Chapter 771 Naval Battle

The blue sky and white clouds, coupled with the green sea, is a beautiful picture. If the poet sees such a scene, he must be full of poetry, and casually recite the verses that have been handed down through the ages. It is hard to imagine that in such a harmonious scene In the scene, an unprecedented large-scale naval battle is about to break out.update the fastest

Standing on the deck, seeing such a beautiful scene, Su Tiancheng's mood gradually calmed down. The habits he had developed over the years made him less nervous. calm.

The division of labor in this battle is very clear. Xiong Zijian and He Renlong led [-] cavalry to Quanzhou, Fujian, destroyed Zheng Zhilong's lair, captured Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong, Sun Chuanting, Qu Qingze, Wu Sangui, Liu Tiehan, Wang Dazhi and others, Accompanying Su Tiancheng to fight against the Zheng family's warship, Luo Chang was in charge of stationing Dengzhou and at the same time taking care of Penglai City, Di Huaixiang was in charge of stationing in Yantai to protect the safety of the base, Ma Xianglin was in charge of stationing in Weihaiwei to protect the safety of the pier, and the rest of the Jiangning battalion soldiers, On high alert, the Jiangning battalion stationed in Qingzhou dispatched [-] soldiers and horses to Antonwei, which is close to the sea in the south. Take down all the prisoners of war.

The warship formation set off from the Penglai City Military Port, and did not disturb anyone. Even some merchants and residents living in Penglai City did not know that the navy had already set off. Those who stayed in Penglai City still had a warship formation. After the warship formation set off, apart from the Qingzhou warship formation that remained in Penglai City, the remaining Pingdu warship formation and Wendeng warship formation entered Yantai Base and Weihaiwei Wharf one after another to take charge of guarding tasks.

The battle deployment this time is absolutely confidential, not to mention the family members of the officers and soldiers of the navy, even Su Tiancheng's family members.He didn't even know the deployment of this battle. When Su Tiancheng left the Dengzhou Governor's Mansion, he told his family that he needed to go down for inspection, and the Spring Festival was coming soon.The more festivals come, the more I want to go down to see the living conditions of the common people. Although Chunping and the others are a little unhappy, but the husband is concerned about the court and has a heavy responsibility, so there is nothing he can do about it. [

Once the battleship formation sails into the sea.All the intelligence systems are basically useless, and everything is executed according to the tactics set before departure. Nowadays, there are no radar and line equipment, which can transmit information all the time, but the Jiangningying Navy has already occupied Great advantage now.Before departure, a detailed deployment was made, and the information of the warship formation led by Zheng Hongkui was basically mastered, and a specific combat plan was formulated in a targeted manner.

Su Tiancheng was on the Penglai No. 200 warship. This warship was also the command ship for the entire battle, and basically would not participate in the attack.Sun Chuanting, Qu Qingze, Wang Dazhi and others were all on this warship. There were not many soldiers on the warship, only [-] people. The main task of these people was to issue orders.

Naval battle orders are clarified by flags, war drums, and sea numbers, and shouting is useless. Such a large battleship formation cannot be clarified by shouting.For such a command system, Su Tiancheng is also a little worried. Although he has gone through many trainings, how effective it will be when he actually enters the actual combat.Still need to check.

Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, and Li Dingguo should also be on the Penglai No. [-] warship, but during the consultations before departure, they made a request to participate in the battle. Considering the suggestions made by the three of them, they also Familiar with some situations of water warfare, Sun Chuanting agreed to their request. Liu Wenxiu led the soldiers under his jurisdiction to board the Yantai No. [-] warship, Ainengqi led the soldiers under his jurisdiction to board the Weihai No. [-] warship, He led the sergeants under his jurisdiction and boarded the Dengzhou No. [-] warship.

Except for the Penglai No. [-] warship, the rest of the Yantai No. [-] warship, Weihai No. [-] warship, Dengzhou No. [-] warship, and Laizhou No. [-] warship are the main warships in this battle and will undertake the main offensive tasks. Among them, the Yantai Warship Formation specializes in dealing with small ships, including the five Haicang ships belonging to the Penglai Warship Formation, which are temporarily assigned to the Yantai Warship Formation, focusing on dealing with small ships. After completing the mission, they will be returned to the organizational system.

The detailed battle plan has been printed into Su Tiancheng's mind.

After entering the open sea, the huge formation of warships is insignificant compared with the vast sea. The formation of warships sails at a uniform speed. The speed of giant warships used to be the most troublesome problem. At that time, the lucky boat was driven by human power, and could only be driven by the power of the waves. Its speed was extremely slow, and it could only travel a few nautical miles per hour. This is the most advanced technology today, and it is also the only technology possessed by the Jiangningying Navy. Therefore, the sailing speed of the navy's warship formation can maintain a speed of ten knots per hour, that is, ten knots per hour. knot speed, which is not easy.

One nautical mile is equal to 37 miles. That is to say, the speed of the warship formation reached [-] miles per hour, which is already a frightening speed. You must know that the sailing speed of an aircraft carrier hundreds of years later is Thirty knots an hour.

The reason why Su Tiancheng has strong self-confidence is because of the huge size of the warships and patrol boats. This is equivalent to the aircraft carrier group hundreds of years later. It is unbelievable to have reached one hundred ships. Thanks to the efforts of David and others, with the opening of Weihaiwei, many technicians from the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal came to Dengzhou and entered the The shipyard, the shipyard has more than a thousand technical personnel. These people are divided into two parts, one part is dedicated to research work, to find out the weaknesses of warships and patrol boats and improve them, and the other part is dedicated to warships and patrol boats. During the construction of ships, all the technicians from the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and other countries who came to the shipyard were impressed by the huge warships and patrol boats, and even regardless of the level of salary, they had to stay to participate in the development and manufacturing among.

Naval combat tactics, in fact, have existed since the Ming Dynasty, but the court did not pay attention to them. These ideas actually have the brilliance of modern and modern naval combat thinking, that is, "Use a big ship to defeat a small ship, use a big blunderbuss to defeat a small blunderbuss, and use a large gun to defeat a small blunderbuss. More ships save fewer ships, and more guns win than few guns.”

This battle idea is very clear, especially the reference to using a big ship to win a small ship, and a big gun to win a small gun. The so-called big ship wins a small boat means to use a huge warship to suppress the opponent's warship and make the opponent It is daunting, and when necessary, you can use a giant warship to hit the opponent's warship. This reflects the decisive role of naval warfare, or it lies in the combat effectiveness and size of the ship. Just imagine, any advanced warship, it is impossible to compete with the aircraft carrier of.

The so-called victory of a large blunderbuss against a small blunderbuss fully reflects the strength of the firepower configuration. This is a tactic of winning with equipment. The intensity of firepower between the two sides competes, and the firepower that occupies an absolute advantage can make the opponent have no power to fight back. This kind of thinking is modern. It is very easy for people to understand. It is true that earth guns and earth cannons cannot beat aircraft and cannons. Even if you have a tenacious fighting spirit, in a battle with disparity in firepower, fighting spirit means everything. Sometimes, you may only Increase casualties.

All these advantages are possessed by the Jiangningying Navy.

First of all, judging from the size of the warships and patrol boats, the largest warship owned by the Zheng Zhilong Navy is only two-thirds of the warships of the Jiangningying Navy. There are more than fifty such warships. This time There are only ten large warships dispatched. Facing a hundred giant warships, there is no room to fight back. Secondly, comparing the quantity and quality of artillery, Zheng Zhilong's navy has solid artillery. This kind of artillery, After hitting the opponent, it can make a big hole, and it may also sink the opponent's small or medium-sized ship, or lose its combat effectiveness. The biggest problem with this kind of solid is that it is impossible to hit it with a single blow when facing a large or giant warship. To control the enemy, the artillery possessed by the Jiangningying Navy is a formidable flower. The hit ship is facing the situation of being smashed to pieces. If it is hit by multiple shells, there is no chance of escape.

At the same time, in this battle, Zheng Zhilong did not pay attention to the Jiangningying Navy Division. Zheng Zhilong lived in the era of the Ming Dynasty, so it is impossible for him to have any scientific and technological vision. His judgment on the combat effectiveness of the army is limited to experience. , that is, an army that has been fighting for a long time, its combat effectiveness must be strong, especially the navy, without long-term running-in and actual combat, it is impossible to have much combat effectiveness , It was just an embroidered pillow, and it was not an opponent of his navy at all, so Zheng Zhilong had sufficient confidence and no scruples in this experience.

This cannot be blamed on Zheng Zhilong. He has lived in the south for a long time, and his main energy is on the sea. He always thinks about maintaining hegemony at sea and increasing income for the family. In recent years, although he has paid attention to the construction of cavalry and infantry , but without enough fierce generals, there will not be much improvement.

Analyzing from these aspects, there is almost no suspense in this naval battle. The only thing that needs to be concerned is how much victory the Jiangningying Navy can achieve, whether they can sink all the [-] warships led by Zheng Hongkui, or capture them. some ships.

Su Tiancheng thinks so, but he will not reveal his thoughts. He needs the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion to show their aura of being second to none in battle. The decisive role of science and technology in war is now People in this era have some understanding, but they have not yet reached that level. In a battle where cold weapons are the mainstay, it is the individual's bravery that plays a decisive role. (To be continued.
