Imperial Overlord

: One thousand one hundred and eighty-two gaps appear



It is a pity that the United States is willing to accept such losses, but the Japanese army has already seen its own failure in such losses.

The 200 aircraft lost by the United States is nothing at all. As the world's largest industrial power, the United States produces far more aircraft per month at this time.

But the Japanese side is embarrassed. Although its aircraft production is not small, it is a bit underwhelming compared with the United States.

In addition, Japan's stupid pilot training backup system is really unable to withstand such crazy consumption.

In the eyes of the Japanese army, they may not have made a profit by replacing ten American planes with one plane. The problem now is that a Japanese plane can only be replaced by two American planes at most.

This is still a good-looking result obtained under the premise that Japan suddenly let ME-109E fighter jets participate in the war.

If you only rely on the domestic product of the KI-43 Falcon fighter to fight, it is estimated that the highest battle damage ratio will be about 1:1.5.

For Japan, such a battle result is absolutely unacceptable. Another headache is that the difference in the speed of logistical supply between the two sides is too great.

Japan is also an island country, but its number of ships really cannot be compared with traditional powers like the British Empire.

The United States is fighting in New Guinea, with Australia very close to its back, while the Japanese army fighting in New Guinea is behind the Malayan Japanese defenders who are not very rich.

Therefore, the pressure on Japan is very large, especially the transportation pressure. Such pressure forced the Japanese army to take the lead in making changes, adding instability to the war situation.

There are many battles in history that were forced to change in advance because they could not stand the pressure. For example, the most famous one was the battle of Qin Zhao Changping.

That battle made people slaughtered, and it also proved that a country with insufficient comprehensive national strength would take the initiative to seek war on the battlefield. What would the result be.

The main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet hiding far away in Malaya, that is, the First Aviation Fleet and the First Fleet under Yamamoto Fifty-six.

Jisaburo Ozawa is now in command of this fleet, cruising in the waters between Malaya and New Guinea, waiting for the chance of a decisive battle.

But this opportunity never appeared, which made Yamamoto and Ozawa anxious. On the battleship Yamato, which had just returned to the anchorage to refuel, the telegraph room received a secret telegram from the base camp.

After the translation, the officer on duty in the telegraph room sent this top-secret telegram to Yamamoto Shiro.

He stood at attention and saluted, then handed over the telegram and reported: "Marshal Yamamoto! The order from the base camp is to do everything possible to find the American fleet, annihilate it, and regain control of the sea near New Guinea!"

"In that case, our fleet has to take the initiative to attack again, and we can only reveal our own position first..." Yamamoto fifty-six replied with a headache when he heard the order.

For this naval battle, Yamamoto's idea was that the U.S. fleet would join the battle first, and the Japanese fleet would then attack the U.S. fleet.

But now it seems that this plan of his cannot be completed: because the Japanese fleet will take the initiative to attack next, and be the first to fight.

He painstakingly arranged this naval battle, preserving the naval aviation that the Navy has just accumulated, the purpose is to wait for the US Navy fleet to reveal its position first.

But Halsey, the famous US Navy admiral, although his style is very like a mad dog, but his style of play is very like a fox. He did not let the aircraft carrier fleet enter the Torres Strait, but only sent the destroyers and cruisers that the United States had consumed to keep testing.

Under this circumstance, the Japanese army could only let its destroyers and cruisers enter the Torres Strait, compete for sea control of the strait, and cut off the landing transportation of the United States.

But after several days of fighting, the U.S. Navy withstood the losses by relying on its numerical superiority. On the contrary, Japan's destroyer fleet and cruiser fleet could not stand it.

During the day, the air superiority of the strait is in the hands of the U.S. Army Aviation Corps. If the U.S. Army Aviation Corps had no experience in attacking the sea, the Japanese Navy might now be crippled.

Yamamoto had to continue to endure, waiting for the US Navy to make mistakes first. In the eyes of the Japanese Army, his waiting like this was a sign of inaction.

After all, Fengwen at the foot of the mountain on the island of New Guinea is about to lose his support now: his troops have dropped sharply from more than 40,000 before the war to less than 30,000.

If this continues, within ten days, the Japanese army will be consumed to about 20,000. At that time, the mountain defense line will not be able to stop the American army from attacking.

Just looking at the data on October 11, the two armies of the U.S. landing force all went ashore and received more than 60,000 tons of supplies and ammunition.

On the same day, Yamashita Fengwen only got 500 supplementary soldiers, and more than 500 tons of supplies and ammunition...

The follow-up forces between the two sides were not on the same level at all, making Yamashita Fengwen's counterattack plan all in vain.

If it weren't for the fact that the United States was afraid of the Japanese Navy and did not dare to join the Navy to follow up operations~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Maybe now Yamashita Fengwen's troops have collapsed and destroyed.

The enormous pressure caused Yamashita to send telegrams one after another asking for reinforcements, and the navy's inaction became an excuse for him to shirk his responsibilities.

As a result, the base camp now puts all the pressure on the Japanese navy, which makes Yamamoto Fifty-six very passive.

On the one hand, he must ensure that the navy is invincible, and on the other hand, he must attack and defeat the American fleet...

What's more terrible is that he also has to separate the destroyer unit to transport supplies to the army - to rush to transport as many troops as possible to the island of New Guinea.

It is not impossible to rush troops to New Guinea, but the pre-war deployment of the Japanese army in New Guinea was so bad that subsequent supplies became chaotic.

In order to prevent the U.S. military from raiding New Guinea, the Japanese army sent a large number of troops to the island, but as the troops increased, the number of logistical supplies also began to increase.

Originally, there was not much food on the island. Before the war, 40,000 people had to be supported, and now more than 30,000 troops had to be supported. Just food consumption made the Japanese army stretched short.

Next is the issue of ammunition: the ammunition consumed by 40,000 soldiers is twice that of 20,000 soldiers, and the increased consumption rate also makes it very difficult for the Japanese army to replenish.

In addition to these, including medical medicines, corresponding command equipment, and fuel consumption, the Japanese executives who have hardly bothered about logistics have suffered a lot.
