The Rise of the Empire
Chapter 2570: Iron dice turn two
"The Japanese offensive was very fierce. They used many hidden firepower points before, even including two 10-inch long-range cannons! Some of our artillery positions on the shore were suppressed, and the Japanese army had broken through the first direction and began to expand the breach. The casualties are high, and support is urgently needed now.” An officer reported to Pershinghui.
"What did the navy say?" Pershing asked.
"General Benson is arranging fire support missions. The fleet will return soon." Marshall said.
"Very well, I hope Benson can show some sincerity this time." Pershing paused and then asked: "How is our fleet at sea?"
"All the necessary ships have entered the safe haven. Fortunately, the wind and waves are not too big. There will be no risk after the ship breaks down. However, the people on it will be very bad. Some ships have temporarily extinguished their boilers to save fuel and manpower. The supply is still on the other side. Continue, but very slowly." Marshall said.
"The mountain wind is coming, the wind is all over the building." Even Pershing, who doesn't know much about the Navy, already smelled a dangerous breath in the air.
"How is the preparation of the land support fleet requested by General Pershing?" At this time, General Benson was also selecting warships for the US Army that could be used for support.
"Let the Sixth Battleship Squadron go." Sims said.
"Reason." Benson asked.
"The seventh battleship unit has a better power system, so it is suitable for cruising. The sixth battleship unit has a bad power situation, so it is very good for fixed sea fire support, and this time it has strengthened the Arkansas Dreadnought. This is our strongest. Fearless. The firepower is fierce, and it is also a real capital ship, General Pershing should be more satisfied." Sims said.
"Well, that's it, and I will also report to the Sixth Battleship Detachment, saying that Colonel William Daniel Lacey, the captain of the Arkansas Battleship, will temporarily command the entire Sixth Battleship Detachment." Benson thought for a while and said.
"Understood." Sims said.
So under the leadership of the battleship Arkansas, the other three battleships of the Sixth Battleship Squadron, the New Jersey, Georgia, and the three former Dreadnoughts of the Rhode Island, went to the western end of the landing site, ready to support the army operations, and when the sixth battleship squadron arrived in the shelling When it was in position, the Japanese combined fleet was already in place, and it was less than 3 hours before launching the final "spur" operation. When night fell and the heavy rain stopped, it was time for the Japanese fleet to launch the final assault!
"How is the situation?" Betty looked at the darkening sky in the distance from the control tower of the Fuso battleship. There was a trace of calm in the words. It stands to reason that after too many battles and honors and disgrace, Betty should have been able to be calm, not to mention this is for the Japanese. But for some reason, Betty is unexpectedly full of fighting spirit today. It seems to be in the dark. He feels that luck should be on his side this time. In the last period of time before the battle, he devoted himself to the deduction. The seriousness and hard work of trying to find out the loopholes has moved the Japanese.
"So far, the plan is progressing smoothly. We have not been discovered by the U.S. fleet. The Americans have indeed sent a battleship detachment in the northern section of the landing site to support ground. According to the firepower analysis, it should be a former dreadnought battleship." Chief of Staff Island Mura Hayao said. Later, he handed the telegram from the Japanese army to Betty to let him see the details.
"Four ships? If I remember correctly, the Americans are now quasi-fearless warships on the battlefield, right? Warships like Wisconsin are no worse than the Rurik class in terms of firepower." Betty frowned and said.
"Yes, but Lieutenant General Yamaya owns 6 battleships. We also have the advantage of auxiliary battleships." Commander Shigeru Yoshimatsu said.
"We must clean up these warships as soon as possible to pave the way for the main fleet to enter the core area. I hope that two Fuso-class battleships and two King Kong-class battlecruisers can be added." Betty said.
"If this is the case, we will have 10 main battleships participating in the battle, and our ammunition is very precious." said Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu.
"Ten warships? This is what I want! We must convince the Americans that our main fleet is coming, and then flee north after destroying a former dreadnought unit of the United States! And we must also let the Americans know During the battle, some Japanese battleships were damaged and the speed was not enough. Therefore, the US fleet hopes to catch up with us! Only in this way can the third battleship squadron of the other Lieutenant General Yamaya be able to fully mobilize the US main fleet!" Betty said.
"Fuck, really cunning!" At this time, Shigeru Yoshimatsu really realized the horror of the admiral he had experienced in the war! This is no longer a purely tactical deduction. It has even fully taken into account the mentality of the opponent's commander, and makes full use of this to give the Americans "reasons" for action!
Throughout the process, Betty has always captured the American psychology! There is no doubt that under the attack of 10 battleships and a large number of auxiliary warships, the American former Dreadnought squadron on the opposite side will definitely be cleaned up~lightnovelpub.net~ However, in any case, the US military can be destroyed. Send the telegram before! Although the visibility is poor at night, based on the muzzle flames of the artillery, the US military can also make a rough estimate of the number of Japanese fleets participating in the attack!
10 battleships! This is all the possessions of the Japanese Navy! So when the news of the assault by the Japanese fleet reaches Benson's ears, what will he think? The Japanese fleet has come and has exposed its position, so does the US fleet take the opportunity to rush to fight? To completely end this war with a large-scale decisive battle at sea? Of course, in the night battle environment, the US Navy's main fleet alone is not enough, so let's pull on the Suxiong fleet! As long as the U.S. Navy can entangle the Japanese and wait for Su Xiong to arrive, even if the loss is greater, the combined Japanese fleet will be dead!
Of course, Benson’s ability to be an admiral must be at a certain level. Before the main fleet is engaged in the battle, he will definitely continue to probe to determine the size and position of the Japanese fleet. He will send destroyers to search and track, and when they When it was discovered that some Japanese warships were slow for "some reasons", and the Japanese fleet had only 10 battleships, when there were no other warships! Benson will naturally not let go of the Japanese fleet whose carrier is "wounded" and the warship is about to return! The whole army is bound to be overwhelmed!
