继前两日一举压制了帝国在东帝汶的主要核心基地劳腾港机场之后,盟军庞大的58舰队掩护着登陆船队徐徐向着北方海域前行,直接越过了驻有兵力的saumlaki,taberfane,dobo以及kai-eilanden4岛组成的新几内亚西部龟头地区第一道防线,猛插向更北方向,出产原油的boela港。
: [2 g$ ^" ^! s l/ ~
+ w' ~. u, V ` i帝国东帝汶——新几内亚西部地域防御司令部此前在战斗中已经判断盟军58将要展开新一次的登陆行动,但是地点未明,此时司令部参谋人员根据盟军58的行动路线推断盟军可能有越岛攻击的打算。
' `% N8 G4 I5 v; t* S% u, u) _) L& A4 U. p/ o
龟头一带的日军核心据点乃是大名鼎鼎的比亚克基地,虽然在历史上由于马里亚纳海战的惨败,比亚克基地并没有发挥出太大的作用,但是实际上这个地点是可以控扼盟军龟背和龟腹两路进攻路线上的交点所在,从龟背方向进攻,必须会面对比亚克横亘在路上,而从龟腹的进攻,也会面临驻扎在比亚克基地的航空队的严重威胁,因此,帝国前期已经在比亚克基地投入重兵,不仅优先调集了工兵部队将当地和附近的机场都扩建起来,而且在达尔文失守后,此地的航空兵力也被大大加强了,是不亚于劳腾港的核心据点之一。- }9 e' _0 [ j: ]

3月2日的战斗结束之后,58舰队正取正北航向驶往bolea港,当然当时的大本营还无法判断具体的攻击地点,只能大致判断攻击的方向,此时,比亚克基地已经有大量的攻击机队和战斗机队准备妥当,联合舰队机动舰队也正在附近待机,大本营决定,KB出击!
