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. In this way, 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 a long period of time,
Over time, a considerable number of French volunteers have established deep friendships with the cadets, and they are willing to hand over what they have learned to their friends just because of this friendship; on the other hand, the cadets
The strength of the French Volunteer Army made the senior leaders of the French Volunteer Army realize that it may not be possible to restore the country with the help of the French Volunteer 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 and are accustomed to it.
He has gained his own identity and position. And the leader among them has served as the captain of the main battleship, and is already a real senior officer of the Pacific Fleet. This is what De Gu and other participants can achieve with Chen Shichang and others.
root cause.
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 fire in the waters between Yendena Island and Tlangan Island.
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.
Fire at such a distance. Even if the artillery level is high, the hit rate will not be too high. After all, on a bumpy battleship, even if the timing of firing is not well grasped, there will be huge errors. Beijing
The eight main guns each fired one round. Unfortunately, apart from one shot entering the Japanese fleet and causing a small commotion, there was no other performance. The reconnaissance plane reported back the news, and Bian Jingdao learned that the Japanese fleet was approaching, and
His main fleet group, 150 kilometers away, was releasing fighter jets. He ordered the fleet to retreat to the planned combat sea area and reported to Chen Shichang at the same time.
At this time, with the Timor Sea as the center, the three Japanese fleets had begun search operations against the enemy fleet as early as a week ago. And in this reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance battle, so far, the Pacific Fleet has lost 9 to 10.
The score of 23 remained in the lead. 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, although the Japanese base camp passed
The New Delhi agency obtained information about the dispatch of the entire Pacific Fleet, but that was limited to that. After all, compared to the fleet, the Indian Ocean is too vast. To the east and north of Australia, there are dense islands and complicated water conditions.
If they choose to hide in one place, the Japanese army will have no way to find them. This is why Yamamoto Isoroku knew that dividing the troops was a taboo for military strategists, but still divided the combined fleet into three. The Japanese army's strategic step was to ignore the Yamato and Wuwei
Whether the aircraft carrier fleet can find the main force of the Pacific Fleet near Australian waters and engage in a decisive battle with it, it is necessary to use the Takejiu aircraft carrier fleet to destroy Karachi first. With the current size of the Pacific Fleet, material supply is definitely a big 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 naturally best if the Yamato and Wuwei aircraft carrier fleets can be launched at the same time.
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 request for combat, but gave special notice at the end of his reply.
: This battle is of great importance, so please proceed with caution. He called Nagumo Chuichi, and he called Tsukahara 243, asking him to rush to the battlefield as quickly as possible. Immediately, he ordered someone to rush to build a giant
Then he and a group of generals from the Navy Ministry gathered around the sandbox and began to deduce war chess.
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 by each missile speedboat are also
Just six, and 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 like targets. However, the guidance performance of Poseidon ship-to-ship missiles
It is still very weak, but if three, no, four ships are gathered together 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, 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 towards the designated sea area in units of aircraft carrier fleets, while the Yamato aircraft carrier fleet is fully advancing.
From time to time, fighter planes flew up from the aircraft carriers and heavy cruisers of both sides. Immediately, over the center line, which was about the same distance from the fleets of both sides, an air battle began. Obviously, the commanders of both sides wanted to determine the enemy's position first, and then launch an attack.
A pre-emptive strike.
The battle situation on the front line was transmitted back to Tokyo and Chongqing through radio waves from time to time, so on two huge seascape sand tables, battleships and aircraft were placed in the corresponding positions. As more and more warships 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, and finally, the groups of fighter planes collided together.
(Old Poisoner: 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 happening in the unit recently... I can only try to update once a day. Well, I have already exceeded it.
Four years, hehe, in the end, of course we have to be as perfect as possible! A war between aircraft carriers! Looking forward to it!)
