Chapter 2675 Dragnet 3
"Are the Americans anxious?" Su Xiong said in his mind. Of course, it has nothing to do with him whether the Americans are in a hurry or not. He just needs to get the authorization and then make achievements that are consistent with the size of his fleet.
Later, after Sims read Redl's naval blockade and surveillance plan himself, he greatly praised Redl's proposal. After all, Redl had eliminated a large number of useless targets through elimination methods and narrowed the surveillance scope. It had reached the point where it could be level of implementation.
"We can further improve this plan. We can send 50 destroyers and armed merchant ships to form a blockade outside Australia's major ports. We must inspect every available ship. If there is resistance, destroy it directly! Two destroyers and An armed merchant ship forms a team, and the latter provides logistical supplies to increase the endurance time. The Japanese warships are all old ships, and they are not specialized delivery ships, so the range is very limited. We only need to blockade them for 20 days, and their logistics Supplies are unsustainable!" Sims said.
"Since you chose Australia, we will choose New Zealand." Redl said with a smile.
"New Zealand? A shrewd choice." Sims thought for a while and instantly understood what Redl meant. The information that the US Navy monitors ships sailing from Australia must not be hidden from the British. After the Americans launched a blockade, the Japanese and British have already taken countermeasures. So what is the simplest way? Naturally, use Britain is supplying other colonies in this sea area!
And New Zealand is the best choice! On the one hand, it is located in the South Pacific, very far away from the main battlefield. If the Americans want to use destroyers to blockade such a distant place, they are unable to do so. On the other hand, there are very few routes to New Zealand and few ships, so if the Japanese fleet operates here, the possibility of exposure will be relatively low!
Of course, this was the case when the United States was unprepared, but unfortunately, this time the Japanese faced the German navy, which had grown up in more than three-digit battles! In this case, how could Su Xiong and others not think of it? Therefore, the current method is somewhat similar to an ancient Chinese tactic, surrounding three and missing one!
The South American countries will never choose to provide help to the Japanese or British at this time. They will definitely inspect every ship carefully in accordance with the requirements of virtue, and detain all suspected ships, and even detain people from ships. Leave it to the United States and Germany. There is a U.S. Navy blockade in the direction of Australia. Well, now comes the problem. Even if the Japanese realize something is wrong, they must go to New Zealand for supplies! Even if Betty discovers the problem, the Japanese fleet can only venture to New Zealand and receive supplies before it has enough fuel to return to the mainland from the Eastern Pacific!
As for the American and German fleets, after completing this deployment, they only need to tie their pockets! Waiting for the Japanese fleet to come, or let another American fleet kill the Japanese fleet near Australia!
"Then how to deploy the other hunting fleets?" Su Xiong asked.
"The United States now has three completed new armored cruisers. We think they are enough to deal with Japan's pre-dreadnoughts, plus a fast battleship that your country just provided. Then we will add 3 more battleships and a certain number of surface ships. The aircraft carrier and the aircraft carrier form a total of four hunting groups. Two of them are deployed near the east coast of Australia, the other is deployed between Australia and New Zealand, and the third is deployed as a mobile force east of New Guinea."
"In addition, in order to prevent the British from having long-range supply ships sailing from India or Malaya to bypass Australia to deliver supplies to the Japanese fleet, we will also arrange armed merchant ships in some areas." Sims said again and again. A logo representing the U.S. fleet is placed on the map.
"Very good, let's close the last gap." Su Xiong stepped forward and drew a circle in the direction of New Zealand with a pencil.
Once the deployment is complete, then it is time to talk about the time to launch the attack. On this aspect, the Americans have already thought about it. I really thought that the US Navy would only passively defend during this period. How could it be possible? At this time, there were no less than 20 US Navy camouflaged reconnaissance ships scattered across the ocean! They were spread across the vast eastern Pacific, using their eyes, seaplanes, and antennas to search for the Japanese navy. And after a period of hard work. Americans really discovered something!
For example, the communication frequency bands that the Japanese Navy may use! You know, radio communications in this era are actually still very immature. Not to mention advanced things like anti-interference, there are even very few communication frequencies that can be used. Because of the performance limitations of the system, in order to ensure that communications do not interfere with each other, Therefore, the communication signals contained within a certain frequency are very limited.
Under normal circumstances, everyone uses common frequency bands to communicate. The military will have its own frequency band. In order to prevent the frequencies from being too close and interfering with each other, different armies or units will always maintain a certain frequency interval. Well, in the United States on the ocean The intelligence ship will definitely monitor some special frequencies and then start to eliminate the known frequencies, and then the remaining ones will be the suspects.
Although radio lateral technology cannot provide locking due to accuracy and distance issues, with more such contacts, the United States can also find some tricks. For example, if there is an outbreak in some special frequency bands within 20 days, it will be very serious. It may indicate that the supply interval of the Japanese fleet is likely to be 25 days! And so on, Americans began to gradually dispel the fog of war by searching for clues!
The US Navy's camouflaged reconnaissance ship even tracked suspected Japanese supply ships several times, but unfortunately, it was lost due to weather or other factors... Okay, but anyway, the U.S. Navy already has a certain understanding of the Japanese supply cycle, supply routes, or habits. And this time Sims came here because the next supply cycle of the Japanese army was coming! About fifteen days later!
At this point, the entire blockade surrounding the Eastern Pacific has been deployed. As long as the U.S. fleet completes its preparations, security can immediately launch a large network to include the entire Eastern Pacific. It is impossible to catch all the Japanese attack fleet in one fell swoop, but catching a few ships is probably not a big problem!
"In addition, we have a request. I hope you can agree." Just when Su Xiong thought the meeting could end successfully and everyone started eating and drinking, Sims suddenly said.
