Eight Hundred and Thirty-Seven Reinforcements Arrive

If it is said that Germany in 1939 was singing triumphant songs all the way in the military, and had an invincible demeanor, then since entering 1939, the Japanese navy on the Pacific battlefield has really had a sense of turmoil. Xi Yi Shuihan is tragic. [Fiction update fast, please search]

Despite all kinds of provocations by the Japanese navy, and even the crazy invasion of the Indian border near Myanmar by the Japanese army, they failed to attract the big fish Nimitz. Except for the occasional harassment of Wake Island by the US Navy fleet, there have been no signs of any large-scale actions.

Yamamoto Fifty-Six was completely desperate. He knew the weak nature of Japan's strength, decline, and exhaustion, and was caught by the Americans. The U.S. Navy fleet is expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although there is still a significant gap between the two sides in terms of the number of battleships, the U.S. Navy recently has three modified escort aircraft carriers in service. The number of destroyers and cruisers is even more frightening. This is not what Yamamoto wants to see , It is not the result expected by the Japanese Navy.

As the losses intensified and the war became more and more out of control, some voices doubted Yamamoto appeared in the Japanese base camp. Some people even thought that we should not wait for the failure to come, at least we should use a powerful combined fleet to fight, maybe God bless the emperor. Maybe the good wishes can really become a reality.

But everything is the same as the prediction Yamamoto said to his boss before. The Japanese navy will be invincible within one year, and may not lose within two years, but there is no guarantee for three years. Now that the year is not over, the word "invincible" of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet has become a bit ironic.

Maybe the year 1939 is a bit of a mismatch between the German Navy and the Japanese Navy. The German Navy was blocked in the port due to fuel shortages, and there was no chance to fight at sea, while the Japanese Navy was struggling near the Marshall Islands. There is no chance of a fight if you want to fight to the death. It can be said that the fleeting time is unfavorable, and everything is not going well.

This is not the only thing that annoys Yamamoto Fifty-Six. What really makes him desperate is that now that the situation has gone from bad to worse, many Japanese soldiers still cannot see clearly the embarrassment of the empire in front of them. The empire is in the most powerful era in history, an era created by them alone.

The army and the navy are still fighting each other habitually, and the intensity is so intense that even the emperor feels a headache. The army is planning to squeeze all kinds of soft persimmons, trying to enter India to seize the British colony in India. It is unrealistic to compete with the Germans in speed, occupy the Middle East first, and control more oil producing areas.

These blind and arrogant guys are not willing to spread out the map to take a closer look at the current branch of the Japanese army, spreading from the so-called "Manchuria" to Hebei, and then extending from Shandong to Shanghai and Nanjing, and then waiting for the rich in Guangzhou. There are places where Japanese soldiers are everywhere, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Philippines and Malaysia are full of Japanese soldiers.

Further to the east is Australia, which is almost a giant sinkhole,

It was so big that Japanese collective immigration could not fill the vast desert. In the west, including Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Cambodia, and Burma - Japan's military strength has spread to the limit it can spread, and even the mainland of China, which is constantly fighting, has been unable to reinforce a decent army.

Putting so many troops on such a scattered battlefield, and then making their own troops unable to clench their fists, the Japanese soldiers have lived in an island country for a long time, and once the idea of ​​longing for their own vastness is released, it is like a scourge Can't clean up. They expanded and invaded unscrupulously, but forgot that they were just a greedy snake, not a real Nine Heavens Dragon.

In another time and space, when the Japanese army launched an offensive against Imphal, they drew up an almost idiotic combat plan, which can prove to what extent the army officers at that time had been dazzled by the victory. The whole army actually embarked on an expedition with insufficient logistical supplies, shouting to take down Imphal, and sat on Churchill's slogan, feeling that victory was at hand.

No one can imagine that in March 1944 in another time and space, when the Germans were doomed to lose the Soviet-German War, and the Japanese navy had been drawn by the Americans regardless of the north, south, east, and west, a nickname was Little Tojo. The famous Japanese general Ren Mutaguchi also said such a sentence: "The army has reached the point where it is invincible!"

In the eyes of the Japanese army officers, if the idiots in the navy can't handle things, the army will do everything possible to succeed. Since the navy can't win the battle if it loses the island, then the army must win a victory to let the navy generals Let's see who is the most powerful army in the Empire of Japan.

So it is not surprising that the Army will apply for supplies when Yamamoto Fifty-Six is ​​facing Nimitz's desperation, and prepares to launch a "Battle of New Imphal". No one knows exactly what they were thinking, but the date they chose was similar to another time and space—it was March when the rainy season in Myanmar was about to come.

Of course, although it seems that the Japanese high-level executives have behaved similarly to Guo Degang and Yu Qian standing on the stage in the expansion plan and actual actions, but their soldiers who are not afraid of death and have high beliefs have come to the present despite this unfavorable factor . And these parties don't think there is anything wrong with their almost funny strategic plan. They are all solving the problem in a serious way, at least they think so.

Yamamoto scoffed at this plan to attack India, and he didn't even want to ask about the implementation of the whole plan. Now he is anxiously waiting for his reinforcements in the Marshall Islands, that is, a batch of new warships built in a hurry, as well as being entrusted The super battleship Yamato is a secret weapon.

The battleship Yamato was built several years ahead of schedule by Japan, because Germany launched the war ahead of schedule, and Japan also accelerated the manufacturing speed of Yamato. In the end, the construction completion date of this battleship was advanced to April of 1939, which can be regarded as making the Japanese Navy the number one naval power second to none in the world in terms of the strength of a single battleship.

Once this battleship is in service, the battleship strength of the Japanese Navy will become the world's number one, and no country can rely on artillery to defeat Japan. This dream is about to become a reality. Yamamoto Fifty-Six plans to use this battleship as the core to launch a decisive battle against the United States, use the Yamato to assault the US fleet in a carefully selected sea area, and sink those unpleasant US aircraft carriers.

"Your Excellency, Marshal! The telegram message was sent last night. Because the Yamato battleship is about to enter service, some escort ships have been sent in advance to adapt to command and coordination matters." An officer knocked on the door and walked into Yamamoto's lounge , his face is full of exhaustion, after all, the days of the Japanese navy have not been easy recently.

Frequent small-scale contact caused the Japanese navy to lose a lot of troops. The two sides often had destroyer-level artillery contact. Although the Japanese navy had an excellent record of 12 to 18, it sank 18 American ships at the cost of sinking 12 destroyers. Destroyer, but no one in the top ranks of the Japanese United Fleet can laugh.

The United States has launched almost 20 destroyers in the past few months, and it can be said that they are fighting more and more, while Japan has only launched a pitiful 4 destroyers in the same period of time. The huge industrial production capacity of the United States took the lead in acting on the navy and air force, so the Japanese felt the pressure brought by that powerful industry earlier than Germany.

"Oh?" Finally, when reinforcements arrived, Yamamoto Fifty-Six reluctantly cheered up. No matter how brilliant the victory was, it could not cover up the fact that the United Fleet sank and lost ground. So rather than how many enemy ships are wiped out, what can improve morale is how many new warships come.

So Yamamoto stood up and signaled his assistant to bring him the clothes: "Go! Go to the pier! I want to personally welcome these Imperial Navy soldiers who have come from afar! They will become the new strength of the United Fleet!"

"Then I'll make a phone call to the port, and tell the newly arrived captains of destroyers and supply ships not to leave their posts until you come to meet them, Marshal." The assistant picked up the phone very familiarly, and began to arrange this The second marshal's temporary itinerary came.

In the Marshall Islands, where the Japanese fleet was temporarily stationed, on a simple pier, the passionate melody of the military band sounded after a long absence. The Admiral of the Japanese Navy personally came to meet all the captains of the destroyer escort fleet who came from the mainland for reinforcements.

Among these destroyers are the latest new ships launched by Japan, which can be said to be the most cutting-edge destroyers of the Japanese Navy. Yamamoto Fifty-Six happily shook hands with every captain, and encouraged them to fight bravely in the joint fleet with earnest words.

"When I saw you young people, I thought of myself." He walked to the side of the last destroyer captain, saluted each other and then patted each other on the shoulder and said, "You are the future of the Imperial Navy and the hope of the Imperial Navy! Fight bravely, and fulfill your duty as a naval soldier for the Empire of Japan!"

The impassioned words he said made the young destroyer commanders' blood boil. Most of these people have never experienced real naval battles, and they still firmly believe in the saying that the Japanese navy is invincible. So in their view, the time has come to make contributions and realize their naval dreams.

The young officer who was patted on the shoulder by Yamamoto Fifty-Six stood at attention excitedly, and responded to the encouragement of Marshal Yamamoto Fifty-Six with the loudest voice: "I will lead the entire ship to fight for the country to the death! Destroyer Yukikaze Captain Toda Kenjiro salutes you, Marshal!"
