Bright Sword Military System

Wang Xuexin even added strength to the devil's panic. He sent two destroyers to fight guerrillas. When the devil's nerves had just relaxed, he suddenly appeared and fired a few shots before turning around and running away.

The Eighth Route Army is equipped with Mao Xiong's "Wrath-class" destroyers.

The bear destroyer may have a small gun caliber and poor accuracy, and the electronic equipment is backward, and even the various equipment has been aging ahead of time due to maintenance problems, but it has an advantage, that is, the engine is powerful and fast... The speed of the wrath-class destroyer can reach an astonishing 37 Even 38 knots.

At the same time, the Guizi Akizuki-class destroyer, known as the second strongest navy in the world, had a speed of only 33 knots.

The Eagle Navy was already truly the number one in the world during this period. The Fletcher-class main destroyer it developed in 1940 could only reach a speed of 37 knots.

Because the "Wrath Class" has such an excellent speed, it is most suitable for playing guerrilla warfare with devils at night.

Wang Xuexin's combat thinking is to first use night fighters to gain air supremacy.

Once it has mastered the air supremacy, the devil fleet is almost blind at night.

The reason why I say "almost" is that the Devil's warship is also equipped with radar, but the poor performance of the radar is one reason, and the other reason is that no matter how advanced the radar on the warship is, it can only detect forty kilometers.

Wang Xuexin believes that if a destroyer approached head-on while knowing the route of the Devils fleet, the Devils radar might not be able to find the target and thus would not be able to play an early warning role.

This is because the radar reflection area is small when approaching head-on, and it is another destroyer. If the Devil's radar can detect it within a range of 12 kilometers from the "Furious Class", it may be more advanced than Yingjiang's radar.

What's more, the task of the "Wrath Class" is not to blow up or sink a certain warship, its purpose is to harass, even if it is detected by the devil's radar, it can just turn around and leave at full speed.

Sure enough, after three times of such harassment, the Japanese were beaten into a state of extreme tension, and even a shell directly hit the aircraft carrier "Zuikaku" where Toshihei Inoguchi was the flagship.

The shell has no effect in essence. The caliber of the "Wrath-class" artillery is only 130MM, and it is difficult for it to cause damage to the aircraft carrier.

But the shell hit the devil's heart firmly: they hadn't even discovered the location of the Eighth Route Army fleet, and the shells from the Eighth Route Army fleet had already hit their flagship.

Although the devils knew about the "Wrath-class" destroyers that came to sneak attack, they found that they could do nothing:
All the planes couldn't take off because they didn't have night combat capabilities, and the "Moonlight" with night combat capabilities was no match for the opponent's night fighters at all. Taking off was tantamount to suicide, so it couldn't continue to track the target.

The range of the battleship can be obtained, but the speed is too slow to catch up.

Although the speed of the destroyer is slower, it is possible for the opponent to turn around and approach, but the opponent fires at the farthest range, and it is almost impossible to hit if it approaches without entering the range of the destroyer.

Throughout the night Toshihei Inoguchi and his fleet were tense, as was another Second Fleet near the HLD.

Because Toshihei Inoguchi was worried that the Eighth Route Army was probably playing a trick of "striking east and attacking west". They sent destroyers to harass the first fleet while the main force went to HLD to attack the second fleet.

Therefore, the Second Fleet also sailed urgently and prepared for battle in the dark.

It wasn't until the sky gradually brightened that Inoguchi Toshihei breathed a sigh of relief. He stood on the command deck and watched "Zero War" fly on the deck, and the tense muscles all over his body also relaxed.

"The Eighth Route Army is nothing more than that!" Toshihei Inoguchi said proudly, "I thought they would take advantage of the night to launch at least one general attack!"

"So now!" the staff officer said, "Does this mean that the Eighth Route Army has lost the chance to defeat us?"

Inoguchi Minpei carefully reviewed the current situation in his mind, and then nodded: "You can say that!"

In Inoguchi Toshihei's view, last night should be the only chance for the Eighth Route Army's coastal defense regiment to seriously damage its fleet.

The Imperial Fleet was exhausted from the battle last night. If the Eighth Route Army launched a general offensive in the early hours of the morning, even Toshihei Inoguchi would not dare to say who would win and who would lose in this battle.

Now, since we know that the Eighth Route Army has such an offensive strategy, there will be no second time.

Toshihei Inoguchi has already made a decision. After cooperating with the army to take down Donggang today, he will immediately order the marines to go ashore to deploy anti-aircraft firepower.

In this way, when it gets dark, the fleet can stay in the port with peace of mind instead of worrying outside.

As for daytime, with Zero War here, there is nothing to be afraid of!

But after thinking about it, Toshihei Inoguchi said doubtfully, "The Eighth Route Army clearly had the upper hand last night. Why didn't they seize this opportunity?"

The staff officer replied: "Maybe, it's because the Eighth Route Army only has this fleet!"

Toshihei Inoguchi nodded in agreement.

The staff's statement is very convincing.

If the Eighth Route Army had two or more fleets, it might have attacked last night.

But they only have one fleet!
A fleet means that they dare not "decisive battle" with the enemy casually, otherwise even if they win after the first battle, their strength will be greatly reduced. The result is that the imperial fleet can do whatever they want.

Therefore, the Eighth Route Army did not dare to attack easily because of strategic restrictions.

At this time, the correspondent stepped forward and reported: "Your Excellency, the general asked us to return to Donggang immediately to assist the army in attacking!"

If it is according to Toshihei Inoguchi's personal opinion, he is more inclined to search for the Eighth Route Army fleet on the sea and fight a big battle.

After all, he has been suffocated by his harassment all night, and not having any results now may affect morale.

However, Toshihei Inoguchi eventually gave up on this tantalizing idea.

The reason is that without the cooperation of the navy, the army may not be able to capture Donggang today.

If the army can't take Donggang, it means that the fleet will face the dilemma of last night again after dark, unless it can be sure to wipe out the Eighth Route Army's coastal defense regiment during the day.

After thinking about it again and again, Inoguchi Toshihei finally chose to return to Donggang.

He said to the staff officer: "We should calm down, ensure our own safety first, and then consider destroying the enemy! Don't worry about the Eighth Route Army's coastal defense regiment running away, they will come to us by themselves!"

Toshihei Inoguchi is right, this is also the original intention of Toshihei Inoguchi:
As long as the fleet continues to cooperate with the army to win, the Eighth Route Army's coastal defense regiment will have to fight against the Imperial Fleet.

Otherwise, sooner or later the fleet of the Eighth Route Army will be reduced to the point where there is not even a port to anchor.

But what Inoguchi Toshihei did not expect was that not only did he fail to guarantee "self-safety", but he led the fleet into a trap!
