The Rise of the Empire
Chapter 2501: Fulcrum and pry
? As for the previous concerns of the Japanese Navy, whether it is hitting a ship or hitting a person is more traumatic for the US military. Betty didn’t think about this issue at all, because in his opinion, with just such a small fleet, a tentative attack, whether you are hitting a ship or hitting people, the effect will not be good, even if it is purely from a military perspective , Betty does not think that Japan can win, and the reason why he helped the Japanese is only to retaliate against the United States and Germany, and to be worthy of the salary given by Japan!
"The Americans will definitely deploy the transport fleet in the core area. If we attack the core area directly, the possibility of encountering the main force of the U.S. Navy will be very high. As you just said, the U.S. Navy is at its peak at this time. It must be us," said Yasuo Shimura.
"This is not necessarily true. The American transport fleet is too large and the ship types are very chaotic, so they are all concentrated and cannot be managed. Don't forget that when we attack, we choose when the weather is bad. There may be higher levels of wind and waves. In this case, the ships used for landing must look for shelter in the offshore area. Large ships will gather together, and small and medium-sized ships may leave the storm zone to the periphery. The personal ability of the team commander is limited, and the huge fleet will be divided into relatively small clusters. When we landed in Turkey that year, that was the case. I don’t think the U.S. Navy’s ability to coordinate the fleet can surpass the Royal Navy. "Betty said.
Do you want to say that the Japanese Navy has experience in landing warfare? There are definitely some, such as the landing operations in Liaodong and Shandong Peninsula during the Jiawu War. But that's all. A small fleet escorted a similarly small landing force to land in a hardly fortified area, and then it was over. If you really want to talk about large-scale landing operations, in addition to the United States that is now preparing to implement it, but also It was Britain and France, so they knew how troublesome such a large-scale landing was and how many loopholes there were.
With the capital ships of the US fleet, it is impossible to protect hundreds of ships of all kinds, and because of the weather, some small and medium-sized ships must find safe havens. This will undoubtedly disperse the fleet, and once the fleet is dispersed, then there must be loopholes everywhere. It is difficult to say that it is difficult to sink dozens of transport ships at a time, but with the attitude of putting safety first and catching a handful , This difficulty is really not too high!
"I need to remind you that if the weather is really bad, the combat efficiency of the destroyer will be greatly reduced. The main lightning strike capability of the Imperial Navy is provided by the destroyer, and the efficiency of destroying the transport ship with secondary artillery is still somewhat low." Said Shimura Hayao.
"This is good news for us. The weather is bad and the sea conditions are relatively high. Our destroyers are inconvenient to move, and American destroyers are also inconvenient to move. The United States has more destroyers than us. Therefore, in severe sea conditions, In fact, the disadvantages of our auxiliary warships have been wiped out. It is also very difficult for submarines to track and attack capital ships in harsh conditions, so this is the least prone to accidents at this time!" Betty said.
What is the most afraid of night battle? Naturally, the ship overturned in the gutter. After all, under the cover of the dark night, whether it is a submarine or a destroyer, their threats are doubled. In a night encounter, the victory must be inclined to the side with more ships and more torpedoes... ….
"I feel that our actions are very blind." Shimura Hayao said.
"It is normal and the visibility is very low. Even if we are fighting near shore, it is very troublesome for us to catch a certain fleet, but fortunately, our enemies are not easy to catch us. It’s good news for us.” Betty said.
"Then what is the significance of this mission? The four precious capital ships went out, and then took a huge risk, circled around, caught what and hit what? General Betty, I am very dissatisfied with your remarks now." Said suppressing dissatisfaction.
"In my opinion, the biggest result of today’s meeting is to determine that we will launch an offensive in two weeks, and the offensive direction is from the west of New Ireland, not the east. At the same time, we will set up mines in the northern area of New Britain. Field, submarine cordon, and deployment of reconnaissance ships and torpedo boats to defend against possible active attacks by the US and German navies."
"As for the specific attack plan, we have to wait for the U.S. military to take action before formulating it, because we need a long period of reconnaissance to determine how the U.S. military will play, to determine their final landing site and the situation of the ships. Of course, if you can understand the U.S. fleet Night patrols are naturally better. At the same time, before the actual action, we still need to make a few feints in the east, as long as the German fleet is attracted to the eastern waters of New Ireland, then we will not lose in this operation! Just make money Earn more and less." Betty said.
"If you want to bite a certain fleet, it's actually not difficult. We can bite a certain fire support fleet. The reason is simple. The number of American pre-dreadnoughts is still not enough. If you click to land, then the fire support tasks for each of their warships will be very heavy. For fire support during the day, ammunition must be replenished at night. We all know that, with the exception of individual warships, most of the former dreadnoughts have no ammunition base. It will be too much, and once the weather is bad, if they want to replenish ammunition at sea, they must find a safe haven~lightnovelpub.net~I think Japan, which has controlled the New Ireland Island for 2 years, should be very clear about where to replenish it. Ammunition, right?" Betty said confidently.
"So, your Excellency thinks that the main target of this assault should be the Americans' former dreadnoughts? There are more than 2 dozens of broken Americans. Even if we can sink a few ships, it will be irrelevant to the US Navy. They can. Transfer from the port again." Shimura Hayao's tone was softened. After all, what Betty said just now is logically very rigorous and highly feasible. But just sinking a few boats before being fearless, is a bit too small for Japan's appetite.
"If we can, why don't we target the super-dreadnought ship? The US fleet will definitely send a line of battleships to patrol at night, and if the Germans are attracted to the east of the New Ireland Island, there will be no one on the same scale. The U.S. Super Intrepid Battleship Squadron is our opponent." Hayao Shimura asked.
