Chapter 2622 How to Write a Battle Report 1

"It seems that General Su Xiong's situation is really bad this time." When Major General Karls of the Bavarian Army came to Su Xiong's flagship again, what he saw was a battleship full of bullet holes and ruins, and The busy soldiers were full of debris and traces of flames. Although the core area of ​​​​the Oldenburg was still intact, the losses were also great. In the end, the battleship only had 4 main guns available. One of the main guns of No. 1 turret on the front deck was broken. The vibration of the No. 2 main gun turret caused damage to the saddle and servo system of one gun, and the long barrel hung down.

Three days have passed since the war. Su Xiong and Redel are still dealing with the follow-up matters, and Major General Karls is also not idle. After the maritime transport fleet was severely damaged, the situation of the U.S. Army has undergone tremendous changes. For soldiers, the biggest The impact is that fresh vegetables, meat, and various luxury supplies, such as tobacco, alcohol, and coffee, are all gone. For American soldiers, their daily staple food became various hard biscuits and lunch meat produced from 1905 to 1910. Steamed, baked, fried. All kinds of tricks. But only luncheon meat. The same is true for members of the German officer corps, including Major General Karls. But fortunately, they also have instant pasta brought from Germany and various sausages produced in Bavaria. , these things are in hot demand right now, among the frontline troops, 4 dollars a pack!

In terms of equipment, the U.S. Army has begun to strictly restrict the use of ammunition and weapons. The 155MM long-range artillery originally used to suppress Japanese heavy artillery at ultra-long range has stopped suppressing it. After all, this method of using strong charges to forcibly increase the range is harmful to the artillery. Too much wear and tear. And if the intelligence received by Karls is correct, the US Army lost at least 40 155MM cannon barrels in the battle a few days ago!

The U.S. military, which was originally on the offensive, began to shrink. Most of the chassis they had worked so hard to capture within weeks were thrown away within two days. The Japanese Army began to launch a large-scale attack, but apart from causing many casualties to both sides, there was not much big effect. According to Major General Karls' speculation, if the Americans are determined to defend, it will be difficult for the Japanese to drive the U.S. Army into the sea. The gap between the armies of the two sides, especially the gap in equipment, is not generally large, and in this situation that is close to trench warfare, the attacking side is very disadvantageous.

This time, Major General Karls came to Su Xiong's flagship with the purpose of assessing the dynamics of the US military on New Ireland Island and the direction of the future war situation with Su Xiong. Then a report was written and sent to Crown Prince Ruprecht and the German central government.

"Sorry, the conditions are a little rough, let's make do with it." Su Xiong said. When Rear Admiral Karls came to the officers' mess of the Oldenburg, the German Navy was fully prepared. In the middle of the restaurant was a huge sand table. There are various icons hanging on the wall. The staff officers have already put the collected data into categories. Originally, the officers' mess was air-conditioned, but now, I'm sorry. Just open the porthole as big as the basin and make do. There will still be fruit, but forget about the ice cream. The power on the battleship is a little tight.

"This is already better than the conditions at my headquarters." Major General Karls said in a very sincere tone. Because of this, Su Xiong and the others just don't have air conditioning now, while Kars has always had no air conditioning...

As for eating and drinking, it is not as good as the navy. There is no way. It is normal for the navies of various countries to receive higher treatment than the army.

"As for the losses on both sides, I think everyone is very clear. Let's skip this part. As for the attitude of the U.S. Navy and Army, I can now confirm that whether it is Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Army Pershing or the current U.S. Army Navy Commander Benson, or Sims, the most popular candidate to take office, they all insist on continuing this battle. So let’s discuss it based on this premise now," Su Xiong said.

"So what is the U.S. Navy's next plan? Can they maintain maritime transportation? Does the Japanese Navy still have the ability to continue launching raids?" Rear Admiral Karls asked. There is no way, this is a battle for islands, and the key to victory or defeat lies in sea power. Therefore, he must understand the status of the U.S. and Japanese fleets.

"The Japanese Navy should have no chance. Their combat effectiveness is also very high, especially the auxiliary warships, which have even dropped below the level. Moreover, the bad weather will soon pass, and the next stage will be clear skies. Japan It is difficult for people to use the cover of darkness to carry out sneak attacks again. On the sea, the U.S. Navy still has a dozen battleships and five aircraft carriers. There is not a big problem with sea control."

"As for the rotation issue, I think the Japanese still cannot defeat the United States. The way the U.S. fleet is dealt with is to wait until the Japanese fleet begins to withdraw from this sea area, and then they will rotate. So, at sea, the Americans will still have control "Quan, if the battlefield is a prison, then the U.S. Navy is the jailer, and the Japanese are the prisoners. They injured the jailer, but they were unable to rescue their colleagues in the prison." Redel's answer was very simple and affirmative.

"So when will the Americans' transportation capabilities be restored?" Major General Karls continued to ask.

"This is a little hard to say." Su Xiong's answer surprised Major General Karls.

"I think, purely from the perspective of the number of transport ships and material reserves, even if it is transported from the mainland, it won't take long, right?" Major General Karls asked.

"If the Japanese, or the people who are supporting the Japanese, are smart enough, then in the next stage, when the main fleets of both sides have all stopped and are preparing to rest, the Japanese fast forward dreadnoughts will attack, and they will disrupt everything from The maritime transportation line from the mainland of the United States to Hawaii. The actual losses may not be great, but it will definitely reduce the volume of U.S. transportation a lot, because there are no suitable warships in the U.S. Navy's combat sequence to limit these fast forward fearless ships. And in It is actually difficult to catch such a warship at sea." Su Xiong thought for a while and said.

"I heard that it was the British who gave the Japanese advice this time?" Karls asked.

"Yes, it must be British, and it may be Betty. Because, according to the intelligence provided by our intelligence network in Europe, this guy has suddenly disappeared for several months." Su Xiong said.

"Betty is so powerful now?" Carls expressed confusion.

"People are always growing, but this issue is not important. What is important is that if the Japanese launch a war to break diplomatic relations at this time, it will seriously delay the pace of the US military's offensive. The fall of New Ireland Island is certain. The only problem is When will it fall?" said Redl.
