Chapter 2648 Out of Control
"Send me an order that the 13th, No.20, and No.[-] Infantry Divisions immediately implement Operation Plan C, and the [-]th and [-]th Armored Divisions prepare for combat. Where is Brown? I need his air defense units to enter operations immediately State..." For today's battle, MacArthur has done a lot of preparation work, and set up four sets of combat plans, but now it seems that his preparation work is not superfluous.

Pushing forward half an hour, when fierce air battles took place over the sea off the southeast of Singapore, Toshiichiro Koizumi gave an order to counterattack. "...I announce that I will enter the time of the imperial army from now on. Gentlemen, I have prepared delicious food and wine in the No. [-] war room, just waiting for your triumphant return!" On the phone, Toshiichiro Koizumi finally said confidently.What responded to him was a neat and loud "Hay".

Koizumi Toshiichiro is obsessed with special attack tactics, which makes him a demon who does not understand the slightest humanity in the media of the allied countries.After the death of Yamamoto 56, in Europe and America, he has replaced Yamamoto as the second object of hatred of Westerners (the first is of course Hitler).In the words of Xiao An, a well-known American reporter, relatively speaking, Yamamoto 56 is still a soldier, but what Koizumi Toshiichiro has done is a blasphemy to the profession of a soldier.Special attack tactics, in fact, have been proved by a large number of military examples of its limitations and backwardness.But it's as if Easterners regard spiny fish as a delicacy, but Westerners dare not touch it. The loopholes in special attack tactics are placed there, and the Chinese army can easily break through them, but the US military has nothing to do with them.

On the front line of the Wabala, as more and more Japanese soldiers and National Independence Army soldiers launched suicide attacks on American tanks and even soldiers, many front-line commanders of the U.S. Army who were used to this scene became more and more determined in their hearts. I thought this was the last dying struggle of the Japanese army.

"Maybe we can ask the commander to prepare champagne?" Arthur Epel, the commander of the [-]rd Infantry Division, said when he exchanged the battle with Simon.

Simon: "My lads should be able to take all the high ground before lunch."

In Operation Plan A, the 5rd Infantry Division belonged to the second combat order. Now, because MacArthur felt the crisis and wanted to speed up the progress of the battle, the division was asked to implement Plan C, responsible for helping the 7rd Reinforced Armored Brigade to consolidate its rear positions and To prevent the Japanese counterattack.On the left and right wings of the third reinforced armored brigade, according to plan C, MacArthur strengthened an infantry division and an armored division respectively.In this way, on the frontal battlefield of the Wabala, the U.S. military has reached the size of the Seventh Division and the First Brigade, with a total strength of more than [-] troops.And if the two Australian divisions responsible for blocking the passage from the Wabbaros to Lake Murray and Wewak are included, the total strength of the US military on the frontal battlefield is now nearly [-].

The front-line commanders of the U.S. military generally thought that it was only a matter of time before the battle was settled, but the black line on MacArthur's face was getting thicker and thicker, and it was already brewing into a storm.

Just now, MacArthur received a call from General Bremey, the commander of the Australian Army Corps, who said that he had discovered a Japanese army of unknown size northeast of Lake Murray: "...I repeatedly asked our scouts, and they reported that it was indeed Japanese army. Your Excellency, I think you should know what this means."

What does it mean for the Japanese army to appear northeast of Lake Murray? As long as this unknown number of Japanese troops is marked on the sand table, then anyone with a little military common sense will be able to see at a glance that the Japanese army is not willing to give up the Wabbarians.As for MacArthur, because he has a good understanding of Koizumi Toshiichiro's command style, he is more worried about whether the latter has prepared more backup players. .

"Give me Admiral Jin——Dear Jin, let me inform you about the discovery just now. We found an unknown number of Japanese troops northeast of Lake Murray. Jin, you should know what this means to us. So I would like to ask you to send out more reconnaissance planes to help us carefully reconnaissance the enemy situation in the surrounding areas. Yes, I suspect that the Japanese have a conspiracy--that would be the best. In this case, no matter how many troops Koizumi ambushed It'll be cannon fodder. But the Japanese are cunning, Kim, and watch out for them sneaking into the fleet."

After talking with Jin, MacArthur's face gradually turned red. As he said on the phone, no matter how many ground troops Koizumi ambushed, as long as the battlefield air supremacy is in their hands, he doesn't need to worry.As for whether the Pacific Fleet will encounter a surprise attack, although he solemnly reminded Jin, deep down in his heart he didn't think the Japanese had this strength.After all, this time Jin brought out as many as nine aircraft carriers and more than a thousand fighters.However, all the fighter planes of the Japanese army in Southeast Asia are only about a thousand. MacArthur never thinks that Koizumi has the courage to gather all the fighter planes and use them as special attack tactical aircraft.

There is a lot of confidence in my heart, and MacArthur's command has become more fluent.Under his orders, the U.S. Army steadily advanced towards the urban area of ​​Wabarao, gradually compressing the Japanese army to the northwest corner of Wabarao.

At around 12:30 noon, MacArthur was preparing to eat when a telegram from King made him lose his appetite.What he was most worried about happened. Toshiichiro Koizumi really concentrated all the special attack fighters and launched a surprise attack on the Pacific Fleet.What's terrible is that among the nine aircraft carriers in the Pacific Fleet, the flight decks of four aircraft carriers are empty, and at least one-third of the fighter planes of other aircraft carriers are not on the decks.

In fact, Jin You took into account that the Japanese army might implement special attack tactics against them, so he brought enough escort ships. However, because there were too many Japanese planes attacking, even though all the escort ships fired with full firepower, they still could not attack them. Prevent the Japanese aircraft from successfully breaking through the air defense firepower network and approaching the aircraft carrier.As for intercepting with fighter planes, under Jin's command, the Pacific Fleet took off enough fighter planes to meet the enemy before the Japanese army launched an attack, but because the American pilots really lacked the means to deal with the Japanese army's special attack tactics.The launch of these fighter planes not only failed to stop the Japanese attack, but made the escort fleet below become timid, for fear of hitting their own people by mistake.

In such an emergency situation, King had to notify MacArthur: "General, I need more fighter planes to return! Our aircraft carrier must not be lost."

As a result, the U.S. fighter planes that had been guarding the U.S. ground forces disappeared one by one from MacArthur's field of vision, which made MacArthur feel bad.

There are too many dealings with Koizumi, so MacArthur has to worry about his follow-up means.And if Jin transferred back the fighter planes and so on to give up the air supremacy on the battlefield, would the Japanese let this opportunity pass?
