Chapter 90 Pressure

[Latest Broadcast] Tomorrow is 515, the starting point anniversary, the most benefits day. In addition to gift bags and school bags, this time, you must check the 515 red envelopes. There is no reason to not grab the red envelopes. Set the alarm clock~

In this battle, the Japanese Navy injured two aircraft carriers and lost 105 carrier-based aircraft; the US military injured one aircraft carrier each, losing 74 carrier-based aircraft.

On the surface, the Japanese army won the naval battle, because at this time the US Navy had only two available aircraft carriers in the South Pacific, so after sinking one, there was no aircraft carrier available, so the Japanese army should have obtained air and sea control in Guadalam without any suspense.

But this is not the case.

The reason is that the Japanese pilots lost too much. Although they only lost 105 carrier-based aircraft, they lost 148 pilots. In contrast, the United States only sacrificed 26 pilots.

The Japanese army's 100 fighter jets would lose 148 pilots because the crew of the Type 99 bomber was two, and the crew of the Type 97 torpedo was three.

Among the pilots lost by the Japanese army, two dive bomber commanders, three torpedo bomber squadron commanders and another 18 fighter or other team leaders. 49% of the Japanese torpedo bombers, 39% of the dive bombers and 20% of the fighter pilots were killed in battle.

This made the Japanese Navy even though it had two aircraft carriers, the Flying Eagle, and more than 100 carrier-based aircraft, but it had to return to Rabaul because of the lack of well-trained crew... Flying carrier-based aircraft on an aircraft carrier is different from flying land-based fighters. It is relatively easier to fly land-based fighters. It must take off and land on a shorter deck, and there will be various unexpected difficulties when flying. If the pilot is not experienced enough, it will not only fail to form combat effectiveness, but will also bring danger to the aircraft and aircraft carriers.

"Zhang..." Not long after, Clifton called Zhang Chi: "The Japanese aircraft carrier retreated. I originally thought this was good news, but it was not the case!"

"Has the Navy defeated the war?" Zhang Chi asked.

"Yes, how do you know?" Clifton was a little confused.

"I guess!" Zhang Chi replied.

Of course, this was not actually what Zhang Chi guessed. He had known for a long time that the US Navy would lose the naval battle on Guadalcanal.

"Unfortunately, you guessed it right!" Clifton replied: "But... at least the Japanese aircraft carriers have also retreated, right? Both enemies and us are both in the defeat, and we will be less pressure!"

“Do you think we will be less stressed because of this?”

"Isn't it?"

"Colin!" Zhang Chi shook his head and smiled: "The purpose of the Japanese fighting this naval battle is to seize Guadalam. Now, they have won the naval battle. Although they have to withdraw the aircraft carrier due to the situation, what they have to do next..."

"Oh!" Clifton couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "You mean they will attack Guado with all their might?"

"Of course!" Zhang Chi replied: "So, as the Japanese said, be prepared for the decisive battle!"

Zhang Chi was right. In fact, the reason why Yamamoto Iroku withdrew all aircraft carriers was because the pilots suffered too much casualties and the aircraft carrier was no longer able to fight again, and the other was because Yamamoto Iroku was confident that he could seize Guadao at this time.

Just kidding, the 30,000 Japanese Army and a large number of warships would be invincible to defeat the 10,000 Sino-US coalition forces.

So Yamamoto Iroku issued a death order to Yukitori, and he must take Guadalcanal Island within two days. The air force of the Japanese Joint Fleet will land on Guadalcanal Island on the third day!

When Yamamoto Iroku said this, he was not only because of underestimating the enemy, but also because of his anger.

His anger came from the small place of Guadalcanal. Although the Japanese Navy paid such a heavy price, if Japan could not include Guadal Island in its territory after paying such a great price, then he, as an admiral, simply committed suicide by cesarean section.

Of course, Haruki Hakuya felt this pressure, so he immediately transferred the pressure to Maruyama Masao.

This afternoon, Gua Island was extremely quiet.

The Japanese warship suddenly stopped bombing the Guadalang Airport, and the army did not launch an attack on the defense line of the Sino-US coalition forces, but there was a suffocating murderous intent in the dull air... Zhang Chi knew that this was the Japanese army brewing a larger and more violent attack, and this was the tranquility before the storm came.

"Group!" The fellow villager asked Zhang Chi who was looking at the map in the trench: "I heard that the Americans lost again at sea?"

Zhang Chi only said "um". He didn't want to talk too much about this matter.

But the fellow villagers obviously did not notice this, and continued to ask: "The soldiers have never understood one thing. If you want to say that the Americans' planes and warships are much more advanced than the Japanese, why are they always defeated the war at sea?"

"How do you know that Americans' planes and warships are more advanced than Japanese?" Zhang Chi asked.

"It's more to say..." The fellow villager raised his head: "It's said that Americans are... a big industrial country. In fact, we don't understand much about whether it's industrial or not. Just look at this rifle..."

As he said that, his fellow villager raised the m1 rifle in his hand and said, "Whether it is a rifle, cannon or tank on the ground, the Japanese goods are much worse than the American goods. This warship must be like this too!"

What the fellow villagers said is really reasonable, but what the fellow villagers don’t know is that the facts are indeed as the fellow villagers say. In this era, the industrial level of the United States surpassed Japan in all respects, and even the engines of the Zero fighter... are all made of American machine tools.

This is a bit ironic. Japan is fighting against its own industrial importer... This is also one of the reasons why Japan cannot improve its performance in World War II, no matter how it improves it during World War II. Without more advanced machine tools, it cannot produce more advanced and more powerful engines. Then the improvement is that the table tennis ball under the table cannot jump high no matter how high it is.

Zhang Chi put away the map, thought about it and replied: "The war is not as simple as it seems. In the future... it will be difficult for the Japanese to win again!"

Zhang Chi's meaning was not only because he knew that the new American fighter jets targeting Zero Type Weakness would soon be put into service, but also because he knew that the Japanese had lost a large number of pilots and became the last.

"Give me a cheer for my brothers!" Zhang Chi told his fellow villagers: "Win this battle well and give the Japanese and Americans some strength, do you understand?"

"Yes!" the fellow villager responded.

"Zhang..." After the fellow villagers left, Peter said unexpectedly: "Did you think we can win this battle?"

"Of course!" Zhang Chi replied: "Why not?"

"But..." Peter said: "Many people are wondering, the US Navy is defeated, so next, is it time for us to retreat!"
