"Have you been able to contact someone on Niihau?" Before the telegraph operator could come in, Nimitz asked eagerly,

"Nope." The telegraph operator shook his head in frustration,

"It's over." Nimitz's first reaction to this was that he felt that he cared too much about the so-called democracy and freedom, and that the national disaster was at the head, and those things were all bullshit.

The phone rang, Nimitz picked up the phone and said, "Hello." ”

The other end of the phone said anxiously: "Sir, there are a large number of planes hovering above Nihau, and I guess Chinese paratroopers have landed there." ”

"I see." The news was confirmed, Nimitz was even more frustrated, Niihau Island is a big island, which is occupied by the squadron, then the Chinese can use this as the center to seize Kauai, attack other islands, and then seize the whole of Hawaii,

Now that Necker Island is north-west of Kauai has been lost, and Johnston Road, which hangs alone, has also been occupied by the squadron, it can be said that Oahu is surrounded by the squadron on all sides.

"Organize the troops immediately, and you must retake Niihau Island for me." Nimitz said angrily,

"Yes, General." The Central Asian parallel of Niihau Island is self-evident, especially after the Chinese have that strange plane, the loss of Niihau Island has become a great threat, and the Chinese now land on Kauai Island without the navy at all, as long as the helicopter transports soldiers they can land at any point,

At this time, it was six o'clock in the morning, and with the help of paratroopers, a simple runway was successfully opened on the island of Nihau, China, although it was dangerous to land heavy bombers, but there was no problem in landing J-1 fighters.

At the same time, Necker Island has also split a runway, where 30 aircraft can also take off and land, fortunately propeller aircraft are not so strict on the runway, unlike jet aircraft,

And Chinese planes and missiles have not stopped attacking Hawaii's islands, but now Huang Feihu has removed a missile launcher on a runway.

The runway was covered with planes taking off, and behind them were 300 planes and pilots of the army on transport ships, who would make up as soon as the planes on the front line were taken out,

In short, the Beiyang Fleet, the ship-island aircraft carrier, and the aircraft on Necke Island take turns to fight, just to attract American planes and not let them have enough energy for you Niihau Island.

The soldiers on the island were digging fortifications on the one hand, and on the other hand, they were building airstrips, and at the same time, the paratroopers were also continuing to parachute, and by 8 o'clock in the morning, the squadron on the island had increased to 4,000 people.

At the same time, some small transport planes landed in the airstrip on the island, and a number of artillery and medium and light tanks were transported, as well as some supplies, with which the marines had much more confidence to defend the island.

Because the troops are not sufficient, and there are many places where the island can land, but a real large-scale landing still needs a wharf, so the Chinese soldiers blew up part of the wharf, leaving only two wharves for their own use.

The wharf was originally used by the islanders for fishing, and they were almost isolated from the world, and they had no money, let alone money to build a modern wharf, so the wharf was built with stones and trees, and it was very easy to blow up.

Nimitz is now very anxious Although they have 60,000 army soldiers stationed on the islands of Hawaii, and a large number of air forces, it is very easy to force a landing on Niihau Island at all costs, but the Chinese Air Force is circling on the island, and the squadron on Niihau Island is probably several thousand, at least 3 or 4 thousand people, so the US military must send more US troops to seize this island, at least 10,000 people,

How to do this, then the defense of the other islands will be greatly reduced, and he has air supremacy, Nimitz is worried about fighting a war of attrition, in this way, it is to find his own death, which is why they have not attacked at 8 o'clock, he hesitated, if the mainland can provide support at any time, provide support in all aspects, he will not have to worry about anything,

"General, if we can't fight, the air force on Kauai Island has already run out, and nearly 100 planes on Oahu have also been blown up by Chinese missile attacks, plus air battles, we have already lost more than 200 planes, and it is estimated that we can only hold out for two or three days before there are no planes available, and then Chinese planes will drop bombs on our heads, and the army will be annihilated before they see the Chinese."

Nimitz was very hesitant, it seemed that whether to fight or not would be detrimental to the US guards, but sitting and waiting for death was not the style of the Americans, Nimitz gritted his teeth and said: "Fight." ”

Nimitz's attitude was very resolute, they concentrated 3,000 troops from Kauai and planned to land directly on Niihau, while the troops on other islands did not come so quickly, and they did not dare to withdraw all the land forces on Kauai Island, otherwise if the Chinese paratroopers were airborne, wouldn't it be a handful of rice to steal chickens.

They are very familiar with the situation on Niihau Island, this island is not big, although they did not board it, but they know the basic situation of the island very well from the map provided by the air force and the islanders, and they also know several ports on the island for them, but the squadron blew up those ports in the southeast, as well as the north, and the Chinese only kept two ports in the west,

It is obviously impractical to land from the west, Chinese submarines and aircraft are active here, and it is most appropriate to attack in the southeast, at least under the water there are no American submarines to control,

"Mitchell, let the naval fleet stop participating in air battles, I believe that the Chinese Navy is a few hundred kilometers to the southwest or northwest, let the boys clean up this Chinese Navy."

"When will the army attack, the forces we are concentrating on now will not have an advantage."

"Don't worry, didn't the Chinese Air Force bomb us, we will also bomb the squadron on Niihau Island now, I believe that our Air Force will bomb Niihau, and the squadron will inevitably go to support, we will have the initiative, and the defense of other islands will be much smaller."

"I'm going to attack before 12 noon, and you have the troops on the other islands hurry, and then we'll annihilate the Chinese defenders in one fell swoop."

"Okay, but it will take three or four hours to wait, the Chinese missiles and planes have been circling over our heads, bombing, and we don't know what it will be like after three or four hours."

Nimitz sneered and said: "So it depends on whether our fleet is strong, if they can find the Chinese fleet and destroy them, then it is worth our losses, after all, the Chinese are a new country, it will take at least half a year or even half a year to recover their strength again, and they may not have relevant personnel, look at them actually want to risk capturing our aircraft carriers, you know that they are very short of warships." ”

"I understand, our current attack may not be able to achieve any effect, the Chinese are afraid that they will occupy Niihau Island before dawn, they have consolidated for several hours, plus we have not landed on the island before, and the personnel are not sufficient, so we may not be able to win in one blow, so fortunately wait for a few hours, the Chinese navy is on the ship after all, and when these planes are exhausted, they will be weak, and the pressure on our landing troops will be much less, and even the Chinese defenders will not be supported by the air force, When the time comes, we will be able to easily seize the island of Niihau, and the planes on the Chinese aircraft carriers will run out, and when our aircraft carriers attack them, they will have no resistance and will eventually have to be sent into the sea to feed the fish. ”

"Haha, that's what I mean, but I never understand where the Chinese' land-based planes come from, to say that those islands are so small that they can't accommodate so many planes, and those planes like P51 can't take off from aircraft carriers, because it is impossible to fit so many."

At this time, Huang Feihu and others discussed the next battle plan, and the capture of Niihau Island was very smooth, and the smooth was unexpected, they didn't expect that the war had been fought for a few years, and the Americans didn't have troops on the island, and they even once suspected that the Americans had any conspiracy, but after catching the natives and interrogating them, they felt that it shouldn't be, and those natives seemed very innocent, accusing the squadron of invading their homes and hurting them.

Think about what conspiracy the Americans can play, the American fleet has suffered heavy losses, and although the remaining strength is also very strong, but now it can only be said that it is comparable to the strength of the Chinese fleet, and it is impossible for the Americans to give up Niihau Island to play any conspiracy, of course, Huang Feihu and others believe that the most important evidence that the Americans have no conspiracy is that there is no trace of the American fortifications on Niihau Island, and it is impossible to completely erase it if there are Americans.

"Commander, at the moment, the Americans may have discovered that we have seized Niihau, which is equivalent to opening a hole in his defense system, they cannot sit idly by, I think they must have been planning to seize Niihan, or even waiting to attack."

"Yes, I think so too, they can basically attack to the west, and this island is a volcanic island, there is no beach, but the coast is relatively steep, but we can land anywhere, our troops are not sufficient, we can't defend everywhere, so their landing is probably inevitable."

"Well, in addition, we have to be wary of their navy, they have at least six main aircraft carriers, and there are many aircraft carriers that can carry more than ten or twenty aircraft, although these aircraft carriers are not to worry about in front of the main aircraft carriers, but our carrier-based aircraft have to support the air battle on Niihau Island, if these aircraft carriers sneak attack, they can also deal a devastating blow to our aircraft carriers, of course, their aircraft carrier fleet is the biggest threat to our fleet."

"The possibility of a sneak attack by their aircraft carriers is indeed very high, if they don't use it again, their aircraft carrier fleet will be useless, so they will inevitably find an opportunity to attack us before we attack Hawaii, at this time our energy is in the Hawaiian Islands, they will definitely think that we don't have a very heavy sense of prevention, and now is the best time to sneak attack us."
