Combined Fleet Deploys
Chapter 356:Combined Fleet Deploys
When the Japanese army began to sweep across Southeast Asia in the Second World War II area, the Japanese island of Okinawa, close to the Japanese mainland, also became the focus of the new war.
After the capture of the Ogasawara Islands in the Fourth Theater, all the Japanese barriers in the Pacific Ocean were cleared, and the soldiers of the Expeditionary Corps were directly aimed at the Japanese mainland.
At this moment, the Japanese headquarters also got the news that the Red Guard Empire had gathered heavy troops and would land in the Okinawa Islands.
The Imperial Council meeting was held again, and the main content of this meeting was about the Navy's operations.
By the time of the defeat of the Iwo Jima campaign, a large number of suicide aircraft had been organized on the Japanese mainland, and Niu Dajima had also brought 100,000 troops to support Okinawa to defend against the enemy's landing operations.
However, the Japanese joint fleet has never been dispatched, and there is still the last vitality of Japan.
At the Imperial Council, although the Japanese Navy's joint fleet still refused to go to war, the naval command department ordered the fleet to go to war for the honor of the Navy, and this time the combined fleet would have to go to war.
Fighting is a war, but how to fight this war is a great deal of attention.
The naval command was a suicide attack, and it was clear to the command that the combined fleet would never return once it had gone out.
But the war has reached such a point, and there is no way to attack.
Otherwise the war is about to end, what is the use of leaving this fleet?
In this context, the commander of the Shangyagawa Ching Navy, who returned to the country, as the commander of the joint fleet, led the fleet out of the waters of Okinawa to meet the enemy's fleet at sea.
Satellites in the sky, always paying attention to the movement of the Japanese fleet, the joint fleet once the action, the fourth theater of the Xuanwu fleet, received the relevant news.
The Japanese combined fleet formed two battle groups, one of six aircraft carriers, followed by two cruisers and twelve destroyers.
The other was a fleet of two battleships, consisting of eight cruisers and six destroyers.
The careful Japanese combined fleet sent a large number of reconnaissance aircraft to search around the fleet, while looking for opportunities to fight.
In the Pacific Ocean, 400 kilometers south of Okinawa, the Xuanwu fleet has long been ready to go.
If this time the Japanese joint fleet does not move, the basalt fleet will directly approach Okinawa, launch a strong attack on the Japanese joint fleet, and incidentally seize the air and sea control of the Okinawa Islands.
When attacking Iwo Jima, the Japanese Navy could hold back, and the naval command department also knew that the joint fleet was dead, so the combined fleet was still shrinking.
There is no way to shrink now, and the deployment of the joint fleet is also an inevitable result.
Compared with the historical joint fleet encounters, this space-time joint fleet is much better, at least not Yamak alone to face powerful opponents, and other warships exist.
But in the same contrast, the Japanese Navy is certainly more willing to face an adversary like the United States than an enemy that is completely impossible to win.
Although the Japanese combined fleet still has strength, the basalt fleet they face is a hundred times more powerful than the U.S. fleet of the United States at this time in history.
The battle was an asymmetrical battle from the beginning.
On the flagship of the joint fleet, the horn, Hasegawa Chuanqing quietly stayed in his lounge.
The huge tycoon, like a huge castle at sea, is also the most comfortable ship in the life environment since the development of the entire Japanese Navy.
Representing the soul of the national navy, the trumpet is also a symbol of the Japanese Navy, the trumpet is in the Japanese Navy.
That’s why the trumpet has been around ever since.
With the hope of the whole Japanese nation, but in the mind of Hasegawa, there is only deep despair.
This attack, the combined fleet took away all the fuel that could be taken away, but these fuel still could not support the joint fleet's long-term combat needs.
On the table in front of Hasegawa is a plan book that says "Battle of Heaven One".
It is a plan, but the content is not even a thousand words, the real content is only one, for the honor of the Japanese Navy, even if the joint fleet is completely buried, it must create more trouble for the enemy.
In fact, the Japanese Navy would like to hope that the joint fleet will last longer, attract the attention of the enemy on the sea, and strive for more time for Japan.
Hasegawa is Japan's last major general, he has no choice, if let him choose, he is still willing to stay in Tokyo, continue as a naval inspection.
“The twistle.”
A heavy knock on the door rang out, and a major general pushed open the door and entered, placing a telegram in front of Hasegawa.
“The report commander, the aviation team, sent a message that the reconnaissance aircraft of the aviation team, 240 kilometers east, found an enemy battleship formation, four warships, two cruisers and four destroyers, and the commander of the aviation team, Lieutenant General Luojiang, requested a fighter to attack.”
Hasegawa took the telegram, looked at the contents, and nodded and said, "You can go to war, but you must ensure that you kill with a blow."
The Major General took the order and sent a message to the air force.
Luojiang Liulang will be the old subordinate of Hasegawa Chuanqing, a very cautious carrier combat commander.
This kind of caution makes it impossible to make any big mistakes, but it is also difficult to make a miracle.
The contents of the telegram in hand were the reports sent back by the air team to the reconnaissance aircraft.
A reconnaissance aircraft found traces of the enemy fleet, but it was not the enemy's aircraft carrier fleet.
This is also in line with the idea of Hasegawa, he is not willing to meet the enemy's aircraft carrier fleet, his priority target is the enemy's battleship, or the enemy's transport ship.
Avoid the main force of the enemy navy and choose the opportunity to cause trouble for the enemy, which is enough.
Even if the military department let him come out with the joint fleet to die, but he could not directly all be loyal to the emperor as soon as he came out, so as to play the role of the fleet.
However, what Hasegawa did not know was that one day after the Japanese joint fleet left Okinawa, the basalt fleet also opened its pockets to welcome the arrival of the Japanese joint fleet.
All the movements of the Combined Fleet were detected, and the position of each Japanese reconnaissance aircraft was on the radar of the Xuanwu Fleet.
How could there be a battleship fleet that would appear within the range of Japanese carrier-based aircraft?
The Japanese reconnaissance aircraft that played the report was already blown into pieces by a close-range combat missile of the Wasp carrier.
The news is that the electronic warfare aircraft of the Xuanwu fleet was sent to the Japanese Air Force.
