Age of Conquest Reborn

When this matter was mentioned, the commanders and chiefs of staff of several fleets of the Combined Fleet suddenly woke up from a dream. They nodded and expressed that they knew that it was an important move for Commander Yamamoto to make. If it were not for the reinforcement of the North American battlefield,

The Army escort mission in the Australian battlefield, coupled with the sudden illness of Commander Yamamoto and his return to the mainland, I am afraid that the plan to go west to fight in the East Indian Ocean has begun to be implemented!

Hearing Yamamoto Isoroku's name, General Nagumo Tadashi's face became obviously uncomfortable. He didn't want to hear Yamamoto Isoroku's name on such an occasion, but he would never dare and cannot deny it openly.

What was the predecessor’s plan to head west to the eastern Indian Ocean?

Who is Yamamoto Isoroku? In the Imperial Navy, he is a god-like existence. Admiral Nagumo can be dissatisfied with other senior members of the Navy, but only in front of Yamamoto Isoroku, he has no ability to be dissatisfied.

No, Yamamoto is also the idol-level god of war that he admires, and he was his former boss!

"Chief of Staff Matsuda, since it is the battle plan deployed by Commander Yamamoto Kyushi before returning home, it must be a well-thought-out strategy that can withstand scrutiny. Please explain it to everyone, and I will take the opportunity to understand it!" Admiral Nagumo said

His tone suddenly became gentle and he said.

The unnatural look on General Nagumo's face fell into the eyes of Chief of Staff Matsuda. He felt contempt in his heart, but with a respectful expression on his face, he said: "Yes! Commander, I will follow your instructions!"

"

"To put it simply, the core of Commander Yamamoto's plan to use part of the main fleet of the Combined Fleet to head west to the eastern Indian Ocean is to cut off the maritime logistics supply line of the China Independent Division's troops on the Australian battlefield!"

"Everyone knows that the East Indian Ocean is the only and very important sea transportation line for the China Independent Division on the Australian battlefield. If the combined fleet cuts off the Chinese maritime arteries, then it will be unfavorable for the Australian battlefield.

For the Australian Front Army, it is the greatest support!”

"The Chinese have an old saying, which is called 'Taking fire from under the cauldron!' This is the purpose of the plan formulated by Commander Yamamoto. Moreover, the joint fleet's mission to fight in the eastern Indian Ocean is to open up an independent battlefield, and all achievements have nothing to do with the army.

, we don’t have to worry about making wedding clothes for the army!”

Chief of Staff Matsuda knew that even though he had persuaded Commander Nagumo by bringing out the plan of the shattered Commander Yamamoto, after all, he was the current commander of the Combined Fleet. If he looked forward and backward, the plan would still remain on paper, and he could only impress Nangumo.

Only the most secret part of Commander Yun's heart can he succeed!

Sure enough, after Nagumo Chuichi heard these words, he finally had a smile on his face and said: "Very good, General Yamamoto is worthy of being an Imperial Navy, no! He is a legend in the Imperial Navy. This one goes out to the east Indian Ocean from the west

, the combat plan to cut off the China Independent Division troops and maritime logistics supply lines on the Australian battlefield is perfect. Chief of Staff Matsuda can issue this plan to all fleets!"

"After the meeting, you all will go back. You must carefully prepare according to the plan and wait for the order from the fleet headquarters. Before that, the first problem we have to solve is to provide the land-based aircraft group of the China Independent Division from the Southwest Pacific Theater and

Several heavy losses have prevented it from disturbing northern Australia, which will relieve our worries!"

"From today on, the land-based aircraft group of the China Independent Division will have a new opponent in the sky of northern Australia, the carrier group of the Imperial Navy Combined Fleet. Gentlemen, we have been silent for too long, and it is time to show our sharp teeth.

!”

The words of General Nanyun Zhongyi were full of murderous intent, gearing up, and full of confidence. He had never fought against Le Yiqin's Southern Flying Group fleet, let alone suffered a loss. He probably still had no control over the combat power of the independent division's aviation force.

My impressions from more than ten years ago were all about the combined fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy, which was invincible in the eastern Pacific waters and taught the United States Navy a lesson.

However, his confident words did not arouse the excitement of several fleet commanders and chiefs of staff present. They had personally experienced that in the inland sea and airspace of the Southwest Pacific Islands, the ace of the Imperial Japanese Navy - the Combined Fleet and China

The independent division's land-based aircraft group fought for three days and ended with the loss of more than one-third of the carrier-based aircraft. The lesson is absolutely profound!

They also know that the Southern Flying Group of the China Independent Division Aviation Force is definitely a behemoth that is difficult to offend. The pilots are all a group of desperadoes. Its commander, Le Yiqin, is covered in thorns and is definitely not someone to be trifled with. Therefore,

, I don’t think much of Commander Nagumo Chuichi who is full of confidence and very arrogant. It’s not that he is afraid of war, but he is just clear-headed. Only after suffering a loss can he understand what is going on!

Nagumo Chuichi said so and did so. Under his order, except for the Fifth Fleet, which normally escorts the Army transferred to the Australian battlefield from the North American battlefield, several other fleets of the Combined Fleet were not involved.

They are all actively preparing for operations in the east and west Indian Ocean.

The carrier-based aircraft force, which has regained most of its strength, has also laid down a tight line of defense in the airspace of the Timor Sea and the Arafura Sea, waiting for the enemy to collide. The carrier-based aircraft group of the Combined Fleet can be said to have all the advantages, and the independent division

If the land-based aircraft fleet of the Southern Aviation Group Le Yiqin wants to continue its air strikes in northern Australia, the skies over the above two sea areas will be an unavoidable hurdle!

The frequent activities of the carrier-based aircraft fleet of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet in the airspace of the Timor Sea and the Arafura Sea naturally could not escape the surveillance of the Southern Flying Group's ground radar stations on various islands in the southwest Pacific. Soon, one by one about the Japanese Navy

Information on the activity patterns and scope of the combined fleet's carrier-based aircraft groups was gathered into Le Yiqin's hands.

After reading the information, Le Yiqin used red and blue pencils to draw a red arc on the map of the Timor Sea and Arafura Sea airspace, and then fell silent.

He Zhijun, chief of staff and director of the operations department of the Southern Flying Group, was standing by, watching the commander's every move. Seeing that he remained silent, he couldn't help but said: "Commander, according to intelligence, the Japanese Navy's combined fleet is carrying

The aircraft fleet has joined the Australian battlefield, which is very detrimental to our bombing of northern Australia!"

"Indeed!" Le Yiqin agreed with He Zhijun's analysis, and then said: "This is a bit strange. The carrier-based aircraft fleet of the United Fleet, which was more honest than rabbits some time ago, suddenly became proactive and was obviously heading towards us.

, you see, its range of activities just blocks the attack route of our fleet, why did that old devil Nagumo Chuichi change his gender? "

"Zhijun, convey my order. Each two fighter regiments will form an air group. They will carry out exploratory attacks on the Japanese carrier-based air group from all directions and airspace. If encountering interception by the Japanese carrier-based air group, return immediately.

, Don’t be reluctant to fight. Remember, not a single bomber will be dispatched in this operation. I will personally lead the fleet of aircraft on the route closest to Darwin port!"

"Commander, what is your purpose?" He Zhijun asked, not quite understanding.

"Hey hey hey!" Le Yiqin smiled slyly and said, "I still don't understand. That old devil Nayun Zhongyi has changed his gender. I have to touch his water depth. Why are you bringing bombers?"

"Understood!" He Zhijun said with a smile, "Commander, I think you are much more cunning than Nayun Chuichi!"

On the same day, the Southern Flying Group dispatched seven fighter groups and more than 800 fighter jets from 14 fighter groups. They flew from different directions across the center line of the Timor Sea and Arafura Sea airspace, heading towards various targets in northern Australia.

Immediately, under the order of Admiral Nagumo Tadayama, the carrier-based aircraft fleet of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet was dispatched to intercept. The two sides encountered each other in an air battle. However, unexpectedly, the menacing independent division aviation fleet encountered Japanese warships.

When the carrier-based aircraft group came into contact, it retreated without a fight and returned quickly. In compliance with the orders of the Combined Fleet Headquarters, the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group did not pursue it.

Such an unexpected result, the expected large-scale air battle did not happen, which made all the commanders of the Japanese naval combined fleet breath a sigh of relief. They were under the hands of these desperado-like Chinese pilots.

Here, I suffered a big loss.

General Nagumo Chuda, who received the report, had a very contemptuous expression, and said a few words that were quite neat and contrasting, "It's just a bluff, it's just a start, a tail end, so why be afraid!"

Le Yiqin's fighter plane was shot down at the Makassar Field Airport in Sulawesi Island. He jumped out of the cabin and said to the Chief of Staff He Zhijun who came up to him: "Nagyun Chuichi, this old devil, is serious about it. Good guy, we are dispatched in full force."

Come and deal with me!"

"The combined fleet of the little Japanese is behaving very abnormally. I'm afraid it has another purpose. Zhijun, I will dictate and send a telegram to the division commander immediately..."

On the edge of the Great Sand Desert in Western Australia, there are continuous, undulating sand dunes on one side, and a semi-desert landscape covered with grass and thorns, with low tropical forests flashing from time to time. This is a completely different landscape.

In the area, a mechanized force whose head and tail cannot be seen is divided into several groups and is marching rapidly to the west. This is a directly affiliated corps unit marching westward, marching on the edge of the desert.

Artillery carts dragging large-caliber heavy artillery, rocket launcher carts, self-propelled artillery, tanks and trucks full of soldiers, logistics convoys filled with ammunition and supplies, long lines across the city, rolling up yellow dust all over the sky, speeding past for hundreds of meters.

Outside, it was impossible to see the target clearly. The spicy air mixed with the choking yellow dust hit people's faces. The sweat mixed with the dust made it sticky and uncomfortable.

An armored command vehicle parked under a semi-hardened sand dune. In front of him was the spectacular scene of hundreds of thousands of mechanized troops marching. Tang Qiuli stood on the sand dune, his combat uniform was covered with dust, and his face was full of dust.

The soldiers were all the same, sweat mixed with dust covered their original faces.
