Decision of srunns

For the public and most military fans, the famous military generals during the Second World War were nothing more than those of Eisenhower, nimiz, Montgomery, longmmel, and Zhukov. But one of them is little known. This guy is neither a marshal nor a marshal
The fifth star was a low profile and even refused to show off the limelight. However, his path exists among the stars of World War II. He is the "general in the general" sprunns (Raymond Ames Spruance) Admiral.
During the attack on Pearl Harbor, splunns was just a "bull", Halsey (William Frederick Halsey
) The Screen guard fleet commander, namely, the circle around the aircraft carrier cruiser and destroyer. After completing the attack on the machael islands, there was herpes zoster in halsi and it was essential to cultivate. He recommended it to nimiz.
Prunns takes over his command. As a result, sprunns got his first real battle command opportunity in his life. It was also a crucial battle for the pacific war and even the whole world war ii-Midway Island.
Before the Battle of Midway, the Americans had intercepted and cracked the Japanese naval code, taking the lead in intelligence. Based on these intelligence, I got a general idea of the "Midway Island" plan of Yamamoto fifty-six. Therefore, two fleets were dispatched, with a total of three aircraft carriers, to ambush the japanese joint fleet on the flank. Sprures directed two of them, namely the 16th-character hybrid fleet in Halsey.

Although the US military gains initiative in intelligence, other aspects, such as the quality of pilots and staff, equipment performance, and the scale of the fleet, are under absolute pressure. The reason why Americans can finish
In addition to intelligence advantages, the intelligence of the commander plays a decisive role. During the entire battle of Midway Island, SPRS made three crucial decisions that laid the foundation for the victory of the US military.
In the early morning of the Battle of Midway (October 11, June 4, 1942), the Japanese fleet appeared as expected. However, at that time, the US military was still far away and was approaching the enemy at full speed. At this time, the Japanese shipper has taken off, and went to Midway Island to execute a fight task to prepare for subsequent login. The first important command issued by sprunns was to require the aircraft (Enterprise and Bumblebee) at, excluding the York City, the latter was directed by General frecher and then sent an attack machine group, but only half of them) to take off and attack the Japanese fleet. However, due to the delay in the operations of the adviser, some attack groups started after.

This command is quite risky. At this time, because the distance from the Japanese fleet is far away, the plane is very likely to fly. But sprures decided not to wait. The reason is that the US military fleet has been discovered by the Japanese army and must be released as soon as possible.
Attack. At the same time, if we take off at this time, it is very likely that the carrier aircraft that attacked Midway Island will return to the aircraft carrier. This is the most chaotic moment when it will arrive over the Japanese ship. Later facts confirmed his idea.
However, the entire attack can be described as chaotic. Shortly after each cluster took off, the bomber lost contact with the torpedo attack host. Collaborative attacks are ruined, and everyone can only fight for each other. Now let's look at the Japanese. After being harassed by the attacking machine of Midway Island Marine Corps, the commander Nan yunzhong yihai
Lieutenant General's thinking is in chaos. First, the attack machine group of Midway Island played a report, saying that it was necessary to launch another air attack to clear the obstacles for login. So the South cloud decided to let those on the deck stand by and prepare to cope with possible US warships.
The team's planes exchanged armor bombs and torpedo bombs, replaced them with high-explosive bombs, and prepared for the second attack on Midway Island. Soon, a reconnaissance plane reported that it had discovered the US fleet, and Southern cloud immediately decided to stop changing bombs and ordered the reconnaissance plane to find out the ship. After 1
Later, the reconnaissance plane reported that there were no aircraft carriers. With ease, South cloud prepares for the second fight against Midway Island. After about 20 minutes, the damn reconnaissance plane pilot reported that there was an aircraft carrier behind the building. Good
Now, the US aircraft carrier is close at hand, and nanyun has to re-order the replacement of torpedo and armor-piercing shells to fight against the US military fleet. In this "torpedo-for-bomb and bomb-for-Torpedo competition", these jingling explosives come
Not enough to be sent to the ammunition library, and the heap is everywhere, laying the groundwork for the final huge loss.

At this time, the three squadrons of the US-based torpedo attack server launched near-suicide attacks against the Japanese ship without the protection of fighter planes. Most torpedo hosts were shot down, and none of them hit the target.
The first wave of Midway Island attack machine groups returned when the southern cloud fleet was in a fight with the referer. Therefore, the southern cloud must decide to first dispatch the second wave of attack groups on the deck, in the absence of fighter protection (most
A fighter is forming a group with the U.S. re ). Instead, they can use an inappropriate bomb to attack their opponent, accept all the planes, replace them with appropriate ammunition, and launch a coordinated attack. South cloud chose the latter.

All planes are successfully recovered, refuel and loaded, arranged on the flight deck to prepare for takeoff. The group of powerful U.S. Referer hosts was also defeated. Just a few minutes later, the most powerful hit group in the Pacific Ocean would be able to start,
Leave Americans with a title. Just as the first fighter plane flew off the deck of the "Chicheng", the diving bombers from the "Enterprise" and "York City" began to dive. In less than ten minutes, the American bombers completed the projection.
Bullet. At the same time, the "Chicheng", "Jiahe", and "canglong" exploded flowers.
In the remaining time of this day, the remaining "Flying Dragon" launched a counterattack, two times hurt the "York City. And she was also sunk. So far, the core force of the Japanese attacking forces has been thoroughly destroyed, and the victory has begun to tilt toward the Americans. However, the Japanese did not completely fail, the main force of the fleet was still there, and there was a capital to fight back. As a result, the outcome of the war depends on the next decision of spruns.
After dark, Yamamoto fifty-six and his staff are trying their best to find a life-saving straw and try to recover the defeat. They decided to go east overnight, hoping to fight with the Americans in the dark. The plane cannot fly in the dark night, not to mention the attack. He only suffered losses from aircraft carriers, including the main battleship and heavy cruisers, including the "Dahe. In contrast, Americans only have several cruisers and destroyer in the district, as well as aircraft carriers that are useless at night.

Fortunately, Yamamoto's opponent is sprures. He was wise to give an order to take a course and sail east. This means that it will be far away from the Japanese fleet. The Adviser strongly opposed the desire to maintain contact with the enemy so that
Launch an attack on the enemy ship in the early morning of the second day. Sprunns is not motivated to stick to his own commands. Later, the Savo Bay naval battle on the island of gwal canana and the eye-catching taca longga naval battle showed that the night was the Japanese naval force.
Americans are not rivals at all.

In this way, Yamoto rushed empty. After midnight, I had to turn around and withdraw, so as not to become the target of air strikes after dawn. Sprures also moved back to the west after midnight, so that they could be protected by air power after dawn.
Island. Most of the time since then, the US military searched for the Japanese fleet and launched an attack before the dark, but the results were not good. In the dark, sruens took the risk of ordering the two aircraft carriers to open the camera to reclaim his plane.
Light to help the plane land.

Finally, Yamoto had to order a retreat, but he was still remembering to kill a horse-return gun. He wants to lure srunns into the 700 nautical miles of the island, so that he can be protected by land-based airlines on the island.
He gave the Americans a lesson. It's just that sprunns made the third important decision-he withdrew. The reason is that he needs supplies. In fact, he just wanted to accept it. Since the Japanese retreated, his flight
It seems that the hit rate of small targets on the aircraft carrier's deck is surprisingly low, and it is not wise to be entangled.
In this way, sruens used three wise decisions to defeat the powerful Japanese fleet.

After Midway Island, sprunns returned to the shore, serving as the Chief of Staff of nimiz. In fact, midway is a temporary task of srunes. Since then, sprunns has been serving as the wisdom tank of the Pacific Fleet, until nimiz began a counterattack.

After the battle of gwal canana at the end of 42, the attack momentum of the Japanese Army and the naval forces was completely curbed. As a result, Americans began a counterattack. South Pacific is a series of large and small islands, and the main battle is the army. While...
The Pacific Ocean is a rare Island, and the protagonist is naturally a navy. After repeated consideration, nimiz decided to appoint sruns as the commander of the Central Pacific Fleet. Srlunns once again joined the Pacific battlefield.
After the seizure of Gilbert and the Marshall Islands, SPRS were ordered to attack Mariana, resulting in a naval battle in the Philippines.
At this point, the hands of sprunns are no longer stretched. He holds the powerful fifth ship, including 15 aircraft carriers and 7 warships. To prevent Americans, the Japanese army dispatched nine aircraft carriers and a fleet of five war ships, under the command of Lieutenant General zezhi.

With its powerful sea and air force, the US military quickly landed on Saipan Island. Then the US submarine discovered the fleet of Mr. kozez. He decided to postpone his login to Guam and concentrate on all warships to attack the enemy's reinforcements fleet. At this time
A controversial decision. Prior to his command to precisely grasp the location of the Japanese fleet, the special mixed fleet should not stay away from Saipan. According to the existing contact report, splunns worried that the Japanese army would use the tactics of hitting the West
The main force of the army was introduced to crack down on landing troops.

But in fact xiaoze did not. He concentrated the ship together and launched an attack on the US military. Because of the "shuttle bombing" (that is, taking off from the aircraft carrier, after attacking the enemy ship, landing on the island, loading and loading the bombs, and then taking off
Attack the enemy ship and return to the aircraft carrier. This can greatly extend the attack distance of the carrier-based aircraft), and the Japanese army launched an attack beyond the range of the US military-based aircraft. Despite this advantage, the pilots of Japanese planes lack experience, and the aircraft performance
Behind the scenes. In addition, the US military used a new high-gun with a radio fuze. As a result, it was shot down by more than 400 hosts, which is known as the "Mariana turkey hunt ".
At last, the Japanese fleet was found to have eliminated splunns's doubts. Then, the 58th-character hybrid fleet commanded by Mitchell was ordered to attack the enemy ship. However, the Japanese army retreated due to heavy losses. Mitchell failed to give it a decisive blow. Afterwards, the US military attacked Guam with peace of mind. The old rival of Midway Island, Nan yunzhong, defeated himself.
After the campaign was over, many people expressed dissatisfaction with splunns's Prudence. But in any case, the strategic goal of the Americans has been achieved, taking over the two important forward bases of Guam and seban. This laid the foundation for the next attack. At the same time, despite the absence of a Japanese joint fleet, the Japanese aircraft carrier became a decoration because of the destruction of the Japanese naval forces in the air.

At the end of 44, at the encouragement of General McArthur, Roosevelt agreed to launch an attack in the Philippines to achieve the strategic goal of the south line attack. Of course, it is also to let McArthur sit on a warship, rather than a passenger wheel, to realize the vow of "I will come back. The Pacific Fleet was commissioned to support the army's landing on the island of Leicester. As a result, the Battle of Leicester Bay began.
Obviously, the Japanese joint fleet is no longer able to confront the US military. The 3rd Fleet, commanded by halsi, has 35 aircraft carriers and 12 warships. The Japanese only have four pitiful aircraft carriers and nine war ships, and there are only 108 aircraft in the district. To be honest, it's hard to fight such battles. That's the battle to win, but Halsey was almost defeated.

To clarify the ins and outs, you must first explain the lait Bay. Leicester Bay is a big island in the middle of the Philippines, and its east side is a large bay. The bay has two entrances to the south and east, and the entrance to the south is connected to the high-speed strait, while the East
To the Philippines. If the Japanese want to attack the login troops in Wright Bay, they can attack from three directions. South side, you can enter the Leicester bay from the high strait. There are two roads in the north, one from the South China Sea
Crossing the xibuyan sea, crossing the Strait of San benadino, and entering the Leicester bay from the east entrance. The other route is directly south from the sea of the Philippines and from the east entrance to Leicester Bay. As a result, the Japanese divided the ship into three parts:
Attack. In fact, the three fleets have different roles. The fleet in Hainan, Philippines, is directed by xiaoze, including all aircraft carriers and two non-horse and non-horse war aircraft carriers. It serves as a bait to lure acute sub-carriers.
Halsi of left Leicester Bay. The attacking troops at high speed in the south are under the command of xicun xiangzhi and Zhimo Qingying. The real main attack is the ship that passes through xibuyanhai, which is under the command of Lieutenant General Li tianjian, including the main force of the two super war ships Dahe and wuzang.

First, the west village in the south was found before entering the high-speed Strait. The first thing to greet him was a fish-ray boat, a destroyer, and finally a battleship and a cruiser. With the help of radar
Moo's fleet was blown up. There is only one destroyer behind the temple. If the situation is not good, you can turn around and escape. The big bait of the little ze fleet is trying its best to attract the attention of Halsey in the north, but it has never been
Found.

The chestnut fleet was discovered shortly after its departure, and its flagship ship was also sunk by the submarine. While the main fleet was moving forward in the xibuyan sea with fear, the US military arrived. The "Wu" was sunk in the second and second categories.
And wounded ships like Dahe and changmen. Li Tian couldn't stand it, and ordered a retreat. In the evening, the base camp calls all attacks. As a result, Li Tian turned around again and rushed to Leicester Bay.

After attacking the chestnut fleet, halsi thought it could no longer constitute a threat (pilots often exaggerate the results when returning ). Now, I finally found the Little Ze fleet, and halsi finally had the opportunity to complete the deployment of sprures in Philippines.
What law Binhai failed to do. He pursued the Zeek fleet north. But he took away all the warships, including the 34th-character hybrid fleet originally intended to guard the San benadino Strait (including six new warships ).
As a result, the trouble arises. The group of old-fashioned war ships that cover the beach of the litte Bay are playing hard with the Japanese at the High-strait exit. While halsi pursued xiaoze with his entire 38th-character fleet. No one defended the San benadino channel. Later in the middle of the night, Li Tian passed through the San benadino strait "risking the entire army.

By the morning of the next day, the Li Tian fleet had arrived near the east entrance of the litte Bay. The stunned Japanese suddenly found a group of "strange" American fleets. No towering mast, no cannon ship,
Only some destroyer-protected aircraft carriers are supported. It is strange that the enemy ship is an enemy ship after all. Maybe it's so excited. Like a dog, Li Tian kept the ship chasing targets. Few mclasky naval forces directing this group of escort aircraft carriers
He tried to block the chestnut fleet with his extraordinary command. He ordered the Destroyer to fight back and released all planes to attack the Japanese ship. Although the destroyer was quickly sunk and wounded, the released torpedo was shaken
The entire team of Tian earned time. At last, Li Tian had to withdraw to the north to gather his warships. The lucky US aircraft carriers were able to escape. After finishing the formation, Li Tian went south again and planned to attack litwan.
Ships and beaches that are uninstalling troops and supplies. At this time, there is no force to block him. But at the gate of litte Bay, Li Tian turned his mind and ordered the retreat. On the one hand, we are afraid of the owner of the halsi fleet.
Li, on the other hand, he did not know that halsi had been hooked up and was attracted to the far north by xiaoze (xiaoze sent a telegram, but not received by Li Tian ). In this way, Li daitao sang a song to Li Tian.
The Japanese lost most warships in vain, while halsi escaped the military court afterwards.

In this battle, it seems that there was no such thing as splunns. However, a small bonus is enough to show his wisdom. Just as Halsey was chasing the Little Ze fleet overnight, nimiz sent the famous telegram:"
Where is the 34th special hybrid ship? All over the world want to know. But the interpreter did not remove it. The result angered Halsey ). At this time, nimiz is working on
Looking at the chart sprunns, he seemed to say to himself: "If it was me, I would put the fleet here ." He pointed his finger at the sound of San benadino.

In fact, the best choice for Halsey was what sruens said. Because of the narrow strait of San benadino, the chestnut fleet must be lined up all the way to pass. If halsi excludes the battleship
The Channel port can be used to implement the so-called "T-word tactics" on Li Tian ". He can use the crossfire of all warships to sink the enemy ship one by one. It's like a high-speed Strait on the south side. This is what all the conductor of the battleship
. In any case, halsi should leave the fleet near the litte bay until the enemy's threats are eliminated. The fleet of xiaoze is far less important than that of McArthur. In this regard, srunns is even more aware.
Smart.

Finally, there is also a small story that shows the personality of spruns. In 45 years, the Pacific Fleet attacked Okinawa.
The Japanese sent the last battleship Dahe. Along with several destroyer lines, only one-way fuel was installed to prepare for a magical duel. The ship was first discovered by Americans. When this broken ship is connected
When he was close to Okinawa, mitchell sent a telegram to srunes: "Do you want to attack me ?" Mitchell indicates whether to use a warship or an airplane. This is because sprures was born as the conductor of the battleship, and meters
Cher was born as the aircraft carrier commander. This battle is likely to be the last showdown between the battleship, and perhaps it should be the last thing that will have been enjoyed by the battleship such as srusns. He still seems rational, and calls back:"
You attack ". Perhaps sprures felt that there was no need to take the lives of the officers and soldiers of the battleship into another risk. After all, the main guns of the "Dahe" account were bigger than the Americans. In contrast, the attack losses on the carrier-based aircraft are much smaller. Maybe
He felt that the historical trend could not be reversed and there was no need to fight in an old way. In short, the aircraft on the Japanese ship soon sent the Japanese navy's most proud "" to the bottom of the sea.

Throughout the entire Pacific War, srunns participated in the vast majority of key naval battles and won, whether the most difficult time or the most powerful time. Luck may be a factor (especially in the middle)
Island), but more importantly, his wise decisions. Many people think that srunns is too cautious. But in fact, the command style of splunns is really worth learning. He is not always cautious. On Midway Island,
He seized the transient planes and sent all the aircraft on the ship to launch a desperate attack against the enemy that was absolutely dominant. In contrast, nanyun Zhongyi is indecisive at critical moments. Whereas
He was also accused of sending only half of the planes.

While at the same time being at a dominant position, sprunns is very rational. On Midway Island, splunns withdrew overnight, saving hard-won results. His task is to protect Midway Island and there is no need to compete with the enemy at night
Human engagement. More importantly, the aircraft carriers in his hands are the only force that the US military can confront the Japanese army in the Pacific. Such precious resources cannot be used for adventure. At this time, the Japanese army no longer has an aircraft carrier.
The enemy's artillery is at war with it beyond the range of its enemy's artillery. If the objective of the Japanese is to log on to Midway Island, the core of their goal is to log on to the fleet rather than the combat fleet. They want to destroy this company.
Figure, just break them into the fleet. This is the key to the battle. The air forces in the hands of srunns can freely choose to fight against the target. Once the Japanese army attempted to log on, he could be far away from the opponent's firepower.
Attackers can directly attack the login formation to defeat the enemy's attempt. By looking at this point, the mountain surface ships do not matter unless they directly threaten the RS aircraft carrier. As long as you keep the distance between them
This risk can be eliminated. This is also the reason why sprunns would rather give up its attack on the mountain fleet than withdraw overnight.He grasped the key to the problem..

In the sea of the Philippines, splunns did miss the opportunity to annihilate the Japanese fleet. However, this is all an afterthought. When the enemy is in unknown circumstances, caution is often the best choice. You only need to weigh the gains and losses.
However. At this time, the US military is competitive, and from a strategic point of view, landing in the Mariana Islands is the most important goal. In contrast, destroying an enemy's naval fleet is a tactical goal. At this time, the Japanese naval ship day
The trend is weak, making it difficult to pose a direct threat to the US military. On the contrary, after occupying a forward base such as Guam and Saipan, the kill war organized by the submarine and air forces can directly result in Japan's surrender. Therefore, even if
The Japanese Joint Fleet will not have a fundamental impact on the overall strategy. On the contrary, if the login force encounters a loss, it will not only affect the short-term amphibious combat capability, but also change the overall strategy.
Pay more. Srlunns once again seized the key to the problem.

As a comparison, the southern cloud of Midway Island is constrained by how to launch attacks. Halsey and Li Tian in litte Bay forget their fundamental tasks. He resolved all kinds of crises with his determination and prudence, and called it
General in general ". After halsi was in the lait Bay, he was dejected when he met splunns: "You should be playing rete bay. I should be playing the Philippines ." In fact, from a strategic perspective,
Both battles should be fought by sprunns. Only by grasping the true core strategic objectives and using the power in hand can we ensure constant victory.
