Age of Rebirth

The questions raised by the independent division division chief of staff Zhao Yu and the major general seem simple, even idiots, but after careful analysis, there are many articles in it. The two battlefields mean that the United States and Japan each have two fleets. At the same time, battles are taking place in the same sea area, and the Independent Division Intelligence Office always monitors only the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy and the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy

From a certain point of view, there is a big problem with the accuracy of the intelligence office of the independent division monitoring the communication between the U.S. military and the Japanese army. The seriousness of this problem will bury a fatal hidden danger in the process of formulating future campaign plans. Zhao Yuhe didn't say it clearly, and Yu Deshui, the director of the intelligence department, didn't mention this point in the telegram, so he reminded the division commander in a questioning way!

Of course, Tang Qiuli understood the intention of his chief of staff to raise this naive question. He shook his head with a smile and said, "Yuhe, it's not what you worry about. There are no loopholes!"

Zhao Yuhe's face turned red, and was broken by the teacher's words. Tang Qiuli continued: "There is only one way for this to happen. The commander of the US Pacific Fleet, Fulwood, was suddenly attacked by Japanese carrier-based planes. Order a part of the warships to protect the formation of troop carriers, move closer to Hawaii Island, and use the main fleet to attract the attention of the Japanese army."

"Unfortunately, what he encountered was a famous general in the Japanese navy, Yamamoto 56. Yamamoto, who used troops, would never have such an obvious faint move. There must be a plan to deal with it. If my judgment is correct, more than 6 The area where the U.S. infantry was wiped out should be in the waters near Hawaii Island, well, the intelligence department should have a more detailed and accurate analysis report!" [

Zhao Yuhe nodded thoughtfully, and Tang Qiuli continued, "Yuhe, after this battle, the U.S. Navy's military strength in the Pacific region has basically been lost. If the national strength of the United States is used to calculate, the construction of a new aircraft carrier And warships, it is not difficult. It will take less than a year to reorganize a Pacific Fleet. However, sailors who have undergone rigorous training and a combat-capable force will become a fatal shortcoming for the Americans. Two years Within time, the U.S. Navy cannot become a big climate!"

"The naval battle on July [-]th was a huge blow to the Americans. Perhaps, this can change the attitude of the Americans towards the Pacific War. The Japanese have controlled the Eastern Pacific region. Next, it is time to start on Luzon Island. MacArthur's life will be difficult soon, we should also start the Hong Kong campaign Yuhe, come with me to the special warfare detachment!"

When Zhao Yuhe followed Tang Qiuli and walked out, he suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Master, the Americans haven't asked us for help so far. Do they have any cards in the Southwest Pacific?"

Tang Qiuli smiled and replied: "Of course there is a trump card. That is Australia. This is MacArthur's biggest reliance. However, if he still insists on defending Manila, he will definitely transfer troops from Australia if he cannot get reinforcements from the mainland. In this way, you are falling into the trap of the Japanese, and don't forget that there are still four Japanese armies with tens of thousands of troops on the islands in the Southwest Pacific!"

As Tang Qiuli said, in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, there was a tragic sea battle. The newly formed Pacific Fleet of the U.S. Navy, including more than 2 warships including three aircraft carriers, was attacked by the Japanese Navy's combined fleet. The entire army was wiped out, and more than [-] officers and soldiers from the fleet commander, Lieutenant General Forwood, were spared.

Four infantry divisions and more than 6 soldiers of the follow-up troops of the Second Army that reinforced the Hawaii Island battlefield were buried on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The commander of the first aircraft carrier formation of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet in charge of the attack, Major General Masao Kagesho, did not capture these American infantrymen In his own words, the Great Japanese Empire did not have much precious food to feed these American prisoners of war!

After killing the second aircraft carrier formation of the U.S. Pacific Fleet with an absolutely superior force, Masa Ying called Major General and ordered all the warships to immediately bombard the U.S. troop carrier formation that had lost its protection. His order was simple: "After an hour , I don’t want to see a living American soldier!” This was a one-sided massacre, a battle of fierce tigers attacking sheep, but the Japanese navy sailors and carrier-based aircraft pilots did it with great interest.

The killing desire in the Japanese bones was completely stimulated. Unarmed troop carriers were shattered into pieces amidst the sound of roaring artillery explosions. The tongues of flames, the blood and flesh of the American soldiers flew all over the deck, and the deck was stained red with blood. Even if the troop carrier was flying a white flag and was about to surrender, it did not affect the killing spree of the Japanese army in the slightest!

Yamamoto led the main force of the United Fleet. When he arrived, the bloody massacre had just ended. As he himself expected, "This sea area will be dyed bright red by the blood of more than 6 American soldiers. It will be filled with dead bodies of American soldiers!"

Seeing all this, General Yamamoto expressed his expression and said to Lieutenant General Matsuda, Chief of Staff: "Send a telegram to Lieutenant General Hirano Yoshiki and tell him that I have solved his worries for the future! The rest is the matter of the Seventh Army Yes, Army, hum!"

The sad news that the entire Pacific Fleet was annihilated and more than 6 soldiers were buried in the seabed of the Eastern Pacific Ocean, when it reached the United States, it was like a bolt from the blue. More than 9 American soldiers were lost within half a day, and the psychological blow to the American people was extremely heavy!

Americans, who have enjoyed a stable life for more than half a century, feel for the first time that the cloud of war has shrouded the United States of America. President Roosevelt, who received the news, immediately convened the wartime Supreme Command An emergency military meeting, at which President Roosevelt made emergency deployments.

All the existing domestic army and air forces were assembled on the east coast immediately. At the same time, an order was issued to form the East Coast Homeland Defense Command. General Jeffrey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, served as the commander. Conscription orders, almost all young people of the right age have received a notice of enlistment. In the country, five new army armies and ten air teams of the Air Force have been newly formed.

Just as Tang Qiu left, the American war machine suddenly sped up because of a bloody sea battle in the Eastern Pacific. All shipyards received orders from the government. Two former Pacific Fleet-scale shipbuilding plans, Proceed immediately at various shipyards in the United States, and within a year, rebuild the Pacific Fleet.

The Third Army, which was originally preparing to reinforce the Hawaii Island battlefield, had already assembled in Los Angeles. However, the Americans found sadly that they no longer had an escort fleet, and the 10,000+ troops could only stay in Los Angeles.

Neither President Roosevelt nor Admiral Jeffrey dared to take risks. A troop transport fleet without an escort fleet is tantamount to sending a large piece of fat to the mouth of the Japanese navy fleet, unable to transport follow-up reinforcements , The remaining troops of the Second Army still sticking to the island of Hawaii, the situation immediately became dangerous, and became a lone army without backup!

President Roosevelt and Admiral Jeffrey stayed up all night. After a whole night of weighing, President Roosevelt painfully issued an order, "In view of the situation in the Eastern Pacific battlefield that is extremely unfavorable to our side, I now order the commander of the Second Army to Lieutenant General Harrison, immediately organize the troops to withdraw to the mainland, the specific evacuation time is up to you to determine, there will be a group of land-based fighter jets to cover your retreat!"

In spite of everything, the Americans chose to abandon the Hawaiian Islands. If they did not withdraw the Second Army and waited for their end, they would be completely wiped out by the Japanese. This also meant that the American homeland defense circle shrank to the east. The front line of the coast is a passive defensive situation. The Japanese land-based fighters and bombers can patronize the United States at any time.

It is very easy to issue an order to evacuate the Second Army. It is just a telegram. However, there is a problem. How can the remaining 6 soldiers of the Second Army come back? [

The Americans have no shortage of sea transportation capacity. It is easy to recruit hundreds or thousands of civilian ships. However, the crux of the problem is the escort fleet. In the United States, there is no longer an established fleet. Without the escort fleet, can it be the opponent of the Japanese navy fleet?The destruction of the two Pacific fleets before and after told the Americans the answer, no!

We can only send land-based fighter jets for uninterrupted air escort, but how effective is it? Even Admiral Jeffrey, who made the evacuation plan, has no confidence in his heart, so he can only try his best to perfect the plan. , the fate of the Second Army of the U.S. Army, very unfortunately, is left to God!

However, the Japanese obviously don't want to let these more than 6 American soldiers return to the mainland of the United States alive.

After receiving the telegram from General Yamamoto, Lieutenant General Yoshiki Hirano, the commander of the Seventh Army of the Japanese Army, said with a bad taste, "The worries about the future have been solved!" ?What does Admiral Yamamoto mean?

In Lieutenant General Hirano Yoshiki's heart, he never had any worries. As long as there is no trouble from the American fleet, he hopes that American reinforcements will come to the battlefield of Hawaii Island one after another. , The miracle of annihilating tens of thousands of U.S. troops, General Yamamoto is laughing at the cowardice of the army, timid!

However, Lieutenant General Hirano Yoshiki soon calmed down. He has more important things to do. The more than 6 American soldiers on Hawaii Island are more attractive than General Yamamoto's telegram!
