917, take chestnuts from the fire

The reason why Bai Shujie decided to make a move against the Philippines on New Year's Day in 1942 is really thanks to the little devil who urgently developed the "one-type turboprop attack aircraft".

Roosevelt used Pearl Harbor, where "semi-scrap" battleships and vintage planes were stored, to create the illusion of an all-out attack on the United States. Then the "reasonable" declaration of war on Japan, the United States switched to a wartime mechanism, and the election was postponed indefinitely.

However, Roosevelt never imagined that after containing the Japanese Zero fighters, 120 "Type 1 attack planes" would defeat his Mustang fighters.

Towards the end of the Philippine Campaign, Isoroku Yamamoto launched the Battle of Midway, and because of historical deviations, the situation in which the little devils unilaterally suffered a big loss has improved, and it has become a "common end" of the United States and Japan.

On the U.S. side, four aircraft carriers, seven cruisers, and 16 destroyers, including the USS York, were sunk by imps, 297 fighter planes were lost, and more than 17,000 U.S. officers and men were sunk in the North Pacific.

After this major battle, the Americans' Pacific Fleet can be regarded as completely collapsed, and it is really broken.

Of course, the little devils were not easy, 3 aircraft carriers "Akagi", "Soryu", and "Flying Dragon" were sunk, the heavy cruiser "Mikuma" was sunk, 332 planes were blown up, and 3,500 people were fed sharks.

However, of the 120 turbo fighters of the little devils, only 37 were lost. Later, it completely relied on this piece of fighter to defeat the world, which caught the American devils off guard.

Overall, the little devils have a slight upper hand in this battle.

Commander of the Pacific Combined Fleet, Yamamoto Isoroku, is majestic at this moment, and the little devils don't take the Americans seriously at all.

It was in this atmosphere of blind optimism that the Southern Army, after sweeping Southeast Asia, relaxed its vigilance against the Allied counteroffensive, believing that the next thing could be dealt with mainly by the Japanese naval forces.

The base camp of the little devils was finally determined, the Southern Army temporarily took a defensive position, and the next step was to defeat the old power of Britain, and the Japanese Empire would be invincible in the whole of Asia.

To this end, in addition to equipping the Nanyang Islands with troops to ensure security and external defense operations, the remaining troops were diverted to Chinese mainland, Thailand, and Burma. At the same time, the troops stationed in the Nanyang Islands are combined with the reorganization and demobilization of domestic troops to ensure strategic mobility.

The main forces to be transferred were: Konoe, 2nd, and 5th Divisions returned to Japan; The 33rd and 38th Divisions and the 3rd Flying Group were sent to Guannai, China; The 48th Division returned to Taiwan; The 66th Division and other units went to Manchuria, China; The 55th Division went to fight in Thailand, Burma and the British devils.

In the Philippines, there is only one 65th Brigade Regiment of more than 8,200 people in the northern part of Luzon, and the 16th Division is on hundreds of islands in the southern Philippines to prevent a sneak attack by MacArthur hiding in Australia.

So, Bai Shujie thinks this is a great opportunity:

In the northern part of Luzon Island, Shi Liancheng's 1st Division, Liu Zhiliang's 3rd Division, 1st Fleet, 2nd Fleet, and 1st Bomber Brigade were used, totaling more than 50,000 people, and more than 7,200 people of the 65th Brigade of Little Devils were annihilated.

Around Mindanao, the International Jewish Regiment of Zhang Xiang and Hou Zide killed more than 7,800 men of the 19th Infantry Brigade of the 16th Division (Lieutenant General Nakajima Imasago).

The commander of the 19th Brigade is Major General Tatsuji Kusaba and has the 9th Infantry Wing (Katagiri Goro Osa) and the 20th Infantry Wing (Nobuaki Ohno).

Because the little devils beat up the American devils at Pearl Harbor, the South Sea Islands, and Midway, and swept the vast areas of the North Pacific and South China Seas.

Anyone at this time will be a little proud, even arrogant, and forget what their surname is.

Bai Shujie believes that the little devil would never have thought that as soon as the gunfire around him stopped, and as soon as the prisoners were locked in the shed, someone would pluck the feathers from the tiger's mouth and beat the "invincible victorious army in the world".

In addition, there is also one of the most critical problems: according to the trend of history, in order to make up for his shame, MacArthur began the "island jumping tactic" to frog jump in only five months, and launched a counterattack against the 16th Division of the little devils.

In other words, Bai Shujie must seize the fleeting only gap and make a fire in the moment before MacArthur completes the deployment of the counterattack campaign.

This is not an ordinary peach picking, but a direct force robbery, so that MacArthur must face to face with himself next.

There is no doubt that Bai Shujie has occupied the apex of morality, and once MacArthur wants to make a move, he will belong to the unjust side.

If you wait until the American devils launch an operation, especially after taking Mindanao, that will be in vain, and Bai Shujie's painstaking efforts for more than ten years will be in vain.

Unless Bai Shujie immediately declares war with the American devils, this will definitely not work. Therefore, it is necessary to see the stitches and make both the little devil and MacArthur suffer a loss.

Bai Shujie knows a lot about the character of the little devil and MacArthur's character, so his level of playing stuffy sticks is naturally not low.

The first and foremost thing is to stand on the moral high ground and show his image of a "glorious, great, and just" savior to peace-loving people all over the world, so that MacArthur will not be able to let out a fart.

The second thing is that we must make a solemn statement of "upholding justice", get a high hat for ourselves to wear, and make ourselves famous.

Only then can a "righteous army" be formed: you MacArthur is a big stupid pig, and the defeated generals will not be brave!

Don't you see that I, Bai Shujie, just crossed the ocean and came to save the people from fire and water? There are many saviors in the world, and you are not just MacArthur. Stay there where it's cool, you can go whatever you want, and I, Bai Shujie, am responsible for maintaining peace here.

Of course, Geng Fengbiao did not hear Bai Shujie's "solemn statement".

Because according to Bai Shujie's order, at 5 p.m. on December 31, 1941, he ordered 10 "ghost" submarines to pull anchor and set sail, leaving Scarborough Shoal Island and heading straight for Dasol Bay in the north-east direction.

In order to ensure the secrecy of the operation, all 10 submarines remained in radio silence. With a range of 250 km, 10 Phantom submarines flew at a maximum speed of 29 knots on the surface. Even then, it takes five hours to get close to the destination.

The sea at night is the world of submarine forces. They have been secretly roaming this area of water for two years, and have experienced many thrilling reef raids, so they know the sea conditions in this area well.

Bai Shujie ordered them to land on the barren beach, just because he didn't want to arouse the early vigilance of the little devils. This belongs to the different guiding ideologies for the use of submarines, so the tactical actions taken are also different.

Because submarines were never allowed to launch surprise attacks on the enemy's military ports, Bai Shujie dismantled all the deck guns. The enemy's military ports were heavily defended, either with countless mines or with anti-submarine nets that could not be broken through.

Attacking the enemy's military port with the pitiful few mines carried by the submarine was basically a suicide attack, and there was no possibility of escape at all. And the attack effect is definitely no better than that of bombers, and even less than that of a land infiltration squad.

Submarines are used in the depths of the sea, not cruising on the shore.

The reason why the navy of the little devils failed, in fact, they did not understand at all what the weapons of the navy were for.

Bai Shujie has always felt that the standard name of the Little Devil Navy during World War II should be "Army Maritime Force".

In other words, the naval tactics of the little devils are completely to bring the combat mode of the army to the sea. It's just a matter of equipping the army with a few warships, covering a few transport ships, and then being able to cross the ocean.

It is precisely because of this that the little devil will have the whimsical idea to create an "attack submarine mothership" -- a small suicide attack submarine that can carry a small suicide attack submarine to the vicinity of the enemy's military port and release it, and carry out a ramming attack on the enemy by a single person -- that is, the battlefield hand-to-hand combat of the army.

The "aircraft carrier submarine", that is, the notorious supersubmarine of the "I-400 type", carries 3 bombers. With a range of more than 33,000 nautical miles (capable of circumnavigating the globe one and a half times), the I-14 supersubmarine runs to the enemy's coast and then unleashes the bombers -- or suicide attacks.

Because of the 3 water bombers that were released, it was impossible to take them back. Although it is theoretically possible to take it back, but if you run to the enemy's house, will someone else let you use an hour to salvage the plane?

The most smelly design of the imp is the "I-400" super submarine. 3 water bombers with a total take-off weight of 3.5 tons and carrying 1.5 tons of bombs.

With this kind of payload capability, even an atomic bomb is of little use. Because of the weight of 1.5 tons, if you put it on the atomic bomb, the warhead is only 150 kilograms at most, that is, 0.15 tons.

You know, the big firecrackers thrown by the American devils on Hiroshima, that is, the "Grand Slam" atomic bomb, weighed 15 tons. Nagasaki's "Fat Boy", weighing 10 tons.

The childish tactical thinking of the little devil completely belongs to the idea of "terrorists" -- even if I can't kill people, I will scare and scare you, and show my savings!

Nima, is it possible for the two countries to be at war to scare others?

Except that Chiang Kai-shek would be frightened, it is impossible to find another person in the world who was frightened. What's more, the little devils are ready to scare the American devils, which is really a fool's dream.

As a result, the biggest gain of the little devil's attack on the mainland of the United States was to cause a forest fire, which burned more than 300 acres of forest, and that's it. This is the biggest joke of World War II.

Gossip has been expressed, and the book is back to business.

At 10 p.m. on December 31, 1941, after five hours of rapid sailing, 10 ghost submarines appeared 10 kilometers west of Santa Cruz.

Geng Fengbiao gave an order, and the 10 submarines dived in unison, and only put the periscope on the surface of the water to observe the situation. Nothing else, for this place has been reconnoitred, and not far ahead is a small island, the gateway to the sea west of Santa Cruz, Mana Island.

Mana Island is very small, and it is not marked on the general map, but there happens to be an observation post here, and a total of 3 little devils are stationed. Kill these three guys to be able to enter the Bay of Dasol.

One ghost submarine took the lead, slowly moving almost 1 kilometer to the southwest corner of Mana Island, exposing the submarine's conning tower, and six marines came out of it, and then quietly approached it using kayaks.

After two hours of hard waiting, Geng Fengbiao finally breathed a sigh of relief when he finally saw the shaking flashlight. Leaving this submarine to recover 6 fighters, the other 9 submarines rounded Mana Island and headed straight for Dasol Bay.

There are groups of reefs here, and submarines simply cannot get through Guò quickly. The distance in a straight line was less than 3 kilometers, and it took two and a half hours to surface close to the shore and finally enter the landing zone.

Despite the fact that the north is now icy and snowy, Luzon has a tropical climate and there is no obstacle to swimming in the sea. Now that there are still 500 meters away from the coastline, Geng Fengbiao cleaned himself up, and then roared:

"Swim across the river in arms! After all the marines disembarked, the ghost fleet immediately returned to the front line of Scarborough Shoal to hide and block the waters in the direction of the South China Sea. Ship ships that are spotted by the enemy, especially those that have come in for reinforcements, are sunk! ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
