Chapter 782

When the German army killed all sides in the Soviet Union and successively won the battle of the crimson Peninsula and the battle of Donetsk, the days of the Japanese army in the Pacific were getting worse day by day. Yamamoto and the United Fleet assembled on Wake Island, and then stormed to Midway Island. As a result, he just walked half the way and got the news that Midway Island had fallen.

In order to delay the battle, the Japanese military did everything possible. Since they got the news that the U.S. Army was attacking Midway Island, they organized all kinds of reinforcements to try to delay the time for the U.S. Army to seize Midway Island. But now it seems that all these efforts have failed in the end.

The naive performance of the Japanese army in the island defense war was exposed in the midway defense war. A large number of beachhead positions were easily destroyed by the large caliber naval guns of the US Army, which did not play the expected purpose of defending the enemy at the beachhead. Facts have proved that it is a thankless waste of troops to lay out defenses at the beachhead in anti landing operations that have lost the superiority of sea and air.

In this war, the U.S. Army took the lead in destroying the Japanese airport and the beachhead defense positions on the periphery of the island with a typical landing operation idea. At the beginning of the war, the Japanese army was in a passive position, tired of coping, and finally lost the important military area Midway Island.

As a result, Japanese Navy Marshal Yamamoto led the joint fleet to launch a decisive battle with the U.S. Navy in the waters of Midway Island. However, the U.S. military has completed the repair of the airport on Midway Island. The number of U.S. fighter forces coming from Hawaii has an obvious advantage. The fighting process is very difficult. In the end, we can only take defeat as the final outcome of the battle of Midway Island.

In this battle, for the first time, the United Fleet was sunk the aircraft carrier, the main naval decisive weapon. Under the repeated attacks of the U.S. Army's aviation forces, the Japanese Navy's aviation forces finally revealed their flaws. Several torpedoes dropped from the U.S. Navy's aviation aircraft hit the aircraft carrier Longji, sinking the Japanese aircraft carrier, which was barely completed in 1933.

According to the age of the warship, this warship is definitely the main aircraft carrier newly launched. However, because it is a semi monk refitted from the body of a cruiser, its overall performance is not very good. This time it was sunk, it is not a real injury to the Japanese Navy.

However, the message here has made the Japanese high-level officials fidgety. First of all, an old battleship Shancheng was lost inexplicably, and then an aircraft carrier longyi was lost in Midway Island. The meaning revealed in the middle is not as simple as losing the battleship twice at one time.

Facts have proved that the US Navy is recovering its strength, and it is recovering its strength at a speed that the Japanese Navy is unable to resist. The loss of Midway Island lost the strategic depth of the Japanese Navy, exposed Wake Island and Marshall Islands to the attack of the US Navy, and greatly affected the whole Australian strategy.

At the beginning, the Japanese attack on the Hawaiian Islands was frustrated, and the battle for lovely island ended with a tragic defeat. More than 40000 indomitable Japanese soldiers died on the lovely island, and the Japanese Navy ended its strategic offensive posture of winning in succession.

Immediately after that, the Japanese Navy went south to participate in Australia's strategic operations. As a result, just at the beginning, it lost the crucial Midway Island, which can not be explained by Japan's bad luck. The army lost more than 20000 soldiers, and the Navy also lost more than 13000. What's more, more than 200 experienced pilots in the army's aviation were also lost, which is an irreparable loss for Japan.

Infantry can be quickly replenished through conscription. Many young Japanese who have been influenced by Bushido since childhood and brainwashed by twisted patriotism for many years can train and recruit more infantry in a short time even if they lose 100000 infantry. Although quality is bound to decline, it can be made up by quantity.

However, pilots have always been Japan's weakness. Because of its cultural and industrial heritage, this nation has little knowledge of machinery. Japan can only rely on the training and accumulation of flight schools to train pilots, which is much worse than the United States and Germany. Once the pilots are lost, Japan can not make up for them quickly, which directly leads to a serious decline in the combat effectiveness of the Japanese air force.

Because of design reasons, aircraft performance can not be changed and made up in a short period of time, and the quality of pilots is also declining at the speed of diving, which directly leads to a vicious circle of dead end for the Japanese Air Force: poor aircraft performance leads to too much loss for pilots, and the increase of pilots' loss leads to a significant decrease in the new pilots' ability to control the aircraft, And being unable to control the already backward aircraft makes pilots lose more

On the calm sea, the Japanese joint fleet is still fierce. In terms of scale, it is still a behemoth that the U.S. Navy can't challenge, but the sky over this fleet is full of worries. The whole fleet didn't have the ferocious and sharp feeling as it had just started the war, but had more decadent and sad temperament.

Yamamoto left his command ship and gave the changmen battleship to captain fulufan. He went to the captain's room of the Chicheng aircraft carrier alone and sat down with Nan Yunzhong or two. He looked at his subordinates with a touch of sadness in their eyes, without the ferocity of the past.

"Mr. Nan, as I worried, our period of superiority has passed, and now the United States has stepped out of the shadow of Pearl Harbor's failure." Yamamoto confided his worries to his subordinates: "now the United States has recovered its decline. As long as we hold our ground, we have no chance of winning." Nan Yun sighed. Recently, he sighed more than 56 times than Yamamoto. As a commander of the Japanese Navy, he knows the disadvantages of the air force best, so he sighs and worries, but he can't think of any good way. After sighing, he said helplessly: "marshal, the situation may be more serious than you think. The performance of our fighters has been known by the Americans, which is beyond doubt. In addition, with the decrease of the quality of supplementary pilots, we have achieved less and less results in air combat, but more and more losses. At present, although we have not lost the air supremacy of the battlefield, the example of the dragon boat... "When he talked about the sunken carrier of the dragon boat, he obviously stopped for a moment. It was the warship under his command. When it sank, he was naturally extremely distressed:" the example of the dragon boat has shown that our aircraft can no longer ensure that our fleet is impeccable. Next time, maybe next time, we'll make preparations for warship air defense. "“ I'm worried about the Marshall Islands and Wake Island, as well as the whole of Australia. " Yamamoto poured a cup of tea for Nan Yun and himself, and then went on to say, "it's not suitable for the United Fleet to fight again in a short time. These places will face the attack of the US Navy alone. It's good to say that Australia, after all, has a huge area, and it's hard for the United States to eat it for a while. It's hard to say about Wake Island and Marshall Islands. "“ In any case, we have to wait until the new fighters come into service and the new pilots are trained. " Nakamura turns a deaf ear to Yamamoto's worries, and he is more worried about the future of the joint fleet: "if necessary, what if he abandons these islands?" Everyone knows that the abandonment in his words is not the abandonment that he gave up to the United States, but the abandonment that he used the blood of countless soldiers to delay and fight, and finally consumed the American forces. The lives of countless soldiers, under the collision of the upper two mouths, were so mercilessly abandoned“ I've considered all of what you said. I can't think of any good countermeasures for the final result. So we can only take one step at a time. After all, even as a marshal, I can't be responsible for the successive failures. " After taking a sip of tea, Yamamoto spoke slowly: "this time I barely let the base camp not move. If there is no good result next time, I can only give an account to the emperor." Nan yunzhongyi quickly put down his tea cup and bowed his head to persuade him: "marshal, you are my most respected person. The United Fleet can't do without you. I assure you that when the future is ready, the United fleet will surely win a decisive victory over the US fleet. "“ Good! Nan Yun Jun, I believe you. " Yamamoto, comforted by Nanyun, somewhat regained his old momentum. He motioned to Nanyun to continue to drink tea, and then he also took up his tea cup: "general Yongye, the base camp, called and said that the Navy's secret weapons are almost finished. It is estimated that when we fight back, we can use the latest warships in the world to fight against our enemies."“ oh Marshal, this is a good thing. It's said that the fighter design department led by hori yueerlang has launched several new fighters, some of which are in test flight and can be put into production at any time... Plus the new weapons of the Shanghai army, it seems that our national movement of the great Japanese Empire still has the ability to compete. " When Nan yunzhongyi heard the good news, he was inspired. Yamamoto nodded and agreed with Nan Yun. However, his tone when he continued to speak was still not too optimistic: "but we don't have many chips in our hands, which is only enough for us to gamble again."“ Is that new warship really worth our hopes At the end of their conversation, Nan Yun couldn't help asking curiously“ It's worth it. Otherwise, why is it named "Dahe" Yamamoto replied confidently------------ In addition, Long Ling made up the chapter of asking for leave and finally paid off the debt.
