Time backtracking…

At the end of May, Liao Mingyu received secret information from the Americans. The Japanese Navy sent a fleet led by the Yamato battleship to set off from its native Wu Port and headed towards Singapore's waters.

At that time, the US military planned to send the Fifth Fleet to the area to attack the few Japanese naval forces, but since the Okinawa Battle was entering a white-hot stage, the troops they could allocate were limited, and it became extremely difficult to eat the other side by themselves.

Therefore, we had to seek help from the Allies in Southeast Asia, hoping that Stilwell, the highest commander of the Myanmar-Indian War Zone, would support Yi2.

According to the situation, the Allies in Southeast Asia wanted to take control of the Pacific war, which was beyond the reach.

Even if you use the "Long-legged" B29, it is impossible to fly directly from India to Singapore to attack. Other fighter jets are even more impossible. The range is one aspect, and the key risk is too great.

But who would have thought that Liao Mingyu's expeditionary army was so powerful that it advanced from northern Myanmar and almost conquered the entire Myanmar. It was almost at the Isthmus of Kra, and it was about to enter Malaysia.

So this important task of helping him was with his expeditionary army, and he really couldn't find anyone else.

Liao Mingyu was not vague and immediately asked his air force to prepare and let the two flight squadrons led by Andrew arrive at the southern Bogu Airport on standby.

But due to the limitation of the range of fighter jets, if the battlefield can still be helpful in the Andaman Sea or the Strait of Malacca, it will be too late to reach no matter how far it is. You can't drive the b29 to throw bombs on the Yamato.

The plan could not keep up with the changes, and the Japanese army seemed to have discovered the American intentions against them. The Yamato fleet suddenly split into two, allowing the two destroyers to change their routes, actively slowing down the speed and exposing their whereabouts, causing the US military to wrongly judge their location.

The weather at that time was not conducive to the attack. The heavy rainy weather gave the Japanese Navy a good hidden environment. After the Fifth Fleet arrived at the position based on the wrong information, it was found that it was not the main force of the enemy at all.

At this time, the main force of the Yamato fleet took advantage of the time difference and arrived at the Sulawesi waters first and headed straight for Singapore. The two Japanese destroyers quickly got rid of the US military's followers with their mobility.

It was not that the US aircraft carrier-based aircraft did not want to chase after it at that time, but instead took the flight risk of bad weather to attack the two destroyers... It was really not worth the effort.

This time the fleet intercepted the attack, but unexpectedly, the Japanese were fooled by them, which really made the senior management of the Allied Command lose face and was very embarrassed.

It would be obviously unrealistic to attack Singapore's port, so the operation was forced to end in failure. The Japanese Yamato had to spend a few more days to survive.

However, the current occupation is still unfavorable to the Japanese army, and the Yangon battlefield maintained relatively stable under the deliberate intention of Liao Mingyu.

This made Itagaki Seishiro, the new commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, relieved and no longer rushed to send naval troops to rescue Yangon.

But the good times didn't last long. The Japanese warship was leaking everywhere at this moment, and the decayed battlefields were simply unable to make up for the situation.

First of all, the Philippines war was in a hurry. The battle of Mindanao, which started in March, is now in a complete defeat.

The Battle of Lyte Gulf last year basically confirmed this fact. Although the Japanese army was at a disadvantage at that time, after all the battles in Saipan and Mariana Islands were lost, if the Philippines or Huaxia treasure islands were lost, the lifeblood of its empire's "South Line" resources would be cut off, and the local ties with China and North Korea would be cut off in Southeast Asia.

The Japanese war gambler made another old habit and decided to take a gamble, trying to repel the Allied landing troops on Leyte and defeat their maritime forces.

After several considerations, the Allied forces gave up attacking the treasure island of Huaxia and first landed in the Philippines. They were determined to cover the landing with superior military strength and defeated the Imperial Japanese Navy that came to support them.

As expected, the Japanese's behavior of taking care of their heads and not caring about their butts was doomed to fail. The Japanese Navy Combined Fleet, which was far inferior in number, suffered heavy losses, and 13 heavy warships above cruisers were sunk.

Japan's sea-based and land-based aviation forces in the Philippines were eliminated, seriously damaging Japan's overall strength. From then on, the Japanese Navy was no longer a strategic force battle with the United States in the Pacific War.

This battle also laid the foundation for the US military to successfully capture the Philippine Islands, Okinawa and other places later.

Due to the hopeless situation of the battle, Japan launched a suicide attack organized by the Kamikaze Special Attack Team in this battle. The first battle hit the Australian cruiser, the Australian cruiser, severely, which seemed to show that the special attack mission had some effect.

Starting from October 25 last year, the Japanese army began to conduct suicide attacks on allied ships in an organized manner. A large number of so-called "Kamikaze Special Forces" joined the crazy attack on the enemy's naval fleet, attempting to use their pitiful flesh and blood body and fearless spiritual pillar to severely damage the enemy.

In the original time and space, the Yamato was penetrated by the US Fifth Fleet during a suicide mission and sank on the deep Pacific Ocean.

However, due to the butterfly effect caused by some external reasons, the Yamato has not only not sunk, but has made it survive for nearly half a year and is still in full blood to Singapore.

The main purpose of the Americans was to liberate the Philippines, end Japanese rule, eliminate the remaining Japanese defenders, and cut off the material routes between Japan and Southeast Asia, and make plans to further land on the land.

Now that the Japanese army has reached a time of life and death in the Philippines, it is a foregone conclusion that they will not make corresponding countermeasures and finally throw away the Philippine Islands.

At this moment, the Yamato fleet, which came to escort Singapore, came in handy. Seishiro Itagaki immediately thought of asking the fleet to go north to support the Philippines.

But the navy was very angry. The fleet commander of the fleet, Lieutenant General Ito, didn't take him, as the highest commander of the Southern Army seriously.

The reason is that our navy came to maintain the security of the Strait of Malacca by the base camp and prevent the enemy navy from attacking Singapore. As for the rest, it is impossible to control it. Anyway, we have not received new orders from the base camp.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! There is no way, Seishiro Itagaki can only report to the senior management first. After several days of pulling the moji, the base camp finally issued an order to the fleet.

But Ito Kazuichi dragged his back on the grounds that the fleet lacked necessary supplies, which made Ito Seishiro jumped out of his way.

Time doesn't wait for anyone. If it drags on, the US military will almost occupy the southern part of the Philippines. After only a few days of taking office, the situation made mistakes. The commander can't do it anymore.

The reason why Ito Kazuichi was indifferent to the army was not only because he was not in the face of the army, but also related to the recent military conflicts.

Because the routes that are open to sea are now severely blocked by the Americans, many of the materials plundered by the colonies cannot be transported back. In addition, the high-level Japanese military forces are sturdy and limited resources are given priority to the army, which has led to the lives of civilians getting worse day by day. Famine swept across the entire four islands of Japan, and many places have seen tragic situations of starving people to death.

Even the Japanese Navy, which claimed to be the hope of the Empire, was not very good at this moment.

When the Yamato fleet officers and soldiers were resting in Wugang, each person could only get less than half a kilogram of rice and kelp vegetables every day. It took a long time to eat meat. Some naval soldiers even became fishermen and went to sea to catch fish.

But the situation in Singapore and Malaysia is much better, because they only need to constantly plunder and exploit local residents here, and at least they can get enough time.

Although the things you stolen are difficult to transport out now, the materials are quite abundant.

This made the officers and soldiers of the Yamato fleet who came from afar excited, as if they had never eaten the local buns that had entered the city. They wanted to take whatever they saw. Like a group of fucking bandits, the Japanese army shook their heads when they saw it.

Originally, the two sides of Japan were not in the process of fighting, even if they were in a bad mood, they couldn't bear to argue. In just a few days, several incidents of naval soldiers and army soldiers fighting.

When Itagaki Seishiro immediately denounced his troops and punished several waves of army officers in succession, so that the incident would not be serious and the other party could not find fault.

Before leaving, the old Japanese held a generous meeting, providing a lot of food and benefits to the officers and soldiers of the fleet, and also sent many young girls to the senior officers of the fleet, which made the navy praise repeatedly.

Seishiro Itagaki was smiling and criticized in his heart. But for the sake of the overall situation, even if he was unhappy, he had to choose to calm down.

So on the morning of June 5, the Yamato fleet, which had been supplying for more than a week at the Singapore port, embarked on its journey again...
