The Rise of the Empire
Chapter 2594: On the Self-cultivation of Bait 2
"Well, two people, the war is still going on. These lyrical words will wait until you celebrate victory or write your memoirs after the war! We still have business to do now! The task of luring the enemy has not been completed, and we are still short of it. Go far!" At this moment, a slightly rude voice interrupted the conversation between the two. And speaking, it was Rear Admiral Moore, a special officer of the Royal Navy.
"But we have already sent off two slow battleships." Yamamoto Fifty-Six said in surprise.
"We are bait ourselves. Have you ever caught fish? Do you know what a bait is? A bait is that no matter whether we can catch a fish in the end, we all have to sacrifice! Do you understand this? For a bait, the best The result is that we are dead, and then let the fisherman catch the fish, and if there is a decoupling, even if we eventually survive, we are the bait of failure! At that time, people will say that you will not even die!" Mu Major General Er said mercilessly.
"What do you mean, is to slow down our fleet, and then let the Americans catch up and sink one by one?" Others in the mountain house said with some dissatisfaction, after all, no one wants to die!
"Slowing down is necessary. Only when Americans see hope, they will chase us. But first, we must give a reason to slow down! Understand? I mean reason. We must make our actions look in American eyes. Not so pretentious! Let them feel that it is logical that the Royal Navy has already prepared for you in this regard, it is time to let those special smoke cans work." Major General Moore said.
To tell the truth, the British Royal Navy's senior officials have definitely improved several levels in the details of the battle tactics after the training of the Great War. Betty will not say anything. He now has the command ability and battle command ability of the large fleet surpassed Su Xiong. However, in terms of specific details, it was a little worse than Su Xiong, who fought small-scale fleet battles all day long. In addition, the Japanese fleet level was not as strong as that of Germany, which allowed Su Xiong to escape at a relatively small price.
And Moore? This buddy goes further and further on the road of disguise and deception! So much so! First of all, the first problem he solved was the camouflage problem of the fleet! Don't forget, in the previous battle, the Japanese fleet invested 10 battleships. Now, there are only 6 regular battleships in the Yamaya Other Fleet, so what about the other 4 ships?
You know, 10 and 6, there is a big gap between these two numbers! Even in a night battle environment, the large gap between the estimated number of battleships before and after is also a cause of suspicion. If you say that there are 10 battleships in total, there are only 8 to 9 ships. Then this can be explained as being inaccurate. But with 6 ships, this is unlikely, at least, the top US Navy will definitely be whispering!
Well, do you know how Major General Moore solved it? It's simple! Isn’t the capital ship not enough? Use a light cruiser! At the request of the major general, the Japanese Navy specially modified two light cruisers. This modification is very simple, except that some light sources are installed in some positions of the hull! You must know that even if the lights are controlled, some lights will still be on, and these lights will unintentionally mark the outline or even the size of the ship! And some experienced people will judge the nature of the battleship based on this outline!
And Major General Moore operates based on these experiences! He deliberately increased the position of some additional light sources to make these lights appear to be higher, and in the distance, when you infer the bridge corresponding to the battleship based on these lights, you feel that the bridge is larger because of the position of the light source. higher!
As for the length? This is also very easy to handle. Add some light sources at the end of the hull. You must know that under normal circumstances, the front deck and rear deck of a battleship have no light sources. If these light sources are added, they will be against the battleship in the eyes of outsiders. The length is misjudged. After all, the corresponding relationship between the light source and the length of a normal light cruiser may be the distance between the farthest light source plus 30 meters. But now, the distance between your furthest light sources has increased, so the inference of the shape of the battleship will naturally cause problems! Therefore, in the night, these two light cruisers played the role of battleships!
Okay, maybe someone asked, what if the other party gets closer? Isn't it easy? Wouldn't you just put these two light cruisers at the front of the marching line? According to the general rule, in this chase situation, the US destroyer must also look for the last two warships in the queue to attack. After all, the distance is the closest and the defense is the weakest! Are you rushing to the front and waiting to be sifted by the side cannons of other warships?
Of course, in order to perform a scene well, in addition to good hardware, the actors must also be professional. For example, properly control the speed of the battleships and spread the distance between the battleships. This will make the opponent feel The rush to the fugitive, too, because the distance between the light cruiser in front and the US fleet is opened, it will make it more difficult for the other party to discover the truth! In this regard, what the Japanese did before can only be considered quite satisfactory!
So, so far, Major General Moore's deception has done very well! In the eyes of the U.S. Fleet ~lightnovelpub.net~ I have been chasing a fleet of 8 to 10 warships! Without realizing that he was only chasing 6 former Dreadnoughts! Judging from this point alone, Major General Moore is already a genius! But in fact, Major General Moore did better!
Others in Yamaya are right. After throwing away the two battleships, there are actually some reasons why the Japanese fleet wants to continue to attract the US fleet. After all, you can take two former fearless ships and throw them away at a slow speed. There are so many slow-speed battleships in the fleet. If you run at a slower speed, it will be a little contrived. The Americans may eventually see some clues. At this time, it is time for the second system prepared by Major General Moore to debut. , That is a special smoking pot!
The Japanese need to give the Americans a reason to slow down the warship! If Major General Moore provided a reason, this reason would be the last smoker on the Rurik-class battleship! This kind of smoke canister is different from the general smoke canister, which just releases smoke, and this one simulates the fire after being shot! The US fleet is actually firing at other Japanese warships. In theory, it is difficult to hit the opponent with such visibility, but who can say that there is no accident? Therefore, Major General Moore decided to throw a third decoy-a Japanese battleship that slowed down because of a shot! Use this to delay more time!
