So Sugiyama Yuan still respects himself very much, so he used the forces of five divisions to defeat Fu Zuoyi, the Eighth Route Army of Shaanxi and Hu Zongnan? Yao...xi! This is an army of nearly 800,000 people. I can kill them with 100,000 combat soldiers. If you play big, you will be big.

When the puzzled Mejiro Umezu raised this question, Sugiyama Moto patted his chest a little embarrassedly, "Just defeat, just defeat, no need to wipe out all. I have studied it. The Kuomintang army has weak combat power. Taking last year's Zhongtiaoshan Battle as an example, the strength of our division can eliminate 200,000 Kuomintang troops. I think Hu Zongnan's troops will not be much stronger than Zhongtiaoshan's Zhong**. Umezu Jun can rest assured that you will definitely defeat them without any effort. As for the Eighth Route Army troops, they have always acted dispersedly, and I think you can't catch their main force, so this battle is not treated as a key point."

While admiring, Mijiro Umezu thought that if the No. 5 combat plan can be implemented smoothly, it will be the largest military operation in history. Such a resolute and decisive action is a real big move and an unprecedented and desperate act. Maybe it can really solve the Chinese problem.

Because of her simple face and fat face, Sugiyama was called the fool when she was in the military academy. But at this time, Meijiro Umezu never thought so again. Sijiro? It would be better to have a few more fools with such a big strategic mind! In Meijiro Umezuzu's eyes, Sugiyama's image suddenly became taller.

The two of them communicated repeatedly about the details, and before they knew it, the lights were already on the outside.

"Then I will start preparing?" Meijiro Umezu recognized the No. 5 Plan. As a practical worker, Meijiro Umezu wanted to fly back to "Manchuria" immediately to prepare for all preparations before the expedition. It was only half a year before the implementation of the plan. I just talked about the greatest support materials and manpower for this unprecedented war, and the "Manchuria" needed the maximum support materials and manpower, and the food and fodder and military supplies needed to be transferred to the North China Front and the Central China Front. Most of the materials transferred from China during the "Guan Special Examination" last year will be used in this expedition. It will take several months to complete the operation of millions of tons of materials.

Sugiyama Yuan looked up at the wall clock in the study and replied with a happy expression: "Ah! Is it already 7 o'clock? I really didn't expect that my discussion with Umejinjun was so happy, I want to..."

Do you want to keep me for dinner? Umezu Mijiro thought.

"Please wait for a while, I'm going to have a guest here soon. Nagano Shuisu and Yamamoto Iroku will come to me to discuss the issue. We'll eat together and talk together."

Hum? Nagano's self-cultivation? The chief of the Navy Command, the first person in the Imperial Navy. Yamamoto Iroku, the commander of the Joint Fleet. These two are old acquaintances, so it's good to have dinner and chat together. Besides, I can't sleep without drinking some wine at night.

It was pleasant to have a drink and chat with Nagano Cunny and Iroku Yamamoto. Both sides recalled the whole process of getting to know each other. Under the influence of sake, the four even sang an uneven country tune.

"Rasu...Rasu...Hehe...Rasu..." Sugiyama Tsuki was singing happily. He had just shown off his No. 5 combat plan to Nagano Cultivator. Nagano Cultivator did not object. This was good. This was a good start. The No. 5 combat also had to use the naval transport ships and warships to go up the Yangtze River. I was afraid that hundreds of ships were needed. Sugiyama Tsuki was afraid that Nagano Cultivator would refuse.

Nagano slimly and patiently Xingko listened to Sugiyama's "howling", raised her glass and said, "But I have to ask Sugiyama to wait for a while. After we eliminate the main force of the US Navy, even if Sugiyama needs 200 ships, I will not be stingy."

Sugiyama Yuan replied with a drunken eye: "That's that's it, that's it, that's it. We've calculated it. When the Navy eliminates the Americans, my plan has just begun to be implemented."

While Umezu Mijiro drank, he did not forget to prick up his ears and listen to the conversation between the army and the army. As the highest chief of staff of His Majesty the Emperor, every word they spoke out of their mouths had shocking secrets. This small banquet was really a rare place to find the most secrets, and we must be good at seizing this good opportunity.

Yamamoto Izuru was also slightly drunk, and he basically answered questions about Mijiro Umezu's low-key question.

Umetsu took the opportunity to ask: "Yamamoto, what big moves will the Navy take recently?"

"This..." Yamamoto hesitated, but in the end he did not resist Mijiro Umezu's earnest smile, and had no choice but to answer: "We are about to capture Midway Island and Aleutian Islands, lure the US aircraft carriers out to fight to the final battle, and then destroy them in one fell swoop."

The plan mentioned by Yamamoto Izuru is the Midway Naval Battle Plan. Although the scale of this plan is not as large as that of Plan No. 5, it is also the largest in the history of the navy. Yamamoto Izuru's ambitious delusion completely wiped out the main force of the US Navy in one fell swoop and took away the only few remaining aircraft carriers of the US military. If it can be accomplished, the Pacific Ocean will belong to the R. The US Navy will be unable to get involved in East Asia within a year. The R. will be able to consolidate and strengthen the newly occupied areas until the newly occupied areas are completely digested and absorbed and become the "inherent territory" of the large R.R. In this way, the R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R.R

Midway Island is a circular atoll with a diameter of 6 nautical miles. The sand island and East Island located in the southeast of the inner side are composed of stone-like sand and gravel. The ground is basically flat and the surface is covered with a layer of sparse tropical plants.

Midway Island is not only an important patrol base for enemy mobile troops to approach the land of RB, but also the only base that can directly attack Wick Island occupied by large aircraft. After occupying Southeast Asia, when the Navy carried out active operations in the east of the Pacific, the island and the Aleutian Islands will be in a strategic position that can greatly restrain RB operations.

It is an important military base and transportation hub for the United States in the Central Pacific region, and it is also the gateway and outpost of the US military in Hawaii. Once Midway is lost, Pearl Harbor, the base of the US Pacific Fleet, will also lose its lips and teeth. Therefore, Irosaki Yamamoto estimated that the main force of the US Navy will surely come to aid, and it will be able to encircle and annihilate it in one fell swoop.

This is not a simple battle, it is a battle that determines the global war situation. If Yamamoto Iroji really can achieve his goal, then the United States will not be able to effectively counterattack the Japanese Navy in the Pacific in the short term.

Not only that, if the Japanese navy threatens or really attacks the West Bank of the United States, it will force the United States to transfer the military equipment urgently needed to be sent to the European frontline to the West Bank of the United States. This will not only cause a shortage of military supplies in the European theater, but may even cause the European theater to fall again and allow Germany to win the final victory.

As the saying goes, war has a turning point. If the Battle of Midway can become a turning point for the R army, it will definitely help the ally Germany to be on a big fuss, at least to boost morale.

As a high-level strategic thinking Iroku Yamamoto thought of this.

In March, the US air strikes in Tokyo shocked the Japanese government and the opposition, and also stimulated Yamamoto, making him more determined to attack Midway Island.

Yamamoto determined the specific combat plan for attacking Midway: first send a fleet to attack the Aleutian Islands, land on the Atu Island and Kisca Island in the archipelago, use this as bait to bring the attention of the US fleet to the north, and then use the main fleet to take the opportunity to seize Midway. The combat date was initially set at early June. On May 5, the Japanese Navy Command issued the "Base Navy Order No. 18" to officially approve the Midway combat plan and was named "Mi Operation".

Of course, the plan set in the fifth sixth edition was very complicated. At that time, the troops directly participated in the Midway Island combat in the combat force of the joint fleet were divided into main forces, mobile troops, captive troops, base aviation troops and advance troops.

Since the war started, the participating troops had been in large-scale operations for about half a year, they were busy replenishing personnel, changing shifts, repairing ships, and planes. Not to mention enough training, even the issues related to this battle did not have time to study them well, and could only implement the combat plan issued by the joint fleet in a hurry. This was unexpected by Yamamoto Iroku. He did not expect that these foolish subordinates would not understand the essence of his plan. His essence was to eliminate the US Navy. As for when to capture Midway Island, it was just a small problem.

Yamamoto Irosaki judged that the enemy ships were estimated to have 2 to 3 aircraft carriers, 2 warships, 4 to 5 Class A cruisers, 3 to 4 Class B cruisers, 4 light cruisers, about 30 destroyers, and about 25 submarines.

Since the war started, the US Navy has invested 6 aircraft carriers in the Pacific Ocean. The Enterprise was sunk on the first day of the war. The Saratoga was seriously injured in February 1942 and is being repaired. It is impossible to repair it in a few months. The Lexington sank in the Coral Sea Battle not long ago. The York City sank in the Coral Sea Battle. Now there are only two sister ships, the Hornet and the Hornet.

Yamamoto himself can dispatch 8 aircraft carriers, plus 6 seaplane and cargo ships, 50 auxiliary warships, and 30 submarines. This will be a one-sided battle, and Yamamoto Izuru is full of confidence.

While drinking and hearing the heat, Nagano Cultivator asked a strange thing to Yamamoto Izumijiro, which made Umezu Mijiro's ears erect.

"Yamamoto, have those two "Freia" already been installed in the fleet?"

"It has been completed, one is installed on the Yamato, and the other is "Akagi". Please rest assured."

Umezu Mijiro asked, "What is Freia?"

Yamamoto was a little embarrassed. He finally covered his face with wine and hummed in a mosquito-like voice, "We exchanged the two radars that Hitler sent for us with soybeans."

Last year, the Japanese army and the Soviet army fought in the area of ​​Hassan Lake. The Japanese army, which had backward weapons, urgently needed tanks and anti-tank guns. Konoe Fumiya asked Hitler for help. Hitler was very happy and asked R to transport 150,000 tons of high-quality Chinese soybeans to the national port. He would give him a gift.

The gift included a large number of ragged military light weapons, 100 military B2 tanks and two German-made Freia air defense radars. This cargo was less than 150,000 tons. In desperation, the Merchant fleet that ran across half of the earth had to purchase a large amount of European minerals and returned to the Merchant Company.

The Navy got the first to get the moon when it was close to the water and got the two treasures secretly, and the Army had no idea about this.

Freia's detection distance is 60 kilometers, and she can be warned ten minutes in advance. After getting it, the navy felt like it was a treasure and invested manpower to imitate it. However, the technology was not up to standard. After imitating for several months, she only produced several "counterfeit goods" with a detection distance of only 20 kilometers. She had to take back the original machine and install it on her fleet. The original machine was better than the counterfeit goods.

Umezu Mijiro looked at Yamamoto Izuru speechlessly. Yamamoto Izuru dodged Umezu's lethal eyes and felt embarrassed.

Umejin thought angrily: The Navy is such a group of bastards, it's really not interesting! He refuses to share good things, and he still hides them, bastard!
