Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

For a period of time, the media in Southern Africa also promoted the "Japanese threat theory", especially after Japan began to build the "Yamato".

At that time, "The Times" described the situation as serious enough that the Japanese navy could almost take on the world alone. Aircraft carriers and G7s were all scum in front of "Yamato", and they were not enough for "Yamato" to defeat them with one shot.

This is definitely an exaggeration, but it is necessary.

Not only in southern Africa, media in other countries have also followed suit.

If you don't say that, how can the military ask Congress for money? Don't look at the Southern African officials shouting that we love peace every day. In fact, everyone knows that peace only exists within the range of naval guns.

This statement is outdated. Peace now only exists within the range of carrier-based aircraft.

Generally speaking, Japan's ship design is still far behind the established European and American powers.

This is not to flatter Europe and the United States. There is also a gap between southern Africa and the United Kingdom in the design of battleships.

However, compared with Japan, the smartest thing about Southern Africa is that it does not develop battleships at all, but uses all resources on aircraft carriers, so the gap gradually widens...

The Japanese are very fond of success, but they have no self-awareness. The result of wanting everything is that nothing works. Neither battleships nor aircraft carriers have done their best.

Moreover, Japan's national power is limited and it does not have the capital to keep pace with battleships and aircraft carriers. It is as powerful as southern Africa and it still knows how to exploit its strengths and avoid weaknesses. The Japanese are like greedy pigs. Their stomachs are bursting and they keep eating without caring.

Everything that comes into your mouth is what you eat.

The sinking of the "Shokaku" completely destroyed Chuichi Nagumo's will to fight. Here, the Japanese's arrogant self-esteem must be pulled out and whipped to death.

Before the combined fleet went to Manila, it held a combat exercise to simulate combat with the Indian Ocean Navy in southern Africa.

At that time, the Combined Fleet had just successfully attacked Pearl Harbor, and everyone was immersed in unreasonable ecstasy from top to bottom.

In this exercise, the fleet led by Nagumo Chuichi suffered a devastating blow from the Southern African Air Force in the first stage of the battle with the Indian Ocean Fleet. The combined fleet suffered heavy losses and was attacked 9 times by the Southern African Air Force. Two ships

The aircraft carrier was sunk.

This result is relatively normal. Even Yamamoto Isoroku admitted that there is a huge gap between the Japanese Navy and the Southern African Navy in terms of aircraft carriers. This result is normal.

Then the Japanese's magical operation came.

Rear Admiral Ugaki, who presided over the exercise, changed the number from nine to three, and the losses of the combined fleet were reduced to one ship being sunk and the other slightly damaged.

This sunk aircraft carrier appeared again in the next phase of the battle for unknown reasons, and it also played a role in determining the outcome.

Tang Li would be very angry if he participated in the exercise.

Considering the strength of the Southern African Navy, 9 attacks is too small to underestimate the Southern African Navy. 90 attacks is about the same.

And only two aircraft carriers were sunk in 9 attacks. Who are you looking down on?

After all, an exercise is an exercise. The Japanese are used to gathering data when their strength is insufficient. It is the same from top to bottom.

On the battlefield of reaction, the results are devastating.

Captain Best sank the "Xianghe" with a bomb, and the news came back to the command headquarters in a state of excitement.

This is the first joint operation between the Southern African Navy and the U.S. Navy.

In the recent Brazilian Civil War, southern Africa and the United States were rivals. The Americans suffered a big loss that time. Miraculously, the Americans did not retaliate afterwards.

Here's thanks to the capital of Southern Africa in the United States.

Especially the American media under the control of Southern Africa.

As mentioned before, the people are irrational and public opinion can guide them.

After the end of the Brazilian Civil War, the American public was excited, but the American media was reflecting on it.

Reflect on the meaning of the war, reflect on whether the saying "America is the America of Americans" is reasonable, and whether it is worth it for Americans to go thousands of miles away and shed their blood and sacrifice for a poisonous government that is rotten from top to bottom.

Public opinion completely reversed overnight.

At this time, the media began to promote the friendship between the United States and South Africa. After all, during the last world war, Southern Africa and the United States fought side by side, and both countries were committed to breaking the conspiracy of a certain feudal group to rule the world. In the mouth of the American media, Southern Africa

There is no fundamental conflict of interest with the United States. On the contrary, there are countless common interests. The two countries should join hands to build a better tomorrow instead of fighting over petty gains.

The media can talk nonsense, but the US military has a more pragmatic attitude.

In fact, the outcome of the Brazilian Civil War was normal. Since the end of the last world war, the United States has abolished its entire army. Before the outbreak of the Brazilian Civil War, a tragic incident occurred in Washington where veterans of World War I were asking for wages, but were brutally suppressed by the U.S. government.

, which sowed the seeds of failure for the expedition to Brazil.

Now the U.S. Navy is once again joining forces with the Southern African Navy to fight, and both sides are actually holding their breath to prove themselves.

The Southern African Navy wants to prove that even without battleships, the Southern African Navy is still the most powerful fleet in the world.

The U.S. Navy wants to prove that the failure of the Brazilian Civil War was not because the U.S. Navy was incompetent, but because away operations were too limited and the enemy was too insidious.

So when the news that Captain Best had sunk the "Shokaku" with a bomb was sent back to the command headquarters, all the American officers in the command post were happy and excited, but the southern African officers were unhappy.

Including Tang Li.

"Don, the Japanese have lost half of their aircraft carriers, and we are about to win this war." Halsey was as excited as a bull that has defeated a matador, and his nose was enlarged.

"Believe me, this is not the end yet. We cannot let any Japanese return to Wujun Port safely." Tang Liyi left the remaining troops to chase the enemy. The two main Japanese fleets have now lost their air protection. If we don't take the opportunity to eliminate them, they will still have to go.

Wait until when.

Yamamoto Isoroku made a big mistake when formulating the battle plan. The Japanese Combined Fleet was already insufficient in strength when facing the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet. Yamamoto Isoroku also used a trick to divide the forces into four groups, resulting in serious dispersion of forces.

In addition to the main fleet led by Yamamoto Isoroku and the aircraft carrier led by Nagumo Chuichi, the combined fleet also has two squadrons, namely the transport fleet and the advance formation.

Gudai/span> Now these two squadrons have been discovered by the coalition forces, but Tang Li and Halsey have no time to deal with them. The task of destroying these two squadrons is left to the shore-based aviation force. Tang Li and Halsey will All energy was put on destroying the Japanese main fleet.

"Yes, give the order to Colonel Elliott, our boys must continue to attack." Halsey kept up his efforts, and all the grudges in his heart were now gone.

Colonel Elliott is the captain of the aircraft carrier "Yorktown" and the commander of the US military aircraft carrier force.

After discovering the Japanese main fleet led by Isoroku Yamamoto, the three aircraft carriers sent by Tang Li to fight were all affiliated with the Indian Ocean Fleet. The aircraft carriers of the Pacific Fleet did not get the chance to participate in the battle.

Halsey was very lucky at that time, because everyone knew that once an aircraft carrier was approached by a battleship, the outcome would be extremely tragic.

The Combined Fleet has been boasting for so many years, even if it has no record, it can still be boasted as a world-class one, not to mention that the Combined Fleet itself is indeed very powerful.

What Halsey never expected was that a main fleet without mixed aircraft carriers was a joke. Not long after the battle began, two battleships were sunk, and one of them was the famous "Mutsu".

"Mutsu"

Well, "Mutsu" is also a tragedy, just like "Yamato".

When the Japanese were building the "Nagato" class battleship, in order to surprise other countries in the future, they deliberately concealed the caliber of the main gun of the "Nagato" class battleship.

Now the surprise is gone. At this point in the battle, all Japanese battleships' main guns have not fired a single shot, and their anti-aircraft weapons are busy.

The crux of the problem is that the arrogant Japanese have seriously not paid enough attention to air defense. The air defense weapons installed on warships are far from enough and cannot prevent the overwhelming Allied fighter planes. The two weaknesses together are not a negative but a positive. It's one plus one equals three.

In fact, the information received by the headquarters was incorrect. The "Mutsu" had indeed capsized, but it had not sunk yet. The Japanese sailors trapped in the "Mutsu" were still working hard to escape from the "Mutsu".

Tang Li didn't need to give orders. Captain Best's entrance into the soul was the best stimulus to the pilots in southern Africa. By now in the battle, both the "Flying Dragon" and the "Xianghe" had been sunk, leaving only The chances of the "Canglong" and "Zuihe" are running out.

"Canglong" and "Zuihe" are also in bad shape now.

"Sangryu" is relatively lucky. It has not been hit since the beginning of the battle. However, it has lost all its carrier-based fighters. There are only four 97 carriers that can carry bombs into the air. The commander of the team, Yamaguchi Tawen, said: The major general was so heartbroken that he was ready to die in battle with the "Canglong".

The "Zuihe" was unlucky. Not long after the battle broke out, it was hit by an aerial bomb. Fortunately, the aerial bomb was only 50 kilograms, and the damage caused was not great. The fire was quickly extinguished. After replacing the damaged

After the wooden flight deck was installed, the "Zuikaku" regained its combat effectiveness.

The restored combat effectiveness of "Zuihe" did not change the outcome of the battle, but instead became a key target for Allied pilots.

At this time, the aviation formation suffered heavy losses, the air defense firepower was full of loopholes, and the wind direction was unfavorable, so the carrier-based fighter jets on the "Ziikaku" were unable to take off smoothly.

When an aircraft carrier is operating at sea, it has very high requirements for wind direction and wind speed. If the wind direction is unfavorable or the wind speed is not enough, the carrier-based aircraft will not be able to take off.

The captain of the "Zuikaku", Colonel Yokokawa Ichihira, made a wrong decision at this time. In order to take off the fighter plane smoothly, the "Zuihe" increased its speed and sailed into the wind, gradually separated from the formation, and lost the protection of the formation's anti-aircraft firepower.

This made the torpedo plane squadron leader Xue Ming who took off from the "Transvaal" overjoyed. He immediately called for more torpedo planes for support and led six torpedo planes to attack the "Ruihe".

Although the powerful "Sea Harrier" carries a heavy torpedo on its belly, it is still as light as a seagull and glides across the sea in a graceful manner.

It was already evening at this time, the sun was setting in the west, the sunset was like blood, and the sea water was not pure dark blue, but many colors intertwined together.

The silver-white fuselage of the "Sea Harrier" flew close to the sea. Seagulls flew past the cockpit. Dolphins jumped out of the water on the sea below. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke. The pilots' excited voices came from the headphones.

The shouts, the fire chain composed of tracer bullets were extremely eye-catching in the gradually darkening environment, and the anti-aircraft shells flashed like fireworks in the sky. None of these could stop the pilots from their determination to attack the "Zuihe".

After entering the attack range, Xue Ming was the first to launch a torpedo. The fuselage drew a wonderful arc and flew past the towering island of "Ruihe".

The other pilots were also highly skilled. The sailors operating the anti-aircraft weapons on the "Zuihe" tried their best, but not a single "Sea Harrier" was shot down, or even damaged.

So "Ruihe" became a tragedy.

Five of the torpedoes launched by the six "Sea Harriers" directly hit the "Ruihe". The explosion was earth-shattering, and the sea water was stirred up to a height of tens of meters. One 97 ship attack that had not yet taken off fell directly into the sea, and another

The 97 Fleet Attack that was accelerating on the deck lost control and collided with two 97 Fleet Attacks that were preparing to take off. The three 97 Fleet Attacks slid into the sea together and were detonated by the full load of aviation fuel before they fell into the water.

Xue Ming, who fired the torpedo, did not rush to return, but flew the "Sea Harrier" around the "Ruihe" again. It was not until the "Ruihe" began to capsize that Xue Ming left with satisfaction.

This made the other torpedo plane pilots who arrived later very angry.

You've already sunk the "Ruihe", why did you call us here?

Wait, "Ruihe" hasn't sunk yet, so we must add fire.

More torpedo plane pilots shifted their targets to the only remaining "Soryu".

"Canglong" and the sunk "Flying Dragon" both belong to the "Canglong" class. In fact, because "Flying Dragon" has undergone major changes, "Canglong" is a little smaller than Feilong.

"Canglong" has a full load displacement of 19,500 tons, a crew of 1,103, and can carry 73 fighters.

The "Sanglong", which had lost all its carrier-based fighter jets, had lost its attack capability. Although it still had torpedo planes, it had no target to attack, and the entire ship was destroyed.

Seeing that the "Ziikaku" was also sunk and the "Soryu" became the only remaining aircraft carrier of the combined fleet, Nagumo Chuichi had already ordered the fleet to abandon the mission and return home. The "Soryu" ran at full power and ran towards Wujun Port.

The maximum speed of "Canglong" can reach 34.5 knots.

The two battleships "Haruna" and "Kirishima" attached to the aviation fleet are both "Kongo" class battleships, with a maximum speed of only 30 knots.

The aviation fleet is also equipped with supply ships and transport ships, both of which are slower, with a maximum speed of no more than 25 knots.

So after the order to retreat was given, the distance between the ships of the air fleet began to lose track, and the fleet's air defense network, which was already full of loopholes, suddenly looked like a dam that had burst.

The Allied pilots will not miss the opportunity, just like Tang Li said: Don't let any Japanese escape. To provide you with the fastest update, 2217 Don't let any Japanese escape free reading.
