The third part is the main force group, which is commanded by Vice Admiral Nagumo Tadaichi, which includes the aircraft carriers Shozuru and Zuizuru, the battle cruisers Hiei and Kirishima, the heavy cruisers Chikuma, Suzuya, and Kumano, the light cruiser Nagara, and the destroyers Nobun, Maifu, Akiun, Yugumo, Cirrus, Fengyun, Hatsukaze, Uraba, Shikinami, Ayana, and Akikaze. Yamamoto Fifty-six's words fell, making everyone frown, this is a decisive battle with the U.S. Navy!

"Yamamoto-kun, is this going to be a decisive battle?"

Yamamoto Fifty-six nodded, "It must be so, the US troops who attacked Kuah Island are not a small force, if we don't drive them away......"

"Then follow Yamamoto-kun's plan."

"Hmm. The fourth part is the anti-shore firing group, which bombards the US airfield and positions on Kuah Island with the naval guns of four cruisers, and provides fire preparation and support for the operation of the reinforcement group. ”

"The fifth part is the reinforcement group, commanded by Rear Admiral Yorizo Tanaka to transport 1,500 ground troops with 1 auxiliary cruiser and 4 fast transport ships converted from old destroyers, escorted by the second mine combat group: the flagship Shentong light cruiser, with 7 destroyers of Cool Breeze, River Breeze, Sea Breeze, Muzuki, Yayoi, Ugetsuki, and Mochizuki, responsible for sending ground troops to Kuah Island to fight with the US forces on Kuah Island. Then order all submarines to closely monitor the movements of the US military! ”

"Do you get it?"

"Hey!"

"Yo Xi, then go for it!"

For Yamamoto Fifty-six, this time is indeed a big battle! Mobilized almost all the naval forces of the South Pacific! It was also his most ambitious one. If they can inflict heavy damage on the US military, then they will be able to win half of this war, and the next road will be much easier.

Yamamoto Fifty-six knew very well how tired they were from the road they were walking now, one to two, one to three, and it was not so easy to fight. What's more, China is not as weak as they think, and the United States is even stronger. Although the more powerful enemy is the United Kingdom, they are not facing Britain head-on after all, but they are only facing the British colony for a while, and the troops and materials consumed are not too much.

Therefore, if you can get rid of the enemy at once and make their path smoother, Yamamoto Fifty-six will do it, and this attack is indeed almost successful.

……

"General Fletcher, why are you so sure?" In one conference room, several American generals frowned, looking at the map hanging in the center. In the first battle of Kuah Island, although they took Kuah Island and did not lose much, in fact, they did not meet real Japanese soldiers, and the Japanese army must have tried every means to get it back.

"The Japanese will definitely want to take Kuah back, I think, no one doubts that, right?" Lieutenant General Jack Fletcher smiled and looked at the crowd.

"Not bad."

"The most important thing is that if we can't control the sea and air supremacy of Kuah, we won't be able to supply and reinforce the troops on the island, and then Kuah will also be gained and lost, plus the navy in the South Pacific will suffer heavy losses in the Battle of Savo Island...... Therefore, we should pay more attention to the coastal reconnaissance posts set up on the islands of the Solomon Islands and the intelligence of aerial reconnaissance, you know, in the previous battles, intelligence has helped us a lot! ”

"That's true." The crowd pondered, and then there was a humanitarian question, "I agree with General Fletcher." ”

"I agree."

"Agreed."

……

"Report! It was discovered that the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet had moved south from Truk, and it was speculated that a major action would most likely be taken! An American soldier spoke to several generals.

"Sure enough, then you can only meet the enemy!" Fletcher narrowed his eyes, "Order, I will command the 61st Task Force, Major General Kincaid will command the ** Team, and Major General Noyce will command the 18th Task Force, ready to meet the enemy!" ”

"Yes!"

Thus, the Battle of the Eastern Solomon, which had been delayed for several days, finally began.

When Fletcher's fleet reached the waters east of Kuah Island, it was discovered by a Japanese submarine!

"Report! According to intelligence, the American fleet has reached the sea east of Kuah Island! ”

"Yo Xi, is it finally here?"

"Hey!"

"Order the troops to prepare for the attack! The sailing sequence has been changed to the battle sequence, and the southbound speed has been accelerated! ”

"Hey!"

……

"Report to the general, our reconnaissance plane has spotted Japanese reinforcements!"

"Very well, let the bombers and torpedo planes go to the attack!"

"Yes!"

In a few moments, on an aircraft carrier, dozens of bombers and torpedo planes took off.

About two hours later, dozens of bombers took off from Kuah Island.

……

"Order, the fleet turned around and avoided to the west, and now we can't be detected by the Americans!"

"Hey!"

As a result, the U.S. military and Japan continued to reconnoiter and evade each other, and it was not until the next day that they began to really attack each other, fighting, and it was imminent.

……

When the U.S. Army and the Japanese Army began to fight, Zhou Weiguo was thinking about how to press it in the northeast direction, and the Kwantung Army did transfer troops south, so that the defense in some places must be weak, but in the face of independent divisions, the Kwantung Army is heavily guarded, and if you really want to take it, it is really not easy to take it, so Zhou Weiguo, who looked at the map, frowned.

"Brother, how's the intelligence in the northeast? Any useful news no? ”

Liu Yuan shook his head, "It's Xiaohui's side, Nanzao Yunzi deciphered another telegram, it seems that the Japanese army is going to fight the Americans in the South Pacific." ”

Zhou Weiguo nodded, "It's certain to do it!" It's up to you! However, it is estimated that the Japanese army will still suffer a loss! ”

"Suffer?" Liu Yuan was puzzled, "In that place, it should be that the Japanese are still a little more powerful, right?" ”

"Fighting, look at the brain." Zhou Weiguo smiled, then stopped talking, continued to stare at the map, and began to make some marks on the map, such as where the known devil troops were deployed, and if they wanted to fight, how to fight.

"Okay." Seeing that Zhou Weiguo didn't want to speak, Liu Yuan smiled and continued to do his job.

……

Over a certain area of the South Pacific, dozens or even hundreds of planes chased and collided with each other.

On both sides of the wing, tongues of fire are constantly spewed out.

There are also fighters falling and falling into the sea.

"Tell me, where are the aircraft carriers of the Americans! I want to know the location of the American aircraft carriers! ”

"Hey! Your Excellency, Commander, the exact location has not been searched yet, but judging by the current battle position, it should not be far away! ”

"Yalu!"

"Report! Spot enemy aircraft carriers! ”

"Nani, where?"

"Hey! We are now about 60 nautical miles to the southwest! ”

"Yo Si! Order the advance troops to rush over first! I'll take the main group to support immediately! ”

"Hey!"
