Invincible from the sword

Chapter 497 Still need to pay attention to the influence
After receiving the telegram from Youzuka Tiangong, Terauchi Shouichi was very embarrassed.

He also wanted Youzuka Tiangong to retreat quickly.

The problem is, he doesn't have a battleship in his hand.

Just be in a hurry.

It is impossible to get a battleship from Yamamoto.

It is difficult for Yamamoto's combined fleet to protect itself.

His remaining warships were gathering for Rabaul.

Ready to cooperate with Yamamoto's defense plan.

Now Yamamoto's combined fleet has not much combat effectiveness.

He didn't dare to move at all.

Although Yamamoto 56 still has the last three aircraft carriers in his hands, but because of the lack of carrier-based pilots, these three aircraft carriers can only lie down in Tokyo Bay.

Without pilots, an aircraft carrier is a giant piece of crap.

Not a single destroyer is available yet.

Yamamoto was reluctant to use it as a cargo ship.

An aircraft carrier is much more expensive than a cargo ship.

And Yamamoto has his own little thoughts.

Although his carrier-based aircraft pilot was gone, it was only during this period of time.

As long as he is given a certain amount of time, he can definitely train enough carrier-based aircraft pilots.

In Yamamoto's view, the outer defensive circle and absolute defensive circle he envisioned are enough to stop the lighthouse country's attack for more than a year.

It would be best if the lighthouse countries could sit at the negotiating table and negotiate with their island countries a year later.

If there is no negotiation, the combat effectiveness of his Yamamoto fleet can be restored to [-]% to [-]%.

It is still possible to fight against the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Country.

As for the small number of aircraft carriers...

Then refit all the large cargo ships and cruise ships in the island country.

This is not very difficult for the shipyards of their island country.

This is how the aircraft carrier Falcon Eagle was refitted.

Although the overall performance is not very good, it is also an aircraft carrier.

It can still be used.

If [-] such aircraft carriers can be refitted, then in terms of numbers, they can barely engage in a decisive battle with the Pacific Fleet.

For the Pacific Fleet, Yamamoto 56 is psychologically prepared.

Although the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Country currently only has four aircraft carriers, the shipyards of the Lighthouse Country are working overtime to build a brand new aircraft carrier.

This point has been confirmed.

Chuichi Nagumo reported that the Lighthouse Fleet, which fought against him on Guadalcanal, had five aircraft carriers.

After being sunk by them, there are still four ships.

This shows that the Pacific Fleet of the lighthouse country has already added two brand new aircraft carriers.

After the Battle of Midway, they obviously only had three aircraft carriers left.

idiot.

The speed at which the lighthouse country builds aircraft carriers is too fast.

Much faster than he expected.

In the following time, Yamamoto believes that the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Country will have more aircraft carriers entering service.

This is definitely not good news for him.

And the two-layer defensive circle he envisioned, at best, can only stop the troops of the Lighthouse Kingdom for two years.

In the past two years, on the one hand, he has fought an intense battle with the Lighthouse Country, and on the other hand, he has bought more time for his aircraft carrier and its pilots.

So now it is almost impossible for Yamamoto to dispatch warships to help him withdraw the Youzuka detachment from Guadalcanal.

And even if Yamamoto agreed, his warships would not be able to enter.

The current Guadalcanal waters have been firmly controlled by the Pacific Fleet of the lighthouse country.

Not to mention the support troops, even if you get closer, you may be bombed by the opponent's plane.

Yamamoto was also scared of being beaten.

Shouichi in the temple was very helpless.

In any case, the Youzhong detachment has more than 2 troops.

And they are all elite.

Now that they were all killed by the opponent, Terauchi Shouichi was quite reluctant.

More importantly, Youzuka Tiangong is the only seedling of Youzuka Yoshio.

If this little bastard is killed, then Youzuka Yoshio will have to fight for his life in the temple!

Yoshio Youzuka was a subordinate of Shouyi in his temple back then.

When the army was dispatched in North China, Shouyi in his temple was the commander, and the commander of the first army below was Yoshio Youzuka.

Still need to pay attention to the impact.

So Shouichi in the temple could only ride a dead dog as a living dog, and sent a telegram to Yamamoto.

Ask him to immediately dispatch warships to support the retreat of the Youzuka detachment.

Even if these more than 2 troops are transferred to Rabaul for defense, they are better than staying on Guadalcanal.

At this time, Yamamoto's mind was no longer on Guadalcanal.

He didn't care about the life and death of the Youzhong Detachment on the island.

Isn't it just [-] Japanese troops?

It's gross.

They still have the face to ask for a retreat?

As warriors of the island nation, they should attack immediately.

Kill the Lighthouse Army on Guadalcanal and take back the airport.

If they can't do it, they should apologize!
Inside the Japanese Combined Fleet Command, Yamamoto 56 was losing his temper.

The telegram from Shouyi in the temple made him very angry.

Now my battleship is not enough for myself.

How can you care about your Youzuka detachment?

Chief of Staff of the Japanese Combined Fleet Yu Huanzen also nodded in agreement.

"Your Excellency, your decision is extremely correct.

As soldiers of the empire, they should obey the call of God Amaterasu.

Now on Guadalcanal Island, the lighthouse country's ground troops only have [-] troops.

It is not the opponent of the Youzuka detachment at all.

The Lord of the Temple cherishes his subordinates too much. "

A puff of white gas came out of Yamamoto's nose.

snort!
"The commander of the Youzuka Detachment is the only child of Yoshio Youzuka.

In order to reduce unnecessary troubles, Terauchi-kun made such a decision.

As the commander of the empire, it was a very stupid behavior for him to do so.

Leave him alone.

Mr. Yuhuan, the most important thing we need to pay attention to now is the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Country.

Now the waters off Guadalcanal are in their hands.

According to my estimation, their next target is Rabaul Island.

Rabaul Island is the base of our combined fleet in the South Pacific.

There must be no problems.

Otherwise, the Marshall Islands will face enormous pressure.

Now the defense of the Marshall Islands has just begun.

Ground troops are being drawn and not yet in place.

So we must hold Rabaul Island. "

Chief of Staff of the Japanese Combined Fleet Yu Huanchen nodded in agreement.

"Yamamoto-kun, I have conducted a detailed analysis of the current situation.

In order to better implement the outer defense circle plan, I think we must further add the defense of Rabaul Island.

Because of the failure of the Guadalcanal naval battle, I feel that the morale of the United Fleet is very low now.

I think, General Yamamoto, you should go to Rabaul Island for inspection.

Improve the courage of soldiers. "

Visiting Rabaul Island?

Yamamoto 56 was quite surprised by Yu Huanchen's proposal.

Is this a little risky?

Although Rabaul Island is now in the hands of their Japanese army, the fleet of the lighthouse country has now controlled the waters of Guadalcanal Island.

Guadalcanal is not far from Rabaul.

Many Japanese commanders in the headquarters did not agree with Yu Huanchan's suggestion.

joke!

Most of the current air supremacy is controlled by the fleet of the lighthouse country.

The current Rabaul Island is no longer safe.

According to reports from the defense soldiers on Rabaul Island, reconnaissance planes from the Lighthouse State have been seen from time to time these days.

At this time, let Yamamoto go to inspect Rabaul Island, wouldn't that be death?
