Zhang Chi guessed correctly, after hearing that the Americans mixed the iron barrel containing the time bomb into the iron barrel of the Japanese destroyer, and then caused the explosion of the warehouse on Kuah Island, he couldn't help but sit on the chair with a dead face.

At this time, Hyakutake Haruyoshi no longer dared to imagine the scene of the Sino-US coalition surrendering under the white flag in front of the majestic fleet of the Imperial Japanese Army, but he should have worried about how the 30,000 Japanese troops on Kuah Island would survive!

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!" The staff officer reminded on the side: "I heard that some people have starved to death on Kuah Island......

Hyakutake Haruyoshi waved his hand weakly and motioned to the staff officer not to continue.

But Hyakutake Haruyoshi also knew that starvation was inevitable, because the U.S. Navy had not been able to transport much supplies to Kuah Island for such a long time, and the Japanese army on Kuah Island was 30,000 men...... They are lazy to survive by weeds, wild vegetables, and hunting some animals on the island, but by now, the weeds, wild vegetables, and animals have almost eaten up! The 2nd Division would report that some people were starving to death, and there were not a few who were afraid of starvation.

"We ...... There seems to be only one way! Hyakutake Haruyoshi said: "That is to fully cooperate with the troops on Kuah Island and regain control of the airport on Kuah Island!" ”

Thinking of Hyakku Haruyoshi, he stood up and said, "I'm going to ask General Yamamoto!" ”

In the headquarters of the Combined Fleet of the Navy, Yamamoto Fifty-six looked at Hyakutake Harumichi with an expressionless face, he was still feeling sorry for the heavy losses of the Japanese Navy not long ago, and sometimes he even thought that if it weren't for the overconfidence of Hyakutake in front of him, he rashly came up with the plan of the previous decisive battle, and later even failed to control Kuah Island, then the Japanese Navy would not have suffered such heavy losses and would not have suffered another defeat in his own battle history.

What Yamamoto didn't think about was that he was the supreme commander of that naval battle, and even the battle plan was set by him, and if he was responsible, the biggest person responsible was himself.

"Hundred Martial Monarchs!" After being silent for a while, Yamamoto Fifty-six took a shallow sip of the tea on the table. said: "What is the difference between this plan and the previous plan? I want to know how many possibilities there are for victory! ”

"Your Excellency, General!" Baiwu Qingji bowed slightly, and some cold sweat couldn't help but break out on his forehead, he regretted that he had come to "throw himself into the net", but now he can only hold on, because the 30,000 Japanese troops are still trapped on Kuah Island and have no hope of winning.

After settling down, Hyakutake Haruyoshi replied: "In the last failure, I think we ignored the importance of the Kuah airfield and bent on finding the American ghost beast's aircraft carrier and hoping to sink it. But Kuah Airport is the largest aircraft carrier, and it is also an unsinkable aircraft carrier. This has cost us dearly. Therefore, I think that in this attack, we should focus our attack on the Kuah Island Airport, as long as we can seize the Kuah Island Airport, we will be able to obtain air and sea supremacy in the waters of Kuah Island, and at the same time, the United States will not dare to fight our army in a decisive battle at night, so Kuah Island belongs to us both day and night! ”

Although Yamamoto Fifty-six was a little dissatisfied with Hyakutake Haruyoshi in his heart, he still had to admit that Hyakutake Haruyoshi was reasonable.

As it is now, the United States has Kuah Airport. However, because its air force and warships do not dare to fight at night, the current situation basically belongs to the United States during the day, but at night Japan can move freely in the waters off Kuah Island, just because it has to leave the air control range of its fighters during the day. So this "arbitrary" is very restricted.

But Yamamoto Fifty-six did not express an opinion, he instead said: "I heard that Hyaktake-kun's transportation to Kuah Island has failed again?!" ”

"I'm ashamed!" Hyakutake Haruyoshi bowed with an embarrassed expression and said, "We didn't expect the Americans to be so cunning......"

Yamamoto Fifty-six shook his hand and said, "Baiwu-kun." You still thought that the Americans did all this? ”

"What? That's ......"

"As an Imperial soldier!" Yamamoto continued: "It's not terrible to fail, it's terrible to lose without knowing why you don't know why you fail, and then you may fail again next time. Do you understand? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

"It's time for you to put your intelligence department in order!" Yamamoto said: "Most of these things, even battle plans, come from a Chinese. ”

"Chinese?!" Hyakutake Haruyoshi couldn't help but open his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.

"He is the commander of the new regiment of the Chinese Expeditionary Force!" Yamamoto Fifty-six nodded: "His name is - Zhang Chi!" ”

"Zhang Chi?!"

"That's not surprising!" Yamamoto Fifty-six said to himself while drinking tea: "Americans fight, just like their boxing sports, you give me a punch and I will give you a punch." Therefore, I always felt that the fighting style of the enemy on Kuah Island during this period was not like that of the Americans...... It turned out to be the Chinese, you have read "The Art of War", 'surprise and attack unprepared', this is what the Chinese are good at! I have reason to believe that Kuah Island and even the air force that caused us heavy losses are under the command of this Chinese. ”

A few more beads of sweat appeared on Hyakutake Harukishi's forehead...... He was in charge of the operation on Kuah Island, but he didn't know as much information as Yamamoto fifty-six.

"So!" Yamamoto continued: "I agree in principle with your plan, which is to focus on the target of the attack at the Kuah airport. But not because of your proposal, but because Kuah Island, under the command of that Chinese, is our henchman, understand? ”

"Understood!"

"The Chinese have a saying, 'Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not slack off'!" Yamamoto Fifty-six stared at Hyakutake Haruyoshi coldly, casually took out a bag of documents from the drawer and threw it in front of Hyakutake Haruyoshi, and said: "You know too little information, study these carefully, if you need anything, you can contact my intelligence department, and then make a detailed plan, understand?" ”

"Understood!"

At this time, Hyakutake Haruyoshi dared to say anything, picked up the document from the ground, bowed to Yamamoto Fifty-six, and hurriedly retreated.

In fact, it's not just Hyakutake Haruyoshi who is in a hurry, Yamamoto Isoroku is also in a hurry, but now the Japanese Navy has just sunk an aircraft carrier, and the two main aircraft carriers are under repair, and only one light aircraft carrier can be used to fight, and the US military still has two aircraft carriers at this time...... If it weren't for the sinking of the "Wasp" by a Japanese submarine a few days ago, the US military would have three aircraft carriers.

Therefore, Yamamoto 56 could only wait for the "Shozuru" to be repaired and the reinforcements from the Japanese mainland arrived.

As for the situation of the 2nd Division on Kuah Island, it is not something that he, an admiral, needs to worry about.
