To be honest, compared to strategy, the Japanese performed really well at the tactical level, especially on-site battles! Don’t look at the Japanese fleet being defeated from time to time when fighting Suxiong Redel. You should know that the micro-operation of the small fleet of Suxiong and Redel is definitely at the top of the world! Give him 4 battleships, and they can play with them! Betty’s fleet command is actually excellent. At the beginning, he was only targeted by the crown prince in the Battle of Dogel Sands. As a time traveler, the latter was quite accurate in Betty’s character, and the multiple remedial measures taken by Betty during the entire battle were somewhat effective.

From the macro perspective of the battlefield, the Japanese fleet's training level and tactical on-the-spot performance are actually one level higher than the American fleet! For example, in the final stage of the Battle of New Ireland, the Japanese fleet directly took off the Texas with a beautiful backlash, which is very classic. In the Sulawesi Sea Battle, which just ended, the Japanese Navy's performance was outstanding.

Since its establishment, the Japanese Navy has had a characteristic, that is, the navy is very concerned about tactical issues, and they can study the tactics of war very thoroughly, especially in frontal combat in the fleet. This has actually been reflected in two battles in history. The aircraft carrier team is of good quality, and the same is true for surface ship gun battles. For example, starting to fight with the Shiguo fleet in Southeast Asia, it was a big victory. In the successive night battles in Guado, Japan also achieved good results. Sometimes it was defeated because of a large gap in strength. For example, when Kirishima was beaten by Washington, the US fleet dispatched two battleships. Even if South Dakota was disastrous, the Americans still had an advantage!

Betty is quite satisfied with the combat level of the Japanese Navy's fleet, but it is different for how to use a large fleet to attack a large transport fleet of 70 or even more transport ships, because as the attacking party, you are required to destroy as many transport ships as possible, with more than 70 transport ships. Even if you only have an average speed of 10 knots, if you get the news in advance and then disperse it directly, it will be really difficult to catch!

There are only 6 main battleships of the Japanese fleet, and the aircraft carrier team can only participate in the war at most. Otherwise, once its complete strength is exposed, it will not be easy to attack the US fleet later. There are some destroyers, but there must be several to provide cover for aircraft carriers and supply ships. To be honest, if a destroyer is used to hunt a certain transport ship alone, what if the other party is an armed merchant ship? You may not be able to beat your opponent 1v1!

Therefore, for a certain scale of fleet breaking, the Japanese are completely newcomers. Only Su Xiong has practical experience in this regard. After all, they also brought two super fearless ships, several camouflaged cruisers and submarines to carry out hunting! But the British did not have the right to speak, because, from the perspective of the enemy, the British, as the attacked party, also studied the defense of the opponent's fleet-level attack. Based on years of experience in being beaten, the British still have some experience!

"From a tactical perspective, I think if you want to surround a large fleet, then there are two most important points. The first point is how to make our fleet approach the opponent, especially our main battleship, not be discovered by the American fleet too early, which will cause the opponent to flee in scattered areas. The other aspect is how to limit the opponent's transport ship to a smaller range, or directly drive them into our pockets. This is all the problems we need to face." Betty said.

"As for approaching the opponent in secret, I think it is best to use dawn to approach the opponent. We approach the opponent from the west of the US fleet. At dawn, the sun illuminates the east first, while we are still under protection of the night. Moreover, the overall course of the US fleet is from east to west, and we happen to intercept from the front."

"In order to prevent the US fleet from disbanding and scattering and fleeing, we should also deploy the fleet separately. Each battleship brings a small number of destroyers, which are responsible for attacking small ships or intercepting opponents, while the battleship is used for killing. Several small fleets cooperate with each other to encircle and suppress the situation. Of course, this tests our fleet cooperation and judgment of the situation. The Americans are likely to concentrate frigates to launch assaults in a certain direction, but temporarily open a gap. In some cases, lightning strikes from auxiliary cruisers or destroyers are very difficult to deal with." Suzuki Kazutaro said.

This is not to say how much threat the auxiliary cruisers and destroyers can pose to battleships, but because if the battle is delayed for more than ten minutes, then at least other ships can go out several kilometers from all directions! You should know that the average speed of some fleets is only 8 to 10 knots, which does not mean that the maximum speed is 8 to 10 knots, nor does it mean that there will be no higher-speed merchant ships. It is just that this speed is very economical and is very suitable for formation direction. After all, you can't expect a group of civilian crew to be of the same level as the navy, right?

But if you want to escape, it will be different. Even steam engines can use strong pressure ventilation to increase the speed. Some merchant ships carrying important equipment will definitely accelerate. It is normal for a fleet of 10 knots to have several ships with a maximum speed of more than 15 knots. These ships are often high-value targets, and they even carry cigarette tanks or light artillery. They are the kind of attacks on destroyers. I guess they can't beat them. If the main ship chases the main ship, it may waste time. After all, you are chasing a ship with a speed of 10 knots and chasing a ship with a speed of 15 knots and a ship with cigarette tanks! In this plane, the German navy's attack on the British fleet was not successful every time, and there were also times when the escort fleet had poor results because of the outstanding performance of the escort fleet, so this question was very targeted.

"The cigarette can is indeed a problem. This will greatly reduce the accuracy of the naval gun. It is OK to waste some secondary gun shells, but if we want to attack targets 15 kilometers away, we can only use the main gun. After all, the secondary gun range is very limited. If we waste too many main gun shells on a merchant ship, it is not worth it for us. After all, it is difficult for us to replenish the main gun shells when sailing on the sea, and our main guns will be left to the American main ships." Shimamura Soo said.
