During dinner, Tan Renhao raised several issues he had considered. He did not explain it in too detailed. Hao Dongjue is not a fool, and he can understand as long as he mentions it.

In other words, Liao Hanxiang did not adjust his troop deployment as planned

That can't be said, and we have nothing to blame. Tan Renhao put down his chopsticks.

Because he is your father-in-law Hao Dongjue said that and picked up the wine glass.

I didn't say that, and I would not talk about this in the army. Tan Renhao glanced at his partner. As the commander of the theater, General Liao Hanxiang had the obligation and responsibility to deploy according to the needs of the theater and the actual situation of the theater. Our purpose this time was to kill the Fifth Fleet, rather than really attacking the Hawaiian Islands, so General Liao Hanxiang had no obligation to make a false act.

But the problem is obvious. If the US military understands our military deployment, then they will definitely doubt our series of actions in the Central Pacific. Hao Dongjue also became serious. neither Spruins nor Nimitz are fools. As long as they understand our intentions, the Fifth Fleet may not come out to fight us.

This is exactly what I am worried about. Tan Renhao sighed. If the American fleet does not take the initiative to fight, we will have to force them to come out and fight.

Hao Dongjue nodded. Do you have any ideas?

Tan Renhao didn't rush to speak. He was not sure how to fight or where to fight now, so he didn't rush to make a judgment.

Since we think so, we will turn it into practical actions.

Let's talk about it tomorrow. Tan Renhao took a look at Hao Dongjue, who was a little excited.

You are tired too, so you have a good night's sleep at night and we'll discuss it in detail tomorrow.

It's okay. I'm still energetic, why not.

Let's go to the theater command now.

Tan Renhao smiled and shook his head. He wanted to get some time, so he did not refuse Hao Dongjue's proposal. After the two settled the bill with the boss, they immediately drove back to the Navy Command. Liao Hanxiang had already left the headquarters and the staff officer on duty met Tan Renhao. He immediately brought them to the combat center and quickly sent the information about the war zone proposed by Tan Renhao over.

The Fifth Fleet will definitely leave Pearl Harbor in the near future. Tan Renhao gave the submarine reconnaissance report to Hao Dongjue. The main problem now is the repair of the fleet aircraft carrier. Judging from the information we have obtained now, the restoration of the Franklin must be more troublesome. Now three small aircraft carriers are rushing to Pearl Harbor. It is obvious that the Franklin may not have been repaired yet, and it will be difficult to repair in the near future.

However, at most, this aircraft carrier can be repaired by the end of the month, and one month is sufficient.

Tan Renhao nodded. Then, let's judge that the Fifth Fleet left Pearl Harbor in the late quarter

Wouldn't Spruins lead three small aircraft carriers first, Hao Dongjue looked at Tan Renhao.

If that is the case, then we should be happy. Did Tan Renhao also look at his brother-in-law? If Spruins dared to disperse the only little force in his hands, he would make a serious mistake. Therefore, it is unlikely that he would let three small aircraft carriers go to fight alone. In addition, these three small aircraft carriers have been outside for two months of combat operations and need to go back to the port for major repairs, so this time it is very likely to go back to repair and then go out with the Franklin.

Hao Dongjue nodded. Then what are your thoughts

Take the initiative to attack. Tan Renhao walked to the sand table. We have now controlled Midway Island. Although Wake Island fell into the hands of the US military, as long as we leave Midway Island and take another step forward, the US military will have to defend the Hawaiian Islands with all our might. At that time, the Fifth Fleet will naturally stay.

Hao Dongjue took the initiative to attack the Hawaiian Islands and frowned. Then we have to kill the Fifth Fleet first.

It should be that we should attack before the Fifth Fleet recovered its combat effectiveness and forced the Fifth Fleet to stay. Tan Renhao laughed. Our purpose was to annihilate the Fifth Fleet. The attack on the Hawaiian Islands was to allow the Fifth Fleet to stay, rather than to attack the Hawaiian Islands by annihilation of the Fifth Fleet. Of course, if the battle goes well, we will definitely attack the Hawaiian Islands, which is just a different order.

Hao Dongjue also thought. If he wanted to attack the Hawaiian Islands, he had to capture Wake Island first, at least it would make the US military on Wake Island completely desperate, and the most important thing was to destroy the airport on Wake Island. This was all a successor mission, and the most important thing in front of him was to kill the Fifth Fleet and fight Spruins. Tan Renhao's meaning was very clear that by actively attacking the Hawaiian Islands, Spruins had to come and fight.

Then, we have to choose a target first. Tan Renhao gave another document to Hao Dongjue, which is the defense deployment of the US military in the Hawaiian Islands. Maybe there are some changes now, but there should be no differences in the majority.

Hao Dongjue immediately opened the document. The core of the US defense in the Hawaiian Islands is Oahu, which is the island where Pearl Harbor is located. In addition, ground troops were deployed on several large islands such as Hawaii, Maui, Kauai, etc., and regular airports were built. Especially on Hawaii Island, there were three regular airports of the US military and a large number of combat aircraft were stationed. Seventy percent of the heavy bombers deployed by the US military in the Hawaii Islands were on this island. These islands are concentrated in the eastern part of the Hawaii Islands, which is also the most tightly defended by the US military. Of course, there is no need to consider sneak attacking these islands. More than 3,000 combat aircraft deployed by the US military on more than a dozen regular airports of these islands are enough to completely kill the First Special Mixed Fleet.

I think the only place to start is on the west side of the archipelago.

Tan Renhao nodded with a smile, isn't this meant to be said in vain?

You chose that island to start Hao Dongjue raised his head.

Lisangski Island is closest to Midway Island, but the island is not worth much, and it cannot even be built on it. The US military only deployed a few hundred people here, and there is a seaplane base. Tan Renhao used a wooden stick to click on the island on the sand table, and then it was Laisang Island. This is the closest island to Midway Island with an airport, although the airport is not large.

But the US military has deployed dozens of long-range reconnaissance aircraft and a batch of fighter aircraft here. Perhaps, tactical bombers have been deployed here now.

Then we will bomb the island.

Tan Renhao laughed. Dongjue. Now we have to think about this offensive operation according to the arrangements of the attack on the Hawaiian Islands. In this way, the US military will think that our real purpose is to attack the Hawaiian Islands. Instead of looking for the Fifth Fleet to fight to the decisive battle.

Hao Dongjue scratched his scalp with a smile, and waited for Tan Renhao to continue talking.

There are about 1 ooooo American troops on Laisan Island, and a complete defense system has been built. Perhaps the local defense forces have increased a lot now. Attack this island. We cannot use HNA's shore-based bombers, and the 6th team can only get the support of the fleet. Even if we invest in an offensive force that is twice the defense forces of the US military, it will probably take a long time to capture this island.

It is certainly that the U.S. military has several months to strengthen the defense of Laisan Island, and it is the most ideal springboard for our offense, and they will not have any slackness.

The problem is here. If we attack Laisan Island, it will take a lot of time. If we really attack the Hawaiian Islands, we must push the front line to Oahu as soon as possible. No islands that can be fought in the middle will be fought. Laisan Island definitely belongs to this type of island.

Hao Dongjue's eyes fell on the sand table. You mean, let's attack Gardner Island

The US military forces on Gardner Island should not be very strong. Moreover, the US military should defend against Laisan Island. There is an airport here. The US military has also deployed a batch of aircraft. Tan Renhao put down his wooden sticks. If we really want to send troops to attack the Hawaiian Islands, we should skip Laisan Island and board 6 directly on Gardner Island.

But the problem is, if we directly bomb Gardner Island

We first bombed the land of Laisan Island, not Gardner Island. Tan Renhao laughed. If we really wanted to attack Gardner Island, we had to destroy the US military airport on Laisan Island, so that the fleet of landing 6 and the transport fleet could pass smoothly, and then bomb Gardner Island to complete the firepower preparations before landing 6.

Then we have to place the fleet in the waters east of Midway Island, rely on the cover of docking fighter jets to bomb Laisan Island with all our might, destroy the airport on Laisan Island, and then the fleet goes forward to the waters near Gardner Island, and take advantage of the opportunity of the US military adjusting its defense to blow up the airport on Gardner Island. Hao Dongjue also thought so. If the transport fleet and the boarding fleet were deployed to the waters of Midway Island at the same time, then the Americans would have to believe that we would attack the Hawaiian Islands.

Yes, we will fight this battle completely in a regular battle of 6.

Tan Renhao pulled a chair over and sat down. We first went to blow up the US military airport on Laisan Island, and then prepared firepower for Gardner Island before landing 6. During this period, the landing 6 fleet and the transport fleet gathered to Midway Island and showed off the battle of landing 6. There was only one problem with this.

We must complete this series of actions before the Fifth Fleet leaves Pearl Harbor. At that time, the Fifth Fleet will definitely come to fight us, rather than going south to the Coral Sea to hit Huang Xiaotian's butt

Hearing Hao Dongjue's words, Tan Renhao immediately laughed. Then we really have to think about Huang Xiaotian's butt. When will the fleet be released?

After completing the supply, you can go on the road. I will arrange the supply work myself tomorrow. Hao Dongjue also laughed. Spruins wanted to hit Huang Xiaotian's butt, so we will hit him and see who will get the first.

Maybe Spruins will come to slap us this time to avenge Halsey.

In this case, it would be great. Hao Dongjue rubbed his hands, so I would go back to the fleet first, recruit all the officers, and get a rough combat plan first, and arrange the supply work immediately so that the fleet can be successfully launched.

Okay, I'll contact General Liao Hanxiang. If there is news, I'll go back to the fleet.

Is there something important

Hearing Liao Hanxiang's voice, Tan Renhao and Hao Dongjue immediately looked at the door.

When I came back, I heard that you were in the war room. How is it? Are you planning? Liao Hanxiang walked over with a smile. He looked at Hao Dongjue specifically. He was too busy in the evening and didn't go to the port to pick you up. The situation of the fleet is fine.

They are all very good, everyone is waiting for this decisive battle. Hao Dongjue laughed.

At this time, Liao Hanxiang's adjutant brought the lunch box in. It seemed that Liao Hanxiang had not had dinner yet.

You guys have dinner, Liao Hanxiang glanced at the two of them, and then started eating without hesitation. I will tell you what plans do you have to tell me first, and I will fill my stomach by the way.

While Liao Hanxiang was having dinner, Tan Renhao expressed their thoughts.

The plan is good, and we are planning a battle operation for 6. Liao Hanxiang gave the empty lunch box to the adjutant and then took out the cigarette.

Tan Renhao asked immediately after he landed on Wake Island.

Yes, if you can defeat the Fifth Fleet successfully, we will immediately land on the combat operation of 6Wick Island. Liao Hanxiang said as he walked over. At that time, the First Special Fleet will come to support us immediately. As for the operation to attack the Hawaiian Islands, we have no plans yet.

Then we can send the troops on the 6th Wake Island to Midway Island first. Hao Dongjue immediately expressed the opinions he had only thought of. Although this was a little troublesome, it could act as a deceptive effect. When we killed the Fifth Fleet, the 6th Fleet could immediately go south to attack the 6th Island.

There is also a fleet that transports combat materials. Tan Renhao added.

Liao Hanxiang nodded while thinking. I will consider this suggestion, but it is too late today. Let's discuss it in detail tomorrow. How about it
Chapter completed!
