Chapter 2500: Horn of War IV

?Of course, if we want to realize this plan, we still need to make a lot of preparations, for example, familiar with the layout of the US Navy, as much as possible to weaken the US naval aviation power. And make some feints before the attack is launched. Of course, the premise of all this is that we must determine what the core of this battle is the landing force? Mooring point of the transport ship? Materials piled up on the shore? Or the US fleet itself? "Betty said.

After all, Betty is just a staff officer. Although his influence is enough to affect the Japanese navy's battle deployment, he can only advise on some key issues, but can't override it. This is the most taboo place of the guest army. Therefore, he threw this seemingly simplest but in fact the most difficult question to the Japanese, that is, what is the goal of your battle! Of course, there is another reason Betty is not so good in doing this, that is, he does not know where the first cut should be made!

To be honest, it was the first time that the British encountered such a situation of engagement. Previously, the main targets of the British and German navies in the North Sea were the opponent's fleet, and almost everyone walked in groups. The goal was clear. Just think of method A. . And in the Mediterranean? The British and French fleets mainly defended against the German fleet's sneak attacks. Although the methods of tactics are changeable, it also has a core goal.

But this time the situation is different, because the United States and Japan are fighting for the islands. The goal of the navy is to ensure the safety of the landing forces and logistics supplies. The core is whether the army can take down the island of New Ireland. Therefore, the target of the attack is very high. Many, it can be a landing force, a US fleet, or a transport fleet, because the collapse of the US military at any stage will lead to the failure of the battle.

But it is a pity that the size of the U.S. military is somewhat beyond the appetite of the Japanese. Although it seems to have many weaknesses, the huge size makes the Japanese unable to choose, because the first round of attacks is destined to be a small-scale trial, and this trial is not. It will have a fundamental impact on the US military. Even if the naval battle is won, what if the U.S. forces are super fearless after sinking 2 ships? The US Navy still has a huge advantage! It is not a big problem to find an opportunity to kill the combined fleet.

"This time the weather is good. If possible, I hope we can kill a certain US squadron." Kato Seiyoshi thought for a while and said, the virtue fleet plus the battleship of more than 2 dozens is like a mountain pressing on his heart. He doesn't want to weaken the US fleet all the time.

"It's difficult. The most we invested this time is a squadron with 4 super fearless. Even if we are all discharged of Fuso-class battleships, it is still somewhat difficult to kill the American super fearless in a short time. American ships. Although the speed is slow, the firepower and defense are still good, and I feel that the Suxiong fleet will be very active at night. Before the Nagato-class battleship comes on the field, I don't want to fight Bavaria." said Yasuo Shimura. "So, my opinion is to attack the landing site or the berth near the shore."

"The Americans may be able to complete a ship in dozens of days. They have hundreds of berths. Simply sinking a few ships will not have any impact on the overall situation." said Yasuo Shimura: "If we want to win this war , Then we must destroy the things that are vital to the United States and are inconvenient to quickly add."

"The only thing that fits this setting is the fleet and personnel. Materials and merchant ships are actually not important! Therefore, if the fleet is not easy to catch, we must also kill the landing site." Shimura said.

"I think it is better to set the target on the surface for the first attack. Because the US Navy is at its peak at this time, and they have 40 warships over 10,000 tons. The probability of encounters at night is also relatively high. If we target If we are on the landing field, then we need to face a problem. If the American fleet suddenly appears when we use high-explosive bombs to attack the landing field, what should we do?" Betty asked after thinking for a moment.

High explosive bombs are required to attack the landing field. Once encountering the US fleet, even if it is just facing some armored cruisers, 15-inch high-explosive shells can hardly cause fatal damage. In battleship artillery battles, after selecting one type of ammunition, it is very difficult to temporarily replace another type of ammunition. For example, if you use high-explosive ammunition when you are fighting, then the turret must also be high-explosive ammunition. If you want to change the ammunition, you don't want to upgrade the armor-piercing projectile and you can immediately upgrade it. You need to first use up the ammunition in the tail compartment of the turret or return it to the ammunition depot. And on the ever-changing battlefield, it can cause serious consequences!

For example, in the historical battle on Guadalcanal Island, Kirishima faced the battleship South Dakota, which suddenly lost its power supply. The reason why it did not cause fatal damage to the latter at close range was largely because the turrets of Kirishima were all high. Explosive bombs, originally intended to be used in land attacks, suddenly met. The Japanese battleships had no time to replace armor-piercing bombs. They had to use high-explosive bombs first. Although they hit their opponents at close range many times, they came to the rough-skinned South Dakota. Said it was just a skin injury.

Betty’s idea is simple and straightforward. After two weeks, the main force of the U.S. fleet is definitely still there. There is no problem of maintenance or long-term supply. In other words, the main force is still relatively active. In this case, the United States People will definitely step up patrols at night. If the Japanese fleet attacks the landing site, even at night, it is easy to reveal its position. Once the fire is opened, the enemy will be in the dark. If the United States is super fearless and rushes to Japan~www.wuxiaspot.com~Japan If nothing else, the fleet will be beaten by a wave of chaos....

This is a night battle! The fighting distance between the two sides will not be far! The Americans’ 14-inch guns are not vegetarian, and even if they are defended by Fuso-class battleships, they may not be safe. So, instead of risking being beaten up, why isn't the Japanese fleet more flexible and directly trouble the US fleet or the transport fleet?

It is true that the situation of transport ships that use armor-piercing shells to hit light protection is not good, but it does not matter. There are secondary artillery on the battleship, and the destroyer has torpedoes. If it is determined that the transport fleet is on the opposite side, the firepower of the main artillery is not necessary. , 6-inch guns on battleships and light cruisers plus destroyer’s torpedoes can quickly cause huge damage to the opponent’s transport fleet in a short period of time. After the battle is over, immediately return to the night and choose the next target. It can be evacuated, the safety is much higher.
