Rabaul under the rainstorm is still full of busy breath.

Japanese soldiers in raincoats, like hard-working little bees, carried all kinds of supplies.

During this period, Rabaul was stationed with more than 60,000 elite Japanese troops, which was strengthened by the Eighth Front's general headquarters here.

But in Fan Yize’s eyes, the Japanese soldiers here will soon be isolated from the world.

Although the Red Guards Corps is not the historical U.S. military, it will not choose to compete one by one against the Pacific islands occupied by Japan, and will still use island skipping tactics similar to the U.S. military.

Fan Yize was patient, and spent several days near Rabaul, and he even got in the mood to build a residence for himself in the depths of the jungle.

It was not that he had nowhere to go, but that New Guinea, to which Rabaul belonged, would soon be the focus of the two armies.

Unsurprisingly, the Japanese had decided to abandon the failed Guadalcanal, intending to try to take back the Japanese army on Guadalcanal, but the operation failed again.

The Japanese Navy, which has few ships, has no second option.

The Japanese army on Guadalcanal was abandoned, and the battle, which was expected to take place throughout the Solomon Islands, also ended.

The Eighth Front, which had been intended to retake Guadalcanal, was also ordered by the Japanese military to capture all of New Guinea.

And that’s what I came here early in the morning.

But compared with the Japanese's ambitions for New Guinea, Fan Yize actually wants to completely eliminate Rabaul and the surrounding garrison.

Japan's control of New Guinea is not at all, just controlling Rabaul, there are troops nearby, and the control of New Guinea, a mainland-like island, is quite weak.

Today, when the village is in New Guinea, the air force of the Red Guard Empire no longer intends to remain silent.

Since the outbreak of the Japanese war, the Air Force has been a small joke, because the tropical ocean climate is really capricious.

The Red Guard Air Force is not a true all-weather combat force and does not have the ability to continue to fight around the clock.

In addition, in order to paralyze the Japanese, so since the Guadalcanal War, the performance of the Air Force has not been bright.

In New Guinea, the Air Force also tried to change the status quo, planning a massive air strike on Rabaul.

However, unfortunately, the bomber fleet has just departed from Australia, and Fan Yize is planning to enjoy the beautiful fireworks show, and the bomber group returns again because of the thunderstorm weather.

It’s not that the Air Force isn’t working hard, it’s that the weather doesn’t cooperate.

But the Navy and Army operations did not stop because of the weather.

Australia is a super-island in a broad sense, shaped like a sleeping double-peak camel, facing west and tailing to the east.

Darwin Harbor was on the hump’s tip to its west, and the hump to the east screamed at Cape York.Brisbane’s position is on its fart, Melbourne is on its tail roots.

1,400 nautical miles from Melbourne to the east is New Zealand.From Cape York to the north, across the Torres Strait, 100 nautical miles wide, it reached Irian.

Irian is only smaller than Greenland and the second largest island in the world.

Irian is like a big kangaroo bent on the ground, like a female peacock prostrating, also head westward toward the east.

The sage part is called the Papua Peninsula, the bay is on the tip of Papua's tail, and Port Moresby is under the tail.The entire tail is lined with the Owen Stanley Mountains, which are taller and more dangerous than the Chinese Qinling Mountains.

Lai and the town of Saramoa are connected by the back and tail.The city of Lai and the Bay of Mirren are connected in a straight line, and its midpoint is two small fishing villages, Bouna and Horner.Connecting Wouna and Morsby, the midpoint is the indigenous tribal village of Kokodak.

Crossing the strait from Lai City, it landed on New Britain Island.The famous Rabaul is at its eastern end.

At the eastern end of the Vittiz Strait there is a small island, and the small strait between the island of New Britain is called the Temple Strait.

Following the 141th line of the East longitude, Irian was divided into two: the eastern part was called New Guinea, which was once administered by the Australian government.

There is a small island near the north side of the Irian kangaroo neck, Biak.The kangaroo’s head is fixed on a group of islands, the Malugu Islands, the spice archipelago that Europeans have dreamed of for centuries and for which Magellan has sailed the globe.

The northernmost island of the Malugu Islands is Morothe, which is only 220 nautical miles from the bird-headed peninsula west of Irian.

The center of gravity of New Guinea is Port Moresby.The Japanese command set it as the terminus of the strategic attack south.

By controlling it, you can use bombers to bomb any Australian city and island within a radius of 2,000 kilometers, until Brisbane.

This time, the Japanese Navy fully agreed with the Army's combat plan, directly attacking Port Moresby from the sea.

To this end, the Japanese Navy dispatched all the warships that the joint fleet could operate.

Based on the Japanese Navy's Fifth Air Fleet's Xianghe and Ruihe aircraft carriers, the cruiser fleet's two cruisers as the escort core, from the port of Truk.

At the same time, the Japanese Navy's Xiangfeng light aircraft carrier in Rabaul, led by eight cruisers and six destroyers of the landing cover fleet, also departed from Rabaul.

Then the convoy that really escorted the Japanese Army soldiers set out again from Rabaul, a convoy of fourteen troop carriers, protected by a cruiser and six destroyers, towards the target Port Moresby.

More than 100 fighters at Rabaul Airport can also be used as battlefield support.

The first Japanese fleet, the target of the aircraft carrier Xiangfeng, was directly at Port Moresby.

The second fleet, the Fifth Air Fleet, went to the nearby waters to support landing operations.

The three fleets set out at different times, but the goals were the same, and the time was calculated in detail.

Fan Yize got the detailed movement of the Japanese Navy in the first place, and the white tiger fleet, which had already been ready to start, also moved quickly.

There are only three Japanese aircraft carriers, which is not too much of a threat to the seven main carriers of the White Tiger fleet.

But compared with the number of existing aircraft carriers in Japan, the Japanese Navy's fleet is already a big meal.

Converged in the waters near Port Moresby, the main Japanese aircraft carrier fleet and escort fleet commander General Inoue U.S. Navy, its ambition is not only to landing troops escort, but also to try to find opportunities, a snow joint fleet of the former shame.
