Chapter 366 The Austrian Squadron
Half a month later, the fleet crossed Shunde Prefecture and entered the eastern waters of the South China Sea, about two thousand miles away from Wuyang Prefecture. Lan Bing issued an order to guard the entire ship level three, and the airship troops released three hundred miles.
The scale of the Divine Worker Fleet is not large, and all actions are strictly carried out according to the naval exercises written by Renault.
Renault has written a lot in recent years. First, he wrote various plans and a few boxes. Then he drew a lot of design drawings and added design instructions. After supplementing Zhangtan, Mozi, Luo Ning and Xiaoman, he could not even load the carts. Renault wrote it himself, which was no less than three million words.
With the establishment of the Divine Workers Army, all kinds of exercises were flying everywhere. Not to mention the tiger king's scalp was numb, Renault flipped over and scared himself.
The three armies of the sea, the army, and the air are all added together, and named after the Scriptures, regulations, and military laws, there are more than one hundred and fifty volumes. Not to mention the generals and soldiers, even Renault who wrote these things himself.
These things are actually quite rigid, and Renault doesn't value them very much, but he knows that for the uneducated people of Chu, you have to do this, refine everything to the extreme, even decide what bowl to eat, what to eat every week, what to eat during war, and which direction to go to sleep. As long as you remember these, the soldiers of the Divine Workers Army will not be at a loss and know what they should do under any circumstances.
"Commander Lan, the patrol airship returns. The fleet was discovered two hundred and forty miles away. The flags should be from the Austrians. The number is ten main warships, twenty first-class warships, thirty auxiliary warships, and fifty transport ships." The latest battle report came from the watchtower.
The position of commander is naturally a bit of Renault's evil taste.
The ironclad ship is different from the sailing warship. Although it also has a mast, it is not used. In the middle of the three masts, there is a chimney with a diameter of two meters and a height of twelve meters.
Unlike the ancient warships on Earth, it was not until after the trial voyage that Reno discovered that since many resources in the two worlds are different, the mast is not necessary at all.
The calorific value of orange roast is much higher than that of coal, and the smoke and dust generated is extremely small. The effect of the chimney is much smaller than he imagined, and it cannot even use a quarter of it.
Not only that, the fuel compartment is enough to allow the warship to sail more than 20,000 miles on the sea. In addition to the supply ship behind, the sailing distance can be increased tenfold.
After all, the navy was first established. Apart from the small military port near Shengong City, the Shengong Fleet had no supply port, especially fuel, which was only available in the forbidden area of Death. It could only separate half of the transport ships to load a large amount of orange scorch.
The Zhenyuan-class warship was designed by Renault very unreasonable. After Xiaoman's changes, there were still many problems. Hanging the sails could barely make the warship move, but no one could stand the speed of two to three knots, so he simply gave it up.
One hundred warships and transport ships are a very standard Austrian squadron. Although Renault has never left after he arrived at the forbidden area of God, his grasp of intelligence is not inferior to that of the Great Chu War Department. In many cases, he can even know first, after all, the monitoring effect of the God of Wealth is very excellent.
If he could monitor all the time, he would not need the battle report from Luocheng.
"How far is the Ao people squadron from the coastline?" Lan Bing asked.
"One hundred and fifty miles."
Lan Bing's eyes lit up: "Order the reconnaissance boats to continue reconnaissance, and order the first, second and third airlines to enter the combat preparation process."
It is 150 miles away from the coastline, and this distance is not close. With the speed of the Ao people fleet of eight knots, it will take at least five hours or even longer to dock. Such a long time is enough for Lan Bing to operate.
"Tiger coach, the Ao people's squadron is 150 miles away from the coastline. I obviously don't want us to discover it." Lan Bing's eyes were full of excitement.
"Oh!" The Tiger King responded, obviously he didn't understand what Lan Bing was trying to express.
"If you don't make a mistake, this Austrian squadron is preparing to attack. Judging from their routes and numbers, it is impossible to be the most valuable place between Shunde Prefecture, from Wuyang Prefecture to Shunde Prefecture..." Lan Bing's fingers slowly moved on the map.
It is not a secret that the Ao people lack supplies, so they will definitely find the most valuable places, that is, the most supply.
"here……"
When Lan Bing looked at the map, the Tiger King sitting beside him was also watching. He kept in mind his husband's orders and never interfered in the war at sea. He did not understand naval war at all.
The matter in heaven was handed over to Lan Yunxi. After more than half a month of coming out of Shengong City, the Tiger King did not issue a single order, which made Lan Bing feel that he was the commander of this army.
Since she became the captain of the Charge a year ago, she has gradually become accustomed to the role of the captain. When she arrived in Shengong City, she was still the fleet commander. The difference is that she could only command one warship, but now she has more than a dozen. In her opinion, there is actually not much difference. She feels that she can command more warships.
"No, it's not here." The Tiger King shook his head.
Lan Bing was stunned for a moment. When she first set off, every time she issued an order, she would compete for the Tiger King's opinion, even if she thought she was right. After all, the Tiger King was the commander of this army. Although she had dozens of charge sailors under her command, she knew very well that this army would only obey the orders of her husband, including Lan Bing.
The Tiger King thought for a while, but in fact he had been thinking for a long time. Since Lan Bing took out the map, he had been thinking about it constantly and compared what the teacher had taught him. Lan Bing had performed very well before, even surpassing the Air Force Commander Lan Yunxi, but this time it was wrong. Lan Bing's idea was different from the teacher's guidance.
"Here." The tiger king's thick fingers knocked on Wuyang Mansion a few times.
Lan Bing was stunned for a moment. Didn’t Wuyang Mansion be captured long ago?
Suddenly, Lan Bing reacted and looked at the Tiger King in surprise. This stupid commander seemed... not stupid at all!
That's right, Lan Bing was wrong. Before Zuoqing took over Wuyang Mansion, the Ao people were extremely short of supplies. It is said that during the Battle of Wuyang Mansion, the Ao people's artillery density was very low. They suspected that their shells and gunpowder were insufficient. Some people even saw that the Ao soldiers were holding food and stuffed them into their mouths desperately, as if they were starving ghosts, which meant that there was also a problem with their food supply.
It's really right that the conditions for the second batch of landing troops are far less than those of the first fleet of Lei Army. Not only does it have a base ammunition of a hundred times, but it also has surplus grain for nearly a month.
The supply of the Second Fleet is calculated based on the day. Except for Tamsui, all personnel have two meals a day. Even so, it can only ensure that they will not be hungry when they arrive at Chunjiang Mansion, and they will only have two days to prepare extra rations.
Zuo Qing adjusted his course and changed his way to Wuyang Mansion. He floated on the sea for seven more days. In order to ensure food, he even had to stop boats and fish twice to ensure food supply.
From the moment of the naval battle, the Second Fleet was just burning its boats. If it could not take over the Wuyang Mansion, it would have to live by fishing on the sea.
So when we rushed into Wuyang Mansion, many Austrian soldiers ignored the orders of the peak and robbed food first and ate while fighting.
But the situation is different now. Wuyang Mansion has long been taken down by Zuo Qing. Wuyang Mansion is an extremely important prefecture in the entire Great Chu. If the city of Dachu is ranked, Wuyang Mansion will definitely be in the top five, or even the top three.
Not only is it a large population, a large area, but it is also extremely outstanding in terms of economy, rich in materials and sufficient food. Since Wuyang Mansion has been taken over, the food problem of 500,000 people in the Second Fleet is impossible to have problems.
Therefore, this fleet was not due to the materials going westward. With the material reserves everywhere in Wuyang Mansion, 500,000 people could not digest them at all, and 5 million people were almost the same.
"Commander-in-Chief, do you think?" Lan Bing asked, this time he was sincerely asking for advice, and he took it for granted just now.
The Tiger King shook his head. How did he know? Mr. said that the war is the most important information. Shengong City is eight thousand miles away from Wuyang Mansion and does not belong to the Great Chu War Department. Mr. could get some outdated war reports.
Not to mention that those battle reports were from a few months ago, even a few days ago, it would be difficult to make accurate judgments. Anyway, this time the Divine Workers Army launched an attack, and the gentleman said that it was mainly about training troops and eliminated the vital power of the Austrians as much as possible. As for what they wanted to do, what did they care about.
"There is insufficient intelligence, so we cannot guess randomly. We don't need to know these things. If we encounter them, we will destroy them." The Tiger King said naturally.
The gentleman analyzed to him that even the nearest port will take two and a half months to three months from the Romon Islands to Dachu. In other words, the follow-up troops of the Ao people are at least two months apart, so when one is killed less and one person is killed, no matter what tricks the Ao people want to play, it is all nonsense.
First, what the gentleman said is right.
Second, if it is wrong, please refer to Article 1.
The Tiger King thought so and did it the same way. He was too lazy to guess the intentions of the Austrian squadron, and turned to Lan Bing and said, "Destroy them and use aircraft carriers to control the script."
There is only one core of the aircraft carrier. Use a vehicle to kill enemies from a long distance, and the highest level is to kill enemies without damage.
"yes."
Lan Bing responded and picked up the phone: "Tiger General's order to implement the aircraft carrier combat operation script, the fleet turns, and advances towards the Austrian fleet. The aircraft carrier combat group standard combat methods, each unit calculates distance, time, heading, wind direction, and prepares for combat in batches."
The core of the aircraft carrier control code is easy to understand and can be executed, and requires a lot of calculations. The first is to avoid fighting at night as much as possible. Whether it is an airship or a warship, the Ao people and the Great Chu do not have the ability to fight at night, including ironclad ships.
According to this principle, it is necessary to calculate the distance and time, so that the battle starts in the early morning and ends before dark, so that there can be more combat time.
Under the huge thrust of the boiler, the ironclad ship can run 400 to 500 miles a day. If it is a limit, it can even reach more than 600 miles. However, they are only 240 miles away from the Ao people's squadron, and it is almost dark at this time.
The second article of the aircraft carrier combat operation code is that the combat distance is between ten and fifty miles, which is the most beneficial to the Shengong Fleet.
Note: If an enemy aircraft is found, follow the third item.
