The rear aircraft carrier battle group is taking advantage of the opportunity to travel, in the armed Xunyou, as much as possible to use one opportunity after another, to increase their own strength, although the aircraft carrier has not really been in the world, but for Wang Guangya, this is only a matter of time, such a powerful, combat effectiveness force, it is impossible to put it in vain.

The battleship in front has approached Guam, which is very important in China's plan, but here in the US military, it is just an island of hundreds of square kilometers of freedom harvested during the Spanish-American War, such an island is considered large in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, because in the Pacific Ocean, most of the places, are islands and reefs, and there are too few similar islands, but in this era, even if it is reached, even if it is a large-scale land, it is rarely developed, just like New Guinea in the hands of Germany. It is completely laissez-faire, and the question of air supremacy and the air domain has not yet been formed.

Guam is a huge island, the geographical location is a little awkward, before there was the Philippines, the United States two focus one is the Philippines, the other is Hawaii, as for Guam, it is too close to the Philippines, and there is not much area and interests, just as a dispensable existence.

After the United States lost the Philippines, Guam's status was improved, and he was regarded as the forefront of the United States to resist China's expansion, not only adding 500 soldiers, but also getting a batch of artillery fire, but these artillery fire was not at all a grade compared to the main guns of the battleships, and the army personnel were too small.

If this group of US soldiers had been transferred back from Europe, I am afraid that there would have been a little twists and turns in this battle, but this batch of soldiers was directly selected from the troops withdrawn from the United States and the Philippines, and they were still in the mode of fighting that the US military had before the outbreak of war.

On the island, some defenses are arranged, but they are still the kind of fixed barracks, making the barracks a little stronger, there are some artillery and machine guns, and there are no permanent fortifications or civil fortifications on the hill on the inner side of the island, these barracks, which look solid, have a strong protective effect for individual soldiers, but for the battleship's naval guns, it is simply a target, as long as the battleship's artillery fire comes, it will be broken directly.

Guam is very important, even under the premise of absolute superiority, they also chose the best moment, almost at ten in the morning, arrived at the open sea of Guam, this is a huge island, hundreds of square kilometers of islands, in the Pacific Ocean, it is extremely small, just a very insignificant part of the Pacific map, but when they really face it, they feel that it is huge, the side is more than 20 kilometers long, and there are even some peaks and valley bottoms, If it weren't for China's reconnaissance work a long time ago, high-altitude reconnaissance planes would have flown over the islands at least 100 times.

On Guam, all strategic targets are clearly reconnoitred, and every military target is clearly marked on the map, and the commander can easily find the location of the opponent and carry out the attack according to the map.

In terms of professionalism, the US military seems to be a little stronger than the Japanese, and has set up lookout posts on the necessary high grounds, hundreds of thousands of tons of warships, dozens of densely packed warships, unless it is in the dark of night, after dawn, they cannot be stopped at all, they clearly see the enemy attack, and issue an alarm.

The terrible sirens sounded on the island, and the American troops quickly switched from a state of sleep to a state of battle, and all the artillery and machine guns were already in place, ready to deal with the battle at any time.

It's a pity that the difference between the two sides is too great, the battleships with a command system can accurately hit targets 15 kilometers away, those fixed military targets, their protection can be said to be good, and they can also resist a certain degree of artillery fire, but the artillery fire of the army and the artillery fire of battleships are completely two concepts.

6 battleships, 54 main guns, all began to attack in the first wave, for a military camp that can accommodate 1,000 people, it seems to be a bit huge, but his land occupation is only hectares, a ton of warheads, easily and accurately hit the barracks, those can easily withstand the defense of ordinary artillery, under such shells, there is almost no difference with paper paste, and soon caused a large number of casualties.

The U.S. military is not the kind of person who can fight a tough battle, and in the island defense war, it encountered a direct attack by large-caliber naval guns, which is completely a crime of non-war, even if it fails, there is nothing to complain about, not to mention that it has caused more than 40% casualties, and they quickly raised the white flag.

The raising of the white flag announced the basic end of the battle, in Guam, there is not only such a military target, on the huge island of more than 500 square kilometers, there are many similar military targets, but you are the one who can pose a threat to the landing force, the battleship stopped firing, but all the gun ports are still aimed at this military camp, and the landing craft have also begun to prepare for landing.

When at least two companies of troops completed the landing, almost 600 well-trained and heavily armed soldiers landed on Guam, the war was equal to the end in a certain aspect, the American soldiers who raised the white flag did not do some radical actions, for these American soldiers, after this moment to save their lives is the best choice, in the face of the main force of the opponent's navy, including 6 battleships, a small Guam, can not stop the opponent at all. The gap between the two sides is too great, the Americans have no idea of killing themselves, since the other side has an overwhelming advantage in strength, and this island can no longer be defended, then surrender is an inevitable choice.

Guam is a huge island, with more than 500 square kilometers, and there are many military targets, and solving such a military camp is equivalent to killing the biggest target, but next, there are still many militants, plus there are still many indigenous people in Guam, and there is a lot of work to be done.

The battle of Guam, in the Pacific War, was not big at all, more than a dozen warships, more than a dozen merchant ships, more than 3,000 soldiers, it was solved, and even from approaching to occupying, it took only 2 days, and it didn't even take long to search for the enemy, but in Baotou, Yang Yuanzhao paid attention to this almost the whole time, and the famous US military base in Guam in the future is the most important naval base of the US military in the Pacific Ocean, except for Hawaii, and even the strategic fighters arranged by Hawaii, not as much as Guam, is too important for China's next strategy.

At the first time of occupation, Yang Yuanzhao issued an order to the central government, dispatching surveyors to the island as soon as possible, and it is necessary to carry out complete development on the island, a dock that can accommodate more than 70,000 tons of ships, simple repairs, supplies, and replacements, and even to a certain extent, a small shipyard, and a submarine dock to ensure that China's submarines operating in the Pacific Ocean can carry out a series of maintenance, refit and rest work, and then there is the minimum accommodation. Barracks for 30,000 people and a large military airfield.

Military airports are currently occupied islands, and airports must be arranged, even if there is a huge investment, some islands are even only enough to put a runway, after the construction, the most eye-catching thing on the island is the airport, but this is no problem for China, Yang Yuanzhao knows very well how important it is to build the islands that can be built to run, the aircraft carrier is very powerful, and the aircraft carrier is a moving fleet, then the island is an unsinkable aircraft carrier, accommodating the number of fighters and combat effectiveness, far more powerful than the aircraft carrier.

No matter what, the runway of the aircraft carrier can only be about 300 meters at most, whether it is the jumping deck of the Soviet Union, or the steam catapult deck of Europe and the United States, these can only slightly increase the strength of combat effectiveness, and the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier, at the top level, cannot be compared with land-based aircraft, whether it is combat effectiveness, or bomb load, there is a huge difference.

Guam is important because it is the most suitable place to build an air base, and in the future, Guam will need at least four runways of 5,000 meters, as well as 18 to 25 runways of various sizes, and with these, Guam will definitely become the support of this place, and will become a strategic location for the entire Pacific region.

For more than 500 square kilometers of land, the square of the city, almost 25 meters by 20 kilometers, 5 kilometers of runway, but the length is relatively long, as long as there is a suitable place, just put it down, Guam will become the most important support in the southwest of the Pacific Ocean in the future, he can take off and land the largest and most important strategic eight-engine bomber, and even in the future after the upgrade, you can also take off and land the largest number of aircraft, enough to protect the surroundings.

On Guam, 300 army forces were left for the island's defense and vigilance, and by the way, two light cruisers were left, and the fleet and the landing force marched in other directions, the north of Guam is the Mariana Islands, and the south is the Caroline Islands, which are famous large archipelagos in the western part of the Pacific Ocean, and these two islands are a lot larger, and the smaller ones are not necessarily unimportant, for the fleet, to occupy them one by one, this is the huge fleet from the Philippines, the ultimate goal.

The Caroline Islands are mainly coral reef islands, close to 900 islands, with a total area of only more than 1,100 square kilometers, an average of only one kilometer per island, unless necessary key places, most of them are not suitable for the construction of airports, to the Mariana Islands to which Guam belongs is more suitable, in addition to Guam, the largest, Saipan Island, Tinian Island are large islands with an area of more than 100 square kilometers, not Guam is so blessed with unique conditions, but it is also an A-class island, if all the three islands are military bases, It will form a solid triangle and become the most solid coastal defense base east of the Philippines.
