Chapter 171 Troublemakers
On the "Longxing" number.
Half an hour ago, he received a battle report from the Light Cruise Team. He learned that the battle in the southwest direction had ended and all four narrow light cruisers were sunk. Gui Boyong finally breathed a sigh of relief. After solving the internal emergency, he went to the restaurant and got himself a cup of coffee.
Relaxation is one thing, but before the battle is over, he still has to guard the commander's bridge.
At this time, after two in the morning, it is most likely to get sleepy.
Drink a cup of freshly ground coffee before cooking. It tastes so comfortable.
The taste of coffee has always been something that Gui Boyong is proud of, because Bai Zhizhan developed the habit of drinking coffee after following him.
I never thought that the coffee was delivered before it was cold.
Two "Xuhai"-class fast battleships arrived and took the initiative to open fire at the two "gate"-classes.
Is the heads of those two bastards getting water?
The captain was still reporting the situation, but Gui Boyong punched the table, the coffee cup fell down, and the steaming coffee spread all over the floor.
Seeing that Gui Boyong suddenly got angry, the captain immediately shut up.
You can't blame Gui Boyong. If you change to other commanders with bad tempers, you may have already started to curse.
After struggling for a few hours, he finally broke the second main team, dragged the first main team, and won a favorable situation of winning a big victory. Unexpectedly, Li Jie and Jin Hong, the two best friends in Bai Zhizhan, actually became Cheng Yaojin and came out to make trouble halfway.
Definitely making trouble!
Fear that the first main team slipped away?
Can you escape?
The third aviation special mixed fleet commanded by Bai Zhizhan is in the west and will have a whole day tomorrow. Even if the third carrier-based aviation gang suffers heavy losses, the first carrier-based aviation gang that has entered the island to play as a substitute. Not to mention annihilation, it can at least severely damage the first main force.
Besides, what can I do if I escape?
If all the fleet aircraft carriers are lost, the Navy will definitely be defeated. Even if the two "gate"-level ships flee back to the Navy's land, they can only sit in the port and wait for death.
When the special mixed group commanded by Liu Xiangzhen arrived, no matter how many battleships there were in the Nai Navy, it would not be able to make a fortune.
If the warship that fled back did not sink itself, it would be charged as war compensation after the defeat of the Nayi Empire.
The same is true for the four battleships of the second main team.
It is precisely this that we have never pursued each other.
The military strategy says: Don’t chase the enemy if you lose.
Gaoye is the enemy, and chasing him hard will only force him to fight to the death.
To put it more directly, after discovering that he had been defeated, Takaye hoped that someone would fight to his death so that he could realize his value as a Navy soldier.
To be honest, Gui Boyong can best understand Takano's current feelings.
Gui Boyong and Takano are people of the same era. Their experiences are very similar and both are deeply influenced by tradition.
Relatively speaking, Bai Zhizhan, who were about 10 years younger, did not understand Takano so well.
Besides, the decisive battle of a fleet that uses naval guns to decide the outcome often turns into a situation where "kill one thousand enemies, lose eight hundred themselves", and both lose the loss. Therefore, after achieving the main goal, the fleet commander will generally make choices in order to preserve his strength and will not blindly fight the enemy to the death.
In fact, in the era when battleships dominated the ocean, there was no saying of "complete annihilation".
Several fleet decisive battles in the last war ended in a form of losing both sides, and the side that had the advantage did not take advantage of the victory to pursue them.
If you want to say it, it was only after entering the era of aircraft carriers that the example of "full annihilation" appeared.
The naval battles a few days ago, measured by the main combat forces of eliminating the opponents, all met the standard of "full annihilation". The winning side's results far exceed that of the decisive battle of the fleet.
Now, Gui Boyong regrets it very much.
At the beginning, he recommended Li Jie and Jin Hong as the captains of two fast battleships.
The recommendation of them was mainly to give Bai Zhizhan face, and to think about Bai Zhizhan. They were Bai Zhizhan's classmates and best friends. Letting them serve as captains was even more reasonable to convince the Navy Command to distribute the two fast battleships to the special mixed fleet where Bai Zhizhan was located.
Two best friends acted as sword guards, Bai Zhizhan could have less worries when charging into battle.
All in all, it's all for their own good.
Now, the two guys actually put the overall situation behind their minds for a little bit of military achievements!
Gui Boyong had the urge to hit someone. If the two guys stood in front of him now, they would definitely slap them in the face!
If you haven't relieved your anger, you will slap each one in the face.
While Gui Boyong was thinking about what to do, Captain Colonel Li Jiaheng received a call from the first mate.
Because he knew that Gui Boyong would get angry and that the matter was indeed serious, he came to the commander bridge to report the situation to Gui Boyong.
Before coming over, he told the first mate to call him if there is any important news.
"Okay, I understand." Putting down the microphone, Li Jiaheng hesitated for a moment before saying to Gui Boyong: "The lookout measured the distance between the two sides, which was about twenty kilometers."
Gui Boyong's brow jumped quickly a few times.
"Two 'gates' are sailing southwest and have begun to fight back with their main guns, but no explosion flashes were observed."
"You started saying there were twenty kilometers?"
Li Jiaheng nodded, saying that Gui Boyong was not wrong.
"These two stupid guys are not too stupid."
After hearing what Gui Boyong said, Li Jiaheng couldn't help laughing.
The key point is that Gui Boyong's face looks much better.
Why?
That is a battle distance of 20 kilometers!
During the acceptance test, the two "Xuhai" classes demonstrated their powerful night artillery combat capabilities, proving how valuable the gun aiming radar is.
Don’t forget that the gun aiming radar is just not reliable, not because of poor performance.
In addition, during the acceptance test, the local fleet also summarized several tactics of using gun aiming radar for night combat.
To put it simply, as long as you grasp the fire rhythm and make full use of the speed of the fast battleship, enemy ships without gun aiming radar can not fight back!
What's the key?
Without a gun aiming radar, it can only be observed when the opponent fires. Then, based on the distance and interval time of the adjacent two fires, the opponent's heading and speed are roughly inferred, and based on this, the opponent's track is estimated to set the shelling parameters.
Very complex and extremely unreliable.
As long as the opponent changes the speed and course after each fire, the estimated track will have a huge deviation and will not meet the fire control standards at all.
In actual combat, the deviation range often exceeds one-tenth of the range.
In fact, this is the key to the inefficiency of night artillery battles.
Before the gun-aiding radar appears, unless the weather is particularly good, the night sky is cloudless and full moon is best, otherwise the combat distance of night artillery battles will rarely exceed ten kilometers.
No matter how far it is, it is basically a waste of shells.
With gun aiming radar, it's different.
The radar can always "start" the enemy ship and measure the distance from the enemy ship in real time. Instead of estimating the path of the enemy ship, there will be no deviation.
The key is to keep a long enough distance from the enemy ship.
A few months ago, Gui Boyong wrote a report asking the Navy Command to increase its attention to long-range and long-range ammunition and increase relevant investment.
The two "Xuhai" class fired 20 kilometers away, which was equivalent to giving Gui Boyong a reassurance.
It doesn't matter if you waste some shells, as long as the two fast battleships are safe and sound, that's enough.
