Chapter 1514 The Decisive Battle of Fate
Countless Japanese soldiers took advantage of the darkness and entered the desert.
Some of them got lost in the desert and eventually died on this land, and more entered the United States.
After entering the United States, these Japanese soldiers showed their true nature as jackals. They robbed the residents in the border area wildly, killing people and grabbing money, then snatched the other party's vehicles and continued to move inland.
The American army never expected that the Japanese would be so crazy and send so many people to their own land in this way.
Don't they think about the future?
In order to deal with the Japanese entering the country, the United States immediately organized a car patrol, with the National Guard and Mounted Police as the core, to conduct inspections along the highway. If any were found, they would notify the military and send planes to deal with them.
Because the road conditions were unfamiliar and many Japanese did not know how to drive a car, most of them were overtaken and killed before they had barely left the border states.
Only a small number of people entered the hinterland of the United States.
However, their unique faces mean they cannot hide their identities.
The vast territory of the United States and its sparse population do not provide the conditions for guerrilla warfare.
On the vast plains, they could not avoid the aircraft's dragnet search.
All that awaits them is death.
The difference is just earlier or later.
Because of Zhang Tuohai's crazy behavior, Americans felt a crisis.
They realized that if they didn't speed up, Zhang Tuohai might come up with something else.
Although those Japanese did not survive in the end, the damage caused to the country was inestimable.
Most importantly, allowing enemy troops to enter the mainland made many people dissatisfied, and they even cast a vote of no confidence in the government.
If they are not given an explanation, they may be forced to resign.
"Gentlemen, now we need to give the voters an explanation, even if it is a justifiable explanation, otherwise, we will all have to resign and step down."
President Ross pushed up his glasses and said helplessly.
"I have asked the shipyard to work overtime. The first batch of warships can already be launched. In addition, a large number of merchant ships have been refitted. Although they can only carry a dozen aircraft, they can be used as escort aircraft carriers."
said the Secretary of the Navy.
"Great, immediately form these ships into a task force to harass the Japanese navy near Hawaii without giving them a chance to breathe. In addition, find an aircraft carrier and launch an air attack on Japan without causing any damage. , I just need them to get there.”
Ross said.
"The Hornet can perform this mission. Mr. President."
The Navy Minister thought for a moment and said.
"Hurry up then, voters won't give us much time."
"yes."
The order was given.
The aircraft carrier Hornet quietly left the port and flew towards Tokyo.
A dozen planes flew over Tokyo. Fearing anti-aircraft guns, they just dropped their bombs casually and left in a hurry.
Although these planes did not cause any actual losses to Tokyo, they gave Zhang Tuohai an excuse to use the topic as an excuse.
Zhang Tuohai held an imperial meeting and scolded the ministers bloody.
"It's all you idiots who allow the Americans to bomb Tokyo with planes now. What do you think we should do? If we can't come up with a solution, just go to Iwo Jima."
Zhang Tuohai slapped the table and shouted.
"Your Majesty, the reason why the U.S. military was able to dispatch aircraft was entirely because the combined fleet did not destroy the U.S. aircraft carrier, so Tokyo was attacked. The combined fleet should be sent to find the U.S. aircraft carrier and annihilate it completely, so that Tokyo can ensure safety."
The Minister of War immediately dismissed the blame.
Seeing that the Minister of War directly put the responsibility on himself, the Minister of Navy was very unhappy and said immediately.
"Your Majesty, please don't listen to the slander. The reason why the United States can take off planes is because the army did not destroy the airports in the United States. I believe that the top priority should be to send more troops to the United States to completely destroy the airports in the United States."
The Lord Admiralty was not stupid and just threw the blame back.
"You are talking nonsense. The United States is more than a thousand miles away from our country. What kind of aircraft can fly so far?" the Minister of War said quickly.
"You are not an American. How do you know that Americans don't have planes that can fly thousands of miles? You are shirking your responsibility." The Navy Minister was not to be outdone.
The two men quarreled.
"Stop arguing."
Zhang Tuohai slapped the table and made a decision.
"Since none of you can provide evidence, then use a two-pronged approach. The Army will send one million people to the Americas. This time, all airports in the United States must be destroyed. In addition, the entire combined fleet will be dispatched to find the remaining fleet of the United States and fight decisively with it. Its destruction must not allow Tokyo to be attacked again, otherwise, you two will commit suicide and apologize.”
"Hi--"
The Lord Admiralty and the Minister of War both bowed.
They knew that they had no way out, either to complete the mission or to commit suicide and apologize.
At their urging, the Army mobilized one million people from various places and sent them to America again.
All the ships of the Combined Fleet set sail and cruised in the Pacific, looking for the remaining aircraft carriers of the American army, trying to destroy the opponent.
However, because the Japanese army's radar is relatively old, it basically relies on lookouts to find targets. This method of human visual reconnaissance is highly efficient.
The US warships are equipped with radars and reconnaissance aircraft.
Although it is not advanced, it is much better.
At this time, the newly formed task force of the US Army passed the Panama Canal and rushed over from the east coast.
There are more than thirty escort aircraft carriers alone.
Although they are only escort aircraft carriers that can carry a dozen aircraft, their huge number is still very impressive.
There are three to four hundred aircraft gathered together, enough to compete with a heavy aircraft carrier fleet.
Captain Hornet was very happy to see so many escort carriers arriving.
Immediately told them the location of the Japanese.
As a result, dozens of escort aircraft carriers and auxiliary ships launched a mighty sneak attack on the combined fleet.
Nearly four hundred planes took off at the same time and rushed towards the combined fleet.
The Combined Fleet usually has aircraft patrolling the surrounding area. When they saw the overwhelming large group of aircraft flying in, they immediately reported the situation via radio.
The combined fleet sounded the air defense siren, Zero planes took off one after another, and the crew members also ran to their positions.
Zero aircraft attempted to intercept.
But there were too many of them, and many planes didn't even have time to take off, and were destroyed on the deck by the swooping fighter jets.
Torpedo planes swooped down one after another, and the dense torpedoes drew white waves, rushing towards the combined fleet from all directions in the west.
Like a swarm of white sharks hunting.
