Chapter 302:Bait: Fishing for Big Japanese Fish

Pacific Ocean 500 nautical miles east of Guadalcanal.

The main force of the Red Guard Navy's Western White Tiger Fleet is approaching this theater.

No one underestimated Japan, even if it lost several aircraft carriers, but also lost a large number of excellent aviation, but Japan's huge war machine, still enough to be in the naval battle, to bring a certain threat to the Red Guard Corps.

War is not the one who is equipped to win, it has an absolute chance of winning.

The fact that the just-concluded naval battle is not too large also shows this.

From the military force to compare, the sea-making combat capabilities of the three amphibious fleets, if not the performance balance of the aircraft amphibious ship as an aircraft carrier use deficiencies, otherwise it is difficult to have an advantage in the face of the Japanese Navy.

Without aircraft carriers, there is no early warning aircraft that can be expected to advance enemy aircraft, and the combat environment and weather are also the key to the success or failure of the war.

The future will face the same situation again at any time, after all, the Red Police Corps staff headquarters is not 100% like God, all the plans are also based on relative intelligence.

On the command ship White Tiger, Fan Yize took a helicopter to board the huge command ship, and Admiral Guo Shaohua on the ship personally greeted the arrival of Fan Yize.

Dozens of staff officers in the huge fleet command are busy.

The arrival of the White Tiger fleet will be mainly responsible for the combat mission in the Western Pacific region, giving full play to the strong scientific and technological advantages of the Red Guard Navy, and looking for opportunities to completely eliminate more major forces of the Japanese Navy.

Even if it cannot be completely destroyed, it must ensure that the Japanese Navy is no longer threatened.

"Commander, at present, our forces near Guadalcanal are almost the same as the ships, aircraft and forces that can be used for direct combat, and even the Japanese army has a slight advantage in large warships such as aircraft carriers and battleships."

Guo Shaohua took the lead in saying to Fan Yize: "But this is only temporary, in a week's time, all our forces will be fully deployed, and we will have the advantage of the Japanese Navy."

Hearing Guo Shaohua's words, Fan Yize seemed to have no interest at all, but asked him: "Historically, what kind of situation is the war on Guadalcanal, the Japanese and American forces on Guadalcanal?"

"Similar to our current situation with the Japanese army, the historical war on Guadalcanal, in all respects, was initially dominated by the Japanese.And the Japanese forces in the Guadalcanal region are now about the same as in history.”Guo Shaohua did not know his intention, said.

"Yes, in the early days of the Guadalcanal War in history, it was clear that the Japanese had the advantage, but why did the final battle be won by the Americans?"Fan Yize turned back to Guo Shaohua and asked.

This kind of problem is not difficult to fail Guo Shaohua, and does not need to think, he immediately said: "The gap in strategic thinking, and the Japanese are too greedy."

“Isn’t that exactly the same thing we’ve seen so far?”Fan Yize nodded gently and said, "You know why we are obviously ready, but the strength of Guadalcanal does not occupy enough advantages?"

Guo Shaohua did not know more about the relevant information, because everything was carried out in accordance with the plan of the Corps General Command Center.

He also knew that if it was a normal situation, the battle against Guadalcanal had broken out, according to the Red Guard Corps' combat regulations, all troops should be fully prepared, and not the result of the previous naval battle, because under normal circumstances, the Japanese Navy's actions will be faced by the main carrier fleet of the Red Police Navy.

“Testing the response of the various forces in the face of difficulties, but also to attract more Japanese naval forces.”Guo Shaohua thought and said.

"That's right."Fan Yize nodded slightly, if not to create a larger battlefield in Guadalcanal, the Western White Tiger Fleet will not still be in this position, the two aircraft carrier strike groups, have already arrived in Guadalcanal.

Guadalcanal is a bait, a bait for fishing in Japan.

The Japanese war effort greatly exceeded their own combat capabilities.

Japan has always had expansion ambitions, its basic national policy is aggression and expansion, and its military performance is to gain and insatiable.

Whenever an occupied territory is occupied, in order to hold the occupied territory, it is necessary to further occupy other important places in the vicinity, and even if it is counterattacked, it is unwilling to give up.

This is contrary to the law that Clausewitz said in The Theory of War that “the offensive forces will gradually weaken.”

To put it plainly, with the advance of the front, the occupied areas and the vital rear lines of communication that need to be defended are increasing, and the number of troops used is increasing.

The number of troops used for the front line is gradually reduced, and the defense side gradually concentrated with the shortening of the front.

Therefore, more and more troops on the front line, so as the comparison of the front-line forces on both sides changed, the defense party could launch a counterattack once the force was greater than the attacking side, thus changing the war situation.

That is to say, the attack action of the attacking party will suffer defeat if it exceeds the limit of its own strength.

In the early days of the war, the Japanese occupied Rabaul and northeastern New Guinea in an attempt to establish the first line of defense in the Bismarck Islands, an area that was already the limit of the offensive force for the Japanese.

However, the unexpected and huge victory achieved in the early days of the war made the Japanese military profit so faint and forgetful that it decided to continue to advance the front line to the southeastern South Pacific, so the airport was built on Guadalcanal.

When the Red Guards landed on Guadalcanal, if the Japanese army simply withdrew from Guadalcanal, it would not have started a decisive battle against them.

However, the Japanese army believes that if the island is not recaptured, the Red Guard Empire's use of the Guadalcanal airport will pose a great threat to the entire Solomon Islands, then, the Japanese army in the South Pacific, an important air and sea base Labur will lose the barrier, and then threaten the Bismarck Islands, so determined to retake the island.

However, this strategic decision of the Japanese army is extremely disproportionate to its military strength and industrial potential.

In contrast to the transportation capacity, the sea transport capacity of the Red Police Empire has a complete world behind it, not to mention that Japan cannot compare, even if all the countries in the world's maritime transport capacity are added up, it will not be the opponent of the Red Guard Corps.

Moreover, the total number of losses in Japan in the war has declined due to the number of new ships that cannot be repaired.

Guadalcanal is an island that requires a large number of transport ships to transport troops, equipment and supplies, and the Japanese military's ground forces on Guadalcanal's lack of troops and heavy equipment, the extreme lack of supplies, and the lack of Japanese transport ships have a close relationship.
