Section 868 Upper hand? Leeward?

After the meeting, the officers returned to their respective warships with combat deployments and called the crews for combat mobilization.

When they set sail around 4 p.m., morale is nothing to say!

With the idea of defending the country (in fact, the government has not yet established a country in the southeast), defending their families and land, and the idea of serving the leader, the soldiers set sail in high spirits.

Unlike before, the soldiers wore wide fisherman-style hats to shade the sun, but there were still no stools on the deck, and everyone from the commander to the minions stood.

Our side is fighting on the mainland, and logistics can be supplied along the coast, so all the warships were only loaded with food and water for seven days, and then not more, and the tonnage was used for shells, bullets, and gunpowder.

The officers and men were well aware of their tasks, and when engaging the enemy, they fired more artillery and hit them on time.

Send all the red-haired fans to the bottom of the sea to feed the sharks, let the baby sharks gain some weight, and then cut the fins to make shark fins next year!

The Chinese fleet moved slowly and unwibly to the west, while the Hongmao fleet moved east, and two hostile fleets were approaching.

On the St. George, the forward flagship of the Red Hair Fleet, the officers and men on the deck were busy, changing the boom according to the direction of the wind and rushing to the wind.

The Lord General Blake the Turnip Head was reading the Bible in his cabin, praying for the coming war.

"Lord, bless us to defeat the enemy and let the children return home safely!" He reverently paddled the crossroads.

Unlike the rest of the fanatical red-haired fan, Radish Head Black knows exactly what kind of enemy he will face.

He once visited Phineas Pate, a British shipbuilder who helped Yan Changwu build a third-class battleship, and knew a lot about the battleships in the Southeastern Province.

Mr. Pate admonished Blake, the turnip-head, "Dealing with the Chinese can be the same as dealing with the Dutch, and the Spaniards are inferior to the Chinese!" ”

Spain was a dead man, while the Dutch were in their prime, and they had a lot of fun with the British, and in naval battles, the British could not easily defeat the Dutch.

So Blake the turnip-headed gave the order to the side: "Capture the Eather Gauge!" (Seize the upper hand)

Unlike the Southeast Army of the Eastern Military Department, which likes to make long speeches for mobilization, Radish Head Black is a very simple order, showing his determination!

Let's say you're a ship captain and do you prefer to have the upper hand or the lower wind when fighting?

What the? Doesn't matter?

You're going to hurt a boatload of people!

In the downwind battle, if you can't win, immediately anchor, and then the wind, bye you, the other party can't catch up.

There is also a big advantage of the downwind outlet, when the battleship swings sideways, the wind blows, the waves hit, and all the guns are on the sea.

The coolest thing is that the ship is downwind, because the muzzle of the gun is facing up, and it can be used exclusively to hit the enemy's mast and crossbar, and the chain bullet is used to use that cool, knocking down the sails and cables of the enemy's ship, leaving the mast like a hairless thing.

Without sails, it's still called a sail battleship?

It can't be moved, it's called wood on the sea.

Therefore, only the British liked to have the upper hand in the fleets of various European countries, and the rest of the fleets liked to seize the upper hand.

But what they didn't expect was that they wanted to run before they fought, and the officers and men naturally ran when they had the opportunity, and they didn't have the mentality of winning the war.

If you change it, you are in the upper wind, you can't hold it and want to slip, where to run? Anchor together, the wind blows, and it is sent directly to the front of the muzzle.

What about the upwind? If the waves are too strong, the muzzles of the lower layers cannot be opened, and as a result, the firepower is sharply reduced.

What did the British Navy do? The British Navy insisted on seizing the upper hand in combat, and the entire fleet was single-mindedly seizing the upper hand.

The British Navy, on the other hand, is the teacher of the Chinese Navy, and the Navy of the Southeast Province has imitated everything from the combat mode to the manufacture of warships and even the iron naval guns, and has gone out of its own way.

The British Navy has the upper hand in battle, and the Chinese also like to have the upper hand!

The Chinese imitated the British ships and innovated the old and innovated, creating the first battleships of the sail period, and the British, in turn, learned and launched their own battleships.

Britain lacked copper, so they made iron cannons to serve as naval cannons, while the southeastern provinces made copper cannons and iron cannons together--- a big business, and the benefits of scale were here.

In this attack on the southeastern province, the British battleships took the lead, the turnip-headed Blake insisted on gaining the upper hand, and the rest of the fleets of the countries also agreed.

As for Tromp's practice of not attacking the city and directly taking the opponent's fleet to divide the victory, the turnip-headed Blake is also full of approval.

Both fleets were advancing, and finally in the early morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the two fleets engaged in a battle in the waters near Lingka Island, at the southeast sharp corner of the Malay Peninsula.

This time period is considered winter, but the sky is very good, and the sea is full of golden light early in the morning, and it seems that the sun is also in high spirits and wants to watch a big show.

In that case, then fight hard and don't be too embarrassed.

The wind was not very strong, and the two fleets approached, and as coincidentally, prayers rang out from all the ships.

"Bless us, Lord!" Red-haired Fandao.

"Merciful Mazu Niangniang, may you bless us with victory, and we will bring your glory to the oceans!" The Chinese officers and soldiers said.

"Fight for the leader!" The captains of the ships raised their arms and shouted.

The subordinates also enthusiastically responded: "Fight for the leader!" ”

The black warrior Siresma on the "Southeast Asia No. 8" in the Chinese army formation sequence looked at the flagship "Southeast Asia No. 2" and said in his heart: "Morale is available, but the enemy has the upper hand and there are many of them, so I don't know what countermeasures the commander will take, the upper hand?" Leeward? ”

Chen De on the flagship was faced with a difficult choice, and he asked Shi Lang, the deputy captain next to him, "What do you think?" ”

Shi Lang is young, but he has been plated with a layer of thick gold because he sailed around the world with Hong Xiguan, and he once commanded a warship to pass through the storm at the Cape of Good Hope, and this qualification is solid!

After returning home, he took the fast track to promotion, and now he is the deputy captain of a battleship.

His military rank is major, as long as he has fought this battle, if he survives, the lieutenant colonel will definitely not be able to run, and even the colonel is possible, and the rank of colonel can be the captain of a battleship.

Seeing that the marshal was careful about himself, Shi Langxiong said with high spirits: "Naturally, we must fight when we encounter the enemy, and we will seize the upper hand to fight!" ”

"No!" Chen De shook his head and ordered: "All ships are fighting against the wind!" ”

The flag representing the downwind battle was raised in the wind, and all the warships also raised their flags in response, and Ceresma nodded: "Sure enough!" ”

Chen De was conservative, and he put "protecting the ship" as the top.

If you can fight, you will fight, if you can't fight, you will flee, and keep the battleship.

It's good to exist, the other side can't do anything big until they destroy our fleet.

The disadvantage is that such tactics are contrary to the glorious traditions of the army.

We will fight when we meet the enemy!

Overcome difficulties, minor injuries do not get out of the line of fire!

Now only Chen De dares to order this, and only he can make those unruly captains obey orders.

In other words, if Hong Xiguan said that he would fight with the wind, his deputy commander Cheng Yu would dare not to bird him!

What the? Hold Cheng Yu accountable for non-compliance?

Cheng Yu will laugh loudly: "Reasonable orders are accepted by labor and management, and unreasonable orders are not accepted by labor and management!" In all the previous naval battles, the enemy beat the labor and management blind, severed hands, lame, and became a half-man, and the life of the labor and management has been entrusted to the leader, who dares to say that the labor and management are disloyal! ”

What's more, the foreign general Siresma dared to say to Hong Xiguan: "You should die in honor of battle, if you dare to take a step back, labor and management will fire at you, and you will be shot in the name of your cowardice and dare not fight!" ”

But no matter who it is, they can't say hard things to Chen De, Chen De said: "When labor and management fought the country with the leader's father, you didn't know where to eat!" "You can push them back.

The Hongmao fleet has the upper hand, and the Southeast Province fleet has the upper hand, all of which have become all the way.

It's like dancing a ballet, and the two sides slowly enter the arena.

"Boom!" Cheng Yu, who took the lead, fired the first shot!
