Biquge www.wuxiaspot.com, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
It ’s really strange. At the beginning of this naval battle, the US Navy did n’t know how to hit it smoothly. At a distance of more than a dozen kilometers, the gun was fired first. It turned out to be miraculous in the second round of shooting. Sank a destroyer of the Japanese Navy.
With such a high accuracy of hitting, even the naval power Britain has never experienced it. The Japanese navy, who claimed to be invincible in artillery, lost to the U.S. Navy in such artless battles. In the present words, it is-this Unscientific.
However, it may be that the matter is extremely irreversible, or it may be that the US Navy used up its luck at the moment of the war, and it is more likely that the other ’s destroyer really possessed some kind of magical power ... In short, the miracle was never born in the United States. The navy.
Or, to put it less politely, the qualities that the US Navy showed in subsequent battles can almost really reflect their usual training level.
In order to continue firing, the cruiser aimed at the destroyer of the Japanese Xuefeng that was sailing against it. As a result, this gun did not need to reproduce the magical effect of the two guns just now. Even the shadow of the Xuefeng was not hit, and the shells were away from the snow wind. The destroyer was at least a few hundred meters off, and the emotions of the cheerful US Navy fell to the bottom.
Immediately following the American ship began today's evil gate tour-three cruisers fired in turn, the main artillery shells flew densely to the two destroyers of the Japanese army, but these two destroyers seemed to have their own defensive shields. No shells were hit.
Then the U.S. Navy hurriedly avoided the torpedoes thrown over by the Japanese Navy. As a result, they almost collided together and gave the Japanese Navy a record. Although in the end let them escape a disaster, but also scared out of the cold sweat.
The Japanese destroyer on the opposite side suddenly changed its course and turned around to escape, which also let the US Navy breathe a sigh of relief. Anyway, our goal of destroying the opponent ’s warship has been achieved, and we have also created two rounds of artillery and sunk the other ’s destroyer. , Can be considered enough to cross.
So these two Japanese destroyers named Shi Yu and Xue Feng actually miraculously circled around the main fleet of the United States and returned to the main battle sequence of the Japanese joint fleet in the Marshall Islands without any damage. A legendary journey into the Pacific.
The telegram returned to the headquarters of the United Fleet, and Yamamoto 56 felt that what he was worried about would eventually become a reality. The United States, which cannot find the benefits on the German side, is destined to focus its attention on the Japanese joint fleet. At this time, it happened to be the weakest moment of the Japanese navy combined fleet Ribo Nishiyama.
At this moment, the Japanese navy only had the aircraft carriers Akagi and Kaga as well-organized and possessed certain combat capabilities. Then they could only start to count the poor battleships and cruisers in their hands. In this case, the best combat method that Yamamoto 56 can think of is to rely on the 6th Army fighter jets on the Marshall Islands to help kill the US Navy fleet.
The feasibility of his plan is very high, mainly relying on the 6th Army Air Force to contain the US Navy ’s fighter force, and then use the Navy ’s well-trained naval aviation to attack the US Navy and disrupt the US combat deployment. Then he relied on the battleship in his hand to cut into the US Navy fleet and achieved a decisive victory.
So while ordering the United Fleet to begin preparations for dispatch, Yamamoto grabbed the phone in his hand and ordered the subordinates to send a telegram requesting the reinforcement of the Australian Army 6 Army Command in the Marshall Islands.
However, when Yamamoto fifty-six boarded his flagship, the battleship of the Japanese joint fleet captain, and was talking with Furuyu Fano Sao how to attack the US fleet in chaos, he got a response from the 6th army. Fifty-six Yamamoto almost spit out blood.
It turned out that as early as a dozen days ago, the 6th Army had transferred most of the combat power they could find in order to expand into India. The 6th Army fighter jets in the Australian theater were transferred by almost one third, and there was really no redundant support. Navy battle.
The plan to attack India was criticized by the Japanese navy from the beginning, but in the end it was still unexpected that the 6th Army had gone so far as to go so far as to directly set aside the navy and carried out this huge offensive plan, which began in March. Attack on the Imphal region of India.
This battle is still in progress. The 6th Army claimed that its offensive was like a broken bamboo, and Yamamoto was not good at the time of 561. It is not good to comment on this battle in far southeast Asia, but this battle made the Japanese army in the Pacific. It is indeed an indisputable fact that the military strength is weakened. These six aviation troops were transferred, but it is an important reason for Yamamoto to linger in the Marshall Islands.
But now that the 6th Army Air Force cover near the Marshall Islands has become a luxury, then a decisive battle with the US fleet in the Marshall Islands has become a joke. If the Japanese joint fleet can win, what do you want to shrink in Marshall? Would n’t it just kill the US Navy?
Fifty-six Yamamoto stood on the deck of the battleship Nagato and shivered with anger. His elaborate Marshall strategy to lure enemies to the decisive battle was turned into a bubble because of the departure of the 6th Army Aviation. Fortunately, Yamamoto's concentration is amazing, and it is estimated that he has begun to yell at others.
The news is not completely blocked at any time, especially in Japan, the navy has problems with the 6th Army to help propaganda, or the 6th Army has a joke. The Navy helps gossip. It is not uncommon to see the 6th Army in the Marshall Islands. During the Battle of Imphal in India, there were many jokes that made people cry.
The offensive troops drove the flock and the herd, rode their bicycles, carried the rations for a few days, carried a rifle, and came out with a small amount of ammunition. Their slogan was "Slap Impal, sit "Eating Mountbatten", the 31 division responsible for the attack did not even complete the basic combat preparation, and was forced to leave.
The command of the 15th army commander, General Mu Tianguo, who is in charge of front-line operations, was: "You can't fight without supplies? How can that be done! The Japanese army can endure any hardships and difficulties. No food can be taken from the enemy." . I do n’t believe we will be worse than the navy cowards! "
The combat plan drawn up with this attitude is simply terrible in the eyes of the experts. The Japanese 6th Army did not assess the Chinese Expeditionary Force who insisted on fighting in northern Myanmar, nor did it take into account the resistance of the British army. It seems from the mouth that the squadron is vulnerable, and the British troops in India are more like chickens and dogs. As long as his troops drive past, these troops will collapse and surrender.
But Mu Tiankou's men are not so optimistic. Many people think that this is an unbeatable battle. Many soldiers in the army pessimistically think that they are going to die.
Before crossing the Chinton River, the pessimistic opponents of the chief of the 31st Division of the 6th Army, Sato, warned: "Everyone, we will start crossing the Chinton River tonight. Before that, I have something to explain to you. Please listen carefully! As long as there is no miracle, your lives will be lost in the upcoming battle. But, not under the bullets, most of you will starve to death in the Arakan Mountains. Please be mentally prepared! "
Of course, Yamamoto doesn't know about these things now. He is still angry about the transfer of aviation from the 6th Army. In the end, the 56-year-old Yamamoto issued an order to withdraw the whole army, dropped the 30,000 Japanese troops stationed on the Marshall Islands, and retreated to the Solomon Islands behind the Marshall Islands with the joint fleet.
"Now that you have done so absolutely! Then don't blame me Yamamoto 56 to keep your 6 army as the back of the navy! The entire fleet of the combined fleet withdrew to Solomon, and the two destroyers Xuefeng and Shiyu were included in the rear of the palace. "16 Destroyer Fleet and 27th Destroyer Fleet" This was the last sentence that Yamamoto Fifty-six said before he fell ill, and then the navy marshal fainted in his post.
The joint fleet that lost the main pillar of Fifty-six Yamamoto fled in vain, and after losing the two destroyers in the rear of the palace, he reluctantly retreated to the Solomon Islands. After the soldiers and horses were ordered, the snow wind and the rain were still there. In addition to the two destroyers, the poor 16th and 27th destroyers were wiped out.
This battle gave all the advantages of the Japanese navy destroyer fleet in the previous Marshall Islands patrol encounter to the US Navy. The two sides lost the destroyer, and the Japanese navy came later. The total number of shipwrecks passed by this battle. In the most reluctant war of attrition, the US Navy and the Japanese Joint Fleet suffered even more losses than the US Navy.
Such an intolerable thing was actually born in such a real way. Just as Yamamoto calculated that when a Japanese destroyer had to change at least a few American destroyers, the Japanese Navy gave him the answer, which was average. The loss of 1.1 Japanese destroyers can sink 1 American destroyer ...
Time did not stand on the Japanese side, and now it seems that luck does not stand on the Japanese side. Fifty-six Yamamoto is now in no mood to fight the U.S. Navy because he now has to face the fact that he retreats to the Solomon Islands without permission and after giving up the Marshall, the letter of the 6th Army's complaint flew to the base camp like snow flakes.
The Japanese Navy's joint fleet is bleak at this moment. As the saying goes, the bird is dying, and its song is also mourning.
