Chapter 1245： Repeat the trick

"Gentlemen, thank you for your efforts. Let us be able to win this attack! According to the detection of our reconnaissance plane, we have destroyed the six airports that were attacked. In this battle, we have destroyed Over 600 German combat aircraft have been dispatched! The entire eastern Philippines and the Mariana Islands waters are no longer German. In this sea area, we will be very safe!" General Yamamoto Fifty-Six said with a look on his face. smile.

The combined fleet's victory this time exceeded his expectations. Before winning, even he himself did not expect it to be so smooth. Although there were some twists and turns in this attack, they were generally acceptable.

A group of senior generals of the United Fleet are also full of excitement. Victory in the first battle is undoubtedly an excellent boost to the morale of the fleet. This is undoubtedly of great benefit to winning this war.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we were able to achieve victory only under your wise leadership. Although the Germans are powerful, we will definitely be able to defeat them this time!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander. After we destroyed the German air base in the Mariana Islands, we have enough room to maneuver. This piece of sea can be used as a decisive battle between us and the Germans. With the joint The strength of the fleet can completely defeat the Germans in this battle!" Lieutenant Admiral Kakuda Koji also said.

General Yamamoto nodded in satisfaction. He was undoubtedly very satisfied with the confidence and fighting spirit of the generals. When the war just started, everyone was more or less worried. But now, after this victory, everyone's confidence is undoubtedly stronger.

Lieutenant Admiral Nagumo Chuichi also had a smile on his face. As an aviation warfare expert in the joint fleet of the Japanese navy, he certainly believed that there was still a big gap between the carrier-based aircraft force of the combined fleet and the German navy. But he also believes that if this battle is well grasped, victory is also very possible. As long as the combined fleet can defeat the German Navy's Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet, they will be able to become the overlord of the Western Pacific and even the entire Pacific and Indian Ocean. Although the German navy is still very powerful, they have to guard against the Americans. Therefore, for a long time to come, the United Fleet will be able to sit back and relax. Once the army of the island country captures Southeast Asia and Australia, it will be able to obtain massive resources from here. At that time, the military power of the island country will develop by leaps and bounds because of these resources.

"Gentlemen, this victory is only a preliminary victory. Don't forget, the German Navy's Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet still exist. Moreover, our attack this time has been exposed. Next, the Germans' The fleet will go all out. Therefore, for us, the real battle has just begun. Only in the next battle, if the German Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet are also eliminated in one fell swoop, can we truly obtain the final victory. victory!" General Yamamoto Fifty-Six said.

Although this victory made him very satisfied, it didn't make him feel elated. He knew very well that the victory this time did not hurt Germany. The two major fleets of the German Navy are the biggest threat to the combined fleet. Only by destroying the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet of the German Navy can they truly win.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander!" The smiles on the faces of the generals disappeared. Everyone knows that now is not the time to be really happy. It's too late to be happy after the German navy is completely defeated.

"So, how can we defeat the Germans next, what do you think about this?" General Fifty-Six Yamamoto asked.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I'm afraid we have to be more careful in the next battle. After the Germans suffered a loss, they will definitely be more cautious. According to the information obtained, the German Navy's Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet have disappeared. It is certain that they must have rushed to the battlefield. This makes us have to prepare for the battle with the German fleet." Lieutenant Admiral Nagumo Chuichi said.

General Yamamoto Fifty-Six nodded with a serious face. He also knew that it might not be so easy to win again. However, if it can win again, the United Fleet may be able to secure the victory.

"Masters, although it is very difficult to defeat the Germans. But for the sake of the empire, we must defeat the Germans!" General Yamamoto Fifty-Six said.

"Your Excellency, the German airfield in the Mariana Islands was destroyed by us. Then they only have airfields in the Caroline Islands, Micronesia Islands and Marshall Islands. Among them, the Caroline Islands There is only one small airport on the island, and there are not many planes parked. There are more seaplanes for reconnaissance. But they have three airports on Pohnpei Island in the Micronesian Islands. There, four There are more than a hundred combat aircraft, and they are very powerful. If we can destroy the airport on Pohnpei Island in one fell swoop, this will allow us to win another big victory. At the same time, it will be able to further compress the space for the Germans to move. Our The scope of activities can also be further expanded. It will be very beneficial to the next decisive battle with the Germans!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo said.

"Do the old trick again and send a capital ship team to attack Ponapei Island? However, the Germans will definitely be prepared this time. If we want to succeed again, I am afraid it will not be so easy." Admiral Yamamoto Fifty-Six said.

The Germans have already suffered a loss, and it is almost impossible for them to suffer the same loss again.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander. The Germans will definitely be prepared. However, we can take advantage of this opportunity to have a decisive battle with the German fleet.

If we send a capital ship team to attack Ponapei Island, if the Germans want to stop us, there is only one way, and that is to send a capital ship to fight us. I believe that with the strength of the 16 capital ships of the combined fleet, there is absolutely no problem in defeating the 15 old capital ships of the Germans. If we can successfully sink those battleships of the Germans, then we will win most of the battle. The next battle will undoubtedly be much easier. "Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo said.
