Chapter 690 Decoy

At the naval base, Lieutenant General Hudson, the commander of the Guam squadron of the US Pacific Fleet, sat in the office, raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and asked, "How is Mr. Gao?"

A naval captain said: "I just went to see it, and the telecommunications room said it would be a result soon."

Hudson said: "If Mr. Gao can really decipher the Japanese telegram, it means that the legends about Mr. Gao are true. There are really people in the world who are omniscient."

At this moment, footsteps came from outside. A lieutenant colonel of the Mi army pushed the door and said excitedly: "General, Mr. Gao has really deciphered the Japanese army's telegram."

The lieutenant colonel is the director of the telecommunications office of the naval base. From this morning, Gao Jiu has been helping them decipher the Japanese telegrams.

Hudson said happily: "This is incredible, where is Mr. Gao?"

Lieutenant Colonel said, "Mr. Gao will be convenient, and you will be here soon."

Soon, Gao Jiu came to Hudson's office.

Hudson had finished reading the telegram at this time and said to Gao Jiu: "Mr. Gao, it seems that your analysis and judgment are correct. There is indeed a Japanese special-mix fleet in the Coral Sea, including 16 Japanese naval ships, including aircraft carriers. They were specifically trying to intercept you, Mr. Gao.

There are 42 carrier-based aircraft on the Japanese aircraft carriers operating in the Coral Sea, and there are a large number of anti-aircraft artillery on various ships. If your aircraft wants to fly over the Coral Sea, it will probably be difficult to do it in the short term."

Gao Jiu sat on the chair, thinking while savoring a cup of coffee.

After a moment, he stood up and walked to the chart hanging on the office wall. Hudson also stood up and followed.

Gao Jiu asked: "General Hudson, how many troops are your fleet under you? Is it easy to disclose?"

Hudson said: "It doesn't matter, Mr. Gao, currently there are two aircraft carriers, three cruisers, twenty-two destroyers, and twenty-nine other ships at the naval base."

Gao Jiu asked: "If your fleet attacks this special-mixed fleet of the Japanese army, are you sure of winning?"

Hudson was a little surprised and asked, "Mr. Gao, do you mean, let my fleet eat this Japanese special-mix fleet?"

Gao Jiu nodded and said, "That's what I mean."

Hudson said: "If we don't consider other factors, we are sure to eat the Japanese special mixed fleet.

However, the current waters in which the Japanese special-mix fleet is located are too close to the Strait of Malacca. The combat area is within the combat radius of the Japanese land-based aviation forces. Japanese naval ships from the Philippines and Malaysia can also quickly come to reinforce. Not only that, we don’t know much about the situation in that area and dare not go to that area to fight the Japanese army.”

Gao Jiu picked up a pencil, drew a red circle in the sea northeast of the current location of the Japanese Special Mixed Fleet, and asked: "If the Japanese Special Mixed Fleet arrived in this area, what do you think?"

Hudson's eyes lit up and he said, "If the Japanese special-mix fleet drove into this area, they would not be able to receive reinforcements from other Japanese troops. With the strength of my fleet, they could eat them."

Speaking of this, his eyes dimmed again, and he shook his head and said, "But the Japanese army is also very cautious. How could they stay away from the combat range of land-based aviation and enter the depths of the Pacific Ocean?"

Gao Jiu smiled confidently and said, "Maybe, these Japanese are coming for me. If I pass through that area of ​​water, they will definitely go to that area to intercept it."

Hudson understood what Gao Jiu meant, but he still felt a little confused. He said, "Mr. Gao, how can the Japanese know that you want to fly over that sea?"

Gao Jiu did not answer his words, but looked at the director of the telecommunications office.

The director of the telecommunications office thoughtfully and said, "Mr. Gao, what do you mean is that we revealed in the telegram that you are going to bypass the Coral Sea and fly to the No. 3 sea area, and try to get the Japanese to intercept the telegram?"

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "That's right, that's exactly what it means."

Although the director of the telecommunications office understood this truth, he didn't know what to do. He said: "Mr. Gao, how should the telegram be drafted?"

Gao Jiu had to pass several telegrams to achieve what he wanted to achieve, so he went to the telecommunications room and sent the newspaper in person.

Hudson was also curious and followed.

Chongqing, Military Command Headquarters.

Director Li of the Intelligence Department took the telegram from Gao Jiu and found the boss, saying, "Boss, Brother Gao sent a telegram and asked us to cooperate with him. But Brother Gao did not say what he was going to do specifically. How should you deal with this matter?"

The boss looked at the content of the telegram and said, "Gao Jiu naturally has his own reason for doing things. His current situation must be inconvenient to say it directly. No matter what he wants to do, we will cooperate according to his requirements."

Director Li said: "I understand. I will send a telegram to the Guilin side of the Military Commission."

Today, most of Guangxi is still controlled by the Guangxi troops in the Fifth War Zone. The Guilin Station of the Military Command received an order from the Military Command Headquarters and sent him a telegram in accordance with Gao Jiu's request.

After receiving the telegram, Gao Jiu sent a telegram to the Guilin Station of the Military Control Commission.

Several telegrams from both sides were communicated in succession, and telegrams from Guam and Guilin were shuttled through the air.

On the sea surface of the Coral Sea, a huge Japanese special-mix fleet floated. On the flagship cruiser of the Special-mix fleet, the commander of the Japanese fleet was listening to the report of the Fleet Telecommunications Division Chief.

He said: "Hissar Commander, we have received continuous telegrams from Guam to Guangxi, China. The contents of the telegrams cannot be deciphered for the time being."

The commander asked, "What the hell do you want to say? Is there anything special about these telegrams?"

He was a little dissatisfied and did not understand what the Telecommunications Director wanted to say to him with these undeciphered telegrams.

The head of the telecommunications department said: "Your Excellency Commander, although we cannot decipher these telegrams for the time being, there are some strange things in the telegrams, in which the transport aircraft and a number nine are mentioned repeatedly."

Like the American Navy, the Japanese constantly intercepted the other party's telegrams and then found the words that often appeared. After various words accumulated to a certain level, they could guess the meaning of some of them, the transport aircraft and the meaning of the capital Chinese character Nine, which they could distinguish.

The chief of the telecommunications section said: "Hiss Commander, according to the telegram sent by the base camp, Gao Jiu was about to fly over the Coral Sea, so we came here to intercept it. However, Gao Jiu had clearly left New York, the United States. According to the itinerary, he had arrived at the naval base of the American army in Guam. They expected that he should refuel there and then continue to fly to the Golden Triangle.

But we have been waiting for two days and still haven't found any trace of Gao Jiu. Based on these strange telegrams that have appeared now, we analyze these telegrams, which should be related to Gao Jiu. Perhaps he will not fly directly to the Golden Triangle, but to Guangxi in China."

When the commander heard this, he stood up, walked to the chart, observed for a while, and said, "Your speculation is completely possible."

The Chief of Staff of the Fleet said: "His Excellency Commander, if Gao Jiu really took a transport plane and passed through the waters in that area, our carrier-based aircraft could not cover there, and he would probably be unable to intercept him.

However, if we go to the No. 3 waters, which are far away from the naval base, we will have to fight alone. What should we do about this matter? Please decide on the commander."

The commander did not speak, frowned and thought there. After thinking for a long time, he said decisively: "Annihilation of Gao Jiu is an order issued by the base camp. This matter is crucial. It is worthwhile to be able to complete this task even if you take risks. Order the special fleet to go to the No. 3 waters immediately."

Shortly after Gao Jiu sent out the telegram, several reconnaissance planes flew out from Guam's Mid-American Naval Base, but the reconnaissance planes still did not enter the Coral Sea. They were hovering nearby and receiving radio signals from the Japanese army.

In Hudson's office, Gao Jiu and Hudson are waiting for news.

The Telecommunications Section Chief hurried into the office and said excitedly: "Mr. Gao, the Japanese have been fooled. Their special-mix fleet is heading towards the No. 3 waters."

Hudson was very excited, and he immediately ordered the fleet to start the anchor and immediately headed to the No. 3 waters.

Soon after, the huge American naval fleet, including two aircraft carriers, sailed to the No. 3 waters. In order to avoid being discovered by the Japanese special mixed fleet, they kept radio silent.

In the early morning of April 29, the reconnaissance plane of the Japanese special-mix fleet suddenly discovered that the figure of the Mid-armed aircraft appeared in the clouds in the southwest direction.

At the beginning, they were still excited and thought that Gao Jiu, whom they were waiting for, finally appeared.

However, they soon discovered that something was wrong. What appeared ahead was not transport planes, but fighter planes and bombers, and not one or two planes, but a huge fleet of aircraft.

While returning urgently, the Japanese reconnaissance plane pilot reported what they saw.

After receiving the report, the commander of the Japanese special-mix fleet immediately realized the huge danger. He now knew that the special-mix fleet was ambushed by the Mid-Fleet.

While ordering to find out the enemy's fleet's strength as soon as possible, he ordered the fleet to prepare for combat and prepare to face the invading enemy.

With the orders coming from the command ship, a shrill alarm sounded from the Japanese ships, and the officers and soldiers took action urgently and entered their respective combat posts.

On the USS Evian aircraft carrier, the fighter jets on combat readiness immediately took off and went to intercept the Mi army's fleet.

The naval officers and soldiers in charge of air defense pointed an anti-aircraft gun and an anti-aircraft machine gun into the sky. Unfortunately, their movements were still one step slower.

Only three carrier-based aircraft on the USS Eyun aircraft carrier took off, and a group of American troops appeared in the sky. Their target was very clear and they flew directly to the Japanese aircraft carrier. The Japanese destroyers escorted the Japanese army in front of the aircraft carrier, and all the anti-aircraft artillery fired violently into the air.

However, the bomber group of the USS Evian bombers completely ignored the interception of Japanese air defense artillery and rushed down at the Japanese aircraft carrier Evian. The sound of artillery rumbling on the sea, and the bombers of the USS Avoid in the sky were constantly bombed to explode in the air or fell down with black smoke.

However, the number of American bombers was too large. They broke through the interception of Japanese air defense firepower and finally arrived above the Japanese aircraft carrier Evian. Huge aviation bombs fell on the deck of the aircraft carrier and exploded violently.

On the deck of the aircraft carrier, the Japanese plane that was preparing to take off encountered a violent explosion and was broken into pieces. The ammunition she carried with her also exploded. Soon, the aircraft carrier became a sea of ​​fire.

When the commander of the Japanese special-mix fleet saw this situation, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken. He knew that they had failed in this battle.

The deck of the aircraft carrier was destroyed by bombs, and the carrier-based aircraft could no longer take off. The US army firmly grasped the air supremacy on the battlefield. If this war continues, the Japanese army will undoubtedly be defeated.

The commander immediately ordered the special mixed fleet to retreat to the Coral Sea. At this moment, the bomber group that took off from another American aircraft carrier also flew over and dropped a large number of bombs again. The Japanese aircraft carrier was hit by at least 30 aviation bombs during these two waves of fierce bombings.

The aircraft carrier could not withstand such a huge blow and soon tilted and then began to sink.

Hudson, the commander of the Mid-Fleet, received a report from the air force that the Japanese aircraft carrier was sinking. He was extremely excited and ordered the carrier-based aircraft to return immediately, reload the bombs, and continue to attack other Japanese ships. At the same time, he commanded the fleet and rushed towards the Japanese fleet.

The Japanese army retreated while fighting, driving at full speed, and retreated at high speed towards the Coral Sea.

After the USS Eyun aircraft carrier was sunk, the most important target in the Japanese fleet was the fleet's flagship USS King Kong cruiser, which became the key target of the USS King Kong attack. In order to avoid the flagship being sunk by the USS King Kong air force, a large number of Japanese ships surrounded the USS King Kong cruiser and used the air defense firepower on the warship to build a dense air defense network.

A large number of bombers from the US Army chased after him and launched a fierce attack on the cruiser of the King Kong.

The Japanese aircraft carrier was quickly sunk due to a sneak attack. Now the Japanese army has already made careful preparations. The attacks of the USS King Kong cruiser by the USS. bombers were intercepted by a large number of air defense firepower. The USS. bombers suffered heavy losses. The first attack failed and eight bombers were lost.

Hudson received a report from the Air Force and felt very distressed about the bomber's losses and couldn't help but frown. After a while, he ordered the bomber to take off again and continue to attack the Japanese flagship, the King Kong.

The second attack soon failed again, and the bombers suffered losses this time reached 11.

Hudson felt very distressed, but he understood the principle of capturing the king first to capture the thief. If he wanted to annihilate the current special-mix fleet, it was crucial to destroy the Japanese flagship. Therefore, he still gritted his teeth and ordered to continue attacking the Japanese flagship, the King Kong.

The commander of the Mid-based carrier-based aircraft believed that the Japanese army's air defense firepower was too fierce and he became resistant to continuing the bombing mission. He asked Hudson to suspend the attack on the Japanese flagship King Kong.
