The Rise of the Empire
Chapter 2651： East Pacific Ocean
And just as the US and Germany were negotiating in Munich, the Pacific once again became unstable. As Ruprecht said, when the main force of the Japanese fleet died down, the Japanese ocean-going fleet was following Betty’s Imagine that the battle has started. At this time, in the East Pacific, a small fleet is sailing at high speed avoiding all conventional routes.
"Nishin Maru is here, they will bring us the last supply before the battle." An officer said to Yamamoto Fifty-Six.
"Very well, let Yamagiri receive supplies first, and our Asagiri must be completed within 6 hours afterwards." Yamamoto Fifty-Six did not pay attention to this subordinate, but moved to the side. Lieutenant General Stetti, the former commander of the Royal Navy's squadron, looking at the charts.
"You are now looking for delicious prey?" Yamamoto Fifty-Six said.
"Yes, I'm looking for a prey that is large enough, but at the same time it will not make us feel difficult to fight, you know, although the Asagiri and Shangiri are called fast battleships in your formation, in fact, It's just a high-speed modification of the old dreadnought, not even as good as the original dreadnought." Stetti said.
"If you face the dreadnought, two hits one is actually fine." Yamamoto Fifty-Six said.
"You are wrong, and your starting point is wrong. The core task of breaking the ocean is to destroy the opponent's transport ship as much as possible and cause chaos on the sea transportation line, not to sink the opponent's warship. If it is not necessary, We must try to avoid fighting with any large enemy battleships, even cruisers. Because we are alone and deep, the scars of each battle are difficult for us to repair, which will affect our state and shorten our hunting At the time, as a commander, sometimes we have to recognize our mission and refuse some temptations at the same time." Lieutenant General Stetti turned around and said after putting down the slide rule in his hand.
"Then you have chosen the target to attack now?" Yamamoto Fifty-Six asked.
"Natural selection is good. If our information is correct, in 3 days, we will get the first big victory!" With that, Stetti pointed the Panama Canal on the map with his finger, and then drew it here. One circle! "This will be the first node we attacked."
"The Americans deployed a large number of artillery around the Panama Canal. It is not realistic to attack the canal," Yamamoto said.
"Naturally, we will not attack the Canal Zone. We do not have this ability. We are just waiting for the prey to come to the door far away from the detection range of the Americans! As the most critical transportation node connecting the east and west of the United States, a large number of transportation fleets pass by every day. , We can easily sit back and wait, and there must be no large ships of the US Navy here." Lieutenant General Stetti said.
"We may stay here for a day or two to attract American fleets, and then we will go south and throw them away to create conditions for our other broken fleet to enter the Northeast Pacific. We need to expand the hunting grounds so that the United States People’s limited forces are spread over a wider range."
Stetti's tactical thinking is still very clear. In addition to destroying American transport ships and disrupting the order of shipping, he must also contain opponents' forces and create opportunities for other warships or submarines. Let the entire U.S. Navy's **** force be exhausted, so as to maximize the significance of breaking the diplomatic relationship.
"By the way, your lord, this is the whereabouts of the tiger shark submarine group. They have arrived at the predetermined area." At this moment, Yamamoto 56 sent a telegram to Stetti, and the one who sent the telegram It is a Japanese submarine team that performs the task of breaking the handoff. This submarine group consists of a total of 8 submarines, all of which are L-shaped submarines purchased by Japan from the United Kingdom. The surface displacement is about 1,000 tons, with 6 533MM torpedo tubes and 2 deck guns. It is currently the largest ocean-going submarine in Japan.
"Thank you." Lieutenant General Stetti nodded, and then he marked the location of the tiger shark submarine group on the chart, which was 200 kilometers southwest of the Panama Canal. It almost coincides with the ambush area where the Yamamoto fleet arrived.
"Are we going to cooperate with the submarine force this time?" Yamamoto Fifty-Six was a little surprised. According to his understanding, the submarine force can be dispersed. It is really rare for such a large-scale concentration and cooperation with large surface ships.
"Of course, this is the tactic that the Germans gave us. In fact, even the most advanced warships are always inefficient when facing enemy transport ships scattered around, and the Germans came up with a way to use Large surface warships destroy the opponent’s **** force, and then use submarines to siege the undefended merchant ships from multiple directions. The results can be maximized. After all, for an unprotected slow transport ship, the submarine’s torpedoes and The battleship’s heavy artillery is equally deadly. Just like Su Xiong attacked us and your fleet in the Indian Ocean. But the only difference is that sometimes Su Xiong will take some camouflage cruisers instead of submarines." Lieutenant General explained.
"Is this an improvement of the German wolf pack tactics? The German submarines often attack the transport fleet in groups at night~www.novelhall.com~ Some submarines are responsible for containing the destroyers, and some are responsible for attacking the transport fleet. They are like ghosts, erratic and slaughter in the dark." Yamamoto Fifty-Six said.
"You only look like you. In essence, you are far from the Germans. The German submarine force is a real system of warfare. Each of their submarines is a sentinel and a hunter. All of their actions can get far. With the support of German information, after each submarine discovers its target, it can communicate with each other through a confidential and convenient radio system, and then launch an attack after several days of planning and maneuvering. The various camouflage ships all over the ocean will require submarines. The supply and weapons of the Germans were sent up, and the telegrams from the headquarters were forwarded in due course. The camouflage supply system, the cooperation between the submarines, and the coordination from the shore facilities. All these have doubled the power of the German submarines. They formed a complete set of Strategy, and we, at best, are planning a battle."
"Your use of submarines is still more in single-boat operations. There is no complete intelligence system and supply system. It is possible to plan a battle in a short time, but you lack the ability to allow a large number of submarines to perform systematic tasks at sea for a long time. Ability." Studdy said.
