Demon Beast Forbidden Area
Trial
The key to the success or failure of the Japanese Army's Jie-1 plan was to lure the 38th Task Force away from Wright Bay. The task was carried out by Lieutenant General Ozawa's mobile fleet, which was once the backbone of the Combined Fleet. Now, there were only four aircraft carriers, two aircraft battleships, three cruisers, and eight destroyer, carrying a total of 116 aircraft carriers. Now that the strength of Ozawa's fleet had plummeted, they could only become bait to lure the enemy.
On October 20th, Ozawa's fleet entered the Pacific Ocean. Along the way, there was no reconnaissance by American aircraft or harassment by American submarines. Ozawa's fleet frequently sent telegrams in an attempt to expose their whereabouts. However, the communication equipment of the flagship Ruihe aircraft carrier was not discovered in time. Not only did it not expose themselves, but it also brought great trouble to future operations.
Another thing that bothered Ozawa was that the quality of the pilots of the carrier aircraft was too poor. Due to time constraints and lack of fuel, the training of pilots had been simplified to the minimum. The pilots only learned how to take off, land, and fire before joining the combat troops. Every day, Ozawa's fleet sent out nine planes to scout and search, and at least three of them were lost due to operational errors and could not return.
On October 24th, after receiving a report from the Japanese shore-based aviation in the philippines, Ozawa knew the location of the US fleet, so he sent 76 planes to attack. In the air battle, 40 were shot down, and the remaining 30 flew to the philippines to land. Only three planes could fly back to the mothership.
Ozawa originally thought that the attack of 76 planes would definitely attract the US military, but he failed to do so and had to take new measures to expose himself. At 16:00, an American reconnaissance plane finally arrived above the Japanese fleet.
However, the US military believed that the current combat effectiveness of the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet was not as good as before. It was no longer the greatest threat to the US military. Instead, it was likely to be just a bait. Therefore, a portion of the troops were assigned to guard the San Bernardino Strait, causing the Japanese to completely fail in the Battle of Jie-1.
Combined, the losses suffered by Japan and the United States in the Wright Gulf naval battle were:
On the Japanese side, they lost four aircraft carriers, three battleships, six heavy cruisers, four light cruisers, eleven destroyer, six submarines, about 400 aircraft, and more than 7,400 casualties.
On the American side, they lost one light aircraft carrier, two escort aircraft carriers, two cruisers, and three destroyer, more than 100 aircraft, and more than 2,800 casualties.
After the Battle of Wright Gulf, the Japanese Navy suffered heavy losses and never recovered. The situation in the Pacific Ocean was reversed.
The reason why the Japanese navy failed in the Pacific battlefield:
1. Ignoring the strength of the United States, attack Pearl Harbor and force the United States to declare war on Japan.
Secondly, the training of warships, fighter planes, and personnel was far slower than the United States.
Third, the Japanese submarines were ineffective. 63% of the Japanese warships were buried in the US submarines, but the Japanese submarines were old and could only be used to transport supplies.
Fourth, Japan's radar development was slower than the United States. The radar was equivalent to the eyes of the battle. The United States could accurately locate the position of the Japanese army, while the Japanese army was like a blind man touching an elephant. They could only let the United States take a beating.
After such a tragic battle, the Japanese alliance fleet was on the road to defeat. They were completely unable to pull themselves together.

His heavy footsteps passed through the long and dark corridor. The more he walked, the heavier his footsteps became. Josh knew that he had made a big mistake this time. He wasn't a pilot, but he actually piloted a military aircraft to battle without permission. Moreover, he even brought a woman to fool around in the plane. He was simply disrespectful of military discipline. This time, even Major General York, the commander of the base, wanted to meet him. He wondered what kind of punishment he would receive. Would he be court-martialed? Would he be locked up?
His footsteps became heavier and heavier, and Josh frowned. When he reached the commander's office, he felt his heart sink. He did not dare to push the door open. He pushed the door hard and felt that the door was very heavy. A white light shot out from the crack of the door, making people feel that it was dazzling.
He looked into the door and saw three people inside. One of them was Major General York. Josh didn't know the other two, but he saw that they were lieutenant generals. Their positions were higher than Major General York's. What was going on? Could it be that Josh's crime this time was unforgivable? Even a high-ranking official like the lieutenant general had to come and meet him…?
Josh saluted the three of them. Navy Nurse Josh Anderson requests an audience!”
"Please come in! Sergeant Anderson!"
Josh walked in and could not help but feel nervous. His entire body was covered in cold sweat. Facing a high-ranking official made him feel afraid, and his body actually trembled unconsciously.
"Please sit! Sergeant Anderson!" Major General York said.
There was a wooden chair a meter in front of the three of them. Josh walked over and sat on the chair. He couldn't help but clutch his knees tightly. His entire body became stiff and he couldn't breathe at all.
The three people in front of him didn't say a word. They just stared at Josh with their eyes wide open. They were like fiends, as if they could swallow Josh at any moment. Josh didn't dare to look them in the eye. The four of them sat quietly for half an hour. Josh felt strange. They called him here but didn't ask him anything. What were they planning?
Suddenly, one of them said,""At the beginning of the day, the sky is dark. My name has been in vain before, and I'm happy to meet you again.”(This was a Japanese phrase that meant: Nice to meet you. My name is Adolf Garland. It's a pleasure to meet you.
Josh was shocked when he heard the man speak Japanese. Here was a brief introduction to Josh's background. Josh was not a pure American. He was a mixed-blood. His father was a French-American, his mother was a Chinese-Japanese mixed-blood, his maternal grandfather was Chinese, and his maternal grandmother was Japanese. She was brought up by her maternal grandfather and grandmother, so she could speak both Chinese and Japanese.
Josh felt strange. Why was that person speaking Japanese to him?
"I'm happy." (I'm happy too.)
"A simple introduction to the past, using Japanese,?”Can you introduce yourself briefly? Can I use Japanese?)
"My name is not good, my family is simple, my father is dead, my mother, my grandfather, my grandmother, and my servant are separated. Servant's interest is in repairing machinery." (My name is Josh Anderson. My family is very simple. My father has passed away, leaving only my mother, grandfather, grandmother, and me.)
"I've learned Japanese before.”(Your Japanese is very good, very good!)
The other one also spoke to Josh."Hello, my name is Douglas Green. Do you understand what I'm saying?”(Chinese)
Josh was surprised. This time it was in Chinese. Why did they speak to me in Chinese?
"Yes, I understand." (Chinese)
"Do you have any problems with Chinese and Japanese? Can you communicate?" (Chinese)
"I understand everything you're saying," Josh replied.”(Chinese)
Adolf and Douglas were whispering to each other, but they looked very happy.
"Very good! You're the person we want."
"What is it? I'm the one you want…?"
