When the US military was ignorant of the situation of the Japanese army, the Japanese army had a clear grasp of the movements of the US military.

In fact, Toyota Masao Takeshi has always known the importance of intelligence to a war. When he was in China, he repeatedly criticized Yamamoto Izuru and his naval generals. He believed that if Yamamoto Izuru attached enough importance to intelligence, there would be a crushing defeat in the Battle of Midway. This is also one of the reasons why Yamamoto Izuru hates Toyota Masao Takeshi very much.

So before the war began, Toyota Junyou cast a huge intelligence network in the waters near the Mariana Islands... This intelligence network consists of islands, submarines, 6-based reconnaissance aircraft and water reconnaissance aircraft. The main reconnaissance forces are submarines and water reconnaissance aircraft.

In the early morning of the day when the main fleet of the US military arrived in Guam and launched bombing, Toyota Junyou sent 43 reconnaissance aircraft to conduct reconnaissance at one time. In addition to the reports of submarines and the Japanese army in Guam, Toyota Junyou grasped the movements of each US fleet in detail.

Looking at the map in front of him, Toyota Masato nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that the Americans have really fallen into our trap. Most of their main fleets are concentrated in Guam. There is only one main fleet in Saipan and Tinian Island, which is very beneficial to our "Ar Battle"!"

"Great General!" Kuroku Ryunosuke said: "Then, let's target the Americans' main fleet and attack!

Toyota Masatake looked at it, then shook his head: "No, wait a little longer!"

"Wait?" Hearing this, Kusar Ryunosuke couldn't help but wonder.

"Yes!" said Toyota Juntake: "Although the Americans only have one fleet, they are strong. They have two light aircraft carriers, one main aircraft carrier, and four cruisers and 14 destroyers. In this way, their carrier-based aircraft will be nearly 200 times, and a considerable number of them are new fighter jets. It is not easy to break through their defense to achieve results!"

The fleet that Toyota Deputy said was the Fourth Detachment of the US Army, which consisted of the large aircraft carriers Essex, the light aircraft carriers Langrey and the Cowbons. The number of fighters was nearly 200 as Toyota Deputy estimated.

"So, what are we waiting for?" Kusaku Ryunosuke asked anxiously: "If Guam cannot hold on, then we will have no chance!"

Caolu's concerns make sense. Several major aircraft carrier groups of the US military surrounded Guam and bombarded them... Once this bait was swallowed by fish, it turned around and turned its attention to Saipan and Tinian Islands, and the Japanese army would have no chance.

"Don't worry!" said Toyota's deputy chief: "The Americans are not attacking so quickly! What I'm waiting for is the American escort aircraft carrier formation!"

"Escort aircraft carrier formation?!"

"Yes!" Toyota Masato replied: "I have studied several recent battles of the Americans. In order to improve the efficiency of bombing, they always bombed the islands with escort carriers after seizing air supremacy... I think they are exceptions to Saipan and Tinian Islands. These escort carriers do not have less air defense firepower, and are also more likely to be sunk. If they are targeted..."

"Oh!" Hearing this, Kuru Ryunosuke couldn't help but realize it.

But to be honest, this is not something that Kuroku Ryunosuke didn't think about, but this approach is not in line with the habits of the Japanese army... The Japanese army did not say that they picked soft persimmons on the battlefield, such as submarines disdain to attack merchant ships and transport ships, and specifically picked enemy aircraft carriers and warships. Picking soft persimmons is a good tactic in other armies. This is actually an attack on the enemy's weakness, but it is a cowardice in the eyes of the Japanese army.

Therefore, Kusato Ryunosuke had thought about attacking the escort aircraft carrier fleet, but this idea just flashed through his mind and soon felt that it was impossible. General Toyota would definitely choose to attack the main aircraft carrier fleet and severely damage the enemy in a battle.

But unexpectedly, Toyota Masatake chose to attack the escort aircraft carrier formation beyond his expectations. From this, it can be seen that Toyota's command style is different from Yamamoto and Koga.

At this time, a correspondent soldier ran into the command center quickly and reported: "Your Excellency General, the enemy's escort aircraft carrier formation is heading towards Saipan and Tinian Islands respectively!"

"Finally come!" Toyota couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this, and then asked, "Have you detected their escort formation?"

The communications soldier flipped through the documents and replied: "Genius General, the escort formation heading to Tinian Island is stronger, with one main aircraft carrier and sixteen destroyers! The escort formation heading to Saipan Island only has one light aircraft carrier and thirteen destroyers!"

"Yeah!" Toyota couldn't help but nodded: "Then don't have to think about it, just target the enemy fleet in the direction of Saipan! Order Saipan to be prepared and cooperate with the flight division to attack at any time!"

"Yes!" the communication soldier responded, but said hesitantly: "But, Your Excellency General..."

"But what?" Toyota couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, even a communications soldier dared to question his orders.

The communications soldier hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "The reward from the submarine reconnaissance, the main aircraft carrier of the escort formation in the direction of Tinian Island... Yes, it is the 'Shockhe'!"

"'Shokhe' number!" Hearing this, the blue veins on Toyota's deputy martial artist's forehead couldn't help but jump: "Bastard, it's the 'Shokhe' number!"

Although the "Shoka" was lost in Koga Feng's hands, it has nothing to do with Toyota's Deputy Takeru, he is the commander of the Japanese Joint Fleet after all, and the "Shoka" is a shame for the Japanese Joint Fleet, which can even be said to be a shame for the entire Japan, so Toyota's Deputy Takeru could not stay out of the matter.

"Grand General!" A few excitement flashed in Caolu Ryusuke's eyes: "This is our opportunity. It is said that the 'Shokawa' is in the hands of the Chinese. The crew and pilots are both Chinese. Although they have been trained, their quality is definitely not as good as that of the Americans..."

"Yeah!" Toyota Juntake nodded: "That is why the Americans will use light aircraft carriers to escort another fleet, but use a main aircraft carrier to escort this fleet!"

"On the other hand!" Kusou Ryunosuke continued: "We are very clear about the weaknesses of the 'Shorika'. If we successfully sink the 'Shorika', it will inevitably bring heavy blows to the enemy, and at the same time it will greatly encourage our army's morale!"

Toyota Juntake nodded again, he knew about these things without Kusato Ryunosuke.

Then Toyota Deputy Takeshi ordered: "Pass the order and attack the enemy in the direction of Tinian Island with all their might, and inform Lieutenant General Gao Pinbiao to cooperate with him!"
