ACT511: Pouring out of the nest
In the end, five of the eight U.S. pilots got tickets home and were sent back to the United States by Zhao Jian's submarine, and two other good friends chose to stay with Doolittle. Zhao Jian treated these three people as guests, but before they could officially start coaching the air force, Xingbao received military information from Japan.
In the early morning of May 3, a large fleet entered the Shattered Star Zone through the No. 1 Star Gate, which was the largest sortie of the Japanese Navy since the beginning of the war, and the elite forces of the Combined Fleet almost poured out, and even the battleship Yamato, which had just been completed, was pulled out.
On this Japanese army's newest super battleship, the commander of the Combined Fleet, Isoroku Yamamoto, was also on the front line and commanded the entire operation. The Navy is determined to launch a decisive battle to eliminate all resistance in the Shattered Star Sector once and for all, and clear the way for future advances into the continental United States.
And the key to giving the Japanese army so much confidence was this battleship Yamato!
The Yamato was built in early 1936, just like their attack on Pearl Harbor, and before Japan officially withdrew from the Naval Limitation Treaty, it had already secretly started construction on Europa. The Kii, which was also secretly built, was on the verge of completion at that time, and the hull provided a large number of skilled shipbuilders and valuable experience for the Yamato-class, so the whole construction process was very smooth.
In order to drive the huge hull with a standard displacement of up to 64,000 tons, the Imperial Family in charge of the Divine Core came up with two of Japan's largest 90,000-ton super-level divine cores. At this level, there are only 3 god cores in Japan.
However, after Hirohito activated the Divine Core, something surprising happened.
It stands to reason that the ideal value of 90,000 tons and the hull is equipped with a 460mm main gun, Yamato, should be carrying a pair of exaggerated "Super Mulan missiles", but the amount of milk of the black-haired girl who appeared in front of Hirohito and a group of senior naval officers is very ordinary. Visually, it's a D-cup, and it's hard to believe that there is a 460mm bonus.
Therefore, the Japanese Navy, which is particularly face-saving in strange aspects, in order not to let Miss Yamato's milk amount affect the morale of its own crew, listed the actual bust of the other party as a state secret on the spot. Then she had the shipyard workers make a couple of stainless steel bras for her to put on. As for the sailors who were going to serve on the Yamato, they lied that Miss Yamato used the steel cover because her breasts were too big and she was afraid of affecting her activities.
However, in real life, this bra, which is rumored to be effective against 20mm cannons, not only caused an additional burden on Yamato himself, but also often caused inconvenience to others. Just like in the command room just now, Yamamoto Fifty-six just leaned back in his chair, and as a result, he hit Yamato's chest behind him with a "bang", and the back of his head still hurts faintly.
But compared to this little bump, what really gave Yamamoto a headache was the battle in front of him.
On the surface. This time, the Japanese army dispatched more than 200 ships and more than 1,000 aircraft, but behind the huge military strength was the weakness of insufficient preparation. Repeated urgings from the emperor and the base camp made the battle seem rushed. In addition to the insufficient preparation of logistical materials, many ships that participated in the last operation were not in the best condition because they did not have time to carry out comprehensive repairs.
And the most regrettable thing for Yamamoto is the absence of the Fifth Air Battle, the enemy they will face this time is very strong in air warfare. Coupled with the possible US aircraft carriers, they need a large number of aircraft to ensure air supremacy, with only the existing 4 aircraft carriers of the Nagumo Mobile Force. Apparently a little stretched.
"Miss Kaga is right...... It's too messy. ”
Looking at the star field map in front of him, Yamamoto had a feeling that he couldn't make up his mind. There are currently two targets in front of them to choose from. One is the Star Fort whose specific location is not clear, which is their primary confidant, and the other is the US military fortress with a clear location.
U.S. troops after Pearl Harbor. In accordance with the interdiction strategy formulated by Admiral Nimitz, the Navy has built several space fortresses in the Shattered Star Zone based on the asteroid mining area. In addition to housing a large number of Marines, these fortifications also built built-in airfields that could take off and land all types of combat aircraft.
Keep them in the Shattered Star Zone. It will pose a considerable threat to the subsequent troop transport lines.
In the face of these two goals, half of the staff officers supported attacking the US military first, after all, the position of the other side was clear. And the combat power is relatively weak, and the soft persimmons are not pinched white. The other half of the staff members believed that they should first concentrate on searching for the more threatening Star Fort forces, and that they must clearly recognize the primacy and subordination of the target.
The two factions argued endlessly in the command room for this, and the noisy Yamamoto Fifty-six was as big as a fight. I don't know if the other party is absent-minded, or if the noisy brain can't turn around, Yamamoto Isoroku made a decision that he can regret for the rest of his life.
"Enough! Everyone, stop arguing, both of these targets are threats that we need to eliminate in this operation. I just took a look at the star field map and found that these fortresses of the US army are all on the edge of the territory of the 'Sea Serpent (the code name given by the Japanese army to the Star Fort forces'. In this case, it is difficult for us to simply attack one of them first, so I agree with the construction of the Kuroshima staff. ”
As he spoke, Yamamoto looked to the corner of the command room, where a strange person was standing silently with a strange smell. Unlike most of the staff officers present, Kuroshima Kameto was a "show operation", allowing the fleet to advance in multiple directions and launch simultaneous strikes on several American military fortifications.
Kuroshima believes that the U.S. Pacific Fleet has lost all its capital ships, and the Atlantic Fleet has to stay on home to guard against Germany and Italy. These asteroid fortresses will not have too strong fleets to help defend them, and no matter how big the fortress is, it is just a stake that can only be beaten.
With its overwhelming superiority, the Combined Fleet had no trouble crushing the American defenders in these fortifications. And as soon as they move on their side, they will inevitably attract the attention of the sea snake. If the other party really comes out, it will be right in their arms.
Luring the snake out of the hole and killing two birds with one stone, the Black Island Turtle people think that their ideas are simply impeccable!
Relying on Yamamoto's weight and the success of the Pearl Harbor operation, the tactics of the Kuroshima Kameto were recognized by many staff officers, and the Yamato gave them a kind of self-confidence that "my great Japan is invincible". Driven by this self-confidence, the huge Japanese fleet immediately divided into four directions and killed their respective targets.
At the same time, on the side of the Star Castle, Zhao Jian was looking at the movements of the Japanese army on the three-dimensional star map, showing a malicious smile. (To be continued......)
