He really didn't understand why Chief Chen made such a choice.
If this matter were put on his head, no matter what he said, it would be impossible for him to compete one-on-one because his own strength was not up to it.
Yamamoto Isoroku chuckled; "This is why you are an adjutant, and you will be a senior general."
Speaking of this, Yamamoto Isoroku pulled on his military uniform; "I really admire him."
Signaling the adjutant to busy himself, he sat next to him and explained; "Which of my opponents, one-on-one, wants to use my combined fleet as a stepping stone to give his Yamacheng Navy a chance to stand up again. Once he wins one-on-one,
So in the future, no matter which country wants to take action against them, it needs to consider whether they have the ability."
The Imperial Navy has always paid attention to training, and its combat effectiveness is not inferior to any other country, even if it fights Wudu, it will not be inferior.
To put it bluntly, Shancheng has a large fleet this time. If they win, they will not let anyone look down upon them, because you won the victory with numerical superiority. However, if you win one-on-one, that is a different matter.
"I'll wait and see the outcome of their battle." Yamamoto Isoroku said with a smile and then turned to the adjutant and said, "Give Ozawa power and do your best. Even if you fail, don't have any burden."
Boom boom... boom boom boom...
Sea area No. 3.
The battle between the two sides has begun.
When ten nautical miles away, the Japanese battleship opened fire first, and five minutes later, Zhenyuan's Sanlian also roared with its 380mm main gun.
After the first round of shelling, no one was hit, but Ozawa's inner contempt was reduced a lot.
In the first round of salvos, the opponent's distance from our flagship was only 150 meters.
One hundred and fifty meters sounds very far. Maybe for the Army, this is a joke, but for the Navy, this impact point is already remarkable. This is a distance of ten nautical miles, and there are many factors to consider.
"Their navy has never missed training." Ozawa looked at the impact points of the bullets and hummed; "Today's battle was interesting."
The staff officer had been observing the situation in the distance. After seeing clearly the non-deployment on the opposite side, he turned his head and said, "The battleships are in the front and rear, the cruisers are in the rear, and the destroyers are behind them. This kind of deployment is to take advantage of the thickness of the battleships and the
The cruiser's high rate of fire can cover the destroyer behind it."
Ozawa discovered this problem long ago.
In fact, to be honest, he didn't understand the other party's intention of doing this.
After all, doing this doesn't actually make much sense. If you do this, the high speed of the destroyers will be affected. Their role on the battlefield, according to the definition of the Imperial Navy, is actually to harass the opponent.
If you want to harass, you must use high speed to come out.
"I don't know, but I think there must be his intention." Having said this, Ozawa lowered his head and thought for a while; "To capture the thief, capture the king first, and sink his flagship first."
Boom boom...
A shell hit the Zhenyuan deck. After the violent explosion, a fire broke out on the deck. The fire-fighting team rushed to the scene immediately to put out the fire, and the medical soldiers also went to the turret in time to carry the injured soldiers to the materials.
room.
On the bridge, Commander Chen just glanced calmly, and then his eyes fell into the distance.
"Sir, please go back to the command tower. It's too dangerous here."
As the violence got closer and closer, the number of hits between the two sides increased. Dingyuan had been hit by a dispersal bomb, and a secondary gun was blown up. It was also hit in the back, burning with thick smoke, while the other side looked at
It’s better to get up and not miss a single one.
There was thick smoke rising.
But that's not important. What's important is that if you use the commander's tactics, this is completely using the rough skin of the battleship to buy time for the destroyer. The next battle will probably be more intense. And the danger will be more obvious.
.
Chief Chen turned to look at him and said, "I said, even if I die today, I will die in this position."
"But sir, as the commander-in-chief, your position is more in the command tower. You will be the soul of the soldiers. If you are here, the morale of our fleet will be there. If you are not there, what is the point of our soldiers' struggle? Moreover, sir, what is the plan this time?
, it’s just a dangerous move, isn’t it?”
The adjutant is good at persuading people. At least after he finished speaking, Chief Chen became silent.
The adjutant saw that he was loose, and then he called the guards around him to take him to the command tower.
It's not that he is afraid of death, but that the General should not die in this place.
The commander's plan is to use the battleships as the first echelon to attract the opponent's firepower, and then the cruisers will suppress the opponent. The real killer move is the inconspicuous destroyer behind.
The battleships and cruisers provided cover and sent them to a position five nautical miles away. Then the destroyers were used as the main force to rush out and release torpedoes, while the battleships and cruisers still provided cover.
To put it bluntly, all countries have always used battleships and cruisers as the main force. No matter in combat or in other matters, they are always the first. But this time, the commander went in the opposite direction. He used small and big things instead of using battleships as the main force.
Destroyers are the main force.
Even if both battleships are sunk today, as long as the destroyers get up, it will be a victory, because once they get up, the opponent's artillery will be unable to do anything to them, and not everyone can bear the shock caused by the torpedo salvo.
During this march, the destroyer's main gun did not attack the enemy battleships and cruisers, but attacked their destroyers, and the same was true for the cruisers. After all, the battleships were rough and thick-skinned, and the battleship's main guns may not be able to penetrate them. Don't talk about other things.
.
Commander Chen, who returned to the command tower, did not do much to go to a safe place, but came to the hanging window to observe the battle.
Looking at the water column rising into the sky in the distance, he looked to the left and right. Everyone in the compartment was fighting hard to kill the enemy. Even the seriously injured ships were following closely.
"Tell all the officers and men on the ships whether our Shancheng Navy can stand a chance. Today, we will go to all departments to kill the enemy bravely and shed the last drop of blood for the country."
The message was sent in clear text, and many countries received it. They all knew that Yamashiro's returning fleet was intercepted by the Japanese army and was engaged in a bloody battle.
The special agent team also intercepted such a message.
Xiao Ya picked up the message and handed it to Zhou Weiguo at the regiment headquarters; "Awen, the navy has started fighting."
Is there a fight? Zhou Weiguo took the message and took a look at it and said, "No way. There are so many ships in the returning fleet, but they can't defeat a small interceptor fleet. Do you want to be so exaggerated?"
Nan Zhongmei was talking to Nan Zuolinzi by the window. When she heard this, she turned around and asked, "What did you say?"
