Biquge www.readwn.com, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!

Nan Yun Zhongyi has four aircraft carriers, two of which are Feilong and Canglong. These two carriers are light fleet carriers that can carry more than 70 carrier aircraft, although they are not the Japanese Navy. The elite of elite, but it is definitely a relatively large fleet carrier.

The other two are the flagship Chicheng, and the other is the Kaga, which is also a large aircraft carrier carrying more than 70 aircraft. The Chicheng can even carry more than 90 aircraft, which can be said to be the more advanced aircraft carrier of this era. . So at this moment, the Japanese fleet near Oahu has more than 300 aircraft on board.

However, after the attacks of the past few days, Nan Yunzhong has not had so many planes. He really lost 61 planes, which is one-fifth of all his strength. If it is counted as a failure Almost one-third of the aircraft he maintained and other aircraft that could not take off were unable to participate in the war.

Moreover, the Akagi was equipped with 20 Zero fighters, the Kaga was equipped with 20 Zero fighters, and the two aircraft carriers Canglong and Feilong were also equipped with exactly 20 Zero fighters, so the Japanese Navy could dispatch There are only 80 full fighter jets, and so far, half of Nanyun Zhongyi's 80 planes have been shot down.

That is, the Japanese navy has a crazy Bushido spirit, and these pilots are not afraid of death. If you switch to another navy, half of the loss is enough to collapse the soldiers. However, these Japanese naval airmen were still not afraid, and executed the orders of Nan Yunzhong's one-on-one battle without any turning back.

The strength of the brainwashing of Japanese militarism is evident from this, and the terrifying willpower of Japanese soldiers is absolutely frightening. They regard death as a way of expressing their loyalty, and regard the execution of superior orders as a means of loyalty to the country. I have to admit that the Japanese are at the forefront of the world, at least in terms of looting soldiers to death.

Throughout the ages, the troops that lost half of their troops and dared to fight back, have become the indelible name of all countries. And Japan ’s First Air Fleet actually did this near the Hawaiian island on the Pacific Ocean. With this terrible spirit, they were already the best soldiers in the world.

However, Nan Yunzhong knew that this time it was really impossible to fight again. If his troops wanted to retain a trace of blood and continue to fight for the Great Japanese Empire in the future, they must now retreat. Just looking at the fragile US fleet in close proximity, Nan Yunzhong has a hint of reluctance to give up.

This is a battle that determines the fate of Japan. If he dare not even try it, he will regret it in his life. So after turning around, he held up the map table next to him, still biting his teeth and issued a command of attack: "Let the next wave of planes take off! Today, I want to lead you from the big Japanese navy, and the **** Yankee Fight forever! Never die! "

"His Majesty ... Long live!" A Japanese officer raised his hands high and shouted loudly in the bridge. After he shouted, more Japanese officers and sailors raised their hands and flung them from both sides of the legs into the sky: "His Majesty the Emperor! Long live!"

Even Nan Yunzhong raised his hands and shouted loudly: "Long live! Long live!" Soon, the slogan spread to every corner of the aircraft carrier Akagi, all the Japanese soldiers were there Fanatic shouts, fatigue and frustration seemed to be driven away at this moment, and the entire warship was full of vitality.

"General, Marshal Yamamoto called and ordered us to retreat immediately!" An officer took a message and walked behind General Nan Yunzhong. His words were like a pot of cold water, which instantly wiped out the entire bridge. For the heart of Wa Quan's death. Everyone no longer yelled, but stared at Nan Yun Zhongyi, a strange and strange smell in the air permeated, suffocating.

"This must be a message sent by the enemy to confuse us!" An officer stared at the document, whispering angrily.

"Baga Yalu! What are you doing with this message? Are you still a soldier of the empire?" Another Japanese officer even pressed his hand on his command knife and gritted his teeth to teach the message. The officer came.

Nan Yunzhong's face was iron-green, and he received the fifty-six messages from Yamamoto. After reading it carefully, he had a hint of disobedience in his heart. No longer on him, this is undoubtedly very lucky for a front-line commander.

However, after he opened the message, he found that these were two messages. The first one was actually issued by Lieutenant General Oshima, the head of the 4th Division on Oahu and Lieutenant General Fukuda, the head of the 131st Division The message clearly stated above that the US military's resistance on Oahu is very tenacious. In a short period of time, Japanese infantry cannot control Oahu, and it is impossible to launch an attack like Hawaii.

The second message was an evacuation order issued by Yamamoto 56. The Japanese naval marshal correctly assessed the losses suffered by the Japanese navy. In his view, he took the elite pilots of the entire First Air Fleet to fight the United States. The naval fleet is completely idiot-like behavior.

"General Nan Yunzhong, if we try our best here, then when the US counterattack arrives in the future, your fleet will only be able to return to Japan to stand by. Responsibility! I order you to immediately retreat with me to retain the power to meet the first counterattack of the United States! "This is the core part of Yamamoto's message. It is very clear that Nan Yunzhong is wasting his troops, which is not a wise move. .

The United States loses a fleet, and after three months or half a year, it is almost possible to replenish such a fleet. However, if Japan loses 200 pilots, the maximum number of pilots that can be added within half a year is only 150. This is why Yamamoto 56 is reluctant to spend with the United States. He dare not consume it because Japan cannot afford it.

Yamamoto ’s plan is very simple. His naval fleet needs rest. After the replenishment and rest is completed, his fleet can recover its combat capabilities. At this time, without the fixed point of Oahu, he can choose an advantage in the ocean. Seeking a decisive battle, it is easier to defeat the US fleet.

Of course, he also knows that once the troops are withdrawn, even if the United States is completely relieved, the plan to force the United States to surrender in the short term will become more difficult. However, the Japanese Navy must now take a break. This is something he feels he must do and there is no way to omit it.

As for the strategic initiative to change hands, he is not without consideration. From the perspective of Fifty-six Yamamoto, Japan ’s offensive has now shown a weak trend, and it is unpredictable to force the performance to show the United States whether it is effective. It is not worthwhile to catch the entire First Air Fleet for such a deception that may not work.

So after receiving the telegrams from two army generals on Oshima and Futian, he immediately issued an order to retreat. Yamamoto 56 hoped that the 40,000 army soldiers could stay on Oahu and Kauai for four months. At that time, he will lead the elite Japanese joint fleet back to kill and wipe out the nearby US Navy in one fell swoop.

Yamamoto ’s calculation is very simple, that is, to use a few months of passive to fight for a first move, and then stage a sea-like annihilation battle similar to the battle of Wake Island, and annihilate the American fleet again. The problem.

"Call Marshal Yamamoto! Tell him that Nan Yunzhong is determined to fight desperately!" After thinking about it, Nan Yunzhong said his decision with his teeth clenched under the eyes of everyone expecting: "The soldier of the Great Japanese Empire , There is no tradition of escape! My Nanyun is not a coward! My men are not cowards! "

"General!" An officer in the telegraph room came in and handed a telegram to Nan Yun Zhongyi: "Marshal Yamamoto called and said ..."

"Say what?" Nan Yun snatched the message, because it was too fast, and even torn off a small corner. He carefully read the text above, which turned out to be Yamamoto's own tone: "If you don't obey my orders, I will rush to the fleet with the battleship Nagato and take over your command!"

After reading this message blankly, Nan Yun finally said, "Order the fleet to turn south and leave the war zone!"

"General!" An officer of the main battle stepped forward, trying to persuade Nan Yun to change his mind.

Nan Yun stretched out his hand to interrupt his words: "Okay! Stop talking! Marshal Yamamoto's order is right! If we go on fighting so hard, we will miss the marshal's big event! He has his own plan and we abide by it That's it! "

At 11:12 am, the warships of Japan ’s First Air Fleet began to turn. At the same time, a group of fighters arrived in the United States, taking advantage of the chaos and injuring the Japanese aircraft carrier Dragon, causing 2 deaths and 32 injuries to the Japanese ground crew and sailors. However, before noon, the Japanese navy broke away from contact with the US Navy and regrouped on the western surface of Kauai.

The Hawaiian naval battle ended in an anticlimactic manner. The US Navy recaptured the maritime initiative in the central Pacific Ocean. The Pacific battlefield entered a stage of strategic stalemate after being ruled by Japan for nearly four months.
