The question of Chief of Staff Zhao Yu and Major General Zhao Yu of the Independent Division seems simple, and there are even idiots, but if you analyze it carefully, there are a lot of articles and two battlefields, which means that the United States and Japan each have two fleets that are engaged at the same time and in the same sea area, while the intelligence department of the Independent Division has always monitored only the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy and the Combined Fleet of the Japanese Navy

From a certain aspect, it is explained that there is a big problem in the monitoring of the accuracy of the messages between the US army and the Japanese army by the intelligence department of the independent division, and the severity of this problem will bury fatal hidden dangers in the process of formulating the campaign plan in the future.

Of course, Tang Qiuli understood his chief of staff's intention to raise this very naïve question, he shook his head with a smile, and said: "Yuhe, it's not what you feared, there are no loopholes in the intelligence department's intelligence monitoring of the US and Japanese forces!" ”

Zhao Yuhe's face turned red, and he was told by the division commander, Tang Qiuli continued: "When this happens, there is only one way, Forewood, the commander of the US Pacific Fleet, after being suddenly attacked by Japanese carrier-based aircraft, ordered a part of the warships to protect the troop carrier formation, and move closer to Hawaii Island, with the main fleet, to attract the attention of the Japanese army. ”

"It's a pity that he met a famous general in the Japanese Navy, Yamamoto Fifty-six, Yamamoto uses troops, there will never be such an obvious stupid move, there will definitely be a response plan, if I judge correctly, the area where more than 60,000 American infantry were destroyed should be in the sea near Hawaii Island, well, the intelligence department should have a more detailed and accurate analysis report!"

Zhao Yuhe nodded thoughtfully, and Tang Qiuli continued: "Yuhe, after this battle, the US Navy's military strength in the Pacific region has basically been lost, if calculated by the national strength of the United States, it is not difficult to build new aircraft carriers and warships, it will not take a year to reorganize a Pacific Fleet, but after strict training of sailors, a combat effectiveness of the troops, will become a fatal shortcoming for the Americans, within two years, the US Navy will not become a big climate!" ”

"The naval battle of 4 July was a very huge blow to the Americans, perhaps, this can change the attitude of the Americans towards the Pacific War, the Japanese have taken control of the eastern Pacific region, and then, it is time to do it on Luzon Island, MacArthur's days will be difficult soon, we should also start the Hong Kong Campaign, Yuhe, come with me to the special operations detachment to see!"

Zhao Yuhe followed Tang Qiuli and walked out, when he suddenly remembered a question and asked: "Division commander, the Americans have not asked us for help so far, do they still have any hole cards in the southwest Pacific region?" ”

Tang Qiuli smiled and replied: "Of course there is a hole card, that is Australia, this is MacArthur's greatest reliance, but if he still insists on holding Manila, he will inevitably transfer troops from Australia if he can't get reinforcements from the mainland, so he will fall into the trap of the Japanese, don't forget, on the islands in the southwest Pacific, there are still four armies of hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops!" ”

Just as Tang Qiuli said, in a tragic naval battle in the eastern Pacific, the US Navy's newly formed Pacific Fleet, including more than 60 warships, including three aircraft carriers, was completely annihilated under successive blows by the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, and more than 20,000 officers and enlisted men, from Fleet Commander Vice Admiral Fallwood down, were spared.

Four infantry divisions of the follow-up unit of the Second Army, which reinforced the Hawaii Island battlefield, more than 60,000 soldiers, were buried at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, and the commander of the first aircraft carrier formation of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, Rear Admiral Masakage, who was in charge of the attack, had no interest in capturing these American infantrymen, and in his own words, the Great Japanese Empire, which did not have much precious food, to feed these American prisoners of war!

After taking out the second aircraft carrier formation of the US Pacific Fleet with an absolute superiority of troops, Rear Admiral Masakage summoned and ordered all the warships to immediately shell the US troop carrier formation, which had lost its protection, and his order was simple: "After an hour, I don't want to see a single US soldier alive!" "It was a one-sided slaughter, a battle in which the tiger pounced on the sheep, but the Japanese naval sailors and carrier-based aircraft pilots were in high spirits.

The killing in the bones of the Japanese ** was completely stimulated, one by one unarmed troop carriers, in the roaring shell explosion, turned into pieces, the Japanese carrier-based aircraft, unscrupulous strafing, machine guns spit tongues of fire, American soldiers flesh and blood flying, blood stained the deck red, even if the white flag was hung up, ready to surrender the troop carrier, it did not affect the killing of the Japanese army at all**!

Yamamoto led the main force of the combined fleet, and when he arrived, the bloody massacre had just ended, as he himself expected, "This sea area will be dyed bright red by the blood of more than 60,000 American soldiers, and the sea will be full of corpses of American soldiers!" ”

Seeing this, Senior General Yamamoto was expressionless, and said to the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Matsuda: "Send a telegram to Lieutenant General Yoshiki Hirano and tell him that I have solved his worries!" The rest is the matter of the Seventh Army, the Army, hum! ”

When the Pacific Fleet was wiped out, and more than 60,000 army soldiers were buried at the bottom of the sea in the eastern Pacific, when it reached the United States, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky.

Americans, who have enjoyed more than half a century of peace, felt for the first time that the clouds of war had hung over the United States of America, and President Roosevelt, who had received the news, immediately convened an emergency military meeting of the wartime Supreme Command, at which President Roosevelt made emergency arrangements.

At the same time, an order was issued to set up the East Coast Territorial Defense Command, with General Jeffrey Field, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as the commander, and on the same day, Congress issued a conscription order.

Just as Tang Qiu broke off, the US warplanes suddenly accelerated because of a bloody naval battle in the eastern Pacific, and all shipyards received orders from the government, and the shipbuilding plans of the two former Pacific Fleet scales were immediately carried out in various shipyards in the United States, and within a year, the Pacific Fleet was reorganized.

The Third Army, which had planned to reinforce the Hawaii Island battlefield, had already assembled in Los Angeles, but the Americans sadly found that they no longer had a fleet to escort the troops, and more than 100,000 troops could only stay in Los Angeles.

Neither President Roosevelt nor Admiral Jeffrey Fell dared to take risks, the troop convoy without the escort fleet was equivalent to a large piece of fat sent to the mouth of the Japanese naval fleet, unable to send follow-up reinforcements, and the remaining troops of the Second Army still holding on to the island of Hawaii immediately became dangerous, and became a lone army without backup!

President Roosevelt and Admiral Jeffrey Fell stayed awake all night, and after a whole night of weighing, President Roosevelt issued a painful order, "In view of the extremely unfavorable situation in the Eastern Pacific Theater, I hereby order Lieutenant General Harrison, commander of the Second Army, to immediately organize the troops to withdraw to the mainland, and the specific evacuation time is determined by yourself, and there will be a land-based fighter group to cover your retreat operation!" ”

In spite of all their helplessness, the Americans still chose to abandon the Hawaiian Islands, and if they did not withdraw the Second Army and wait for their end, they would be completely wiped out by the Japanese, which also meant that the Americans' territorial defense circle was shrunk to the east coast, which was a passive and passive defensive situation, and the Japanese land-based fighters and bombers could patronize the US mainland at any time.

It was very easy to give the order to evacuate the Second Army, but it was just a telegram, but there was a question, how did the remaining 60,000 or so soldiers of the Second Army come back?

The Americans do not lack transportation capacity at sea, and it is an easy matter to recruit hundreds or thousands of civilian ships, but the crux of the problem is still the escort fleet, and the United States can no longer come up with a formed fleet, and even if it forms an escort fleet, can it be the opponent of the Japanese naval fleet? The collapse of the two Pacific Fleets before and after told the Americans the answer, no!

Only land-based fighters can be sent to carry out uninterrupted air escort, but what is the effect, even Admiral Jeffrey Field, who made the evacuation plan, has no confidence in his heart, and can only try his best to improve the plan, and more importantly, it is just a matter of personnel, and the fate of the US Second Army, very unfortunate, is handed over to God!

However, the Japanese obviously did not want to let these more than 60,000 American soldiers return to the United States alive, this is a piece of meat on their lips, delicious and fat, exuding an attractive taste!

After receiving the telegram from General Yamamoto, Lieutenant General Yoshiki Hirano, commander of the Japanese Seventh Army, said with a bad taste in his mouth, "I have solved my worries!" "What are these words, is the Seventh Army still afraid of reinforcements from the Americans? What does Admiral Yamamoto mean?

In Vice Admiral Hirano Yoshiki's heart, there has never been any worries, as long as there is no trouble with the American fleet, he hopes that the American reinforcements will come to the Hawaii Island battlefield one after another, and he may create a miracle of annihilating hundreds of thousands of American troops with one army, Admiral Yamamoto is laughing at the timidity of the army, and he is timid!

However, the pimple in Lieutenant General Hirano's heart soon calmed down, and he had more important things to do, the more than 60,000 American soldiers on the island of Hawaii were more attractive than Admiral Yamamoto's telegram!
