The Rise of the Empire
Chapter 2560： Wind Rise and Cloud Chapter
Although there were some twists and turns in the United States Navy and Army Joint Conference, no matter what, the Americans solved the most important issue, that is, when will the Japanese combined fleet attack! Incidentally, the US Army’s problem was solved. In the next stage, the Japanese Army may also use the weather to launch a counterattack. This is because the visibility is beneficial to the offensive side. On the other hand, in the eyes of the Japanese Army, the US will use the weather to counterattack. There will be problems with Army supplies.
Therefore, under this premise, the U.S. Navy and Army began to adjust their deployment. Pershing’s land offensive that Pershing was planning to launch may have to be suspended. Instead, he would first fight a defensive counterattack, and then take advantage of the trend. As for the navy? It is honestly prepared to clean up the excess ships, and concentrate the remaining warships on a few more wind-sheltered anchorages to survive the severe weather during the next period of time, while reducing the defense range and concentrating the originally dispersed forces.
However, it turns out that the Americans really guessed right this time. The Japanese combined fleet is indeed preparing to launch a large-scale offensive. Originally, this offensive would have been launched in advance, but because of the wrong weather forecast in the UK, the arrival of tropical storms The estimated time was a bit late, so the offensive was delayed until now. However, no matter what, the British qualitative analysis is done right, and some mistakes in the specific date are understandable!
"What kind of stuff is this?" Betty looked at the new battle plan sent by the Japanese and felt a little headache. Previously, Betty’s suggestion to the Japanese was to launch a limited attack and use her sharpest sword, the Fuso-class battleship, to enter the landing site in the bad weather. It is best to kill a few former U.S. dreadnoughts before proceeding. It's over with a wave of transport ships, or two bombardments of temporary US ports on land. Fast in, fast out, grab a hand and leave. Then use the armored cruiser to break the ocean to further disperse the combat power of the US Navy, and then consider launching a larger-scale frontal attack.
But what was the end result? The Japanese seem to be dissatisfied with Betty's "small fight", they are going to take advantage of this bad weather to play a big game! The Japanese decided to attack the whole army!
"Don't the Japanese know that you have to eat a bite, and you have to go step by step?" Betty is very dissatisfied with this somewhat reckless plan. Let's not talk about the tactical goals. At least in this case, the entire combined fleet will work together. When attacking, concealment and coordination along the way is a problem. Even if there is bad weather as cover, the huge fleet size and possible radio communication along the way may cause the fleet to be exposed, and once the main forces of both sides encounter, then everyone knows that the Japanese can run away!
Although Betty is not optimistic about the outcome of the Japanese navy in this war, as a dedicated officer, he still tried his best to formulate a plan for the Japanese that seemed to have some chances. The core of this plan lies in constant weakening. And consumption, waiting for an opportunity in the early stage and subsequent use of bad weather to steal chickens is just the first step. Sending armored cruisers or even the quasi-fearless seized from Russia to break the relationship is the second step of consumption and delay. When the Americans had to disperse their fast fleet and the Germans to the Pacific Ocean for anti-breaking operations, the Japanese fleet had the opportunity to severely damage the remaining US Navy fleet in a head-on battle.
However, under the current situation, the Japanese are obviously impatient. The Japanese joint fleet will attack the whole army before the first step is completed! Perhaps the Japanese might take advantage of the battle damage. After all, the Japanese navy is an active offensive and its tactical literacy is indeed better than that of the Americans. However, it is estimated to suffer from a strategic disadvantage, because the US-German navy has too great an advantage, even if The battle damage ratio of the battleship is 1 for 2, and the virtues will not suffer! Moreover, this battleship is still at the level of fearless and above. If it is a former fearless battleship and armored cruiser, I am afraid that one-for-three Americans are acceptable!
Betty frowned and turned back two pages, and began to look at the Japanese navy's combat plan in detail, and when he saw the plan, Betty had a headache again. He could feel that the Japanese Navy was indeed learning the advanced experience of the world-class navy, and it was indeed improving himself. But how to say? A lot of materials were accumulated, but the biochemistry was not completed in the end. Generally speaking, the tactical details are very perfect, but the strategic level is still very problematic.
For example, in the battle mission, although the Japanese navy said that it would play a fight, the Japanese still set the target as "former dreadnought ships used to support ground operations" and "transport ships and ports." In other words, the target of the strike has not changed, but the force used to strike has increased from 4 to 6 Fuso-class battleships to 10 fast battleships in the entire combined fleet!
However, Betty felt a little bit painful, would it take 10 fast battleships to hit these targets? 10 fast battleships, if the battle line is opened, it is estimated that all of them are 4 kilometers long, right? Is it really okay to go with such an open flame? And the most important thing is that if you deal with the former fearless, you won't need such a big battle~www.novelhall.com~ After all, the US former fearless fleet is also dispersed in squadrons. Really fighting, 5 Fuso-class battleships are enough to clear 4 to 5 of the former fearless. You can't go anywhere soon if you double the number of battleships!
Well, to put it bluntly, it's a sledgehammer. However, the Japanese obviously also thought of this problem. Therefore, in the specific combat link, the force is divided into two parts. The first part is the first team composed of 6 Fuso-class battleships, and the second part is the remaining part. The second team composed of 3 King Kong-class battlecruisers and 1 fast battlecruiser, had been in trouble for a long time. It turned out that what the Japanese called a big deal was to let the two Japanese fleets disperse their attacks and steal chickens at the same time!
"This plan looks good, but the coordination of the fleet in bad weather will be very troublesome and may even drag each other down." Betty put down the plan in his hands and said to Hayao Shimamura, who was sitting on the opposite side drinking black tea. "If we only send a detachment of Fuso-class battleships, then even if we encounter the Bavarian fleet, we can also evacuate under the cover of destroyers. After all, the weather is bad, the battleship’s main guns have significantly reduced the attack range, and the Germans fear that we are in a certain The fleet is arranged everywhere, so I dare not chase deeply, but now, if we push up all the chips in our hands in one breath, the situation will be different."
