The history is so similar, but the difference is that the time is a full year later, and the warring parties have become China and Japan. At about three o'clock in the morning on August 7, 1943, with the help of the cover of bad weather, the Pacific Fleet imitated The four aircraft carriers under his command, headed by the Musoutenwang and several Chinese and American ships, carrying nearly 50,000 Chinese, French, American and Australian soldiers, quietly appeared 150 kilometers southeast of Guadalcanal Island. place,
After the Battle of the Timor Sea, the Xuebing Army conducted three relatively large-scale naval battles with the Wuwei aircraft carrier fleet. In these three naval battles, the Xuebing Army lost once and was seriously injured by one aircraft carrier, while the Japanese army lost twice. , one aircraft carrier was sunk, and another aircraft carrier lost its combat capability and self-destructed in the Coral Sea,
Three naval battles almost depleted the Wuwei aircraft carrier fleet's fifty special attack aircraft. As for the Xuebing Army, Poseidon ship-to-ship missiles were finally unable to be supplied, so the two sides entered a tacit truce period of about a month. During this period , the ground troops of the Australian Army were not idle. Chu Tiange and Guo Kui each led one unit. Chu Tiange took the lead in attacking and Guo Kui took the lead in supporting. Chu Tiange began to launch a counterattack towards the Japanese strongholds along the Timor Sea, while Guo Kui continued to attack. Passing through central Australia and advancing towards Newcastle's defense line,
After the Battle of the Timor Sea, the Japanese Combined Fleet actually lost the courage to engage in a decisive battle with the Pacific Fleet. After Tsukahara 243's Wuwei aircraft carrier fleet suffered another defeat, a serious problem appeared in the Yamamoto Five. In front of the Sixteenth, pilots, especially pilots with combat experience, suddenly could not meet the needs of the front line. You must know that because of Koizumi Minichiro, the Japanese Navy began to pay attention to the training of pilots before the Pacific War started. Japan's current pilot training system is more than twice as large as that time and space. However, it cannot keep up with the rate of consumption on the front line. This forced Yamamoto to reflect on special attack tactics. It was under this background condition that The Japanese army's fifty special attack aircraft force was required to reduce the frequency of participating in the war, and without the support of the fifty special attack aircraft, the Wuwei aircraft carrier fleet had no capital to compete with the Pacific Fleet. It was worth the U.S.-Australia coalition forces, and the Chinese and French coalition forces launched a full-scale counterattack in Australia. At that time, Tojo Hideki clamored for control over the "National Liberation Army". After careful consideration, Yamamoto Isoroku believed that it was time for the strong man to cut off his arms, and decisively ordered Koizumi Toshiichiro to abandon the Australian strategy, switch from offense to defense, and defend with heavy troops. Solomon Islands and other places to contain this wave of Allied counterattacks,
As a result, the focus of the Allied and Japanese offensives shifted to the Solomon Islands. As the gateway that separates the South Pacific from the Solomon Sea and the Coral Sea, the Solomon Islands have self-evident strategic significance. The Allied forces were unable to participate in the war when the U.S. Pacific Fleet was unable to participate. Next, if you want to launch an offensive against it, you can naturally only rely on the Xue Pacific Fleet. For this reason, the Xue Pacific Fleet has also transformed from Ouyang Yun's "super toy" to become the focus of the world's attention.
Among the many islands in the Solomon Islands, Guadalcanal, because of its special geographical location, is the door lock from the Coral Sea through the Solomon Sea to the South Pacific. It is naturally valued by both the offensive and defensive sides, and the focus of both sides' strategies has gradually shifted to this island. , in the past time and space, the Japanese army lost the initiative in the Pacific War, starting from the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal. As a time traveler, Koizumi Minichiro was deeply impressed by it. Therefore, at the beginning of the capture of Guadalcanal, he mobilized his forces to build large-scale construction on Guadalcanal. And completed the construction of the Guadalcanal defense system three months ago.
On Guadalcanal today, stretches of virgin forest have disappeared, replaced by stretches of steel concrete buildings and frontline airports one after another. When Koizumi built the Guadalcanal defense system, the Japanese army still occupied the island during the Australian War. He took the initiative, so he intended to build Guadalcanal into an aviation transfer station. Now, when the Japanese army switched from offense to defense, these airports also began to play a role. A large number of land-based fighters were flown by Koizumi from Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia and other places. It has been mobilized here, and a large number of transport planes fly between Guadalcanal and Jayapura every day, transporting a large amount of military supplies. If you have to find one word to describe Guadalcanal now, it would be like a bird with its whole body spread out. steel-thorned porcupine,
As for the Allies, because of Ouyang Yun's generosity regarding the Golden Eagle, the Americans had a much calmer mentality (of course, the fundamental reason was still lack of strength), they were no longer obsessed with the ownership of command, and handed over the highest command of Guadalcanal. The alliance was handed over to Bai Liusu, with a woman commanding more than 60,000 allied troops to attack Guadalcanal. Once this matter was disclosed, it attracted great attention from the Western media. The U.S. military, such as Admiral Jin, naturally responded to He criticized them and even asserted that if the Guadalcanal attack failed, the problem would lie in the selection of the supreme commander.
Regarding this, there is also controversy in China, but the official media has unified the tone and praised Bai Liusu. She regards Bai Liusu as the new generation of Hua Mulan and believes that under her leadership, the Allied forces will be able to defeat the Japanese army and achieve victory. Victory at the Battle of Guadalcanal,
Ignore these verbal remarks and focus on the present. At this moment, in the captain's room of the Wudao Tianwang, Bai Liusu is wearing a headset and giving orders to each ship. She can speak Chinese for a while, English for a while, and sometimes even She started to speak French, and as Zhang Liang, who was standing next to her, put the last card with the name of the squadron and the name of the squadron commander on the table, she took off her headset and looked around and said: "Everyone, let's get started. "
"Yes." Everyone responded, and then except for Zhang Liang and a few others, everyone rushed to their respective posts.
"The little devil would never have thought that we would attack in such bad weather. We will definitely win this time." Zhang Liang said while putting the card into his briefcase,
Bai Liusu looked out the window, looking at the lights that lit up the stairs in the storm. She gritted her teeth gently and said in a hoarse voice: "We must win."
On Rennell Island, two hundred kilometers due south of Guadalcanal, on the watchtower of a lookout post near the sea, the new gate guard was taking a nap against the wooden wall. He didn't know what he was dreaming about, and he grinned. Suddenly, he was woken up by a loud shout. After waking up, he turned around and looked around. When he saw his surroundings clearly, he muttered: "It turned out to be a dream." Then he closed his eyes again,
In front of him on the left, Jiro Maki, who had just screamed, saw him like this. He didn't know where he got the courage. He stepped forward and slapped him in the face, shouting: "Shinmon-kun, don't sleep, something is going to happen."
Maki's slap was hard enough. It not only drove away Xinmen's sleepiness, but also made him full of anger. "Ba Ge, it's the other way around." He roared and jumped up, then quickly grabbed the man next to him. Guardrail, and then, he looked out at the sea under the raging storm, his eyes wide open, completely stupid,
