The Rise of the Empire

To tell the truth, compared to strategy, the Japanese performed really well at the tactical level, especially during on-the-spot battles! Don’t watch the Japanese fleet deflate from time to time when fighting against Su Xiong Raidel, you have to know that Su Xiong and Raidel’s small-scale fleet micro-management is definitely the world's top level! Give him 4 battleships, and they can make fun of them! Betty’s fleet command is actually excellent. At the beginning, he was only targeted by the crown prince in the Battle of Doger Sandbar. The latter, as a translator, was quite accurate in Betty’s character, and Betty took a lot of action throughout the battle. This remedy is somewhat useful.

And if you look at the macro situation of the battlefield, the Japanese fleet is actually a level higher than the US fleet in terms of training level and tactical performance! For example, in the final stage of the naval battle on New Ireland, the Japanese fleet directly picked out the Texas with a beautiful carbine. This maneuvering is very classic. In the Sulawesi Sea battle that just ended, the Japanese navy's performance was also outstanding.

Since its establishment, the Japanese Navy has had a characteristic, that is, the navy pays great attention to tactical issues, and they can thoroughly study the tactics of the battle, especially in the state of frontal engagement of the fleet. This was actually reflected in the second war in history. The quality of the aircraft carrier squadron is good, and the surface ship artillery battle is the same. For example, when the Japanese cruiser squadron and the Shikoku fleet began to fight in Southeast Asia, it was a big victory. In the night battles on Guadalcanal, Japan also had a good record. Sometimes the defeat was due to a big difference in strength. For example, when Kirishima was beaten by Washington, the US fleet dispatched two battleships, even in South Dakota. In the case of losing the chain, the Americans are still the advantage!

Betty is still quite satisfied with the level of engagement of the Japanese Navy's fleet, but how to use a large-scale fleet to start with a huge transport fleet consisting of 70 or more transport ships is different, because as The attacking party requires you to destroy as many transport ships as possible. There are more than 70 transport ships, even if the average speed is only 10 knots. If you get the news in advance and then disperse directly, it is really not easy to catch!

There are only 6 main battleships in the Japanese fleet, and the aircraft carrier squadron can only participate in the war to a limited extent. Otherwise, once its full strength is exposed, it will not be easy to think about the US fleet later. There are some destroyers, but a few must be left to provide cover for aircraft carriers and supply ships, and to be honest, if a destroyer is used to hunt a transport ship alone, what if the other party is an armed merchant ship? You may not be able to beat the opponent in 1V1!

Therefore, for a certain scale of fleet break, the Japanese are completely newcomers. In this regard, only Su Xiong has actual combat experience. After all, they also brought two super fearless, several camouflage cruisers and submarines. Performed the hunting! But the British are not without a say, because from the perspective of the enemy, the British, as the attacked party, have also studied how to defend against the opponent's fleet-level attack. And based on years of experience of being beaten, the British still have some experience!

"From a tactical level, I think if we want to siege a large-scale fleet, then there are two most important points. The first is how to make our fleet concealed and close to the opponent, especially our capital ship. We should not be discovered by the American fleet prematurely, causing the other side to flee. The other aspect is how to limit the other side's transport ship to a smaller area, or to drive them directly into our pockets. This is all the problems we need to face." Betty said.

"As for approaching the opponent in a concealed manner, I think it is best to approach the opponent at dawn. We approach the opponent from the west of the American fleet. At dawn, the sun illuminates the east first, and we are still protected by the night. The overall heading of the U.S. fleet is from east to west, and we just started intercepting from the front."

"In order to prevent the US fleet from disbanding and fleeing in all directions, we should also deploy the fleet separately. Each battleship carries a small number of destroyers. The destroyers are responsible for attacking small ships or intercepting opponents, while battleships are used for Killing. Several small fleets cooperate with each other to encircle and suppress this kind of efficiency is the highest. Of course, this is a test of our fleet cooperation and judgment of the situation, the Americans are likely to focus on the frigate to launch a surprise attack in a certain direction, but temporarily The opening of a gap. In some cases, lightning strikes from auxiliary cruisers or destroyers are difficult to entangle." Suzuki Kantarou said.

This is not to say that auxiliary cruisers and destroyers can pose a great threat to battleships, but because if the battle is delayed for more than ten minutes, then at least other ships can go out from all directions for several kilometers! You must know that some fleets have an average speed of only 8 to 10 knots, which does not mean that the maximum speed is 8 to 10 knots, nor does it mean that there will be no higher speed merchant ships. It's just that this speed is very economical and very suitable for formation heading. After all, you can't expect a group of civilian ships to be of the same level as the Navy, right?

But if you want to escape, it’s different~www.readwn.com~ Even if it’s a steam engine, you can also use strong pressure ventilation to increase the speed, and some merchant ships that carry important equipment and run faster will definitely accelerate, a 10 In fact, it is normal for a few ships with a maximum speed of 15 knots or more in the fleet of knots, and these ships are often high-value targets, and even carry smoke cans or light artillery, which are the kind of destroyers to fight. It is estimated that it can't be beaten, the battleship chasing it may waste time. After all, you chasing a boat with a speed of 10 knots and chasing a boat with a speed of 15 knots and a smoke can are two concepts! In this plane, the German navy’s attacks on the British fleet were not always successful, and there were times when the results were not good because of the outstanding performance of the **** fleet, so Kantaro Suzuki raised this question very pertinently.

"Smoke cans are indeed a problem. This will greatly reduce the accuracy of naval guns. It is okay to waste some secondary artillery shells, but if we want to attack a target 15 kilometers away, we can only use the main gun. After all, the secondary gun has a very limited range, and if we waste too many main artillery shells on a merchant ship, then it is not worth it for us. After all, sailing on the sea, it is difficult for us to supplement the main artillery shells. And our main guns will be reserved for American battleships," said Yasuo Shimura.
