The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 2556: Think about the problem from another ang

   "However, the Japanese is offensive and we are defensive. Your suggestion is very good, but I don't know if there is a specific plan." Benson asked, he could feel that Su Xiong must have a reason for saying this! He probably already has a plan, a plan that can break the current deadlock!

   "Let's delay the attack time, and delay the attack for up to ten days in time." Su Xiong said.

   "Do you mean that the Japanese navy will launch an offensive within ten days? Why?" Benson asked.

"Weather! A new tropical storm is coming. Although it is not strong, it is enough to plunge the entire battlefield into a clouded state. Wind waves and reduced visibility are inevitable. As a weak navy, the Japanese fleet has no reason to give up this opportunity. "Su Xiong said.

"The bad weather environment is a double-edged sword for both of us. Our reconnaissance capabilities will decrease and the efficiency of mobilization will decrease. But the same is true for the Japanese. If it were me, I would prefer night combat instead of Fight when aerial reconnaissance and cover are unavailable." Benson said with a frown.

"Ten days to wait? Actually, if we are lucky, our offensive will only last for three days. The storm zone is on the sea, far from the land, and the land is cloudy and light rain at most. Of course it may also It is accompanied by thick fog, but this is good news for the offensive troops. To be honest, I took the weather into consideration when I made my plan." Pershing said.

"Believe me, in the Indian Ocean, I have used thick fog to attack transport fleets and or enemy fleets at least 30 times! Two-thirds of them are against Japanese ships. I think even if the opponent is a fool and was beaten After so many times, I always have to learn something, right? His Royal Highness has a saying that he will become a doctor for a long time. Therefore, I think the Japanese Navy will always consider fighting when the weather is not good, and I am sure Targeted training, at least, in the eyes of the Japanese, their experience and training in combat under bad weather should be a tactical advantage." Su Xiong said.

   "So, are you Japanese teachers?" Sims suddenly said something like this.

   "Fighting in the fog?" Benson also frowned. To be honest, the U.S. Navy really has not considered how to fight in fog. To be honest, fighting in bad weather in the North Sea is a required course for the British and German navies. After all, the North Sea is known for its bad weather. The U.S. Navy will not do targeted training. As for the Japanese Navy? Well, it can be described as becoming a doctor for a long time.

"In fact, fighting in fog or rain is more difficult than fighting at night, because under the same lighting conditions, night is actually much better than fog. The role of scheduling at various campaign levels will be weakened when visibility is very poor. At the smallest, the outcome of the war depends on the luck of both sides, but also on the ability to respond. Moreover, the larger the fleet, the more troubles may be. Accidents are likely to occur when the fleet is maneuvering. From a tactical perspective, we Indeed, the advantage of being further weakened.” Ma Jifen finally said a fair word at this time.

   The Japanese fleet has indeed dumped the Americans by at least two blocks in actual combat experience, otherwise the destroyers would not be beaten so badly in the battle. You know, don’t look at people swaying in the Indian Ocean, but the vast Japanese light cruisers and destroyers are constantly fighting against the German camouflage assault ships. Before dawn and dark, they attack and then retreat under the cover of morning fog or night. It is a masterpiece of German camouflage assault ships and submarines. In the same way, the Japanese have been beaten a lot and learned a lot. At least five German camouflage assault ships were destroyed in the **** and long strangulation battle in the Indian Ocean.

If you really fight in a foggy weather, many of the previously made plans may not be used. First of all, if you are in a foggy day, you can only rely on the device to determine your position without seeing any reference objects. For example, in the North Sea operations, both the British and German navies determined their position by continuously ranging and laterally measuring signal towers on the shore. But now, the nearest base is thousands of kilometers away! It's stormy weather again, really fighting, the U.S. Navy may not be able to figure out where I am. After all, even at night, you can still use a sextant to determine your position, but in a foggy day... what would you do?

   That's great. If this problem can't be solved, then all the campaign tactics based on drawing and deduction have been set up. Can't do it!

"For this problem, we can use Army radio stations as signal base stations. Although they are not professional, they may be easily interfered~lightnovelpub.net~ but we can always make do with it first." Pershing said at this time, I Can help, of course, certainly not as professional as Naval Radio, but it is better than nothing.

"Then the second problem is the identification of friend or foe. In time, we can assign a dedicated radio operator to each ship to transmit and receive identification signals, but for the entire fleet center, we do not have the ability to handle these complicated issues. Data, and the width of the radio frequency may not be enough.” Ma Jifen said the second question.

   "It's very simple. Before the storm, all irrelevant ships are evacuated, and the number of ships remaining on the battlefield is reduced as much as possible," Benson said.

Benson’s approach is effective, but it will still leave a large number of non-combat-related ships in the sea, such as fleet refueling ships, various supply ships, transportation ships, and warships ready to support the Army at any time. As for why it is necessary to support army? The reason is simple. The Americans know how to take advantage of the bad weather and weaken the Japanese firepower to launch an offensive. The Japanese know that too! The fog is beneficial to the offensive! Therefore, the U.S. and Japan army is very likely to launch a confrontation war! And if this is the case, the fire support of the naval gun is very necessary!

"Well, General Su Xiong, judging from the current situation, the Japanese do have a great advantage in this situation. They don’t have to consider identification of enemy or friend, because they only launch an offensive fleet, and the Japanese can kill all of them. It’s fine if we can run into the fleet, and our command system may also be in chaos. So, do you have any suggestions for this situation?” In fact, Benson has already recognized this, and the Japanese are very good. It may be possible to launch an attack on a foggy or rainy day!
