Chapter 908

General Nan yunzhongyi has always believed that he is the commander who has the deepest understanding of Naval Aviation in the world. With the efforts of him and Yamamoto, Japanese naval aviation was once the first in the world, with the most powerful Zero fighter and 2000 elite pilots who have experienced the test of war.

But in the face of the U.S. Navy's dense carrier based aircraft attack echelon, a pale sense of powerlessness makes it almost impossible for him to keep his body standing.

Just now, his flagship aircraft carrier Chicheng was hit by a bomb dropped by an American aircraft, leaving a huge hole on the deck. Although it did not cause fire or explosion, it completely lost its ability to continue taking off aircraft.

Although his warship did not sink like the Mississippi battleship, nor capsize like the sun, it is doomed that there will be no more stage for Chicheng aircraft carrier in this naval battle, because it has been out of the game because of this bomb which does not hurt the muscles and bones.

"Baga road is just a bomb. Can't it be repaired?" With a frown, Nan Yunzhong asked the damage control commander on the Chicheng aircraft carrier, "you know, this battle is very important for the great Japanese Empire."

The officer stood at attention, bowed his head, and solemnly replied: "Sir, I really can't repair the damaged deck in a short time. Even if I do my best to repair it, it's almost dark. After two hours, you still can't take off the fighter plane to fight."

Yes, even if the damage control soldiers rush to repair the aircraft carrier, the aircraft carrier will not be able to fight at night, so the Japanese Navy Fleet still has to use two aircraft carriers against the superior forces of the US Army. Nanyun Zhongyi wavered. He didn't know whether he should retreat or stick to this position at this time.

"Send a telegram to marshal Yamamoto and ask him if we can stay where we are or retreat temporarily?" Nan yunzhongyi himself can't make up his mind, so he has to come up with a stupid but never wrong way: ask his boss, marshal Yamamoto 56.

If you ask your superiors more about everything, you won't make a mistake, will you? This is what Mr. Nan is thinking now. I don't know that the pressure on Champ's side is greater than that on his side. At least he is still fighting, while Yamamoto's side is trying to get close to the US fleet.

He didn't know how terrible the United States was in World War II. He didn't know that at the end of World War II, the United States mobilized more than 10 million soldiers and produced hundreds of aircraft carriers. He didn't know that tens of thousands of tanks were produced by American factories and flooded the great Japanese Empire.

Now he even finds that he doesn't know his opponent. He only knows that the commander of the U.S. fleet is called Spruance, which is one of the few U.S. intelligence he has received. This kind of intelligence collection efficiency makes the commander of the Japanese Navy Air Force sweat all over, with an indescribable sense of danger.

The Japanese were good at understanding their opponents. Before the Sino Japanese War, they sent thousands of spies into China to collect intelligence. Most of the Chinese people don't have a thorough understanding of even the things reported by the spies.

From the total amount of weapons produced by the Jiangnan manufacturing General Administration to the mobilization mechanism of the whole China at that time, the bureaucrats, the war preparations of the army and the battle determination of the high-level power class, etc. Collected by all these spies, they gathered a set of detailed reports on China, which became the first-hand information for the Japanese military to study China.

Relying on such detailed information, Japan won the Sino Japanese War of 1894-1895, and completed its rise. Now Japan doesn't know the United States. It doesn't even know that the new aircraft carrier produced by the United States is about to be built, and it doesn't know the actual scale of the US fleet.

From the information just returned from the first wave of attack aircraft formation, Nan yunzhongyi got a previously unknown Intelligence: the aircraft carriers of the US fleet were not four or five as estimated by the Japanese army, but seven in total, which made the task being carried out by Nan yunzhongyi's fleet impossible. He underestimated the American air defense force, It also underestimates the attack power of the Americans.

After the war between the Americans and the Japanese, they took counter espionage measures. The first is to control all the Japanese population in the United States to prevent them from carrying out sabotage and spy activities. Even Chinese and Southeast Asian travelers to the United States have been restricted, and all Asian Americans have lost the right to move freely in the United States.

In this way, the intelligence network built by the Japanese in the United States has been paralyzed, and the slightest bit of American intelligence can no longer be detected. This kind of information inequality makes Japan a blind wolf. Although it is fierce, it can only collide like a headless fly.

"Intelligence is incompetent. The Americans already have such a huge aircraft carrier fleet, and they even promised me that the Americans only have four aircraft carriers. "Nan yunzhongyi gave a wry smile, looking at the rescue workers repairing the damaged deck of the akacheng aircraft carrier around the crater on the deck, whispered:" I have lost 40 aircraft, so it's really over. "

The fact that the aircraft carrier akacheng was unable to take off its own aircraft made the strength of the Japanese naval aviation force drop by half. Now, it is fortunate that Japan's second wave attack echelon can gather up to 30 aircraft. However, according to the current scale of the U.S. Navy's aviation force, it is estimated that if these 30 planes really take off to attack, they will almost never come back. We can't shrink back at this time. This is the idea of Nan Yun Zhongyi. Now in this case, even if it's an iron hearted escape, the end is no better. It's really better to fight with your opponent. At least, it can also leave a reputation of fighting to the death, so as not to be called a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death by later generations. Nan yunzhongyi's hand unconsciously grasped the command knife that he was carrying around his waist, and then made up his mind to fight for a better chance for Yamamoto with the destruction of his fleet. So he looked at his adjutant and gave an order to continue the attack: "order the two aircraft carriers, Longyu and Jiahe, to take off and make a second surprise attack on the US Navy's aircraft carrier fleet. Long live the great Japanese Empire. Long live his Majesty the emperor. The eight hundred gods will protect Japan's long-term military movement." at this time, the first wave of attack aircraft group of the United States has returned, So the Japanese Navy fleet is also on the battlefield to save its broken Fleet: two destroyers are burning in smoke, and a cruiser can only see one bow floating on the water now. The Japanese Navy's escort ships have paid a heavy price to ensure the safety of the aircraft carrier, and countless sailors are waiting for the salvage of the rescue ships. Nan yunzhongyi doesn't know what extent the 30 planes of the second wave attack fleet can achieve, but he still prays that these planes can easily sink two American aircraft carriers and complete the great reversal of the whole battlefield. At this time, his palms were full of sweat. I don't know whether it was because of nervousness or because the weather was too hot“ "Boom" just when Nan yunzhongyi was thinking about whether to replace his flagship with the still operational Jiahe aircraft carrier, a slight explosion occurred on the Chicheng aircraft carrier. I don't know why a plane suddenly exploded and damaged the very important lift on the aircraft carrier“ There's nothing to be hesitant about. Send a signal to the Kaga. I'm going to move the headquarters there. " Nan yunzhongyi looked at the lift on the fuming aircraft carrier deck and looked at the people behind him: "hurry to put the boat. We don't have much time." After the order, he looked at the captain of the Chicheng aircraft carrier, and then arranged: "I've arranged. The destroyer Shiyu will provide cover to protect you all the way west and retreat back to the mainland first. Please wait for the news of our victory. Long live the great Japanese Empire. The captain didn't know that he was excited because he felt safe for the time being; It was because I heard the slogan "long live the great Japanese Empire" that I got excited. In short, he was very excited to stand at attention, bowed his head to Nan yunzhongyi and said, "Sir, take care." Nan Yunzhong waved his hand, and then he was surrounded by people and walked out of the command bridge. His commander's flag slowly descended from the flagpole of the Chicheng aircraft carrier, and then was neatly folded together by two sailors and stacked into a square. Seeing that his flag was put away, Nan Yun turned around. With his entourage, guards and staff, he jumped into the boat and sailed toward the Jiahe aircraft carrier on the slightly wavy ocean. What he didn't expect was that this was the last time he left the Chicheng aircraft carrier, and the last time the Chicheng aircraft carrier, as his flagship, emerged in the Pacific battlefield. Half an hour later, the US Navy's aviation troops swarmed in, and the Japanese Navy's Longyu aircraft carrier was the first to be hit by an air bomb while evading the torpedo, and finally capsized in the Solomon Islands waters. The destroyer Xuefeng was ordered to rescue the drowning people on the carrier longyi, and then left the fighting area. The entire Japanese first air fleet suffered heavy losses, and the US Navy's attack planes went crazy and attacked all the targets they could attack. Then came a rare piece of good news: the carrier plane on the Kaga sank an American escort aircraft carrier. But then the Japanese Navy waited for the news of the total annihilation of their carrier based aircraft. Except for the 50 carrier based aircraft that left the battlefield with the Chicheng, almost all the carrier based aircraft that the Japanese Navy participated in the war have been lost
