The Rise of the Empire
Chapter 2590: confusion
"The battle needs to continue. Today, the loss suffered by the Weimar will surely be doubled by the Japanese in the future! So, General Ryder, I hope you can start from the overall situation and help me complete today's battle. The battle that comes down will be more **** and cruel! We may lose more colleagues, but we have no choice today!" Su Xiong, as the military chief, had already made the final decision when he said this. ! Subsequently, Su Xiong ordered the fleet to release smoke again and quickly evacuate the battlefield before the Japanese fleet can re-establish effective command!
"Damn it, what is Kantarou Suzuki doing?" Shitaro Yoshimatsu said angrily. Just as Su Xiong and Raidel were arguing over the fate of Weimar, the Japanese fleet also had problems at this critical moment! Originally, according to Su Xiong's estimation, it might take 15 to 20 minutes for the Japanese to rebuild command. But now, Japan needs more time!
Because, just after the battleship Fuso resumed communication, Hayao Shimamura and others suddenly discovered that the second battleship squadron was running away! After the battleship Ibuki withdrew from the battle due to injuries, the three King Kong-class battlecruisers stared at Weimar, and when Weimar left the queue and began to flee, the three Japanese battlecruisers with red eyes were in King Kong. Under the leadership of the number, he chased up without saying a word! However, at this time, neither the main flagship Fuso nor the squadron flagship Ibuki could not stop it!
So, now the problem is coming. The Japanese fleet can no longer pursue the main force of the Su Xiong fleet that is escaping from the smoke. It is not that the remaining 6 Fuso-class battleships can't beat 3 Bavaria, and it is not that the speed difference is too big, but Because if Shigeru Yoshimatsu continues to pursue Su Xiong, then the Japanese fleet will be torn into two pieces. The First Battleship Squadron will pursue Su Xiong, and three King Kong-class battlecruisers will pursue Weimar. One to the northeast and one to the northwest. By the way, there is still one Yikai who is recovering in situ! This TM is all messed up! It must be said that Brigadier General von Muller’s self-sacrifice played an important role and further disrupted the command and control of the Japanese fleet.
Well, if this kind of thing does happen, let’s not talk about it. In the end, the Japanese fleet can kill the Weimar, at least it will take a long time to gather the fleet again, and if the Americans become aware of the Japanese fleet’s exist. So the future plan for the Japanese fleet is definitely disastrous. The carbine of the Benson fleet or the Americans starting to evacuate the transport fleet will have a huge impact on the Japanese fleet's mission tonight!
(Because Su Xiong’s vital telegram was not sent due to electronic interference, so at this time, the U.S. fleet is not aware of what is happening here. But as the battle continues, the risk of exposure will increase. Bigger.)
The so-called strategic disadvantages are difficult to make up for tactically. This is like the naval battle on Midway Island in history. After the Americans have mastered the intelligence advantage, even if the Japanese naval aviation is elite, they are unable to recover. For the same reason, Betty today relies on excellent After the battle operation successfully transferred the Benson fleet away, then at the moment when he and Su Xiong met, Su Xiong was unable to face Betty head-on with his subtle tactical operations.
However, because of Brigadier General von Müller’s self-sacrifice, the German fleet recovered a little at the operational level. His actions caused even greater chaos in the plans of the Japanese fleet and gave the Su Xiong fleet sufficient Time to adjust yourself, and then continue to fight!
"What should we do?" Although Shigetaro Yoshimatsu was a little dissatisfied with the unauthorized actions of the Second Fleet, he was also a little confused now. The three fast battleships directly under the Su Xiong Fleet fled with injuries. They have lost their combat effectiveness? Won't go to war again tonight? Shitaro Yoshimatsu was afraid to confirm. And if the Japanese fleet now turns around and kills the Weimar and then heads to the Japanese landing site, this seems to be a good choice? After all, looking now, Weimar is not far from the Japanese fleet.
"Let go of the German fleet, let's go!" Betty glanced at the three Japanese battlecruisers that were still chasing the Weimar, and said with a hatred of iron and steel.
"However, we have no reason to give up the results of the battle before us. Maybe in a few minutes, we can make a history. The Imperial Japanese Navy was the first to sink a Bavarian-class battleship!" Shimamura was obviously moved.
"Yes, it is indeed an honor to be able to kill a Bavarian-class battleship, but it is nothing compared to what we should have achieved tonight. Commander, don’t forget our strategy today. Mission! Your decision is directly related to the gains and losses of the New Ireland Island and the outcome of the Pacific War!" Betty said loudly. In the eyes of outsiders, he was even stronger than the Joint Fleet Commander Yoshitaro Matsushige! He really doesn't want to stay on this battlefield anymore.
Because it doesn’t make any sense to stay here, the Su Xiong fleet has been chased and lost. Now it is obviously impossible to catch the opponent again. Before, the Japanese fleet was able to seize Su Xiong because the Su Xiong fleet sent a telegram. Then the Japanese fleet confirmed the position through radio direction finding, and then the Japanese fleet used a large number of destroyers and seaplanes to form a search line to catch the opponent.
But now ~lightnovelpub.net~ Su Xiong will definitely not send a report easily, and his destroyer has lost more than a dozen! The seaplane also needs to be recycled and refuelled with flares. All this takes time. Now, the Japanese fleet’s reconnaissance power is severely weakened. It is undoubtedly a idiotic dream to find the Su Xiong fleet that has been hiding in the night. Moreover, even if it is caught again, does the Japanese fleet really want to fight Su Xiong's fleet played a night of pursuit? What do you think? This is obviously a loss for the Japanese!
So, if possible, Betty really wants to say something to Su Xiong through some kind of hidden power, otherwise we will be like this tonight, I will let the Weimar go, and you guys don’t trouble me. ?
But obviously, Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu hesitated at this moment. He did not refute Betty's opinion, but he did not immediately order the Second Battleship Squadron to retake the fleet. Instead, he used the excuse to recover the seaplane and gather the fleet to wait in place. And this kind of behavior makes Betty jump straight! In Betty's view, this is obviously doing big things and cherishing one's life, seeing small profits and forgetting one's life! In fact, this kind of thing is also present in Japanese history. For example, in history, after Mikawa severely damaged the US fleet in the Battle of Savo Island, he let go of the transport fleet that was close at hand! The Japanese tradition is fine!
