At the Baker Island military harbor, the cruiser Changjiang, the flagship of the 2nd Fleet, was moored at the pier. After the capture of Guam by the Imperial Navy and the occupation of Australia, the Allies quickly fled the islands of the Bosnia archipelago. In recent years, several islands such as Baker Island have built military harbors and docks to facilitate the docking of warships and cargo ships, and in addition, they can suppress the US fleet in the Hawaiian Islands. Now that the Hawaiian Islands are in the bag, the north and south have formed a echoing momentum, and a pincer offensive has been formed in the central Pacific Ocean, like two unsheathed steel knives, directed at Panama.

The Hawaiian Islands, like the Bosnian Islands, are about the same distance from Panama, and the capture of the Hawaiian Islands meant that the Imperial Navy had taken control of the Pacific Ocean. According to the strategic plan of the High Command, the 2nd Pacific Fleet should cover the main fleet of the expedition to the United States and launch a feint attack on Panama, not only to confuse the enemy, but also to entangle the US-British Pacific task force so that he could not interfere with the operation of the expedition to the United States. The 2nd Fleet of the Imperial Pacific had a total of 190 combat ships, including 4 cruisers, 12 battleships, 32 frigates, and 40 destroyers.

Baker Island is not big but very beautiful, the natural conditions on the west side of the island are excellent is the military port wharf, the whole wharf can only berth more than 10 warships, other warships must be moored on the sea. Baker Island became the headquarters of the 2nd Fleet, and at this time, Zheng Haitao, commander of the 2nd Fleet, and Shao Bo, commander of the 1st Army of the Australian Front, were standing on the pier, looking west, as if waiting for the guests to visit. After Shao Bo was asked back from Lanfang by Khaled, he served as the commander of the 1st Army. In accordance with the strategic plan of the General Headquarters, two corps were first requisitioned from Australia and stationed in the Bosnia Islands. Shao Bo's First Army was the first to be stationed, and the 2nd Army was being recruited.

The Australian Front still maintains 10 corps with a total of 350,000 troops. Among them were 4 artillery divisions. According to the strategic requirements of the headquarters, the Australian Front, including the 2nd Fleet, was to be used as a mobile force to support the expedition to the continental United States at any time, and at the same time, as a scavenger, to do some dirty work and other combat missions at any time, and the current task was to take the lead in launching a feint attack on Panama. Firmly entangle the US-British mixed Pacific fleet and play a role in confusing the enemy. “

Zheng Haitao and Shao Bo stood on the pier to greet the guests, waiting for the arrival of Wen Biao, the commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet. The Indian Ocean Fleet did not have cruisers. There were 12 battleships. It happened that the empire launched two new cruisers, and the Admiralty ordered all the newly launched cruisers to be equipped with the Indian Ocean Fleet, of which the cruiser Nanyang was named the flagship of the Indian Ocean Fleet by the headquarters. Wen Biao received an order from the headquarters to temporarily join the 2nd Pacific Fleet to fight. He immediately set out from the Indian Ocean with 12 battleships. and rendezvous two newly launched cruisers at the Philippine military port of Manila, heading straight for the Bosinia Islands.

"Commander Shao, time flies so fast, it's been almost three years since I separated from Brother Wen Biao!" Zheng Haitao sighed. Shao Bo said with a smile: "When I attacked Taiwan, I met Commander Wen, and more than 6 years have passed, and I didn't expect the Imperial Navy to be so powerful, I can't imagine it." Not long ago, the Imperial aircraft carrier fleet inflicted heavy losses on the powerful US Pacific Fleet. It's nothing short of earth-shattering. Commander Zheng, I heard that your fleet has also joined the aircraft carrier battleship? Zheng Haitao smiled: "It's not a secret. That's fake, including the carrier-based aircraft on the ship, and those models are just to confuse the enemy. "Commander Zheng, it seems that this operation is just a feint, and it also requires the cooperation of the army, this kind of confusion array is too realistic, and it is a bit unbelievable."

"Yes! The feint plan drawn up by the headquarters is almost a large-scale attack, this kind of large-scale attack is really rare, even we ourselves think that it is true, do you think the enemy will doubt it? "But my guess is that we, as a mobile force, will certainly not be a decoration, if the landing in the United States is successful." The defense of the US-British coalition forces in Panama will lose its meaning, and the US-British coalition forces will definitely abandon Panama, and we will still land in Panama. "Commander Shao, you are very strategic, and we have thought of a piece, our goal is still Panama, and we intend to open up the second landing field, but the premise is that it must be successfully landed in the United States."

The two brothers chatted casually, and with the shouts of the lookouts, the shadow of the fleet appeared in the distance. The huge body of the cruiser Nanyang slowly entered the dock, and after the battleship anchored, Wen Biao was extremely excited to quickly step onto the dock from the deck of the battleship. "Brother Ha Lu Ha Zheng, I thought that the conquest of the American continent would have nothing to do without me, but I didn't expect luck to come, and we can fight side by side again." The two sides hugged each other and were very affectionate. "Brother Wen, who do you think this is?" Zheng Haitao pointed to Shao Bodao.

"Commander Shao, no, no, no, you should call Commander Shao now. Taiwan has been separated for more than 6 years, and I didn't expect to see you here. Wen Biao held Shao Bo's hand and seemed to remember something: "Aren't you in Lanfang?" Added to the Lanfang Defense Army, how could he be here? "It was Commander Ha who brought me back, and now I am the commander of the 1st Army." "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, it's better to be in the Nanny Army in Lanfang, it's better to be happy in the Imperial Army." Wen Biao was fast-talking and excited, and several people walked towards the fleet headquarters with a smile and a smile.

Zheng Haitao did his best to be a landlord and hospitably entertained Wen Biao. After a few glasses of wine, Wen Biao was a little jealous and said: "Dai Hui, that kid is having a good time this time, commanding the aircraft carrier fleet to strike in the air, that scene must be shocking." It's a pity that we don't even know what a carrier-based aircraft looks like now...... "Look, it's like this, like a big bird in the sky." "Zheng Haitao handed Wen Biao a newspaper with a photo of the carrier-based aircraft on the deck, but it was very vague." What kind of photo this is, it's not clear at all! Wen Biao glanced at it twice and casually threw the newspaper aside.

"I have already sent a telegram to Dai Hui and asked him to take a group of photos of carrier-based aircraft, asking for various poses, and we will feast our eyes at that time." "Ahem, when will our brothers be able to command the aircraft carrier fleet," Wen Biao sighed. Zheng Haitao said: "Don't be depressed, I estimate that our brothers have a battle with the US-British special task force, and you and I will fight a traditional naval battle with naval guns, which can also reflect the domineering spirit of the imperial navy." "That's it, let that kid Dai Hui be proud!" "If Commander Wen doesn't enjoy it, just join the army." Shao Bo teased.

"Brother Shao, my soul has been handed over to the sea, and I will not leave the ocean in this life. Let's talk about it in the next life when I join the Army. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Wen Biao was even more excited and said: "Brother Zheng, my wife has given birth again." Ha Luha, I'm a good child now! How is your wife moving? "It seems that I don't have your fierce artillery fire, and I am willing to bow down." "Your efforts, didn't we say at the beginning, there must be children and daughters, and both children and daughters." "I've been trying, but there's no movement and I can't do anything."

Zheng Haitao felt a little rude when he saw Shao Bo sitting on the side with a smile: "Brother Shao, our brothers are open-mouthed. Makes you laugh. Tell us about your situation, and let us be happy. Shao Bo's face became grim when he heard this: "I'm afraid I'll spoil your fun, my wife is no longer alive!" "What's going on?" "Last year in Australia. My wife, who was nursing the wounded, unfortunately died of infection, and I was inspecting the army at the time, and I didn't even see the back of the army. Silence, Zheng Haitao said: "The deceased is like this." Brother Shao doesn't have to be too sad. Do you have children? "I have a daughter in the mainland, with my grandparents, and I haven't told the family about my wife's death." Wen Biao waved his hand and said, "Brother Shao, this is the will of heaven, you are destined to have a second woman in your life, don't want to find one?" ”

"Forget it, let's wait until the war is over!" Shao Bo shook his head. "You forgot what the president said, we are soldiers. But not ascetics. Ay! I have a French girl on board the hospital ship, very beautiful. I'll give you an introduction. "Forget it, I'm not in that mood right now." Shao Bo refused. "Don't tell you anything about it, don't hide it, if I hadn't entered the siege, I would have launched an attack on the French girl a long time ago." "If your wife agrees, can you marry another one?" Shao Bo smiled.

"He has a thief's heart but not a thief's guts, do you know who his wife is?" Zheng Haitao said slyly. "Who is it?" "Dai Hui's cousin, do you dare to ask him?" "Hey, hey, how did Brother Shao get involved with me, since Brother Shao didn't want to, I'd better keep it! Brother a few drinks, today is not drunk and will not return. The next morning, they received an order from the headquarters that Wen Biao temporarily served as deputy commander of the 2nd Fleet. In the fleet headquarters, Zheng Haitao said: "All the reconnaissance ships have been sent out of the country, and the purpose is to attract the attention of the Panamanian American-British task force. ”

Wen Biao said: "I suggest opening the radio contact of all reconnaissance ships and constantly adding code to the enemy. There is still a month to go until the beginning of March, and we have to harass them non-stop. Zheng Haitao said: "According to Dai Hui's report, after we captured the Hawaiian Islands, the enemy also frequently dispatched reconnaissance submarines to try to understand our intentions. At this time, a communications officer came in and reported: "Report, the patrol warship sent a report, and an unknown signal was detected in the northeast direction, and it is estimated that it is an enemy reconnaissance vessel." Did you send a battleship to strangle? ”

"How about it, say Cao Cao Cao will arrive, let them investigate, we have to cooperate well." Zheng Haitao said with a smile. Shao Bo said: "I'll pour cold water on you, after the feint mission is completed, you including our mission will be completed, and we won't have a combat mission for the whole summer?" "What do you mean by that?" Zheng Haitao and Wen Biao were confused. Shao Bo said: "After the successful landing in the United States, the key is to gain a firm foothold. However, after the successful landing, the next storm period begins, and during the storm, I don't need to say, you should know what is going on. ”

"Are you saying that in a stormy period, our transport fleet will be disrupted, and logistics will be under great pressure?" Zheng Haitao said. "Yes, if the landing succeeds in capturing a bridgehead, the landing force will have to hold out for at least five months, that is, in October, a large-scale offensive. I estimate that the 2nd Fleet, including us, will be able to launch a landing operation in Panama! "Brother Shao's analysis is reasonable, but how can the landing force hold on for 5 months, and how can the huge fleet gain a foothold?" Wen Biao was a little worried.

Shao Bo said with a smile: "The headquarters boldly planned an expedition to the United States, and it must have thought of this, so we don't have to worry about it." Your two are concerned with defeating the U.S.-British task force, and our mission is how to land in Panama. Shao Bo's face was flushed, and his panting voice seemed to be a little abnormal. Suddenly, Shao Bo felt a wave of nausea and dizziness and sat on the chair, "Brother Shao, what's wrong with you?" Zheng Haitao was taken aback and hurriedly checked, Wen Biao put his hand on Shao Bo's forehead and said, "Brother Shao has a fever!" Immediately send Commander Shao to the No. 012 medical ship and ask Dr. Anna to treat him personally. ”

After Shao Bo was carried away, Zheng Haitao was dissatisfied: "What do you want to do? "I don't believe that Brother Shao doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, Commander Shao is polite, handsome and chic, Anna will definitely be able to take a fancy to him, I want to see how determined Brother Shao is." "You kid is really good, I hope you don't hurt Shao Bo." "You're unwilling, worrying about something. If Brother Shao is afraid of injury, he is not worthy of being a soldier, let's watch a good show, you have to cooperate with me, if Commander Shao is really determined, I will apologize for my sin! (To be continued......)
