blood feud

In order to build a strategic defense system in the Pacific, Japan's short-haired son had already formulated a complete set of plans before the war, which was to rely on a series of three island chains formed by a series of islands to organize a solid defense.

The first island chain from south to north is Gilbert Islands, Marshall Islands, Wake Island, Aleutian Islands;

The second island chain is the New Guinea Islands, the Mariana Islands, the Sulphur Islands, and the Ogasawara Islands;

The third island chain consists of the Philippine Islands, Taiwan Island, and the Ryukyu Islands in sequence, and is connected by the Caroline Islands in the east-west direction, forming a cobweb-like strategic defense posture.

Bai Shujie is a human being, so he knows that the little devil's Pacific defense circle has a fatal weakness, and that is the Philippines.

The third island chain is the last blockade line for the little devils to protect their own sea resource passages and at the same time protect the East China Sea and Kyushu Island.

Now, the Philippine Islands are gone, and Taiwan Island has lost its most important status as a shoulder-pole.

Now that the shoulder pole is broken, there is a huge gap in the third island chain of the Japanese dwarf.

Hideki Tojo risked his life to attack Bai Shujie twice last time, which meant to test whether there were any loopholes in Bai Shujie's defense and how strong the possible counterattack would be.

Japanese dwarfs are all tortoises, as long as you punch them hard, they will shrink back.

It was like this at Zhang Gufeng, it was like this at Nuomenkan, and it was still like this at Bai Shujie's place.

Facts have proved that Bai Shujie's fierce countermeasures have played a role, and Tojo Hideki found that Bai Shujie, the "China Devil", is simply a hedgehog full of thorns, and he cannot be provoked for the time being.

Since the "China Devil" Bai Shujie couldn't move for the time being, the short Japanese had no choice but to turn around and prepare to wrestle with another opponent again.

Because of this, General Yamamoto 56 concentrated all his forces, preparing to set up a position between the first island chain and the second island chain, and fight the Americans to the death to determine who is the master of the Pacific Ocean.

This is the shortcoming of the Japanese dwarf.

For thousands of years, what they lack most is a great strategist, so their measures are all aimed at solving the immediate problems, without thinking about why these problems happened.

Without a long-term strategic plan, there is no unified policy. In a short period of time, a sudden attack can catch the opponent by surprise, but once the stalemate comes down, the short Japanese don't know what to do.

The result is naturally a shot to the east and a shot to the west, making the whole world full of enemies, and in the end I get nothing, I just don't know what to say.

To put it bluntly, Japanese shorties are gamblers, and their mentality is: "What if I win?"

Originally, Bai Shujie found that Yamamoto 56 did not get entangled with the Americans in the Bismarck Sea, and adopted a tactic of retreating in great strides, and gave him a high score in his heart.

As a result of the results brought back by the high-altitude reconnaissance plane, Yamamoto 56 changed his mind midway and opened his posture in the Marshall Islands, knowing that the old problem of the Japanese short-haired man had committed again.

Originally, the elementary school was weak, and I didn't know it yet.

Bai Shujie didn't find any better reason to evenly divide the troops on the vast front that was more than 6000 nautical miles long.

To be honest, if the Japanese short-haired people really shrink their forces, with the joint fleet in the hands of Yamamoto 56, the Americans really can't do anything about it in a short time.

Of course, Japan's short-lived land was originally a long and narrow archipelago, without any strategic depth at all, and it was necessary to be on guard against others cutting it in half at any time. In the end, it was hard to see from the beginning to the end, so the line of defense was naturally very long.

The defense line is long, and naturally there are loopholes everywhere, and the result is hard to defend against.

It can be seen from this that the Japanese short-tailed people are usually fine with small fights, but as long as they launch a large-scale war, they will undoubtedly lose.

Although lame Roosevelt's tactics were not very good, he was a master of strategy.

Since he is a master of strategy, the cripple certainly understands where the Japanese dwarf's weakness lies.

The combined fleet of Yamamoto 56 seems to be the biggest barrier for Japanese short-haired people, and it is also the biggest weakness of Japanese short-haired people.

As long as the joint fleet of Yamamoto 56 is killed, the Japanese short-haired man will not have a spell, and there is no other way out except for raising his hands and surrendering.

There are long and there are short, and there are advantages and disadvantages.

This is dialectics, and it is also the starting point for a strategist to think about problems.

After pinpointing the opponent's weakness, the cripple will naturally be ruthless, and will never leave the opponent with the slightest hope of coming back.

Just like the United States, it seems very majestic.

The cornerstone of America's prestige is the dollar.The dollar is strong, so the United States is prestige.

To get rid of the United States, we must first get rid of the international financial status of the US dollar. All strategists understand this truth.

Because of this, all global economic crises are caused by the United States.

Crippled Roosevelt made a lot of money in Africa, and finally freed up his hands to grab the rights and interests in Asia. The first target was Yamamoto 56.

After the Battle of Guadalcanal, in order to adapt to changes in the international battlefield situation, the United States hoped that, like Africa, it would be possible to win or lose in one battle, so about 230 ships of various types were put into battle for the main force.

其中航母11艘、护航航母18艘、战列舰13艘、巡洋舰14艘、驱逐舰58艘、大型登陆舰船50余艘。

There are about 1300 combat aircraft, including 920 carrier-based aircraft, and about 24 B-100 "Liberator" heavy bombers among shore-based aircraft.

The above-mentioned troops do not include the diversionary troops serving as feint attacks. The Americans are rich and powerful, and you have to obey.

Bai Shujie didn't care about these things at all.

Although he received the full support of the Jews, Bai Shujie couldn't afford to fight like the Americans, so he just ordered the Air Force's reconnaissance plane to keep a close eye on it.

The development of the matter did not exceed Bai Shujie's expectations, and the US military is all idiots.

According to the analysis of the photos taken by the reconnaissance plane, on November 1943, 11, the northern landing formation set off from Pearl Harbor and headed for Gilbert.The 3st and 50nd Battalions of the 1th Task Force also left Pearl Harbor on the same day and headed for the Gilbert Islands.

Makin Island is located at the northernmost tip of the Gilbert Islands and consists of ten islands, the largest of which is Butaritari Island.The shape of the island is like a long-handled iron hammer, and the length of the hammer head is about 5.6 kilometers.

白沙潜艇侦查以后发回消息称：日本矮矬子的守军共约690人，其中工程兵部队340人，航空地勤人员110人，战斗部队仅一个中队240人，配备81毫米火炮6门、75毫米高射炮3门、37毫米野炮6门。

美军担负登陆作战的是步兵第27师的第165团和第105团的一个营，共约6400人，与守军相比，占有9：1的绝对优势。

Zhang Nianzu, commander of the Air Force, sighed: "I really admire the Americans. Is that also called war? With a nine-to-one force advantage, all the battleships and cruisers are firing 600 meters in front of the infantry all the way. The little devil has no way to fight back." .”

"Let's not talk about the use of artillery fire, and then the tanks opened the way. The Americans attacked for three days before ending the battle in a place as big as a palm. Just now I contacted Jin Bikuan. It is said that the Baisha submarine that was sent to observe saw a colonel of the US army. Killed, more than 100 people were killed."

"Commander-in-chief, I think it's time to forget it. Do you know how the battle ended? The little devils were all killed, and the infantry went up tremblingly. With such an army, we should stop fighting in the future and directly Go home and hold the baby"

The troops that came out of Pearl Harbor were in a mess, and they were not directly under the troops of Yamamoto 56 and Hyakutake Haruki, but only the island engineers and the garrison of a squadron.

In the next nine days, the troops on the southern front would suffer, because they encountered the main force of Yamamoto 56. As a result, after eight days of bloody battles, the U.S. military had lost more than 3000 people.

Both lines of the U.S. military were deflated, and the aircraft carrier finally rushed to the battlefield.

The air force, which originally had an absolute advantage in the Battle of Guadalcanal, was beaten all over the place by the Japanese short-haired people.

"Commander-in-Chief, the latest fighter jets of the little devils have finally come out. Although there are only 72 fighter jets in three squadrons, the Americans have suffered a big loss. What can compete now is the batch of subsonic fighter jets we sold to the Americans. Others The fighter planes were basically turned into a ball of fire."

Bai Shujie nodded: "From this point of view, we cannot underestimate the industrial capabilities of Japan's dwarfs. They were able to produce subsonic fighter jets in a year, and we need to pay great attention to them."

Zhang Nianzu was a little worried: "I think the Americans are likely to lose if the fight continues like this."

"That's not going to happen." Bai Shujie said with a smile: "The Japanese shorty and the Americans fight head-on. This is the result that the Americans like to see. For the Americans, even if it is to exchange ten planes for one little devil Airplanes, it’s still the little devils who fail in the end.”

"Okay, others are fighting in full swing, and the Americans are almost dead. It is not appropriate for us to stand on the sidelines. All 192 Hongjiu planes are ordered to enter the combat state, and each plane carries a 12-ton Class A cloud bomb. Waiting for the order to lift off."

"Remember: the high-altitude reconnaissance plane conducts a reconnaissance in the middle of the night today to find out the latest movements of the enemy fleet. The last reconnaissance will be carried out at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning, and the air command plane will go there synchronously. If there is no movement from the enemy, just give Hong Jiu the order to take off .”

Air Force Commander Zhang Nianzu got up to leave. Bai Shujie raised his wrist to check the time. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. He suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he grabbed the phone and shook it violently and called:

"Is Jinbikuan? Is your Second Fleet ready? Now that it's ready, let's set off immediately, aiming at Palau Islands and Colonia Island. Sail at full speed after nightfall, and arrive at the destination before [-]:[-] am tomorrow morning." , launch an attack on the enemy fleet!"

Zhao Jinxi was a little strange: "Didn't you order the bombers to mount the cloud bombs? Why did you order Jin Bikuan's second fleet to attack? Don't you think the Class A cloud bombs can't deal with the enemy?"

Bai Shujie shook his head: "The only ones who know about the use of Class-A cloud bombs this time are the bomber brigade besides you and me. The reason for this arrangement is to worry that Jin Bikuan and the others will take it lightly."

"You have to know, the little devil has a lot of submarines. If you are not careful, you may be negligent. If you are ambushed by a submarine, our entire Second Fleet may be wiped out, and that would be bad."

"As for launching an attack, Jin Bikuan is not a fool. After the carrier-based plane flies over, if the enemy's warship is full of dead people, can he not see it?"

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
