It is not difficult to predict the victory of a war, but it is necessary to predict how to win a war, for example, in the Gulf War that year, everyone thought that the joint **** led by the United States could win. But how to win? At least at that time, the ** thought that the two sides would fight for 300 rounds, throw a bunch of corpses, and have a few Middle Eastern versions of Kursk! As a result, the real fight began, and after dozens of days of air strikes, it was resolved in a few weeks, and the casualties of the American army were just over three digits. On the Iraqi side, it seems that there is no accurate figure so far!

Now the main event is finally here! The previous content is nonsense in relation to this question! The Americans can also see who can win, and Simpson and others will not think that Beiyang can defy the sky with an armored cruiser Mainz! The Japanese got 3 ships from the British!

"Sooner or later, the fleets of both sides will have to fight a big war, and although the Japanese side has a clear advantage, they will still pay a heavy price! After this battle, the Beiyang Fleet will lose the engagement capability of the Grand Fleet, and the few warships will be transferred to the battle to break the battle! It is very likely that the fast warships of both sides will chase and fight in the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and even the coastal waters of Japan! Ruprecht said.

"This, I doubt the efficiency of the post-breaking operation, which is not simple, it requires logistics, reconnaissance and multi-faceted assistance, and fighting on the enemy's home ground is itself a serious disadvantage. This is extremely demanding for both the warship and the personnel. ”

"Believe me, this battle to break diplomatic relations can definitely go down in history, I have come into contact with the officers and men of the Beiyang Navy, their quality is even better than that of the Japanese Navy, and their tragedy lies entirely with their government. At least the vast majority of them will fight to the end! Ruprecht said.

"As for the tactics in the decisive battle, both fleets will be composed of two sub-fleets, the main fleet composed of old-fashioned warships that are mainly slow and the fast fleet composed of high-speed new-style warships!"

"Because the fast warships on both sides are relatively new warships, fast and powerful, it is difficult to destroy them in a short time. Therefore, in line with the principle that it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers, the fast fleets of both sides will give full play to their speed advantage to intercept the opponent's own warships. At the same time, cooperate with the main fleet to encircle and destroy the weak ships in the main fleet! The odds of victory for both sides depend entirely on who can inflict heavy damage on the opponent's main fleet faster! Ruprecht said, reasoning about it. This was also the way of thinking of the Japanese back then.

"Very novel tactics." No way, even after 3 years, the US fleet is still swarming and dying in the Battle of San Diego, and it is not so meticulous at all! It's all about hardware! Simpson was still interested in this tactic.

"However, except for the Mainz and the two ironclad ships in the Beiyang, the remaining battleships have very low combat effectiveness, and they will be slaughtered in a very short event! The battle will not last long. Lieutenant General Simpson thought for a moment and said.

"No, the battle will last a long time! The other warships of the Beiyang team are certainly fragile, but the defense of the two ironclad ships is quite good, and it is difficult to destroy them with artillery, while the Beiyang fast fleet led by Mainz will hold out for a long time, with Mainz as a cannonball magnet, the two relatively fast Zhiyuan cruisers have a chance to save themselves, and they will return to the battlefield after extinguishing the flames. Ruprecht retorted

"Well, then if the two fleets quickly clear out the weak warships that can be killed, do you think the Japanese fleet will attack the Beiyang Fleet itself or the fast fleet?" Simpson asked after a moment's hesitation.

"If it were me, I would let the fast fleet attack my own team and cover the torpedo boats to attack. But only if the Japanese team can bear some losses in the next stage! But from what I understand about the Japanese, they don't necessarily do that! This passage of Ruprecht is pure speculation, without any historical basis.

However, judging from the performance of the Japanese fleet in history, if it is fought again this time, the Japanese fleet will definitely be very miserable! The difference in speed between the new ship led by the Sankei ship and the Fuso and Hiei streams is too large, and there is still a situation of being divided in history, so the Beiyang with fast cruisers in this plane will naturally do better! With the Beiyang Fleet equipped with a large number of rapid-fire guns, it is really hard to say whether the Japanese team will be led into a chaotic battle!

If the chaotic war is really introduced, if Ruprecht is the Japanese commander, he will definitely solve the town first, after all, if you want to entangle with the opponent's fast cruiser fleet, it will be a long time to fight and run, it is true, 2 Zhiyuan is a weak chicken, but the second-class cruisers in the Japanese fleet are not weak chickens in the face of Mainz? Moreover, after the introduction of chaotic warfare, the advantage of Japanese cruisers will be greatly reduced after losing their superiority in formation and maneuvering. At this time, the best thing to do is naturally to get the town done first, and then the Japanese fast fleet will contain the Beiyang fast fleet, and the Japanese fleet will complete the reorganization!

The premise of all this is that when the Japanese fast fleet attacks Dingzhen, this team must suffer huge losses! Although any warship of the Japanese fleet was vulnerable to the rapid-fire guns of three fast battleships. However, in exchange for the destruction of Dingzhen, a certain number of cruisers, this is a very cost-effective deal for Japan, and Dingzhen is gone, and Beiyang only relies on Mainz.

According to the characteristics of the Japanese fleet to find a soft pinch, when only Dingzhen remains, it is very likely that they will temporarily abandon the siege of Dingzhen and attack the Zhiyuan-class cruisers in the Beiyang Fast Fleet. Then now the question arises, if the fast fleets of the two sides pinch each other, the Japanese really don't have much advantage! In terms of tonnage, it is 12,000 tons to 18,000 tons. The Japanese 2 second-class cruisers had an overwhelming advantage over the Zhiyuan-class cruisers.

But Mainz can fight and carry, and Ruprecht estimates that even if Mainz can't fight one against two, and overwhelm a first-class cruiser and a second-class cruiser at the same time, at least there is no problem with a draw. After a long time, it must be the dome armor ship that suffers! The Japanese ship's firepower projection is NB, but it's useless to hit the armor belt! So this battle will last for quite a long time before it is possible to decide the winner.

And the team is fighting? Dingzhen, which was equipped with rapid-fire guns before the war, can also be regarded as able to fight and carry! The remaining battleships of the Japanese team, which were killed in the opening scene, are likely to be able to suppress it, but they can't be killed. The final result is naturally to evacuate with the fall of night!

In other words, although the Japanese may make mistakes in terms of tactics, they will still win by relying on a huge numerical advantage? And in the second phase, the rate of loss of both sides' fleets will decrease until the end of the final battle? Is that so? Simpson asked.

"It can be understood in this way that in the end, the fundamental reason why the Japanese can win is that their family has a big business, and it is estimated that there will be no more than 5 ships left after this battle in Beiyang!" Ruprecht said.

"It seems to make a lot of sense." Simpson said as he touched his chin.

"The facts will prove that I say everything!" Ruprecht snorted casually, and to his surprise, the day after he and Simpson said this! The Battle of the Yellow Sea, which shocked China and the rest of the world, broke out!
