The fleet, which the Japanese Cabinet decided to repatriate from the Americas, was not a combat fleet in the conventional sense, but was converted from trophies seized from the ports and shipyards of the western United States by the Japanese Army that landed in the Americas. The Japanese Army units that landed in the Americas were also plundered everywhere www.biquge.info especially Florida, which had many ports and shipyards, was regarded as the key point of control by the Japanese army, and many of the captured ships were modified and formed into an offshore defense fleet, of course, the combat effectiveness of this offshore fleet has not been verified by actual combat.

The Combined Fleet's vital injuries have not yet been completed, and the Japanese Cabinet, which is now anxious, has no choice but to pin its hopes on that offshore fleet, not to mention that there are six aircraft carriers converted from large ocean-going freighters in that offshore fleet. The Japanese equipped the fleet from the Americas, Zhuo Fei did not expect this kind of accident, after receiving the urgent telegram from the military commander, Zhuo Fei immediately summoned his staff to discuss.

The umbrella dares to make moves against the Japanese mainland, and the biggest reliance is that the Japanese Combined Fleet has suffered heavy losses in the English Channel, and after a large number of new power plants and high-speed torpedoes have been equipped, the British and American joint submarine forces have shown great strength and are now actively looking for opportunities to engage the Japanese and German navies. If the Japanese pulled back the fleet from the Americas, Zhuo Fei was worried that the temporary fleet commanded by McHausen was not the opponent of the other side, but on the other hand, Zhuo Fei was worried that the umbrella would be dragged into the quagmire of war and could not extricate himself.

The development momentum of the umbrella has been very good, since the control of the five countries in South Asia, the number of troops under his command has exceeded 500,000, although the Jewish independent military after the detachment from the umbrella, but Zhuo Fei, who had long foreseen, then formed a Dangkou army, and expanded the size of the South Asian servant army from hundreds of thousands to more than one million. In order to attack the Japanese mainland, Zhuo Fei even took great pains to form an expeditionary force that was completely Chinese, but the reaction of the Japanese now is likely to make all that Zhuo Fei did come to naught.

"Boss, I'm not worried about the Japanese calling back this fleet on the mainland." After reading the urgent telegram sent by the military commander, Thomas showed a smile on his face. "The telegram of the military commander said that the fleet that the Japanese are preparing to call back is from the American continent, not to mention that it will take time for the Japanese fleet to return to the mainland from the Americas, and it is not difficult to see the problem if we only analyze the number of sailors and materials needed by a fleet."

Thomas's words woke up the dreamer, and Zhuo Fei, who was anxious, instantly reacted, the main force of Japan's attack on the Americas was the ground forces, even if their combined fleet also participated in the operation, but after the combined fleet was transferred out of the Americas, the Japanese sea surface forces in the Americas were only responsible for daily cruising missions. The Japanese army reorganized a fleet in the Americas with nothing more than ships captured from the West Coast of the United States, but the sailors needed to operate these ships and make them combat-ready would be a big problem.

The Japanese Navy may have enough naval officers, but they may not have enough sailors, thinking about this, Zhuo Fei's mood suddenly improved. "Send a telegram to McHausen at once, I want to know the exact location of the fleet, and the time of their attack on Downjin Bend." No longer entangled in the fact that the Japanese army was preparing to call back the fleet, Zhuo Fei continued to focus on the battle on Kyushu Island, whether the temporary fleet's attack on Karatsu Bay could be smooth would become a key to the umbrella attack on Kyushu Island.

"Boss, judging from the current situation, the attention of the Japanese army on Kyushu Island has long been completely attracted by our servant army troops in Nagasaki Prefecture. As long as our fleet and airborne divisions can reach the offensive position at the scheduled time, it will only be a matter of time before Karatsu is taken, but I think what we need to consider now is the plan after taking Karatsu. Karatsu is too close to Tsushima Island, and the Japanese troops on Tsushima Island will not sit idly by and ignore the temporary fleet, and we cannot waste our forces on Tsushima Island now, but I think we can immediately go south to attack Sasebo after taking Karatsu, and create an opportunity for the Dangko army to attack Kagoshima. ”

Zhuo Fei's original plan was supposed to be a sneak attack on Kagoshima by the US-Australian coalition under MacArthur's command, but since the Umbrella launched a landing battle on Nagasaki, MacArthur's side has been holding still, and he has also excused himself by saying that he is suffering from Yamashita Fengfumi's counteroffensive. In this way, Zhuo Fei will not have the idea of joining forces with the United States and Australia to take Kyushu Island, this will listen to his staff say that he will send the Dangkou army in advance, Zhuo Fei secretly thought about it, and thought that this was a good move.

It was not only Zhuo Fei's original intention to build a frontier airport in Karatsu, but Kagoshima seemed to be more suitable for building a frontier airport under the umbrella than Karatsu. After carefully reading the map and listening to the opinions of his staff, Zhuo Fei sent someone to summon the command of the Dangkou army to hold a meeting with him, since the battle curtain has been opened, the protective umbrella must go all out, Zhuo Fei has been prepared for the Dangkou army must bear large casualties.

Unlike Zhuo Fei's staff, the commanders of the Dangkou Army are more concerned about how Zhuo Fei will be equipped with the assist force, and the servant army will get the double assistance of the temporary fleet and the flying team when it lands in Nagasaki. "No, you don't have what you want, the temporary fleet has been transferred to other places by me, and all I can guarantee is no more than 5 escort warships and 100 bombers to participate in the battle."

Zhuo Fei's answer made the commanders of the Dangkou Army fall to the bottom in an instant, and the weapon-only theory was very popular in the Dangkou Army, relying on superior firepower, the Dangkou Army had been pressing the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula at that time. But now, when the Dangko army is about to cross the sea, it can't get more help than the servant army, which is somewhat difficult for the commanders of the Dangkou army to accept. Looking around at everyone, seeing everyone's looks and reactions, Zhuo Fei secretly laughed in his heart.

"What? Without fleets and planes, none of you would have been at war? I remember that when you were fighting the Japanese on the Korean Peninsula, there didn't seem to be a fleet to provide you with fire support, and there wasn't a lot of air power that our umbrella could use. If I'm scared, I can change someone who is more suitable than you to command the troops. Zhuo Fei's words were very plain, but he was a little heartbroken when he heard it, and the officers present shook their heads one after another, saying that they would take Kagoshima according to the battle plan.

Rewards and punishments have always been Zhuo Fei's means of commanding the army, and seeing that the officers had already relented, Zhuo Fei immediately smiled and said, "You guys, I just can't see that others have been treated better than you." At present, the servant army has almost controlled the entire Nagasaki Prefecture, and the attention of the Japanese army on Kyushu Island is also focused on the servant army, and their strength in Kagoshima is less than two wings. With this idea, the Japanese army can't afford me to call in the fleet and all the planes to help in the battle, and I don't believe that your Dangkou army can't even eat two wings of Japanese troops. ”

The original direction of attack of the Dangkou Army was Tangjin Bay, which would have heard Zhuo Fei say that there were only two wings of Japanese troops stationed in Kagoshima, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart, just with the combat effectiveness of the Dangkou Army, let alone two wings of Japanese troops, even if there were two more wings, I am afraid that it would not be the opponent of the Dangkou Army. "Don't be too happy, your mission is not only to attack Kagoshima, but also to march inland Kyushu as quickly as possible before the Japanese army on Kyushu Island reacts, and build a forward airfield for the flying team."

After repeated sand table deductions, the commanders of the Dangkou Army left Zhuo Fei's headquarters and returned to the troops to reorganize their troops, and Zhuo Fei immediately called the command of the expeditionary force to his own headquarters. The mission of the Dangkou Army was temporarily changed to attack Kagoshima, and Zhuo Fei could not sit idly by and watch the Airborne Division, which had been airdropped to Kyushu Island, fall into trouble, so after sending the Dangkou Army, Zhuo Fei decided to send the expeditionary force into the battlefield as well.

"I'll give you two days to prepare, and after two days, I'll send a fleet to take you to Nagasaki to take over the servant army's defense area." On the large map that had been hung on the wall, Zhuo Fei used the red pencil in his hand to draw a red arrow representing the route of the expeditionary force, and said to everyone. "When you arrive in Nagasaki, I will not ask you to defend the defensive area, and in a few hours, the airborne division, which has been secretly parachuted into the territory of Saga Prefecture, will join our fleet to launch an attack on Karatsu. Your mission is to launch a full-scale attack on Saga Prefecture as soon as you arrive in Nagasaki and try your best to attract the attention of the Japanese army on Kyushu. ”

Speaking of this, Zhuo Fei drew a circle on Kumamoto east of Nagasaki with the red pen in his hand, "This is Kumamoto, it is said that the Japanese army from Kumamoto is the most fierce in the Japanese army, I will order the bomber formation to carry out a large-scale bombing against Kumamoto after you set off, and it is also to remove a hidden danger for you." However, you must keep in mind that as soon as we make contact with the Airborne Division, we will immediately launch a joint attack on Sasebo, and it will be crucial for our follow-up operations to take Sasebo and open up the passage between Karatsu and Nagasaki. ”

Zhuo Fei did not tell the command of the expeditionary force about the mission of the Dangkou Army, because until now, he did not know what the combat effectiveness of the expeditionary force was. Between the Expeditionary Force and the Expeditionary Force, Zhuo Fei obviously favors the Expeditionary Army, which belongs to the umbrella lineage, and if the Expeditionary Force does not perform well in this battle, Zhuo Fei does not mind transferring the Expeditionary Force away from the front line or withdrawing directly to the country.

Because the Japanese cabinet was preparing to transfer a fleet from the American battlefield, Zhuo Fei had to temporarily disrupt the battle plan he had made before, and Zhuo Fei did not know that the Japanese cabinet had secretly sent a special envoy to Chongqing, and was trying to use various inducements to persuade Chongqing to completely dissociate itself from the umbrella.
