Chapter 2701: Give Leniency to the Enemy 2

"Well, we did discuss this issue privately. Although if this is the case, the situation is very bad, but we also have a plan. We will form a submarine cordon around the fleet and arrange some destroyers to carry radio-side equipment and a large number of searchlights to serve as warning posts. You should understand that even though the Japanese fleet can maintain radio silence while sailing, it is absolutely impossible to maintain radio silence while attacking. Apart from anything else, carrier-based aircraft are releasing Then, we need radio navigation information when we come back. So, we won't be caught off guard," Fletcher Sr. said.

"The Japanese fleet does not have the ability to find us in the vast Sulawesi Sea at night. Considering the fleet's night vision and the size of the Sulawesi Sea, the probability that they will pounce directly on us at night is really too high. Low. Therefore, the most fortunate thing for the other side is that they found us laterally through radio in the early morning, and at the same time, we were just within the attack range of their carrier-based aircraft."

"But we are not worried. The three aircraft carriers of our other aircraft carrier detachment will ensure the suppression of the Japanese naval aviation power. We will prepare the fleet at night. They will not participate in the protection of the First Fleet, and will exclusively use To deal with the possible attack of the Japanese fleet, the Japanese only have 3 aircraft carriers. Even though they may have completed one during this period, at most 4 were concentrated on the battlefield in a hurry. Therefore, our strength is almost the same as that of the Japanese. , so, in this case, everyone is consuming each other, and if they are all exchanged, that will also be our advantage."

"In this way, the Japanese aircraft carrier advantage is removed. During the day, that is, around 9 o'clock in the morning, our conservative distance from the Japanese airport is more than 250 kilometers. As long as we retreat at full speed, then Without a large number of super bombers like V1500, it would be difficult for the Japanese to threaten us even if they use land-based aircraft. After all, if you only carry 250KG bombs, there is no threat. The only possibility is the Japanese Combined Fleet. , we will have enough ammunition left to deal with the Japanese. At worst, we will have a decisive battle." After finishing speaking, Old Fletcher looked at Logan, meaning, do you think you are satisfied with this plan?

"Well, it seems that the U.S. Navy is ready to fight the Japanese. Exchanging injuries for injuries seems acceptable to your army." To be honest, Logan was really impressed by the U.S. Navy's wealth and wealth. Shocked, because this is a desperate fighting method! We are even ready to exchange one for one, or three for two! This is to forcefully wear the opponent down. The Americans' calculations can be said to be quite bloody, but I have to say that this kind of calculation is really awesome!

"So, I think we have nothing to worry about in our battle plan this time, because maybe we will suffer losses, but the opponent will definitely not win!" Old Fletcher said with a smile.

"Well, if your country loses money, your country can get 4 fast battleships from Europe, and if I remember correctly, the new South Dakota-class battleships will be put into service in 3 to 4 months. In this way, even if Japan The Nagato-class people are in service, and the gap between the two sides is getting wider and wider. And if the opponent's main fleet can be wiped out, even if the losses are heavy,

The U.S. Navy would also be the only victor in this war. "To this extent, in fact, Logan has agreed with Old Fletcher's statement. It may not be the best plan, but it is definitely an acceptable plan.

In fact, Logan previously wanted to suggest that before the fleet launches an attack, that is, during the day, an aircraft carrier or seaplane carrier should be deployed in the direction where Japan is most likely to arrive, such as the north, and a large number of reconnaissance aircraft should be concentrated to conduct an attack. Large-scale in-depth reconnaissance is used to determine the safety of the fleet, but this approach will disperse aviation forces, and large-scale reconnaissance and possible radio contacts during reconnaissance may also expose themselves. Therefore, it is an obvious pros and cons. Plan, and the Americans are not very interested in this. According to their thinking, they can just leave in a hurry. How can there be so many surprises in an offensive that cannot last for a day? This reason is so good that even Logan can't refute it.

Just after the U.S. aircraft carrier detachment finally merged with the main fleet commanded by Sims, dozens of various ships began to sail towards the former Dutch East Indies. For a period of time at the beginning, the entire voyage could be said to be uneventful, because it was far away from all international routes, and this sea area itself was also a war zone, so the entire fleet did not encounter any problems.

Although the Americans were a bit reckless from a strategic point of view, they were still very careful in their implementation. Even the main fleet specially passed through areas with bad weather when sailing, which further reduced the probability of being discovered. In addition to the main fleet hiding itself, some of the warships originally stationed at Pearl Harbor also went to sea, making a posture of reaching the front line of New Ireland Island. It can be said that before entering the so-called yellow line area, which is the high-intensity control area of ​​the Japanese Navy, the US fleet itself did a very good job of hiding itself!

A few days later, when the U.S. fleet arrived at the last supply point and was preparing to replenish fuel, Sims and Magiffin were making final preparations as they entered the Sulawesi Sea.

"In three hours, we will complete the supply, and then the supply ship will return and we will use the coming darkness as cover to cross the Talau Islands and eventually enter the Sulawesi Sea," Magifen said.

"Is there Japanese naval aviation in the Talao Islands?" Sims asked.

"There are some, but the facilities are very simple and there will be no large-scale aviation deployment. Moreover, we have considered that the aviation power on the Talao Islands will lead to the possibility of us being discovered, so we chose to cross here at night."

"Okay. So what's the situation with the Japanese fleet now?" Sims asked.

"According to the intelligence from 3 days ago, at least half of the Japanese fleet's capital ships should still be inside the port, but the situation in the past few days is unknown, because according to the information provided by the headquarters, the Japanese fleet has suddenly strengthened its alert, and it seems that there may be some actions. But it shouldn’t be a large-scale military operation, because according to the information we got, the Japanese Navy’s fuel transportation did not fluctuate greatly during this period.” There are still some worries in Ma Jifen’s words.
