269, Hawaii under the city 1
Command of the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy in Hawaii.
"Report to the commander, the military intelligence bureau called, a number of large Chinese warships in the Malacca Shipping Channel sailed for the Indian Ocean, suspected to be the main force of the Chinese Navy."
The commander of the Pacific Fleet, Bailey, waited and said to the staff officer: "Is the news confirmed?" Why the word doubt? ”
The staff officer said: "Because the Chinese navy operates at night and implements light control, it is impossible to confirm the model of the warship." However, the message has already been communicated to the headquarters of the coalition Indian Front, and the combined fleet in the Indian Ocean has sent submarines to observe, and soon there will be news. ”
Bailey said sharply: "I want accurate information, keep in touch with the Indian side, and report as soon as there is news." ”
"Yes!" The staff officer departed.
Admiral Kate breathed a sigh of relief on the side, he knew how powerful the Chinese were, and China seemed to have no good feelings for the United States at all. At a press conference on China's murder of millions of Western soldiers, the Chinese side repeatedly emphasized the bloody barbarism of the Western world, especially pointing out that the United States had slaughtered tens of millions of indigenous Indians in North America.
In fact, even if there is no Indian, he can understand China's rejection of the United States, when a large number of Chinese were sold to the United States as "piglets", countless Chinese died in the construction of railroad projects, and the United States also passed the "Chinese Exclusion Act", China may dare to be angry when it is weak, but now that China is strong, it is difficult to make China have a good impression of the United States just by virtue of the attitude of Americans towards the Chinese.
Bailey said to Kate with some smugness, "General Kate, you heard me. The main force of the Chinese navy has entered the Indian Ocean, and there is no doubt that they will continue to attack India, which is indeed the best place for them to attack. ”
Admiral Kate said: "It's just a suspicion, the news has not been confirmed." ”
"The news will be confirmed soon."
It's dark.
A huge fleet seems to be coming through the morning light, cleaving the waves and entering the Indian Ocean.
This is exactly the main fleet of the Chinese Navy, three Elizabeth-class battleships, three battle cruisers, three pocket battleships, after several months of repair and maintenance. The damage from the naval battle at Chittagong has been renewed. ceases to exist.
Lin Jianzhang and a young Admiral stood on the deck of the Queen Elizabeth, facing the sea breeze.
"It's unlucky. The main force of the dignified navy actually came to the Indian Ocean for sightseeing. Lin Jianzhang said extremely unhappily, "Xiao Sa, what do you call this?" Isn't that a waste? ”
Xiao Sa is Sa Shijun. He didn't dare to complain like Lin Jianzhang. Whispered, "Commander." Let's also serve the strategic plan. Besides, you also know the new fleet and tactics, and our capital ships are basically difficult to come in handy. ”
Lin Jianzhang's eyes widened and said, "Who said it couldn't be useful?" Do you want the capital ship to shell and cover when you land? ”
Sa Shijun said: "Commander." Won't our Imperial-class battleships be able to complete the task of naval artillery fire support? It was a 45,000-ton behemoth, and the main gun was a 406-caliber cannon, and it was also a triple assembly. As he spoke, he said solemnly, "Commander, our fleet has entered the Andaman Sea, and there are already enemy submarine activities in this area, so we should be careful." ”
Lin Jianzhang sneered: "They still dare to come? Just take it for the first time. ”
Before the words fell, a staff officer ran out and said: "Report to the commander and captain, the sonar radar shows that there is an anomaly three thousand meters on the left, and it is suspected that it is an enemy submarine." ”
"Good time!" Lin Jianzhang perked up, and he really wanted to order the other party to be killed, but remembering their task, he could only say stupidly, "Forget it, let him go." ”
Thousands of meters away, a tube sticks out of the water, carefully observing this huge fleet.
"God, it's really the main force of the Chinese Navy. Damn, they really want to conduct a login operation in South India. Inside the submarine, a French captain was so nervous that cold sweat flowed down his forehead. He knew that the Chinese's anti-submarine technology was very advanced, and the allied submarines were sunk by the Chinese side almost no less than 200, and it was very dangerous for them to approach and reconnoitre.
"Captain, our mission has been completed, let's leave!"
"Dive now, evacuate this area, and get the word out."
More than two hours later, the submarine surfaced in the "safe" sea area and emitted an electric wave.
The news of the secret entry of the main force of the Chinese navy into the Indian Ocean shook the Indian front, and the atmosphere along India's southeast coast became extremely tense. You must know that it is very convenient for the army to falsify its operations, and it only needs to change the number of the moving unit, and the unit can also choose to change the defense of the unit, and it is easy to hide from the world. But it's too difficult and too difficult for the Navy to camouflage, especially China, where to get a few battleships and battlecruisers to camouflage?
For this reason, the news of the entry of the main forces of the Chinese Navy into the Indian Ocean is undoubted.
When Admiral Kate of the US Pacific Fleet Command got the news, he was completely relieved.
Commander Bailey waved a telegram and laughed: "Dannat, they are really pitiful, the Chinese are looking for trouble with them again." After a pause, he said, "Since the goal of the Chinese is not us, then General Kate, tomorrow is the weekend, why don't we hold a ball?" Just a belated reception for you? ”
"Thank you." Admiral Kate replied with a smile -
A chuckle came from the command hall of the Ministry of Defense in Nanjing.
"Great, the coalition really thought we were going south." Li Huashan looked quite excited.
With the "leakage" of the news that the main force of the Chinese Navy appeared in the Indian Ocean, the Indian Front of the coalition forces urgently mobilized, and a large number of ground troops and air forces reinforced India's southeast coast, attaching great importance to reconnaissance in the Indian Ocean.
Li Bufan nodded and said, "That's what I want." When will Lee's navy be able to attack? ”
Li Huashan looked at the sand table and said: "In order to ensure victory, this operation is extremely cautious. We circumnavigated the 1,000-kilometer periphery of Midway, taking a very dangerous and completely unfamiliar route, and judging by the voyage, we could reach the 300-kilometer periphery of Hawaii in the early hours of tomorrow morning. At present, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the entire fleet uses radio silence, and the exact information can only be known if it is attacked. ”
Li Bufan frowned and said, "What day is tomorrow?" ”
"Saturday! On weekends, as is customary in the West, there may be worship and revelry on the weekends. ”
Li Bufan smiled fiercely: "Very good! ”
Li Huashan said with a smile: "Nowadays, Westerners think that we are going to go south in a big way, and our precautions must be relaxed, especially on weekends. According to normal thinking, even if we want to capture Hawaii, we must first capture Midway, because Midway can support the fleet's fuel to and fro, but Hawaii cannot, take Midway, reserve supplies and oil at Midway, and then enter Hawaii. ”
Li Bufan heard Wu Enemy say that this was what little Japan did in World War II in history, but unfortunately little Japan suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Midway and failed to accomplish the set strategic goals. He nodded and said, "How strong are the patrols of the Americans?" Are we still vigorously tracking down our submarines? ”
"Our submarine has already made an appearance in Tokyo, and the experts brought back have been specially featured in the newspaper media, and the range of the US military in Hawaii has been reduced to 300 kilometers." Li Huashan explained, and then said with a smile, "We will launch an attack from 300 kilometers away, destroy the fortress batteries of the US air force and naval base in Hawaii and the main force of their Pacific Fleet, and clear the way for the landing operation." ”
Li Bufan said thoughtfully: "The three general-class aircraft carriers 'Wei Qing', 'Huo Quai', and 'Li Jing', six light aircraft carriers, a total of more than 500 aircraft, I don't know if they can destroy the enemy's resistance on the basis. ”
Li Huashan said with a smile: "The Americans thought that Hawaii was extremely safe, just as we thought that the first island chain was absolutely safe, and did not deploy many air defense weapons, after all, aircraft carriers were put into battle as the main force of the navy, and this is the first time." Moreover, the Indian side is facing tremendous pressure from our army, and the main force of the enemy in the South Seas is the US army, which has suffered from our army's air raids, and a large number of air defense weapons produced by the West are inclined to these two lines of defense, and Hawaii has very few air defense weapons. Moreover, our reconnaissance of Hawaii was very accurate. ”
Li Bufan could hear the tone of Li Huashan's last sentence, that is, Li Hengshan's base vehicle specially infiltrated the coastal waters of Hawaii to reconnoitre, and with the holographic scanning of the base vehicle, Hawaii's defense was nakedly displayed in front of the Chinese side.
"As long as the Navy Heavy Oil Depot and the Air Force Base are not damaged, we will be able to maintain sustained combat capability after we take Hawaii."
In the darkness, a huge fleet of hundreds of ships sailed in the vast Pacific Ocean, and the speed of the fleet was only twelve knots.
In the command compartment of the "Weiqing" aircraft carrier, the west side was tightly covered by a thick black cloth, and there was no light visible from the outside. However, the command cabin was busy, and in order to ensure success, the staff officers had to do their best to accurately calculate the position and distance.
"Report to the commander, chief of staff, we are now seven hundred kilometers from Hawaii."
Li Haijun and Sa Zhenbing frowned slightly: "Seven hundred kilometers? ”
Sa Zhenbing said: "Commander, we must rush to the Hawaiian sea area within 300 kilometers before the early hours of tomorrow, we can't do it at our current speed." ”
Li Haijun nodded and said, "Leave two layers of warships to guard the transport and supply ships, and the rest of the warships will move forward at full speed." ”
Sa Zhenbing hesitated and said, "Two-story warship? Is it a little less? There are more than 80 supply ships and troop carriers, and in case of a loss, we will not even be able to go back, let alone ensure our continued combat capability. ”
Li Haijun said in a deep voice: "Then it depends on whether our first wave of attacks is good enough, so it's decided." Tomorrow at dawn, I'm going to make our HNA bomb the last breakfast for Americans! (To be continued......)
