Halsey did not ridicule Spruance for being too timid and cautious. On the contrary, after holding the telegram from Spruance, he was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter: "ha ha ha. This Spruance, I like him

In fact, it doesn't matter whether Halsey likes Spruance or not, because he doesn't like this typical American who smiles and has his mouth slightly down, and he doesn't like the desperate style of the US Navy attacking before sunset.

This kind of desperation has always been a glorious tradition of the Japanese Navy. Now the US Navy suddenly has such a stubborn fight to the death, which makes every commander of the Japanese Navy feel at a loss. In fact, his idea is very simple. He surrounded the U.S. Navy Fleet on three sides. Then the Americans saw the trick and began to retreat. After the time dragged into the night, he began to pursue the U.S. fleet desperately. After sinking several warships, he left in the middle of the night under the cover of the dark sky. What a good process and outcome.

But the Americans suddenly began to fight for their lives, and Guhe Fengyi suddenly lost his mind. Because the intelligence of the Japanese Navy has never been very accurate, at this time, the United States suddenly attacked the whole line, is it because there is something behind it? He didn't know what the US Army was trying to do, whether it was a desperate fight or a huge trap.

When he hesitated, the U.S. Navy was not idle. They began to take off as many planes as possible, and then flew in the direction of the Japanese Navy aircraft carrier forces. These planes are carrying torpedoes and heavy bombs. The purpose is to keep the only aircraft carriers of the Japanese Navy at the bottom of the sea while the sky is still bright.

"Send a telegram to general Kurita! Let his fleet immediately start to turn southeast, quickly close to the U.S. fleet! Come on Guhe Fengyi realized that if his battleship troops could no longer cause some trouble to the US Navy, the aircraft carrier fleet behind his palace would be completely annihilated by the US Navy before dark.

At this time, he didn't care to find out whether the US Navy had any back moves, because if the US Navy completely annihilated the aircraft carrier fleet, he would have lost the war strategically just like Yamamoto 561. It's like a gambler. If the bookmaker eats up the money, the gambler who gets off the table first must be the one with the most money_ txt; The one less - unfortunately, Japan is the one with the least money.

"Hi The adjutant standing on the left side of guhefeng quickly turned back and went to the telegraph room to convey the orders of guhefengyi. He walked very fast, because no matter which one of these orders is related to the future destiny of Japan. The bridge is eerily quiet. Standing on the Yamato battleship, you can't even feel the swaying waves coming from your feet. This huge battleship with a full displacement of more than 70000 tons can be said to be the largest artillery fighting machine ever built by human beings.

This is also the greatest reliance of Guhe Fengyi. He knew that as long as he entered the operation range of the Yamato battleship, the warships of the U.S. Navy would be beaten to no avail. At that time, the Japanese Navy will pursue and kill all the way to the destruction of the entire US fleet.

……

"Baga! What the hell? We had just sailed to the northeast for a while, and then we got another order to turn to the southeast? " Guhe Fengyi's telegram soon reached Kurita Jiannan's hand, but the commander of the vanguard fleet frowned at the moment, some did not believe the telegram in his hand.

It will take at least ten minutes for his fleet to merge with the northernmost standby support fleet. At this time, if his fleet turns at full speed, it will shake off the slow Fusang battleship of the support fleet again. However, his fleet has just experienced an air defense war, and the casualties and damages are still in the statistics. In this case, let the troops kill them again. Are you kidding?

What makes Kurita even more reluctant to accept is that the telegram did not explain why he was allowed to go south. It was just a very general order. Kurita Keno with this order repeatedly thought about it, full of Guhe Fengyi want to take him as bait idea.

It's not surprising that Kurita is suspicious. Kuroda's operational order has been changed several times, and before that, Kurita's fleet has been fooled into facing the bombing of US carrier based aircraft alone. Combined with what has happened, even if Kurita is more open-minded, he also has a feeling of "selling his teammates".

"If Marshal Yamamoto was directing the battle, he would not have given such a playful order." Standing in his command position, Kurita Jiannan, with both hands on his back, pinched the telegram in his hand, which was written with the order of commander Guhe Fengyi, into a ball full of folds.

……

Marshal Yamamoto, who has been idle at home since his dismissal from the Wugang naval base in Japan, is inspecting the Musashi battleship which is being built on the dock with several officers from the base camp. He is now the head of the Logistics Department of the Japanese Navy, but he has not arranged much exclusive work.

While in the sea area near the island of bismakun, the Japanese Navy is launching a life and death battle with its opponents, Yamamoto 56, as the marshal of the Japanese Navy, is enjoying the peaceful sunshine of the motherland on land.

"Marshal, the Musashi battleship will be fully equipped in three months, and the Xinnong battleship will be launched into service later. At that time, the great Japanese Empire will have three of the most powerful battleships in the world, and the US Navy will not be afraid. " An accompanying officer, standing on the dock of Musashi, pointed to the Musashi, which was installing electronic equipment and other small equipment, and boasted to Yamamoto. It depends on whether the Americans buy it or not. If the Yamato battleship is sunk by the United States this time, where can you fools find three invincible battleships together? What's more, can the world's most powerful battleship really make the US Navy fear less? Yamamoto did not speak at all. He just looked at the huge battleship Musashi and pondered anxiously about how to transfer Japan's huge but weak shipbuilding industry to the real useful aspect as soon as possible. Just as the United States started to build 10 Essex class aircraft carriers in a row, the Japanese Navy was still tightening its belts for two battleships - a pity“ Marshal! You are so uneasy that you seem to be worried about the fleet of general Guhe Fengyi? " Another officer saw Yamamoto's absentmindedness and asked, "please rest assured that his Majesty the emperor and the great God Tianzhao will protect the Imperial Navy for a long time."“ His majesty bless everyone for a long time. " Yamamoto said with some emotion: "but we all need to use our own life and spirit to respond to the protection and love of his majesty! The United Fleet is fighting at sea. As a general of the Imperial Navy, I have to worry about it. "“ Hi! You are right, marshal Two officers mentioned his majesty and immediately bowed down to pay homage: "however, we heard that general Guhe Fengyi's fleet is very strong enough to annihilate the US Navy and save the Pacific War." Nan yunzhongyi, when I'm not at the front line, everything depends on you. Don't let me down, don't let your majesty down. Looking at the distant sea, Yamamoto sighed in his heart. He prayed silently in his heart that the Japanese Navy could survive this difficulty and make its own contribution to the eternal prosperity of the Empire. A few days ago, he visited the Japanese Navy's primary pilot training base, where he saw a group of childish children. They are willing to pledge their allegiance to the emperor to the death, and they are willing to fly airplanes to crash into US Navy warships with unskilled skills, so as to recover their current disadvantages. Despite repeated high-level propaganda that such suicidal attacks are heroic enough to change the war situation, Yamamoto knows that such impacts can only cause trouble to the US Navy. How can these teenagers, who only train twice for formation flight, break through the defense line of US carrier based aircraft that even elite Japanese pilots can't break through“ I hope guhejun can create miracles for our empire that I have not been able to create. " Facing the sea breeze, Yamamoto put his hand on the Marshal's sword, frowning and whispering. Not far from him, the industrious Japanese boatmen were installing some parts on the deck of the battleship Musashi“ Hum, in fact, our navy is good, at least it's still fighting back strategically. " Behind him, the officer who was still advocating the invincibility of the Musashi battleship saw that the marshal was in a bad mood and quickly explained: "the army is really a shame. I heard that what Tojo personally hosted the westward strategy was defeated by the China army, and not to mention Wuhan, even Hukou almost lost... "That is, I heard they also blamed the Navy for their * *, and said what the shelter boats are not enough along the river, which is what our navy intends to do not match..." the Navy's army's dirty water is something that everyone is willing to do. So another officer quickly added, "can we blame it? No one knows the battle of song hu * *, when the PLA troops of the Changjiang Estuary sink so many ships, our warships can not get in at all. Well, if you have time to talk about this, why don't you check the fuel reserves here! Our war will go on for a long time. The navy of the great Japanese Empire can't lose to anyone Yamamoto followed his command knife and stepped forward. With his men who did not dare to speak any more, he left the busy wharf and the battleship Musashi, which was being installed.
