New Staff of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Chapter 407: naval battle

As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Wesley has come to the front line, on the flagship aircraft carrier of the First Task Force. The aircraft carrier starts with seven. The aircraft carrier No.701 is in the waters of the Ryukyu Islands. Daily bombing reports.

"General, let's just bomb it like this?" the commander of the Navy's No. 1 Task Force Fleet next to him asked.

"Yes, if the bombing continues like this, they will either surrender or rush out for a decisive battle. It's up to them to choose. So you have to order the submarine forces to pay attention to the movements of the fleet. Every day, reconnaissance planes also have to patrol the surrounding area on a large scale. Don’t let the enemy take the lead."

"Yes, we understand."

At this moment, a staff officer knocked on the door and entered, "Report that the submarine force found that the enemy fleet is gathering in the Huaxia waters." Then a telegram was passed.

After Wesley took the telegram and looked at it, the other party had gathered six aircraft carriers, a large number of battleships and cruisers, etc. Basically all the main forces of Japan were concentrated together. It is difficult to hide such a large fleet.

"Order, the submarine unit will monitor the enemy fleet in sections, and be sure to keep an eye on their movements. The Pacific Fleet is all assembled here, and the Iwo Jima base is ready for defense. The fleet will not go back for a while, so they must be careful, especially It was at night to speed up the construction of Zhebo Mountain."

"Yes." The staff officer went out to deliver orders.

The commander of the First Task Force suddenly said: "General, are you going to Guam to wait for news?"

"What? Afraid of me?" Wesley smiled and looked at each other.

"You are the commander-in-chief after all. If something goes wrong, it will be a big blow to us."

"No need. Don’t worry. This time, let the world see how powerful the U.S. Air Force and Naval Aviation are. Wouldn’t I know the warships and aircrafts I designed? The performance has surpassed each other, and now I have discovered theirs. Trends, then they won’t let them run away. The Pacific Ocean is now full of our submarines and patrol planes. Where can they go?"

Wesley is naturally not afraid. He will even use "Black Sir" when necessary. Even if he is exposed, he must defeat the Japanese navy. He has waited for this opportunity for a long time.

A telegram was sent in the following time, and the submarine unit performed the tracking mission perfectly. The conventional submarine designed by Wesley himself could not be detected by the enemy's sonar, and the technical gap was too great.

Three days later, the enemy fleet has approached the Ryukyu Islands. They plan to make a sneak attack. Although there is no intelligence now, they are planning to bomb the Ryukyu Air Force Airport and then fight the fleet here. Before they want to come, the American fleet is at least divided. Two parts, or even three parts, so that they have a chance to defeat them individually.

Wesley looked at the opponent’s situation and laughed, “Order the radar to fully power on, the fleet began to form an air defense formation, fighter jets are ready to take off, land-based aviation forces are preparing for air defense, all fighters at the airport are ready to take off, and the bomber forces are then dispatched. One is the target of the enemy aircraft carrier, and the second is the target of the enemy battleship."

"Yes." All ten aircraft carriers of the Pacific Fleet began to get busy. Hundreds of warships on the sea began to sail in formation, forming an air defense formation, and dense dual-purpose guns aimed at their respective positions.

"General, our fighter planes are enough to intercept the enemy's flight formation, why do we need to prepare for air defense?"

Wesley glanced at him, and then said: "You are a commander. This kind of thinking is undesirable. Don't underestimate your opponent at any time, and the opponent has a submarine unit. Don't you understand this? I didn't say anything about anti-submarine. , Until now you haven't realized this, still want to give up air defense?"

"Sorry General, I was negligent." The commander of the First Task Force immediately turned around and gave an order.

Destroyers and light cruisers began anti-submarine navigation. Even if the enemy's submarines are not advanced, there are not many, but precautions must be done, otherwise a torpedo may ruin an aircraft carrier.

The pre-war atmosphere made Wesley very nervous, but he himself was extremely relaxed. The commanders of the four task forces were called to the flagship No. 701 by him, and he even distributed cigars to everyone.

"I don't have many opportunities to command naval battles. You can learn as much as you can this time, and the navy will look at you in the future."

"Yes." The four commanders were very happy. This is a god-like existence. Although he has only fought in the second half of the First World War and is an army, they have no doubt whether Wesley will fight at sea. Look at those warships. As early as World War I, the first batch of warships had reserved air defense positions. What vision was this?

"Reported that the enemy fleet's planes have been released, and the first wave of attacks will reach our base in 20 minutes."

"Okay, order the base fighter planes to take off to meet, order the fleet planes to start flying, and directly attack the main force of the enemy fleet, order the submarine forces to concentrate on the enemy's surrounding waters and surround them at a distance, but no attack is allowed without my order."

"Yes."

Because Ryukyu is an archipelago, there is no area to play, and time is tight, so Wesley directly scattered the airport, placing as many planes as possible, and the location here is relatively close to the equator, even in winter, it is very warm, so there is no need to worry what.

The land-based aircraft took off directly and nearly three hundred fighters greeted them. The difference in power was too great, and the Japanese zero fighters had not yet appeared. Now is the best time to defeat them.

The base planes of the Brimstone City did not bomb today, instead they were all focused on preparing for possible attacks, but they were destined to have no chance.

The fighters of the two sides met in the air. The imitation P-51 fighters numbered G-3 fighters directly began the slaughter. The performance of fighters that surpassed each other's level was fully utilized. The flexible air mobility capabilities made the enemy unable to fight back at all, let alone the quantity. The gap is over.

As for the naval aviation, the enemy's fleet has been found, and the opponent has not formed an air defense formation. They came here in a sneak attack and were not prepared to fight, but were prepared to escape at any time.

"Good opportunity, the formation is divided into groups, the first target is to attack the aircraft carrier, and now we will start." The leader directly gave the order, and then the first attack formation of ten aircraft carriers, 500 fighters began to carve up the enemy's main force.

"Air raid..." With a stern roar, the Japanese fleet suddenly became chaotic. They didn't expect that they would be spotted in the place so soon, and the number of fighters was too terrifying.

At this time, Wesley directly ordered the second wave of attack formations to start, and the difference was only 20 minutes. "Commander, in this way, we have no fighters to defend."

"Yes, we don't need defense. Didn't you say that? Besides, our air defense formation is not a display. We must invest when we should invest. This is the best opportunity to annihilate the enemy. Don't miss it. No, the next thing will be a little troublesome. Order eight heavy cruisers, 16 light cruisers, and 32 destroyers to form an attack formation and go directly to the enemy fleet waters, but you are not going to fight, but to intercept They retreat."

"Yes."

The scale of this naval battle is unprecedented, and the number of aircraft used is unprecedented. It is also the last large-scale naval battle.
