Chapter 2705: Guess three

"Okay, let's go." Betty hasn't said a word since receiving the telegram. This is not pretending to be deep, but for this kind of headless telegram, he can't analyze many things, and the most The key point is that he cannot solve the two most important issues on the battlefield, how many of our enemies are and what they want to do. The most basic enemy situation is not clear, so make a fool of yourself!

"Just now, we received a telegram from the Talau Islands, which claimed that our seaplane unit had discovered a large US fleet, but did not have any detailed information. Although there is something wrong, here it is. During this extraordinary period, I still called everyone to discuss this matter. Let’s talk about your opinions." said Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu.

"Maybe our seaplane did spot a German fleet. After all, the weather in the waters around the Talau Islands is pretty good this afternoon. There may be deviations from the warship models, but there will be no false alarms, especially in the telegram. It also mentioned the discovery of multiple fleets and aircraft, and we also lost one aircraft." said Hayao Shimura, chief of the general staff.

"But if you just use this to infer that there is a huge US fleet around, it's still a bit sloppy. After all, everyone knows what it means to appear here." Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu continued.

"Is it possible that the Americans are ready to attack the united fleet?" Shimamura said. "During our rest period, the two Colorado-class battleships of the U.S. Navy should also be in service, and they have also ordered 4 fast battleships from Germany and Austria, some of which may have already been delivered, plus The remaining strength of the Su Xiong fleet, the combat effectiveness of the US battleship squadron has far surpassed ours. As for aircraft carriers, the US Navy retained 6 aircraft carriers in the previous Battle of New Ireland. As for cruisers and destroyers, the Americans have even greater advantages. Great. Even if we have a base defense system and an aviation team, the Americans might prepare for a fight."

Some people may think that this tactic of directly hitting the opponent’s hometown is a bit absurd. In fact, apart from World War I, it is normal for the strong navy to block the opponent near the port by inshore blockade. For example, in history, the Royal Navy has The French navy’s near-shore blockade, for example, in this plane, during the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese navy rushed directly outside Cam Ranh Bay to intercept the Russian fleet. During the war, the British did not fail to rush to the gate of the German nation to make a big fuss. Before the Battle of the Doger Sandbanks, the British battlecruisers also beat the High Seas Fleet once in Helgoland Bay. After the Battle of Doger Sandbar? The British battlecruiser squadron suffered heavy losses and the situation in the North Sea has changed, so forget it.

As for the current U.S. military, they have a great advantage. If they do their best to fight the Japanese navy, it is entirely possible. Even the Japanese and the British have thought of this. What to do if the mouth suddenly raided Davao Bay? Although the Japanese are tough on their lips, the plans they have made are quite persuasive. Generally speaking, they rely on the mines, submarines, and aircraft in Davao Bay to consume and delay, and then the fleet waits for the opportunity to move. In general, it will not fight. On the front, wait until the U.S. fleet is exhausted before delivering a fatal blow. It is impossible for the US fleet to linger in the Philippine waters all the time. After all, warships burn coal and are lonely overseas. It is okay to see the opportunity to fight a wave. If the war is protracted, the Americans will definitely suffer.

Therefore, when the Japanese assumed that Goodnor's seaplane force had discovered a large fleet, it was indeed possible to target the combined fleet. And recently the destroyer squad did find that there are more submarines in the surrounding area of ​​Davao, and even some American submarines tried to enter the port through the shipwreck area and mine nets. This brave test not only caused the Americans to lose at least 2 submarines. At the same time, it also touched the sensitive nerves of the Japanese. The US submarine force is so desperate, is there any big plan recently?

Now, Goodnow’s telegram completes the last part of the Japanese speculation. To be honest, this kind of telegram with little dry goods is possible if it is thrown aside under normal circumstances. But because the person who sent the telegram was a former general of the Royal Navy, and it was also in this sensitive period, the Japanese were very serious about it. In addition, this telegram happened to be consistent with the Japanese guess and logic, so Japan People expressed their willingness to believe this telegram!

"I think the joint fleet should immediately step up its vigilance and send out the submarines and camouflaged reconnaissance ships still in the port to form a cordon in the southern part of Davao Bay. At the same time, the V1500 long-range reconnaissance aircraft should be dispatched during the day to pull the net in the nearby sea. The United Fleet Headquarters must remain mobile and always guard against American sneak attacks."

"If we can find the U.S. fleet and they are within range of our land-based aviation force, then we can launch an attack with the land-based aviation force. We have at least 500 crews in the southern Philippines, plus 4 For the carrier-based aircraft on an aircraft carrier, our aviation power is our advantage. As long as we can severely damage the US aircraft carrier detachment, then we can give full play to the mobile advantages of the high-speed fleet. When that happens, we will be able to fight or delay it." Taro said.

"This is the most conservative approach. At least we won't suffer." Stetti nodded and said. "But, have you ever thought about what if the target of the Japanese combined fleet is not us? For example, New Guinea or our sea line of communication?"

"You all know very well about the strength of the US fleet~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If they choose to attack the Davao area north, then we rely on the land-based power in the Davao area, and there is still the capital of World War I. What if they go south? In New Guinea, if we destroy all the ports, cities and ships along the way, then our next plan will be a bit bad." Stetti said.

"Even if they light up the ammunition of all the battleships, it may not be enough. After all, our base network has been established for at least 3 years, but this problem still exists. I will order the Shanghai Army Air Force on the island of Guinea to pay more attention. If the US fleet is confirmed If it is to launch an offensive against New Guinea, then while the land-based aviation power is consumed and the opponent is delayed, the combined fleet will quickly move south and find the right opportunity to fight the Americans.” said Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu.
