Today there are 1000 VIP chapters! Well, it's worth celebrating! At the same time, thank you for the reward of Tsing Yi Panda! Therefore, the author Jun decided to make four changes today! The old rules, change before 9 o'clock!

This TM is the Moscow turntable, who knows if there is a bullet in the chamber that turns when you pull the trigger? Even if you look at it a little more, the night battle of the army is a gamble for money, and the night battle of the navy is a gamble on life! As a branch of the navy that can lose a war in one night, the commander's requirement is to be cautious, prudent, and careful! Jericho, for example, is like that. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info and Count Spee's approach is a little too unexpected!

"As you said, if we decide to fight tomorrow, then why do we have to come out so early? That's right, Schultz, Luckner, you're right, I'm going to war tonight! Begin the first large-scale night battle since the outbreak of this war! Lieutenant General Spee looked at his somewhat stunned subordinates and said very proudly, this feeling is simply too cool.

"Listen to me, and then you can have your say." The Count made a quiet gesture. "Actually, I'm just doing this to expand some advantages, our fleet will cruise outside the Dardanelles from time to time, we can be sure that there will be French and British camouflaged raiding ships around here, and in the Mediterranean, which is like a bathtub, we can't hide our actions during the day, so we need cover for the night, and at this rate, the weather will get dark before we can meet the enemy. They don't know anything about what we're going to do next. ”

"They may have guessed that we were going back, or they might have guessed that we would choose a place to spend the night. But in reality, we went straight to their anchorage! The other party is stationary, while we are moving. At night, the lights around the anchorage of the opposing fleet will be bright, and the searchlights will constantly scan the sea surface for possible submarines, but what about us? Hidden in the darkness of the night, like an assassin in the night, under the protection of the shadows, all we have to do is point the rangefinder at the light in the darkness and cover all the targets with cannonballs! And then, boom! It's over! Lieutenant General Spee made an explosive gesture.

"But we can still run into an adversary's torpedo boat or destroyer at night, and we will be at risk." Major General Scholz said.

"It is impossible to fight a war without risk, in fact, in terms of the proportion of warships, the number of destroyers in the French fleet is relatively small, only 36, and they are scattered everywhere, and there are 12 destroyers around us, which can complete the alert task and deal with occasional surprise attacks, and our warships are all high-speed warships, and they can choose to evacuate when the situation is not good. After a walk in the dark, come back. The Earl said.

"Of course, more importantly, the French certainly wouldn't have thought that we would do it at night! And it's all the capital ships coming out together! During the day, the French can quickly get accurate information from us, and then send reinforcements or troops, but at night, they can't determine our size and our position, and before dawn, we can leave the battlefield safely, and then return to the Sea of Marmara before sunset the next day, and do a big deal in the event that the other side does not expect! ”

"Well, it looks like our odds are really good." Scholz was the first to take a stand. This was followed by the captain of the ship, Colonel Melkel. Soon, Count Spee's decision reached the other ships via a signal flag. "We're making history too." Of course, there is a wonderful feeling in the hearts of many people, a feeling of resistance, but at the same time a desire for the unknown! The idea of what it was like to engage the main fleet at night was relenting in people's minds, and then finally translated into "What do you want to do so much?" Don't you know if you have a fight?! "Thoughts!

Although the main forces of the navies of various countries are trying to avoid night battles. However, night battle training still needs to be carried out, after all, the Battle of Jutland was fought during the day in history, and it should be fought at night. With such a large formation on both sides, Count Spee's fleet can naturally fight too, and besides, who stipulates that the battle must be fought in the daytime? Therefore, the fleets of various countries have actually conducted relatively complete training for night battles.

Night fighting, to put it simply, is to turn on the searchlight and be aggressive, of course, this is when we meet in the open sea. According to the practice of the German Navy, the task of lighting is generally given to destroyers or other auxiliary warships, after all, at night, before you turn on the lights to find the opponent, people must find you first, and the capital ship to be exported, naturally can not be "cared for". So I had to ask my subordinates to turn on the lights.

IN ADDITION TO THE SEARCHLIGHT, THE GERMANS ALSO HAVE ANOTHER MEANS OF ILLUMINATION IS THE FLARE, WHICH CAN BE USED BY BOTH THE CAPITAL SHIP AND THE AUXILIARY WARSHIP, AND THE FLARE FIRED BY THE 88MM ANTI-LIGHTNING GUN WILL OPEN A PARACHUTE IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE SHELL TO SLOW DOWN THE FALL, AND AT THE SAME TIME, THE FUEL OF THE FLARE WILL PRODUCE A BRIGHTNESS RANGING FROM TENS OF THOUSANDS TO HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CANDLES. In the minutes that fall it is possible to illuminate the fleet. The advantage of this is to increase the concealment of the fleet, and at the same time, after all, the artillery hits farther and the range of illumination is larger.

Originally, there was also the idea of using seaplanes to throw flares, but looking at the endurance of the current seaplanes and considering the issue of recycling, this is better to forget it. However, even so, with the use of flares and more mature night combat tactics, Count Spee still has more trust in his night combat ability.

"If our intelligence is correct, there are still 2 Guba-class battleships and 6 Danton-class battleships in the Gulf of Onya, and there may be a detachment of armored cruisers and 2 destroyers around. In terms of firepower, our firepower is weaker than that of our opponents, and it is difficult for us to distinguish the type of ship of the opponent in night conditions, and our lighting capabilities are limited, so I want to keep enough of them behind. "As night fell, at the last captain-level meeting, Count Spee came up with his own plan.

If you fight the amount of firepower projection, even the French fleet in the Gulf of Nya is still a grade higher than the Spey fleet, not counting the armored cruisers, it is quite terrifying if people simply count the firepower on the side of the battleship, 2 Guba-class is 20 12-inch guns, 6 Dandong-class is 42 12-inch guns, adding up to a full 62 12-inch ......guns.
