Chapter 105: Preparing for a Night Attack

After receiving the telegrams from the warships, Lu Ping, the commander of the Second Fleet, felt a little unhappy, and the results of the Second Fleet were far from his expectations, which made Lu Ping feel very helpless. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Second Fleet has only been training for two years, and many sailors are far from meeting the standards of a qualified navy. Even if they have powerful battleships and battle cruisers, and even if they have advanced sighting systems and long-range strike technology that far surpass those of the enemy, it is simply difficult to bring into play the combat effectiveness of warships with superior performance because the overall skill and quality of the navy cannot keep up.

The day is about to get dark, and the battle during the day will not be able to exert strong combat effectiveness, let alone at night, so Lu Ping plans to assemble the battleship as soon as possible.

"Commander-in-Chief Sun, it's getting dark, and it's very bad for our fleet." Lu Ping looked at Sun Hao and said.

Sun Hao nodded slightly, stroking his chin sparse beard with one hand. During the daytime chase battle, the team led by the Yangtze River completed the task of exterminating the Dutch small guerrillas, and the other teams did not complete the planned goal. It was about to get dark, and this was very unfavorable to the Second Fleet, which was not rich in combat experience, and it was necessary to assemble the fleet as soon as possible.

"Commander Lu gives the order!" Sun Hao replied helplessly.

As one command after another was transmitted, the warships of the Huaxia Kingdom, which were desperately chasing the small guerrillas in the Netherlands, stopped shelling one after another and turned their rudders and returned home.

Chief of General Staff Shen Jun kept brushing the goatee on his chin, only to see him frowning and looking down to think about something.

Later, Shen Jun suddenly said: "Commander-in-Chief Sun, Commander Lu, if the Dutch East India Fleet makes a surprise attack at night and makes a final desperate struggle, we must take precautions in advance!" ”

"Thank you Chief of Staff Shen for the reminder!" After Lu Ping heard this, she was suddenly shocked in her heart, as if she had been empowered, and immediately understood what Shen Jun meant.

If the Dutch East India Fleet took advantage of the darkness at night to concentrate all its ships close to the Second Fleet, and suddenly had a torpedo feast or a rain of shells, the Second Fleet would definitely be in disarray. It is also possible that many warships that can sink the Second Fleet must be prevented in advance.

"Commander Lu, don't our battleships have flares on them? Just spread the battleships and wait for the Dutch East India Fleet to throw itself into the net. Shen Jun stroked the goatee on his chin, looked at Lu Ping and said with a smile.

Lu Ping was overjoyed when he heard this, judging from the performance of the Dutch East India Fleet during the day today, the commander of the other side was definitely not willing to fail like this, otherwise he would not have adopted several tactics to deal with the Second Fleet during the day.

The Dutch East India Fleet really attacked at night, just in time to give them a big encirclement and suppression. Not to mention the opening of artillery, even the torpedoes carried by the battleships of the Second Fleet were enough to destroy the East India Fleet.

Thinking of this, Lu Ping's heart became excited, and he immediately conveyed one instruction after another.

Admiral Odysscot saw the Second Fleet's warships gradually withdrawing from the battlefield, which was very stable with his own predictions, and immediately drew up a plan for a night attack. In Admiral Odyssco's mind, once this plan is successfully implemented, the East India Fleet will turn defeat into victory, and even if it cannot completely eliminate the Second Fleet of Huaxia Kingdom, at least it can change the situation of being passively beaten.

When Admiral Odysscot was calculating the Second Fleet of the Huaxia Kingdom, he did not know that the Second Fleet was weaving a huge net and was waiting for the East India Fleet to drill it!

When the time reached 9:010 p.m., the misty crescent moon hung in the sky, and the slight sea breeze blew across the sea, splashing tiny waves.

In the northern sky, a large cloud of black smoke appeared. The black smoke almost obscured the sky, mixed with the misty sky, which added a bit of weirdness to the sea. Subsequently, a large number of warships appeared in the misty sky.

On the sea, the Dutch East India Fleet was heading south, and some warships that had not suffered heavy damage during the day joined the sneak attack.

All the warships of the East India Fleet were at full speed and rushed towards the Chinese navy. At this move, all the officers and men of the entire East India Fleet became fanatical, believing that under the leadership of the wise and powerful Commander-in-Chief Odyssco, they would definitely be able to accomplish the feat of this attack, and it was even possible to sink all the arrogant warships of the Chinese Navy.

Unbeknownst to me, the Second Fleet's anti-sea radar had already spotted the figure of the East India Fleet, and a huge net was slowly being retracted.

All the officers and men of the Second Fleet were excited, and they did not feel tired from the daytime battle, but were full of energy. Perhaps, this encirclement battle at night was enough to wipe out the entire East India fleet.

On the flagship of Zheng He, Sun Hao, Chief of Staff Shen Jun, and Fleet Commander Lu Ping were in the radar room, and several people were discussing how to deal with the menacing East India Fleet.

"Commander-in-Chief Sun, the lowly tactic is to first fire artillery to disrupt the enemy's position, and then fire torpedoes to sink all the Dutch warships." Lu Ping said with confidence that Lu Ping knew very well the torpedo performance of the Second Fleet, and it would definitely not be a big problem to sink the opponent's warships at a distance of about 20,000 meters.

The torpedo was not used during the day, because the sight was good during the day, and it was easy for the enemy to turn the rudder to avoid the torpedo after seeing it. But at night it is different, the torpedoes driving underwater are like invisible killers, and it is difficult for the enemy to detect them.

"Commander Lu, of course using torpedoes is a good option, but will it hit our own battleship by mistake?" Sun Hao asked worriedly. The torpedoes equipped with his own fleet have a range of more than 10 kilometers, and the torpedoes are far more powerful than the shells.

"Commander-in-chief, rest assured, our battleships are not encircled in a circle, but in a semicircle, and will definitely not shoot at our own ships. The decoy ships that had been assigned by the Inferior would make adjustments as soon as they discovered the East India Fleet so that they could avoid being torpedoed by our own. ”

Hearing that Lu Ping arranged it like this, Sun Hao was relieved. Then, several people walked out of the radar observation room.

It didn't take long for the location of the East India Fleet to flicker on the radar display, and as time went on, the two sides got closer and closer.

Admiral Odysscoke stood on the bridge in high spirits, and the victory or defeat of the East India Fleet was in this move, and the entire East India Fleet was determined to succeed if it did not succeed. Seeing the determination and will of these officers and soldiers, Admiral Odyssco's ambition could not help but swell.

"How long do you expect to meet Huaxia's fleet?" Admiral Odyssko asked, looking at Adjutant Merxie.

"Your Excellency the Admiral, it is expected that there will be about 30 minutes left."

"Very well, pass the order down and check all the torpedoes again."

"Yes!"

Soon, one after another orders were delivered, and the sailors in the torpedo firing compartments of each battleship began to get busy.
