Chapter 865

It's really strange to say that at the beginning of the naval battle, the U.S. Navy didn't know how to fight with the wind and the water. At a distance of more than ten kilometers, it fired first, and miraculously sank a destroyer of the Japanese Navy in the second round of shooting.

With such a high accuracy, even Britain, a naval power, has never been. The Japanese Navy, which claims to be invincible in artillery warfare, was so confused that it lost to the US Navy in artillery warfare. In the current words, it is unscientific.

However, it is possible that things will turn against each other at the extreme. It is also possible that the US Navy used up its good luck at the moment of war. It is more likely that the other side's destroyers really have some magical power... In short, the miracle never happened to the US Navy.

Or, to put it bluntly, the qualities displayed by the US Navy in subsequent battles can almost really reflect their usual training level.

The cruiser continued to fire and aimed at the Japanese destroyer Xuefeng, which was sailing towards it. As a result, the gun did not even hit the shadow of Xuefeng, not to mention reappearing the magical effect of the two guns just now. The shell was at least a few hundred meters away from the destroyer, which made the jubilant mood of the US Navy fall to the bottom.

Following the US warships, we started today's evil journey. Three cruisers opened fire in turn, and the shells from the main guns flew to the two Japanese destroyers. However, the two destroyers seemed to have their own defense shields, but they couldn't hit a single shell.

Then the U.S. Navy was in a hurry to avoid the torpedoes thrown by the Japanese Navy. As a result, they almost collided with each other and gave the Japanese Navy their achievements in vain. Although in the end let them escape a disaster, but also scared out of a cold sweat.

The Japanese destroyer on the other side suddenly changed its course and turned around to escape, which also relieved the US Navy. Anyway, we have achieved our goal of expelling the enemy's warships, and we have also created the record of sinking one of the other's destroyers in two rounds of shelling, which is enough to make a difference.

So these two Japanese destroyers named Shi Yu and Xue Feng miraculously swayed around the periphery of the main fleet of the United States, returned to the main battle sequence of the Japanese joint fleet in the Marshall Islands, and started their legendary journey in the Pacific Ocean.

When the telegram was sent back to the headquarters of the United Fleet, Yamamoto felt that what he was worried about would eventually come true. The United States, which could not benefit from the German forces, was destined to focus its attention on the Japanese joint fleet. At this time, it was the weakest moment of the Japanese naval joint fleet.

At this moment, the Japanese Navy only has the aircraft carrier akacheng and Kaga, which are fully organized and have certain combat capabilities. Then it can only start to count the pathetic battleships and cruisers in its hands. Under such circumstances, the best way Yamamoto can think of is to rely on the six army fighters on the Marshall Islands to help kill the US Navy Fleet.

His plan is highly feasible, mainly relying on the air force of the six armies to contain the fighter forces of the US Navy, and then using the naval air force with sufficient training in sea attack to raid the US Navy and disrupt the US operational deployment. Then he relied on the battleships in his hands to cut into the US Navy fleet and won a decisive victory.

So while ordering the United Fleet to prepare for the war, Yamamoto grabbed the phone in his hand and ordered his subordinates to send out a telegram asking for immediate reinforcement from the Australian theater 6 command in the Marshall Islands.

However, when Yamamoto 56 boarded his flagship, the battleship "gate" of the Japanese United Fleet, and was talking with fulufan Dazuo about how to attack the U.S. fleet, he got a response from the six armies, and this response made Yamamoto 56 almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

It turned out that as early as ten days ago, in order to launch the combat plan of marching into India, the six armies deployed most of the combat power they could find. Almost one third of the fighters of the six armies in the Australian theater were deployed. There was really no surplus force to support the Navy.

The plan to attack India was denounced by the Japanese Navy from the very beginning. In the end, I did not expect that the 6th army would go its own way to such a point. It directly put aside the Navy and implemented this huge attack plan. In March, it began to attack India's inpar region.

This battle is still in progress. The six armies claim that their offensive is overwhelming. Yamamoto 561 is not a good time to comment on this battle far away in Southeast Asia. However, it is an indisputable fact that this battle has weakened the Japanese forces in the Pacific Ocean. But these are the important reasons for Yamamoto's hesitation in the Marshall Islands.

But now, it has become an extravagant hope that there should be six army air forces near the Marshall Islands to cover up. Then, launching a decisive battle with the US fleet in the Marshall Islands has become a joke. If the Japanese joint fleet can win, what are they going to do in Marshall? Why don't you just kill the U.S. Navy?

Yamamoto 56 stood on the deck of the battleship changmen, trembling with anger. His carefully arranged Marshall's strategy of luring the enemy to a decisive battle turned into a bubble because of the absence of the air force of the Sixth Army. Thanks to Yamamoto's amazing determination, it is estimated that other people have already started to swear.

At any time, the news is not completely closed, especially in Japan, when the navy has problems, the Sixth Army helps to publicize, or when the Sixth Army has a joke, it's not uncommon for the navy to help gossip. Therefore, even in the Marshall Islands, the Japanese Navy knows that the Sixth Army made a lot of funny jokes in the battle of India's inpal. The attacking troops drove sheep and cattle, rode bicycles, took a few days' rations, carried a rifle and a small amount of ammunition and went out. Their slogan was "down with inpal, sit and eat with montbarton". The 31 division in charge of the attack was forced to go out without even completing the basic combat preparation. Mou Tiankou, the commander of the 15th army in charge of commanding the front-line operations, gave instructions to his subordinates: "without supplies, you can't fight? How can that work! The Japanese army can endure any hardship. There is no food to be taken from the enemy. I don't believe we're worse than the Navy cowards! " In the eyes of the members of the Japanese army, the combat plan drawn up with such an attitude is simply appalling. The Japanese army 6 has not assessed the Chinese expeditionary force that has persisted in fighting in northern Myanmar, nor has it taken into account the resistance of the British army. In the view of the Japanese Army 6 general mu Tiankou, the squadron is unbearable, and the British army in India is just a local dog. His troops just have to drive all the way, These troops will collapse and surrender. But Mou Tiankou's subordinates are not so optimistic. Many people think this is a battle that cannot be won. Many soldiers in the army feel pessimistic that they are going to die. Before crossing the chinton River, the pessimistic opponents of the commander of Sato division of the 31st division of the 6th army told them, "ladies and gentlemen, we are going to cross the chinton River tonight. Before that, I have something to say to you. Please listen carefully! As long as there is no miracle, your lives will be lost in the coming battle. But, instead of falling under the bullet, most of you will starve to death in the alagan mountains. Please be prepared Of course, Yamamoto doesn't know about these things now. He is still very angry about the transfer of the air force from the 6th army. Finally, the indignant Yamamoto ordered the whole army to retreat, leaving behind 30000 Japanese troops stationed in the Marshall Islands and taking the United Fleet to the Solomon Islands behind the Marshall Islands“ Since you have done so well! Then don't blame me, Yamamoto. In order to keep the Navy, he took your six armies as the backing! The whole army of the United Fleet retreated to Solomon. Xuefeng and Shiyu destroyers were incorporated into the 16th and 27th destroyers at the rear of the palace respectively. "This is Yamamoto's last word before he fell ill. Then the Admiral fainted in his post. After losing the mainstay of Yamamoto 56, the United fleet fled in a hurry. After losing the two destroyers at the back of the palace, it reluctantly retreated to the Solomon Islands. After finishing its troops, now, in addition to the snow wind and the two destroyers of Shiyu, the poor 16th and 27th destroyers are totally destroyed. This battle gave back all the advantages of the Japanese Navy's destroyer fleet in the past patrol encounters in the Marshall Islands to the US Navy. In terms of Destroyer losses, the Japanese Navy's successor ranked first. After this battle, the total number of sunken ships surpassed that of the US Navy. In the most reluctant war of attrition, the Japanese United Fleet lost more than the US Navy. Such an intolerable thing actually happened. When Yamamoto was painstakingly calculating that a Japanese destroyer had to replace at least a few American destroyers, the Japanese Navy gave him an average loss of 1. Only one Japanese destroyer can sink one American destroyer... Time is not on Japan's side. Now it seems that luck is not on Japan's side. Yamamoto 56 is not in the mood to fight with the U.S. Navy, because what he needs to face now is the fact that after he retreated to the Solomon Islands and gave up Marshall, the letter of complaint from the Sixth Army flew to the base camp like snow. The Japanese Navy's combined fleet is in a gloomy situation at this moment. As the saying goes, when a bird is dying, its song is sad
