Chapter 3036
Li Mei, the bystander and instigator, had already noticed the problem, but the American golden eagle pilots involved did not know this.Their brains and bodies are still in a highly excited state, but this excitement is a bit too much, and even makes them hallucinate.In this case, once the Chinese golden eagles started to kill their golden eagles, they would have no room to resist.

In just 5 minutes, seeing two American Golden Eagles being shot down without any resistance, Li Mei thought about it, gritted his teeth and issued a command that later caused him to encounter a lot of criticism and was almost sent to a military court. The order: "Flying Eagles of America, I am Li Mei, and now I ask you to carry out a special attack! For America! For our fleet, you must stop the attack of Chinese bombers! Never mind the Chinese fighter planes, your goal is Fortress in the air! Attack! Use your fighter planes, use your bodies! All for the United States!"

What kind of mentality did Li Mei give such an order? Later generations of military historians have made various analyzes of this.It was not until after Li Mei's death that people found the correct answer from his memoirs.

"...Since the physical condition of our pilots has problems, I think, rather than let them be shot down by the Chinese golden eagle for nothing, it is better to let them play their residual heat. Isn't the government introducing stimulants just to make up for the lack of fighting will of the frontline troops? Strong weakness? Catalyzed by stimulants, our pilots are braver than ever, maybe they can really perform miracles?"

Does Li Mei glorify herself and the US Pacific Fleet in her memoirs?The answer is yes.The objective explanation is that when Li Mei issued such an order, she was actually preparing to go all out and "break the pot".

If the main force of the Chinese Pacific Fleet is hidden behind the raid fleet, there is nothing wrong with him doing so.There was a large-scale bombing of Chinese air fortresses before, and the encirclement and suppression of China's main fleet later. When the US Pacific Fleet is in order, it may still have the strength of World War I.But now, with only one-third or even less than one-third of the fleet's overall combat power left and no reinforcements outside, it seems that no matter what Li Mei does, the result is already doomed.

It's just that there is no main force of the Chinese Pacific Fleet behind the raid fleet, so Li Mei's actions are counterproductive and speed up the destruction of the US Pacific Fleet.

The American pilots whose brains have been dominated by stimulants have lost their basic ability to distinguish right from wrong. At this time, Li Mei's order is an imperial edict to them.At this time, they could no longer control their fighters.Therefore, Li Mei's special attack order was simply a reminder from Hades to them.

Because of the poor performance of the American golden eagles, the Chinese golden eagles wiped them out almost effortlessly.After the American golden eagles were wiped out, they immediately flew back to Guam for supplies according to Zhang Xiaolin's order.

One wrong step and one wrong step. If Li Mei had ordered the fleet to break out of the siege from the very beginning, although they would still suffer heavy losses, a considerable proportion of the warships would surely escape.It is a pity that he made a wrong judgment from the beginning, so the total destruction of the US Pacific Fleet was actually doomed from the moment he ordered the U-turn.

Compared to Li Mei who made a wrong judgment at the beginning, Zhang Xiaolin adjusted his tactics little by little, and through this adjustment, he firmly held the initiative on the battlefield in his hands.Therefore, after bombing the Princeton aircraft carrier and the heavy cruiser Canberra one after another, he realized that the next battle would be a fierce battle, and that his side was very likely to completely wipe out the US Pacific Fleet.

In fact, when the battle reached halftime, the Americans still had a chance to escape.After all, the main force in Zhang Xiaolin's hands is only fighter planes, and the raid fleet simply does not have the ability to fight the Americans head-on.If Li Mei had chosen to withdraw and escape early, Zhang Xiaolin would not only be able to expand the results of the battle through pursuit, but would have to watch helplessly as the remaining American ships slipped away.

It's a pity that Li Mei was blinded by hatred later and completely lost his composure. Not only did he fail to seize the last chance, but he also made the battlefield closer to Guam.So, when he finally found out that something was wrong, he had already lost the chance to escape.

Zhang Xiaolin also sent a telegram to the Kaohsiung headquarters while making the decision to let the golden eagles return to Guam for supplies. At this time, he still believed that the strategic intention of the Americans was to seize Guam to gain a chance to survive.So in the telegram, he asked the headquarters to contact the Pacific Fleet immediately, so that the Pacific Fleet would deploy some forces to support Guam.

"I will try to increase the airborne time of the cluster as much as possible to help the Guam defenders resist the American attack, but this time will never exceed one hour. According to my estimation, it should take three hours for the Americans to capture Guam, so, If there is no reinforcement by twelve o'clock, we will just sit back and watch Guam be occupied by the Americans..."

This telegram from Zhang Xiaolin was crucial to establishing the Guam naval victory.At this time, the Song Zu aircraft carrier fleet under the jurisdiction of China's Pacific Fleet was advancing towards the Palau Islands about [-] kilometers away from the Palau Islands.The strategic intention of the Songzu aircraft carrier fleet is obvious, which is to block the Japanese combined fleet's eastern retreat and completely block the Japanese combined fleet in the waters off the Palau Islands.

Li Mei didn't play cards according to common sense at all. Tie Linfei thought he was brewing some serious conspiracy. After seeking Xue Changkong's opinion, he immediately called Chen Ce and informed Chen Ce of the situation of the Guam naval battle, and asked Chen Ce to make a decision Whether to send reinforcements.

Under the oppression of China's two aircraft carrier fleets, the Japanese combined fleet has already started the battle to seize the island. This certainly makes it difficult for the Chinese Pacific Fleet to wipe it out, but it also gives Chen Ce and Bai Chongxi a reassurance.At this time, the Japanese Combined Fleet is still a giant, and the Chinese Pacific Fleet will inevitably break a few teeth if it wants to eat it in one bite.The Japanese plan to stay on the big island, which is just convenient for the Chinese side to manipulate them slowly. For Chen Ce and Bai Chongxi, why not do it?

The US Pacific Fleet turned around and attacked Guam. Chen Ce and Bai Chongxi also couldn't see through the American strategy.In the past, when the U.S. Pacific Fleet's combat strength was intact, it might not be a problem to let it occupy Guam, but now that the Americans are missing arms and legs, it is unreasonable to let Luo Chunjian and the others abolish their martial arts.

"I can't understand, I can't figure it out! But now we have an absolute advantage in strength, let Wang Feiming and the others turn around to support Guam! The Songzu aircraft carrier fleet is now about [-] kilometers away from Guam. It can be done like this, let Wang Feiming take HNA The troops are divided into three echelons, and the echelon will provide support to Guam! The American naval force has been abolished, and with Zhang Xiaolin and the golden eagle left behind as support, it will definitely not be a problem to support the Song Zu aircraft carrier fleet!"
