Chapter 2978
Jin decided to have a good exchange with Yamaguchi, but he didn't know that at the same time he received hints from his friends, Yamaguchi also received instructions from his superiors.Compared with New Guinea, which was given up by the Japanese to the Americans as a front station, the area occupied by the Japanese army on Papua Island was regarded by Toshiichiro Koizumi as a food and industrial plant cultivation base. The expansion of attacks and bombings on nearby islands is only a loss of materials and personnel for the Americans, but it is a move to destroy the ability of the Japanese to continue their navigation. How can Koizumi be in a hurry?
"What the Chinese people are doing now is clearly trying to attack my agricultural and industrial plant cultivation bases. This will inevitably affect the income of the Papua cultivation area and the overall layout of the empire in Southeast Asia. Therefore, I hope that Commander Yamaguchi can do it in the shortest possible time. Initiate a war within time, at least drive the Chinese from the Pacific coast of Papua..."

How could Yamaguchi not listen to the highest instruction from Toshiichiro Koizumi?Therefore, not only could he not accept Jin's goodwill, but he must also insist on his own point of view, asking Jin to give up the attack on Guam and continue to search and pursue the Chinese fleet with all his strength.

Jin is not a patient person. Yamaguchi refuses his kindness and instead tells him to teach him. This is not acceptable to him.So, throwing a sentence similar to "whatever you want" to the Japanese, he directly led the US Pacific Fleet, broke away from the mixed organization with the Japanese combined fleet, and headed towards Guam.

Li Mei didn't know that Yamaguchi's refusal to accept Jin's kindness was because Toshiichiro Koizumi's order was mixed in with it. Don’t you know that he is giving the Chinese a chance by doing this? Chen Ce and Bai Chongxi are masters in the art of war, and they will never let this opportunity go. Your Excellency Commander, I think maybe we should prepare again A set of battle plans. You know, the reason why we are able to maintain the lead in the situation and prevent the Chinese from showing up is to rely on the strength of joining forces with the Japanese. Therefore, the Japanese can ignore the overall situation, but we absolutely cannot That's it. This is the third time the Pacific Fleet has been rebuilt, and you don't want it to fail again. Since the Chinese can keep the Japanese from operating in the Pacific Ocean for a long time, they must rely on it. If they are really taken advantage of We defeated the Japanese when we attacked Guam, and then we had to face the threat of the Chinese alone! Of course, at that time, the strength of the Chinese fleet was damaged, so it may not be our opponent, but after all, it is too far away from the mainland of the Chinese. Recently, who knows if they have hidden power in the mainland..."

Is Jin ignorant of good and evil?Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to listen to Li Mei's opinion, and he bowed his head to Shankou first.Li Meiyu's earnest words made him calm down completely. After thinking twice, he said to Li Mei: "You are very reasonable, but if you do that, doesn't it mean that we have to divide the fleet into two parts? If you do that Our attacking force on Guam has been greatly reduced, leaving some ships, can they play a deterrent role against the Chinese?"

"Your Excellency, have you noticed us? Based on the information we currently have on Guam, we only need to dispatch battleships, some cruisers and a number of marines to attack Guam. The Chinese fleet has already left Guam. This has been confirmed. , and the land-based air force they deployed in Guam is only a brigade, and the fighter planes of this brigade pose no threat to our battleships equipped with cruisers—"

"You mean to keep all the aircraft carriers?"

"That's exactly what I mean. After all, the main combat force in naval warfare is aviation."

"This matter is no small matter, you let me think about it."

After careful consideration, Jin finally agreed to Li Mei's suggestion.However, in order to ensure that Guam could be captured in a relatively short period of time, he did not follow Li Mei's suggestion completely. When allocating ships, he retained two aircraft carriers in the fifth and No.11 task forces attacking Guam.

At this time, the U.S. Pacific Fleet has a total of eight fleet aircraft carriers and five escort aircraft carriers. That is to say, after the division of forces, the U.S. fleet attacking Guam has two fleet aircraft carriers, while the U.S. fleet staying behind to support the Japanese army has six fleet aircraft carriers. and five escort aircraft carriers.

Based on Li Mei's suggestion, hoping to hide a large-scale fleet behind the Japanese combined fleet, so as to act as a surprise soldier when the Chinese and Japanese navies are at war, Jin Zai made a division of forces and asked Li Mei to command the second aircraft carrier fleet and the third and third aircraft carrier fleets. After the fifth aircraft carrier fleet, the first and second escort aircraft carrier fleets and the sixth, seventh, ninth, and tenth task force were responsible for staying behind, they did not report relevant information to the Japanese.In Li Mei's words, the separation of the U.S. and Japanese navies may not be an opportunity for the combined fleet to defeat the Chinese fleet, that is, to use the Japanese fleet as bait to lure the Chinese fleet to attack the Japanese fleet, and then the U.S. fleet to stay behind will do the rest. The oriole appeared again as a battlefield terminator at a critical moment.

I have to admit that Li Mei's strategy is very vicious. If the war really develops as he imagined, if the Chinese fleet can't detect the existence of its remaining fleet in advance, then the Americans may really become the final winner of the Second Pacific War .

Unfortunately for Li Mei, it seems that the defenders of Jiwan, the United States and Japan have ignored the electronic warfare capabilities of the Chinese navy, and then made the peripheral warning ships seem to be fake. When he carried out the above-mentioned deduction, Li Mei also ignored one. A crucial factor - that is, the technological strength of the Chinese navy.What he and Jin couldn't think of was that because the Chinese were ahead in electronic technology, even though their division of troops was very covert, they actually failed to escape the eyes of the Chinese reconnaissance troops.

Chen Ce and Bai Chongxi dared to lead the Pacific Fleet into the uninhabited waters off the coast of Papua, did they only rely on the advanced engine technology of Chinese ships?Damn it!Their real reliance is actually on the almost omnipresent lurking eyes of the Pacific Ocean.

It is Chen Shichang's first initiative to ambush the reconnaissance submarine at a fixed point on the necessary waterway in the Pacific Ocean.When the Chinese and Japanese navies were fighting in the Pacific Ocean, this method could not reflect its power because the strengths of the two sides were not at the same level.But now, when the strength of the US-Japan joint fleet completely crushes the Chinese Pacific Fleet, the existence of this method is too necessary.

This is also the reason why when the Chinese Pacific Fleet won a big victory in the Palau naval battle, when Chen Ce returned to Chongqing to accept the award from the Supreme Command, he said the following words in particular——“I want to thank a unit in particular, because Without their humiliation and long-term lurking, there would be no great victory for us later! They are the eyes that guide us to victory..."
