several bullets in his body.

It became a pile of rotten meat.

Not too red.

The shattered internal organs were still trembling there.

Good luck not transitioning.

The head was not hit.

So he didn't die right away.

The eyes are still blinking and blinking.

Blood was gurgling from the mouth.

At this moment, Watanabe was very panicked.

He looked in shock at his bullet-shattered body in the distance, his eyes filled with horror.

There is only one thought in his mind, whether he can use tape to stick his body together again.

Two seconds later, Devil Watanabe's head completely stopped moving.

The sudden gunshots on Guadalcanal startled the devils on the entire island.

Especially those engineers from Bangzi Country.

Thought it was thunder.

Trembling with fright.

The ghost soldiers on the island were also quite surprised.

A devil's second lieutenant rushed to devil Watanabe with his guards.

Looking at Watanabe who had become rotten meat, the Second Lieutenant Guizi didn't dare to be careless, and immediately sent a telegram to his superiors.

The telegram ended up in Yamamoto's hands.

Yamamoto 56, who was looking at the map on the Yamato, narrowed his eyes.

idiot.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Yamamoto was sure that this must be the troops of the Lighthouse Kingdom.

Nimitz's Pacific Fleet must have arrived near Guadalcanal.

Yamamoto's face grew long.

"We're on Guadalcanal. How many troops?"

Yamamoto asked worriedly.

The Chief of Staff of the Japanese Combined Fleet felt his mouth a little dry.

If it wasn't for Yamamoto asking, he wouldn't even want to talk about this question.

"Reporting to Your Excellency Commander, we are on Guadalcanal Island, with only about 2000 engineers.

In addition, there is a brigade of security forces. "

Nani! ?
Yamamoto 56 thought he heard it wrong.

His eyes widened in shock.

Very incredible.

Just so few people?

What the hell!

Who gave this order?
Guadalcanal is such an important place, but there are only so few people?
Isn't this equivalent to giving the airport on the island to Nimitz?
