Chapter 69 Naval Battle Deduction
Xu Man suppressed the unstable emotions in the university alliance with a tough attitude. Now she has taken all the military institutions under the alliance in her hands. Without major mistakes, her status is still very stable.
Daliang has now built 220 sloop warships in the four military port shipyards, giving Xu Man great confidence. Two days later, a new fleet will be established and opened to the port, and the entire sea area will be the hunting grounds for the Yunxiao Fleet and the Judgment Fleet.
The Blackfire Fleet continued to park in the north of the lord's joint fleet under the banner of the Pudong Fleet. Daliang used a model to form the joint fleet on the tactical chart based on the intelligence provided by the ruling army, and then worked with Sidney to deduce the naval battle that would take place in two days.
During the deduction, Daliang commanded the lord's joint fleet and Sidney commanded the Blackfire fleet.
Seeing that the opponent was a fleet dominated by sloops, Sidney said: "If Lord Lord only has one three-masted warship and two two-masted warships, I will command the Black Fire Fleet to destroy your fleet."
Daliang pointed to the sloops outside the lord's joint fleet and said, "I still have 80 sloops, which are far superior to the Black Fire Fleet in terms of firepower."
Sidney shook his head and said, "If anyone has more artillery in naval battles, whoever has the advantage, what else can the Pudong Fleet build battleships? The cost of a battleship is enough to build dozens and hundreds of sloop warships. These sloop warships can be equipped with more artillery than a battleship. Please see!"
Sidney asked the Blackfire Fleet to line up a battle line, and then used the sloop battleship to set up a battle line, saying: "Naval battle is comparable to the firepower delivery ability within the area, and the real effective shelling is at a distance of 200 to 300 meters. After my Blackfire Fleet opened the battle line at sea, there were only about ten sloop battleships within the range of artillery combat. Other sloop battleships could not attack us due to shooting angle problems, and no matter how much firepower was, it would be a waste.
The number of artillery fire of ten sloops was fifty, and all of our 90 artillery fires on one side were able to exert their power, with nearly twice the firepower of the opponent.
The role of sloops in the navy is to reconnaissance and establish tactical isolation areas, so it pays more attention to speed and defense is the weakness of sloops. Sloops are conventional combat ships and pays more attention to defense. Our warships completely crush sloops in defense capabilities.
Therefore, the single-maid warship fought against the double-maid warship and the three-maid warship, which basically means killing him again.
For example, this deduced naval battle. After entering the battlefield, I used the "Skeleton Soldier" and "Skeleton Warriors" with relatively strong defense capabilities to serve as the first and stern ships of the fleet, close to the coastline and close to the enemy fleet, so that the enemy fleet could not attack us from the beginning and end.
During the firefighting on the battle lines, the enemy fleet soon discovered that fighting with us with a sloop is a record for us. Even if we send that three-masted warship and two sloops, we are not our opponent.
Their only way is to sail out of the sea, lead us off the coastline, and then use the speed of the sloop to attack us from the beginning and the end.
If they change their routes and sail outwards, they will be in and defeated.
If their fronts remain intact.
We can avoid attacks from the beginning and the end by taking a serpentine route.
As the same goes, their firepower cannot be exerted, and even if they occupy some favorable positions, they cannot threaten us.
In short, the performance of the warships on both sides is too different. As long as we can maintain a good formation and keep a close eye on their three main battleships, there is no problem in defeating this fleet dominated by sloops without losing air supremacy."
kao!
In Sidney's mouth, this fleet that showed off his might on the sea was like a native chicken and a tile dog. All the numbers were clouds, and you could just go over and crush them.
But with the seven warships of the Black Fire Fleet, is it really okay to fight the 80 ships of the lords' Combined Fleet?
"Just with the Black Fire Fleet can really win so many ships?"
Sidney said confidently: "As long as we don't make big mistakes, there is no problem in defeating them. Of course... If the adults want to wipe out them all, they still need a large number of sloop warships. After all, the enemy fleet is mainly composed of fast sloop warships. If we escape, our warships will not catch up."
If the Blackfire Fleet can really crush the lord's joint fleet, the Yunxiao Fleet and the Judgment Ship will only fight in the late stage, which will reduce a lot of losses.
In order to prove Sidney's statement, Daliang used the lord joint fleet to deduce with Sidney on the tactical chart.
As expected, as Sidney said, the Blackfire Fleet only needs to make good use of the terrain or take serpentine routes, Daliang has a number of warships far exceeding the Blackfire Fleet, but most of them can only watch the battle. Sidney can even use Daliang's mistakes and positioning to make the joint fleet only invest eight warships in exchange for fire with the Blackfire Fleet.
There are no warships to withstand the attacks of the Black Fire Fleet. The unsuppressed Black Fire Fleet has full firepower. The lords' joint fleet can only use oil-adding tactics, filling the battleships in the middle of the battlefield one by one. Many of the sloop battleships that Daliang put into the battlefield cannot even find the position and will be sunk, which is like queuing to death.
After deducing it back and forth several times, the lords' joint fleet commanded by Daliang ended in a crushing defeat, proving once again that the naval battle is indeed the place where giant ships and cannons show their power.
Daliang used his authority to view the naval battle plan formulated by the Staff Office, and expected to lose 50-60 single-boat warships.
"Stop and stop, build warships without any money. If the warships sink, they cannot be harvested. Losing 60 sloops means losing 600,000 gold coins. The naval battle plan is to re-engage. The task of all sloops is to prevent the defeated lords' joint fleet from escaping and minimize the losses."
The staff of the staff asked inexplicably: "Captain Daliang Legion, our sloops will all prevent the defeated lords' joint fleet from escaping. Who will defeat them?"
Daliang, who learned all the tactics and countermeasures from Sidney, was very arrogant: "Of course it's the commander of this legion. I borrowed two three-masted warships and five two-masted warships from the Pudong fleet. At that time, I will be responsible for attacking the lords' joint fleet. You can only formulate a later plan of encirclement and annihilation."
"Seven ships hit more than eighty ships, Big Liang... have you drunk too much?"
"I haven't drunk, so I'm sober! Just plan as I said. Then, I'll watch carefully and record the video carefully. Watch this commander of the legion stage a game for you like a textbook, what is the weak defeating the strong, and what is the level crushing. You staff officers, don't think about winning by quantity, learn tactics, do you understand tactics?"
"Okay, you're the commander of the legion, you have the final say."
Under Da Liang's order, the staff of the General Staff began to re-formulate maritime tactics.
