Chapter 2556 Thinking About the Problem From Another Angle
"However, the Japanese army is attacking, and we are defending. Your suggestion is very good, but I don't know if there is any specific plan." Benson asked, he could feel that there must be a reason for Su Xiong to say this! It is very likely that he already has a plan, a plan that can break the current deadlock!
"Delay the attack time, and delay the attack time by up to ten days." Su Xiong said.
"You mean, the Japanese navy will launch an attack within ten days? Why?" Benson asked.
"Weather! A new tropical storm is coming. Although it is not strong, it is enough to plunge the entire battlefield into a state of dark clouds. The reduction of wind, waves and visibility is inevitable. As a weak navy, the Japanese fleet has no reason to give up this opportunity. " Su Xiong said.
"A bad weather environment is a double-edged sword for both of us. Our detection capabilities will be reduced and our mobilization efficiency will be reduced, but the same is true for the Japanese. If it were me, I would rather be inclined to night battles than Fighting when aerial reconnaissance and cover cannot be used." Benson said with a frown.
"Ten days to wait? Actually, if we are lucky, our offensive will only last for three days. The storm area is on the sea, far away from the land. Most of the land will be cloudy and light rain. Of course, it may also There was thick fog, but that was good news for the attacking force. To be honest, I had the weather in mind when I made my plans," Pershing said.
"Believe me, in the Indian Ocean, I have used thick fog to attack convoys and/or enemy fleets at least 30 times! Two-thirds of them were against Japanese ships. I have done so many times, and I have to learn something, right? His Royal Highness has a saying that a long-term illness is a cure. Therefore, I think that the Japanese Navy will always consider fighting when the weather is not good, and it will definitely Targeted training has been carried out, at least, in the eyes of the Japanese, their experience and training in fighting in bad weather should be a tactical advantage." Su Xiong said.
"So, are you considered Japanese teachers?" Sims suddenly thought of such a sentence.
"Fight in fog?" Benson also frowned. To be honest, the U.S. Navy has never considered how to fight in foggy weather. To be honest, in the North Sea, fighting in bad weather is a compulsory course for the British and German navies. After all, the North Sea is known for its bad weather. The U.S. Navy does not do targeted training. As for the Japanese navy? Well, it can be described as a long-term illness.
"In fact, fighting in foggy or rainy days is more difficult than fighting at night, because under the same lighting conditions, nighttime is actually much better than foggy days, and the role of various campaign-level scheduling will be weakened when visibility is very poor. At the very least, the outcome of the war depends not only on the luck of the two sides, but also on the ability to adapt to the situation. Moreover, the larger the fleet, the more troubles may occur. When the fleet maneuvers, accidents are likely to occur. From a tactical perspective, our It is true that our advantage has been further weakened." Ma Jifen finally said something fair at this time.
The Japanese fleet did beat the Americans by at least two streets in actual combat experience, otherwise the destroyers would not have been beaten so badly in battle. You know, don't look at people who have been wandering in the Indian Ocean, but the vast number of Japanese light cruisers and destroyers are constantly fighting wits and courage with the German camouflaged assault ships. In the early morning and before dark, they use the cover of morning fog or night to attack and then retreat. It is a good game of German camouflaged assault ships and submarines. In the same way, the Japanese have learned a lot after being beaten a lot. At least 5 German camouflaged assault ships were destroyed in the bloody and long Indian Ocean sea strangulation battle.
If you really fight in a foggy weather, many of the plans you made before may not be used. First of all, you are in a foggy day and you can only rely on equipment to determine your position when you can’t see any reference objects. , for example, in the North Sea campaign,
Both the British and German navies determine their position by constantly measuring the distance and sideways of the signal towers on the shore. But now, the nearest base is thousands of kilometers away! It's stormy weather again, and if we really fight, the U.S. Navy may not even know where I am. After all, even at night, you can still use a sextant to determine your position, and in foggy days... . what would you do?
Well, if even this problem cannot be solved, then all battle tactics based on mapping and deduction have been gg. Can't do it!
"For this problem, we can use the Army's radio station as a signal base station. Although it is not professional and may be more likely to be interfered with, it can always be used first." At this time, Pershing said that I can help, of course, definitely Won't be as professional as Navy Radio, but better than nothing.
"Then the second problem is the identification of friend and foe. In time, we can arrange a dedicated radio operator for each ship to transmit and receive identification signals, but for the entire fleet center, we are not capable of handling these complicated tasks. data, and the radio frequency width may not be enough." Magiffin said the second question.
"It's very simple. Before the storm comes, all irrelevant ships are withdrawn, and the number of ships remaining on the battlefield is reduced as much as possible." Benson said.
Benson's method is effective, but it will still leave a large number of non-combat vessels in the sea, such as the fleet's refueling ships, various supply ships, transportation ships, and warships that are ready to support the army at any time. As for why support army? The reason is very simple. The Americans know how to use the bad weather to weaken the Japanese army's firepower to attack, and the Japanese know it too! Fog is good for the attackers! Therefore, the US and Japanese armies are very likely to launch an offensive war! And if this is the case, the fire support of naval guns is very necessary!
"Well, General Su Xiong, judging from the current situation, the Japanese do have a great advantage in this situation. They don't need to consider friend or foe identification, because they only have one fleet to attack. As long as the Japanese can kill all The fleet that can be encountered is fine, and our command system may also fall into chaos, so do you have any suggestions for this situation?" Speaking of this, Benson has actually recognized that the Japanese are very It may be possible to launch an attack on foggy or rainy days!
