Chapter 2600: Horn of attack
The sophisticated Betty will naturally not forget the escaped Su Xiong fleet, and he also accurately estimated Su Xiong's next possible action. Betty is sure that if there is no accident, this guy will definitely not miss the battle. Therefore, Betty naturally has to guard against the Su Xiong fleet that suddenly smashed out!
And Betty has also realized that if Su Xiong launches an attack, he will definitely not find the 6 Fuso-class battleships of the First Battleship Squadron, it is a death hunt. Therefore, it is extremely likely that Su Xiong will look for the King Kong-class battlecruisers of the Second Battleship Squadron, and use absolute strength to cleanly kill the King Kong-class. Although the Japanese strengthened the dome of the King Kong-class battlecruisers, and then Licking his face and said that this is a fast battleship, but to be honest, the increase in defense is really limited. Betty doesn't expect the King Kong class to be able to walk a few rounds in the hands of Su Xiong's fleet, and it is very likely that this kind of thing will happen after a few minutes of fighting!
And if several King Kong-class battlecruisers were sunk in this naval battle, it is questionable whether the battle is really worthwhile. It can even be said that the Japanese fleet has won a temporary victory but lost the future! So, in any case, Betty must also find ways to protect several King Kong-class ships while attacking the American transport fleet. These crispy skins are really weak.
"Take the fleet apart, 3 Fuso-class battleships and 2 battlecruisers. And it's better to arrange the battlecruisers in the middle of the fleet. This position is the least likely to be fired." Betty said. Generally speaking, if you can choose the attack position, then the first battleship of the offensive team is the best. After all, you can forcibly oppress the opponent's formation. When the offensive team is weak, it is also possible to choose a suitable angle to grab the tail, because Because of the formation problem of the attacked side, the main guns on the front warship may affect the performance due to the issue of firing range.
Only the battleship in the middle of the attack is somewhat difficult. If you want a suitable attack angle, then the attacking fleet will be exposed to the fire coverage of the attacked fleet's entire fleet. Therefore, in this way, the safety of the fragile battlecruisers is guaranteed to the greatest extent.
Although after this allocation, there are still two squadrons, the combat power is much more balanced. If each fleet has 3 Fuso-class battleships as the core, then even if the Su Xiong fleet comes over again, the Japanese fleet will not be afraid. And even in the worst case, one of the separated Japanese fleets is besieged by the entire fleet of virtues, then at least it is a balance of power! In other words, after Betty's adjustments, the Japanese fleet has "steadied" a lot!
"Well, let's do this first, although after such adjustments, command and maneuvering will be a little troublesome. But the safety of warships comes first." Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu finally agreed.
Therefore, under Betty’s suggestion, the huge Japanese combined fleet used the last period of time before the offensive to complete the reorganization of the fleet. A destroyer detachment was deployed to the west, and the cordon was deployed, alerting Benson who might be killed. fleet. The main fleet is divided into two parts, ready to enter the battlefield from two directions. The light cruiser squadron took some destroyers to form a third assault squad, which was responsible for attacking targets with smaller tonnage and faster speed. In other words, on this battlefield, the offensive force of the Japanese fleet is divided into three parts! A mixed force of two main force detachments and a cruiser destroyer.
To be honest, Betty's mobilization and adjustment can be said to be perfect, because such a change, whether it is the old Fletcher or Su Xiong's plan to find the King Kong-class battlecruiser to start with the idea of the water. After all, when dealing with King Kong, you also need to consider the blow from Fusang.
However, all these adjustments require a price. On the one hand, it naturally takes a certain amount of time, and on the other hand, it is an indispensable communication within the fleet! And at night, whether it is light or radio will lead to a result, that is, exposure of your position!
"I found them! It's the Japanese fleet, they are finally here!" At this time, an American destroyer hidden in the night discovered the Japanese joint fleet that was adjusting while patrolling. Dozens of various warships were in the vast sea. To complete the transformation and coordination of the queue.
"Okay, get ready to send a telegram and tell Old General Fletcher the location of the Japanese." At this time, Halsey, who was serving as the captain of the destroyer DD135, said with excitement, looking at the Japanese fleet looming in the distance at night. . It stands to reason that when most people see a fleet of this size, they may only be horrified in their hearts, but Halsey is different. He likes war and enjoys the feeling of being close in battle! He is aggressive and doesn't know what fear is!
"Captain, are we going to avoid it?" an officer asked.
"Call the other destroyers here, we are ready to act on the spot!" Halsey commanded, looking at the Japanese fleet in the distance. "Also, let's get closer, the Japanese seem to have some special actions!"
The destroyer DD135 has naturally exposed its position while reporting, but the Japanese fleet has not made any substantial actions, on the one hand because the Japanese fleet is being organized. On the other hand, there are not many auxiliary warships left in the fleet. At this time, attacking a destroyer with a capital ship or even a light cruiser is a huge waste of resources. To be honest, tonight, before launching the final attack ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The ammunition used by the Japanese fleet and the losses suffered have already exceeded expectations. Do you know what is the worst thing for a hunter? That is, looking at a large group of prey, the shotgun in hand has no bullets!
"Grass the grass, what is this operation?" Halsey, who has been walking around the Japanese fleet, was the first person in the entire Virtue fleet to discover that the Japanese fleet is undergoing a complicated formation. Shortly after he issued the alarm signal, the American seaplane that had been wandering in the nearby waters finally arrived. When a seaplane threw a large number of flares above the Japanese head, Halsey noticed the changes in the Japanese fleet. !
"Alert! The Japanese fleet has changed its composition! Their 10 fast warships seem to be divided into two equal teams!" When this information was passed down the radio wave to the ears of Old Fletcher and Su Xiong, both of them were Qi Qi's heart is cold!
"It seems that our battle tonight will be very troublesome." Su Xiong looked at the Japanese fleet that was already shrouded in flares in the distance.
"It's really not leaking! I am afraid that apart from us, there are only the British in such a scorching deployment." Raidel said leisurely.
