Chapter 628: Sneak Attack (9)
"You are a good officer, Kawaguchi-kun" Takahashi, who has always been indifferent, looked at Kawaguchi, a smile appeared on his face for the first time, stood up, walked up to Kawaguchi, patted Kawaguchi on the shoulder and said, "Since the commander of the 2nd Escort Group, General Kurayama Kai, made up for his resignation, the commander of the 2nd Escort Group has been vacant, and I, the chief of staff of the Maritime Self-Defense Force, came here, in addition to carrying out this top-secret mission and serving as the commander of the Southbound Task Force, another thing is to find a competent commander for the 2nd Escort Group, and it seems that today I have found it." ”
"It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, but it is not enough for senior officers to just obey orders, they must have brains and the courage to stick to the right opinions."
After speaking, Takahashi took out two documents from the handbag he had been carrying, and the top secret marked on the cover of the documents was as red as blood, "Kawaguchi-kun, this is the top-secret battle plan given to the southbound task force by the Defense Agency's director-general's department, you can take a good look at it, the other is the appointment letter, from now on, Kawaguchi-kun is the commander of the 2nd Escort Group, and he is also the deputy commander of the southbound task force, responsible for actually commanding the entire battle plan." ”
Takahashi's series of actions made Kawaguchi, who had always claimed to be an iron soldier, completely dizzy, only to feel a buzzing in his head, dry in his mouth, and his hands trembled a little with excitement, so that he looked a little clumsy and took some effort to open the top-secret battle plan document.
Kawaguchi's eyes quickly swept over the top-secret battle plan with a few thin pages, and saw the autograph of the head of the Defense Agency, Shigekoji, on it, and only then did he believe that everything Takahashi said was true.
Looking at this top-secret plan, Kawaguchi quickly figured out the entire operational intention of the Defense Agency's director-general's department: Diaoyutai is only a small part of this plan, to put it bluntly, it is just a decoy, and the main operational purpose of the southbound task force is to use Diaoyutai to annihilate the PLA and the naval and air forces on Taiwan Island.
If the PLA fighters can be lured out, then the main force of the air force assembled at the Naha base can take the opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the PLA air force over the Diaoyutai and effectively annihilate the PLA air fighters. If the PLA does not go to war, then it will take the opportunity to recapture Diaoyutai and use more provocative means to make the mainland PLA's navy and air force have to fight.
At the same time, the F-35 fighters deployed on Yonaguni Island will act together to undertake the combat mission of breaking through the air defense line of Taiwan Island and carrying out the combat mission of annihilating the main force of the Taiwan Air Force with the strong stealth penetration strength of two F-35 squadrons.
Even if the sneak attack tactic fails, it doesn't matter if the Taiwan Air Force takes off to meet the fight, the F-16A/B and IDF fighters, the main forces of the Taiwan Air Force, that have taken off in a hurry, will also become the target of the F-35 fighters that have been prepared for a long time, and the US early warning planes, which are well versed in the Taiwan fighters, will transmit the very accurate position of the Taiwan Air Force fighters to the F-35 fighters in a timely manner, so that the F-35 fighters can fire the enemy first and calmly destroy the Taiwan Air Force fighters one by one.
The F-35 fighters of the two squadrons now stationed on Yonaguni Island were originally delivered to the Japanese air force by the US military's active fighters, and they can be seamlessly connected with the US military's early warning planes, and the latest air situation can be transmitted to the F-35 fighters fighting in the air in real time through a data data link, and the guidance operations can be carried out.
Therefore, there is almost no suspense in solving the main force of the Taiwan Air Force with two squadrons of F-35s in one fell swoop. After dealing with the main force of the sea and air force on Taiwan Island, the southbound task force will turn back to deal with the PLA Navy that has hurried to the vicinity of Diaoyutai; at this time, the US and Japanese air forces should have solved the air threat and made the main force of the PLA navy ships the target of the southbound task force and air strikes.
In this way, through the decoy of Diaoyutai and through the two battles of the naval and air forces of Taiwan Island and the decisive battle of the Diaoyutai Sea and Air Force, the US-Japanese naval and air forces will be able to annihilate the main forces of the navy and air force on the mainland and Taiwan Island in the southeast direction in one fell swoop. In this battle, the losses of the mainland PLA and the Taiwan army will at least exceed more than a quarter of the military strength of the mainland and Taiwan.
Without a doubt, this is a very imaginative grand plan.
When Kawaguchi saw this plan, he couldn't help but be enthusiastic about the idea in it. If this is the case, it will not only greatly reduce the huge threat to the empire's maritime lifeline from the return of Taiwan, but also greatly weaken China's military power, and have extremely important political influence, and the political position between China and Japan is very likely to be reversed, and the defeated mainland side will fall into civil strife from now on, at least to ensure that the empire will no longer be threatened by China for five to ten years.
With such a huge plan, relying solely on the guys from the Defense Agency's Director's Department, Kawaguchi believes that they can't play such a big game of chess, and if they want to go all out to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese mainland, it is definitely not something that the Defense Agency's Director's Department can decide.
"That's the plan, Kawaguchi-kun, this is a plan formulated by the coalition command secretly established by the United States and Japan, and our main purpose this time is to weaken the military strength and potential of the Shina people. At this moment, presumably an F-22 squadron of the US military stationed in Guam has already set off on the road, and they will fight with the air force of the Naha base and the air force of the China, and now the situation is almost exactly the same as we expected, and the Shina people can't help but dispatch, and this will be our best chance to annihilate them. Go for it, Kawaguchi-kun! ”
Sure enough, Takahashi quickly revealed the background of this big plan.
"Yes! Your Excellency, Commander, Kawaguchi swears to die in the service of the Empire! Kawaguchi agreed enthusiastically. In this piece, Kawaguchi seems to have countless imperial ghosts possessed. Restoring the glory of the former empire is a dream buried in the hearts of every SDF soldier, and in Kawaguchi's view, once this battle plan is realized today, the SDF will take a major step forward in this direction.
"Kawaguchi-kun, after this war, our Self-Defense Agency will be upgraded to the Ministry of Self-Defense, and the Self-Defense Force will be upgraded to the Self-Defense Force, and our Maritime Self-Defense Force will be upgraded to the Maritime Self-Defense Force, and it will become the Imperial Navy of a normal country again. We've been fighting for this day for almost three generations. Takahashi said leisurely, and this sentence made Kawaguchi's blood boil to the point that he was about to burst.
