Take Taobao to fight against Japan

After just a few days of preparation and mobilization, the Myanmar theater once again started the rampage mode and launched large-scale military operations.

The three armies moved ahead without using food and grass, and the Huben Air Force, as the vanguard of the war, was naturally the first to start.

In the first place, the Air Force greatly increased its air strikes against important targets such as Japanese defensive fortresses, military airports, ports, and military industrial enterprises in Japanese-occupied areas, and dispatched thousands of combat aircraft sorties every day.

At the same time, the army formed dozens of elite troops, went deep into the mountains on the Thai-Myanmar border, launched special operations against the Japanese defense area, and turned into groups of frightening jungle killers.

With the launch of a large-scale military offensive, the Japanese-Myanmar dispatched army, which has been entrenched in Thailand, is instantly confronted with a big enemy. At one time, they thought that the Huben Army was going to do things in Southeast Asia, and they became trembling from top to bottom, and there was no more The same lightheartedness and idleness as before.

After receiving the relevant information, the Japanese base camp was also made nervous and did not dare to be careless at all, and issued several strict orders in succession, asking Hata Shun-roku to stick to strict precautions, and there must be no mistakes.

As for the "combat plan for dispatching troops from Burma to the Chinese battlefield", it was naturally stopped abruptly and put aside.

After all, the security of Southeast Asia is also a crucial link for Japan. There must be no mistakes, otherwise it will be the beginning of a catastrophe.

Japanese Combined Fleet Headquarters.

Yamamoto 56, Ugaki Tsunade, Kuroshima Kameto, Nagumo Tadaichi and many other senior Japanese navy generals gathered together at this moment. Everyone's faces were not very good-looking, and they were discussing the current Pacific War.

Since the Allied forces captured Midway Island in one fell swoop and severely consumed the aircraft carrier battle group of the Japanese Combined Fleet in the Battle of Midway Island, the Japanese Combined Fleet lost its ability to actively attack.

Now, they can only temporarily hide and defend in the Hawaiian Islands, relying on the protection of the land-based combat fleet to survive.

However, it is clear that it is impossible for the Allied fleet to be satisfied with the victory of the Battle of Midway and stop the attack.

In the following time, the Allied forces became more and more active on the Pacific battlefield. They not only vigorously built Midway Island to make it a solid offensive fulcrum, launched attacks on nearby islands, but also sent a large number of submarine forces to attack the supply lines of the Japanese islands. .

In the last month, the Allied forces have even extended their "devil claws" to the Hawaiian Islands. Under the protection of the Black Widow fighter jets, B-29 bombers have come to carry out large-scale bombing at night many times.

Naturally, the Japanese army tried their best. Both the ground air defense force and the Japanese Air Force fought back with all their might, and fought life and death again and again with the Allied bomber fleet.

In the past month, due to the crazy blocking of the Japanese ground artillery and fighter jets, the Allied air raid fleet did pay a heavy price. 31 heavy 8-29s and more than [-] Black Widow night fighters were shot down. .

But at the same time, the continuous large-scale air strikes by the Allied forces also caused extremely serious losses to the Japanese army. Not only the airports, factories, hospitals, docks, barracks, fortifications and other surface buildings on the island were severely damaged.

Not only the aircraft was severely damaged, but even the Japanese fleet docked in various ports also suffered considerable damage.

These days, Yamamoto 56 and other naval generals dare not sleep in surface buildings at all at night, and can only sleep more securely by hiding in underground air-raid shelters.

As for the ghost soldiers who were sticking to the various defense areas, they were helplessly reversed by jet lag, and they often dared to sneak a sleep during the day.

Because the Allied bomber fleet would visit at least once every night, amidst the sharp anti-aircraft sirens and the continuous sound of artillery and explosions, they simply could not sleep at ease.

As for the ghost soldiers who were performing ground air defense missions and taking off to meet the enemy, the night was turned upside down, and the time difference was completely messed up.

After a long time, the ghost soldiers stationed in the Hawaiian Islands were all listless, nervous, and their morale continued to decline.

At the same time, due to the break-off operation by Allied submarines, the supply line of the Hawaiian Islands, which is isolated in the Pacific Ocean, became more and more difficult. Dozens of transport ships of various types were bombed and sunk.

For this reason, the Japanese Combined Fleet had to organize a powerful convoy fleet to travel back and forth across the vast ocean.

"The topic of discussion today is still, what should the Imperial Japanese Navy do next to change the current extremely unfavorable passive situation."

After some opening remarks, Yamamoto 56 said in a deep voice, "It doesn't matter which faction you advocate, the important thing is that we must work together to deal with the current crisis. If we can't find a solution as soon as possible , the situation in the Pacific battlefield will only get worse!"

As the leader of the navy, Yamamoto 56 knew the consequences of fighting the United States from the very beginning, because when he was studying in the United States in the early days, he knew the strength of the United States clearly.

Yamamoto 56 deeply knows that if it cannot carry out landing operations on the mainland of the United States, it will definitely face the situation it is today, but there is no other way now, and it can only rack its brains to actively deal with it.

Yamamoto, who has been in the military and political fields for a long time, is unique in employing people. Although he is not a politician, he is very political.

Yamamoto 56 is a treaty faction, but in his opinion, the treaty faction, the fleet faction, the aviation main force faction, and the big ship and cannon faction are all Japanese soldiers.

For example, Nagumo Tadaichi, the main force of the Fleet Faction, Fukuru Shigeru of the Fleet Giant Cannon Faction, has always been reused, and Onishi Takijiro, the main aviation faction, is also very useful, and finally he was promoted to the Deputy Chief of the Military Command.

You must know that if Onishi Takijiro, who did not have a university degree, was in the army, he would not even be able to enter the gate of the General Staff Headquarters.

This approach fully shows that Yamamoto's employment is not based solely on qualifications, but on the combination of personal strengths.

Therefore, Yamamoto's various talented people gathered together, and the Japanese combined fleet was able to achieve a series of brilliant victories, and occupied the Pacific Ocean for a long time. Until now, it has gradually weakened due to the war of attrition.

However, there is a saying that "a clever woman can't cook without rice", even if Yamamoto's men are full of talents, there is no shortage of all kinds of ghosts, but they really don't have many ways to solve the majestic conspiracy of the Allied forces.

Chapter 1525 Space for Time

After a long while of silence, Heidao Turtleman took the lead to break the silence and said: "Your Excellency, the best defense is to attack, if we keep defending, we will only be defeated one by one.

Therefore, Beizhi believes that the most urgent task is to form a powerful sea and air mobile force, and then use appropriate intelligence measures to capture the targets of the US military's operations in advance, and give them a devastating blow before the US attacking forces reach their destination. "

Yamamoto 56 raised his brows and said: "Although that is the case, it is not so easy to realize. Although the United Fleet of the Great Japanese Empire has the most powerful battleship battle group, the Allied Forces will not give the Imperial Fleet a chance to face-to-face confrontation.

And it will take a long time for the Imperial Aircraft Carrier Battlegroup to re-develop and grow to a certain level! "

Kuroshima Kameto said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, do you still remember how the US Pacific Fleet grew again under the extreme oppression of the United Fleet of the Great Japanese Empire?"

Hearing this, Yamamoto 56's eyes brightened slightly and said: "Kuroshima-kun, do you mean to temporarily abandon the duel with the US fleet, and instead withdraw the main force of the combined fleet, and then rely on land-based combat aircraft fleets and coastal defense fortifications to fight for consumption? "

"Hay!"

Turtleman Kuroshima nodded and said, "This island is too far away from the mainland of the Great Japanese Empire. If it was in the past, it would be fine. After all, at that time, the Great Japanese Empire held absolute sea dominance in the Pacific Ocean. You don't have to worry about being attacked on the supply line, even if it is during the shipping process. It itself consumes a lot of oil resources, and the Empire of Japan can afford it.

But now, the Allied submarine forces are frequently attacking the shipping line, causing the Empire of Japan to continue to suffer heavy losses.

The target of the United Fleet is too big, and it is easy to be violently bombed by the Allied Forces and continue to bleed, so it is better to keep only the necessary mobile fleet to coordinate defense, and the main fleet is temporarily placed in the Solomon Islands and other places to recuperate! "

At this time, Nagumo Tadaichi asked loudly: "Kuroshima-kun, if that is the case, wouldn't this place be dangerous? If this place is lost, the Allied Forces will greatly increase their control over the Pacific Ocean, which will be a huge challenge for the Empire of Japan." The beginning of a great disaster!"

Kuroshima Kameto immediately replied: "Mr. Nanyun, the Hawaiian Islands are not a small Midway Island. Here, the Empire of Japan has built a powerful fortification system and has a strong enough army. Even without the coordinated defense of the naval fleet , and will definitely be able to stick to it for a long time!"

As soon as Kuroshima Kameto's voice fell, Takasu Shiro objected in a dissatisfied tone: "At this critical moment in the Pacific battlefield, how can the United Fleet of the Great Japanese Empire back down? This is not only a waste of strategic resources, but also a waste of strategic resources. A great shame!"

Kuroshima Kameto frowned slightly and said: "Takasu-kun, if we continue to maintain the status quo according to your intention, will the United Fleet of the Empire of Japan be able to play a big role?

Do you think that with the main force of the United Fleet of the Empire of Japan still in existence, the Allied Forces would foolishly carry out landing operations directly?No, that is impossible! "

"The core strength of the current naval battle is already the aircraft carrier battle group. It is time for the United Fleet of the Empire of Japan to completely abandon the traditional thinking mode of battleship duels, because as long as the Allied Forces are not bad, they will never give us a chance for battleship duels!"

"They will only continue to consume our air defense force with more and more powerful air strikes. When we have no way to carry out effective air defense, their primary goal is to sink all our surface ships!"

"By that time, the United Fleet of the Great Japanese Empire will only become a bunch of targets to be slaughtered. Even the most powerful battleship will not be able to withstand the continuous bombing!"

Nagumo Takaichi said with a dark face: "According to Kuroshima-kun's intention, our combined fleet of the Great Japanese Empire will undoubtedly be defeated?"

"No, that's not what I meant!"

Hei Dao Turtle waved his hand and said, "I just want to say that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Since the United Fleet cannot face the Pacific Fleet in a decisive battle now, and it is difficult for the empire to fight a full-scale war of attrition, then we can only exchange space Time to gain more development time.

When we regain enough strength, we can take mobile operations and find good enough combat opportunities to recover the situation little by little. This is the only feasible way at present. "

Air Fleet Commander Onishi Takijiro nodded and said: "What Kuroshima-kun said is very true, the Hawaiian Islands are too far away from the mainland and Southeast Asia, and the long shipping line has always been a great burden for the Japanese Empire.

Conversely, the American shipping capacity exceeds ours by several times, they have no troubles in this regard at all, and can continuously transport various materials to Midway Island.

Therefore, it is an unwise choice for the Imperial Aviation Corps to compete with the Allies here. It is better to take a step back and put the fleet's duel location in the Solomon Islands close to the mainland and Southeast Asia.

In the coming days, as long as the Empire of Japan can learn from the pain and try its best to develop the aircraft carrier battle group, it will be enough to regain control of the sea and air in the Pacific battlefield within a year! "

Onishi Takijiro is an advocate of aviation victory, the founder of "Kamikaze", and is known as "Sura heretics" in Japanese military circles.

In naval construction, he has always strongly opposed the traditional doctrine of developing large ships and cannons, and advocated giving priority to the development of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft.

He opposed the construction of the Yamato battleship, thinking that the cost of building a Yamato battleship was enough to build 3000 aircraft, and he could use 3000 aircraft to blow up a dozen Yamatos to the bottom of the sea.

He had foreseen the advent of the independent era of the Air Force, and was the main author of the "Research on Aviation Armament" by the Japanese Army Command.

Until now, the Japanese navy has finally been "woke up", and Takijiro Onishi naturally spared no effort in advocating that all the focus be shifted to the aircraft carrier battle group.

"Yeah, a little patience can lead to big plans! Fighting consumption with the United States, which has a strong industrial strength, really needs to pay attention to strategy, and you can't just do it blindly!"

The more Yamamoto 56 listened to it, the more he felt it made sense. According to the current war trend, he could only take a step back. It was really inappropriate to use refueling tactics and consume all precious resources here.

Woo~woo~woo~

"Nani, what's going on?"

However, just when Yamamoto 56 was thinking about expressing his opinion, a sharp air defense siren suddenly sounded outside the house.

Without letting Yamamoto 56 wait any longer, a Japanese communication staff officer ran over and said, "Report to Your Excellency, the radar station has detected a large number of enemy planes flying towards Oahu Island!"

Chapter 1526 An old meme

"Nani? How dare they come here in the daytime?"

"Ba Ga, it's too rampant!"

"Isn't the United Fleet of the Great Japanese Empire in danger?"

"Hurry up, order the Imperial Air Warriors to take off immediately!"

Yamamoto 56 and the others turned dark all of a sudden, trembling with anger.

Because he knew exactly what this meant. Since the Allied forces dared to bomb in broad daylight, it could only mean that they had a strong enough air force and were no longer afraid of the deterrence of land-based fighter groups!

It stands to reason that the Allied bombing in broad daylight was actually taking advantage of its strengths.

Because although in the daytime combat environment, the Allied bomber fleet can more easily lock ground military targets and carry out more accurate bombing, it is actually more beneficial to the Japanese army, whose night fighter performance is far inferior.

The latest Rafale fighters and Thunder interceptors they are equipped with, as well as ground anti-aircraft firepower can be maximized,

It's just that talking about toxicity regardless of dose is playing hooligans. The current actual situation is that after a long period of nighttime air strikes and attrition wars, the Japanese Air Force has been greatly consumed.

On the contrary, the Allied forces are getting stronger and stronger, and they have enough capital to waste.

"Hurry up! Take off immediately!"

"Empire warriors, these damn enemy planes dare to come to death during the day, we must let them come and go!"

"For the Yamato nation, charge!"

"Hurry up, get into the gun position! Prepare to fight!"

Although today's situation was a bit unexpected, the Japanese defenders and Japanese pilots who had been preparing for war all the time reacted very quickly. In less than 10 minutes, a large number of fighter jets and interceptors took off from the airport on the island one after another.

没过多久，由15架8-29轰炸机、300余架P-47N雷电战斗机组成的强大作战机群便飞到了瓦胡岛上空。

Needless to say, in the face of intensive anti-aircraft artillery fire and red-eyed devil pilots, the Allied Air Force could only be reckless to the end, and an extremely fierce life-and-death battle began.

The allied forces' attack by jumping over the tower like this is very cool on the surface, but in fact it is really helpless.

The Hawaiian Islands are the key to unlocking the Pacific battlefield, and they are a hurdle that cannot be bypassed. Only by taking them down can the so-called island-hopping tactics really work.

But the Hawaiian Islands are also extremely important to Japan. The Japanese army has made up their minds to defend the Hawaiian Islands from the very beginning. The Japanese Combined Fleet also serves as an important defensive and mobile force, moored in various ports and cannot hold on.

In this case, the Allied forces can only use this uneconomical way to carry out a long-term war of attrition.

Because only by exhausting the Japanese fighter group first, and then destroying the Japanese fleet, the Allied forces can carry out landing operations.

Otherwise, the landing troops would not only be attacked by coastal firepower, but also be bombarded indiscriminately by the Japanese Air Force and fleet, and even face the huge risk of being forced to engage in a warship duel with the Japanese army.

……

On a Japanese army position in Shijiazhuang City, a large group of ghost soldiers with gunpowder faces devoured rice balls, while listening to the Japanese NHK radio broadcast program that was being broadcast on the radio.

First there was a burst of inspiring music, and then a woman's melodious voice came out from the radio:

"Soldiers and soldiers of the imperial army who are fighting bloody battles in Shijiazhuang, Cangzhou, Baoding, Maoming, Kanghai, Deqing and other Chinese battlefields, good afternoon, I am Yuko Yamano, a war correspondent of NHK Radio, and this is specially produced by NHK Radio for you One episode."

"What, is it Ms. Yamano Yuko?"

"A program specially produced for us?"

Hearing this, the expressions of those Japanese officers and soldiers who buried their heads in swallowing the rice balls and drooped their heads suddenly became more exciting, and they all raised their heads curiously. ?

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Yuko Yamano continued to play in a sweet and pleasant voice: "In this episode, I will tell you a sweet love story, and at the same time read two suicide notes written by my wife to her husband."?

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? "Showa 6, there was such a newlywed couple in Osaka."?

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? "The husband's name is Inoue Seiichi, a lieutenant of the 37th Infantry Regiment, and his wife's name is Inoue Chiyoko."?

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? "When the Manchuria Incident broke out, Inoue Kiyoko and Inoue Chiyoko were just newlyweds. Inoue Kiyoshi was reluctant to part with his newly married wife. He was depressed all day long and was reluctant to return to the army!"?

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? "His wife, Chiyoko Inoue, cut her own throat with a dagger while Kiyoichi Inoue was asleep, and ended her own life.

Before committing suicide, the wife left a love letter to her beloved husband. At the same time, this is also a suicide note!The title of this suicide note is called, Lessons from Soldiers' Wives! ..."?

With the advancement of the Chinese Tiger's Army, the Japanese invaders encountered more and more severe military pressure.

Unable to be tough head-on, the ghost soldiers could only resist layer by layer, defending every city and fortress, in an attempt to consume the Chinese tiger and cardinal army to the greatest extent.

After a series of arduous and bloody battles, the Huben army regained a lot of lost ground, and at the same time encountered hard nails one after another, such as the current large cities such as Shijiazhuang, Cangzhou, and Baoding, which have been unable to attack for a long time.

In these strategic locations, the Huben army encountered great resistance and gnawed extremely hard. They could exhaust their means and strength, but they were unable to make decisive progress in the rush. Many battlefields fell into bloody tug-of-war.

But obviously, the Huben army was not feeling well, and the Japanese defense troops who were divided and surrounded were even more uncomfortable, and their morale became depressed day by day.
