Chapter 790 It's our turn to take action
"The Americans are in trouble again!" Meng Xiang grinned and sighed with the report of the Battle of Fiji from Shit II.
Without the preparation and testing of Midway Island and Coral Sea, and without Meng Xiang's golden fingers, Americans do not know so thoroughly about the Japanese.
When the Germans rose strongly in Europe, Americans paid more attention to the situation of the Germans. In their eyes, the Japanese, who were originally despicable and vulgar, only sneak attacks, were surprised by them with the world-famous machine Zero.
It was precisely through the zero-type fight that the Yamato-level Hinata sent the severely damaged Iowa to the bottom of the sea.
Although the Hinata was also hit by three Americans' 225 kilogram bombs and a heavy blow from a Mark13 aviation torpedo, and had to leave early when the Japanese main fleet encountered a storm and was unable to arrive on time, the Japanese won another game after the sea competition between the United States and Japan at Pearl Harbor.
In this service, the American wildcats fell 23, and the damage was caused by 27. Later, 24 big buffaloes that rushed there were shot down 18 in a short time, which was already very clumsy. The Avenger torpedoes crashed 4 in Zero and anti-aircraft artillery, which was much better than the Destroyer who lost 11.
Even the Fearless Diving Bomber lost 5 of the Japanese simple anti-aircraft artillery due to thick skin and the release of Japanese Zero fighter jets, but they had the military achievements of sinking the Frost Moon destroyer.
In this battle, although the Americans injured the Kumano heavy patrol and the Hinaga battleship, they only left two Japanese destroyers. However, they lost a Brooklyn-class light patrol, a destroyer, and the newly-in-service Iowa.
"Huh?" Meng Xiang swept one of the lines and couldn't help but feel surprised.
In this remark about the Americans' external statement, it only recognized that the loss of an Iowa-class battleship, not the first ship, the Iowa.
"Wisconsin? Interesting!" Meng Xiang couldn't help but smile.
Because of the strong support of the Americans, not only did the Yihua-class battleships come into service early, but also four ships are in service, and there are four ships built on the ship platform.
The Wisconsin and Missouri, which were supposed to be in service for 1944 years, also became the main warships of the US Navy in 1942.
After the New Jersey and Missouri rushed to the British Isle, Iowa and Wisconsin also joined the Pacific Fleet.
This time, Fletcher rode, at least in the information of the Pioneer Army, was preparing to go to Australia to cheer, but after sinking, it suddenly became Wisconsin again.
Meng Xiang was unaware of speculation that this Indian grass might be pushed out to the top of the tank.
After all, after the news of the sinking of the Iowa will hit the confidence of the American people severely. Of course, this also involves the issue of interests. At least, as the mascot of Garden State, the New Jersey, would not have been able to be hit by this bulldozer incident.
This time, 11 cargo ships of the US fleet were sunk. Although Nimitz had already transferred some of the supplies, the loss still made the United States very noisy.
At this time, even Nimitz could only abide by the case of the top tank that was intervened by Washington, and agreed that his flagship Iowa was parked in Pagopago.
He was hiding on the New Iowa at this time, studying the pros and cons of both sides in this battle.
"Their carrier-based fighter jets are very strong, and the wildcats are no match for them." Spruins frowned.
Although there are tactics and the awkward problems of many pilots experiencing the battlefield, the main reason is that the performance gap between fighter jets is large, which makes him simply not even mention the name of the Big Buffalo fighter, which has been disappointed by everyone.
In this regard, it is obvious that Americans' intelligence has lagged behind.
They just thought that the Chinese were weak, so they naturally ignored the fighter jets that were repeatedly defeated in the hands of the Chinese.
Who knows that the balance point of this battle is on this kind of fighter plane.
Six aircraft carriers were dispatched to ambush, but before they could contact the Japanese main fleet trapped in the storm, they suffered losses first at the hands of their forwards.
Although Nimitz has booked a Montana-class super battleship as a flagship, the sinking of this temporary flagship, the Iowa is definitely a shame.
"How much has their fighter plane lost?" Nimitz asked suddenly looking up.
"The information we collected was 27. However, this one was a bit inaccurate, and some photos were being identified!" Spruins said with a brow that he only asked about the Zero fighter jet.
In order to accurately record the military achievements, the fighter jets began to be equipped with photography systems one after another, but some did not, some images were unclear. Only by the pilot's report, sometimes a few aircraft were hit by a few people, and several were reported. Moreover, some injured fighter jets were reported as destroyed, and even the fighter jets that were shot down were reported.
Where is it so clear in the melee? Especially when it is linked to many interests, the military achievements are always a bit different from the facts.
After hearing his words, Nimitz knew that these 27 aircraft had a lot of moisture. Perhaps the internal statistics that Meng Xiang got directly from the Japanese were more accurate.
In this service, the Japanese Zero fighter jets strive to perfectly conquer the palace in the final stage. Except for the two aircraft carriers, only four Zero alerts were left, other fighter jets were sent out.
A total of 45 aircraft from Zero and Super Zero participated in the battle. In the second half of the battle, the pressure was high, but only 15 aircraft were lost, and 6 were damaged. On the contrary, the 97 ship attack was in the final stage, when the Zero was entangled by the wildcats, it lost 9 aircraft in a row. The 99 ship explosion also lost 6 aircraft under the double blow of the Americans' air defense firepower and fighter jets.
The losses of the Japanese torpedo planes and bombers were almost the same as those of the Americans.
But compared with the wealthy and powerful United States, such reciprocity is not conducive to Japan.
But now it's the Americans who are passive.
"It's too late to wait for a new fighter plane!" Nimitz said tiredly.
The Americans have been developing new fighter jets for a long time. The f6f Hellcat has successfully tested in the first half of the year, but it has not been officially put into production yet, let alone equipped with the current US aircraft carrier.
"The Chinese and Japanese fight against each other many times, they may have good experience!" Spruins was on the sidelines.
Since the Japanese Zero style was defeated in China and even created a super zero, it could not be regained, which means that the Chinese must have certain advantages to suppress them.
"Washington also plans to buy some fighter jets from counterfeit companies to deal with the current situation!" Nimitz nodded slightly.
The U.S. has always excluded forces from the outside world, even counterfeit and umbrella companies are not good. In addition to the secret shadow agencies picking up some money, the domestic oligarchy in the United States controls the biggest profit.
Under the struggle between several major airlines such as Boeing and Grumman in the United States, it is okay to occasionally learn from foreign products, but it is obviously impossible to use them on a large scale.
This time, one is that the counterfeit company does not belong to any country, and the other is that it requires emergency treatment. Compared with the trouble caused by the huge casualties of the pilots, the senior American executives hope to use money to solve the problem.
Of course, the game among them may delay the Americans' plan, but now the Australian continent and South Asia are already in crisis.
The Japanese were surprised to find in India that they were more obedient than the Chinese. Although the puppet troops recruited were not as good as the Chinese puppet troops, the British also did not get much help from the Indians.
Great Britain was tight, and even the more obedient Indian minions trained by the British, transferred a lot to North Africa and the British mainland. This made the British even worse in India, and half of India was occupied by the Japanese, and even began to threaten the Middle East.
The Indian Americans can't get involved, but the Middle East will not give up. Middle East oil has long become the spoils that American oligarchs plan to seize from the British, and the Japanese cannot tolerate the Japanese destroying their plans.
This requires hitting the Japanese and dragging them to Southeast Asia or Australia.
But the situation in Australia is not good either.
This time, the troop transport ship at the protection center was not seriously injured. A regiment of troops was transported to New Zealand. After a short stay, they would cross the Tasman Sea and go to Sydney.
However, their weapons and military supplies have already sunk into the Fiji Sea and cannot even get enough equipment.
In this bait mission, one-third of the materials transported were lost, and half of the materials were still in East Samoa, but it was difficult to transport this part of the materials to the Australian continent.
The Japanese's main fleet heading south had already passed through the storm of the Coral Sea to Noumea, New Caledonia.
The Americans, who had just lost an Iowa-class battleship and were at a disadvantage on the fighter plane, obviously could not penetrate the huge fleet of two Yamato-class, three Nagato-class and four aircraft carriers, blocked the blockade.
There has been news from Washington that they are asked to stand by in East Samoa, but the official order has not been issued.
With the arrival of Japan's main fleet southward, the target of the attack is no longer limited to the US support fleet, and there may be coastal defense lines on the Australian continent.
This is undoubtedly fatal.
Except for Northern Myanmar, all other places in Southeast Asia have basically fallen into the hands of the Japanese. If they lose the counterattack base on the Australian mainland, it will be difficult for Americans to interfere in Asia in the next step.
It is very difficult to pick fruits across the Pacific Ocean. Even Americans are not sure, especially in the north, there is a gradually rising China.
"Some people are already contacting Chinese people in China, and I hope they will take action on land!" Nimitz couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the debate over the huge shadow that had expanded to Alaska in China.
At the same time, Meng Xiang from afar had already issued an order to Fan Zhong: "Activate the C plan to go south! It's our turn to beat those Japanese! "
Chapter completed!
