Chapter 2764: prelude

The Japanese plan is relatively simple. Generally speaking, it is to enhance air reconnaissance. Then, based on the approximate position and speed of the US fleet before dark, it is estimated which route the US fleet will take at night and how far it will go in one night. Then the main force of the Japanese fleet intercepted at a certain position, and at dawn, they sent out reconnaissance planes for precise positioning, and finally took the whole family to fight. The idea is simple, but it is not easy to implement, because they have to guess the approximate location. The interception line deployed cannot be too far forward. If it is forward, it may be missed. If it is too far behind, it will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of searching. .

It depends on the basic skills and intelligence of the Japanese fleet. For example, they must accurately estimate the amount of fuel in the U.S. fleet. If there is more fuel, then the U.S. fleet still has the capital to delay or maneuver, and if there is not much fuel, Then the US fleet has no choice but to go straight!

　　Also, will the US fleet be withdrawn from the north of the Talau Islands, or from the south? After some consideration, Shigeru Yoshimatsu, Betty and others believe that the U.S. fleet will choose to withdraw from the south. The reason is simple. The northern route is between the Philippines and the Talaw Islands. From here, it is easy to encounter the Philippines and Talaw. The flanking attack of the land-based aviation forces of China is extremely detrimental to the Americans.

According to speculation, Betty and others believe that the US fleet will not have too much fuel. After all, the US fleet has been in the Sulawesi Sea for a week. The endurance of the battleship may be okay, but the destroyer's reserve is definitely not enough. In addition, based on previous reconnaissance, the Japanese fleet concluded that the number of supply ships accompanying the US fleet would not be large. Therefore, after integrating other information, the Japanese made a prediction of the approximate course of the US fleet, and you Not to mention, the prediction is quite accurate!

The literacy of the British and Japanese navies is one aspect. The other aspect is that the Americans really have few choices. Fuel is limited, time is tight, and the bomber's combat radius must be avoided as much as possible, so what else can be done? ? It is normal for the senior navies of the United Kingdom and Japan to guess. Even the senior navies of the United States and Germany believe that their opponents can guess their course of action. That’s good. Now the question is here. How did the Majifen and Raidel plans work out? ?

　　 Unlike Britain and Japan, when they made plans, they focused on strategy. The United States and Germany focused on tactics when they made plans! Because it is impossible to avoid fighting, when the two sides meet, it can be said that each has its own advantages. Well, as a tactical master who has been running singles in the Indian Ocean for a long time, small-scale avant-garde engagement is what he is best at! Gradually gaining tactical advantages through a series of planning is the core of the Raidel plan!

　　 To tell the truth, if it were a real large-scale fleet battle, Raidel would really be inferior to the current Betty, but if there were small-scale night battles, Raidel would definitely be the first person in the entire Pacific region! After all, Betty didn't fight the night battle either! Yes, you read that right, maybe because the previous adventure plan of Logan and Mitchell was too successful, this time, the US fleet is still ready to be bold! When crossing the Tarau Islands blockade, the battleship Mecklenburg from Riddle and the two armored cruisers of Little Fletcher will act alone! As for the goal of the action, it is naturally top secret!

　　 And Ryder's actions can far exceed the expectations of the Japanese! Think about it, if you operate with the main fleet, the maximum speed of the fleet is 18 knots, and if it is a fast battleship and two armored cruisers, the speed of 25 knots is fine. (Because of the high fuel consumption, it is light load now...) How much is the difference here?

　　 "May you succeed in your horse." Before the departure of the Rydell fleet, the battleship New Mexico sent a flag to see off.

　　 "May we be friends for one day and for life." Sims' flagship Colorado also issued greetings.

　　 "Do you be a friend for a day, and be a friend for life? I hope so." Rydell looked at the signal with some complicated eyes. To be honest, if you don’t talk about the political reasons and the various potential conflicts between the two countries, Rydell and Sims, Majifen and others get along well. According to the words of both sides, even if the war is over, they will still be very close. Good friends, but unfortunately, things are impermanent!

"Send a signal to General Fletcher Jr. and let them follow the flagship!" Riddle said after putting aside distractions. Then, a squadron consisting of 1 fast battleship, 2 armored cruisers, 1 seaplane mothership, and 8 destroyers Leaving the main force of the fleet, and under the cover of the falling night, heading east!

　　 "If the Louisiana is still there, that would be great." Riddle said as he looked at the two American heavy cruisers San Francisco and Baltimore behind him. If there are 3 armored cruisers to help the raid, then Raidel is confident that he will not be afraid even if he encounters two King Kong and one Dreadnought, but now, there are only two armored cruisers~www.wuxiaspot.com~then Raidel fleet The upper limit of the pressure it can withstand is 2 King Kong, or one fast battleship and one King Kong. This upper limit is somewhat low! That's right, you read that wrong, tonight, Raidel is going to talk to the Japanese Joint Fleet to talk about night fighting!

　　 The so-called wealth and wealth are in danger. To be honest, even though Logan and others have performed well, the U.S. fleet is still at a disadvantage in decisive battles, and there have been certain losses in the previous air strikes on Taragen Island. Considering that the quality of the U.S. Navy is a bit worse, this battle is really likely to fall apart.

　　 And this crash is an avalanche! After all, it is now deep in the seas of the enemy country, and you can't escape at all. If there is a regular fleet battle tomorrow morning, the Japanese Navy will have more than 10 hours to slowly fight the Americans! Raidel didn't know what to say, but it felt quite unstable. Of course, Sims, Majifen and others also share the same feelings, so if there is no trick in strategy, then there is only a night battle!

　　 So, what should I do if I can’t win head-on? You can only come out! Let’s take a look at the Count of Spey. He was suppressed by the British and French navies in the Mediterranean. How did he break the deadlock? Isn't it still a wave of recklessness at night? And Raidel has gone through a lot of night battles, and he will naturally be on the court for the night sneak attack!

　　 But the U.S. fleet is interesting enough. Eight large destroyers were selected as **** warships. You must know that the number of destroyers in the entire combined fleet is now only a little over 30.
