Chapter 2578： Su Xiongs concerns (1/2)
”Although the Americans have enabled a new communication frequency band, they are still under the control of the British Empire. We cannot decipher their telegrams, but we can grasp the trajectory of the American fleet through continuous radio.” The British officer was somewhat proud. Said. The pride and arrogance cultivated by the overlord of the sea for hundreds of years is fully revealed at this moment.
”Well, it's time for us to get on and get ready to evacuate. But don't go too fast.” Others in the mountain house looked at the sea in the distance and said, the Japanese fleet began to evacuate, but because of the drag of the two Satsuma-class battleships, their speed must be It will not exceed 20 knots. Of course, if these two battleships are abandoned, they can run at least 22 knots at the speed of the Chaomu-class battleship, but it is still unsafe. From now on, they will be a dangerous decoy. Use yourself to lure the American fleet into the wrong direction!
After half an hour.
”Your Excellency Commander, we have received a telegram from the Third Battleship Detachment.” A staff officer ran up to Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu excitedly and sent the telegram. There are only 4 words on the telegram, the plan is successful!
”Huh.” Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu let out a sigh, the stone in his heart finally fell, and then nodded to Shimamura Hayao.
”Order, raise the white identification flag immediately, use lights and semaphores to send the order, and the fleet will start a total assault!” Shimura Hayao ordered, and following the order, a 9-meter white identification flag was raised to the mast. , And the entire Japanese fleet also began to assault the core area of the US military, where there are at least hundreds of various transport ships!
(Note: The use of white flags as an identification signal for the Japanese fleet at night was not fabricated by the author. The Japanese did it during the battle on Savo Island.)
So, so far, the Benson fleet, the Yamaya others fleet, and the main force of the Japanese fleet have already had their own business. That's good. On this huge chessboard, there is another vital player-Su Xiongzai. For what? !
Let's set the clock back half an hour ago. From Su Xiong's first call back to himself! Benson’s intuition is still very accurate. Su Xiong’s telegram is really meaningless. It simply means that it will arrive as soon as possible. There is no valuable content. But this does not mean that Su Xiong did not care about this matter. It is just now. , He has not yet come up with an idea from the complicated data.
”What is the result of the sound spectrum analysis?” Su Xiong asked again.
”From the data we obtained on the seashore, there are some unfamiliar existences. Although the background noise is very loud, we can still be sure that there were British 15-inch heavy artillery, 14-inch heavy artillery, and a large number of them. Unverifiable information.” Raidel said.
If it is land warfare in this era, for fixed gun positions, sound detection can even perform anti-artillery operations. In naval battles, because warships are moving and the analysis speed is too slow, there is no fire control capability, but through analysis Relevant data, it is still possible to obtain the opponent's artillery type. In this world, apart from the British, it is the Germans who are most familiar with British artillery!
”Very well, things tonight are very interesting.” Su Xiong said with a serious expression. ”Outsiders were mixed in tonight's battle, or outsiders we are not familiar with. They are still capital ships!”
”You mean, the Japanese got extra support?” At this time, Nimitz, who was the liaison officer of the US Navy in Germany, said with some surprise.
