Chapter 2570 The Iron Dice Is Spinning 2

"The Japanese offensive was very fierce. They used many previously hidden firepower points, including two 10-inch long-range cannons! Some of our artillery positions on the shore were suppressed. The Japanese army had broken through the first direction and began to expand the breakthrough. The casualties are heavy and support is urgently needed now," an officer reported to Pan Xinghui.

"What did the Navy say?" Pershing asked.

"General Benson is arranging fire support missions. The fleet will be back soon," Marshall said.

"Very good, I hope Benson can show some sincerity this time." Pershing paused and then asked: "How is our fleet at sea?"

"All necessary ships have entered the shelter. Fortunately, the wind and waves are not too big. There will be no risk after the ship anchors. However, the people on top will be in trouble. Some ships have temporarily extinguished their boilers to save fuel and manpower. The supply from the other side is still there. Keep going, but slowly,” Marshall said.

"The mountain wind is coming, and the wind is filling the building." Even Pershing, who didn't know much about the navy, could smell a dangerous smell in the air.

"How are the preparations for the land support fleet requested by General Pershing?" At this time, Admiral Benson was also selecting warships for the US Army that could be used for support.

"Let Battleship Division Six go," Sims said.

"Reason." Benson asked.

"The seventh battleship squadron has a better power system, so it is suitable for cruising. The sixth battleship squadron has a poor power system, so it is very good for fire support in fixed sea areas. Moreover, this time it also strengthened the USS Arkansas dreadnought, which is our strongest It's fearless. It has fierce firepower, and it is also a real battleship. General Pershing should be quite satisfied." Sims said.

"Okay, that's it. I'll send another report to the Sixth Battleship Squadron and ask Captain William Daniel Lacey, the captain of the USS Arkansas, to temporarily command the entire Sixth Battleship Squadron." Benson thought for a moment and said.

"Got it," Sims said.

So under the leadership of the battleship Arkansas, the other three battleships of the Sixth Battleship Squadron, the USS New Jersey, the USS Georgia, and the USS Rhode Island, headed to the western end of the landing site to prepare to support the army's operations. When the Sixth Battleship Squadron arrived for bombardment When we were in position, the Japanese combined fleet was already in place. It was less than 3 hours before the final "assault" operation was launched. When night fell and the heavy rain stopped, it was time for the Japanese fleet to launch the final assault!

"How is the situation?" In the control tower of the battleship Fuso, Betty said looking at the darkening sky in the distance. There was a hint of calmness in her words. Logically speaking, after experiencing too many battles and honors and disgrace, Betty should be able to remain calm.

What's more, this is a war for the Japanese. But for some reason, Betty was unexpectedly full of fighting spirit today. It seemed that somehow, he felt that luck should be on his side this time. In the last period before the battle, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the deduction. It seemed that The Japanese were also moved by their seriousness and efforts in trying to find loopholes.

"So far, the plan is going very smoothly. We have not been discovered by the American fleet. The Americans have indeed sent a battleship detachment to the northern section of the landing site to provide ground support. According to firepower analysis, it should be a pre-dreadnought battleship." Staff Officer Nagashima Murahayao said. Later, he handed Betty the telegram sent by the Japanese Army and asked him to read the details.

"Four? If I remember correctly, all the American warships left on the battlefield should be quasi-dreadnought-class battleships, right? Battleships like the Wisconsin are no worse than the Rurik-class in terms of firepower." Betty frowned and said.

"Yes, but Vice Admiral Yamaya has 6 battleships. We also have the advantage of auxiliary battleships." Commander Shigetaro Yoshimatsu said.

"We must get rid of these battleships as soon as possible to pave the way for the main fleet to enter the core area. I hope to add two Fuso-class battleships and two Kongang-class battlecruisers." Betty said.

"If this is the case, we will have 10 main warships participating in the battle, and our ammunition is very precious." Shigetaro Yoshimatsu said.

"Ten battleships? This is the result I want! We must let the Americans believe that our main fleet is coming, and then escape to the north after destroying an American pre-dreadnought squadron! And we must also let the Americans know , during the battle, some Japanese battleships were damaged, resulting in insufficient speed, so the U.S. fleet hopes to catch up with us! Only in this way can Vice Admiral Yamaya's third battleship squadron fully mobilize the U.S. main fleet!" Betty said.

"Damn, that's so cunning!" At this time, Shigetaro Yoshimatsu truly realized the horror of a naval admiral who had experienced in the war! This is no longer a purely tactical deduction, it has even fully taken into account the opponent's general's mentality, and made full use of this to give the Americans a "reason" to act!

Throughout it all, Betty captured the American psyche! There is no doubt that under the attack of 10 capital ships and a large number of auxiliary warships, the American pre-dreadnought fleet on the opposite side will definitely be cleanly dealt with. However, no matter what, the US military can send the telegram before it is destroyed! Although visibility is very poor at night, based on the muzzle flames of the artillery, the US military can also make a rough assessment of the number of Japanese fleets participating in the attack!

10 battleships! This is already the entire property of the Japanese Navy! So when the news of the Japanese fleet's full-scale assault reached Benson's ears, what would he think? The Japanese fleet has arrived and has exposed its position. So will the American fleet take the opportunity to rush in and fight? A large-scale naval decisive battle to end this war completely? Of course, in a night battle environment, the main fleet of the US Navy is not enough, so let's bring in the Su Xiong fleet! As long as the U.S. Navy can entangle the Japanese and wait for Su Xiong's arrival, even if the losses are greater, the Japanese combined fleet will be dead!

Of course, Benson must have some level of ability to become an admiral. Before the main fleet enters the battle, he will definitely continue to test to judge the size and location of the Japanese fleet. He will send destroyers to search and track, and when they When it is discovered that some Japanese warships are slow due to "certain reasons", and the Japanese fleet only has 10 battleships and no other warships! Naturally, Benson will not let go of this Japanese fleet carrying "injured" warships preparing to return! The whole army will definitely be pressed!
