The Rise of the Empire
Chapter 2578: Su Xiong's concerns
"Although the Americans have enabled a new communication frequency band, they are still under the control of the British Empire. We cannot decipher their telegrams, but we can grasp the trajectory of the American fleet through continuous radio." The British officer was somewhat proud. Said. The pride and arrogance cultivated by the overlord of the sea for hundreds of years is fully revealed at this moment.
"Well, it's time for us to get on and get ready to evacuate. But don't go too fast." Others in the mountain house looked at the sea in the distance and said, the Japanese fleet began to evacuate, but because of the drag of the two Satsuma-class battleships, their speed must be It will not exceed 20 knots. Of course, if these two battleships are abandoned, they can run at least 22 knots at the speed of the Chaomu-class battleship, but it is still unsafe. From now on, they will be a dangerous decoy. Use yourself to lure the American fleet into the wrong direction!
After half an hour.
"Your Excellency Commander, we have received a telegram from the Third Battleship Detachment." A staff officer ran up to Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu excitedly and sent the telegram. There are only 4 words on the telegram, the plan is successful!
"Huh." Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu let out a sigh, the stone in his heart finally fell, and then nodded to Shimamura Hayao.
"Order, raise the white identification flag immediately, use lights and semaphores to send the order, and the fleet will start a total assault!" Shimura Hayao ordered, and following the order, a 9-meter white identification flag was raised to the mast. , And the entire Japanese fleet also began to assault the core area of the US military, where there are at least hundreds of various transport ships!
(Note: The use of white flags as an identification signal for the Japanese fleet at night was not fabricated by the author. The Japanese did it during the battle on Savo Island.)
So, so far, the Benson fleet, the Yamaya others fleet, and the main force of the Japanese fleet have already had their own business. That's good. On this huge chessboard, there is another vital player-Su Xiongzai. For what? !
Let's set the clock back half an hour ago. From Su Xiong's first call back to himself! Benson’s intuition is still very accurate. Su Xiong’s telegram is really meaningless. It simply means that it will arrive as soon as possible. There is no valuable content. But this does not mean that Su Xiong did not care about this matter. It is just now. , He has not yet come up with an idea from the complicated data.
"What is the result of the sound spectrum analysis?" Su Xiong asked again.
"From the data we obtained on the seashore, there are some unfamiliar existences. Although the background noise is very loud, we can still be sure that there were British 15-inch heavy artillery, 14-inch heavy artillery, and a large number of them. Unverifiable information." Raidel said.
If it is land warfare in this era, for fixed gun positions, sound detection can even perform anti-artillery operations. In naval battles, because warships are moving and the analysis speed is too slow, there is no fire control capability, but through analysis Relevant data, it is still possible to obtain the opponent's artillery type. In this world, apart from the British, it is the Germans who are most familiar with British artillery!
"Very well, things tonight are very interesting." Su Xiong said with a serious expression. "Outsiders were mixed in tonight's battle, or outsiders we are not familiar with. They are still capital ships!"
"You mean, the Japanese got extra support?" At this time, Nimitz, who was the liaison officer of the US Navy in Germany, said with some surprise.
"Yes, at least we think that our observation post uses sound spectrum analysis, but this system has not gained your attention, so the information and data provided cannot be used as evidence." For this German-American, Su Xiong still likes it better and would like to mention it.
"If this is the case, wouldn't the Japanese fleet exceed its original size?" Nimitz said solemnly: "You should notify General Benson immediately, otherwise the main fleet will be in danger."
"It's not that serious. Although we cannot determine which type of artillery these unfamiliar signals belong to, we can be sure that these artillery should be old-fashioned 12-inch artillery. Our monitoring post found that there are many characteristic points and our old-fashioned 12-inch artillery. Very similar. In this battle, the number of capital ships in the Japanese fleet did not exceed 10. We can understand that some of them may be involved in the participation of former dreadnoughts, and the time to destroy the sixth battleship squadron is not correct. There are also some problems with the firepower intensity of the Japanese attack fleet, so I think this Japanese attack fleet is mixed with water.” Su Xiong finished speaking, and signaled the recorder next to him to record these words. After the battle is over, once there are some accidents, this It's all evidence!
"You mean there are some former dreadnoughts in this Japanese fleet?" Nimitz is a little confused. It stands to reason that if you get a vote and leave, then the combination of all fast battleships is obviously more suitable for fast maneuvering. , And if the Japanese are really determined to break the boat, then all battleships should be boarded together, 10 super fearless, 2 fearless, plus the former fearless. In this case, there is still a little chance of fighting the virtue fleet. , But now, there are only 10 warships appearing. That's good. Nimitz can't figure it out. What are the Japanese doing this way?
"It's only possible, and to be honest, now I am not sure what the Japanese want to do. But I know one thing, that is, if it is just these 10 warships, General Benson can't use us." Su Xiong said .
"Then you should explain it to General Benson!" Nimitz said with some excitement: "Why don't you hide such important information?"
"Explain clearly? That's great~lightnovelpub.net~ I now order you to draft me a telegram manuscript immediately, and then make sure to explain everything to General Benson. How long will it take you and how much text do you need? How long will it take?" Su Xiong was obviously a little impatient. "If you want so many technical details and ideas, how many words does it take? How long does it take to send?"
"Since the battle tonight, only two telegrams have been sent from my fleet. The first telegram was in response to General Benson. I reminded him. The second telegram was sent to General Fletcher, asking him Immediately step up vigilance and warn General Pershing at the same time. I think things are very abnormal today." Su Xiong said.
"Your telegram is too simple. You should explain this kind of thing more clearly," Nimitz said.
