Chapter 2470: Japanese final preparations 8

?The same is true for the Su Xiong fleet in the Indian Ocean. It is not that Su Xiong has never been caught, just caught and not eaten... And if you let the German fast battleship or aircraft carrier run into it, tell me, why would the outdated armored cruiser of the Kasuga class run away?

Of course, since there is a war, there must be losses, and Yamamoto Kenbei is to see if the loss is worth it! If the loss of an armored cruiser can make Bavarians absent from the main battlefield for 3 months, no! If you are absent for two months, then this cruiser will really make a profit! what? Why is it so long? The reason is simple. It will take a long time to search and locate the target at sea. Thomas also took a very long time to catch Su Xiong back then, not to mention it was in the East Pacific!

The fighting time during the entire encirclement and suppression process may be very short, perhaps only accounting for about 1% of the entire mission time. After all, for Bavaria, half an hour of exchange of fire is enough to send any first-class battleship before the Queen of England into the sea. How long can it take to fight an armored cruiser? But after the fight, the Bavarian class must be supplied and maintained at the port due to design issues. In this way, including the entire mission time and maintenance time, this will make Bavarians absent for a long time.

As for whether the Americans will ask the German fleet to send additional troops to deal with these cruisers? The Americans will certainly do this, but it is difficult to say whether Germany will agree or not. The relationship between the United States and Germany is very delicate. The Germans are not wholeheartedly helping the United States. As long as the Japanese do not touch the bottom line of Germany, as long as Germany believes that the war should continue, or if the Americans need to suffer a bit, then they will not send additional fleets. As for the reason? There are too many, no problem finding 20 for you in an hour!

For the Japanese Navy, this is definitely a rare opportunity. Although Yamamoto Gonbi reminded Hayao Shimamura not to swell. But deep down, there is still a huge sense of superiority to the US fleet... It's just that they don't tell me!

"This need involves supply and reconnaissance issues. Our ocean-going supply is a big problem and requires the help of the British. There is also air defense. After all, in the daytime, aerial reconnaissance is more efficient than the avant-garde fleet reconnaissance." said Yasuo Shimura.

"Make this by yourself. You don't have to think about it too much at the beginning. After all, the Americans are not prepared. You will have to think about it later. If they go out, they may never come back again. Their greatest value is for us. Create an opportunity." Gonhei Yamamoto said.

"In addition, there are only two Kasuga-class armored cruisers, (two were scrapped in the Russo-Japanese War), the number is too small, but if we can use the unexpected loot we obtained in Vladivostok, then the situation Much better. Yamamoto Gonhei added."

"Among them, the Rurik and Warriors are in very good condition. They have already been improved in the local area and are being outfitted." Shimamura naturally knows what Yamamoto Gonbei said. "I have arranged special personnel to take charge of this. Thing."

"How to solve our maritime transportation problem?" Yamamoto Gonei directly skipped the issue of destroyers. After all, in his opinion, the training intensity of the Japanese Navy's Lightning Fleet's Moon Moon Fire Mizuki Jinjin is still very high (interested Book friends can check. This allusion means that the Japanese naval destroyer squadron is highly trained seven days a week. The Japanese even composed a song.) This allows the destroyer unit to deal with conventional naval battles and lightning strikes. The performance is very good. Therefore, he is not worried about fighting head-on.

But if you talk about anti-submarine and escort, let's wash and sleep, because this thing can't be done by training alone, it requires technology and a lot of data! That's right, it's the data. Let's put it this way. Let's not talk about the immature sonar of this age. Even in later generations, the difference in salinity and temperature in different seas will cause the sonar to have different acoustic signals in the sea. And because of the existence of the catastrophic layer, the sound preaching situation in the same sea area is also different! To solve this problem, in addition to technology, a lot of information and data are needed. This is why the superpowers of the later generations all over the world throw sonar buoys and build submarine sonar arrays!

And if the Americans can make up for quality but not quantity, then the number of Japanese destroyers cannot meet the huge need for escort. It can even be said that no matter in history or now, only the United States can meet the **** needs! The hundreds of large flat-panel destroyers built in history are not a joke! This is truly producing destroyers like sausages!

"To be honest, with our current strength, we can't solve it at all. The navy united by the British Empire and France is so powerful, but they can't help it with the submarines that are all over the world. We also don't have a good solution, we I can only say as much as possible. The key to underestimating the maritime transport line lies in the fact that virtue will not attack the ships of neutral countries. Our survival is based on the other's kindness, which has to be said to be a bit ironic." Shimura said.

"However, the navy has done its best. The British are willing to sell us some underwater acoustic equipment and anti-submarine weapons. The British officer's advice to the navy is to use a large number of small civilian ships as anti-submarine vessels. Hydrophones and a small number of depth bombs ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and regular destroyers to suppress the submarine's combat range. At the same time, the British also suggested that we can use a limited number of double-engine or even 4-engine aircraft for maritime patrols, according to General Betty Say, if all our routes are within the cover of land-based aircraft, then the lethality of the submarine will be reduced by at least half." Shimura Hayao concluded.

"For anti-submarine, I have also seen reports and battles from the British. They emphasized the tactics implemented by the German submarine group at night. We have also learned about this. The lethality is very huge. I really can't think of the Germans in the use of submarines. So radical! Their submarine is like a pack of wolves. When the moon rises, they will rise to the level, partly responsible for containment and others for ambushes. Once the destroyer is contained, they will first disperse the fleet and then use the ship. Cannons and torpedoes will kill the transport ships that have been ordered."

"The core of this set of tactics is intelligence, tracking and guidance during the day. The submarines in the wolf pack float on the water during the day and are at a certain distance from the fleet. When the destroyer disperses, they will go down. Dive, and then hand the tracking task to submarines in other directions. During this time, they will continue to send telegrams to friendly submarines cruising in the surrounding waters, and wait until the surrounding lone wolves gather into a pack of wolves, on a good moonlit night Launch an attack!" Yamamoto Gonhei said.
