Chapter 2712 Choice
This is impossible. If the intelligence of the guys in the Talao Islands is correct, then the speed of the US fleet is a bit too fast. "Colonel Halls found that he couldn't even convince himself! Because the speed and distance didn't match up! The colonel naturally knew the speed of the old American battleships, so on this issue, he had the same idea as Betty and others.
“But no matter what, I think that if such a serious thing happened in the Sulawesi Sea, we should pay attention to it, send long-range reconnaissance aircraft for investigation, and require the aviation force of Kalimantan to be put on alert. Measures." After a while, Halls reported the matter to the senior management and added his own suggestions at the end of the telegram.
"I think this recommendation should be implemented. Although, I don't know the size of the U.S. fleet and how they achieve such high speeds, I think it is necessary to order the V1500 long-range aircraft in Sulawesi to conduct reconnaissance and patrols. And our trump cards must also be prepared." Colonel Halls did not expect that his telegram would cause such a stir among the top brass of the British and Japanese navies. After receiving the telegram, the British and Japanese officers spent several hours Discussing what happened in the Sulawesi Sea and the response plan, and at ten o'clock in the evening, Betty decided to use her long-hidden power to completely understand what happened in the Sulawesi Sea.
At this time, if someone were to look at it from a God's perspective, they would find that the U.S. Navy was already halfway through its voyage in the Sulawesi Sea. As long as they persisted for one more day, they would be able to enter the final attack position launch area, and by that time, they should It happens to be dark night! At this time, the Japanese combined fleet was still more than 1,000 kilometers away!
"We have entered a blind spot in our thinking. The Americans may have really split their main fleet this time, and they selected an elite fleet for long-distance attacks. So their speed may be very fast, and they also chose for themselves A suitable target, Colonel Halls mentioned, might be Tarakan Island. If the oil fields and refining facilities on this island are really destroyed, the consequences will be very serious, which will directly affect your country's war potential and funding. Source." Betty finally figured it out, but unfortunately, the full calculation now only takes a little more than a day. The ships in the port may be able to evacuate, but the entire oil field, refinery and port facilities are probably not saved. !
"Hiss... If this is really the case, then the situation is simply too bad. The combined fleet had no time to rescue. We were delayed for 40 hours, and what we lost was an important oil field." Motaro Yoshimatsu gasped Taking a breath of cold air, he could feel a chill running straight from his tailbone to the top of his head. I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat.
"Order that all aviation and maritime defense forces that can currently be mobilized quickly go to Tarakan Island, all ships and supplies are evacuated immediately, and land-based reconnaissance forces begin to conduct reconnaissance within 400 kilometers of the island's periphery. Once discovered, ship-based reconnaissance forces are immediately dispatched. When the aircraft force launches an attack, it is necessary to delay the attack of the U.S. fleet as much as possible while waiting for the arrival of the combined fleet." Shigetaro Yoshimatsu said.
“Let’s first figure out the size of the U.S. fleet.
We must determine whether this American fleet is within the range that the combined fleet can confront. The land-based bomber force will also depend on the situation. After all, we don’t know how many aircraft carriers the Americans will bring this time. Sturdy said.
This time, the Americans gained an advantage in the strategic game. Although Britain and Japan were still considering how to protect the precious oil fields on Tarakan Island, everyone knew that it was a foregone conclusion that the oil fields would be attacked. The only problem It just depends on how much the loss is. Even experienced naval officers can easily deduce the time of the US military attack. American gunboats will launch an attack at night, and during the day, the US fleet is still outside the Japanese land-based aviation attack! Maybe a long-range aircraft like the V1500 can detect the opponent, but the twin-engine bomber that is the main force of the attack is simply out of reach! When it was theoretically possible to reach it, it was already night, and Japan's land-based aviation forces could only watch as Tarakan Island fell into a sea of fire!
"If things are irreversible, then we must at least regain some of our disadvantages on the battlefield, otherwise, future wars will be impossible to fight." Betty said decisively. In his opinion, instead of saving something that is destined to be destroyed, it is better to think about how to give up this thing, and then let yourself go into battle lightly and get something back in other aspects. For example, concentrate on attacking the American fleet!
"What if the U.S. fleet is stronger than we expected?" Shimamura Hayao said.
"Then first use the land-based aviation power on Kalimantan to consume the opponent! There are so many oil industry facilities on Taragon Island, and the Americans will definitely be able to evacuate from the battlefield near dawn. The evacuating fleet is in our Therefore, I require all the aviation forces that can be mobilized to take off before dawn, arrive over Tarakan Island at dawn, and then find the American fleet as soon as possible to launch an attack! The strike group is divided into two groups, one of which uses torpedoes One group mainly uses planes and level bombers to attack the main force of the U.S. Navy, while the other group mainly uses dive bombers to attack the U.S. aircraft carrier located in the distance!"
"Aircraft carriers are very fragile, and the current fleet air defense is very ineffective against a large number of aircraft. We have a great chance of destroying the U.S. aircraft carrier, and the battleships can also be severely damaged with heavy bombs and torpedoes, and after weakening the U.S. fleet, If our combined fleet launches another attack, we have no reason to lose," Betty said.
"But according to our estimates, the Americans may have prepared more than 400 aircraft. There are very few aircraft in our aviation fleet that can undertake long-distance escort missions. If bombers are used to forcefully attack the defense line formed by fighter jets, the loss of aviation power will be huge. Big." Hayao Shimamura hesitated. An attack plane carrying a large number of heavy bombs and torpedoes rushed into an air defense net composed of hundreds of aircraft? Haha, this situation is a bit bad. In the war, all bombers had to pay an extremely heavy price if they wanted to break through the opponent's air defense network without escort.
"Aircraft carriers are different from land-based airports. As long as we destroy the deck of an aircraft carrier with three bombs, it is equivalent to destroying dozens of fighter jets. And if we sink it, then we are equivalent to killing one. Wing! Aircraft carriers are fragile. The number of fighter jets they can use on the battlefield is far inferior to the aircraft carried by the aircraft carrier. And as I said, we must make full use of the time before dawn and fly before the American fighter jets are released. Go over! We can catch our opponents off guard!" Betty said.
