167 Decisive Battle! Iron Bottom Strait(11)
"The purpose of this third strategy meeting is to discuss the next offensive operations, due to your efforts and the first victory won by the Southern Cross Fleet for us, we have now been able to enter the New British Isles, and now our mine formation is conducting the third patrol and sweep of the area, and our fleet has cleared the waters near Yap Island of the hidden enemy, and we can also advance forward in a big way in the future, so the problem comes."
Hirohiko patted the table, then put down the battle report in his hand, picked up the paintbrush used to sketch the strategic map, and put on a pair of glasses.
"The problem we are facing now is that after breaking through the bottleneck of the New British Isles, in order to attack the waters of Kuah Island, we must advance, and we also know that the entrance to the waters of Kuah Island is not suitable for the large fleet to go hand in hand, and the rotation of the hull and the speed of the current in the waters of Kuah Island are not conducive to the action of many warships together, so this operation will be a surprise battle of small forces, we will march from the two teams to the waters of Kuah Island, because it is a small force alone raid, so we will set the battlefield as ......"
Hirohiko took a deep breath.
"Night Fight!"
This decision is undoubtedly a bold one, because in the night battle, both the enemy and the enemy have advantages and disadvantages.
And for the fleet with the air carrier as the backbone, this is undoubtedly like suicide.
But Hirohiko obviously did not include his fleet in this strategic battle, but shared this heavy responsibility with everyone.
It's not that it's cowardice, but the Hirohiko fleet, which is based on the air carrier, is really not suitable for this kind of night battle.
"Night fight...... There is really no problem with the choice, I agree with the strategy this time, but this time the strategic grouping, Admiral Hirohiko, how are you going to distribute it? There is a possibility of a slight imbalance in the current combat power. ”
The balance of combat power has always been the focus of different opinions.
Prior to this, the equipment performance and intelligence of the deep-sea ship reported by Locat have become a major consideration for everyone.
After all, no one wants their own side to be impeached, and the enemy is good at it.
It's human nature to think about the best and the worst outcome in everything.
"In terms of combat strength, I decided to combine the New West Village Fleet with the Northern Fleet, and the Southern Cross Fleet will combine with my Snow Wind and other combat forces to participate in the attack, in addition to retaining the escort, transport, and alert fleets, all members will be put into battle and strike in a wave attack."
"I don't have an opinion, it's better to say that the Admiral convened this meeting just to inform tactics, right?"
Although Hirohiko didn't have such intentions, he nodded anyway.
"Because in this case, it is difficult to have a better way to play, while the other side is attacked, I will use my fleet to intercept any reinforcements that may appear on the other side, if the progress is ideal, I can probably break the enemy before dawn, and then I will intercept the opponent's support troops, so that you can retreat calmly, of course, this is the best situation I can predict."
Hirohiko paused and sighed.
"The worst-case scenario is that our side is all in a bitter battle, and it will be stalemate until the next day, and most of it may be damaged, because I can't rule out the possibility that the opponent's combat power is above ours."
In fact, such a scenario is already an extremely optimistic estimate.
According to Hirohiko's prediction, the worst-case scenario for our side is very likely to be a bombardment, and of course, this is also something he does not want to see.
Now I can only pray that my war chess deduction is correct, and it will not be like those stupid military experts who were like the so-called emperor's protection in ancient times, boasting all the way forward, but in fact it would be good to sink all the way back to Tokyo Bay.
"But no matter what, war is inevitable, instead of being entangled, it's better to prepare now, the usual training can be shown here, sweat more in normal times, maybe you can shed less blood now, believe in their strength."
However, as far as Hayato is concerned, although the battlefield needs to be carefully configured and carefully planned, it is more that the power played by KANMUS in the battle and the commander's on-the-spot command play a more decisive role.
A long time ago, joint operations with the Russian side represented the possibility of this, and the ships of the Pseudo-Ji class could easily be repelled by tactics.
Of course, the more important thing is that he believes more in Nagato's strength and the results of the introduction of 'repair weapons'.
"It seems that Admiral Hayato has already prepared, so Admiral Kondo, the work of the Nishimura fleet will be handed over to you."
"Understood, the preparations on my side will be completed as soon as possible."
As the admiral who managed some battles, Kondo became more and more of a true admiral, with the Nishimura fleet and Mutsu in his possession of the frontal combat power, and even more to celebrate, the sweet eye contact between Fuso and Kondo's stupid eyes proved that the admiral had also established some kind of delicate relationship with his trusted subordinates.
Of course, this kind of thing is not uncommon among admirals.
For example, Hirohiko and Wyvern, such as Lokat and Daho, well, although this pairing is largely due to misinformation and unintentional hype by a certain tabloid (Fleet Weekly AOBA), it has attracted a lot of attention.
Even in the current Palau base, if Lokat and Taiho are found alone, they will attract a lot of onlookers.
This made Lokat feel very headache, or rather, coupled with the random speculation in the tabloids that Dafeng's age should not exceed fourteen years old, it really made Lokat want to grab the ground with his head.
Although it's not because of the scandal that I have a headache, but about the rumors about Lolicon, about this matter, the gendarmerie has talked to me repeatedly, and I have eaten three or four bowls of pork chop rice.
Yarn joke! If you count the age of the two worlds combined, this guy will almost be my great-great-great-grandmother!
However, as far as Dafeng's reaction is concerned, it is not so strong, but when it is talked about, it is inevitable that she will blush.
So a certain tabloid began to talk nonsense even more, if it weren't for the fact that Lokat was now tense because of the war, he would definitely find out the guy who wrote the tabloid and beat him up.
"Locat, it's your turn, is there anything wrong with your fleet?"
"No problem for the time being, I'll take care of the rest."
Of course, a certain heavy tour that is working on a new edition of the tabloid is now feeling a chill in the back.
