Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When this matter was mentioned, the commanders and chiefs of staff of several fleets of the Combined Fleet suddenly woke up from a dream. They nodded and expressed that they knew that it was an important move for Commander Yamamoto to make. If it were not for reinforcements for the North American battlefield,  The Army escort mission in the Australian battlefield, coupled with the sudden illness of Commander Yamamoto and his return to the mainland, I am afraid that the plan to go west to fight in the East Indian Ocean has already begun to be implemented!

    Hearing Yamamoto Isoroku's name, General Nagumo Tadashi's face became obviously uncomfortable. He didn't want to hear Yamamoto Isoroku's name on such an occasion, but he would never dare or cannot deny it openly.  What is the predecessor¡¯s battle plan for heading west to the eastern Indian Ocean?

    Who is Yamamoto Isoroku? In the Imperial Navy, he is a god-like existence. Admiral Nagumo can be dissatisfied with other senior members of the Navy, but only in front of Yamamoto Isoroku, there is no way to be convinced.  None, Yamamoto is also the idol-level god of war that he admires, and he was his former boss!

    "Chief of Staff Matsuda, since this is the combat plan deployed by Commander Yamamoto before returning home, it must be a well-thought-out strategy that can withstand scrutiny. Please explain it to everyone, and I will take the opportunity to understand it!" Admiral Nagumo said  His tone suddenly became gentle and he said.

    The unnatural look on General Nagumo's face fell into the eyes of Chief of Staff Matsuda. He felt contempt in his heart, but with a respectful expression on his face, he said: "Yes! Commander, I will follow your instructions!  "

    "To put it simply, the core of Commander Yamamoto's plan to use part of the main fleet of the Combined Fleet to head west to the East Indian Ocean is to cut off the maritime logistics supply line of the China Independent Division's troops on the Australian battlefield!"

    "Everyone knows that the East Indian Ocean is the China Independent Division on the Australian battlefield. It is the only and very important sea transportation line. If the combined fleet cuts off the Chinese people's maritime arteries, then it will be unfavorable for the Australian battlefield.  For the Australian Army, it is the greatest support!¡±

    "The Chinese have an old saying, which is called 'Taking fire under the cauldron!' This is the purpose of the plan formulated by Commander Yamamoto. Moreover, the joint fleet's mission to fight in the eastern Indian Ocean is to open up an independent battlefield, and all achievements have nothing to do with the army.  , we don¡¯t have to worry about making wedding clothes for the Army!¡±

    Chief of Staff Matsuda knows.  Although he brought out the shattered Commander Yamamoto's plan and convinced Commander Nagumo, after all, he is the current commander of the combined fleet. If he hesitates, the plan will still remain on paper. Only by impressing Commander Nagumo's heart can he finally  Only in secret can you succeed!

    Sure enough, after hearing these words, Nanyun Zhongyi.  Finally with a smile on his face, he said: "Very good, General Yamamoto is indeed the Imperial Navy, no! He is a legend in the imperial world. This China Independent Division that goes out from the East Indian Ocean to the west and cuts off the Australian battlefield, at sea  The battle plan for the logistics supply line is perfect. Chief of Staff Matsuda can distribute this plan to all fleets!¡±

    "After the meeting, you all will go back. You must carefully prepare according to the plan and wait for the order from the fleet headquarters. Before that, the first problem we have to solve is to provide the land-based aircraft group of the China Independent Division from the Southwest Pacific Theater.  Several heavy losses have prevented it from disturbing northern Australia. This will relieve our worries!¡±

    "From today on, the land-based aircraft group of the China Independent Division will have a new opponent in the northern sky of Australia, the carrier group of the Imperial Navy Combined Fleet. Gentlemen, we have been silent for too long, and it is time to show our sharp teeth.  !¡±

    General Nagyun Chuda's words were full of murderous intent, gearing up, and full of confidence. He had never fought against Le Yiqin's Southern Flying Group fleet, let alone suffered a loss. He probably still had no confidence in the combat power of the independent division aviation.  My impressions from more than ten years ago were all about the combined fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy, which was invincible in the eastern Pacific waters and taught the United States Navy a lesson.

    However, his confident words did not arouse the excitement of several fleet commanders and chiefs of staff present. They had personally experienced that in the inland sea and airspace of the southwest Pacific islands, the ace of the Imperial Japanese Navy - the Combined Fleet and China  The independent division's land-based aircraft group fought for three days and ended with the loss of more than one-third of the carrier-based aircraft. The lesson is absolutely profound!

    They also know that the Southern Flying Group of the China Independent Division Aviation Force is definitely a behemoth that is difficult to offend. The pilots are all a group of desperadoes. Its commander Le Yiqin is a master who is covered in thorns and is definitely not easy to mess with. Therefore  , I don¡¯t think much of Commander Nagumo Chuichi who is full of confidence and very arrogant. It¡¯s not that he is afraid of war, but he is just clear-headed. Only after suffering a loss can he understand what is going on!

    Nagumo Chuichi said so and did so. Under his order, the Combined Fleet was not involved except for the Fifth Fleet, which normally escorted the Army transferred from the North American battlefield to the Australian battlefield.Several other fleets in the combined fleet are actively preparing for operations in the east Indian Ocean from the west.

    The carrier-based aircraft force, which has regained most of its strength, has also laid down a tight line of defense in the airspace of the Timor Sea and the Arafura Sea, waiting for the enemy to collide. The carrier-based aircraft group of the Combined Fleet can be said to have every advantage, and the independent division  If the land-based fleet of the Southern Aviation Group Le Yiqin wants to continue its air strikes in northern Australia, the skies over the above two sea areas will be an unavoidable hurdle!

    The frequent activities of the carrier-based aircraft fleet of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet in the airspace of the Timor Sea and the Arafura Sea naturally could not escape the surveillance of the Southern Flying Group's ground radar stations located on various islands in the southwest Pacific. Soon, one by one about the Japanese Navy  Information on the activity patterns and scope of the combined fleet's carrier-based aircraft groups was gathered into Le Yiqin's hands.

    After reading the information, Le Yiqin used red and blue pencils to draw a red arc on the map of the Timor Sea and Arafura Sea airspace, and then fell silent.

    He Zhijun, chief of staff and director of the operations department of the Southern Flying Group, was standing by, watching every move of the commander. When he saw that he was silent, he couldn't help but said: "Commander, according to intelligence, the Japanese Navy's combined fleet is carrying  The aircraft fleet has joined the Australian battlefield, which is very detrimental to our bombing of northern Australia! "

    "Indeed!" Le Yiqin agreed with He Zhijun's analysis, and then said: "This is a bit strange. The carrier-based aircraft fleet of the United Fleet, which was more honest than rabbits some time ago, suddenly became proactive and was obviously heading towards us.  , you see, its range of activities just blocks the attack route of our fleet. Why did that old devil Nagumo Chuichi change his nature? "

    "Zhijun, convey my order. Each two fighter regiments will form an air group. They will carry out exploratory attacks on the Japanese carrier-based air group from all directions and airspace. If encountering interception by the Japanese carrier-based air group, return immediately.  , Don¡¯t be reluctant to fight. Remember, not a single bomber will be dispatched in this operation. I will personally lead the fleet of aircraft on the route closest to Darwin port! "

    "Commander, what is your purpose?" He Zhijun asked, not quite understanding.

    "Hehehehe!" Le Yiqin smiled slyly and said, "I still don't understand. That old devil Nayun Chuichi has changed his gender. I have to go and feel his water depth. Why are we bringing bombers?"

    "I understand!" He Zhijun said with a smile, "Commander, I think you are much more cunning than Nagumo Chuichi!"

    On the same day, the Southern Flying Group dispatched seven fighter groups and more than 800 fighter jets from 14 fighter groups. They flew across the center line of the Timor Sea and Arafura Sea airspace from different directions, heading towards various targets in northern Australia.

    Immediately, under the order of Admiral Nagumo Tadayama, the carrier-based aircraft fleet of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet was dispatched to intercept. The two sides encountered each other in an air battle. However, unexpectedly, the menacing independent division aviation fleet encountered the Japanese warships.  When the carrier-based aircraft group came into contact, it retreated without a fight and returned quickly. In compliance with the orders of the Combined Fleet Command, the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group did not pursue it.

    Such an unexpected result, the expected large-scale air battle did not happen, which made all the commanders of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet breath a sigh of relief. They were in the hands of these desperado-like Chinese pilots.  Here, I suffered a big loss.

    General Nagumo Chuda who received the report had a very contemptuous expression, and said a few words that were quite neat and contrasting, "It's a bluff, it's just that, it starts but ends, so there's no need to be afraid!"

    Le Yiqin's fighter plane was shot down at the Makassar Field Airport in Sulawesi Island. He jumped out of the cabin and said to the Chief of Staff He Zhijun who came up to him: "Nagyun Chuichi, this old devil, is really serious about it. Good guy, we are dispatched in full force."  Come and deal with me!"

    "The joint fleet of the little devils is behaving very abnormally. I'm afraid it has another purpose. Zhijun, I will dictate and send a telegram to the division commander immediately"

    On the edge of the Great Sand Desert in Western Australia, there are continuous, undulating sand dunes on one side, and a semi-desert landscape covered with grass and thorns, with low tropical forests flashing from time to time. This is a completely different landscape.  In the area, a mechanized force whose head and tail cannot be seen is divided into several groups and is marching rapidly to the west. This is a directly affiliated corps unit marching westward, marching on the edge of the desert.

    Artillery carts dragging large-caliber heavy artillery, rocket launcher carts, self-propelled artillery, tanks and trucks full of soldiers, logistics convoys filled with ammunition and supplies, long lines across the city, rolling up yellow dust all over the sky, speeding past for hundreds of meters.  Outside, it was impossible to see the target clearly. The spicy air mixed with the choking yellow dust hit people's faces. The sweat mixed with the dust made it sticky and uncomfortable.

    An armored command vehicle parked under a semi-hardened sand dune. In front of him was the spectacular scene of hundreds of thousands of mechanized troops marching. Tang Qiuli stood on the sand dune, wearing aThe battle uniform was covered with dust, and his face was the same as that of all the soldiers. Sweat mixed with dust covered the original face.
