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

Just as the Soviet Union assembled almost all its armored forces to go south and prepared to fight against Germany's most powerful G group army, the unprecedented battle in the Solomon Islands in human history quietly kicked off. To read

Do not doubt that this is indeed the largest naval battle in the history of mankind, which has exceeded the scale of any previous fleet engagement. It was more brutal than the Battle of Jutland in World War I, and bloodier than the battle of the English Channel between Germany and Germany that ended not long ago.

There is not much power left in Yamamoto's hands. The battleship Fusang is currently performing missions in the Philippine waters, and for the time being, he cannot come to help. Therefore, what can be performed in the Yamamoto Fleet is the Ise ship in the Ise class battleship, as well as the Japanese ship, plus the two town house treasures of the combined fleet, the Naruto and the 6 Austrian battleship.

Of course, another King Kong-class battlecruiser is now on its way back to the homeland, and it is not a reinforcement that Yamamoto 56 can count on. So this time the Japanese navy can squander in hand, only these four battleships.

Then look at the level of these 4 battleships: the old battleship Ise and the Japanese battleship are both antiques. Their combat power is very limited, and they are all old designs with more pit fathers. The turret of each main gun is still the design of the classic boiler, ammunition depot, boiler, and ammunition depot of the Fuso-class battleship. Counting on these two battleships, Yamamoto himself knew that it was not realistic.

So he decisively played the trick of tempting the enemy deeply, using the two old battleships as his bait, and placed it in the center of the entire fleet. The responsibility of this bait fleet is to attract the attack of the US Navy fleet, as long as he can cheat The two waves of attacking fleets of the US Navy were completed.

And himself, he led the two elite battleships of the Japanese Navy so far, that is, the Nagomen and the 6 Olympic two ships, with a vote of heavy cruisers and destroyers from the flanks to the center of the US Navy ’s aircraft carrier fleet, with artillery The battle determines the outcome of this naval battle.

In other words, the Japanese navy deployed a half moon in the Solomon Islands, relying on nearby islands to hide their whereabouts, the two-wing fleet is the real killing, the middle fleet is a huge decoy-it is a US If you bite it up, the bait will break your teeth.

Yamamoto prepared two insurances, that is, his own assault fleet, and the other side hidden to the last Nanyun Zhongyi's air fleet. As long as one of their two fleets has an opportunity to attack, they can pose a deadly threat to the US fleet.

In fact, the current Japanese navy joint fleet can threaten the US military, only two large aircraft carriers under the command of Nan Yunzhong, namely the Kaga and Chicheng, and the slightly smaller aircraft carrier Long Xiang. These three aircraft carriers were held in the hands of Nan Yun, ready to attack the US fleet after the war started.

Fifty-six Yamamoto, who wanted to use two old battleships in exchange for the greatest results, was the best. And this time he did not misplace the order, and he did not make the kind of brain-destructive behavior of using the carrier as a bait and using the battleship to assault. So in this way, the joint fleet opened eight golden locks in the Solomon Islands, waiting for the US Navy to take the bait.

A Japanese old-fashioned 95-type seaplane flew slightly leisurely in the sky. The aircraft took off from the base on the Solomon Island and completed some routine patrol and reconnaissance missions for the Japanese combined fleet.

As the war gets closer and closer to this area, the implementation of such long-range reconnaissance missions has become more and more desperate. After all, the quality and quantity of US carrier-based fighters are no longer comparable to those in the early days of the war.

As one plane after another went back and forth, the Japanese navy basically stopped this practice of consuming troops. However, with the overcast of war in the Solomon Sea, this investigation was enforced again. After all, the Japanese Navy lacked the means of ocean search and could only rely on this stupid method of fishing for fish.

"Kagawa-kun, did you say this forced us to die? Knowing that the two planes that took off yesterday did not return to the base without escort, today we sent two of us out." The young pilot Chixi complained.

As the war progressed, the Japanese soldiers who had originally flown the seaplane had been added to the fighter force, and the new young pilots with poor flight skills, such as Chixi, were often sent to this reconnaissance force for exercise. work out.

The Japanese soldier named Kagawa did not put down the telescope in his hand, and while observing the wide sea, he shouted loudly: "For the future of the Great Japanese Empire, for His Majesty the Emperor ... Even if we sacrifice our lives, it should n’t be Is it? "

Kagawa is an old-fashioned traditional Japanese. In his heart, it seems to be a beautiful thing to lay down his life for His Majesty the Emperor. A few days ago, Marshal Yamamoto inspected their seaplane take-off base and encouraged Kagawa a few words. He is still reminiscing about the moment that made his blood boil, so his mind is full of loyalty and responsibility.

Knowing that, it is also frankly saying, driving this old-fashioned 95 seaplane, Chixi dared to fly towards the originally planned sea area. This old-fashioned seaplane was designed in 1933 and entered service in 1935. At that time, it was considered a fairly good seaplane, but now it is a kind of garbage that can't be beaten compared to the high-quality fighters in the United States. Too.

Therefore, to use this aircraft to investigate the US Navy ’s movements is actually to let soldiers die. Unfortunately, in the vast sea, the position of the current enemy fleet is the prelude to the attack. Although it knows that it will die, Yamamoto Fifty-six still sent batches of reconnaissance planes, after all, this was the biggest gamble in his life.

Through some sparse clouds, the four American fighter engines roared and dived down from high altitude. Chixi was so scared that he quickly shook the joystick in his hand, trying to avoid the attack of the American fighter. However, his aerospace flexibility was obviously affected by the buoy, and he did not succeed in getting rid of the American fighter ’s pursuit.

"This is the O4 reconnaissance aircraft! This is the O4 reconnaissance aircraft! We have the aircraft of the US fleet!" In the back seat, Kagawa reported his own voice loudly, just as he transmitted his own radio signal, the American fighter It opened fire.

"Suddenly!" A row of bullets hit the double-layered wing on the left side of Kagawa's front. The dense bullet holes extended along the wing, almost turning the wing into a sieve. In order to deal with zero-type fighters, the US Navy did not install large-caliber cannons like German fighters on the aircraft, but generally used 12.7 mm caliber machine guns, using a dense barrage to eliminate flexible zeros.

Therefore, in the Pacific Ocean, it is rare to see the fragmentation of the opponent's plane with a single shell. On the contrary, the air combat here is longer, but the same blood and cruelty are desperate.

Kagawa used the radio to report what he saw over and over again. He knew that they were four very powerful p-4o naval fighters, and they were models with improved motives. Because the nose of this aircraft is special, it is very easy to recognize. He kept repeating everything he saw, allowing the other party's plane to knock everything around him with a machine gun.

The bullet of a heavy machine gun penetrated the thin skin of the aircraft, and then hit the Chixi flying the plane. After penetrating his head, he penetrated his seat, and then I did not know what the reason was. Black smoke came out, so Kagawa could not see exactly what had happened in front of him.

"Long live the Great Japanese Empire! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! I am Kagawa! My plane was hit! I was crashing!" He looked around, and the angle of the sea level in his distance was already very strange, and then he just I felt the plane crashing into the sea, and then there was boundless darkness, coming from all directions.

"My Excellency Marshal! The news came from the seaplane base on the 7th island. One of their seaplanes appeared on the aircraft of the US aircraft carrier fleet, 7o kilometers north of the Solomon Islands." Behind Liu, reported the valuable information passed by the investigative forces.

Fifty-six Yamamoto nodded, indicating to his staff that he heard the other party's report clearly, and then Yamamoto still said nothing, as if waiting for some news. 7o kilometers is still too far for him. He has to wait and wait until the US Navy fleet bites the fleet of two battleships of Ise and Nissho. Then, it was his chance to start to work.

"Wait! Wait again! Wait for the Americans to engage with Ise first! There is only one chance!" Yamamoto stood on the bridge of the battleship Nagato, looked at the calm sea in the distance, and murmured: "South Yunjun, I ca n’t send you a radio to confirm your position. I hope that everything is going well on your side. The future of the Great Japanese Empire is here to fight! ”

On the flagship of the US Navy Fleet 7 km away, General Halsey issued his own attack order: "Since two battleships of the Japanese Navy have already appeared, let us not be polite ... Take off the plane and start attacking!"

With his order, the propellers of the two attack aircraft with bombs on the deck of the US Navy ’s aircraft carrier fleet began to rotate, and the entire aircraft carrier fleet sailed against the wind, and the fleet began to spread out.

Halsey looked at the horizontal bombers that formed an attack formation in the sky after takeoff, and smiled at his men and said, "Gentlemen, the battle of the Solomon Islands has begun!"
