Chapter 2578 Su Xiong’s Concerns

"Although the Americans have activated a new communication frequency band, they are still under the control of the British Empire. We cannot decipher their telegrams, but we can grasp the movement trajectory of the American fleet through constant radio sideways." The British officer was somewhat proud. said. The pride and arrogance cultivated by hundreds of years of maritime supremacy were fully revealed at this moment.

"Okay, it's our turn and get ready to evacuate. But don't go too fast." Others in Yamaya said while looking at the sea in the distance. The Japanese fleet began to evacuate. However, due to the drag of the two Satsuma-class battleships, their speed was definitely It will not exceed 20 knots. Of course, if these two battleships are abandoned, at the speed of the Asagiri-class battleship, they can run at least 22 knots, but it is still unsafe. From now on, they will be a dangerous bait. Use yourself to lure the American fleet in the wrong direction!

Half an hour later.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we have received a telegram from the Third Battleship Division." A staff officer excitedly ran to Shigetaro Yoshimatsu and sent the telegram. There were only 4 words on the telegram, the plan was successful!

"Huh." Yoshimatsu Motaro let out a long breath, the stone in his heart finally fell, and then nodded to Shimamura Hayao.

"Order, raise the white identification flag immediately, use lights and flags to convey the order, and the fleet will begin the general assault!" Shimamura Hayao ordered, and with the order, white identification flags up to 9 meters long were raised on the mast. , and the entire Japanese fleet also began to attack the core area of ​​​​the US military, where there are at least hundreds of various transport ships!

(Note: The author did not make up the fact that the Japanese fleet used white flags as identification signals in night battles. In the Battle of Savo Island, the Japanese did this.)

So, so far, the Benson fleet, the Yamaya fleet, and the main force of the Japanese fleet have all had their own affairs. Well, on this huge chessboard, there is another crucial player - Su Xiong. What to do? !

Let's turn the clock back half an hour. Starting from the first call back that Su Xiong sent to himself! Benson's intuition is still very accurate. Su Xiong's telegram does not have any practical significance. It simply means that he will arrive as soon as possible. There is no valuable content. However, this does not mean that Su Xiong does not care about this matter. It is just that now , he has not yet sorted out an idea from the complicated data.

"What are the results of the sound spectrum analysis?" Su Xiong asked again.

"Judging from the data we obtained on the beach, there are some strange entities. Although the background noise is very loud, we can still be sure that in the battle just now, there were British 15-inch heavy artillery, 14-inch heavy artillery, and a large number of us. Information that cannot be verified,” Redl said.

If it is a land battle in this era, for fixed gun positions, the sound detection method can even be used to perform counter-battery operations. In naval battles, because the warships are mobile and the analysis speed is too slow,

Therefore, there is no fire control capability, but it is still possible to obtain the opponent's artillery type by analyzing relevant data. In this world, apart from the British, it is the Germans who are most familiar with British artillery!

"Very good, what happened tonight is very interesting." Su Xiong said with a serious expression. "There were outsiders mixed into tonight's battle, outsiders we are not familiar with. They are still capital ships!"

"You mean, the Japanese have received additional support?" At this time, Nimitz, who was the liaison officer of the US Navy in Germany, said with some surprise.

"Yes, at least that's what we think. Our observation post uses sound spectrum analysis. However, this system has not gained your attention, so the information and data provided cannot be used as evidence." For this German-American, Su Xiong still likes it and is willing to mention it.

"If this is the case, wouldn't the Japanese fleet exceed its original size?" Nimitz said seriously: "You should notify General Benson immediately, otherwise the main fleet will be in danger."

"It's not that serious. Although we can't determine which type of artillery these strange signals belong to, we can be sure that these artillery should be old 12-inch artillery. Our listening post found that there are many characteristic points on it and our old 12-inch artillery. Very similar. In this battle, the number of capital ships of the Japanese fleet did not exceed 10. We can understand that there may be some pre-dreadnoughts involved, and the time to destroy the sixth battleship squadron was not right, and the ground attack strike There are also some problems with the intensity of firepower, so I think this Japanese attack fleet is mixed with water." After Su Xiong finished speaking, he motioned to the recorder next to him to record all these words. After the battle, once some accidents occur, this It’s all evidence!

"You mean this Japanese fleet is mixed with some pre-dreadnoughts?" Nimitz was a little confused. Logically speaking, if you want to get a vote and leave, then the combination of all fast battleships is obviously more suitable for rapid maneuvers. , and if the Japanese are really determined to burn the boat, then all the battleships should be launched together, 10 super-dreadnoughts, 2 dreadnoughts plus forward-dreadnoughts. In this way, there is still a slight chance of fighting the German and German fleets. , but now, there are only 10 warships appearing, so good, Nimitz can't figure it out, what on earth do the Japanese want to do like this?

"It's just a possibility, and to be honest, I can't tell what the Japanese want to do now. But I know one thing, that is, if it is just these 10 warships, General Benson will not need us." Su Xiong said .

"Then you should explain it clearly to General Benson!" Nimitz said excitedly: "Why didn't you conceal such important information?"

"Explain clearly? Okay then, I now order you to draft a manuscript of the telegram for me immediately, and then be sure to explain everything to General Benson. How long do you need, how many words do you need? And how long does it take to send the telegram?" Su Xiong was obviously a little impatient. "If you want to explain so many technical details and ideas clearly, how many words will it take? How long will it take to send it?"

"Since the battle tonight, only two telegrams have been sent from my fleet. The first telegram was in response to General Benson, and I reminded him. The second telegram was sent to old General Fletcher, asking him to Immediately increase the alert and warn General Pershing. I think what happened today is very abnormal," Su Xiong said.

"Your telegram is too simple. You should explain this kind of thing more clearly," Nimitz said.
