So the Japanese navy immediately retaliated against the two fleets, and the artillery battle was unusually powerful. However, due to luck, the two sides were still thunderous and rainy at half past midnight, and no decent progress was made. At 34: 00, the balance of the goddess of victory seemed to be biased towards the Japanese army, Keno Kurita, who led the fleet. The King Kong finally hit an American battleship, and the fire became the best means to indicate the attack. So the Japanese fleet took the lead in fire and sank the American battleship that was shot first.
However, Kennan Kurita’s fleet was separated from the main flank position of the American fleet because of the pursuit of the American battleship and the nearby destroyer detachment of the American navy supporting the battleship, which also laid the groundwork for the subsequent decline and escape of the United States.
When Gu Hefeng attacked the fleet, he was biting the halsey fleet and violently attacking the battleship Yamato. This time, he did not miss the naval battle belonging to it because the joint fleet was dying. In the midnight battle, he also showed full power and sent the American cruiser directly to the bottom of the sea.
This night exhibition naval battle fully shows that the Japanese navy is fierce and fighting, and the Japanese navy does have a superior training level. If it were not for the number of naval sailors and the speed of replenishment, Americans would have to pay a heavier price in the Pacific battlefield.
However, as the fleets of the two sides gradually approached the destroyers of the US Navy, they stepped forward and sacrificed themselves in exchange for the opportunity for the fleet to escape. They rushed to the Japanese naval fleet and fired torpedoes to force the Japanese navy to pay attention to these small ships as mad dogs.
"Compared with the torpedo bayonet, the Japanese are American ancestors!" I don’t know who said this in confusion, so Keno Kurita made a decision about the slight deviation of the fleet’s course. The second wrong decision was that they estimated the sailing speed of the American fleet and then fired all spear torpedoes at an oblique angle.
It’s a pity that they predicted the speed of the American fleet wrong, or that Keno Kurita greatly underestimated the determination of the American fleet to flee for life. General halsey’s fleet was behind, and spruance led the aircraft carrier fleet, regardless of the formation, and even the three escort aircraft carriers were abandoned.
So these Japanese fired spear torpedoes and hit the scattered ships behind the American fleet, including three escort carriers and 11 warships, but the remaining off-target torpedoes rushed to the main force of the American fleet, GuHefeng, because of the angle problem.
As a result, dozens of Japanese spear torpedoes rushed into the Japanese naval fleet. One of them blocked the Japanese naval fleet from continuing to pursue the American naval road. After being hit, the battleship Long Gate on the periphery of the first fleet was pale and forgot to reach the order. It was not until another cruiser was sunk that the Japanese fleet panicked and avoided these deadly threats.
So when the time came, the American fleet easily broke away from the contact with the Japanese fleet, and the Japanese navy Keno Kurita’s assault fleet was rejoicing at its amazing results. The Gu Hefeng’s interception fleet was doing various snake-like maneuvers to chase the enemy in front because it was ambushed by the US navy submarine.
The day before dawn, the navy had to leave the battlefield and retreat to Singapore. Keno Kurita reported his feat of hitting the American fleet with great ambition, while the commander of the battleship Yamato, Gu Hefeng, died by caesarean section and escaped his defeat guilt. Unfortunately, he committed suicide too early and closed his eyes before the camp found out the truth about the torpedo attack.
No wonder he cut his belly and killed himself. Who would have thought that one of his own torpedoes crossed the enemy fleet and attacked one of his own? That is to say, because the range of spear torpedo is amazing, even if it is launched in another country, it may not have such a long range
When the Japanese fleet returned to New Guinea, Gu Hefeng’s first fleet was shot at the long gate and then hit by a spear torpedo. The battleship Lu Ao was sunk by the American warship because of serious injuries. The news returned to the camp, and the Japanese navy completely collapsed. Two battleships were injured by the United States in the night battle and eventually lost most of the fleet. This is simply unbearable failure for the Japanese navy.
Keno Kurita achieved remarkable results in sinking most American warships in the whole naval battle, but then he fell into a passive position in the investigation of torpedo accidental injury. It’s really strange that his unlucky spear torpedo hit the battleship Yamato and returned to Wugang with this torpedo, and the truth surfaced.
I really don’t blame Kennan Kurita for his death. It turned out that the torpedo was fired by the destroyer Shiyu in his fleet. The decent number made the investigation go smoothly. If Kennan Kurita knew that the rain stalk would die in the snow, maybe he wouldn’t be as friendly as this beast.
The war in the waters of the Bismarck Islands caused the Japanese naval fleet to die instantly again. The powerful joint fleet was dying, and the Japanese navy could no longer find a commander who could stir up the girders. Suoshan Fengwen learned that when the 232 nd Division rushed to help Malaysia, Shanwushiliu met the special envoy sent by the navy’s top management in his office.
Marshal "mountain 56! I was ordered to ask you to continue to command the Emperor’s position of the joint fleet to continue to work … Our navy has now reached the most dangerous moment, so please be prejudiced against the Great Japanese Empire … "The man bowed to the mountain and sincerely persuaded him.
"My mountain is destined to be a navy in my life." The former commander of the joint fleet also bent over to interrupt the other side. "Please rest assured that the mountain will die with the joint fleet!"
Chapter 1119 112 High seas fleet attack
Japan’s joint fleet suffered heavy losses, and the temporary replacement of the camp will be Mount Fifty-six. Once again, it is ready to go to the dying with the lost Japanese navy … What do you think? This is a scene that looks quite tragic. When the German navy is heading for the ocean, the Japanese navy is driven back to its hometown in the middle of the ocean.
After General Shan Fengwen was strengthened by the 232nd Division, he deployed a complete battle plan in Malaysia. He learned the lesson that the Chinese and Japanese troops were crushed by the US Navy in the former island battle and deployed the main force at the core of the island. His plan was to counterattack the American troops in the jungle and mountains.
Unfortunately, both he and Japanese officials underestimated the loss of the US Navy in recent naval battles. When Shan Fengwen was waiting for the US Marine Corps, the fact was that the US Navy had returned to Pearl Harbor, while the Marine Corps was repairing the nearby islands and Australia. As time went by, the Japanese and other joint fleets regrouped and the Americans and other new carrier services.
Of course, some people in this world didn’t wait, or when some people waited, it was over. The Gunther Lutjens-Japanese navy dealt a heavy blow to the US navy. On the third day, it led its terrible aircraft carrier fleet to set off from William Military Port. He was going to lead the fleet to bypass the North Sea and carry out an attack on Iceland.
Compared with the Japanese-American naval battle, the German navy’s financial resources are obviously not as strong as it looks. Although the German navy’s achievements in the Atlantic Ocean are not inferior to those in the Pacific battlefield, it is still difficult to hide that the number of main warships of the German navy is insufficient. Gunther Lutjens led the German navy’s high seas fleet this time, and three aircraft carriers accompanied him.
After the first voyage, the Bismarck aircraft carrier was sent to the shipyard for overhaul, and the Erbitz aircraft carrier was also modernized. Gunther Lutjens was able to change its flagship to the Imperial aircraft carrier and sailed to Iceland with the oldest Zeppelin and Prussia.
Recently, Gunther Lutjens can be said to be half-happy and half-worried. His fleet will no longer be unable to sail because of oil shortage, which makes him happy. He has made various plans for the decisive battle of the British navy, hoping to complete the dream of completely defeating the Royal Navy and making the German Navy the top in the world. However, when the German intelligence department confirmed that the US Navy was carrying out the ship-building plan, he immediately fell into gloom.
A message from the army intelligence department shows that the US Navy is building an Essex-class aircraft carrier at the same time. Four of these aircraft carriers have adopted special bow design, which shows that the Atlantic sea conditions are ready. With this information, the German naval command was completely shocked by the powerful industrial manufacturing capability of the United States. Only then did they realize that it seems that it is not enough to defeat the Royal Navy in order to reach the top of the world’s first naval throne.
Who would have thought that when the United States mobilized into a state of war, it had the ability to produce thousands of tanks and nearly 10,000 planes and nearly 100 ships at the same time. These weapons and equipment were much more than those destroyed by Germany in the United States, which made people who knew this situation feel pessimistic.
At this time, everyone remembered why the Fuehrer insisted on attacking France, biting his teeth and carrying huge losses. Despite the pressure of Soviet soldiers, he was determined to fight a landing war in Britain. If it hadn’t defeated the British soil, Germany might have been submerged in the ocean of American-made aircraft and artillery.
"Even if we have three ace pilots, we can’t resist such terrible consumption." This is a dignified statement made by Marshal Catherine, the military commander, after seeing the total production of American aircraft. He is very pessimistic that the German army can barely compete with the United States even now. If you want to maintain the advantage, you need to add two fighters and four bombers.
Gunther Lutjens took one look at the harbor where the aircraft carrier "Dragon" and the aircraft carrier "blucher" were perched, and then finally withdrew his eyes as the aircraft carrier moved. He now had seven aircraft carriers at the very most, but the Americans were not sunk, and they were looking forward to owning an aircraft carrier-this naval resource contest is really more exciting than people.
It’s a pity that now he doesn’t know that if he put history into his hand, Gunther Lutjens had a pathetic battleship, which was chased by the Royal Navy of the British Empire without even seeing the American aircraft carrier fleet, and was replaced by the British Hood battle cruiser by luck, and was wiped out in the Atlantic Ocean a few days later.
At present, he has seven aircraft carriers in his hand to fight, which is what his head of state has done his best. He has set up as many as possible to become Germany, which is not like the United States. It is impossible for a natural country with rich resources to lose its army to give priority to the development of its navy. This doomed Germany to pursue continental chauvinism like China, and the army will always occupy an important position of giving priority to development.
This time, Gunther Lutjens was not accompanied by the battleship Admiral of the fleet of Lei Deer. After the battleship shelled Iceland, it did not return to Germany, but was ordered to pay a friendly visit to northern Britain. Then Liverpool refueled and went south to Gibraltar for maintenance. The German navy is trying to adapt itself to the new role of the ball navy, which is also difficult to cause the disadvantages of scattered troops. However, at present, the German navy has no natural enemies in the Atlantic Ocean, and the degree of scattered troops is beyond the tolerance of German high-level officials.
"Let the destroyer detachment radar search the nearby waters." Gunther Lutjens watched his fleet go out of William’s military port and reached the first battle order. The naval warship reconnaissance plane was ready to stop on the deck and wait for the take-off position. The whole fleet was all right at any time, and it didn’t take long to get out of the speed of 2 knots.
The navy’s voyage is more vivid than burning oil. Some heavy oil will consume tens of thousands of tons at any time. If it is replaced by gasoline and diesel, it can be used by a tank army for several weeks, which consumes equipment wear and maintenance, ammunition consumption and personnel consumption. Compared with the army and the army, the navy can be regarded as a real luxury.
It’s just that Gunther Lutjens sits in the huge canteen of the aircraft carrier Empire and prepares more than 16 breakfasts before 7 o’clock every day, and then prepares the same number of lunches before 12 o’clock-this time it will be even tighter if there is a possibility of fighting. The whole warship is made of 10,000 tons of steel, and every weld and rivet must be checked every day. This is not a war with the enemy, but a contest with yourself.
"Take-off anti-submarine helicopters patrol the nearby waters … Let the patrol aircraft take off to alert the nearby waters … It’s not easy to train to sail once while grasping!" Gunther Lutjens looked at the busy bridge and the officers of various departments continued to order.
On the surface, it seems that the navy’s oil shortage has been alleviated, but Germany’s oil shortage has also been partially alleviated. The Fuehrer’s report on wartime economic development is simply a loose promise that core cities such as Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich, Paris, Rotterdam and Warsaw will take the lead in abolishing fuel consumption restrictions. This move has made the civilians applaud and at the same time made Germany have a full 30,000 more civilian vehicles to consume fuel to a new level.
The military is very dissatisfied with this measure to cancel the oil restriction, because this measure has made the German oil reserve Libyan oil field still fail to prepare an extra drop of oil after expanding its production capacity. guderian even wrote to ask arcado why he wanted to dismantle the military platform at this time, but he never talked about the national policy of oil supply after arcado wrote back.
So did arcado. He had to give a part of the war dividend to the people to reconcile the various national contradictions brought by the war. He and his propaganda department have always preached the benefits of the war, but those who believe in the Fuehrer need to see those benefits with their own eyes.
With the war going on, arcado has actually lifted many restricted industries, first of all, the most important grain industry. When German troops in arcado invaded Ukraine, they liberated the country to restrict grain trading. At that time, Germany was also dissatisfied for a while, but then it stabilized grain prices and the country supported the Fuehrer. The lifting of the restrictions achieved good results.
Immediately after eating the sweets, arcado played this trick again. He then lifted the alcohol restriction and allowed German countries and France to sell all kinds of wines on weekends. This move once again made the Third Reich boil, and the war seemed to be getting farther and farther away from them, and the good life seemed to have passed.
Bolder, arcado then allocated 20% of steel output to entrepreneurs to produce more civilian products, which is also the reason why Linus can control some Norwegian iron ore roots later-although it was a bit unpleasant in the process, arcado still felt that this means of taking from the people could gain more support from the German people.
So this time he made the same reform in oil.
Chapter 112 1121 The distant future
There are also some people in the real army who support the reform of lifting the restrictions, because with the relaxation of the policy towards the people, the oil restrictions in Germany have also been lifted on a large scale. In the former German territory, there was a regulation prohibiting school officers from taking cars, but with the lifting of the oil restrictions, the military relaxed this regulation to junior officers. Obviously, this relaxation was welcomed by middle-level officers.
This is the way of social development. Once the demand is released, it will expand like a blowout. However, with more and more balance, it will eventually return to normal. It is not without reason that arcado dares to do so, because he has more than one Libyan oil field in his hand.
Baku oil field is slowly recovering its production state. Because of the protection of the former surrender defenders, most of the production equipment has been retained. This is simply the dream of the Germans, and the results are less. After the efforts of local guerrillas have achieved results, the oil field produced by Baku has been able to meet many frontline troops.
On the other hand, Rommel’s triumphant progress in the Middle East has driven mountbatten’s defenders to the eastern part of Saudi Arabia. If he can maintain this offensive speed, the German armored forces will control another oil-producing area-it seems that the Reed people can no longer worry about the oil fields during this period. It seems that they have changed from a poor oil country to a real oil monopoly country overnight.
With the increasingly advanced management and production of rubber forests in central Africa, the lack of rubber in Germany has become a thing of the past, and most of the time, the rubber production produced by Germany itself can meet most of the needs of the country.
This is why most empires will eventually take the road of expansion, because with the territorial expansion and the expansion of their sphere of influence, their own development needs more and more various means of production, and it is much easier to move out of control than to import from other countries.
Therefore, when Gunther Lutjens left the German waters with his own aircraft carrier fleet, he delivered a speech on lifting the oil restriction in the live broadcast lecture room of arcado’s head of state’s residence to a national audience of 10,000 people. "Gentlemen, if your memory has not declined, you will remember that sentence I said to you during the war."
