Chapter 77: The Sword Refers to Hawaii

At 4 o'clock in the morning on November 21, 1900, at the wharf of Yokosuka Military Port in Tokyo Bay, He Meng and Fan Tao personally saw off the expeditionary fleet. In the morning glow, Nie Fengwu and Dai Hui raised their hands to salute, and their faces flashed with solemn expressions. He Meng said: "For the convenience of the title, during the battle, I called 501, Commander Fan called 502, Deputy Commander Nie called 503, and Commander Dai called 504. The task of fighting at sea and landing in Hawaii is entrusted to you, and I look forward to the news of your victory. ”

"Please rest assured that 501 will resolutely complete the task?" Nie Fengwu and Dai Hui spoke in unison. Fan Tao said: "I have said everything that needs to be said, I wish you a smooth journey." ”

Dai Hui and Nie Fengwu boarded the cruiser Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and with a whistle, the battleship slowly left the dock and sailed towards the group of battleships lined up on the sea. At this time, the four aircraft carrier fleets were waiting in line on the sea, and the huge group of warships was mighty and majestic, and it had the potential to swallow mountains and rivers. There are four transport ships in the middle of the aircraft carrier fleet, carrying officers and men of the Marine Corps and special forces.

On the transport ship, Ma Kai shook hands with the commander of the Marine Brigade and said, "Brigade Commander Wang, we are fighting side by side again." "God is destined to be happy enemies with each other, so naturally they will never give up!" Brigadier Wang teased.

"Brigade Commander Wang, haven't you been too comfortable in the past two years, I'm afraid your hands are already itchy!" Li Tie hit Ha Lu Ha. "Vice Captain Li, aren't you the same? I'm afraid it's not better than us! "Ha Lu Ha! By the proverbs of the king brigade commander, one another to each other. "Emperor Wu of Han has left the dock and is about to set off for the battle" I don't know who shouted, and everyone's eyes were on the dock. Soon, the flagship Emperor Wu of Han joined the fleet sequence. The fleet began to move, a large cloud of smoke began to fill, and the huge fleet was magnificent and immense.

The fleet resorted to the Gulf of Tonkin. Then turn southeast and sail. Ma Kai, Li Tie, and Brigade Commander Wang took binoculars and looked at the deck of the aircraft carrier. "And voila! The fighters are all covered in canvas, and it is strange what it looks like. Li Tie muttered. Brigade Commander Wang said, "I heard that there are two wings, and they look like a big bird in the sky. "Nonsense, can you fly into the sky without wings?" Li Tie seemed to be dissatisfied with Brigade Commander Wang's cleverness, Brigade Commander Wang seemed to be very self-contained, and smiled slightly to show that he was not generally knowledgeable. Ma Kai said: "As for what it looks like, there is no need to worry about it. After the battle began, it was known. ”

At this time, a patrol boat sailed to the side parallel to the transport ship, and the flag whisperers on the patrol boat waved the flag to convey the command, and soon. A communications officer on the transport ship ran over and said, "Report, the former enemy command has asked the three of you to go to the flagship Emperor Wu of Han immediately."

On the deck of the battleship Beijing, Gao Xiang, the captain of the flight group, and the deputy captain of the squadron flew out. Look at the spectacular scene of the fleet going out. The mood is a little high-spirited. Perhaps it was the first time they had seen a huge fleet go out, and they felt extremely proud in their hearts, and the pilots on the deck were talking and excited, they were proud of the Empire's mighty fleet.

"Brother Gao, there is a new situation in the direction of 10 o'clock on the right!" Zhanfei shouted in surprise. Gao Xiang hurriedly raised his binoculars to look in the direction of 10 o'clock on the right side of the city, and found that a hospital ship was half blocked by a transport ship, and a group of girls wearing female soldier skirts appeared at the stern of the deck. "It's a nurse on a medical ship!" "I heard that the nurses on the hospital ship are all beautiful women." "Alright. Don't eat in the bowl and look at the pot, you and I have no drama. "I've seen it, can't I? It's not illegal! ”

Gao Xiang said with a smile: "I heard a joke, the sailors in the fleet, in order to see the beautiful nurses on the hospital ship, are looking forward to getting sick, if anyone is sick, everyone is envious to death, and it is a big wish of the sailors to be able to board the medical ship." It is said that the engineer of a battleship put his finger into the machine and twisted half of it in order to see the beautiful woman. As a result, the engineer did not go to the hospital ship, but was sent directly to the land hospital, where he lost half of his finger. "This kid is a bit of a fool, but this kid has a kind, if I really don't have that courage."

"There is a good saying, it is better to die under the flowers, to be a ghost than to be romantic, you are a full man and you don't know that a hungry man is hungry. Have you ever encountered that kind of situation, do you know that sailors train at sea, and once they are out of the sea, it will be a few months, and the monotonous and lonely life will make people have extreme behavior, and frankly this situation is understandable. The kung fu transport ship completely blocked the medical ship, Gao Xiang put down the binoculars, and saw that Zhanfei was still holding up his glasses to check, and couldn't help but shake his head. Looking around, I saw that all the pilots were looking in the direction of 10 o'clock, and it was clear that the magnetic field was too strong somewhere.

In the command cabin of the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Nie Fengwu said to the commander of the Marine Brigade, Ma Kai, the captain of the special forces group, and Li Tie, the deputy captain of the group: "The highlight of the Hawaiian Islands campaign is to defeat the US and British Pacific Fleets first. Ma Kai and Li Tie found that the walls around the war room were covered with maps, and there was a sand table in the middle, and the terrain of the Hawaiian Islands was very clearly outlined and lifelike.

"503, 504, I didn't expect the sand table seat in the Hawaiian Islands to be so exquisite." Ma Kai exclaimed, and Brigade Commander Wang also praised him. Nie Fengwu said with a smile: "Thanks to the Japanese, we found detailed information on the Hawaiian Islands in the former Japanese Admiralty, and these maps were also drawn by the Japanese, and they were actually detailed to every reef and sheep intestine path." "Great, it's so good for a landing operation!" Li Tie couldn't help but exclaim.

Dai Hui said: "There are a large number of Japanese living in the Hawaiian Islands, and the CIA has found out the detailed situation of the Hawaiian Islands through the Japanese. Dai Hui continued: "You see, from west to east, there are 12 islands that make up the Hawaiian Islands, including Kurey Island, Midway Island, Lysan Island, Koshonsky Island, Ghana Island, Neco Island, Nihua Island, Kauai Island, Honolulu Island, Oahu Island, Maui Island, and Hawaii Island, a total of 12 islands, of which Hawaii Island is the largest. ”

"Due to the excellent geographical environment of Oahu, it is currently the largest military port of the U.S. and British Pacific Fleet, and it is also the location of the Pacific Fleet Command. Maui, Honolulu, and Hawaii also have military port terminals, but they are not large. Except for these four islands, there are no military ports on the other islands, and only offshore patrol gunboats cruise. In recent years, the US military has vigorously expanded its ports on Oahu, Maui, and Honolulu Islands, and at present these three islands can berth more than 500 warships, large and small. ”

Nie Fengwu continued: "The islands to the west will not be considered, we must concentrate our superior forces, focus on Oahu, Maui, and Honolulu, and the entire Hawaiian Islands will be at our fingertips." "503, Hawaii Island is the largest, I'm afraid the largest number of guards, why don't you attack Hawaii Island first?" Mackay was confused. Nie Fengwu said with a smile: "Although Hawaii Island is large, the garrison will not be too many, as long as we take three military points, the enemy troops on the other islands will become turtles in the urn." ”

"The three of you are focusing on the topography of Oahu, Maui, and Honolulu, and according to the reconnaissance, the defense of these three islands is about 7,000 people, especially the fortress batteries of the American army must be captured to clear the way for the fleet to approach." At this time, the communications officer came in and reported: "The latest instructions from headquarters! Dai Hui and Nie Fengwu hurriedly left the war room when they heard this. The three brothers began to study the sand table, and their eyes invariably aimed at the key points marked on the sand table.

After a long time, Ma Kai said: "Brigade Commander Wang, according to the sand table, the defense force of Oahu Island is 3,000 people, Maui Island is 1,500 people, and Honolulu Island is 2,500 people. Oahu is the headquarters of the U.S. and British navies, and our special forces are mainly attacking Oahu, but they need the assistance of a regiment. "No problem, I'll deal with Maui and Honolulu." Brigadier Wang was very refreshing. The three brothers studied until the evening, when the officer on duty beckoned them to dinner, and realized that their stomachs were rumbling.

When I came to the restaurant, the meal was ready, and there was a bottle of Moutai on the table. The officer on duty informed them that 503 and 504 were studying the naval battle plan and asked them to eat first. After the three brothers were full of wine and food, they came to the deck. The sea breeze was blowing slowly, and the three brothers were much clearer. "Tell me, why is there no storm in the ocean this season?" Li Tie is in high spirits. Brigade Commander Wang said: "When I was in the military academy, I heard the geography instructor say that this has something to do with the direct point of the sun. Tropical storms usually change dramatically in terms of heat and cold. At the moment, it is winter in our northern hemisphere, so naturally there will be no tropical storms. ”

"What Brigade Commander Wang said makes sense, otherwise, why would you choose this season's expedition." Ma Kai laughed. "Alas! Both of your brothers went to military school, which is really enviable. Lao Tzu is either from a professional background or poor, and now I want to understand why I have been serving as a deputy. Zhuang Lei's kid has been promoted to army commander, and Lao Tzu is still a deputy captain. "Brother Li, if you are in the field army, I am afraid that with your talent, I will also sit on the throne of the commander, if you are not satisfied, we will change?" Brigadier Wang teased.

"If you don't want to, I'll send you a report to let you go to the field troops, and your rank can be qualified as a division commander!" Ma Kai said half-jokingly, half-seriously. "Forget it, Lao Tzu has been working in the special forces all his life, and it is not Lao Tzu's temper to start from playing drums." Ma Kai smiled: "Brother, don't underestimate the three-year military academy, we can say that it has been reborn, you can't understand the ups and downs if you haven't experienced it." I didn't realize anything before, but now I feel it deeply. It can be said that in the three years of military school, we not only studied military theories, but also allowed us to gain knowledge, understand a lot of scientific knowledge, and understand what is going on in this world. ”

Tokyo Bay is more than 3,000 kilometers away from the Hawaiian Islands, nearly 1,000 kilometers more than the distance from the Hawaiian Islands to New York, so the fleet has to sail at full speed at 20 knots per hour for half a month, so the sea journey is very boring. The three brothers took advantage of the ample time of the trip to almost memorize the delicate situation of the Hawaiian Islands, creating the minimum conditions for the landing operation.

Four aircraft carrier fleets are cleaving the waves and slashing towards the Hawaiian Islands, and the biggest naval battle in the history of the world's war will begin??????。
