Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Nimitz frowned deeply, and remained silent for dozens of seconds, as if he was still clueless, and said suspiciously: "The Japanese army has undoubtedly discovered that there are no torpedo planes and bombers on our aircraft carrier, and fighter jets cannot pose a huge threat to their fleet at all, so They dare to push forward aggressively, this is completely in our plan, and it is also a flaw we deliberately exposed to him, is there anything wrong?"

Jiang Haoran said: "Yes, it is true on the surface, but have you ever thought about it? At this time, they are less than a thousand nautical miles away from Midway Island. Although there are no bombers on our aircraft carrier, the B24 and B25 bombers on Midway Island can It is easy to arrive, even the b-24 bombers on Pearl Harbor and the west coast of the United States can barely do it. The air strength of the island army has been reduced by half. Don’t they just have to sit and wait to be killed? But they didn’t hesitate at all, and immediately rushed up at full speed. What does this mean? This shows that they have confidence, they are not afraid of our long-range bombers, so where is their confidence?”

Nimitz slapped his forehead suddenly, suddenly realized, and exclaimed: "Their backup is less than a hundred nautical miles behind them, and this is their confidence!"

Jiang Haoran nodded, indicating that Nimitz had reached the crux of the problem.

The reason why Nimitz is so sure is entirely determined by the distance. Assuming that the island army’s reconnaissance plane finds that the Mi army’s fighter jets and bombers intend to attack their fleet at a distance of [-] nautical miles, if the island army’s rear air force wants to ensure that the front fleet is attacked Arrive at the sky above the fleet for escort before the attack, and the distance must not exceed a hundred nautical miles, otherwise they will be too late.

When Nimitz said these words, he was obviously frightened, his face was full of horror, and all the generals in the room were also pale, and there was suddenly silence in the war room.

If this idea is established, it means that what the Third Fleet must face is far from the four aircraft carrier fleets in front of it.

Before the war, Jiang Haoran and Nimitz made some predictions about how many aircraft carriers the island army could dispatch this time. It is estimated that the number of aircraft carriers they can mobilize is between eight and twelve. That is to say, if the island army decides to concentrate its firepower Forcibly tearing apart the defense line of the Mi Army, then the Third Fleet may have to face eight to twelve aircraft carrier fleets. This is a terrifying number, and anyone will be frightened.

Historically, the island army had 29 aircraft carriers at the end of World War II, including four that hadn’t been launched. But after the war, the island army’s number of aircraft carriers had reached 25. Similarly, it was because of Jiang Haoran’s Strong, forcing the Japanese army to be passive and strong, but this kind of strength is only superficial. Although they occupied Southeast Asia, Southeast Asia did not solve the key problem of their material shortage as scheduled. Wuhan on the battlefield is lost, the situation is far more severe than in history, but the supplies are more scarce than in history, plus they have to improve weapons and expand military expenditures, the national strength, manpower, and financial resources are far from those of the same period in history Far, it is even no exaggeration to say that if they do not know how to assess the situation and change tactics, their annihilation will take a year or two, far from being as long as [-].

In the solemn atmosphere, a senior staff officer of the Mi Army stepped forward and said: "I don't think this battle has been fought at all. The Third Fleet must retreat immediately. Anyway, the monkey army in front of us has already caught up. Our goal of luring the enemy has been achieved." , Even if we retreat, it shouldn’t change the situation much.”

Nimitz was taken aback, looked at the senior staff officer who hesitated for a few seconds, waved his hand and said: "No, no, absolutely not, Yamamoto 56 is not a pig, according to the information he has learned, our army is conducting exercises on Midway Island, and the outer defenses will not let go of a single shot." Just sneaking away will definitely arouse his vigilance, expand the search area, and advance carefully, once we find the ambush fleet on our left and right flanks, the whole plan may fail, so retreat is definitely not possible."

After Nimitz finished speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Jiang Haoran, only to find that he folded his arms around his chest with a calm face, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all, and suddenly asked suspiciously: "Jiang, are you doing well?" solution?"

Jiang Haoran smiled slightly, and was not in a hurry to answer. He stretched out his right hand and made a motion of pinching a cigarette. A staff officer of the Mi Army hurried forward and handed him a cigarette, and lit it for Jiang Haoran. Suddenly he smoked, and everyone in the room looked at him stupidly.

To be honest, since I heard that Jiang Haoran is going to take part in the command of the US Navy, the US Navy generals are full of disdain, and even extremely dissatisfied. Fortunately, he is only a senior staff officer, not a military officer. Otherwise, they would have to blow up the nest, which is obviously playing tricks on the Pacific Fleet.

It's no wonder that an army commander commanding a naval battle, even if he is like a dragon and a tiger on land, but a naval battle is not a concept at all. Almost none of them had any record of naval battles, so no one would be convinced, but the victory in the first battle just now overturned their thinking, so their words and expressions were also full of respect for Jiang Haoran.

Jiang Haoran finished smoking a cigarette, put the cigarette butt out in the ashtray politely, and then looked at Nimitz and said, "I agree with your point of view, you can't retreat! Not only can't you retreat, but we also have to fight Play a game with them to show our purpose of buying time for the rear and delaying the island army's attack at all costs?????? "

Nimitz was obviously a little impatient, and interrupted Jiang Haoran, saying: "I know this, Jiang, our strength is twice or even three times that of the island army. All I know is how we're going to fight this battle without annihilation, and to be precise, what I want is a practical solution, you understand?"

Jiang Haoran's expression froze, apparently he did not expect that Nimitz would fight this battle at the price of "annihilation of the whole army", and he was so straightforward and completely without hesitation. Hao Ran was in awe, and said solemnly: "General Nimitz, although the strength of the enemy and us is very different, head-to-head confrontation is inevitable, but if we grasp it well, it is far from going to guarantee the completion of this mission of luring the enemy with 'annihilation of the entire army'. "

Nimitz's eyes seemed to be lit up, and he couldn't wait to shout: "Tell me about Jiang, tell me quickly?"
