1315 End 2

However, today, Su Xiong finally made the Japanese face the reality again. If there is accumulation and strength, the Japanese are still not enough. Although the main ships of the Japanese Joint Fleet can be called strong ships and powerful guns, their understanding of sea power and navy is still too young. The British understand the navy for hundreds of years and the experience of thousands of royal navy exchanged for blood and wisdom. The German Navy was because of a time traveler. What about the Japanese Navy? Why do they? So, be honest.

After the German fleet left, the Japanese fleet was still lucky. Before the sun set, Yamashiro and King Kong finally met. However, in this sea area, they never found the Japanese transport fleet again, because just when the main ships of both sides were killed, the German submarine forces launched another attack, and in the end, only 3 of the eight transport ships escaped by luck. The total tonnage was 18,000 tons. The remaining 20 transport ships were killed by the German fast battleships and submarines within less than 24 hours. By the way, they had to board a fast battleship, a battle cruiser and 6 destroyers.

"If the information we collected about the Japanese fleet is correct, then in today's battle, we killed at least 120,000 tons of ships, carrying 6,000 tons of copper ingots, 4,000 tons of tin ingots, tens of thousands of tons of grain, crude oil and ore, as well as more than 3,000 tons of natural rubber, plus at least 6,000 Japanese troops, as well as a large number of vehicles, artillery, and ammunition." On the way back, Su Xiong said after receiving a telegram from Colonel Schultz.

"Well, except for the few high-speed troop transport ships, the rest should be left here." Raidel said with a pity. Although the Japanese fleet's cruise speed was only 8 to 10 knots, you cannot deny that there were indeed some high-speed merchant ships inside. In the battle last night, the Schonhorst was lucky to kill a high-speed merchant ship for transport personnel. Today, before the battle, Kato Hiroji issued an order to disband the fleet. After each escaped, these ships of transport personnel and valuable materials escaped the pursuit of the submarine. There was no way, even if the submarine surfaced, it would not run for 18 knots.

From the perspective of battle results and strategy, Su Xiong did a very good job this time. The 120,000-ton transport fleet, two super fearless and semi-large destroyers, this is definitely the most successful case in the German navy's attack! And the most important thing is that the Allies launched an offensive against the Dardanelles will inevitably delay for more than 3 months. More than half of this batch of Japanese troops died and their equipment was completely destroyed. The two crucial Japanese rapid battleships were also killed and injured. More importantly, the Japanese Navy was absolutely impossible to send a new battleship to Europe before the damaged warship was repaired and the new battleship was launched.

Then there are only two options for the Allies. Either the British sent enough fleets to make up for the losses caused by the absence of the Japanese Navy. Or they would delay the entire war. Wait until the Japanese are in good condition. Although Su Xiong is not clear about the prince's Polish pocket plan, he believes that if he gives the prince another three months, he will always be able to withdraw enough troops to solve the Balkan problem?

Just as two German fast battleships sailed back to the Persian Gulf and the submarine troops continued to cruise in the Indian Ocean, the Japanese fleet, which had suffered the bitterness of failure, also embarked on their way back. Although the battle was lost, what they should do still need to be done. After receiving the personnel of the war-sinking warship, Yamaya, as the commander with the highest rank in this battle, he needed to send a battle report to the Japanese Navy. As for Kato Hiroji? This guy broke himself shortly after handing over the command of the Yamahara to Yamahara.

"Well, it's also an explanation for the Admiralty. Although this mistake is not entirely up to him." This is the reason for his colleagues' life. The dead are over, but the living are still facing a "tragic world". Although because Kato Hiroji takes the blame, the others in the mountains may not be punished too much, but he probably will be like this in his life. Maybe it won't take long to be assigned a idle position. Then he is kicked out of the fleet and thrown into a corner to retire. But it has to be said that the others in the mountains are still very professional. He needs to study this battle carefully and then summarize the experience and lessons! It is worthy of the navy's salary and various internal benefits.

"Madan, I am the most aggrieved. I did nothing. I didn't know anything. After entering the field, I met the murderous Su Xiong fleet opposite, and was pushed in half an hour." The others in Shanya complained wildly. Not to mention, the others in Shanya were really a little unfair. Because of the existence of electronic interference from the Germans, he was always in a state of "deaf" and "blind", and all his moves were led by the other party. This kind of intelligence aberration is the most important reason for this defeat. Otherwise, the Japanese fleet could at least protect most of the transport ships. After all, if the four main battleships were walking together, the German fleet would definitely have no chance. There was no idea to act!

The other man picked up the pen in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then put it down, because he didn't know how to start writing. He could feel that this time the Japanese fleet operation was controlled by the Germans in anticipation, but he could not write these things out, because if it was written, it would definitely be useless to devalue the entire combat system of the Japanese fleet, and this was a political issue.

"Even if we are unwilling to admit it, our understanding of the navy and the naval combat ideas established in this understanding are both problematic. We try to understand a big country from the perspective of a small country and directly simplify naval warfare into a short-term, and the idea of ​​a main fleet showdown is very wrong!"
