Chapter 2762: Interlude One

"Your Excellency Commander, the battle report has come out. In the battle this morning, our aircraft carrier detachment successfully sank one Japanese fleet aircraft carrier, severely damaged 2 ships, and suffered 1 damage. The Japanese naval aircraft carrier almost lost its large-scale attack capability. Our two aircraft carriers, Constellation and Assault, were sunk, and a seaplane carrier was sunk. Zeppelin was moderately traumatized. At least in terms of fleet aviation, we are already at the same level as the Japanese." Ma Jifen said Sims Report reports.

"Very well, we are at least far from the abyss of failure. Any other news from the Japanese fleet?" Sims said with a breath.

"All the Japanese battleships are here, and all 13 battleships are here. We will use 11 battleships and some armored cruisers to fight 13 of them, and the Japanese still have some land-based aviation forces in this area. They are deployed. At the airport in the Talau Islands." Sims said.

"How has the weather been in the last few days?" Sims then asked.

"Like these few days, the sky is clear. In the next battle, there will be no tricks, only head-to-head combat." Ma Jifen said.

"So has the engagement plan been made?" Sims asked.

"It has been set up. We will cross the Tarau Islands along this route in the night two days later. If the fleet is at a speed of 18 knots, we will enter the F zone at dawn tomorrow. Here if the Japanese want If we are to be intercepted, a large-scale fleet battle will surely break out between us. Three hours after dawn, we will completely get rid of the combat radius of the land-based bombers on Tarau Island, unless the Japanese buy them for their bombers. One-way ticket." Ma Jifen said.

"Hehe, looking at the current posture, I feel that the Japanese are likely to buy one-way tickets for their pilots." Sims said meaningfully.

"If that is the case, our situation is a bit bad. We have no advantage in the strength of the capital ship, and we have to withstand a wave of bombing by the other party, but fortunately we still have a way to deal with it." Ma Jifen said.

"Are there any new developments in fleet operations?" Sims asked.

"No, at least we have no better way. The speed of the Japanese fleet is faster than ours, and our route is fixed. Our fuel and conditions no longer allow us to have more choices. They hold the initiative in combat. We Almost all warships are not indestructible under the threat of 16-inch and 15-inch artillery. Our only breaking points are Japanese battlecruisers and old-fashioned dreadnoughts. The Japanese have many breaking points, and we are at a disadvantage. "

"We can only pray that before the opponent kills our capital ship, we can achieve breakthroughs by killing King Kong-class and old warships. At the same time, we hope that our destroyer detachment can perform better." Ma Jifen said.

"Okay, let's do everything according to plan, get ready, we should be on it in two days!" Sims said firmly.

At this time, when the Americans were ready to break through the blockade of the Japanese fleet resolutely and set off on the way home, the top of the Japanese combined fleet exploded. I have to say that this time the battle brought the Japanese. The shock is very big! The battle situation is already clear. The US-German fleet can hardly use about 60% of the Japanese fleet's aviation power to launch such an offensive. This has greatly improved the Japanese understanding of American tactical capabilities. To be honest, this wave, The American plan is very successful!

Although most of the battle was directed by Betty, the Japanese did not let Betty carry too many pots. After all, the root of the problem lies in Japan’s intelligence errors, and Betty’s plan is also based on the wrong intelligence. Back to the top, that is also the intelligence agency of the Japanese Navy.

To be honest, some of the details of Betty’s battle still saved many Japanese and their warships. If it weren’t for the fact that he hadn’t overpowered the crowd to release fighter jets immediately after releasing the first wave of attack aircraft, then the Japanese fleet The result will be worse. It is certain that two aircraft carriers were sunk! As for the sinking Fengxiang ship, it was actually the result of not fully implementing Betty's order. Otherwise, if you are lucky, no aircraft carrier of the Japanese Navy will sink.

Therefore, although the result of this battle was very bad, Betty's behavior was considered by the Japanese navy to be an effective remedy. After the battle, Betty and others still appeared in the high-level meeting room of the Japanese combined fleet.

As a result, the Japanese flinched a little. Some people suggested that they should wait for another aircraft carrier to be in place before engaging the Americans. And this kind of thinking made Betty and Stedie sneer. Doesn't tm speak of retreat as turning in? To put it bluntly, I am a little scared and don't want to fight! Waiting for the arrival of the other two aircraft carriers? This kind of thing is not what you said. It will be at least a week after the other two aircraft carriers. At this time, the US fleet may have returned to Pearl Harbor, right?

"Everyone, although we have sunk five U.S. Navy aircraft carriers in the previous battle, these results are still too small compared to our losses. Although the combined fleet has enough fuel reserves to support more than two years, although Lagen Island is not the only oil field, but I must remind you that the annual production of millions of tons of fuel and the loss of refining capacity will have an extremely serious impact on your country’s economy. Many ships and Industrial and mining enterprises will lose the supply of cheap fuel. The gasoline needed for airplanes ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ The diesel needed for heavy vehicles will be reduced. Petroleum exports are also an important input for your country. Although we are intact in terms of military strength, we have to Said that in terms of the overall strength of the country, your country has been significantly weakened."

"Your country's economy and fuel supply need to be adjusted, and this takes time, how can time be obtained? Naturally, only a series of offensives can be used to delay the US military's counterattack. Just imagine if we let the US fleet go back like this, Then after they go back, they can take a short break and form a new fleet with the aircraft carrier squadrons that are still in their homeland. They will soon take the Bismarck Islands, and it is even possible to land in New Guinea before we return. What about us? It will take about half a year to completely repair these three aircraft carriers."

"The Americans can deliver a desperate blow in a severe situation! With the remaining aircraft carriers, we will be hit hard, so why doesn't the Japanese Navy dare to fight the U.S. fleet when the overall strength is dominant? Only the Sims' battleship was hit hard. Units, we have the opportunity to fight for about half a year before we have the opportunity to receive new battleships and aircraft carriers, and adjust Japan’s economy and fuel supply. Therefore, the question we have to consider now is not whether to fight, but how Fighting problem!" Betty said sternly.
