SHIELD's new recruits

As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Wesley has come to the front line. He is on the flagship aircraft carrier of the First Task Force. Daily bombing reports.

"General, are we going to bomb like this?" asked the commander of the Navy's First Task Force beside him.

"Yes, if the bombing continues like this, they will either surrender or rush out to a decisive battle, it depends on their own choice, so you have to order the submarine force to pay attention to the movement of the fleet, and the reconnaissance planes must also patrol the surrounding area on a large scale every day. Don't let the enemy take the lead."

"Yes, we understand."

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

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

"Order, the submarine force monitors the enemy fleet in sections, and must 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 be able to return for a while, so they must be careful, especially It is at night to speed up the construction work of Mt. Suribachi."

"Yes." The staff officer went out to convey the order.

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

"What? Are you afraid that something will happen to me?" Wesley looked at each other with a smile.

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

"No, don't worry, let the whole world see how powerful the U.S. Air Force and Naval Air Force are this time. Wouldn't I know about the warships and aircraft I designed? Their performance surpasses that of the other, and now I have discovered their strengths. movement, then they won’t be allowed to run away, the Pacific Ocean is now full of our submarines and patrol planes, where can they go?”

Naturally, Wesley was not afraid. He would even use the 'Black Knight' when necessary, even if he was exposed, he would definitely defeat the Japanese navy. He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

Afterwards, telegrams were sent, and the submarine force perfectly carried out the tracking task. The conventional submarine designed by Wesley himself could not be detected by the enemy's sonar, and the technological gap was too great.

Three days later, the enemy fleet has approached the Ryukyu Islands. They plan to sneak attack. Although there is no intelligence now, they plan to bomb the Ryukyu Air Force Airport and then fight the fleet here. In their thinking, the American fleet is at least divided into Two parts, or even three parts, so that they have a chance to break through one by one.

Wesley looked at the other party's situation and laughed, "Order the radar to fully turn on, the fleet began to form an air defense formation, the fighter jets were ready to take off, the land-based aviation unit was ready for air defense, all the fighter planes at the airport were ready to take off, and the bomber unit was dispatched later. One targets an enemy aircraft carrier, and the second targets an enemy battleship."

"Yes." The ten main aircraft carriers of the Pacific Fleet began to get busy, and 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 directions.

"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 the commander, this kind of thinking is unacceptable, don't underestimate your opponent at any time, and the opponent has a submarine force, don't you understand this? I didn't say anti-submarine specifically , You haven’t realized this until now, and you still want to give up air defense?”

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

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

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

"I don't have many opportunities to command naval battles. You can learn as much as you want this time. The navy will depend on you in the future."

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

"Report, the planes of the enemy fleet have been released, and the first wave of attack will arrive at our base in 10 minutes."

"Okay, order the base fighters to take off to fight, order the fleet planes to start flying, directly attack the main force of the enemy fleet, and order the submarine forces to concentrate in the enemy's surrounding sea area and surround them from a long distance, but no attack is allowed without my order."

"Yes."

Because Ryukyu is an archipelago, the area is not large, and time is tight, so Wesley directly spread out the airport and placed 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 [-] fighters went up to meet them. The difference in strength was too great, and the Japanese Zero fighters had not yet appeared. Now is the best time to defeat them.

Brimstone's base planes did not bomb today, but all concentrated on preparing for possible attacks, but they are destined to have no chance.

The fighters of the two sides met in the air, and the imitation P-51 fighter numbered G-3 fighter directly started the massacre. The performance of the fighter that surpassed the opponent by a level was fully exerted, and the flexible air maneuverability made the enemy have no power to fight back, let alone the number. gap.

The naval aviation has already found the enemy's fleet, and the opponent has not formed an air defense formation. They came here for a sneak attack this time, and they are not prepared to fight, but are prepared to escape at any time.

"Good opportunity, the formation is divided into groups, and the first target is to attack the aircraft carrier, starting now." The team leader directly issued an order, and then the first attack formation of ten aircraft carriers and [-] fighters began to carve up the enemy's main force.

"Air strike..." With a shrill roar, the Japanese fleet was thrown into chaos. They didn't expect that they would be spotted so quickly, and the number of fighter planes was too terrifying.

At this time, Wesley directly ordered the second wave of attack formations to set off, and the difference was only 10 to [-] minutes. "Commander, in this way, we have no fighters to defend."

"That's right, we don't need defense. Didn't you say that? Besides, our air defense formation is not a decoration. It must be invested when it's time to invest. This is the best opportunity to annihilate the enemy. Don't miss it." Otherwise, the following things will be a little troublesome, order eight heavy cruisers, 32 light cruisers, and [-] destroyers to form an attack formation, and go directly to the enemy fleet's sea area, but you are not going to fight, but to cut off their retreat of."

"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.
