Chapter 2699 Operation Storm 2

It seems like we've thought of everything and been prepared, doesn't it? "Sims said rather conceitedly after listening to Magifen's report.

"Yes, we have thought of everything and made preparations for it. This time, we should be able to win very simply." Ma Jifen said with certainty.

"Okay, it's time now, let's go!" Sims said, looking at the battleships lined up on Ford Island. As the order was issued, the entire fleet began to set sail from the main force berthing area nicknamed "Battleship Street". With the help of the guide ship and other auxiliary ships, they left the berths one by one, and then followed the channel in sequence. The ocean sails away. Because the space is too small, the huge fleet will be organized outside Pearl Harbor.

The three armored cruisers of the First Armored Cruiser Division and the two seaplane carriers of the First Seaplane Squadron have already set off as the vanguard fleet. Now, walking out of the port are the eight battleships of the First Battleship Squadron, taking the lead. In front is a destroyer squadron, they are like an emperor's guard of honor, and then, there is the Colorado-class battleship like a king, with the admiral's flag and various signal flags fluttering in the wind on the mast, 8 of the most elite battleships of the U.S. Navy are like The legendary Titans slowly sailed out of the port. They were tenacious and invincible. They would open a new page in history. They would carry out the first deep operation behind enemy lines in the history of the U.S. Navy.

Behind them is the Second Battleship Squadron. Although they also have the reputation of being super fearless, the traces of time and their somewhat backward design make them far behind their predecessors. Although they have been in service for a long time and some technical problems are also plaguing them, these warships can still be described as getting stronger with age.

Behind the battleship was the second seaplane carrier and a large number of destroyers. For several hours, a total of 11 battleships, 3 seaplane carriers and more than 50 destroyers sailed from the port. Yes, there were finally four supply ships accompanying the army. Such a massive voyage could only be compared to the American fleet's expedition to New Ireland.

"May God bless you all a safe journey!" The New York, which was already anchored in the port, sent a farewell signal.

"Let us meet off the coast of New Ireland." The battleship Delaware also sent a blessing. The Americans did a very good job of keeping secrets this time. Except for the warships participating in the battle, even other colleagues in the U.S. Navy did not know what the U.S. fleet was going to do this time! Most of them thought that these battleships would go to New Ireland Island to provide support to the army, but in fact, this time, Sims chose to attack the hinterland of the Japanese! Such a bold plan is beyond most people’s imagination! In a way, Sims's plan is crazy and decisive!

"The fleet has been organized. The vanguard fleet is about 40 nautical miles ahead of the main fleet. The main fleet will sail at a speed of 14 knots. In 4 hours, we will join the five aircraft carriers that have already set off at the rendezvous point.

"Ma Jifen said after roughly measuring the route on the chart with a slide rule.

"Very good. From now on, all unnecessary radio communications will be compressed. All necessary communications will use new frequency bands and codes. General Magiffin, thank you for your hard work. I hope you can send all valuable intelligence to me." Mus said.

"Okay, Commander, as you wish." Ma Jifen nodded and said. The separation of the fleet this time is also a good arrangement by the Americans. These five aircraft carriers are actually scattered. Two of them were previously performing the task of transporting aircraft to the New Ireland Island, the other two were performing training tasks, and the last one was The ship is nominally preparing to rush back to the United States to receive modifications. However, what is unexpected is that these warships finally came together and joined this unprecedented large-scale maneuver battle by the U.S. Navy!

"By the way, what are the Germans doing?" Sims suddenly asked.

"I don't know, but I probably won't be very happy." Ma Jifen said helplessly.

"Okay, send a signal to the German warships. If they have any requirements or ideas, they can contact us at any time. You can take charge of it yourself. Or you can tell me directly." Sims said.

"Okay." After saying that, Maggie Fen, who served as the fleet staff officer, began to be busy among a group of staff officers, while Sims used this time to take a good rest. A huge fleet has gone to sea, and the American sword is pointed directly at the heart of Japanese oil production!

And what are the Germans doing at this time? Redel is very free, because he is now a captain and is excluded from the command level, and the captain also handles general affairs on the battleship. As for other matters, Redel didn't know what to do except read the intelligence provided by the United States. The reason was simple. Although he was already a lieutenant general, he had never commanded a battle of this level. If it was a battleship squadron, For a naval battle of this level, Redel can still do it, but this time, a large number of battleships, aircraft carriers, armored cruisers and at least 50 destroyers are mixed together to form a huge fleet. Sorry, Redel can't do it either. After all, he has no practical experience. The situations that caused various problems can be applied not only to Americans, but also to many German generals.

At this time, Redl did not intend to make any suggestions to the Americans. He was just reading the U.S. Navy's campaign plan and related regulations. I have to admit that regardless of whether this battle can succeed, at least they can bring so many warships to deep local areas to carry out strikes. For this alone, Sims and his staff team are already very powerful! Hundreds of warships and ships of all kinds are combined to launch an expedition of thousands of kilometers deep in the enemy's defense. This is really not easy. There is a lot worth learning from Redel.

At this time, Logan, who has been incorporated into the aircraft carrier squadron, is considering fleet air defense and attack with his colleagues in the U.S. Navy. Unlike the German Navy, which requires aircraft carrier captains to have pilot experience, U.S. Navy aircraft carrier fleet commanders can be non-aviation personnel. For example, the old Fletcher now serves as the commander of the U.S. aircraft carrier detachment, and the armored cruiser detachment he originally commanded was handed over to others.
