Chapter 1289: In battle
Chapter 1289
"Let's go, night combat is definitely not a suitable option, so our second attack is during the day! This time, we can continue to choose to attack from the back, or we can choose to attack from the side, because the rising sun is still very dazzling, so, We also have the advantage in the battle." Raidel said.
Ryder really deserves to be a "brother" (a person who is meticulous to a certain extent.) He took full advantage of the speed advantage brought by the engagement initiative, and the natural environment created a tactical advantage time and time again. The two Japanese fast battleships are indeed powerful. They are also agile enough, but unfortunately, they must move around the fleet. The maximum speed is limited to 10 knots, which is even lower than the most economical speed of the warship. No way, the **** mission can't get you out of the fleet. Therefore, if the German fleet does not want to fight, unless the Japanese throw away the transport ship, otherwise, the Germans will leave if they want. There is no problem.
In the use of time points, the Germans are equally good. The sun is not strong at sunset, so the interference to the fleet's aim is not great. The German fleet is hidden in semi-darkness. For example, it can be seen that the Japanese fleet turns on the lights at night, and the German cat is in the dark, ready to shoot black guns at any time.
During the day, when the sun rises for a short period of time, the light is very strong. At this time, the still rising German fleet showers in a layer of light. Even if the Japanese fleet wants to fight, it will be affected. The influence of light, although the two battles were when both sides had their backs to the sun, but because of the difference in time, they created completely different situations of engagement. And this kind of fighting situation is enough to change the outcome of the two sides in a evenly matched situation! In other words, after choosing the time and entry point, the German fleet won a little and a half before the battle started!
"If this is the case, then if we have the upper hand, we can take advantage of the situation and we can get rid of it. If we are less lucky, we can leave? Find a chance to come again? Is that true?" Su Xiong understood Raidel's thinking.
"Yes, the Japanese fleet can only sail about 450 kilometers a day, and we have at least a week to slowly take care of them! As long as we can take advantage once, we can expand the advantage to victory! By then, the Japanese fleet They can only choose to leave and leave their transport ship obediently behind!" Raidel said. "Even if their destroyers wear too much, we can even use submarines to launch a forced attack while holding down the other's two fast battleships. Believe me, one destroyer of the Japanese will definitely not be able to defeat two submarines. , Even if there is an artillery battle."
This is true. The number of Japanese destroyers is not large, and the tonnage is generally relatively small, generally below 1,000 tons, and the firepower is only 3 to 4 medium-caliber guns. Everyone does not have decent armor protection, and the submarine is out of the water. Even smaller, even with a 150MM deck gun. Two better German submarines are better than a Japanese destroyer!
"As long as we kill most of the Japanese transport ships, then in essence, our mission is considered complete. It is good to be able to kill a Japanese fast battleship. If you can't do it, it doesn't matter if you go away." Raidel said After finishing, lean back on the chair relaxedly. Waiting for Su Xiong's decision.
"However, if I can, I still hope to keep a Japanese fast battleship!" Su Xiong said.
"Well, let's work hard with this goal, so what we need to do tonight is to gather the submarines scattered everywhere, and then plan a good route to kick the Japanese in the **** tomorrow evening!" Raidel said.
"What about tomorrow day?" asked a nearby officer.
"If there is nothing wrong, everyone can sleep well!" Raidel said with a smile.
Without the knowledge of the Japanese fleet, a large net traversing the surface and underwater began to shrink with the Japanese fleet as the center! After receiving the order from Su Xiong, Colonel Schultz also led his submarine force to quickly follow up. The German submarine force, which had a maximum speed of 16 knots on the water, took less than half a day with the help of supply submarines. You can see the thick smoke sent by the Japanese fleet. About five submarines fell behind the Japanese fleet like wolves, relying on smaller hulls to hide themselves. The other five ships were scattered around the fleet, forming a semi-encircled formation.
"We have passed Ceylon (now the island of Sri Lanka) and are about to enter the Arabian Sea." A Japanese naval officer looked at the vast sea in a very good mood.
"Yes, we have entered the frequent activity area of the German fleet, and maybe we will soon have a fierce battle." Kato Kanji also sighed. From the itinerary, they have already moved more than halfway. At the entrance of the Red Sea, there are British submarines and mines. Once you enter the Red Sea, you will be home. But now, he couldn't let go of his mind, in the midst of it, he could always feel that he was staring at something!
"We couldn't catch any signals related to the Germans even in the air! This is extremely abnormal. You must know that even when the two German battleships were hit hard, there were still camouflaged cruisers in this sea area, and now These things seem to have been completely erased~www.wuxiaspot.com~ We can’t find a trace of it. The so-called things are abnormal, there must be demons. I always feel that the Germans are brewing something!" In the diary, Kato Hiroshi Zhi wrote.
The Japanese major general simulated the offensive actions that the Germans might take. Whether it was a frontal attack or a night sneak attack, Kanji Kato made a plan. The frontal attack would naturally be the hardtop of the Yamashiro and Kurama. If it was a sneak attack, Then consider using capital ships to contain them, and then destroyers sneak attacks. Even the major general also considered that if the two capital ships he led directly leave the fleet after the fleet enters the Red Sea, and the two King Kongs of the other lieutenant General Yamaya's plan to encircle the German fleet. Therefore, he now hopes that the Germans will jump out!
However, as he wished, in the evening, the Su Xiong fleet and the Japanese battleship had their first encounter! When the sunset is still covering the first half of the fleet, and the dark red light shines the entire fleet red, the two German battleships secretly following from behind will soon let the Japanese know what blood is like. The setting sun! In the evening, the two fast battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau entered the battlefield from an upwind position.
Dear book friends, can I say that I dropped the uniform order yesterday... This is really a sad story... It is still three watch today--! Struggle.
