Japanese Were Easily Defeated by America like a Child Play in the Battle of Philippine Sea in WW2

#america #audiobook #japan #pacific #ww2
As things got worse in the Pacific during World War II, Japan got ready for what they thought would be a decisive naval fight with the US. Even though the Japanese fleet had fewer resources and less experienced crews, Admiral Soemu Toyoda was still eager to go up against the American fleet. As the Americans moved toward the Mariana Islands in June 1944, Toyoda came up with the A-Go Plan, which involved putting the best ships of the Imperial Navy under the command of Vice Admiral Jisaburo Ozawa.
Japan built up its fleet at Tawi Tawi to deal with its lack of oil, but the United States kept an eye on their moves. As the Japanese attacked Saipan, Vice Admiral Raymond A. Spruance, who was in charge of the U.S. Fifth Fleet, thought they would be aggressive. Ozawa's fleet, which included strong ships like the Yamato and Musashi as well as experienced carriers, set sail on June 11.
There was a big difference between the two sides in terms of training, gear, and funding. The Japanese had more people than the Americans in some places, but the Americans had better technology and better planes, like the F6F Hellcat and the TBM Avenger.
As the Japanese moved forward, American warships and submarines attacked their fleet, damaging supply ships and sinking submarines. Spruance took a cautious stance and waited for the Japanese to move while backing the attack on Saipan that was already happening.
On June 18, American codebreakers and navigators found Ozawa's ship. Even though his officers told him to attack first, Spruance refused because he didn't want to fall into a Japanese trap.
The next day, Ozawa sent out waves of planes, and Spruance's force got ready for the attack. The Japanese attackers were wiped out by American fighters led by leaders like Charles W. Brewer and Alex Vraciu. American gunners on ships like the Alabama and South Dakota fought off attacks from the air, killing many enemy soldiers.
Even though the Japanese had some wins, like a bomb attack on the South Dakota, the American fleet mostly came out of the war unscathed. By the end of the day, a lot of people had died in Ozawa's forces, but the Americans were still strong.
In later battles, Ozawa's raids continued to fail because the Japanese were not organized and the Americans were counterattacking. The Americans called the Battle of the Philippine Sea the "Great Marianas Turkey Shoot." In the end, the U.S. Navy won the battle easily.
The tide of the Pacific War turned thanks in large part to Spruance's strategic patience and the skill and drive of American pilots and sailors. The battle was a turning point that showed the United States becoming the most powerful country in the Pacific area and Japan's naval power declining.

Artificial intelligence don't seem too intelligent apparently.

[richardtardo]

Bad AI, really poor narration. I just can’t understand why a human reader isn’t used.

"Easily Defeated by America like a Child Play" - That is pretty insulting to the very many men who lost their life in these engagements.

[erichughes]

The Japanese were unsurpassed at building very strong defences .Their soldiers were well trained and fought to the death.Even mopping up operations were fraught with danger.How can you say easy or childs play.

[scottthomas]

Can do without the captions at the bottom of the screen. They’re distracting and a lot of it is spelled incorrectly anyways.

[stevebainbridge]

These narrations of the day to day of WW2 are priceless. I have read everything about the war, but this delivery puts you right in the middle of it!!!

[LegalVideoMan]

Once I hear IA narration I hit the back button. One photo for the whole video is so exciting though.

[davidgraham]

Is it really so difficult to find a human to read the text? The AI just hasn’t cut it yet.

[jerseymike]

The title is utter crap, no service person, military historian or an adult would describe warfare in that manner, "child's play"!
I got a C note that says War Tales Echo is a kid, typing away in his parents basement. And when he is done on the computer,
he gets out his plastic army men for play time.

I suggest that you ask those who fought the Japanese, or at least look at their experiences, as to whether it was easy or not.
There were plenty of veterans who carried physical and mental scars for the rest of their lives due to tackling the Japanese over and on Islands spread across the Pacific.
And lets not forget those buried close to those battlegrounds.

[garyjohnson]

The US Navy also had 3 inch 50 cal bofors guns, and five and eight inch guns
The halting AI naration and the poor subtitles are just a poor quality program

[garymathena]

Anyone who thinks the Japanese were easily defeated is a damn fool. I knew some Marine and Navy veterans who would set you straight.

[BrianSmith-owgy]

This is very poor. The titling is just annoying and a lack of maps unhelpful.

[dave-hprf]

just as Britain lost Singapore you lost the Philippines, the first defeat of the Japanese came on the Kokada track and later Milne Bay both in New Guinea by Australian troops.They were not easily defeated but tenacious and crafty talk to any veteran who faced them, and read about the campaign in New Guinea and the other Islands.

[PeterElfant]

the titles are mispelled to a point of being ridiculous,

[DavidFMayerPhD]

Your text is FILLED with errors. Hire someone who can write English prose in the future.

Also, your narration could use a HUMAN.

I would be willing to assist if arrangements could be made.

[gregbellinger]

AI has a way to go to be pleasant to listen to.

[ernestimken]

The Pacific war with Japan was miraculous. Exact timing was involved in the victory at Midway. It was not coincidence. That left the IJN at a disadvantage for the rest of the war. Providence provided for the USA.

[williamrobinson]

I don't know which is worse, the AI narration or the (apparently also AI) captions. I watched the first 2 minutes and decided not to waste any more time.

[jameshutchins]

It too bad the speaker obviously screws up certain words.
