86_86661 "T-shaped ship formation, in naval warfare is a very classic formation, this formation makes full use of the characteristics of the current ship, especially in the face of powerful heavy armored ships, with a single vertical formation can achieve unexpected results. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, this king thinks that in the naval battle of the Sea of Japan, which is about to start a war, how can we achieve victory at the lowest cost. It is very important to study this T-shaped naval battle formation and find the most ideal way to crack it.

Commander Chen, Captain Xu, you are all highly talented students studying at the Royal Naval College in the United Kingdom, talk about your thoughts. ”

Chen Fangzheng put forward his own views on the naval battle formation of this T-shaped ship formation: "Lord Wang, generals, when talking about the method of cracking this T-shaped ship formation, we have to mention a classic naval battle -- the Battle of Trafalgar.

This naval battle was the most striking naval battle of the era of sail warships. While consolidating Britain's maritime supremacy, it once again challenged traditional line tactics.

After the Battle of Trafalgar, the navies of the world began to pay attention to and develop maritime maneuver tactics.

The Battle of Trafalgar was one of the most beautiful battles of annihilation in the history of sailing naval battles, and it was also the largest naval battle of the 19th century.

In this naval battle, Admiral Nelson dared to break through the old theory of the battle sequence and used flexible and mobile tactics to defeat the combined French and Spanish fleet.

Nelson's extraordinary courage and masterful conducting skills made him a famous general in the annals of history. The English nation is proud of him.

Even his enemy, Napoleon, admired him, and when he heard the news of Nelson's death, Napoleon immediately ordered that Nelson's portrait should be hung on every French warship, in honor of him, and at the same time to use him as an example for the French army to follow.

On October 9, 1805, the warships of the Franco-Spanish combined fleet began to sail out of Cádiz, but due to the direction of the wind, they all did not enter the sea until noon on October 20.

Prior to this, the British reconnaissance ships had spotted the Combined Fleet, which Nelson ordered to intercept, and on the night of October 20, the two fleets were approaching.

At dawn on 21 October, the two sides were close to 10 or 12 miles, and at 6:10 a.m. Nelson gave the order to "advance in two columns."

At 6:20, the order was given to "prepare for war". Knowing that the battle was inevitable, the commander of the Combined Fleet, Verneuve, in order to facilitate the fleet's withdrawal to the port of Cadiz when the operation was unfavorable, he ordered the fleet to make a 180-degree turn so that the port of Cadiz was in the downwind position of the fleet, a change that not only seriously affected morale, but also caused the formation of the Combined Fleet to fall into chaos.

When the combined fleet was in confusion due to the reversal of direction, Nelson seized the fighter plane and ordered an attack, and the British ships were divided into two columns, with the "Victory" on Nelson's ride and the "Kingpower" on Collingwood as the lead ships of the two columns.

Then the "further engagement" was raised, and the British fleet plunged straight into the Combined Fleet amid cheers. At 11:45 a.m., the Combined Fleet "Vgaux" opened fire on the "Throne", and the Battle of Trafalgar began.

Fifteen minutes after the battle began, the downwind column led by the "King" broke through the rearguard of the combined fleet, and the guns on both sides began to fire together.

Twenty-five minutes later, Nelson's upwind column also rushed into the Combined Fleet, and the upwind column began to attack the advance guard of the Combined Fleet, but soon the "Victory" led the upwind column to suddenly turn to the center of the Combined Fleet to attack, which is the famous "Nelson's Secret", and the advance guard of the Combined Fleet did not care at all about the signal to ask for its reinforcements, but only cared about moving forward.

At about 12:30 p.m., as the "Victory" passed through the "Bousantor", a volley from port side caused hundreds of French casualties. When the other two British ships came up to besiege the "Bouzantol", the "Victory" turned to the right and exchanged fire with the French ship "Awe" that rushed up.

The Awe, the smallest but most courageous warship in the Combined Fleet, engaged in an ancient and brutal broadside battle, in which Nelson, who was commanding the battle on deck, was wounded by a sniper on the Awe, and the Awe was later captured.

After more than two hours of bloody fighting, at 2:05 p.m., the flagship of the combined fleet, "Busantor", lowered the command, the commander of the fleet, Vernave, was captured, and the battle of the upwind column ended. Around 3 p.m., Collingwood's downwind column was also victorious.

At 3:30 p.m., after more than two hours of naval battle, the advance guard of the Combined Fleet, led by Rear Admiral Di Manoy, returned to the battlefield, but on the way back, two of its own warships collided and withdrew from the battle.

In the face of the British fleet, which was in full battle, the counteroffensive failed in just 20 minutes. The Victory fired a salvo at the fleeing Combined Fleet as a send-off, and Nelson died amid the sound of gunfire.

The battle was won, but the heroic General Nelson left this world, but he left one of the most classic battles in the history of naval warfare.

Before the start of the battle, Nelson's plan was to divide the entire fleet into two detachments, with one in reserve.

He personally led a detachment to assault the center of the enemy fleet, cutting off its front and back contacts, disrupting the enemy's formation, and making it impossible for its head and tail to correspond.

the other, led by Collingwood, attacked the enemy rearguard; After discovering the enemy's flagship, the reserve launched an attack, disrupting its command organs in one fell swoop, forcing the enemy ships into a state of confusion, and finally annihilating the divided enemy warships one by one.

At the same time, he also gave the captains a great deal of autonomy in the way they attacked, requiring them to give full play to the spirit of bravery, tenacity, initiative, and courage in close combat. He told his captains that as long as we catch them, we will succeed! They call this tactic the 'Nelson Secret'.

Although it was still the era of artillery sail battleships, Nelson's approach to the decisive battle provided an excellent idea for breaking through the T-shaped formation.

In this battle, Nelson's ships in front suffered heavy losses, but the opposing fleet was broken in two.

In this way, Nelson's fleet could simultaneously fire at enemy ships located on both sides with the guns of both sides, while the opponent could only return fire with the guns of one side, so that Nelson gained the advantage of weapon utilization and won.

Therefore, in my analysis of this classic naval battle, I am filled with infinite reverence for the great British admiral, who was a symbol of bravery and wisdom. ”。
