The first thousand and ninety-five chapters clean up the mess
"Japanese pilots went crazy and braved anti-aircraft fire to dive and drop bombs. Many times, their fighter planes smashed into the target with thick smoke and fire. This was actually a lose-lose strategy. Even if the Japanese army could win, they would still pay a lot of sacrifices.
There is a cost, and this method of warfare has inherent flaws, because the maneuverability of special attack aircraft is too poor, so as long as the soldiers who take part in the battle are brave enough, they can convert their technical advantages into battlefield advantages. This was created by our Xuebing Army
A large number of victories have been proved, but it is obvious that American soldiers cannot adapt to this kind of cruel confrontation... It is unclear why Commander Jin transferred the fighter planes back. Without the containment of air power, the Japanese pilots can naturally behave more violently.
...The Third Reinforced Armored Brigade, which is considered the most elite in the US Pacific Forces, but they only lasted less than a quarter of an hour before giving up resistance..." This is the diary of Huo Wujia, the staff officer of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, on that day.
According to a passage written in the book, Huo Wujia was sent to the US-Australia coalition as a liaison officer and participated in the Battle of Wabao. He was also fortunate to witness the entire process of the US-Australia coalition from victory to complete collapse.
When the Japanese special fighter group just appeared in the sky over the battlefield, MacArthur also tried to completely capture Wabalao and change the offensive and defensive identities to hold on to the end. However, as General Bremen "discovered the large Japanese army, our troops would have to evacuate."
"The telegram came. He knew that if he persisted, it would most likely lead to the entire army being surrounded, so he had to grit his teeth and issue a retreat order.
In the Bismarck Sea, in the captain's room of the second aircraft carrier named after the Hornet in the U.S. Pacific Fleet (the first one was sunk by the Japanese combined fleet in the Pearl Harbor incident), King held the telegram just sent by MacArthur and witnessed a Japanese aircraft carrier.
The plane was torn apart in the intensive anti-aircraft fire, and the expression on his face looked extremely painful. Like MacArthur, before going into battle, Jin was smug, thinking that this time he could finally rectify his name and teach the Japanese a painful lesson. When the Japanese special attack fighter
When the cluster appeared in the sky northwest of the aircraft carrier fleet, although he was worried, he did not take it seriously. Although the fighter formation that raided Singapore ended in the destruction of the entire army, because the fleet had a total of nine fleet aircraft carriers and equipped
With a large number of escort ships, he believed that there would be absolutely no problem in resisting the Japanese retaliatory attack.
"Whether it is ships, aircraft carriers or fighter planes, we have an absolute numerical advantage, so the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet Takeku will definitely not dare to come over and rely on special attack fighters to attack us. Even if Koizumi is willing to spend a small amount of money, as long as our ground troops
Taking down Wabao will give us a firm foothold in the western peninsula of New Guinea. The Japanese attack can only have a harassing effect. Gentlemen, please remember that this time we are fighting in conjunction with the ground troops, so we only need to hold the line.
That's it. The Japanese army concentrates its air power to attack us, and then the ground troops will not have to worry about air defense. As long as we survive this round of attacks, the situation in Wabalao will be decided." These words were spoken by Jin Zai about half way through.
What he said a few hours ago can be said to still be echoing in the ears of his captains. In this way, the telegram sent by MacArthur is simply a slap in the face, and it seriously questions his ability to predict the battlefield.
.
It turns out that the Japanese raid on the Pacific Fleet was just a feint, just to provide cover for the Takeku aircraft carrier fleet.
"Sir, what should we do now?" Hornet Captain Cole asked loudly.
"What, oh, give me the order to retreat."
"yes."
Cole retreated, and Jin's adjutant saw that his face was extremely ugly. He mustered up the courage to step forward and said: "General, so far, we have shot down at least thirty Japanese special attack fighters, and we have lost one escort aircraft carrier... "
"But the ground troops were beaten away by the Japanese and suffered serious losses. Without the ground troops, relying on our navy alone, can we capture Wabaluo or even capture the entire New Guinea?" Jin suddenly roared. It was obvious that the adjutant's words had the opposite effect. Let him find an opportunity to vent his emotions.
The adjutant did not dare to say anything, but Jin calmed down. He lay on the table, looked at the map in front of him, and suddenly pointed to the north of the Bimax Sea and said: "We will not go through the Solomon Sea, but go directly north into the Pacific to bomb the ground troops. The enemy planes should come from the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet, we have to beware of the Japanese ambushing us in the Solomon Sea, SHIT."
In Chongqing, when the news came that the U.S.-Australian coalition forces had to abandon Wabalao, which was within easy reach, and retreat across the board because of the air attack by the Japanese aircraft carrier, the conference room on the third floor of the Supreme Command fell silent.
Because of Ouyang Yun's attitude, everyone here had begun to doubt whether the US military could capture Waba Lao. However, even so, the news was still too unexpected for them.
"How is it possible that nine aircraft carriers and eleven escort aircraft carriers cannot guarantee air supremacy in the Wabao battlefield?" Chen Cheng first questioned. In his opinion, the U.S. Pacific Fleet was really unsatisfactory.
"Ouyang, look." Zhang Xueliang turned his attention to Ouyang Yun.
Ouyang Yun was also full of shock. He had expected that the US military would not win the final victory, but he never expected that the Americans would lose so miserably. Judging from the intelligence currently available, the US-Australia coalition forces would lose at least five Thousands of people, and because the Australian Legion fled first, these 50,000 people are most likely to be US troops, which means that the number of US troops stationed in Australia will be reduced by half.
"I don't know exactly what happened on the Wabao front line before the new information arrives, but what is certain is that Jin must have fallen into the Japanese trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, and the Japanese plane finally appeared over Wabao It definitely comes from the Takejiu aircraft carrier fleet, and what I am more worried about now is that Koizumi has no follow-up means, such as taking advantage of the situation to bite the US Pacific Fleet again." Ouyang Yun said slowly to adjust his emotions.
"The next target of the Japanese army is not the ground troops of the US-Australia coalition." Feng Yuxiang asked.
"Which is a greater threat to the Japanese forces in Southeast Asia, the ground forces of the US-Australia coalition or the US Pacific Fleet?" Ouyang Yun asked rhetorically.
"Yes, if it were me, I would definitely look for trouble with the U.S. Pacific Fleet first."
"Do you want to remind the US side?" Chen Cheng asked.
Zhang Xueliang responded: "There is no need. I know Jin. He is quite conceited."
Ouyang Yun: "He should be able to think of it. In fact, to put it bluntly, the Japanese army only has a few offensive methods, but the Americans always stumble on them. Even if Jin doesn't have the means to win, he should always be on guard. It's a pity. Well, it seems we have to clean up the mess in Southeast Asia."
