Chapter 2571 The Iron Dice Spins 3
Well, under Betty's planning, this logical chain has been completely completed! There is no problem! Even Motaro Yoshimatsu couldn't think of any loopholes here!
And the most valuable thing is that Betty only exposed part of the strength of the combined fleet. 10 battleships participated in the battle. This is a number that can make Benson feel excited, but not afraid! If all 16 of his various battleships come out, then Benson will definitely not be on board! The so-called seduction is just a joke. As for whether it is possible to encircle a certain point for reinforcements, use this former American dreadnought fleet as bait to attract the American fleet, and then the Japanese fleet can use the numerical advantage of 16 warships to defeat the Americans?
How do you say this? I can only say that the idea is very good, but it cannot be implemented in practice, first! There must be a large number of destroyers around the U.S. main fleet. Once the situation is not good, the destroyers suddenly release torpedoes and smoke at the same time. There is no problem for the U.S. fleet to temporarily get rid of the Japanese gun muzzles.
Another problem is that the Japanese don't know the location of Su Xiong's fleet! You know, the so-called core area is actually very big. God knows where Su Xiong's fleet is wandering around tonight! What if the Su Xiong fleet is nearby and comes with quick support? What will the Japanese fleet do? The American fleet still has hundreds of 14-inch artillery pieces! He is not an easy person to deal with either!
And in terms of ammunition types, this time the Japanese fleet carried a large number of high-explosive bombs and semi-armor-piercing bombs. These shells are very lethal against unprotected transport ships, but they are not suitable for dealing with capital ships. The ones that can pose a threat to the American Iron Turtle are actually the 6 Fuso-class battleships. King Kong's 14-inch gun is still not enough! Therefore, from the current point of view, the possibility of losing money in a decisive battle with the main fleet of Germany will be greater!
Therefore, at least so far, Betty's tactics can be said to be exhaustive. Theoretically speaking, the risk is very small, and the probability of being able to lure the US fleet away is very high!
"After we destroyed the American fleet, the two Fuso-class battleships and the two Kongo-class battleships that had participated in the battle quickly returned to the main force. The third battleship squadron launched artillery fire on the land, and then taking advantage of the chaos, the main fleet passed through the U.S. blockade The line is interspersed in depth! After that, Lieutenant General Shanwu must make contact with the U.S. main fleet and report to us the position of the U.S. fleet every 15 minutes!" Betty said.
"I believe Lieutenant General Yamaya can complete this task." Motaro Yoshimatsu sighed and said. It is too easy for the American fleet to discover this. A little delay or constant sending of telegrams can expose themselves. Even at night, the Americans can easily find others in the mountain house! Then others in Shanwu will play PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds under the overwhelming firepower of the US military! As for the end result? It all depends on the fate of others in Yamaya, and there is only one thing Motaro Yoshimatsu can do, and that is to make the sacrifices of others in Yamaya more valuable!
War is like this, sometimes blood is exchanged for blood! On this issue, any general in the world's naval power must have this awareness! Crown Prince Ruprecht is like this, Jericho is like this,
The same goes for Betty and Motaro Yoshimatsu!
"Then let's begin! The main fleet participating in the first round of attacks will go first. The command of the four super-dreadnoughts can be temporarily handed over to Lieutenant General Yamaya. After killing this American pre-dreadnought fleet, the super-dreadnoughts will return to the main fleet!" Motaro Yoshimatsu said, and then after a burst of lights and semaphore signals, the Japanese fleet completed its formation change. Four super-dreadnoughts were incorporated into the Third Battleship Division. Then the Third Battleship Squadron and the attached destroyers began to speed up, while Shigetaro Yoshimatsu's main fleet was in a slightly rearward position. Keep a certain distance!
"The lookout has discovered the fire of the American fleet. It is about 18 kilometers away from us," an officer reported to others in the mountain house.
"You see, our cat's eye has never let us down." In the daytime, it is okay to detect opponents at this distance, but at night, it is really not easy to use the naked eye and optical instruments to detect the US fleet 18 kilometers away! Although the opponent fires from time to time! For this, Lieutenant General Shanwu was still very satisfied. Although, in order to ensure that the opponent can be destroyed, the two sides must be close to a distance of about 10 kilometers before fighting, but this situation of the enemy being overt and the enemy being covert seems to indicate that the Japanese will have an easy mission this time?
Haha, the idea is very good, but this world is about probability! Just when others in Yamawu felt that they had discovered their opponent first and thought that the opponent knew nothing about them, they did not realize that the Americans also discovered the Japanese third battleship squadron that entered the battlefield first! It was even discovered not once, but twice!
Although Benson has no combat experience, his theoretical foundation is still very solid! At least, he knew that loopholes could be filled to the greatest extent through rigorous deployment and strict rules and regulations. In fact, there is a reason why the Americans are confident that they have an intelligence advantage at home. Even at night, when the basic reconnaissance network is not destroyed or confused, the Americans have an advantage over the Japanese!
The first person to discover the whereabouts of the Japanese fleet was not the US patrol fleet at sea, but the observation post deployed at the commanding heights on the shore! Everyone knows that you can see far when you stand high, and Americans are also very shrewd. Since Su Xiong has already said that the Japanese will use night fighting and bad weather as a cover to launch an attack, how can the Americans not be fortified? ? Therefore, following these two points, the Americans arranged optical instruments at some commanding heights and established observation posts to monitor the offshore situation. On the one hand, it is because it is really difficult to arrange ship patrols in offshore waters and it is easy to run aground. On the other hand, it is because you can see far when you stand high!
And the fleet of others in Shanwu went offshore! As for the reason? Naturally, there are many shoals offshore, which is very unfriendly to submarines, and the Japanese naturally have all the nautical charts of the New Ireland Island offshore. In order to avoid the possible submarine blockade of the US military, approaching the sea is naturally the best choice. However, in this way As soon as he arrived, he was discovered by the US military observation post!
Maybe someone said, how did the Americans discover it? Is it because others in Shanwu took the initiative to expose it? Sorry, this time, the others in the mountain house really have no big fault subjectively. The fleet has been maintaining radio silence, and the light control is also very strict! Okay, so how was the Japanese fleet exposed?
