Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2969 Storm and Opportunity
Jiwan, the total stationed here at this time includes-the United States: a task force, a marine division, a land-based naval aviation wing and a mechanized air defense regiment; Japan: a destroyer team, a submarine team, and an army aviation team. Wing and a brigade army (including an armored wing with considerable air defense).Coastal defense facilities included two high-power radar stations, three triple-mounted 240mm caliber forts, and two double-mounted 88mm caliber anti-aircraft forts, all of which were controlled by the Japanese army.

China's Pacific Fleet was in charge of commanding the sneak attack on Jiwan was Huang Tianxun, who once made a big splash in the Green Island naval battle.

At this time, Huang Tianxun and his officers and soldiers were fighting against a sudden rainstorm in a sea area less than [-] kilometers away from Jiwan.

Just as Chen Ce was worried, in this sneak attack on Ji Wan, Huang Tianxun and the others' biggest enemy was not Ji Wan's enemy army, but the unpredictable climate in the Pacific Ocean.Of course, from another point of view, it is precisely because the recent period of time belongs to the most abnormal season in the Pacific Ocean that Huang Tianxun and the others are able to use the cover of the weather to get close to Ji Wan without anyone noticing and gain a chance to sneak attack.

From Guam to Jiwan, the total distance is about [-] kilometers. Huang Tianxun and the others set off three days ago. Fortunately, they set off three days ago. Otherwise, because of the sudden heavy rain, they would definitely not be able to Arrive at the waters near Jiwan according to the agreed time.

Huang Tianxun's command ship is a torpedo boat numbered 00015.The storm was so strong that even though he was standing in the cabin, he still had to wear rain gear.In order to prevent the electronic instruments and instruments on board from malfunctioning due to the infiltration of rainwater, at the request of Huang Tianxun, the officers and soldiers who attacked the fleet took out all the raincloths and rain gear, and covered all the electronic instruments and instruments on the ship tightly. .

From Huang Tianxun's perspective, where they are, the sky is black and the surroundings are gray, and the rain seems to be pouring from the sky, beating the hull violently, sending out a "popping sound" similar to bullets hitting the hull "Voice. "Pay attention to the course, don't point the hull's flanks to the wind direction of the storm!" He shouted into the microphone, while staring closely at the navigation radar with only one display screen exposed.

Violent stormy weather makes the visibility of this sea area only about 50 meters, so for the sneak attack fleet, they not only have to fight against the harsh weather conditions, but also keep an eye on their surroundings to prevent the tragedy of collision with friendly ships .The sneak attack fleet is all composed of torpedo speedboats, missile speedboats and submarines. The submarines are okay. They hide underwater and can use the sea surface to resist the invasion of storms. However, torpedo speedboats and missile speedboats do not have this treatment. They can only rely on the hull Hard carry.The tonnage of torpedo boats and missile boats is limited, so only a low-power navigation radar was installed on Huang Tianxun's command ship.It was this radar that allowed Huang Tianxun to monitor the position of his torpedo boats and missile boats at all times, which allowed him to control the overall situation and give early warning to avoid collisions.

The storm was unexpected and it is too early to tell what negative impact it will have on the operation.The ships that Huang Tianxun and the others fought this time, whether they were torpedo boats, missile boats or submarines, were all highly electronic.The most feared thing about the electronic system is that it will be infiltrated by rainwater and cause failure.And if this happens with a high probability, it is not impossible to attack the fleet or even lose its combat effectiveness.

Of course, everything has disadvantages and advantages. This storm will certainly affect the performance of the sneak attack fleet and cause frequent failures, but at the same time it also has the effect of covering their actions.Therefore, although the storm showed no signs of stopping, Huang Tianxun still asked the fleet to continue to advance to the target sea area according to the established plan, and did not intend to stop to escape the storm.

Upon receiving the news that the raiding fleet was hit by a storm, Chen Ce and Bai Chongxi smiled wryly at that time. Chen Ce said, "I'm really a crow's mouth. I'm afraid of whatever will happen. Now I can only depend on luck."

The air battle around the big island of Palau lasted for nearly half an hour, and ended with the loss of 33 fighters for China and 24 fighters for Japan and the US military.When Sai Zhangfei led the last group of fighter jets to leave the battle and embark on the return journey, Chen Ce immediately ordered the second combat aircraft group to take off and attack the big island again according to the plan that had been made.In order to prevent the location of our own fleet from being detected and attacked by the US and Japanese coalition forces in advance, the number of fighters that took off for the second time was only 36, and all of them were Golden Eagle jet fighters.Obviously, after the sneak attack was seen through by the US-Japan combined fleet, the task of the second combat aircraft group would no longer be to attack the landing craft of the US-Japan combined fleet, but to harass the enemy and divert the enemy's attention.

Compared to Chen Ce, who already lacks confidence, Bai Chongxi still has great confidence in attacking Ji Wan.He said: "This torrential rain will certainly affect the sneak attack fleet, but I don't think it will be a decisive factor. As long as the main force of the US-Japan combined fleet does not notice it, Huang Tianxun and the others have a very high probability of winning. Hehe, I can be sure now, Yamaguchi Wenta and Jin must be very happy that we sent fighter planes to support Oshima's defense forces, and they must be looking forward to finding our position. Hehe, now we have become bait. I believe that there is our bait, Yamaguchi Wen Duo and Jin decided not to notice Huang Tianxun and the others."

Bai Chongxi's expectation was not bad. After Ozawa Jisaburo sent a sufficient number of reconnaissance troops and found no abnormality, Yamaguchi Wenduo's thoughts did change.At this time, the fighter planes, especially the carrier-based aircraft, do not have such a long range as later generations, so it is certain that since the Chinese fighter planes can appear in the Palau Islands, it means that the Chinese fleet will not be too far away from Palau.The Japanese and the Americans had always thought of directly engaging in a decisive battle with the Chinese Pacific Fleet. Now that the Chinese Fleet came to them on their own initiative, Yamaguchi Wenta and Ozawa Jisaburo discussed it, and they felt that they should seize this opportunity and make a decisive battle. ,

They contacted Jin immediately, and the two sides held a conference call immediately, and reached a consensus that they should seize the opportunity that the Chinese offered to send to their door, so that the Chinese Pacific Fleet could not come back.

"After taking Palau, our goal will definitely be Guam. Now that the Chinese have come out of Guam, I think that if we can seize this opportunity to defeat their main fleet, we will take advantage of the victory and take Guam in one fell swoop. opportunity!" said Yamaguchi during the conference call.

Taking Guam, coupled with the control of Midway Island and the Palau Islands, means that the Western Pacific is completely under the control of the US-Japan Joint Fleet.Jin couldn't refuse such a big temptation, so he immediately raised his hand in approval.
