Chapter 2865 Broken Friendship 1
"That's good. As long as we know the dispatch time of the Christmas Island watering fleet, we can naturally send aircraft or small warships to track it. And if Christmas Island wants to replenish the transport fleet, we will definitely make radio contact. We can try to determine the opponent's position through radio positioning. In addition to the large number of reconnaissance aircraft on the aircraft carrier, it seems that it is not difficult for us to find the opponent," Shimamura Soo said with a smile.
"Yes, as long as we focus on this water replenishment station, we can at least intercept a large transport fleet, but your idea is definitely not just this ticket. Just imagine, if the Americans suddenly find that dozens of ships in one of their large transport fleets are ambushed by the large fleet, then what will they do at least suspend the route and require the ships on this route to return or divert the route immediately. It will be a little difficult for us to ambush the next ship." Betty said meaningfully.
"So do you have any ideas?" asked Shigetaro Yoshimatsu.
"It's not simple, so naturally I will continue to catch it by changing the route," Betty said. This is like a very famous game in later generations, or a type of game, such as O or Dota as a hero of a roaming killer. If you catch a line, you will collapse and then the other party is alert and huddled under the tower so that you can't do it. So what should I do? Naturally, I will continue to catch it by changing the route, or how can I wait for the rabbit?
"We have said before that the US Navy has two main transportation channels. After we severely hit the route through Christmas Island, the Americans will definitely increase the transportation efforts of Pearl Harbor and then sail to the southwest. In this case, we can consider deploying a submarine cordon in some waters. Although it cannot be tracked, we can also know the general navigation data of the other party. At this time, we rely on carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft for reconnaissance and can always catch a fleet. As long as the fleet is disbanded early without receiving the alarm, it means that more than 200,000 tons of record will be recorded for us." Betty said.
"That is to say, according to your opinion, before the US Navy reacts, we can get two attack opportunities. If we can grasp it well, we may have a record of 400,000 to 500,000 tons. This is a terrifying number. If we can do better, it seems impossible to force the Americans to surrender." When I thought that the transport ship calculated by hundreds of thousands of tons was easily killed by myself, Shimamura Soo was also a little wandering.
"Is this 500,000 tons a record, which is really amazing in terms of quantity, but I can tell you clearly that this loss is painful to the Americans, but it is definitely not a damaging one. Although the size of the American fleet is only the third in the world, its shipbuilding ability is the world's first. If the Japanese Navy cannot guarantee an average of more than 600,000 tons of ships per month and lasts for one year, it will be impossible to force the United States to surrender by breaking war at sea."
"You know, it's also a battle, the Germans are much better than your country. When they were at the peak of the battle at sea, they had been sinking for half a year, and the total tonnage of merchant ships in the Allied countries that had sunk every month exceeded 800,000 tons, the highest record was 950,000 tons, even so, we still persisted for more than a year," Betty said. His expression seemed a little contempt in the eyes of the Japanese, and more of it was rare and strange.
Although Japan is a little stronger than in history, at this point in time, Japan is still far inferior to the world's first-class force. Think about it, during the war, the German fleet fought with the British fleet in the North Sea, and broke through submarines, and finally destroyed the 15 million tons of transport ship tonnage of the Allied Power and the British fleet. What a powerful and fruitful way. Where are the Japanese talents?
In the historical war, the peak of Germany's war breaking out seems to have destroyed 870,000 tons of transport ships in the Allied Power in one month. During the entire World War, the German Navy sank a total of 12284,000 tons of transport ships in the Allied Power, while the Germans lost 178 submarines. What does this mean? An average loss of one submarine can be exchanged for 30 transport ships with a total tonnage of 690,000 tons. This result is 4 times and 2 times the German submarine war exchange ratio during the Second World War.
"Uh. But no matter what, if we can achieve this goal, it will be a big victory." Shimamura Soo said with some embarrassment.
"Yes, just be happy." Betty resisted his desire to complain and said. In Betty's opinion, there are many generals with relatively high tactical skills in the Japanese Navy. After all, the Japanese Navy has participated in the war and fought more. As long as they survive, they can learn a little. The Japanese Navy does have unique features in tactics and training, but the Japanese Navy lacks a real strategic master. What is a strategy that breaks out of tactical success or failure and directly meets the outcome of the war is called strategy
For example, before the war began, Crown Prince Ruprecht sent Earl of Spee to the Mediterranean Sea to integrate the Mediterranean fleet, allowing Su Xiong to take two super fearless ships to the Indian Ocean. This is the strategy that dispersed naval battles to three battlefields that could not be supported by each other, forcing the Allied fleet to be dispersed. The powerful British fleet sent precious fleets to support these sub-battlefields again and again, thus weakening the advantages of the local fleet, thus allowing the Crown Prince to seize opportunities repeatedly and reverse the disadvantage bit by bit. The strategic layout and tactical success made the British fleet fail.
However, judging from the current war, the Japanese Navy has many proactive attacks, but it is mainly tactical counterattacks, such as night attacks to reduce the defensive pressure on New Ireland. However, it lacks strategic offensives. Relatively speaking, the Americans have great strategic significance for the offensives launched by the Lagen Islands. Although the tactical level can be described as failure, it hit Japan's war potential and won the time for forward advancement. The Americans' offensive was proactive and active. When Betty wanted the Japanese fleet to launch such an offensive, the Japanese were indeed confused and hesitant. Indeed, the strong national strength of the United States gave the American fleet a very high fault tolerance rate, but the Japanese's conservatism was also an unavoidable problem.
"Okay, now we'll have one of your favorite links, tactical discussions," Betty said.
