Chapter 61: Fiction and Reality (1)

"Of course, I have a follow-up battle plan, otherwise why would we take Jeju Island. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 When McHausen disdained to explain to his officers why the fleet wanted to return to the Jiaodong Peninsula, Zhuo Fei, who was far away in Jiaodong, was explaining his next battle plan to Vivien in the most concise words. "The British can no longer hold on, according to the information we have so far, although the Germans have opened up more landing sites by force, they have at least tripled the current three landing sites, and the British have suffered unimaginable casualties in order to prevent the German follow-up troops from continuing to land."

"If it weren't for the U.S. fleet attacking the Combined Fleet sent by the Japanese to the English Channel from behind, and inflicting heavy damage on the German submarine forces, perhaps we would have heard the news of the fall of the British mainland by now." The large map in front of Zhuo Fei was already marked with arrows and circles, and just as Zhuo Fei was talking to Vivian, an intelligence staff officer who walked in quickly from outside sent another piece of information, and the map in front of Zhuo Fei was again added with an arrow by the combat staff officer.

"Look at it, the Japanese army has gone crazy in the United States, with the Mexicans helping to lead the way, the Japanese army has increased its troops again, if they take the whole of Florida, I think the Americans should have a hard time." The intelligence staff sent information about the latest movements of the Japanese army in the United States, perhaps the defeat of the Japanese Combined Fleet in the English Channel caused the Japanese army to attack the American mainland to go crazy, and taking Florida would mean that the Americans would lose at least a third of the forces that built ships.

In fact, Zhuo Fei was not surprised by the power of the Japanese Combined Fleet in the English Channel, since the US Navy's Pacific Fleet suffered a big loss at the hands of the Japanese Combined Fleet, it has been studying the tactics and tactics of the Japanese Navy. This time, the Japanese Combined Fleet received an invitation from the German army and rushed to the English Channel to help in the war, but naturally it could not escape the attention of the US military, and the new Pacific Fleet, which had been reorganized, had been waiting for this day for a long time.

In order to rebuild the Pacific Fleet, the U.S. government mobilized almost all the shipbuilding manufacturers, and while the local infantry struggled to support it, the U.S. government and military secretly shifted the focus of their work to the rebuilding of the Pacific Fleet. The Americans knew that if they could not defeat the Japanese fleet and cut off the Japanese sea lanes, even if their ground forces defeated the Japanese army, it would be useless, because the Japanese could rely on the fleet to continuously mobilize troops to continue the war on the American continent.

At a time when the homeland was under attack by the Japanese army, the British mainland was about to be attacked by the German army, and MacArthur was about to counterattack the Philippines, the U.S. government and military remained steadfast in rebuilding the Pacific Fleet. At this time, the United States' powerful industrial base was in full swing, and when it learned that the Japanese Combined Fleet was about to rush to the English Channel to help in the war, it rebuilt the Pacific Fleet and equipped a large number of new weapons and equipment provided by the umbrella.

The machine-planted rocket weapons provided by the umbrella have become the standard weapons of US carrier-based aircraft, and US pilots who have used this weapon say that rocket weapons are more powerful than aircraft guns, and the lethal effect is stronger. When Zhuo Fei received the news of the new Pacific Fleet of the US army, the English Channel was already full of war, and in order to defend their homeland, the British pilots, who had always been arrogant, had to take out the strength to deal with the enemy.

The battle of thousands of fighters was unprecedented, the sea of the English Channel was full of wreckage, and almost every minute there were bombs that crashed into the sea, and the vast majority of these fighters who were shot and fell into the sea were German and Japanese fighters, because they were not equipped with air-to-air direct-aim rocket weapons that could be used for combat. The appearance of the new weapon caught the German and Japanese fighter pilots by surprise, and the new weapon used by the other side seemed to have a group attack effect, which also made the German and Japanese fighter pilots dare not gather rashly.

As the old saying goes, the soft ones are afraid of the hard, the hard ones are afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal ones are afraid of not dying, and the British pilots who are desperately fighting to the death at this time are probably some of them who are not dead. The death squad-like attack method was no longer the preserve of the Japanese and Chinese armies, and the British pilots who fought on their backs were also able to put everything at risk, including their own lives, and faced the crazy British pilots and sharp rocket weapons, and the German and Japanese fighters against them did not take advantage.

At a time when the fighters of both sides were almost defeated, the US air force, which had not yet made a move, made a timely attack, and the American pilots, who had benefited from the fisherman, almost used a sweeping advantage to drive back all the German and Japanese fighters that were going to attack. Before Goering could send a second group of fighters to provide fire support to the navy, a group of American bombers appeared over the strait, and the dense number of aerial bombs that fell almost covered the sky of the entire strait.

On the basis of the first generation of air-explosive bombs, the US military has developed an improved type of air-explosive bomb, which has increased the power of the air-explosive bomb several times in one fell swoop. The German and Japanese navies had never seen such a new type of bomb exploding in the air, and after paying a large number of fighter losses, the US-British joint aviation forces also inflicted relatively large losses on the German and Japanese navies, and the losses of the Japanese combined fleet were not small.

If the German and Japanese navies thought that this battle would end there, they were thinking of the wrong answer, and the combined American and British fighter groups not only dealt a head-on blow to the German and Japanese navies, but also the rebuilt US New Pacific Fleet subsequently joined the battle group. If the United States does not take advantage of this opportunity to inflict heavy damage on or completely destroy the Japanese Combined Fleet, the US mainland will always be in a situation of being invaded, and for the sake of the future of the United States, the US Government and military will not mind rebuilding the Pacific Fleet for the third time.

The German army was eager to use the strength of the Japanese navy to attack the British mainland to end the war in Europe, while the British, who were fighting a desperate battle, were fighting desperately with the strength of suckling everywhere, and the American navy was more like a chicken blood, trying to leave the Japanese combined fleet in the English Channel completely. After analyzing the comparison of forces between the European parties, Zhuo Fei just instructed the staff to pay attention to the war in Europe, and his attention has always been on the Korean Peninsula, and Sir James has not been able to see Zhuo Fei's shadow in several visits.

"The European war is too far away from us, and we don't have a navy, and that kind of high-intensity large corps combat is not what we are good at, so we don't need to follow the muddy waters." Zhuo Fei's explanation to Vivian was not perfect but not perfunctory, in fact, from the moment he learned that the United States had rebuilt the Pacific Fleet, Zhuo Fei knew that the U.S. Navy would seek revenge on the Japanese Combined Fleet sooner or later, but Zhuo Fei did not expect that this day would come so suddenly, and the scene would be so big.

"Our priority now is to hold Jeju Island tightly, and the Japanese will definitely mobilize aviation units from the mainland to bomb Jeju Island or the Jiaodong Peninsula, as long as we can withstand the attack of the Japanese aviation units and organize a counterattack in a timely manner, I dare to say that the attention of the Japanese will definitely be diverted to Jeju Island, and the Dangkou army will have the opportunity and possibility to continue to move south." After formulating a battle plan to seize Jeju Island, Zhuo Fei was secretly vigilant against the approaching Japanese counterattack.

At present, the servant army units that landed on Jeju Island are encircling and suppressing the remnants of the Japanese army, and the servant army units that were sent to Jeju Island by the second batch of the Provisional Fleet are stepping up the construction of fortifications and fire fortresses. In other words, Zhuo Fei was not worried that Jeju Island would be bombed by the Japanese air force, on the contrary, he was happy to see the Japanese mobilize aviation troops from the mainland to bomb Jeju Island, because he had built no less than five secret airfields on the Jiaodong Peninsula, and in addition, he also had three aircraft carriers that could take off and land fighters at any time as mobile hangars, as long as the Japanese mainland air force dared to come to Jeju Island, Zhuo Fei was sure to leave some or even half of them.

As for whether Japan will send ground troops to counterattack Jeju Island, it is not something that Zhuo Fei has to worry about, the umbrella is currently landing on Jeju Island are all South Asian servant troops, and those South Asians will be even crazier than the Japanese soldiers as long as they give enough money and materials. With a large number of fortifications and fire forts, coupled with a large amount of ammunition and supplies transported to Jeju Island, the Japanese army must face a frantic counterattack of more than 10,000 South Asian servant soldiers if they want to retake Jeju Island with ground forces.

Zhuo Fei's operational staff officers had already repeatedly deduced the offensive and defensive battles of Jeju Island, and as far as the current situation was concerned, if the Japanese army wanted to rely on ground troops to recapture Jeju Island, it was obviously impossible to do it without a force of 350,000 men. If the Japanese army of 350,000 men was to be sent to Jeju Island, the Japanese army had to use a large number of ships to cooperate in the battle, but the South China Sea Fleet of the Japanese army going north had already collapsed in Hangzhou Bay, and unless the Japanese army transferred the defense fleet that was firmly guarding the local waters, the counterattack on Jeju Island would be just a dream.

"If the Japanese army ignores us and takes Jeju Island, then we will implement the Brahma plan. If the Japanese army launched a counteroffensive on Jeju Island, it would inevitably mobilize the Korean defenders or the home defense fleet, so that whether the Dangkou army moved south or the temporary fleet attacked, it would be advantageous to occupy an advantageous position. As for those servant troops on Jeju Island, we have hundreds of thousands of servant troops in our hands, so do we still care about the loss of these 10,000 people? ”

Zhuo Fei's explanation was not thorough, but all the staff officers present had already understood what Zhuo Fei meant, Jeju Island could be used as a bait to attract the attention of the Japanese army, and it could also be used as a bridgehead for the war against Japan, but everything depended on the reaction of the Japanese army. Zhuo Fei had actually roughly figured out the reaction of the Japanese, and it was similar to what he had speculated, and the Japanese cabinet and military were very annoyed by the change of hands on Jeju Island, because as long as Jeju Island was occupied, the Umbrella would have the opportunity and possibility to directly attack the Japanese mainland.
