Chapter 2577 Gap

Did the Japanese fight well? Nature is very good, but perfection can never be called! In fact, if the U.S. fleet was not too weak, the Japanese fleet would never have won so cleanly. In the eyes of Betty and others, the Japanese fleet actually fell behind in the initial intelligence contest between the two sides! In order to ensure that the subsequent battles proceed smoothly, Betty must use the last period of time to perfect the Japanese army's next plan in order to minimize loopholes! Because Betty knew that if she met the wily Su Xiong, the Japanese would probably have to pay a bloody price!

"Originally we launched a surprise attack, but during the battle it was the Americans who discovered us first. If we had not had the absolute advantage, it would be difficult to say the outcome of this battle." Motaro Yoshimatsu said with a gloomy expression.

"The U.S. Navy lacks actual combat experience and its tactical level is not very high, but they have established a complete system, just like the general staff system, which breaks down a battle into several aspects, and each person in the staff department Everyone is a screw. Most of them don't need to think about the overall situation of the war. They just need to do their own things well. Then when they do everything well, the pressure on the superiors will become very heavy. Small. The Germans are like this, and Americans learn quickly," said Hayao Shimamura.

"Is there any result from General Betty?" Motaro Yoshimatsu asked.

"It should be soon." Just as Shimamura Hayao finished these words, Betty finally spoke.

"The reason for our exposure has been clarified. We are too close to the coast, and there are American observation posts on the coast. Next, we need to avoid the coastal observation posts. The reorganized main fleet is best to move along this route. We The number of frigates should be reduced to avoid the possibility of exposure. Then, when the Shanwu fleet confirms that it has diverted the main force of the US fleet, we will attack at full speed," Betty said.

"What if we encounter another accident?" Motaro Yoshimatsu asked.

"It's very simple, adapt to circumstances. You don't think that the battlefield is just like filming. Everything will go according to the script, right?" Betty answered very calmly.

"The victory or defeat of this battle will determine the fate of the three powerful countries. Although we and the Americans are among them, the British Empire cannot escape." Shigetaro Yoshimatsu said.

"Your Excellency is overthinking," Betty said.

Then the regrouped Japanese main fleet completed its formation again. In the last period of time, the Japanese fleet still made some optimizations. They shortened the distance between the main ships. At the same time, the speed of the fleet was reduced. After all, Betty was also an experienced bird and was aware of the wake problem of high-speed sailing. The destroyer squadron eliminated some small boats that were not very useful, leaving behind the elite new destroyers to accompany the main fleet attack. They did not rush in all at once, but hid in the night. At this time, Japan was completely silent. The fleet can even use an optical rangefinder to easily see the firelight of other people's fleets in Shanwu when they bombard the US military positions.

The Japanese fleet was slowly moving eastward. It is said that hearing is deceptive and seeing is believing. Betty did not dare to rush in easily before confirming that the other fleets in Yamawu could lure away the main US fleet.

At this time, the US fleet was rushing to the sea area where the incident occurred, and Benson and other senior US Navy officials were also making final preparations for the battle. They verified the information one by one and made arrangements.

"Has Su Xiong's fleet been contacted?" Benson asked.

"We have been contacted. General Su Xiong said that they will rush to the battlefield as soon as possible. At the same time, we are warned that there may be a problem with the model of the Japanese fleet." Ma Jifen said.

"I hope so." Benson nodded and stopped dwelling on this issue. In the dark, Benson felt that the other party agreed too happily, which was not like Su Xiong's style. After all, according to the past communication habits of both parties, in terms of tactics, On the other hand, this admiral from the German High Seas Fleet always expresses some special opinions to highlight his presence. But this time, when they were about to fight the main force of the Japanese combined fleet, why did Su Xiong send such a telegram? And I obviously don’t understand the meaning of the second half. What does it mean that there is a problem with the Japanese fleet model?

Benson didn't understand, but obviously, he knew that it was impossible for him to send telegrams and chat back and forth with Su Xiong on this issue...

However, according to intelligence reality, the distance between the fleets of both sides is no longer far away. It is expected that the vanguards of both sides may encounter each other in up to half an hour. Benson naturally had no time to think about other things. A squadron of the U.S. Navy was killed by the Japanese in this way! And now the Japanese are still attacking land targets. In this case, Benson has no choice but to fight!

"This is the latest position of the Japanese fleet." Ma Jifen marked the position of the Japanese fleet on the chart. From the map, it can be seen that the Japanese fleet has begun to move westward and may break away at any time.

"The fleet will move one more compass point to the west and see if we can intercept them!" Benson said.

"I'm afraid we can't keep up in terms of speed. In fact, from a purely military perspective, if the Japanese want to escape at this time, we will not be able to stop them, and Su Xiong's fleet will definitely not be able to make it in time." Ma Jifen said.

"What did you say? General Magiffin, repeat what you said." Benson said seriously.

"We can't stop our opponents." Ma Jifen said after hesitation.

"The second half," Benson said.

"Su Xiong's fleet will definitely not be able to make it in time." Ma Jifen said.

"This may be the reason why Su Xiong agreed so simply this time. He thought that we were doing useless work." Benson sighed and said. "But no matter what, even if there is only one percent chance, we must work hard."

Benson now thinks he has understood Su Xiong's idea. In theory, the Japanese fleet is difficult to catch. If they face the Japanese main fleet, it will be difficult for the Americans to intercept it. The main fleet cannot keep up with the speed. To intercept with a destroyer is to use a mantis' arm as a chariot. The American army lost this battle, and theoretically there was no possibility of regaining the ground. So the question is, what is Su Xiong doing here?

"Ignore him, let's talk about everything after tonight. As a commander of the U.S. Navy, what I have to do now is fight." After getting rid of distracting thoughts, Benson began to reset the fleet's course in order to seize the slightest chance of success. Chance!

"The American fleet is coming, and they are trying to detour and cut off our retreat." In the control tower of the Asagiri battleship, a British officer said to others in the mountain house.

"How are you sure?" Others in the mountain house asked.
