My German Empire

Chapter 783 Hawaii Islands (8)

In the German fleet, looked at the flying dock in the distance has been put into operation, and a staff in the flagship bridge proposed to Haierman commander. "Command, completely occupying Wahu is just a matter of time. Do we want to transfer to the Midway?"

Midway island, the area is only 4.7 square kilometers, found in 1867, from 1903, was judged by the US Navy, 1905, built a seabed cable linkage station, built an air station and submarine base in 1939. Be one of the important naval bases in the United States.

It is a midway that most people will remember the famous Mid-Tao Battle during World War II. In the Second World War, there are countless battles in these battles. In these battles, there is an important influence on the entire battlefield of the Second World War, and the Midway is on the Pacific Battlefield. The turning point is loaded into the history.

For this war, the Japanese army can say that it is quite enough. Almost the entire navy is used in this battle, a total of two hundred ships, including eight aircraft carriers, eleven battles, twenty-two cruisers Sixty-five destroyers, twenty-one submarines, to help them have more than six hundred planes, and a total of the United States only barely concentrated on seventy-six ships, including nearly one-third of the North Pacific The troops did not participate in the battle.

In the early morning of June 4, 1944, the Japanese army's first wave of attacking chassis 36 dive bomber, thirty-six horizontal bomber and thirty-six-zero fighters began to take off from four air carriers, one Bai Chao Bad carrier is set up together to attack the middle of the island, and the US military fighter stationed in the middle of the island is all emptied, and the Japanese army fighter, the US military bomber, including the B-17 bomber, also launched the Japanese army fleet.

In this way, this vast war kicked off, although the Japanese force dispatched more than the US military, but the process of war is in the expectation of people, the US military has a tenacious combat capability, hard student. Winning this battle, all of the Japanese army retired the middle of the road.

The battle was over June 7. In this five-day war, the Japanese army's casualties were heavy, and there were 3,500 people in this war. There were four aircraft carriers to sink, one heavy cruise ship was Sinking, there is also a loss of nearly two hundred and eighty fighters, and the US military is more than the Japanese army, the loss is much smaller, the US military only killed three hundred seas, lost a aircraft carrier and a destroyer, and another There is also a hundred and forty-seven fighters.

The significance of this Mid-Tao Battle is extremely significant, because in this battle in this battle, the Japanese army has lost weight, began to gradually lose the strategic initiative on the Pacific Battlefield, and the battle started to have a turnover of the Allies, and later The Allies have made a solid foundation in the final victory.

Haierman commander hopes to others. "What do you say?"

Other staff agreed to send troops to the middle of the island. After all, at this time, the battle of Wahu has been looking forward to, and they are not as if they are here, but they are not as good as taking the way.

See Haierman commander nodded and told him. "Take three battleships, four aircraft carriers to the middle of the island."

"Ah!" Startherly scared. They have a total of five battleships, and the commander actually dropped so many wars. Is it a bit risky?

Helman commander smiled. "It is said that you can bring those timid Americans."

At mids of the staff, they immediately enforced orders, transferring three battleships, four aircraft carriers and several cruisers, and destroyed to the middle of the island. The Wilson command on Wahu also found the strangement of the German fleet, although I didn't know the intentions of the German, but he still transferred this news to the commander of the Pacific Fleet.

At this time, Nmitz is discussing a staff member to build a Pacific defense.

Yesterday, I learned that the Germans had a deep concern that the German had a powerful air cushion boat.

He can't sit on, and immediately call the staff and began to set up the Pacific defense.

Interestingly the Nimitz defense plan is similar to the Atlantic Fortress Plan for the original time and space. The German Atlantic Antiolans began to build from March 1942, mainly to prevent allies from landing in the European continent, constructed by Fritz. Tott, Fritz Tit and Albert, Sper, after Laomei Inn, the small beard and Gorber have vigorously advocated it, called "no defense".

The defense line plan is about 4,000 kilometers long, the planned work is very large, during the peak of the project, the German army mobilized 260,000 manpower, putting 13 million tons of concrete and 120,000 tons of steel, built projects at 15,000 locations. By June 6, 1944, when Normand landing camoufa, the defense line only completed part of the project, and only 68% of the Caichang Coast Engineering program was completed, and only 18% was completed in Normandy Coast Engineering Plan.

Atlantic barrier is a linear position, there is no depth of the ladder, and it is expected that it is possible to become a union offensive target, build a number of independent and sturdy buildings, equipped with heavy weapons, maximum tolerance The offshore troops stationed, the smallest can only accommodate the class and stationed. On most of the entire line, the field is relatively weak. The whole line is more important to the setting of obstacles, and it is planned to bury 60 million mines in the vast band of the coastline, only 6 million mines in June 1944.

In the expected beaches that are most likely to log in, the explosive obstacles are combined with the city obstacles to set several strips and consider the combination of obstacles and firepower. Before Normandy landing, the Atlantic barrier once is proven to be insurmountable. This aspect is because the German commander wants to borrow a promotion to confuse the enemy; on the other hand, the British American army commander is to open up the second battlefield to make a formation, and it is also attached to the Atlantic barrier. The fact that Normandy landing has proved that Atlantic barriers are not insurmountable.

At the fierce discussion in the conference room, Nimitz received the text from Wahua.

"The German fleet is separated? Leave only two battleships and two aircraft carriers?" After reading this text, the first flashing thought in Nimitz's brain is the German excavation, waiting for them to jump.
