Chapter nine hundred and fifty-ninth divisions to pursue
"The information has been confirmed." At this time, it was already evening. The bridge of the Akagi was brightly lit. Natsuyun Tadao looked at the people present, including the commanders coming from other aircraft carriers, and held this emergency meeting.
"We cannot send telegrams to the local area, otherwise our whereabouts will be exposed." Nagashima Tadaichi said: "In Pearl Harbor, American battleships are anchored there, but the only thing is missing is the US aircraft carrier."
"The Enterprise and Lexington started from Pearl Harbor this morning and moved east along the route, with the goal of returning to the United States. Their Saratoga is returning from San Diego, the United States, and it is expected to take more than ten days to reach Pearl Harbor."
The Enterprise and Lexington were discovered after their carrier-based aircraft searched the sea, while the Saratoga was observed by spies from the United States. Now, these news gathered in the fleet, which is a new problem for them.
Are the aircraft carriers still launching attacks as planned?
"The original plan cannot be changed, we should continue to move forward. Although the US aircraft carrier is not there, we still have a large number of other targets waiting to be destroyed." said Rear Admiral Sentaro Omori, commander of the First Destroyer Team.
Since you have all come out, you can't go back empty-handed. Moreover, it's not appropriate to stay here for a few more days, and you'll be discovered by Americans at any time.
Continue to act as planned!
"No, the US aircraft carrier is our biggest threat. We must destroy the American aircraft carrier in one fell swoop!" Another officer said: "We must not let the US aircraft carrier go!"
Suddenly, the conflict arose. Everyone, according to their own opinions, became louder and louder, and they were quarreling. Natsumoto Tadichi, didn't know what to do.
"I suggest that we can separate an aircraft carrier and two destroyers to form a new formation to catch up with the American aircraft carrier." At this moment, Rudel continued to put forward his own point of view.
Let’s split an aircraft carrier! There are not enough carrier-based aircraft carriers, but if they attack, they can be completely successful. Moreover, Rudel is very confident about the bombs specially designed for anti-warships provided by his side. Under dive bombing, one can kill an aircraft carrier!
A dozen Stuka bombers released by an aircraft carrier were enough to destroy the formation of two aircraft carriers on the other side.
As for the Saratoga, unfortunately, it can only be left for the future, but the Enterprise and Lexington cannot let them continue to be free!
"No, we cannot divide the troops. This is a taboo. We must concentrate our efforts on Pearl Harbor." Someone immediately opposed it.
The island country's navy is not very powerful. This time, it has already done its best to mobilize six aircraft carriers. The combat targets have been set long ago. The carrier-based aircraft on each aircraft carrier have been assigned the target. At this time, the combat plan will be temporarily revised. Who should complete the targets assigned by the carrier-based aircraft on the dispatched aircraft carriers?
No, of course not!
"Our main six aircraft carriers must be together. If they are separated, they cannot concentrate their full strength, and they may suffer losses." Natsuichi Nagamoto said.
The latter sentence is the main thing. Only when the fleet is formed together can it be easy to form a rope. If one aircraft carrier is divided and two aircraft carriers are dealt with, it may be sunk by others!
Natsuichi Nagamoto cannot bear the responsibility, he has always been a cautious person.
Rudel shook his head: "Since that's the case, then send the Ryuta Maru out! In this way, you don't have to worry about the main ship being damaged, and you can have the spare time to attack the US aircraft carrier formation. How about it?"
The Ryuda Maru is a German oil tanker. It is a modified aircraft carrier. It only carries fifteen Stuka bombers and is used as a reserve team. Now, Rudel proposes to let the aircraft carrier chase. Even if it is sunk by the opponent, it will not suffer much loss. However, if the sneak attack succeeds, it will make a great contribution!
"I don't know if the speed of Ryuta Maru can catch up?" Someone still has questions.
"What's there? If you can't catch up, the plane will always catch up? As long as you can know the other party's route, there is hope." Rudel said: "You guys are not good at the same time, this is not good, that is not good either!"
In the attitude of Head of Cialique, he looked down on the island country. Now, Rudel finally understood that the lower-level soldiers of the island country are not afraid of death and dare to rush forward in any situation. Many of the advantages gained by the island country were made by the lower-level officers.
But when it comes to the top management of the island country, it won’t work. It’s always timid and hesitant. I don’t know how determined I have to take the risk of attacking Pearl Harbor this time. If it weren’t for Fifty-six of the Peach, this action would never be possible.
At this time, Rudel really wanted to stand by and watch, but he was a person who knew the general.
The war between the island countries and the United States is of great significance to Germany. The German naval riots need time to accumulate. This time is given by the island countries, and this battle is a key battle!
"If you don't dare, then I will go to the Ryuta Maru to help direct the bombing of US aircraft carriers on the Ryuta Maru." Rudel said: "If there is any problem with the pilot, I can also launch the aircraft. How about it?"
This is a war between the island nation and the United States, but it has allowed a German to walk ahead and shows his own cowardly behavior. The people present cannot hold on their faces.
"Okay, then follow the words of consultant Rudel." Nagashiyama said: "Koxi wants the Navy Colonel, responsible for commanding the Ryuda Maru. You must start attacking after we send a signal here, let us act at the same time and blow up the American Pacific Fleet!"
With the order of Tadaichi Nagamo, the plan to bomb Pearl Harbor was modified. In the dark, the Ryuda Maru, who was sailing at the end of the formation, drove at full speed and left the formation.
The high-speed diesel engine made a roar, and black smoke came out of the chimney. The Ryuta Maru will continue to sail at its maximum speed regardless of the shocking fuel consumption.
The carrier-based aircraft troops who received the new order were extremely excited.
"Refresh the target, we are going to attack the American aircraft carrier!" Flying Toshi Nagato Fuji Saburo of the 50th Squad said to his subordinates: "Everyone cheers me up. If something happens, even if it hits, I will hit the American aircraft carrier!"
There are not many pilots who can go to Germany for training, because the price in Germany is too high. Most pilots still fly in their own country and are taught by pilots who have returned from studying in Germany.
Therefore, they always feel that they are inferior, especially when they are deployed on the Ryuta Maru, this inappropriate aircraft carrier was modified with an oil tanker, and the speed is as slow as a snail, so they feel that they are a second-tier unit.
But now, they have got the most difficult task to bomb the American aircraft carrier!
"Our warship has only two PC1000rs bombs, which must be used by the most experienced pilots and must not be wasted." Saburo Kondo said.
