Age of Rebirth

"The Intelligence Office intercepted the Japanese Navy's communications. The new Japanese Navy Combined Fleet Commander Nagumo Tadaichi will fly to the headquarters of Honiara in the Solomon Islands on the morning of July 27 to preside over a military meeting!" This is the whole content of intelligence, without a doubt, it is the masterpiece of Bai Luoyu's intelligence analysis center. △￠Apex Novels,

"Hahaha! Let's go!" After reading the telegram, Le Yiqin's eyes lit up immediately, forgetting that this was in the teacher's office, she yelled, and then hurriedly said to Tang Qiuli: "Master, it's another It’s a good deal that came to your door, just killed that old devil Yamamoto, this time, the old devil Nagumo Tadaichi hit the gun again, and handed it over to us Southern Aviation Group!"

"Intercept and kill Nanyun Zhongyi again, is this what you think about?" Tang Qiuli raised his eyes to look at Le Yiqin, and said indifferently.

Le Yiqin's eyes widened, and he said inexplicably: "Master, what else can I think about? Can I not eat the fat that is brought to my mouth? First kill old devil Yamamoto, and then kill old devil Nanyun Zhongyi, The combined fleet of the little devils will be leaderless!"

"Forget it, the purpose of showing you this information is to tell you that Chuichi Nagumo is the commander of the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy!" Tang Qiuli said helplessly, "It's not for you to intercept and kill Nagumo again." Zhongyi, keeping Nagumo Zhongyi is more effective than killing him, understand?"

"Oh!" Le Yiqin was so disappointed, her eyelids drooped, she looked listless, and said honestly: "I don't understand! If you don't kill Nagumo Chuichi, then the teacher came to me, do you have any new tasks? "

Tang Qiuli looked at Le Yiqin quite speechlessly.How to explain the purpose of doing this to him is really not something that can be explained clearly in a few words.He simply did not explain, and said: "I am looking for you. There is a very important thing that needs you to do!"

Hearing what the teacher said, Le Yiqin's spirit came again, "Master, where are you attacking the little devil?"

Tang Qiuli was speechless again, probably in Le Yiqin's heart, there was nothing else but fighting, "Yiqin. The new fighter jet played a key role in this long-distance interception of Yamamoto 56. In your opinion, this new type Can fighter jets assist the naval fleet to fight in the open sea?" He asked in a questioning tone.

"Of course!" When mentioning the new fighter jet used in the ambush of Yamamoto 56, Le Yiqin was [-]% satisfied. "Master, there is nothing to say about the combat radius and combat performance. Take Irian Island as an example." In terms of the location of the field airport, the combat radius of the fleet can cover the airspace around the Marshall Islands!"

"How many new fighters of this type are equipped by the Southern Aviation Group?" Seeing Le Yiqin's praise, Tang Qiuli said calmly.

"Not many. Five fighter regiments, less than four hundred!" These numbers were in his heart.Le Yiqin opened his mouth to come, and then complained: "Teacher, there are still too few, can you give an order to the logistics department. No matter what, I have to equip more than ten regiments. If there are more than 700 such new fighters , I dare to fight the combined fleet of the little devil!"

"Oh, since you're so sure, you can't be wrong!" Tang Qiuli looked at Le Yiqin, who was a little dreamy, and said lightly: "After careful research and decision by the teacher, the five new fighter jets equipped by the Southern Aviation Group The regiment, from now on, will be changed to the land-based aviation brigade directly under the Southern Fleet of the Navy, and the organization and combat sequence will be placed under the command of the Fleet Command, you have no objection!"

"What? What?" Le Yiqin jumped up suddenly as if sitting on the soldering iron with her buttocks. Just about to lose her temper, she saw the teacher's eyes staring at her, and she suddenly froze, and said pitifully: "Mr. You can't do this, these new fighter jets have not warmed up in my hands, why are they given to the fleet? You can't change your mind?"

"It cannot be changed, this is the decision of the teacher!" Tang Qiuli held back a smile and said with a serious face: "Small, I will add to you later, after you go back, immediately report to Commander Tang of the fleet for personnel and equipment. Hand over, I warn you, don't make ambushes and make small moves!"

Seeing that the established facts could not be changed, Le Yiqin replied unhappily: "Yes, Master, resolutely carry out the order!" Before leaving, she murmured, "Be partial, do I dare to lay an ambush!"

Seeing the dejected Le Yiqin go away, Tang Qiuli shook his head with a smile. In fact, in his heart, he had never thought about intercepting Nagumo Zhongichi again. After seeing the information, he also repeatedly weighed the pros and cons. point, prompting him to abandon the idea.

First of all, compared with Yamamoto 56, Nagumo Tadaichi is far behind in terms of command ability and tactical vision. His cautious and indecisive command style often misses the best opportunities. This person is in charge of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet The commander-in-chief marks the beginning of the decline and collapse of the United Fleet. The historical battle of Midway between the Japanese and American navies fully exposed the serious flaws in Nagumo's command style.

It can be said that during this period, among all the generals of the Japanese navy, the only one who made Tang Qiuli afraid and must be eliminated first and then quickly was Yamamoto 56. The fleet is not to be feared!

In addition, giving up the idea of ​​intercepting Zhongyi Nanyun is also related to the conversation with Le Yiqin just now. In Tang Qiuli's plan, the new land-based fighter jet with a combat radius that can cover almost the entire Southwest Pacific is a secret. Weapons, with the current strength of the independent division fleet, it is definitely not an opponent against the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy alone, even if Chuichi Nagumo is in charge of the combined fleet, it will not succeed!

Regardless of the number of aircraft carriers, carrier-based aircraft, and main warships, both sides are not in the same heavy class. Therefore, the newly reorganized fleet is directly under the land-based aviation brigade, which will be a weapon for victory in future naval battles. Yun Zhongyi revealed his trump card. Of course, the future direct brigade will definitely expand in size. A fleet with an aircraft carrier as its core, without its carrier-based aircraft, will be a toothless tiger, a sick cat!

Two days later, under the escort of two battalions of fighter jets, Nagumo Tadashi, who was sitting on a large transport plane and was rushing to Honiara with great ambition and excitement, would not know that he had escaped a catastrophe. Because his ability is not as good as Yamamoto 56, if he knew that he had lived a few more years because of this reason, would he be so angry that he would commit suicide?

As for dispatching fighter jets from two brigades to escort him, Admiral Nagumo Tadashi believes that Lieutenant Admiral Matsuda, the chief of staff of the United Fleet, is definitely making a big fuss. The route from Tokyo to Honiara is very safe. ?

How did he know that Lieutenant Admiral Matsuda, the chief of staff of the United Fleet, broke out in a cold sweat when he received a telegram from the new commander, Admiral Nagumo Tadashi, who was about to fly to Honiara. If possible, he would He tried his best to dissuade the new commander, that it is safer to travel by sea than by plane. General Yamamoto fell on this seemingly safe route.

From the base camp to the Ministry of the Navy, the news of General Yamamoto's death was strictly blocked. Lieutenant General Matsuda himself received a direct warning from the Minister of the Navy, Nagano Osamu. He could not use Commander Yamamoto as an issue. In desperation, he could only send additional escort troops, and in the name of the United Fleet Command, he asked the land-based aviation unit of the Army Defense Area passing through the route to protect Admiral Nanyun's plane along the way.

Lieutenant Admiral Matsuda had never been tempted by the position of Commander of the Combined Fleet in his heart, but after weighing his qualifications and background, he dispelled this idea. Now, Vice Admiral Matsuda and the senior officers of the Combined Fleet Command, As well as the commanders and chiefs of staff of the various fleets, there are more than a hundred generals at the Honiara Airport, looking at the northern sky with anticipation.

Lieutenant General Matsuda was worried. The death of Commander Yamamoto made him a little nervous. Right next to him, a signal soldier with a radio on his back talked to the escorting fighter commander every 10 minutes to confirm the situation of South Korea. Cloud Commander Security.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Zhongichi Nagumo's plane and escort fleet appeared in the sight of Lieutenant General Matsuda and a group of senior officers.

The fleet landed smoothly, and the hatch of a large transport plane opened, and General Nagumo Chuda, who was dressed in a brand-new uniform of a navy general, was full of energy and had a flushed face, stepped off the plane surrounded by several staff officers.

Chief of Staff Matsuda rushed forward, stood at attention and saluted, "Report to Your Excellency Commander, Chief of Staff Matsuda Jiro of the Combined Fleet, and all the senior officers of the fleet, come to welcome you, Your Excellency has worked hard all the way!"

Lieutenant Admiral Matsuda is not very familiar with his new immediate boss. When Chuichi Nagumo was defeated in the naval battle of Midway Island, Lieutenant Admiral Matsuda at that time had not yet served as the chief of staff of the United Fleet. The school serves as the principal, and the two of them don't have much contact with each other, and they both belong to the same department of the Navy, and they have only heard of each other.

Therefore, the attitude of Chief of Staff Matsuda was respectful but without any intention of intimacy, and he was impeccable as a subordinate. General Nagumo Tadashi, who had been out of work for many years and came back again, was all focused on how to create a great record. He himself is the head of this huge fleet, his heart is full of passion, and he doesn't care about Chief of Staff Matsuda's attitude at all.

After returning the salute, Nagumo Nagaichi pointed at the escort fighter jets that were landing one after another, and said with a half-smile: "Chief of Staff Matsuda, you made a big fuss, and the journey was very peaceful. I would like to see what the fighter jets in China look like!"

The muscles on Matsuda Jiro's cheeks couldn't help twitching a few times, quite speechless, full of words but unable to speak, so he could only say: "Commander, all the senior officers of the fleet have arrived, do you want to have a meeting immediately?"
