Chapter 034: Ship Capture Plan
Dave quickly sent the results of the discussion to Spruance again, Spruance of course knew that Dave and the others were not wrong, but Spruance's consideration was not only in this aspect,
The White House has sent a telegram, asking Spruance to kill the Chinese fleet in the Pacific Ocean as soon as possible to save the turbulent people's hearts, and now the squadron has landed in Alaska, after fierce fighting, the US military will not be able to annihilate these squadrons that have landed, and the squadron is still increasing, and they can't do it in a short period of time if they want to eliminate them, and they may even not be able to do it.
The strength of the land and air forces of China and the United States is comparable, and China may still have an advantage in the army, but the navy is different, and the Americans are much stronger, so in the case of the war in Europe and the war in Alaska, the White House can only make a fuss in the Pacific Ocean, and it is very promising to defeat the Chinese fleet in a short period of time, or even completely annihilate them,
Dave soon received another telegram from Spruance, which read: "The allies in Europe are facing the attack of millions of troops from this German and extremely allied countries, the situation is not good for us, and even the situation is getting worse and worse, in Alaska, the squadron has also landed, which has caused great turmoil in the country, and many citizens have begun to flee the United States, especially those who have money can no longer sit still, and have transferred their property abroad, and their families have also been arranged out, if we can't win a battle in a short time, The situation at home will be even worse. ”
"General Dave, our country is a country of immigrants, and it is precisely because of this freedom, democracy, and war that it attracts people from all over the world to immigrate to the United States, but if there is no freedom here, democracy is not there, there is no artillery fire, and their lives and property cannot be guaranteed, these people will soon leave with their money, and their departure will increase the panic of others, so we must fight a battle with dignity and prove that the federal army is capable of protecting the lives and property of the American people."
"It's been a few days since you attacked China, if you come back or we send merchant ships to transport supplies and planes to you, it will take too much time, I'm afraid that the plan will not succeed, Chinese may not take the bait, so I'm afraid you can only sacrifice a few warships in your fleet, but I believe you won't worry, as the so-called old doesn't go to the new and don't come, we have a few aircraft carriers launched every month, so you don't have to worry about not having ships to replenish you......"
When the top of the Alaska fleet saw this telegram, many people were shaken, it turned out that Spruance was fighting this idea, they were all native-born Americans, and they knew American society very well, and Spruance's concerns were valid,
The captain of a cruiser said, "If that's the case, then I'm afraid we'll have to be the bait this time." ”
Another cruiser captain said: "Yes, the landing of the Chinese in Alaska may indeed cause widespread panic among the people, may cause social collapse, then the United States will be defeated without occupation, the Chinese will destroy the United States without much effort, my family and I don't want to become slaves of those infidel yellow-skinned monkeys, if so, it is better to die in battle now." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Everyone responded,
Dave said, "It's not that bad, but what everyone means is that we agree to be the bait." ”
"Of course, I am willing to sacrifice my life for the sake of America." Everyone said,
"That's good." Dave and the others immediately reported the situation to Spruance after discussing and agreeing, and then they started to act.
And the Beiyang Fleet is still cautiously searching at the moment, and they don't have much hope of finding this fleet at the moment, but at three o'clock in the afternoon, they found that the telegrams of the American army began to be frequent, and they were every once in a while, if this is the case, they can judge the position of the American fleet according to the position of the radio,
Huang Feihu quickly ordered the submarine to search towards the target area, and at this moment they didn't know that this was a conspiracy, a huge conspiracy,
And at this moment, the Alaskan fleet arrived in the waters northeast of Nantori Island, where they parted ways with the battleships, and the remaining two aircraft carriers, one destroyer, and four destroyers, and a dozen or so other small ships, of course, there were six submarines in the sea, and they were naturally overboard people waiting for rescue.
The U.S. Task Force 14 and 15 sailed south and southwest from the north of Midway, forming a strange triangle between the three.
The next day, on July 23, the submarine discovered the fleet, which was the American fleet by observation, and at this time there was only this fleet in the direction of Japan.
However, to the surprise of the Chinese submariners, this fleet that attacked China was so sparsely shipped, with only two aircraft carriers, one destroyer, four destroyers, and a dozen or so other ships, and of course a few of their kind.
There is no doubt that they did not suspect anything, they thought that if it was a sneak attack and bombing, the other ships would not need much, and after entering the aviation age, they would be vulnerable to the threat of aircraft, so the submarine officers and men felt that such a configuration was very reasonable, and they could travel lightly, and the loss was not big if they were discovered.
The news was immediately transmitted to Huang Feihu, and the radio surveillance of Dave and others had captured the radio waves of the submarine, and they also transmitted the news back to the task force.
When Spruance felt that the fish was about to be baited, Huang Feihu and others were thinking about it, and Huang Feihu keenly felt that things were not simple.
Why did the US fleet, which had disappeared without a trace before, suddenly make such a big move, the US fleet is more than 100 kilometers northeast of Minamitorishima Island in Japan, and more than 1,400 kilometers away from Wake Island, the closest thing to the United States, it is obvious that it will take more than two hours for the US Air Force to support this fleet, and if they can successfully attack this fleet, they can completely retreat.
However, Huang Feihu has a feeling that this matter will not be so simple, the Americans must have some conspiracy, the two fleets of the United States have always been a haze on Huang Feihu's head, Huang Feihu thinks that the Americans may want to use that fleet as bait to lure them into the bait, and then annihilate them.
Huang Feihu told the captains of the ships about his guesses, and the captains of the ships also thought that it was very possible.
Li Huixian, commander of the 101 aircraft carrier, said: "This possibility is indeed very large, just imagine, as long as the US troops quietly return to Hawaii, even if it goes around a big circle, it doesn't matter, they are not short of warships, lack of personnel, so the United States does not rely on them, for them as long as they save their lives, but now they are so wanton in the first telegram, obviously will expose their position, if they are a complete fleet or this is not the era of air supremacy, then they may have some reason for doing this, But it is very likely that there is a conspiracy, but now that their supplies have been exhausted, and the most important planes have been lost, if they are discovered, they will definitely be dead. ”
"If this fleet dares to do this, I'm afraid there is some conspiracy, everyone see." Li Huixian pointed to the map and said: "Although the islands of the Americans are far away, they still have two aircraft carrier fleets and four aircraft carriers, and we have not found any trace of them, but they are definitely looking for us now, and they are probably also in the area of Nantori Island and Midway Island, but we don't know where they are. ”
Huang Peiyao, commander of the No. 102 aircraft carrier, said: "If they really have something to contact the headquarters, we are afraid that we may miss this good opportunity." ”
Wang Kai, commander of the helicopter carrier, said: "What we have to do now is to preserve our own strength, and then find an opportunity to annihilate the American fleet, the current situation is unclear, I don't think we should take risks, but it is not okay to give up such a good opportunity in vain, this is a crime." ”
"I have an idea." Wang Kai bought a Guan Zidao,
Wang Xing, the commander of another helicopter carrier, said: "Stop talking nonsense, talk quickly." ”
Wang Kai took a sip and said: "Now we all know the situation of the US fleet, they don't have planes, and their air defense capabilities are very poor, let alone take the initiative to attack, I think it's better to do this Our three helicopter carriers carry some marines to sneak attack them, we can let the helicopters carry the marines directly on their aircraft carriers and occupy the aircraft carrier, so that we won't save two more aircraft carriers." ”
Wang Xingdao: "This is not reliable, how can you say that an aircraft carrier has one or two thousand people, and our Marine Corps only has 600 people, and on average, on two aircraft carriers, one aircraft carrier only has three hundred people, I am afraid it is very difficult to get it." ”
Wang Kai said: "Don't worry about this, the officers and men of the navy are all technical arms, and they are good at naval warfare, but they are far worse when they are in close combat, and they definitely can't be compared with the well-trained marines, and the ones we brought out this time were originally intended to sneak attack the islands, and a considerable number of people are much stronger than the average marines, and our weapons and equipment are also very advanced, and the warships are equipped with long-range weapons, and there are very few weapons for close-range combat, it is estimated that there are some pistols and submachine guns, or some rifles." ”
"In addition, as long as these people are controlled in the aircraft carrier, Zhou Wei's American fleet will not dare to sink them, and we can also use this as a springboard to seize their cruisers and destroyers, which is such a large fleet." After Wang Kai finished speaking, he swallowed his saliva,
Everyone was also very moved by Wang Kai's words, if they can succeed, it will indeed be a huge victory, they should also be promoted, and they don't have to worry about no warships for them to play,
Huang Feihu saw that everyone was moved, and he said to Wang Kai: "Be specific. ”
