It should be noted that the event was only based on historical happenings and wasn’t intended to be an accurate reproduction – the battle would still be competitive. Based on this fact, the battle went completely differently right from the outset. For instance, the Japanese instantly attacked the “USS Blue” represented by the USS Farragut in this reconstruction. The destroyer was quickly sunk, though this didn’t pass unnoticed — the aggressors were spotted and quickly got a peppering of return fire. «Takao» launched her torpedoes and retreated, allowing the US forces to chase her.
值得一提的是,虽然历史战取材于历史战役,但这不代表我们要完全再现历史——这只是一场比赛。因此,战斗的走向可能和历史上有些不同,比如说,布鲁号(由一条法拉格特级客串)在侦查时被日方攻击,然后瞬间沉没(历史上布鲁号没有收到攻击)————入侵者很快被发现,然后大家准备回击。鸟海(高雄级)射出鱼雷之后开始撤退,而美军则穷追不舍。
Whilst the main squad distracted the major forces, the rest of the Japanese team (mainly the light cruisers) approachefarrugd from another side, seeking the transports. They suddenly ran into the USS New Orleans, which, alone, was capable of causing a lot of trouble for the whole squad.
在重巡与美方主力缠斗之时,剩余的日军部队(2条轻巡+1驱逐)从另一边进发,寻找运输队。这是,他们和一条落单的新奥尔良级迎头相撞了,这给小队造成了很大的麻烦。
The situation was sa ved by the Minekaze. She managed to set up a s moke screen to allow the team members to prepare for battle. Afterwards, she sneaked near the USS New Orleans and consequently spotted the “transport” vessels staying in-line not far from shore. In a couple of minutes a set of torpedo salvos ended the battle.
这个时候,夕凪(由峰风级客串)化解了危机。它成功的释放出烟雾,这给了其余队员一点准备时间,然后,从新奥尔良溜过去,找到还停留在海边的运输队,发射鱼雷,解决战斗。
So the outcome had turned out to be the opposite to that of the original event. The Japanese stuck to more aggressive tactics acting in an offensive manner, sacrificing a number of their ships. By being inferior in terms of casualties they managed to grasp the initiative and eliminate the US transports.
这一次的结局和历史恰好相反,日军采取了更激进,更直接的手段。虽然损失比较大,但日军还是掌握了主动权,成功摧毁了美军运输队。
We may surely state that our historical battle experiment turned out to be very successful and productive. Not only has it shown, all the pros and cons of the mode but, as well, has demonstrated the necessity of playing as a team.
我们可以说:我们的历史模式被证明是成功的而且具有创造性。不仅是这次战斗,有关这个模式任何的看法,无论支持还是反对,都证明了团队协作的必要性。
