The Pacific Fleet is no longer the size it was when it was first built. It has more ships and more complete personnel. The most important thing is that as the senior leaders and front-line commanders of the Xuebing Army have grown up, this fleet has become capable of handling wars on its own. Ability, such that the existence of the French Volunteer Army is no longer indispensable. Of course, the French are not willing to impart the experience they have learned or even exchanged their lives to the Chinese so selflessly. However, on the one hand, after After getting along for a long time, a considerable number of French volunteers have established deep friendships with the students, and they are willing to hand over what they have learned to their friends just because of this friendship; on the other hand, The strength of the cadet army made the senior leaders of the French Volunteer Army realize that it may not be possible to restore the country through the help of the cadet army. In addition to the above, plus the benefits of learning from the Pacific Fleet, a considerable number of French Volunteer Army members have now integrated into this fleet. , are accustomed to their own identities and positions, and the best among them are even serving as captains of main battleships, and are already the real senior leaders of the Pacific Fleet. This is what Degu and other participants can do with Chen Shichang and others. The fundamental reason for uniting as one,
Two days later, after a reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance air battle, Bian Jingdao's Beijing mobile fleet and the Japanese Yamato aircraft carrier fleet's third mobile fleet had a test in the waters between Yendena Island and Tlangan Island** Fire, the flagship of the Japanese Third Mobile Fleet was a heavy cruiser and did not have a battleship. Therefore, the Beijing mobile fleet gained the advantage in range. The battleship Beijing opened fire first, nearly 40 kilometers away from the Japanese ship. When a cannon is fired at such a distance, no matter how high the artillery level is, the hit rate will not be too high. After all, on a bumpy battleship, even if the timing of firing is not well grasped, it will produce huge errors. The Beijing's eight main guns each fired one round. Unfortunately, except for one shot that hit the Japanese fleet and caused a small commotion, there was no other performance. The reconnaissance plane fed back the news. Bian Jingdao learned that the Japanese fleet was approaching rapidly. , and its main fleet group 150 kilometers away was releasing fighter jets. He ordered the fleet to retreat to the scheduled combat sea area, and at the same time reported to Chen Shichang,
At this time, with the Timor Sea as the center, the three fleets of China and Japan had begun search operations against the enemy fleet as early as a week ago. So far, this reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance war has followed the example of the Pacific Fleet with 9 Maintaining a lead of 23, however, although the Yamato aircraft carrier fleet and the Wuwei aircraft carrier fleet were defeated in the reconnaissance battle, they also deduced the approximate location and fleet size of the Pacific Fleet. Previously, the Japanese base camp Although the information about the dispatch of the entire Xue Pacific Fleet was obtained through the New Delhi agency, it was limited to this. After all, compared to the fleet, the Indian Ocean is too vast, and east and north of Australia, there are dense islands and complicated hydrological conditions. If the Pacific Fleet chooses to hide in one place, the Japanese army will have no way to find it. This is why Yamamoto Isoroku knew that dividing forces was a taboo for military strategists but still divided the combined fleet into three. The Japanese army's strategic step is to ignore the Yamato and Whether the Wuwei aircraft carrier fleet can find the main force of the Xue Pacific Fleet near Australian waters and engage in a decisive battle with it, it is necessary to use the Wujiu aircraft carrier fleet to destroy Karachi first. With the current scale of the Xue Pacific Fleet, material supplies will definitely be a big problem Problem, then, as long as Karachi is destroyed, the Pacific Fleet will become an eagle without wings, and its fall will be only a matter of time. In Yamamoto Isoroku's view, it is natural that the Yamato and Wuwei aircraft carrier fleets can launch at the same time. The best thing is that it doesn't matter even if they can't be launched at the same time. Therefore, when Chuichi Nagumo reported that they had found the location of the Pacific Fleet and would launch an attack, he approved Chuichi Nagumo's combat request, but at the end of the reply Special note: This battle is of great importance. Please proceed with caution. I called Nagumo Chuichi, and he called Tsukahara No. 243, asking him to rush to the battlefield as quickly as possible. Then, he sent someone to rush him. A huge sand table, and then a group of generals from the Navy Ministry surrounded the sand table and started a war chess deduction.
Chongqing, the headquarters war room, as Bian Jingdao's Beijing mobile fleet and the Japanese mobile third fleet took fire, the headquarters bosses headed by Ouyang Yun put down their work one after another, and also gathered around a newly made The huge sand table, like the Japanese generals of the Japanese Navy Ministry, began the battle flag deduction...
"Now it depends on whether the Japanese army will follow our army's steps. As long as the Yamato aircraft carrier fleet dares to enter this sea area, then I dare to say that our army will be 50% sure of this battle." Ouyang Yun held the command in hand. Whip, light up the Timor Sea area near Yendena Island. Unlike Chen Shichang and Degu who are not optimistic about the missile speedboat force, Ouyang Yun has high hopes for this new force. The missiles equipped on each missile speedboat are also Just six, the number is not enough to form an overwhelming advantage. However, as long as they are within the range, the Japanese army has no weapons to deliberately compete with them. Those huge aircraft carriers are just targets. It is the guidance performance of Poseidon ship-to-ship missiles. It is still very weak, but if three, no, four ships are concentrated to deal with one aircraft carrier, Ouyang Yun believes that even if it cannot be sunk, it will definitely not be a problem to destroy its flight deck and even the engine room and ammunition depot. Five Thirteen missile speedboats, which means mobilizing thirty, can also deal with seven aircraft carriers...
The two sides are still continuing to get closer. If Ouyang Yun and Yamamoto Isoroku can climb up and have a bird's eye view, they will find that the Pacific Fleet is slowly moving toward the designated sea area in units of aircraft carrier fleets, while the Yamato aircraft carrier fleet is moving forward at full speed. , from time to time, fighter planes flew up from the aircraft carriers and heavy cruisers of both sides. Then, over the center line, which was about the same distance from the fleets of both sides, an air battle began. It was obvious that the commanders of both sides wanted to determine the enemy's position first, and then launch an attack. pre-emptive strike,
The battle situation on the front line was transmitted back to Tokyo and Chongqing through radio waves from time to time. Therefore, on two huge seascape sand tables, battleships and aircraft were placed in the corresponding positions. As more and more battleships and fighter planes were placed Putting it on the sand table, the atmosphere during the two battles also became solemn.
"The submarine force has begun to engage in battle. Our army dispatched anti-submarine aircraft first..."
"Very good, two Japanese submarines were sunk."
"Xinxi, one of the Chinese submarines was sunk."
... The calls from above sounded from time to time in the two war rooms, and on the sand table, the fleets of both sides were getting closer and closer. Finally, groups of fighter planes collided together.
(Old poison: I am going to Xuzhou at the end of the month. It may take three days, so I have to save at least three chapters. Unfortunately, there are a lot of things in the unit recently, so I can only try to update once a day. Well, I have already exceeded it. Four years, hehe, in the end, of course, we must try to be as perfect as possible, a war between aircraft carriers, look forward to it,)
