The mature Betty naturally would not forget the escaped Su Xiong fleet, and he also accurately estimated the possible actions Su Xiong might take next. Betty was sure that if there were no accidents, this guy would never miss the battle. So Betty naturally had to guard against the Su Xiong fleet that suddenly came out!

And Betty also realized that if Su Xiong launched an attack, he would definitely not look for the six Fusang-class battleships of the First Battleship Squadron, which would be a death. Therefore, it is extremely likely that Su Xiong would look for the King Kong-class battleship cruiser of the Second Battleship Squadron, and use his absolute strength to kill the King Kong-class battleship. Although the Japanese strengthened the dome armor of the King Kong-class battleship cruiser, and then licked his face and said that this was a fast battleship, to be honest, the improvement of defense is really limited. Betty does not expect the King Kong-class to be able to walk for several rounds in the hands of the Su Xiong fleet, and be killed in seconds after a few minutes of war!

If several King Kong-class battlecruisers were sunk in this naval battle, it is questionable whether this battle is really cost-effective. It can even be said that the Japanese fleet won a temporary victory but lost its future! So, no matter what, Betty must find ways to protect several King Kong-class ships while attacking the US transport fleet. These crispy skins are really too weak.

"Disassemble the fleet, 3 Fuso-class battleships bring 2 battlecruisers. It is best to arrange the position of the battlecruisers in the middle of the fleet. This position is the least likely to be fired by fire." Betty said. Generally speaking, if the attack position can be selected, the first battleship of the attacking team is the best. After all, it can forcefully suppress the opponent's formation. When the attacking party is weak, it is also possible to choose a suitable angle to catch the team's tail, because the attacking party is due to the formation problem, the main gun on the front battleship may be affected by the shooting boundary issue.

Only when attacking the warships in the middle is difficult. If you want a suitable attack angle, the attacking fleet will be exposed to the firepower coverage of the entire attacking fleet. Therefore, this ensures the safety of the fragile battlecruisers to the greatest extent.

Although there are still two squadrons after this distribution, the combat effectiveness is much more balanced. If each fleet has 3 Fuso-class battleships as its core, even if the Su Xiong fleet comes again, the Japanese fleet will be fearless. And even in the worst case, one of the separated Japanese fleets was besieged by all the U.S. and Germany fleets, at least it will be balanced! In other words, after Betty's adjustment, the Japanese fleet has become much more stable!

"Okay, then let's do it first. Although after such adjustments, command and maneuver will be a little troublesome. But the safety of the warship is the first priority." Shigetaro Yoshimatsu finally agreed.

So, at Betty's suggestion, the huge Japanese joint fleet used the last period before the attack to launch the fleet to reorganize the fleet. A destroyer team was deployed in the west, opening a cordon, alerting to the Benson fleet that might come over. The main fleet was divided into two parts and prepared to enter the battlefield from two directions. The light cruiser team formed a third attack team with some destroyers, responsible for attacking targets with relatively small tonnage and faster speed. In other words, on this battlefield, the Japanese fleet's offensive forces were divided into three parts! A mixed force of two main ship teams and a cruiser destroyer.

To be honest, Betty's mobilization and adjustment can be said to be perfect, because after this change, both Fletcher and Su Xiong were ready to attack the King Kong-class battlecruiser and were all in a flash. After all, when dealing with King Kong, you also need to consider the blow from the Fuso class.

However, all these adjustments come at a cost. On the one hand, it naturally takes a certain amount of time, and on the other hand, it is an indispensable communication within the fleet! At night, both lights and radio will lead to a result, that is, the exposure of your own position!

"I found them! It was the Japanese fleet, they were finally here!" At this time, an American destroyer hidden in the night discovered the Japanese joint fleet that was being adjusted while patrolling. Dozens of various warships completed the transformation and coordination of their queues in the vast sea.

"Okay, prepare to send a telegram and tell General Fleche the location of the Japanese." At this time, Halsey, who was the captain of the destroyer DD135, looked at the Japanese fleet that was looming in the night in the distance. Logically speaking, most people may be terrified in their hearts when seeing a fleet of this size, but Halsey is different. He likes war and enjoys the critical moment when fighting! He is brave and enterprising, and does not know what fear is!

"Captain, are we going to avoid it?" asked an officer.

"Call the other destroyers here, we are ready to take action when we see the plane!" Halsey looked at the Japanese fleet in the distance and ordered. "In addition, if we get closer, the Japanese seem to have some special actions!"

The destroyer DD135 naturally exposed its position while sending the report, but the Japanese fleet did not take any substantial action. On the one hand, it was because the Japanese fleet was marshaling. On the other hand, it was because there were very few auxiliary warships in the fleet. At this time, using the main ship or even a light cruiser to attack a destroyer was a huge waste of resources. To be honest, tonight, before launching the final attack, the ammunition used and the losses suffered by the Japanese fleet had exceeded expectations. Do you know what the worst thing is for a hunter? That is, looking at a large group of prey, the hunting rifle in his hand had no bullets!

"Hold the grass, what is this operation?" Halsey, who had been wandering around the Japanese fleet, was the first person in the entire German fleet to find that the Japanese fleet was in a complex formation. Shortly after he issued the alarm signal, the American seaplane that had been wandering in the nearby waters finally arrived. When seaplanes threw a large number of flares above the Japanese heads, Halsey discovered the changes in the Japanese fleet!

"Alarm! The Japanese fleet has changed its marshalling! Their 10 fast warships seem to be divided into two equal teams!" When this information was transmitted to the ears of Old Fletcher and Su Xiong along the radio waves, both of them felt a chill in their hearts!

"It seems that our battle tonight will be very troublesome." Su Xiong looked at the Japanese fleet that was already covered by flares in the distance with a gloomy face.

"It's really easy to leak! I'm afraid that there are only British people except us for such a sophisticated deployment." Redel said leisurely.
Chapter completed!
