Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

William Frederick Halsey Jr., nicknamed "Bull", came from a military family. Many members of his family served in the U.S. Navy. His father graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1873 and was awarded the rank of Navy Captain.

After graduating from high school, Halsey failed to enter the U.S. Naval Academy and entered the University of Virginia to study medicine. Because Halsey's mother repeatedly pleaded with then U.S. President William McKinley, Halsey was recommended and transferred to the U.S. Navy.

College.

While in school, Halsey's grades were mediocre, but he was very lucky. Before World War I, Halsey was assigned to command the destroyer "Fruse", and he and Franklin, who was also in charge of sea area surveying on this warship,

·Roosevelt forged a deep friendship.

Before the outbreak of the war, Halsey was promoted to vice admiral and commander of the aircraft carrier task force, commanding all aircraft carriers under the Pacific Fleet.

In the Pearl Harbor incident, all the aircraft carriers led by Halsey miraculously escaped without suffering any losses, which is a miracle in human military history.

At the end of February, Halsey led three aircraft carriers, including the "Enterprise", "Yorktown", and "Hornet", and more than ten other U.S. Navy ships to Guam, and joined the main force of the Indian Ocean Fleet led by Tang Li.

Work together to respond to the combined fleet's attack.

The "Enterprise", the "Yorktown" and the "Hornet" are all "Yorktown" class aircraft carriers built by the United States after the Brazilian Civil War. This class of aircraft carrier is a reduced version of the "City" class aircraft carrier, with a carrying capacity of 80

It is the current main aircraft carrier of the U.S. Navy.

Compared with the task force led by Halsey, the Indian Ocean Fleet led by Tang Li is more powerful. The three "Island" class aircraft carriers and two "City" class aircraft carriers can carry more than 600 aircraft in total, and there are

With the cooperation of the army aviation units stationed on the island, Tang Li believed that if the combined fleet entered the strike circle, there would be no return.

After arriving in Guam, Halsey called on the U.S. military to boost morale: Kill the Japs! Kill the Japs! Kill more Japs!

Halsey's statement was deeply loved by Tang Li. Since the war broke out, Tang Li had repeatedly declared that he would overthrow the Japanese mainland, which coincided with Halsey's.

In the entire Mariana Islands, only Guam can dock dozens of large warships at the same time. All aircraft carriers of the coalition are parked in the port, which worries Halcillo.

Since the outbreak of the war, there have been many cases of warships being attacked in military ports.

The U.S. Pacific Fleet was also the biggest victim of the raid.

All this has to make Halsey be more vigilant...

"Don't worry, there are more than ten destroyers and submarines patrolling inside and outside our port at any time. We have carefully deployed mine arrays at the entrance, and there are also three anti-submarine nets. Unless the Japanese fly over from the sky - but everything in the sky

No flying object can escape the radar warning." Tang Li is confident in the port's defense work, which is the responsibility of the Southern African Marine Corps.

The Southern African navy had just raided Manila, so how could it make such a stupid mistake?

There is no need to doubt that the militaries around the world who are keen on confrontation training must be the Southern African army. Even in peacetime, the Southern African Ministry of Defense will often organize confrontation training between various arms.

Raiding ports is not uncommon for the Southern African Navy. It is a daily training subject of the Southern African Navy. In previous exercises, there have been many successful cases of Marine Corps and airborne troops teaming up to launch raids on military ports.

Speaking of airborne troops, not long ago, the 4th Airborne Division in Southern Africa successfully carried out an airborne landing at Liner Pawa on the Malay Peninsula, cutting off the retreat of the Japanese Second Division and once again surrounding the Japanese Second Division.

The Second Division was founded in 1873. It was one of the first six towns established by the Japanese army and was called the Sendai Division.

This division has a long history and has participated in a series of modern Japanese wars such as the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, and the July 7th Incident, and has made outstanding achievements.

Last year, the Second Division was incorporated into Japan's Southern Army and became Yamashita's ace unit.

The Second Division is also the last reserve in the hands of Yamashita Fengfumi. If the Second Division is annihilated, it will mean the complete defeat of the Japanese army in the Malay Peninsula Campaign.

"The Japanese are extremely arrogant, cruel and crazy. We cannot have any illusions about the Japanese." Halsey was determined to avenge the fallen officers and soldiers of the Pacific Fleet without taking any prisoners.

"We are launching counterattacks against the Japanese on multiple battlefields in the Southeast Asian theater at the same time. It is difficult for the Japanese to enter our defense circle now, so why not have a good sleep. Lieutenant General, you need to rest now." Tang Li said to Ha.

Elsie's health is very worrying.

You can choose the wrong name, but you can't choose the wrong nickname. Halsey is a real "bull". He has a fierce face and is always ready to duel with his opponent. Whenever he looks at someone, Halsey's eyes are cold and determined, which makes people laugh.

People shudder.

Tang Li's temperament has changed with the continuous improvement of his position. Now Tang Li's personality has become much more restrained, and his body has gained some weight. He looks like a harmless Maitreya Buddha.

However, only those who are familiar with Tang Li know that Tang Li is very scary once he gets angry.

After Tang Li arrived in the Mariana Islands, he immediately centralized management of all Japanese living in the Mariana Islands, which seriously violated the relevant regulations in southern Africa.

During the two world wars, southern Africa never angered the related groups who had immigrated to southern Africa and adopted southern African nationality because of the war.

This is unbelievable nowadays. There are still many German concentration camps in the UK.

There are more concentration camps for Japanese Americans in the United States. After the Pearl Harbor incident, the Japanese were beaten by Americans and imprisoned in concentration camps for intensive management.

Of course, compared with Japanese prisoner-of-war camps, American concentration camps were much milder. At least the Japanese in the concentration camps had food to eat.

Not so in southern Africa.

This has a lot to do with the actual situation in southern Africa.

Very few Japanese men can join Southern Africa. Most of the Japanese who have taken Southern African citizenship are women who immigrated to Southern Africa through intermarriage.

These Japanese women have a somewhat vague attitude towards the country, and they don't have much affection for Japan. They regard themselves as pure southern Africans.

Statistics show that after the war broke out, the proportion of war donations from Japanese families was very high. Among all ethnic groups in southern Africa, Chinese were the only ones. Japanese people after joining southern Africa were rarely bribed by Japanese intelligence agencies.

Many people don't know that the people most easily bribed by Japanese intelligence agencies are British people. The federal government of Southern Africa does not disclose this.

"Don, how can I sleep? If I could, I would launch an attack on the Japanese mainland right now." Halsey is worthy of being a bull. When he speaks, his nose will expand, as if he will blow out two puffs of smoke at any time.

.

So although Halsey was acting very angry now, Tang Li still couldn't feel Halsey's anger, and even wanted to laugh a little bit.

At this time, Guam was actually under the jurisdiction of Southern Africa and the United Kingdom.

Until now, Guam is the headquarters of the Pacific Fleet, but the main force of the Pacific Fleet is not in Guam but in Pearl Harbor. This shows that the US government is also very vigilant towards Japan.

After the Pearl Harbor incident broke out, the United States almost abandoned Guam, leaving only one battalion of less than 500 U.S. troops stationed in Guam.

Like the Changi Naval Base during the British rule, although the United States has complete port facilities in Guam, because Guam is too close to the Japanese mainland, the U.S. government does not even dare to deploy the main force of the Pacific Fleet in Guam, and is very wary of the Japanese.

high.

After Halsey came to Guam, he said the famous sentence to the US military stationed in Guam: Kill the Japs! Kill the Japs! Kill more Japs!

Not far from Halsey and Tang Li, a patrol of Southern African Marines was patrolling the dock.

Americans are as wealthy as southern Africa. Guam's natural conditions are very good, and its port facilities are also very complete. There are searchlights everywhere on the pier, and there are street lights after nightfall. It is one of the most advanced ports in the Pacific. Americans

But even warships did not dare to enter.

"Don't worry, you'll be busy after the Japanese come." Tang Li raised his hand to look at his watch. The time was two-thirty in the afternoon.

1,500 kilometers away on the sea, Yamamoto Isoroku was sitting on the bridge of the battleship "Nagato", playing with a gold pocket watch.

Yamamoto Isoroku did not choose the most powerful "Yamato" as his flagship, but chose "Nagato". This is Yamamoto Isoroku's habit.

In front of Yamamoto Isoroku is a huge and exquisite sand table, with Guam in the center.

Yamamoto Isoroku frowned. The combined fleet was powerful. However, Yamamoto Isoroku did not have much confidence and even felt a little pessimistic. The combined fleet sank and damaged all the battleships of the Pacific Fleet, but all three aircraft carriers escaped. Now the Pacific Fleet

After making a comeback, the combined fleet's strength was greatly reduced due to the damage to "Akagi" and "Canglong".

"Akagi" and "Soryu" were not completely sunk, and are still sinking in the Manila port, but Yamamoto Isoroku had to give up, which made Yamamoto Isoroku very heartbroken.

If possible, Yamamoto Isoroku would rather stick to the Japanese mainland and wait for the combined fleets from southern Africa and the United States to launch an attack, so that the combined fleets can also rely on land aviation aircraft to maneuver.

The reality is extremely cruel. Allied bombers taking off from the Mariana Islands Airport can directly bomb the Japanese mainland. With the capabilities of Southern Africa and the United States, the bomber forces can bomb the Japanese mainland into nothingness even without committing ground troops. Yamamoto Isoroku cannot do so.

Don't attack.

The only thing Yamamoto Isoroku can pray for now is that the combined fleet can successfully reach the offshore waters of Guam.

This is obviously impossible. The main ships of the Combined Fleet are out in full force. There are more than 400 ships of various types in total. Not only are there Allied submarines under the sea, but there are also ubiquitous reconnaissance aircraft in the air. The Combined Fleet is not fast. It is obvious that luck is not there.

The Japanese side.

Once discovered by the Allies, overwhelming bombers will soon swarm in. Both sides know the strengths and weaknesses of themselves and their opponents. The combined fleet hopes to get as close as possible to southern Africa and the fragile aircraft carriers of the United States. The Allies must

Keep a distance from the Combined Fleet. Once approached by a Combined Fleet battleship, the Allied aircraft carrier will be very dangerous.

But getting close is not easy.

In Manila, Isoroku Yamamoto had already seen the combat effectiveness of the Southern African Air Force. The overwhelming number of fighter planes was simply disappointing. Not only were they numerous, but their performance was superior. Even if Yamamoto Isoroku dispatched Japan's most advanced "Zero" fighter planes, they would still be powerless.

To save the situation, Yamamoto Isoroku began to waver about the prospect of war for the first time.

"The latest information is that there are at least 8 Allied aircraft carriers within the Mariana Islands, including the Army Aviation Force. Our opponents may have more than 1,000 fighters." Nagato battleship Captain Yano Hideo forwarded the latest information. This

The information was sent a little late. After the fleet set off, the radio remained silent and could only receive but not send.

Yamamoto Isoroku's expression did not fluctuate at all, the speed of his pocket watch flying on his fingertips was not affected, and there was no turning back when he fired his bow. Even if there were 10,000 fighter jets in Guam, the combined fleet could only go all the way to the dark side.

"Keep going -" Yamamoto Isoroku opened his pocket watch and looked at the time. It was now 3:10 pm.

The weather was not good at this time, with dark clouds in the sky and very low cloud levels.

A seaplane belonging to the U.S. Pacific Fleet suddenly penetrated the clouds and appeared above the Combined Fleet.

The pilot was stunned by the spectacular scene in front of him. The sea was densely packed with Japanese warships, such as "Yamato", "Nagato", "Mutsu" and so on. Almost all the battleships in service in the combined fleet were among them.

"Turn around quickly, turn around quickly -" the co-pilot's voice was trembling, as Japanese fighter jets had already taken off from the aircraft carrier.

The pilot did not turn around, but desperately tried to pull the plane up and back into the clouds. This was the correct way to escape.

The communications officer in the cabin immediately sent a telegram to Guam. Even if he died, his death would be worthwhile.

The fighter jet the Japanese took off was the "Zero". Although its performance was not as good as the "Cheetah" in southern Africa, it was much better than the seaplane.

Two "Zeros" quickly approached the seaplane trying to get into the clouds, and one "Zero" suddenly opened fire at a distance of 400 meters from the seaplane.

The pilots who are qualified to fly the "Zero" must be elites in the military. It is not difficult to fly a heavy seaplane at a distance of 400 meters.

The 7.7mm aviation machine gun bullet damaged the wing of the seaplane and tore open the belly of the seaplane at the same time.

The seaplane suddenly fell from the sky like a swan with its neck broken, accompanied by a huge plume of black smoke.

This was the first seaplane lost by the Allies in the Battle of Guam.

It's also the only one.

Next it was the turn of the real fighter planes to appear. The seaplane successfully sent a warning to the fleet before being shot down. It had completed its mission and the three pilots died.
