Chapter 2594: On the Self-Cultivation of Bait 2

"Okay, you two, the war is still going on. Let's wait until after the war to celebrate your victory or write your memoirs before mentioning these lyrical words! We still have business to do now! The task of luring the enemy has not been completed, we still have some work to do. Stay away!" At this moment, a slightly rude voice interrupted the conversation between the two. The speaker was none other than Rear Admiral Moore, a special commissioner of the British Royal Navy.

"But we have already given away two slow battleships." Yamamoto Isoroku said with some surprise.

"We are the bait ourselves. Have you ever caught a fish? Do you know what a bait is? The bait is, no matter whether we can catch the fish in the end, we have to sacrifice it! Do you understand this? For a bait, the best The result is that we die and let the fishermen catch the fish, and if there is decoupling, even if we survive in the end, we are still failed bait! At that time, people will say, you will not even die!" Mu Major General Er said without mercy.

"You mean to slow down our fleet so that the Americans can catch up and sink them one by one?" Others in Shanwu said with some dissatisfaction. After all, no one wants to die!

"Slowing down is necessary. Only when the Americans see hope will they pursue us. But first, we must give a reason to slow down! Do you understand? I mean reasons, we must make our actions look good in the eyes of the Americans. Not so pretentious! Let them feel that it is natural. In this aspect, the Royal Navy has prepared it for you. It is time to make those special smoke cans work." Major General Moore said.

To be honest, after experiencing the training of the war, the senior management of the Royal Navy have definitely improved several levels in the details of battle tactics. Betty will not say it. His commanding ability and campaign commanding ability of the large fleet have now surpassed Su Xiong. However, in terms of specific details, it was worse than Su Xiong, who fought in small-scale fleet battles all day long. In addition, the level of the Japanese fleet was not as good as that of Germany, which allowed Su Xiong to escape at a relatively small cost.

And what about Moore? This guy is going further and further on the road of disguise and deception! To the point of reaching the pinnacle! First of all, the first problem he solved was the problem of camouflaging the number of fleets! Don't forget, in the previous battle, the Japanese fleet invested 10 battleships, but now, there are only 6 regular battleships in Yamaya's fleet, so what about the other 4?

You know, 10 and 6, these two numbers are very different! Even in a night battle environment, such a large gap in the estimate of the number of battleships will arouse the opponent's suspicion. If you say there are a total of 10 battleships, but the result is only 8 to 9, then this can be explained as being inaccurate. But when it comes to 6 ships, this is unlikely. At least, the top brass of the US Navy will definitely murmur in their hearts!

Well, do you know how Major General Moore solved it? Very simple! Are there not enough battleships? Use light cruisers to make up for it! At the request of the rear admiral, the Japanese Navy specially modified two light cruisers. This modification is very simple, except that some light sources are installed in some locations on the hull! Be aware that even during a blackout, some lights will still be on, and these lights may unintentionally mark the outline and even size of the ship! And some experienced people will judge the nature of the battleship based on this outline!

And Major General Moore operated based on these experiences! He deliberately raised the position of some additional light sources,

In order to make these lights appear to be positioned higher, and in the distance, when you infer the bridge of the corresponding battleship based on these lights, the bridge will feel larger because the light source is positioned higher!

As for the length? This is also easy to handle. Add some light sources at the end of the hull. You must know that under normal circumstances, there are no light sources on the front and rear decks of a battleship. If these light sources are added, it will look different to outsiders. Length produces misjudgment. After all, the corresponding relationship between the light source and the length of a normal light cruiser may be an additional 30 meters between the farthest light sources. But now, the distance between your farthest light sources has increased, so naturally there will be problems in inferring the shape of the battleship! So, in the night, these two light cruisers played the role of battleships very well!

Okay, maybe someone asked, what if the other party gets close to me when I'm camouflaging like this? Isn't this simple? Wouldn't it be enough if you put these two light cruisers at the front of the marching column? According to general rules, in this kind of pursuit situation, the US destroyer fleet will definitely find the two warships at the end of the queue to attack. After all, they are the closest and have the weakest defense! Do you rush straight to the front and wait to be smashed into pieces by the side cannons of more other battleships?

Of course, in order to perform a good scene, in addition to good hardware, the actors must also be professional. For example, they must properly control the speed of the battleships and spread the distance between the battleships. This will make the other party feel The rush of the escapers also increases the distance between the light cruiser in front and the US fleet, making it more difficult for the other party to discover the truth and falsehood! In this regard, what the Japanese have done before can only be regarded as quite satisfactory!

So, so far, Major General Moore's deception has been very good! In the eyes of the American fleet, what it has been pursuing is a fleet of 8 to 10 warships! He didn't realize that what he was chasing was only 6 pre-dreadnoughts! From this point of view alone, Major General Moore is already a drama star! But in fact, Major General Moore did better!

What others in Yamaya said is right. After throwing away two battleships, the Japanese fleet actually has some reasons to continue to attract the American fleet. After all, it is understandable that you bring two Dreadnoughts and then throw them away because of the slow speed, but Japan Where did the fleet come from with so many slow-speed battleships? If they run at a slower speed, it would be a bit artificial. The Americans may eventually see some clues, and at this time, it is time for the second system prepared by Major General Moore to appear. , that is a special smoke can!

The Japanese need to give the Americans a reason to slow down their battleships! If Rear Admiral Moore had provided a reason, that reason would be the smoke canister on the Rurik-class battleship that ranked last! This kind of smoke can is different from ordinary smoke cans, which only release smoke, but this one simulates a fire after being shot! The U.S. fleet is actually also firing at other Japanese warships. In theory, with such visibility, it would be difficult to hit the opponent, but who can say that there will be no accidents? So, Major General Moore decided to throw out the third bait-a Japanese battleship that had slowed down due to being shot! Use this to delay even more time!
