Half a year has passed since the Battle of the Timor Sea. Half a year is not a long time, but it is enough to change a lot of things. The Japanese made a mistake here, and the Yamato aircraft carrier fleet was almost completely destroyed by Chuichi Nagumo. Influenced by the influence of Japan, the Japanese attitude towards learning from the Pacific Fleet has evolved from extreme contempt at the beginning to deep fear. This change in mentality not only happened to senior Japanese naval admirals such as Yamamoto Isoroku, but also to those Japanese sailors. and junior officers, the fear of learning from the Pacific Fleet is increasing day by day, so much so that as long as they hear that the opponent is the military training force, they will feel fear in their hearts. Therefore, the battle that they must win will also be lost. The emperor Before the Battle of Wenhai Sea, the naval forces of China and Japan were relatively strong and weak. Even Ouyang Yun believed that although the Pacific Fleet had grown, it was not enough to challenge the Japanese Combined Fleet, and even after the Battle of Timor Sea , if the Japanese combined fleet is really fully assembled, it will still be able to firmly suppress the Pacific Fleet. You must know that at that time, there will be very few new weapons, ship-to-ship missiles and air-to-ship missiles equipped by the Pacific Fleet. If the Japanese really If the combined fleet were to engage in a decisive battle with the Pacific Fleet, even if they could not win, they would definitely be able to inflict heavy damage. As long as heavy damage was caused, with the shipbuilding capabilities of China and Japan at the time, the Japanese could fully recover in up to two years. The size of the combined fleet before the war, what can the Xuebing Army do in two years? It can successfully build at most four aircraft carrier fleets.
Eleven years later, during the United Nations celebrations to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the victory of World War II, an American military historian once raised such a question, which immediately aroused widespread discussion. Americans had reason to wonder. If the United Fleet and the Pacific Fleet both lose in a fight, then the U.S. Pacific Fleet will definitely get a chance to rise from the ashes. "The Japanese made a mistake, and the result was that the Chinese began to become the master of the Pacific. If, I say If history repeats itself, will the Japanese do this again?" This military historian wrote in the preface of his book "Pacific War",
The Japanese missed their last chance, and in half a year, for the Pacific Fleet, it meant that there were nearly 2,000 more ship-to-ship missiles and nearly 500 more ship-to-air missiles in the fleet's reserve warehouse, which meant that They had the capital to fight against the Japanese combined fleet. In Chongqing, what the Americans, Soviet Russians and British saw were just some arsenals that had begun to take shape or were under construction; in Guangzhou, in the underground bunkers of Baiyun Mountain , outside their sight, any one of these factories has more than 3,000 employees. Thanks to Hu Tong's contribution, Xuebingjun did an excellent job of keeping core secrets secret, even until the war. In the end, Western countries did not know how much production capacity China's military industry had. Therefore, in the first major military parade after the end of World War II, hundreds of missiles of various types, various fighter planes, and various new tanks were displayed from the Chairman As they passed by under the stage, Roosevelt, Stalin, Churchill and Umbers were all completely shocked.
The decision-making team of the Pacific Fleet led by Chen Shichang naturally contributed a lot to the fact that the Pacific Fleet was able to defeat the powerful Yamato aircraft carrier fleet in the Timor Sea battle. The greatest contribution, of course, belongs to the guided missile speedboat unit. In this battle, How many Japanese ships did the guided missile boat force sink? The biggest effect was that it completely disrupted the layout of the Japanese army and caused chaos in the Yamato aircraft carrier fleet. So, is it that the guided missile boat tactic cannot be defeated? This is definitely not the case. In this way, at least in Ouyang Yun's mind, there are three sets of mature means to counteract this tactic. The first means is submarine tactics; the second means is submarine plus torpedo and speedboat tactics; the third means is high pressure tactics.
Submarine tactics and submarine plus torpedo boat tactics are relatively cheap. As long as large-scale submarines and torpedo boats are deployed on the battlefield in advance, they can intercept enemy missile boats when they enter the battlefield. High-pressure tactics are relatively expensive, but with Japan
The current strength of the United Fleet can still achieve these three targeted tactics. As a time traveler, Koizumi Toshiichiro also thought of it. However, when implementing it, because he had already defined the United Fleet as the weak side in his heart, this led him to directly
They gave up the first two tactics and focused on high-pressure tactics. Whether it was Yamamoto Isoroku or Koizumi Toshiichiro, they still looked at the Pacific Fleet with contempt, but deep down, they were completely different.
Attitude, this duplicitous attitude, determined that they went astray from the beginning when implementing high-pressure tactics. Special attack tactics, to put it more lightly, can be called tactics, but in fact they are suicide.
It depends on luck to not be able to cause damage to the enemy at the same time. To be fair, because of the Japanese personality, special attack tactics or suicide tactics are suitable for them. However, because this tactic itself is a weakness tactic, it is
The weak will only take self-protection measures when they have no choice, so they have fallen behind from the beginning.
It doesn't matter if you fall behind, as long as you can kill the enemy in exchange for victory. However, the technical gap and the gap in tactical concepts cannot be completely offset by this tactic. Therefore, you should learn from the Pacific Fleet when it is strong to a certain extent and has the ability to counterattack.
When the ability of this tactic is suppressed, if the Japanese adopt this tactic, they will not kill the enemy, but will destroy themselves.
After half a year of cessation, the Japanese came again with special attack tactics. As expected, they caused a lot of damage to the Xue Pacific Fleet at first. The front line of the Xue Pacific Fleet was still the Beijing mobile fleet commanded by Bian Jingdao. Bian Jingdao led it with great satisfaction.
The fleet went to Guadalcanal again. He originally thought it would be an easy victory trip, so he felt relaxed. This also increased the losses of the Beijing mobile fleet to a certain extent. When the first wave of Japanese submarines appeared,
He also thought that the Japanese army was implementing latent tactics and did not pay much attention to it. The Beijing mobile fleet was already responsible for clearing the channel for the main fleet and driving away enemy submarines, so the anti-submarine capability of the unit was still very strong.
However, this anti-submarine warfare capability may be useful for conventional submarines, but its effect on special attack submarines that ram into them without saying a word is minimal.
The special attack submarines designed by Koizumi Minichiro are divided into two types. One is a large long-distance submarine responsible for launching special attack torpedoes, and the other is a special attack torpedo-type blasting submarine that undertakes special attack tasks. Among them, the blasting submarine has a specially enhanced shell strength for water navigation speed.
Its shell is hard enough to resist bombardment by 185mm artillery shells at a distance of one thousand meters. This results in that once it is bitten by this type of submarine and floats to the sea, it will look like the light destroyers and missile speedboats of the Xuebing Army.
