On Kuah Island, after the real battle with the Red Police Corps, Hyakutake Haruyoshi also truly realized the strong combat capability of the Red Police Corps.

The Japanese army he brought was all elite tempered from the battlefield, and after all kinds of battles, they were all veritable elites.

And such an elite unit, with the advantage of numbers, could not even defeat two battalions of the enemy, and the proportion of battle losses was even more amazing.

This made Hyakutake Haruyoshi decisively adjust his tactical deployment, and at the same time sent a detailed report to the base camp.

In the report, Hyakutake Haruyoshi reported in detail on the situation of the battle, and also reported a series of actions of the Red Police Corps on Kuah Island and the surrounding areas.

When the base camp learned that the Red Guard Corps was preparing to launch a full-scale counteroffensive from the South Pacific region, it also gave instructions as soon as possible:

"The Red Guard Empire must be driven away from Kuah Island before it consolidates its defenses, in order to stop the Red Alert Empire's counteroffensive. To this end, the base camp urgently revised the battle plan and ordered the remnants of the combined fleet to attack with all their might to eliminate the amphibious fleet of the Red Alert Empire near Kuah Island, suppress the enemy firepower on Kuah Island, cover the army to eliminate the Red Police force on Kuah Island, and fully control Kuah Island within a month. ”

The order was finally sent to Japan's new Combined Fleet, which had just arrived in the waters of the South Pacific archipelago.

The new Japanese Combined Fleet, although it lost six aircraft carriers, had more capital warships.

Admiral Kiyoshi Hasegawa led his Chinese fleet, together with other major naval forces in the South Seas, to form a new fleet in the South Pacific that could quickly support island defense, sea transportation protection, and directly participate in decisive naval battles.

The Japanese headquarters originally planned to send generals from the headquarters to command this fleet, but considering that the enemy was already moving, they directly let Hasegawa Kiyoshi take office.

Hasegawa Kiyoshi, who had just taken up the post of commander of the new wing fleet, had been looking for an opportunity to take revenge on the shame of Midway, and he happened to ask the military command to fight.

Hasegawa Kiyoshi believed that the Combined Fleet's stationing in Guadalcanal could lure the Red Guard Fleet out for a decisive battle at sea. Hasegawa Kiyoshi formulated a targeted battle plan: use the 8th Fleet to ensure the safety of the army's reinforcements, and use the main force of the combined fleet to lure out the aircraft carrier formation of the Red Guard Corps and destroy it. In order to achieve this attempt, he used almost all of his wealth in the South Pacific, divided into five parts.

Hasegawa Kiyoshi's wishful thinking was to use the light and weak light aircraft carrier Sea Eagle as a bait to attract all the Red Alert carrier-based aircraft, and once the deceived Red Alert carrier-based aircraft returned to the sea with all the fuel, he would quickly dispatch all the Japanese planes on the aircraft carrier and sink the Red Alert aircraft carrier in one fell swoop.

It is expected that after the total annihilation of the Red Guard Fleet, the Japanese Fleet will take advantage of the victory and wave its divisions to advance towards Kuah Island, and with the momentum of a tiger descending from the mountain, it will directly attack the target and shell Kuah Island, and at the same time send landing troops ashore to completely wipe out the Red Guard Marines.

To this end, Hasegawa Kiyoshi went into battle and led a huge fleet from the South Seas to the sea north of Solomon.

A few days later, they arrived at the Rabaul base in the South Pacific Ocean. He immediately coordinated with the 17th Army to recapture Kuah Island and annihilate the Red Guard Corps' fleet on Kuah Island.

Hasegawa Kiyoshi's battle plan was to use the main forces of the two detachments and cooperate with the combined fleet, with a total of more than 80 warships of various types and more than 8,000 officers and men, to raid and seize the island, lure and annihilate the forces of the Red Guard Empire in the waters near Kuah Island, and wash away the shame of the defeat in the Battle of Midway.

On that day, it was just dawn. Hasegawa Kiyoshi led all the fleets to split the sea of dawn and sailed away from the Truk military port.

In the afternoon of the same day, the huge fleet gathered in the ocean 200 nautical miles northeast of the Solomon Islands, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

Admiral Guo Shaohua, commander of the South Pacific Regional Fleet of the Red Guard Corps, immediately gave instructions: It is necessary to protect the shipping route to the Solomon Islands and plan to meet the enemy. At the same time, the 16th Amphibious Fleet was ordered to rush to the waters of Kuah Island. In order to ensure a timely response to the movements of the Japanese Navy, the aircraft carriers of the West White Tiger Fleet, the Kuimu Wolf and the Pleiades Chicken, were dispatched to Kuah Island.

At the same time, Luo Haiping, commander-in-chief of the Navy of the Red Guard Corps, learned about the relevant situation in the South Pacific, and considered that Japan was indeed menacing this time. It is feared that the Navy is currently undermanned in the South Pacific and unable to effectively resist and counter the Japanese offensive. Therefore, Luo Haiping urgently ordered the BB-7/BB-8 of the amphibious joint combat group, two dreadnought second-class battleships, as well as cruisers and destroyers serving as escorts, all of them to set off from Australia and rush to the waters of Kuah Island day and night.

At the same time, two squadrons of fighters and bombers stationed in Australia near the island of Kuah were ordered to be on 24-hour alert and closely monitor the movements of enemy planes in the vicinity.

A decisive battle is about to break out.

As far as the Red Guard Regiment was concerned, this naval battle came quite hastily, and this was an underestimation of the movements of the Japanese Navy, especially the misestimation of the courage and determination of the Japanese Navy in a decisive battle.

According to the analysis of the staff team of the Red Guard Corps, after the disastrous defeat in the naval battle of Midway, Japan did not dare to provoke a decisive battle at sea again in a short period of time.

Therefore, taking advantage of this period of time, many warships of the Red Guard Navy were in a state of maintenance in order to prepare for the next stage of further encirclement and suppression operations against other main forces of the Japanese Navy.

A small melon island instantly gathered the world's turmoil, not only attracting a large number of Japanese troops, but also attracting all the main forces of the Japanese navy.

According to the people of the staff headquarters of the Red Guard Corps, the Japanese are a bunch of crazy people, and you must know that once the new combined fleet is eliminated, then the Japanese navy will really be weakened.

Although Japan has a total of nearly 20 aircraft carriers, there are not many real main aircraft carriers, and it is no longer possible to evaluate the courage to launch an active attack, it should be said that they are all madmen.

And Fan Yize, who had just returned to this world, also received a report from Kuah Island for the first time.

In the general headquarters of the expeditionary corps in Hawaii, Fan Yize learned about the general situation with Ling Liang, and after listening to Ling Liang's account, Fan Yize also had to admire the courage of the little Japanese navy.

And for such an opponent, Fan Yize has only one instruction, that is, to beat him to death with a stick.

"Who is the general in command at the front?" Fan Yize asked.

"Guo Shaohua personally commanded, and Luo Haiping provided him with some necessary assistance." Ling Liang said.

"Then tell Guo Shaohua that the situation in the waters near Kuah Island is complicated, the islands are staggered, and if you want to completely annihilate the Japanese Combined Fleet, you will have to be even more crazy than the enemy, I will allow him to act cheaply, only ask for one, and I must be given to completely annihilate the Japanese Combined Fleet." Fan Yize decisively gave the order.
