Chapter 614

On the battleship changmen, the flagship of the Japanese United Fleet, Yamamoto 56 looked at the sea level to the East and narrowed his eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking, but his fingers were beating on the table. It seemed that he was not distracted, but thinking about something.

"Mr. Xiaoli, do you think the Americans will come or not?" See responsible for taking care of their own lives of the orderly brought tea, Yamamoto 56 suddenly asked. It seems like a joke to ask a serviceman about the future of the whole fleet.

"Marshal... I'm just an orderly." The orderly who had been with Yamamoto for two years quickly bowed his head and replied, "I don't understand this kind of thing. I'm only responsible for the food and living of Marshal you."

Yamamoto waved his hand, obviously not very satisfied with the old soldier's answer. He took a sip of tea, looked at the glass with horizontal stripes on his hand, and once again asked: "tell me, just tell me what you think. I really want to hear it. Think of it as... Curiosity... Curiosity. "

"Marshal, my subordinates feel that the American warships have been sunk by us. They must have no courage to attack us." The orderly thought about it and said what he thought.

Yamamoto seemed to confirm something, nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his orderly to retreat. In fact, his heart was full of fear. There was not much oil left in some warships of the United Fleet. The aircraft on the aircraft carrier had been fighting for more than ten days in a row. At this time, his fleet was too tired to fight any more.

However, there are more than 30000 Japanese soldiers on lovely island and Oahu, so the United Fleet cannot leave. Too much Japanese force has been consumed here, which has made the wily Yamamoto feel a little uneasy. He was afraid that the United States would launch a counterattack at this time and prayed countless times in his heart that the Americans would not suddenly appear at this time.

"The destroyer Qiufeng sent a telegram. They found that four planes had taken off from the U.S. airport on Hawaii Island. It seemed that they were doing reconnaissance flight." A staff officer walked behind Yamamoto and bowed his head to report the latest battlefield intelligence.

"What? "Reconnaissance plane?" Yamamoto narrowed his eyes, repeated a sentence, then suddenly opened his eyes: "at this time, the Americans, the reconnaissance plane... What are they looking for? Find the fleet! Find... Nan Yun's fleet

Muttering to here, he suddenly stood up, hands a hammer: "come! American! Finally, it came! Power for Nanyun Zhongyi! Order him to be ready to fight against the sea, inform all warships, and send reconnaissance planes to investigate the nearby sea, especially the area east of the Hawaiian Islands! Find the American fleet

Yamamoto has a keen sense of the arrival of the US fleet. This is not how skillful and magical he is in command of the war, but how concerned he has been with the various counter attack means that the United States may take. He felt that if he was the commander of the U.S. Navy Fleet, he would definitely choose this opportunity to launch a counterattack against Japan.

As the commander in chief of the joint fleet of the Japanese Navy, Yamamoto 56 is one of the few commanders in the Japanese Navy who can correctly assess the strength of the United States. He understood, or partly understood, the war potential of the United States, and could guess some of the strategic policies of the high-level United States, just as Nimitz and Roosevelt could guess the actions of the Japanese.

So, at this moment, when he learned that the American fleet might come, he was fighting fiercely in his heart, and he was not ready to meet the American fleet. He is hesitating whether to give up Oahu and turn around, or to risk a fight with the U.S. Navy here. He frowned and suddenly hoped that all this was a false alarm. He even felt that it must be so. It must be that he was too nervous.

"The reconnaissance plane on the battleship lu'ao found an American destroyer. Because of the fear of being shot down, the seaplane did not approach for investigation, but just sent back the message. The message says he saw a destroyer, probably followed by a second one. " After more than 30 minutes, a Japanese reconnaissance plane finally found the American fleet, and at about the same time, the American fleet also found the approximate position of the Japanese Navy.

The tired Japanese Navy's four aircraft carriers led by Nan yunzhongyi immediately launched a counterattack against the detected U.S. fleet. Because he carried out Yamamoto's order, prepared carrier based aircraft in advance, and loaded these aircraft with torpedoes to attack the sea, he can now calmly let the aircraft take off and rush to the U.S. fleet.

On his command ship, the commander of the first air fleet of the Japanese Navy, Nan yunzhongyi, stares at the intelligence. After comparing the charts, he confirms the attack mission with the flight commander of his own air force: "the first wave of attack is carried out here. After sinking the American aircraft carrier as soon as possible, he returns to sea. The second wave of attack has to take off in the gap, so we must seize the time."

"Hi The air force flight commander stood at attention, bent down and said aloud, "please rest assured that the air force will complete its mission and destroy the last aircraft carrier fleet of the United States." With that, the commander with a saber walked out of the bridge to encourage his pilots to attack the US fleet.

On deck. Japanese pilots are cheering and yelling that they are about to start. The slogan of long live the emperor reverberates over the deck of the aircraft carrier. Some of the engines of the aircraft have started. Some Japanese ground crew are finally confirming whether the torpedo mounted on the aircraft has been uninsured.

"Sato Jun, this flight will be related to whether the United Fleet can attack the United States. Please carry forward the glorious bushido spirit of our army, sink the American aircraft carrier and bring glorious victory to the Empire. " Holding the command knife at his waist, commander Dazuo Suzuki just came to the deck from Nanyun. He solemnly told Sato, the commander of the front-line flying forces“ Hi! Don't worry, Suzuki. " Sato was obviously confident about this mission: "all my fighter pilots have been flying for more than 15 hours. They are the most elite pilots in the world. This time the Americans dare to challenge the warriors of our great Japanese Empire. I will make them regret their stupid decision. " Sato has his own proud capital. His carrier based aircraft troops began to take part in the combat against the US Army in the Philippines a few months ago. Along the way, they shot down a total of 90 US aircraft of various models. There are several Ace Pilots in the team, and even the commander of the Japanese base camp, Hideki Nagano (the big brother is the backer of Yamamoto 56), praised him personally“ Let's go! I am looking forward to your safe return here! Push the Imperial Navy to a brilliant peak Suzuki nodded, indicating that Sato could start. Sato nodded and turned to his plane. Not far away from them, a row of pilots raised their hands and cheered loudly: "your majesty! Long live The whole deck was busy, and the first plane had slipped to the take-off standby area by this time. Standing on the bridge, Nan yunzhongyi watched his carrier based plane begin to take off, and sweat oozed from his palms. It is reasonable to say that the fleet is not in a very good state now. The pilots of carrier based aircraft and the sailors of warships have not been rested. It is obviously not very rational to have a decisive battle at this time. However, as a commander of the Japanese Navy, he also knew that escape was obviously not what an emperor should do. There are 49000 soldiers on Oahu and lovely island fighting in blood. For the elite of these empires, the United Fleet can not choose to retreat“ God bless the emperor, and the martial arts will last for a long time. " Nanyun Zhongyi prays silently in his heart. At this time, the only thing he can do is pray. If the Japanese Navy withstood the pressure, or if its naval air force withstood the pressure and won the crucial World War I, then Japan would be able to dominate the Pacific for a long time. But if something goes wrong, he is holding the elite of the Japanese Navy. As a commander, he knows he can't afford to lose“ general! Marshal Yamamoto calls! The four battleships, changmen and lu'ao, as well as ISI and RI, have moved to the left side of the fleet. Marshal Yamamoto hopes to rely on the high speed of the four battleships to approach the US Navy from the side and attack the US fleet with artillery to distract the opponent's attention. " An officer came over and said to Nan Yun Zhongyi. The U.S. aircraft has found the position of the aircraft carrier of the Japanese Navy Fleet, so keeping radio silence is self deception, and the Japanese Navy is not an idiot. It immediately uses its superior forces to encircle the U.S. fleet in two parts“ The Marshal's personal adventure is a model for the emperor and the people. " Nan yunzhongyi praised, and then issued an attack order: "after the first batch of carrier based aircraft is released, the second batch will be ready immediately! Bombers and torpedoes at the same time! Be sure to sink your opponent's carrier fleet One after another, Japanese aircraft jumped up on the deck of the aircraft carrier and formed a flying formation in the distance of Nanyun Zhongyi bridge. Facing the morning sun, they flew to the confirmed coordinates. On the other hand, the battle alert of the U.S. fleet has been sounded, and Nimitz knows that his opponent has already known that he is coming. However, a few hours ago, he got intelligence that some aircraft carrier based planes of the Japanese Navy appeared in Darwin port, which made Nimitz and Spruance not turn around and escape, determined to stay and fight to the death“ General Spruance, the command of the carrier fleet is up to you. Please take over the command. " Nimitz sent a message to his men before the battle: "God bless America, victory belongs to us!"
