Chapter 958 Razed to the Ground (Plus 1)

As a consultant from Germany, Rudel has a very high status. For example, Rudel will participate in various meetings held by Pheasant Fifty-six. It can be said that Rudel participated in the whole process of this adventurous combat operation.

First of all, this is because Germany's victory stimulates the nerves of every high-level island nation. The island nation is good at learning and respects German consultants. Second, it is because Germany has provided a lot of support to the island nation.

Although these things are expensive, and the price is not low, but after all, it is an aspect that allows the island country to quickly have a stronger combat capability, and it is not a complete currency transaction, many of which are barter, such as The island nation trades for resources such as rubber.

Now, with the continuous advancement of time, this adventure plan of the island country has become more and more detailed.

And this time, when Rudel and Rear Admiral Omori Sentaro entered the conference room, each received a secret document with a number. This is the entire plan for the attack on Pearl Harbor made by the island nation's navy!

Rudel's book was specially translated into German for him. Sitting on a chair, Rudel picked up the plan and read it carefully.

No one spoke, although many people participated, after all, this was the first complete plan, and everyone knew nothing about it.

They were all flipping through excitedly, and from time to time there was the sound of paper rattling in the room, page after page.

Two hours passed, and most of the people had finished reading and looked up at Pheasant Fifty-Six.

"This operation will be launched in half a month." Pheasant Fifty-Six said: "Nagumo Chuichi is the commander. Advisor Rudel will take the flagship of the Akagi along with General Nagumo and participate in the command and operation together. This time, we used a total of six aircraft carriers and five aircraft carriers converted from oil tankers, with a total of 564 carrier-based aircraft, including 300 Stuka bombers."

This is the largest troop build-up in the history of the island nation's navy! The aircraft carriers participating in the attack were Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, Hiryu, Shokaku, and Zuikaku. These six aircraft carriers carry a total of 414 carrier-based aircraft, plus five aircraft carriers converted from oil tankers, they have mobilized almost all that can be mobilized.

"The fate of the empire, in this battle, if we win this battle, we can win at least a year and a half. During this time, we will completely occupy Southeast Asia, thereby expanding the strength of our empire." Pheasant fifty-six continued. .

Pheasant Fifty-six is ​​very clear in his heart that the United States' military production capacity is too powerful. Although its own use of surprise attacks can severely damage the United States' Pacific Fleet, it cannot completely cut off the tentacles of the Americans reaching out to the Pacific Ocean. After all, the United States can In a year or two, continue to produce a large number of warships!

The island nation has only this chance.

"Okay, now, do you have any questions?" Pheasant fifty-six asked.

His eyes looked at everyone, and they all had firm expressions. The plan was so detailed that there was nothing more to say.

When he finally looked at Rudel, Rudel said, "I think there are two rather serious flaws in this plan."

Everyone pricked up their ears and listened to Rudel's analysis.

"First, our maritime reconnaissance planes are deployed too little. You must know that the American warships will not stay in the military port and wait for us all the time. They may cruise and go back and forth. If we bomb, the main force of the United States Warships, such as their aircraft carriers, are not in the naval port, and our attack effect will be greatly reduced."

A maritime reconnaissance plane does not necessarily have to take off and land from an aircraft carrier. It can be a seaplane that floats directly in the sea, taking off and landing on water.

The first flaw is that the reconnaissance is not in place. In the plan, it was planned to launch a sneak attack on Sunday. It was believed that it was a day of rest, and the U.S. Navy must be resting. However, the hope of the battle was pinned on this speculation, is absolutely not enough.

Pheasant fifty-six nodded: "Yes, this is a flaw, but we have no choice, if we send out too many maritime reconnaissance aircraft, it will attract the attention of the Americans, if they raise their vigilance and spot our formation , then our sneak attack plan may fail."

Pheasant Fifty-six's consideration is justified. Rudel paused and continued: "Then it can be deployed like this. In Hawaii, secret agents are deployed to conduct reconnaissance. At the same time, a small number of reconnaissance planes are deployed on the route and pretend to be passenger planes. , and finally, fishing boats can be dispatched to conduct reconnaissance on nearby routes."

Rudel's words won the nod of everyone present, yes, this is indeed a good idea, three-pronged approach!

"Okay, let's revise our plan as the consultant said." Pheasant Fifty-Six said: "What about the second item?"

"It's not enough to plan just one attack!" Rudel said, "Since this is an adventurous attack, why not bomb it back and forth repeatedly, completely blowing up the whole of Hawaii to rubble?"

Historically, when the island nation carried out its battle plan, there were three rounds of attacks. Unfortunately, Nagumo Chuichi was a conservative person and thought that two bombings were enough, and the third one was not carried out.

Now, thanks to the German Stuka bomber, the bomb load is larger, and the original task that required two or three bombings to be completed, the Stuka single-handedly, one can do it.

Therefore, in the plan of the island country, only one attack can complete the task.

Now, Rudel has made a serious criticism of this: "After the plane returns to the aircraft carrier, the well-trained crew and ground staff can complete the take-off preparation, refuel and hang bombs, and then bomb again within fifteen minutes! According to the pilots Considering the degree of fatigue, most pilots can fly twice, and a few elite pilots can fly three times with no problem!”

"Our goal is not just to blow up a few U.S. warships and blow up various facilities in the port, but to blow up the entire Hawaii!" Rudel said: "To make Hawaii completely lose its role as a military port, and put the above The U.S. sailors of the PLA are completely wiped out! Now kill one U.S. sailor, and the American warship will be one less qualified sailor. You can’t just carry out a sneak attack in order to protect the warship!”

Rudel's voice grew louder and louder, and the faces of the islanders present were slightly discolored.

The island country is lacking in resources, and the navy and army are vying for resources. Every warship is precious. In this case, although the island country planned to carry out a bold attack on Pearl Harbor, it was afraid that its own ships would suffer losses. If you plan to attack, you quickly withdraw from the battle.

Now that Rudel pointed it out mercilessly, the people present were of course embarrassed.

"If Pearl Harbor was not razed to the ground, then the sneak attack was a failure," Rudel said. "It would be naive to think that the US Navy's warships were only blown up and sank, even if the mission was accomplished?"
