The rear aircraft carrier combat group is taking advantage of the opportunity to travel and rush in armed swims, using each opportunity to increase their strength as much as possible. Although the aircraft carrier has not yet been truly two in the world, it is only a matter of time for Wang Guangya. Such a powerful and highly combative force cannot be left in vain.

The battleships in front are close to Guam, which is very important in China's plan. However, here in the US military, it was just an island of hundreds of square kilometers that was harvested during the Spanish-American War. Such an island is considered large in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, because most places in the Pacific are islands and reefs, and there are too few similar islands. However, in this era, even if it is reached, even large-scale land is rarely developed. Just like New Guinea in Germany, it is completely left alone and has not yet formed issues of air supremacy and airfields.

Guam is a huge island with a slightly awkward geographical location. When there was the Philippines before, the two key points of the United States were the Philippines and Hawaii. As for Guam, it was too close to the Philippines and did not have much area or interest, but was just an optional existence.

After the United States lost the Philippines, Guam's status was improved. He was regarded as the forefront of the United States' resistance to China's expansion. Not only did it add 500 soldiers, but it also brought in a batch of artillery fire. However, these artillery fires were not of the same level as the main guns of battleships. As for the army, there were too few military personnel.

If this group of US soldiers were transferred back from Europe, I am afraid that there would be some twists and turns in this battle, but this group of soldiers were directly selected from the troops withdrawn from the United States and the Philippines. They were still in the battle pattern of the US military before, before the war broke out.

On the island, some defenses were arranged, but they were still fixed camps. The camps were made stronger. Some artillery and machine guns did not build permanent fortifications or civil fortifications on the mountains inside the island. These camps looked strong and had a strong protective effect for individual soldiers. However, for the naval guns of battleships, they were simply targets. As long as the artillery fire of the battleship came, they would be broken directly.

Guam is important. Even under the premise of absolute advantage, they chose the best moment. They arrived at the coast of Guam almost ten in the early morning. This is a huge island, an island of hundreds of square kilometers. It is extremely small to the level of the Pacific Ocean. It is just a very insignificant part of the Pacific map. However, when they really face it, they felt its hugeness, with a side length of more than 20 kilometers, and even some peaks and valleys. If China had not done a long time to investigate, the high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft would fly over the above island at least hundreds of times.

All strategic goals on Guam are clearly detected, and each military goal is clearly marked on the map. The commander can easily find the opponent's location and launch an attack based on the map.

In terms of professionalism, the US military seemed to be a little stronger than the Japanese. They set up watchtowers on necessary high grounds, hundreds of thousands of tons of warships and dozens of densely packed ships, unless it was in the dark and after dawn, they could not stop them. They clearly saw the enemy's attack and issued an alarm.

A shrill alarm sounded on the island, and the US military quickly moved from sleep to combat. All the artillery and machine guns were already on board, ready to deal with the battle at any time.

Unfortunately, the difference between the two sides is too big. Battleships with command systems can accurately hit targets 15 kilometers away. Those fixed military targets are good in terms of protection, and can also withstand a certain degree of artillery attack. However, the artillery fire of the army and the artillery fire of the battleship are completely different concepts.

Six battleships and 54 main guns all started to attack in the first wave. For a military camp that could accommodate 1,000 people, it seemed a huge area, but its area was only a hectare, and a one-ton warhead hit the military camp easily and accurately. Those who could easily resist the defense of ordinary artillery under such shells were almost no different from paper, and soon caused a large number of casualties.

The US military is not the kind of person who can fight tough battles, and in the island defense war, they encountered direct attacks from large-caliber naval guns. This is completely a crime of non-war. Even if it fails, there is nothing to complain about, let alone more than 40% of the casualties. They quickly raised the white flag.

The rise of the white flag declares the basic end of the battle. In Guam, there is not only such a military target. There are many similar military targets on the huge island of more than 500 square kilometers. However, the only one that can pose a threat to the landing troops is you. The battleship stopped shooting, but all the muzzles were still aimed at the barracks, and the landing craft began to prepare to land.

When at least two companies completed the landing, almost 600 well-trained and fully armed soldiers boarded Guam, the war was equivalent to ending in one aspect. The American soldiers who raised the white flag did not make any extreme moves. For these American soldiers, saving their lives is the best choice at this moment. Facing the main force of the opponent's naval, including the six battleships, a small Guam, can't stop the opponent at all. The gap between the two sides is too big, and the Americans do not have the idea of ​​killing themselves. Since the opponent's strength has an overwhelming advantage and the island can no longer be defended, then surrender is an inevitable choice.

Guam is a huge island with a total of more than 500 square kilometers and many military targets. Solving such a military camp is equivalent to killing the biggest target. However, there are still many militants, and Guam has many indigenous people, which requires a lot of work.

The Battle of Guam was not a big deal in the Pacific War. More than a dozen warships, more than a dozen merchant ships, and more than 3,000 soldiers were solved. It took only two days from approaching to occupation, and it didn't take much time to search for the enemy. However, in Baotou, Yang Yuanzhao paid close attention to this almost throughout the journey. In the future, Guam, a famous US military base, is the most important naval base for the US military in the Pacific Ocean, except Hawaii, and even the strategic fighter planes arranged by Hawaii are not as important as China's next strategy.

At the first time of occupation, Yang Yuanzhao issued an order in the central government to send surveying personnel to the island as soon as possible. It is necessary to carry out complete development on the island. A ship that can accommodate more than 70,000 tons can be carried out for simple repairs, supplies, and replacement of docks. To a certain extent, there is a small shipyard and a submarine dock to ensure that China's submarines that are active in the Pacific can be maintained, replaced and rested. In addition, there is a military barracks with a minimum capacity of 30,000 people and a large military airport.

Military airports are islands currently occupied, so airports must be arranged. Even if the investment is huge, some islands are even enough to place a runway. After construction, the most eye-catching on the island is the airport. However, for China, there is no problem. Yang Yuanzhao is very clear about how important the islands that can be built are. The aircraft carrier is very powerful. If the aircraft carrier is a mobile fleet, then the island is an endless aircraft carrier, and the number of fighter jets and combat power are much stronger than the aircraft carrier.

Anyway, the runway of an aircraft carrier can only be about 300 meters at most. Whether it is taking the Soviet jump deck or the steam catapult deck in Europe and the United States, these can only slightly increase the strength of combat effectiveness. The carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier cannot be compared with land-based aircraft at the top level. There are huge differences in combat effectiveness and ammunition load capacity.

The reason why Guam is important is that it is the most suitable place to establish air force bases. In the future, it will require at least 4 runways of 5,000 meters, and 18 to 25 runways of different sizes. With these, Guam will definitely become the support here and become a strategic location for the entire Pacific region.

For more than 500 square kilometers of land, the city square is almost 25 meters times 20 kilometers, and 5 kilometers of runways, but the length is relatively long. As long as there is a suitable place, you can put it down. In the future, Guam will become the most important support for the Pacific Ocean in the southwest. It can take off and land the largest and most important strategic eight-engine bomber. Even after upgrading in the future, it can take off and land the aircraft to the greatest extent, enough to protect the surroundings.

On Guam, 300 troops were left for defense and alert on the island. By the way, two light patrols were left. The fleet and landing troops were heading in other directions. The north of Guam were the Mariana Islands and the south of the Caroline Islands. These are famous large archipelagos in the west of the Pacific Ocean. There are many larger islands, and smaller ones may not be unimportant. For the fleet, they must be occupied one by one. This is the ultimate goal of the huge fleet starting from the Philippines.

The Caroline Islands are mainly coral reef islands, with a total area of ​​nearly 900 islands, with a total area of ​​only more than 1,100 square kilometers. On average, each island is only one kilometer. Unless necessary key places are necessary, most of them are not suitable for building airports. It is more suitable for the Mariana Islands to which Guam belongs. In addition to Guam, the largest one, Saipan and Tinian Islands are large islands with an area of ​​more than 100 square kilometers. They are not as unique as Guam, but they are also an island of level. If all the three major islands are military bases, they will form a solid triangle and become the most solid coastal defense base east of the Philippines.
