The war went surprisingly smoothly, far exceeding Wainwright IV's expectations. The U.S. military reconnaissance planes brought back clearer photos of Guadalcanal. Through these photos, Wainwright IV believed that, let alone completely capturing Guadalcanal, he had obtained a
To advance to the base, it would require at least the sacrifice of more than 10,000 people. Wainwright IV made such a judgment, naturally based on his own record of frequent battles with the Japanese army in the past. It is a bit incredible to say that at that time and space, the US military was in embarrassment.
After being driven out of the Philippines by the Japanese army, although the battles with the Japanese army would be miserable, they would hardly suffer any defeats. At this time and space, the US military had completely withdrawn from the Philippines, and more than 30,000 people were studying in the army.
With the help of the National Liberation Army, its combat power has been greatly improved. When it came to fight with the US military, it suffered repeated defeats. Even now, even the pure National Liberation Army cannot defeat it. The offensive of the Xuebing Army, except for one
It began to encounter greater resistance, resulting in greater casualties among Zhou Qincai's troops, and what followed was an almost devastating situation.
The Japanese aviation force on Guadalcanal responded quickly. They released fighter planes before the Xuebing Army. However, due to the lack of fifty special attack aircraft, although they appeared on the battlefield in time, they failed to change the situation of the war. The Japanese aviation department will develop its ambitions
After the Fifty Special Attack Aircraft and Mount Fuji moved away, there were almost no major changes to the Zero War. As for the Xuebing Army, with the advent of new technologies in alloy materials and engine technology developed by the Xuebing Army, the performance of the Baiji Dolphin has also improved.
It has been greatly improved. In addition, the best pilots of the Japanese army have basically been recruited into the Fifty Special Attack Air Force. This has led to the fact that the pilots who remain in the general aviation force are basically newbies or not very skilled.
The outstanding Japanese aviation force on Guadalcanal, which once showed off its power in Australia and made the U.S.-Australian coalition look down upon it, was invincible when it came to battle with the naval aviation force of the Cadet Army.
The two groups of aircraft collided over the battlefield, and immediately, groups of fireballs exploded. After the fighters from both sides began to engage in combat, Wainwright IV immediately turned his attention from the ground battlefield to the air. The reason why the U.S.-Australian coalition forces attacked and defended Australia
The main reason for the repeated defeats was the inability of the US Pacific Fleet. Secondly, the land-based aviation force should also bear a certain responsibility. Based on this understanding, Wainwright IV wanted to know how the Xuebing Army fought with the Japanese aviation force.
To fight and gain advantage.
"Even if our pilots are not the best in the world, they are certainly no worse than our fellow pilots!" This was the inherent thought of Wainwright IV.
He set up his telescope, and by coincidence, he saw three Japanese planes rushing towards his direction. These three Japanese planes, one Zero Fighter, and two Type 97 Land Bombers. Wen Lai
King Te IV was deeply impressed by the special attack tactics of the Japanese aviation force. Upon seeing this, he immediately understood the intentions of these three Japanese planes. They obviously wanted to directly attack the aircraft carrier fleet.
The U.S. Pacific Fleet once suffered a big loss from this Japanese tactic in a contest with the Japanese aircraft carrier USS Wuwei. The situation at that time was that the aviation force of the U.S. Pacific Fleet clearly had an advantage in air combat, but because it failed to
Containing about thirty fifty special attack aircraft launched special attack tactics against the aircraft carriers. As a result, two aircraft carriers were sunk and one aircraft carrier was severely damaged. It was okay to lose three aircraft carriers, but the terrible thing is that more than fifty aircraft carriers were damaged as a result.
The HNA bombers sank into the sea along with the aircraft carrier or were directly destroyed on the flight deck. In addition, about fifty fighter jets were unable to return to the aircraft carrier and eventually had to make an emergency landing at sea... At that time, the warring parties had a higher strength than the US Pacific Fleet.
The Japanese aircraft carrier fleet was missing one aircraft carrier and about 30 fighter jets. After the former suddenly lost three aircraft carriers, the combat power of the two sides was completely disproportionate. The U.S. Pacific Fleet immediately fell into a situation of being passively beaten, and was then defeated by the Japanese aircraft carrier.
The USS aircraft carrier fleet pursued and fought until all the battleships were lost.
Learning from the past, Wainwright IV immediately turned around and picked up the phone to call Bai Liusu to call the police. "General, you must remain vigilant enough. The Japanese are very cunning..." Wainwright IV said seriously.
Bai Liusu didn't take it seriously at all, and answered in a standard New York accent: "It doesn't matter, the Japanese can't break out. If they can break out, we have plenty of ways to deal with them!"
Wainwright IV felt very unhappy when his good intentions were treated like a donkey. He put down the phone and said to the adjutant Li An beside him: "The Chinese people are dazzled by the small victory in front of them. The Chinese people let a woman take the lead in such an important battle."
Command, this is simply treating war as a child's play."
Rianono.
Ten minutes later, a Japanese Type 97 bomber broke through the blockade of the Xuebing Army's aviation unit and appeared less than ten kilometers ahead and to the left of the aircraft carrier group.
Wainwright's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly wanted to see the scene when the Japanese plane hit the bridge of the aircraft carrier "Mudaotenwang".
When the Xuebing Army launched a surprise attack on Guadalcanal, Koizumi Minichiro's heart froze when he received the report from Wang Mingcheng. In the past, the empire went into decline after the Battle of Guadalcanal. As a time traveler, he naturally did not want to see this.
The scene re-enacted. As for the current situation in the Pacific, because Guadalcanal has actually become a retreat for the Japanese Australian offensive troops, once Guadalcanal is lost, it will mean that the Australian Japanese army will become a lonely force, so as long as there is a slight possibility,
Even Koizumi didn't want to see Guadalcanal captured by the Xuebing Army.
"Are the Chinese trying to force us into a decisive battle with them?" He pondered while looking at the sand table in front of him.
"Your Excellency, unite with Commander Tsukahara and engage in a decisive battle with the Chinese Pacific Fleet!" To his left, Rear Admiral Mitsuru Kishi, the captain of the Takeku aircraft carrier, said with enthusiasm.
The top brass of the Japanese Navy are wary of not having weapons to target the Gakuin Poseidon ship-to-ship missiles, and dare not engage in a decisive battle with the Gakuin Pacific Fleet at this stage. However, its lower-level officers, especially the commanders of the front-line troops, are eager to fight a bloody battle in the Timor Sea.
Feeling the shame of defeat, he wanted to defeat the Pacific Fleet in a decisive battle to completely change the situation in the Pacific.
Unlike Yamamoto and others who had to consider the entire war situation in an all-round way, people like Kishi Mitsuru and others were more concerned about their personal careers and considered whether they could single-handedly make great contributions to the country and become national heroes whose names would be passed down through the ages.
After Kishi Mianji, several other general-level generals of the Takeku aircraft carrier fleet also said: "Your Excellency, let's have a decisive battle with the Chinese!"
"Your Excellency, we are ready!"
"Your Excellency, at a time when the country is in decline on the battlefield, our Royal Navy should win a great victory to boost the morale of the people. Your Excellency, please order the attack!"
