After about an hour, the fleets of the two sides met at sea. Since the two sides basically dumped this time, the number of ships dispatched by the two sides exceeded hundreds, and the scale was obviously much larger than the previous two wars.
The Chinese army's fleet is divided into two parts, which are ranked by the first fleet of the Nanyang Fleet first, the three -point fleet and the Beiyang Fleet. There are 53 warships in the Fourth Squad of the Nanyang Fleet and Shangyi.
The three columns are arranged in the middle of the South Ocean Fleet. There are a total of 24 warships. The second -branch fleet of the Beiyang Fleet is left to the left. There are 23 warships. A warship, with the nanology fleet of the central South Ocean fleet, is slightly protruding. The left and right fleets are slightly behind, while the three fleets are horizontal with a distance of about 300 meters apart. The formation is nearly 800 meters horizontally, and the vertical is about 2,000 meters.
Although the main warships of these three sub -fleets are less than 20, the Chinese Army also assisted some of the auxiliary warships with artillery, and also participated in this battle. After all, it is now a full war. The ships also need to use it. Among each of the branch fleets of the Chinese Army Navy, there are one to two auxiliary battleships of more than a thousand tons. Although the Chinese Army's auxiliary warships do not have the fast speed and flexible operation, but the body shape is huge, but the body shape is huge. , The hull is strong and the sailing is stable. Once it is equipped with enough artillery, the firepower is not inferior to the main battleships of the same level, and the column tactics value the firepower of the wars, not the speed and flexibility of the warship. Therefore, in the tactics of the auxiliary wars, the best advantage can also be used.
Now one of these three fleets has one first -class battleship, five second -class battleships, and auxiliary battleships of more than a thousand tons. For more than three thousand tons of auxiliary warships, although the Dutch fleet transformed five thousand tons of transport ships into warships, the number of large warships is still far less than that of the Chinese army. Therefore Above the fleet.
After seeing the formation of the Chinese Army, Trump also knew that the Chinese Army must have absorbed the lessons of the previous war, because after the column was pulled too long, it was easy to be cut by the enemy. The tactical tactics of the column are parallel, which can shorten the length of the column, and if you want to attack the middle section of the Chinese army, it is not so easy.
In addition, the Chinese Army initially used three columns to play in parallel, instead of two or four, but also made careful arrangements, because the advantage of the column is that it can exert the firepower of the left and right side at the same time, but use it to use it. The two columns are in parallel, which actually has a weakened artillery, which can only be used to use single -side artillery, which greatly weakens the combat effectiveness of the column tactics. Therefore Two batches, the sides of the offensive Chinese military column are fine.
But now the Chinese Army uses three columns in parallel. It seems that there is still a wave of combat effectiveness. However, if the Dutch fleet is divided into left and right wings offensive, the middle column can kill the formation at any time. Attacking the Dutch fleet, so the Dutch fleet must also be divided into three parts to welcome the enemy, and the fleet of the middle column in the middle of the Chinese army is still very difficult, because they cannot enter the middle of the two columns of the Chinese army, and they will be suffered by the Chinese army. The attack from both sides can only be blocked in front of the column of the Chinese army, and the troops cannot be too small. This will make the Dutch fleet very heady. A column was abolished.
Therefore, Trump couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seems that the Chinese army is really prepared for this battle, but if it is not fully prepared, the Chinese army will not put on such a payment The framework of the decisive battle.
But at this step, there is no other way, so Trump also ordered that 70 warships were dispatched, which was also divided into three batches to face the Chinese army. The reserve team, because the Chinese army also still has a lot of preparatory fleets.
Because of the three column tactics of the Chinese Army, the Dutch warships were also divided into left, middle and right, to face the fleet of the Chinese Army.
The mid -point fleet of the Nanyang Fleet is the first -class battleship. The commander Qi Jiguang is the first -class battleship. Good Perak Rocket.
Because after the last battle, the Chinese Army also realized the important role of the Perak Rockets in this naval battle. Therefore, this time, Shang Yi also ordered to mix more than half of the army's Perak Rockets and use it to the navy. The three sub -fleets of the leading array are equipped with a large number of box -type thunderbolt rockets, which is nearly doubled than the normal volume. The Qi Jiguang has a total of 25 Perak rocket boxes. Fifteen, twenty -five branches.
At this time, at the head of Qi Jiguang, eight Perak rocket boxes were installed on both sides, only to wait for the Dutch fleet to enter the range, and on other warships, the Perak rocket box was also arranged.
At this time, the Dutch warships were completely separated, like a large net. From the three directions to the Chinese army's fleet, the fleets on both sides passed through the Zhonghua Army's middle column, and they were spunning from the outside. It is close to the left and right columns of the Chinese Army, and the mid -road fleet is fully unfolded, approaching the middle column.
The enemy ships on both sides are too far away from the middle column, nor are their own enemy battleships. Therefore, the South Asian tiger ignored them, but kept staring at the enemy ship in front of the middle column, and was planning the distance between the two sides.
Generally speaking, in addition to a small number of artillery, in the same level, the cannons of the naval guns are shorter than that of the land barrel, so the range is closer, coupled with the difficulty of naval aiming, so the warship warfare is fought. Therefore The distance is generally within 500 meters. In the [Navy Tactical Regulations] formulated by Black, it is stipulated that only the enemy ship enters within 400 yards can the shooting fire, and the maximum range of the Perak Rocket is about 600 meters, but The limited range is more than 400 meters, which is similar to the range of the guns.
The distance between the two sides is gradually getting closer, from 700 meters to 600 meters to 500 meters, to 400 meters ... The front gun of Qi Jiguang first fired, and a bombardment was launched to the enemy ship who entered the self -range. And the Dutch warship also shot back with the first cannon, which opened the curtain of this battle.
Because at this time, the two sides were relative, the ship's first pair of ships, so they could only use the front guns to attack. The Chinese army was a column formation. The warship fired, but in this era, there were only two front guns of the battleship, and there were only four large ships with more than a thousand tons. Therefore, although the battle started, it was not fierce.
But at this time, the South Asian tiger ordered that the Perak Rockets who launched the ship's head, on the bow of Qi Jiguang, put two thirty -six Perak rockets. At this time With the ignition of the ignition, after a series of sharp empty sounds, the seventy -two rockets carried flames and smoke from the head of the line to the air from the head of the ship to the air. Beginning down and falling down, screwing towards the Dutch fleet.
At this time, the distance between the two sides was about 400 meters. Although there were many warships in the Netherlands, they were also scattered. At the same time, the Dutch warships did not fill the sails. Generally, the sail that will be reduced by half, which also shows that the Dutch fleet has some preparations for the Chinese Army's Perak Rockets.
Therefore, there are not many really hit the enemy ship in this wave of thunder rockets. There are only six branches. They hit four Dutch warships and burned on the warship. Most of the rockets fell directly into the sea. The explosion in the sea stirred up a flowing water, the fire oil floated on the water, burning on the sea; but many rockets had not yet fallen, and it exploded in the air. In the air, three other Dutch warships were burned in the burning fire oil, and it was burned.
And the Dutch warship did have made a lot of preparations for the Perak Rockets of the Chinese Army. The sailors on the warships, the crew also prepared the bucket, wet mud, and was ready to extinguish the fire at any time. At this time The fire is not large. If the movement is extremely extremely, it can still extinguish it quickly.
However, the Chinese Army did not stop launch. Immediately after the Qi Jiguang, two Perak rocket boxes were continuously launched. At the same time, the warships also started to turn. From linear sailing to oblique lines, the artillery on the side side could play a role.
The Qi Jiguang changed the direction, and the next warships also turned together. Therefore, the side side of the Chinese army fleet gradually made it out. The Dutch fleet launched the Perak Rockets. For a while, the sky was full of fire, and thousands of Perak Rockets scored to the Dutch warships.
Although at least 80 % of the rockets fell directly to the sea or exploded in the air, under such dense blows, many rockets still directly ordered the Dutch warships, plus the fire that splashed down from the air exploded from the air. Oil, so each Dutch warship burned a variety of fires, and the crew and sailors on the Dutch warships were also busy, and worked hard to fight the fire.
Although this round of rocket attacks, almost 80 % of the Perak Rockets assembled by the first fleet, the purpose is undoubtedly reached. At this time, the entire column was obliquely line. The first ship Qi Jiguang was less than 100 meters away from the enemy ship. Therefore, the ships all opened the guns and launched a violent elbow to the Dutch warships.
