Take Taobao to fight against Japan

Yang Fan nodded happily, turned around immediately, walked out of the room, and walked straight to the parking lot.

A few minutes later, Yang Fan drove to the headquarters of the Huben Army. At this time, Huang Hong had been waiting at the door for a long time.

"Boss, this is a telegram from Commander Liu!"

After Yang Fan walked out of the cab, Huang Hong immediately offered the telegram with both hands.

"Ah."

Yang Fan nodded lightly, took the telegram and read it carefully.

"I didn't expect the little devil to have such a hand!"

After a while, the corners of Yang Fan's mouth twitched slightly, and he knew all about the notorious kamikaze special attack team.

But he did not expect that this thing would be so cruel after it was used on a large scale for the first time in the current time and space. It sank 8 US aircraft carriers in one go, and severely damaged the other 6 aircraft carriers, which suddenly made the wealthy American capital Had to back away first.

Huang Hong took a deep breath and said, "Yeah, the Japanese devils are really crazy. I thought they would be like grasshoppers after autumn, but they didn't expect such a big thunder to burst out suddenly!

All of a sudden, the offensive rhythm of the U.S. military is completely disrupted, and there may be an even worse situation! "

"Although the situation is worse, it's not a big problem. In the final analysis, it depends on the overall national strength!"

Yang Fan smiled. Anyway, the ground troops trapped on Saipan were all American soldiers, and they had nothing to do with him, so he naturally didn't need to worry about getting angry.

"Having said that, I'm afraid it won't be that simple."

Huang Hong didn't understand what Yang Fan was thinking, but said anxiously, "Boss, the Japanese have suffered too much in the previous series of island battles, and they must be eager to find their place.

This repelled the Allied fleet, and the landing troops on the island will definitely suffer extremely cruel revenge! "

At present, the United States is the most powerful mainstay of the Allied camp and one of the spiritual pillars of the Allied forces.

Moreover, the progress of the Allied forces in the Pacific battlefield is closely related to the domestic war in China!

Huang Hong was naturally anxious, and he didn't want to see the U.S. military suffer heavy losses and slow down the advancement of the Pacific battlefield.

"I know, but this matter is not something that can be resolved in a hurry."

Yang Fan smiled, and naturally he would not express his inner dark thoughts, but said loudly, "Call Commander Liu immediately, as a member of the Allied Forces, we must share the same hatred!

Uniting all forces to resist Japan is also the principle we have always adhered to. At this critical moment, we must not lose the chain!

Let him immediately execute the order of the Allied Forces Headquarters, go to the Mariana Islands with the Allied Forces fleet to relieve the siege, and do everything possible to deal a heavy blow to the Japanese army!

In addition, the electric order submarine force also went to the Mariana Islands to gather at the fastest speed, each looking for a fighter plane to deal a merciless blow to the Japanese fleet! "

"Yes!"

Huang Hong hurriedly took orders and left.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Fan picked up the phone on the table and called Jiao Xuezhi, Miao Dadong and others. Anyway, he was free, so he simply called them over to discuss the changes in the situation in the Pacific battlefield and discuss the current domestic war by the way. .

"Yoxi, great work! The U.S. fleet has completely left the Mariana Islands, and it's time for the Japanese Empire to launch the most brutal counterattack."

At this moment, Saito Yoshiji, who learned that the U.S. fleet had evacuated in a hurry and the Japanese mobile fleet was rushing to rescue him, screamed with excitement, completely forgetting the pain of being beaten all over the floor.

Jingji Jingheng was very cautious, and quickly reminded loudly: "Saito-kun, I think it is still necessary to implement sufficient artillery preparations for the US landing troops.

We must know that the firepower of the US landing force is still very strong, the strength is quite sufficient, and it also occupies a large number of favorable terrain.

Without the powerful fire support of sea and air forces, it would be difficult for the empire's ground forces to break through directly! "

Jingji Jingheng was really worried that Saito Yoshiji, who didn't remember to eat but not hit, would make the army go crazy and reckless again.

You know, at the beginning, it was because of Yoshiji Saito's recklessness that he organized continuous counterattacks against the powerful sea and air forces and ground firepower of the Allied forces.

As a result, after several battles, not only nearly [-] people were killed or injured, but also the incomparably precious chariot troops were completely lost, and their vitality was severely damaged, which made people desperate to the point of madness.

"What Jing Heng said is very true, now is also the time to let these damn Yankees taste the taste of being bombed indiscriminately!"

Saito Yoshiji nodded kindly, and then said, "The so-called military speed is precious. Now that we have absolute air supremacy, we should immediately request air support!"

Nan Yunzhong nodded and said: "Yes, without further ado, the U.S. military will definitely not abandon the landing force on the island, they will definitely come back to rescue as quickly as possible, we must seize every minute and every second!"

"Since this is the case, what are we waiting for? Hurry up and send power to Rota Island and Guam immediately, and let them immediately send air forces to help!"

Saito Yoshiji waved his hand excitedly, wishing he could start the runaway mode now and blow up all the US landing troops to pieces.

At this time, those pilots who had just experienced the war and were still in a state of excitement, after receiving the relevant orders, also screamed with excitement, and soon organized several batches of bombing formations, and launched an attack on the US military on Saipan. Non-stop bombing of defensive positions.

The U.S. landing troops, who had anticipated this situation for a long time, naturally could not wait to be bombed foolishly, and had already started digging air defense bunkers, or hid in nearby caves and crypts.

Saipan has a large strategic space, and the terrain is complex enough. There are many caves formed by volcanic terrain, which can be used as natural fortifications.

At present, the U.S. military has occupied more than half of the island, so there is naturally a lot of room for maneuver. Therefore, even if the Japanese army has the upper hand in the sea and air, it is really not an easy task to eat up the U.S. landing troops in a hurry. .

Chapter 1610 Can only be a luxury

At 6 o'clock in the morning on June 24, after traveling at full speed overnight, the Ozawa fleet finally arrived at Tanapan Port in the north of Saipan Island.

At this time, the US military on Saipan had been bombed indiscriminately for more than ten hours, paying a considerable price of casualties.

In particular, the island's position at Aslilo Airport in the south has been given special attention, and the surface fortifications have been completely destroyed.

After receiving multiple large-scale air strikes from the Air Force, Yoshiji Saito finally couldn't bear it again and organized several small-scale tentative attacks. However, under the tenacious resistance of the US defense forces, no substantial results were achieved.

Therefore, Yoshiji Saito could only temporarily give up and wait patiently for the arrival of the Japanese fleet, and then transport the troops to the Marcheches Beach in the south of the island through the fleet to carry out anti-landing operations and attack the US troops on both sides.

After arriving in Saipan, Ozawa Jisaburo soon met Saito Yoshiji, Nagumo Tadaichi and others who had been waiting at the port for a long time.

Haguro heavy cruiser command cabin.

After taking his seat, Saito Yoshiji couldn't wait to stretch out his hand and praised: "This time the combined fleet of the Philippine Navy won a complete victory, severely damaged the US fleet in one fell swoop, and brought a large amount of supplies, which really solved the urgent need of Saipan.

Ozawa-kun, you can be said to have made great contributions. Such great achievements will definitely be famous in history and will be remembered forever by the people of Yamato! "

Jingji Jingji, chief of staff of the 31st Army, nodded and agreed: "Yes, if the Imperial Navy Mobile Fleet led by Ozawa-kun did not turn the tide, Saipan may have completely fallen into the enemy's hands."

Chisaburo Ozawa listened very comfortably, but he said modestly: "Where, where, in the final analysis, it depends on the blessing of His Majesty the Emperor and the concerted efforts of the air warriors of the Empire of Japan." !"

Nan Yunzhong said with a smile: "Ozawa-kun, you don't have to be too modest. You have indeed made great contributions to this battle. You have effectively reversed the situation and created a brilliant war miracle."

Immediately afterwards, Nanyun Zhongyi changed the subject, "It's just that the current situation is still very serious, and we are far from over the crisis.

Although the aircraft carrier group of the US Fifth Fleet suffered heavy losses, they can regain strong support in a short period of time. Maybe the Southwest Pacific Theater has sent reinforcements.

The Americans will never abandon the army forces on the island. I expect that the time should not exceed three days, and they will definitely make a comeback.

Therefore, the most important thing for us at present is to pursue the victory and wipe out the enemy forces on the island as much as possible, so as to completely resolve the crisis on Saipan. "

Jisaburo Ozawa immediately said with a solemn expression: "What Nan Yun-kun said is very true. In the final analysis, the industrial production capacity and war potential of the empire are far inferior to that of the United States. To the front line!"

Saito Yoshiji quickly continued: "So, next, please ask Ozawa-kun to provide help so that the warriors of the Imperial Army can successfully land on the southern beach of the island and carry out a two-sided attack on the US landing forces."

"Please don't worry Saito-kun, this is the responsibility of the Imperial Navy, and it's time to let all these damn Yankees die!"

Naturally, Jisaburo Ozawa knew that they would not have much time left, so he did not procrastinate, and nodded happily.

Immediately afterwards, the Japanese fleet began artillery preparations for the landing battle. Naval guns of various sizes and calibers bombarded the US positions for free.

Two hours later, thousands of Japanese troops arrived on the southern beach of Markages in a transport ship, and under the cover of artillery fire from the fleet, they launched a counterattack against the Aslilo Airport stationed by the US military.

After several hours of bloody battle, until three o'clock in the afternoon, more than 350 US marines who stayed at the airport died after annihilating more than 700 Japanese soldiers. Aslilo Airport fell into the hands of the Japanese army again.

At this time, the main force of the US military had already retreated to the jungle and mountains with complex terrain, and built several lines of defense in order to stand firm and wait for help.

Saito Yoshiji and others, who had already suffocated for a long time, naturally could not be satisfied with the victory of regaining the Aslilo Airport. After a short rest, they ordered the troops to start attacking from the north and south at the same time, in order to make a quick decision.

It's just that before that, the Japanese defensive troops in Saipan had suffered more than half of the casualties in many counterattacks and positional battles, especially the casualties of the most elite troops.

Another thing to say is that the U.S. landing force faced double suppression from the Japanese army’s naval and air firepower, but after all, the U.S. military’s deployment of firepower is very powerful, and the officers and soldiers’ military literacy is also very strong. They still have considerable combat effectiveness in favorable defensive terrain. Lamb to slaughter.

Therefore, although Yoshiji Saito and others eagerly want to eat tens of thousands of US landing troops in one go in just two or three days, it can only be a luxury in the end.

The two sides fought fiercely until dark, and the exhausted Japanese attacking force had to suspend the attack.

Because for them, fighting at night has become an extremely unfavorable combat environment, and they cannot get effective sea and air fire support. If they force night fighting, it will only be worth the loss.

However, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps blowing. The U.S. military commander is not a good man or woman. He knew very well that it is not a good strategy to stick to it and wait for help, so he organized several elite commandos to attack the Japanese positions in the middle of the night, and achieved quite good results. Many positions were recovered.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was not yet completely bright, and the Japanese bomber fleet and naval fleet began to bombard and prepare for artillery fire.

More than an hour later, the fierce and brutal ground offensive and defensive battle started again.

At 6 pm on June 25th, the command module of the aircraft carrier Zhenyuan.

"Report to the commander, our reconnaissance plane has spotted the main force of the Fifth Fleet 450 nautical miles to the northeast!"

"Reporting to the commander, the reconnaissance plane has sent back news that they have discovered the main force of the Japanese fleet in the Saipan waters, and through aerial observation, the Japanese ground forces on Saipan are attacking the US positions with all their strength. The situation is very critical!"

"Reporting to the commander, General Spruance, the commander of the Fifth Fleet, sent a telegram requesting our department to immediately dispatch the carrier-based aircraft fleet to attack the Japanese fleet and provide fire support to the US landing forces on Saipan."

At this time, the Huben Army naval expedition fleet led by Liu Qiang traveled day and night, and finally arrived at the sea area more than 400 nautical miles southeast of Saipan Island. At this time, the Japanese fleet and Saipan Island had entered the attack radius of the carrier-based aircraft.

The U.S. military is well aware of the importance of the Mariana Islands to Japan, and has long judged that they will definitely do their best to defend. Therefore, when the Battle of the Mariana Islands started, the U.S. military was fully prepared.

Nimitz mobilized an unprecedentedly powerful fleet, and also mobilized part of the fleet from MacArthur, but he didn't expect that he would be bitten back by the Japanese army, and he had to ask for further reinforcements.

After MacArthur considered it, he dispatched all members of the Huben Navy Expeditionary Fleet that was participating in the Papua Peninsula campaign for reinforcements, and the rest of the troops continued to attack the Papua Peninsula.

Chapter 1611 Wounded beasts are the most dangerous

"Call back General Spruance, our carrier-based air fleet will take off immediately, and ask the Fifth Fleet to cooperate with the operation to carry out a devastating blow to the enemy ships, so as to relieve the crisis of the Saipan landing force as soon as possible!"

The corner of Liu Qiang's mouth twitched slightly. Although it felt wonderful to be the savior in the finale, he must not be taken advantage of. There is no problem in attacking the Japanese air force and ground fire support.

But to send bombers and torpedo planes to intercept and bomb the fleet against the powerful anti-aircraft firepower of Japanese fighter planes and the fleet, it would be a bit ironic.

After a long period of development, the number of aircraft carriers under the Huben Navy's expeditionary fleet has reached 13, 2 light cruisers, 4 destroyers, and 16 submarines. If additional auxiliary ships such as supply ships and transport ships are added, the total number of ships will reach 54 ships were ordered, and the total force exceeded 2.4!

At this time, the expedition fleet alone can be described as strong soldiers and strong horses.

But as the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. After spending a long time with Yang Fan, Liu Qiang naturally learned Yang Fan's black-bellied disposition of "you can eat anything, but you can't suffer".

Soon, following Liu Qiang's order, the first wave of attack aircraft composed of 160 P-47N Thunder fighter jets took off from the deck of the aircraft carrier, formed a formation in the air, and headed straight to Saipan.

Although the Huben Naval Expeditionary Fleet can reach out for equipment and supplies from the United States, the current strategic center of the Allied Forces is in the European battlefield, and almost all of the most advanced P-47N Thunder fighter jets produced are shipped to the European battlefield.

Not to mention that the Huben Navy has no way to get enough P-47N from the United States, even the US fleet itself is the same, and can only rely on F6F Hellcat carrier-based aircraft.

Therefore, asking for help is worse than asking for yourself. In order to ensure the survival rate of his officers and soldiers on the battlefield to the greatest extent, Yang Fan naturally had to do it himself. Through a series of moves and transfers, he equipped his troops with the most advanced weapons and equipment and perfect logistics support!

At the same time, the Fifth Fleet also took off with more than 100 attack aircraft groups, and cooperated with the Huben Army fighter group to attack Saipan Island.

After two days of easing up, the Fifth Fleet has recovered. Although a large number of aircraft carriers were sunk and injured, and a large number of carrier-based aircraft were sunk or sank into the seabed with the aircraft carriers, their own background is still there, and they still have strong attack power.

It's just that they don't have the confidence and strength to toughen up the Japanese fleet, as well as the Japanese land-based combat fleets in the Ogasawara Islands, Rota Island, Guam and other places.

So they can only wait far away for the arrival of reinforcements, until now, they finally don't have to swallow their anger anymore!

"Woo~woo~woo~"

"No, air strike, the enemy plane is coming to attack!"

"Report, Your Excellency Commander, a large number of enemy planes are flying towards Saipan from the southeast!"

"Report, there are a large number of enemy planes approaching rapidly from the northeast!"

As the two attack aircraft fleets attacked at full speed, the radar station and the warning point set up by the Japanese army discovered the situation one after another, and these urgent news were naturally reported to the Japanese army headquarters in Saipan and Jisaburo Ozawa as soon as possible.

"Baga! The reinforcements came so fast, it's damned!"

After hearing the news, Yoshiji Saito's face turned dark immediately. Although this situation had been predicted for a long time, it was at least half a day earlier than expected.

What made Saito Yoshiji even more heartbroken was that despite their absolute sea and air superiority in the past two days, they had exhausted all means, but they were still unable to fully break through the core defense lines firmly held by the US military. It's just that the outer line of defense has changed hands several times!

Although, this was much stronger than their previous almost suicidal counterattack. With the heavy casualties of the Japanese attacking troops, it caused great casualties to the U.S. troops. At least 3500 people were killed and wounded, and more than half of the lost ground was regained.

However, compared with the grand strategic goal of Yoshiji Saito and others who want to wipe out the US landing force, it is far, far behind!

Jingji Jingji said with a dark face: "It's really troublesome now, but I don't know whether the Imperial Air Force can continue to resist their attack.

If the air supremacy is lost, I am afraid that the situation will soon be reversed again. "

Nanyun Zhongyi said worriedly: "Yes, after all, the overall strength of the empire is still too weak, and it can't stand the long-term consumption at all.

Since they dare to attack again, it proves that they already have quite strong aviation power.

In this case, the naval fleet may no longer be able to give us enough help in this way. "

"Baga, ah Lu, we must not fall by the wayside!"

Thinking that he was so desperate that he wanted to commit seppuku, and even launched a final suicide attack at any cost, Saito Yoshiji's eyes became fierce in an instant, and he ordered viciously to a communication staff officer,
