After Yan Renhao introduced the situation in detail, Hao Dongjue and Chang Jianxin were both thinking about it and did not immediately express their opinions.

"Report No. 371 cannot be fully trusted." Chang Jiexin broke the silence first, "Maybe they really killed an aircraft carrier. But who can be sure? Even if they don't know for sure, then we have to think about the worst-case scenario. The U.S. military still has three aircraft carriers, and it is still capable of posing a lethal threat to any of our task forces."

"However, there are only three aircraft carriers at most, and if we really fight, the US military cannot be our opponent." Dong Jue sneered, "Even if they let them attack first. The results won't change much."

"Dongjue, don't you think this is too rash?" Tan Renhao did not directly refute Hao Dongjue. He didn't think it would do much." If you don't think it's a big deal to kill the Fifth Fleet, then I'll leave it to Huang Xiaotian and let him do it. I don't care, anyway, the Third Fleet also needs to be tempered, especially the Yan Yulong and Zheng Guanhua Special Task Forces, and they need to get the opportunity to make meritorious contributions."

"Ren Hao, are you too kind? It's obviously fat, why should it be ceded to the Third Fleet? Hao Dongjue immediately became anxious.

"I don't want to, but our mission is to enter the Atlantic, and if there is one less task force at that time, I'm afraid the Navy Command will arrange for the Third Fleet to enter the Atlantic Ocean and leave us in the Pacific."

■Dong Jue was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what he meant by talking about Renhao.

"I've already contacted Huang Xiaotian, and now he's waiting for our battle plan." Hao Dongjue's depressed appearance made Tan Renhao want to laugh. But he couldn't help laughing." But well, since it's a door-to-door delivery, why don't we kill them? And we don't know how powerful the Falcon is at attacking the sea."

"Then we'll have to be careful." Chang Recommended New Says the Key.

"Yes. We must be cautious, we can't say that now that we have absolute superiority in forces, we can carelessly underestimate the enemy, and we can fight with the enemy to attrition! "Tan Renhao's words are specifically for Hao Dongjue, "Most of the officers and soldiers have been fighting for several years, for every officer and soldier, they want to see the moment of victory in the war, and hope to return to their relatives after the war is over, they also have such rights, they have made great contributions to the empire. As a fleet commander. As commanders and generals, what we see is not only victory, we should be more concerned about our subordinates, not the kind of fight with subordinates, you can joke with your subordinates, that is, care. As a general. Being able to get more subordinates to return to their local relatives is called true concern. Dong Jue. Do you understand this? ”

■Dong Jue nodded, he didn't dare to contradict Tan Renhao at this time.

"Then, we need a detailed and complete battle plan......"

I haven't finished talking about Renhao. Zhu Rongzhe ran in.

"What's the matter?" Tan Renhao looked at Zhu Rongzhe.

"I received a telegram. The place where the command came was sent in connection with the Fifth Fleet."

Tan Renhao immediately took the message, and after quickly scanning it, he laughed. Chang Jianxin then read the message. Then it was handed over to ■Dong Kaku.

"Looks like God is helping us this time." Tan Renhao looked at the two partners, "It turned out that Turner was in command of the Fifth Fleet, not Spruance. If the U.S. military lets Spruance return to the Fifth Fleet, I'm afraid we're in a lot of trouble, and this time the U.S. military actually asked Turner to command the Fifth Fleet, it would be killing itself."

"That's really good news, Turner is much easier to deal with than Spruance." Chang Jianxin also nodded.

■Dong Jue didn't express his opinion, Chang Jianxin had already said what he wanted to say, and he didn't want to be reprimanded by Tan Renhao again.

"And the Fifth Fleet is going to Christmas Island. It's good for us." Tan Renhao pondered for a moment, "One of our task forces is enough to deal with the Fifth Fleet. But to be on the safe side. And to sell a favor, let Huang Xiaotian and them come over to help."

Zhu Rongzhe has already gone to lay out the charts on the table.

"Submarine No. 371 met the Fifth Fleet again about 500 miles southwest of Los Angeles, and the Fifth Fleet's ground course was aimed at Christmas Island." Tan Renhao marked the location of the submarine attack on the chart, as well as the route of the Fifth Fleet, "If the Fifth Fleet still maintains a cruise speed of 16 places, then we have about five places to complete the deployment of the campaign. If Turner senses danger, he is likely to pick up speed, and the maximum sustained cruise speed of the U.S. fleet is 24. We only have 3 days to complete the campaign deployment. According to this requirement, we should sail in a southeasterly direction, probably at a speed of more than 24 knots, and try to intercept it in the southern sea, 500 miles away from the island of Tailayina."

"If Turner feels dangerous, he might abandon his journey to Christmas Island, or change course."

"If it's up to Turner to decide where the Fifth Fleet moves, he's not going to leave San Francisco." Tan Renhao raised his head, "Therefore, it is not Turner's idea for the Fifth Fleet to go to Christmas Island, but Nimitz, and it may even be a direct order from the President of the United States, and Turner has no right to modify it. There is only one possibility for him. That's to modify the course and try to avoid us."

"To the east?" Hao Dongjue frowned slightly.

"Whether it's east or west, Turner ends up on Christmas Island, not Oahu." Tan Renhao picked up the teacup. It was placed on the chart north of the island of Hawaii." Put the Third Fleet here, and if Turner avoids the ground to the west, he will directly hit the muzzle of the Third Fleet, of course, which is probably the least possible."

■ Dongjue and Chang Jian Xindu nodded, and a large number of air forces of the Imperial Navy were concentrated in the waters of the Hawaiian Islands. Turner wouldn't be stupid enough to fall into the net.

"On the contrary, there is a good chance that he will move the course east." Tan Renhao drew a dotted line near the American continent on the chart, "He would try to keep the fleet as close to the American continent as possible, and only turn again when he reached the south of the Revia Hihedo Islands, or even near Dominica and Costa Rica. Travel to Christmas Island from the east, not from the northeast."

"Then we should move the fleet to patrol the seas."

"Yes, when the time comes, we'll definitely have to change the patrol area." Tan Renhao circled two areas of sea on the chart, "We will first patrol northeast of Terrayna Island, and if Turner goes directly to Christmas Island, we will only need to patrol here for three days at most. In three days, if Turner doesn't show up, we'll be on the east side of Terraina. It takes a day or two to transfer. And Turner takes the eastern route, and he needs to talk for 6 to 8 more days. We'll have plenty of time to intercept it before it reaches Christmas Island."

■Dong Jue did not express any further opinions, and this time the ground combat operation was relatively uncomplicated.

"And what about the Third Fleet?" The new question is raised.

"You mean, if Turner takes a detour, the Third Fleet will arrange it?" Tan Renhao laughed. It's even easier when we move southeast. Just let the Third Fleet bypass Hawaii Island and go south to fill the hole we left behind, anyway, we can't let Huang Xiaotian have nothing to do, right? ”

All three of them laughed, no matter how Turner went, the Third Fleet would most likely end up working in vain.

"Do you have any other opinions?"

"Renhao, I think there's another way." Hao Dongjue's brain is not stupid.

Tan Renhao nodded and motioned for Hao Dongjue to say it directly.

"Why don't we let the Third Fleet go and get Turner out?" Hao Dongjue said as he drew a few routes on the chart. Turner knows for sure that we're going to intercept him, so he's going to be unusually cautious when he goes south. If neither of our fleets shows up, he will be even more confused, and may even turn around and return to San Francisco and abandon the operation to Christmas Island."

Tan Renhao frowned slightly, he felt that this possibility was not great, if Turner had the courage to disobey the orders of his superiors, then he would not be Turner now.

"It's not very likely, but it's not impossible." Hao Dongjue emphasized his own point of view. So we let the Third Fleet sail directly to the east . If Turner had already gone south, let the Third Fleet block his retreat back to San Francisco, and at the same time let the Third Fleet spread out and move south at high speed. When the time comes, Turner will have to go south, and we will only need to stay outside the gate of Christmas Island, and Turner will take the initiative to die! ”

"Will he go to the Hawaiian Islands?" The new recommendation proposes another possibility.

"It's possible, but as long as Turner doesn't know where we are, does he dare to go to the Hawaiian Islands? There's a lot of our shore-based air force over there, Oahu is about to fall, Hawaii is not safe, and he has no choice but to go to Christmas Island."

Tan Renhao nodded slightly. That's a good idea. Let the Third Fleet be the hunt

Dogs, we should be hidden hunters. But the question is, how to explain this combat operation to Huang Xiaotian? ”

■ Togaku scratched his scalp. I don't know, I just think it's more certain to kill Turner with such a deployment."

"It's really hard to explain to Huang Xiaotian, after all, this trick is to beat rabbits, the Third Fleet only has hard work and no credit, and Huang Xiaotian is not stupid......"

"Maybe. It doesn't need to say anything." Zhu Rongzhe interjected.

Tan Renhao looked at his chief of staff.

"I mean, for the Third Fleet, they're not without a chance." Zhu Rongzhe walked to the table, "Move the position of the Third Fleet to the south a little, if Huang Xiaotian can seize the opportunity, he may even catch up with Turner before us, I am afraid that by then the US Fifth Fleet has not yet entered the range of our bombers, and the battle will be over."

"Then we will be cheaper, Huang Xiaotian." ■Dong Kaku also discovered this vulnerability.

"Huang Xiaotian will definitely consider this possibility, if I were him, I would do the same." Tan Renhao sighed, "Then let's do it, instead of making Huang Xiaotian feel dissatisfied, let's have a fair competition, in the end, no matter who it is, as long as it can annihilate the Fifth Fleet, it will be the same."

"That's all it can be." ■Dongkatoru sighed.

Tan Renhao looked at Chang Jianxin.

"I don't have a problem, just don't let us go on a battlefield cleaning mission." It is often recommended that the third task force of the new land has no chance to participate in the battlefield, so he naturally will not have an opinion.

"Well, then it's decided." Tan Renhao didn't say too much, "I'm in charge of the overall battle plan, and I'll send it to you before dawn. Dongjue is still in charge of our ground aviation combat plan, no problem, right? ”

Of course, Dong Jue will not think that there is anything wrong with this, and it is the most basic ground aviation combat to attack a task force.

"I will get in touch with Huang Xiaotian as soon as possible. You also have to get the fleet into battle as soon as possible, and then I'll send you the new route." Tan Renhao stood up, "I won't leave you for supper, when this battle is over, we will probably go directly to Panama, and when we get to Panama City, let's have dinner together."

After sending off Hao Dongjue and Chang Jianxin, Tan Renhao first went to determine the route of Xindi, and then began to plan this ground combat operation. Before four o'clock in the morning, Tan Renhao sent the battle plan to the Third Fleet. Before dawn, Dongjue also finalized the battle plan of the fleet's ground aviation. At this point, a net of encirclement and suppression of the US Fifth Fleet has been spread, and there is only one fate waiting for the Fifth Fleet.

At that time, the first fleet's number one mission was to enter the Caribbean Sea, and as early as when Tan Renhao commanded the fleet to bomb the American troops on Oahu, he had already received a telegram from the naval command, urging them to get on the road as soon as possible and not to delay time on the road, and Tan Renhao had also determined to reach the Panama Canal as soon as possible. It wasn't until he received the news from the Kauai submarine base that he made up his mind to take out the Fifth Fleet before going to Panama.

Tan Renhao found many reasons for his actions, such as that after annihilating the Fifth Fleet, he could go to the Caribbean without worries. But in reality, it's all an excuse. With Huang Xiaotian in the Pacific Ocean, can the Fifth Fleet still make any waves? Tan Renhaodi's real purpose was to train the ground fleet air force using the new bombers on the Fifth Fleet, and at the same time to find out what the "Falcon" ground-to-sea bombing capability really was, so that he would have a deeper understanding of the fleet's ground air strike capability when he was fighting in the Atlantic. As for the arrangement of this battle, Tan Renhao is indeed a little selfish, the "steamed bun" of the Fifth Fleet is so big, the First Fleet can't fill its own stomach, and it has to be divided into a piece for the Third Fleet. Tan Renhao also had to be a little selfish.
