Therefore, Li Huamei also felt a little shaken: Is it the most correct choice to insist on implementing column tactics at this time? Li Huamei's deputy general suggested that it would be better to switch to free combat, so that more than a dozen warships that can be controlled now can turn around and participate in the battle. This might be better.
In fact, Li Huamei doesn't know how to choose at the same time. After all, at this time, you can study, analyze, and rehearse calmly in front of the simulated sand table. But at the same time, Li Huamei also knows that the more you are at this time, the more you have to make a quick decision and make a choice immediately. No matter how you choose, it is better than not. To be honest, a trace of the idea of free combat has indeed flashed in Li Huamei's heart, because at this time, every commander will unconsciously adopt the tactics that he is best at and most confident. Among the eight squadrons of the Fubo Army, only Li Huamei's fleet is best at disrupting wars, and even compared with the Dutch fleet, there is no more giving in.
But this idea only flashed in Li Huamei's mind, and was immediately abandoned by Li Huamei's intuition that was almost instinctive. So Li Huamei immediately ordered: "Send the order and turn your head in a large arc immediately. All other ships behind must keep their queues and not be distracted."
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
In fact, the focus of the attack of the Dutch fleet was not the front line of the Chinese army, but the middle of the column. The purpose was to divide the Chinese army's column into two, completely disrupt the column queue of the Chinese army, and drag the battle situation into the chaos that the Dutch fleet was best at.
Therefore, just as the two flagships were fighting with the front of the Chinese army, more than ten Dutch warships had already gone to the middle of the Chinese army column and then launched a direct attack on the Chinese army.
At this time, several warships in the middle of the Chinese military column were advancing with the formation. Seeing several Dutch warships rushing towards him on both sides, they immediately opened up firepower. The artillery on both sides of the left and right strings fired with all its strength, and the shells kept firing towards both sides like raindrops.
In the naval battles of this era, the head of the ship against the enemy's side is basically synonymous with death, but in order to disrupt the column of the Chinese army, this price must be paid. Although the military discipline of the Dutch fleet is scattered, it does not mean that the Dutch soldiers are cowards. When the battle situation is obviously unfavorable, it is understandable to choose to retreat. However, when the battle is in a downwind and stalemate with the war, the Dutch officers and soldiers can still withstand it, and the battle is quite brave. Otherwise, it would not be possible to dominate the world for nearly a hundred years in this era in another time and space.
Moreover, the Dutch soldiers now know that Guan Jian, who was successful and failed in this battle, would take the initiative in this battle as long as he could penetrate the Chinese army's ranks and thus win the battle. Therefore, although the Chinese army's firepower was very strong, the Dutch fleet still rushed towards the Chinese army's ranks without any hesitation. Of course, when he was marching, he still did not forget to change the route left and right, making it difficult for the Chinese army's artillery to aim, and also fully demonstrated the Dutch's skill in sailing.
However, under the intensive blow, no matter how good the dodge technology is, it is impossible to avoid all the shells. Therefore, under the fierce attack of the Chinese army, two Dutch warships were hit and the side of the ship was cracked. The sea water poured in and slowly began to sink. Several Dutch warships were also severely damaged. One of the warships called Garland was severely damaged. The head mast and front main mast were demolished, and the hull was cracked in many places. However, the Dutch warship simply stopped dodging, but drove the remaining sails with all its might and slammed into the Chinese army's formation.
