"Commander Chen and Captain Xu put forward their own views on naval tactics through these two naval battles, but any tactic has its own advantages and disadvantages, as General Nelson said, some things must be relied on chance, especially in naval battles, nothing is certain to be sure. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Just like in the naval battle between Britain and France, the reason why the French fleet was able to escape was because Keppel insisted on the tactics of a column all the way, and the formation time was too long, thus delaying the fighters.

For the most part, the French fleet generally adopted new hit-and-run tactics, except in the case of absolute superiority in forces.

The tactical ideas used by Lord Ding in the Sino-Japanese War were correct, but the war was lost on political grounds.

This king believes that there is no fixed way to fight any war, as Sun Tzu said, water is impermanent, and soldiers are impermanent.

The same is true of naval battles. However, a certain tactical thinking must be had. Only with a tangible mind, imposing on the situation, in the process of change, looking for the best moment, completely crushing the opponent.

Nelson's tactics lay not in the "pattern" aspect of his attacks, but in the fact that he gave her soldiers a unified tactical idea.

The idea is that when a general carries out an attack, he can have a great deal of freedom of action. There are two attack modes that can be used interchangeably in different environments.

A subordinate general can exert a high degree of initiative in war. Nelson wanted his captains to have a "Nelsonian" mind. In addition to being brave and aggressive, his own initiative, combined with the initiative of his subordinates, was the main reason why Nelson became Britain's greatest admiral.

The main thing this king wants to emphasize here is not the chaotic command system, but the hope that under a unified tactical idea, the generals of each fleet can take the initiative to apply this tactical thinking.

Because, with the current command information system alone, if we always wait for the command of the flagship in battle, then we will lose a lot of achievements in the process. You know, in war, opportunities are fleeting.

Therefore, what this king wants to make clear is that we must tacitly understand each other in the war on the premise of the unified tactical thinking of the fleet, and unify according to the same tactical thinking, and each formation will determine the progress of the war according to the actual situation of its position.

For example, our fleet in Hainan has 40 warships, and it seems impossible not to spend too much time on putting all 40 ships in battle sequence.

So in order to save time, the whole fleet was divided into two teams, each with sixteen ships, and a vanguard detachment or "reserve", for a total of eight ships.

In addition, also to save time, the sailing sequence is also the battle sequence, and in order to be able to make the most of the opportunity, the two detachments can also act completely independently. One was commanded by Captain Xu, and the other was commanded by Commander Chen, who had complete command over his front. In this way, the mobility of our Hainan fleet has been greatly enhanced.

Therefore, if we can unify a tactical thinking in a naval battle, under this premise, we can flexibly and quickly adjust any formation of the enemy fleet, see the moves, and look for opportunities to annihilate the enemy in a flexible way, and the chances of victory will be much greater.

Now, I will summarize our unified tactical thinking in future naval battles.

First, in the early stage of the war, in the various formations of our fleet, the ships with the speed of the fleet can be used to break up the enemy formation.

Second, when our fleet successfully divided the enemy formation and turned into a fierce naval battle, the battleships with slow speed but strong guns were the most powerful weapons. However, to make the most of the battleship's firepower is not just a matter of rushing the ship into the enemy line. Fire from both sides and fire all at once! That's it.

Rather, it is necessary to crush the morale of the enemy fleet in the shortest possible time and achieve a mass escape. General Nelson didn't do this perfectly.

Therefore, we need to learn how to concentrate the fleet's firepower most effectively in naval warfare to cause the best results.

But there is one thing, a charge like Nelson's assault is only okay if our artillery fire and armor are superior to that of our opponents.

There is also a situation where this tactic will bring great risk and uncertainty when the enemy fleet is superior to ours, and the effective use of firepower on both sides is not as long as most people think, the most important difference is that the Nelson assault cannot concentrate the fleet's firepower on a few enemy ships, but simply desperately scatters shells.

The firepower of all the battleships was scattered on dozens of enemy ships, and each enemy ship was only attacked by extremely scattered firepower, and the damage was very small.

However, if these fires are concentrated on a few or even one enemy ship, the result can be imagined, and even a powerful ship will be destroyed in an instant.

Nelson's assault tactics required the appropriate advantage, namely the speed of the ships and the great firepower. At the same time, you have to take more risks to win in the end. I also have to bear some casualties. However, it is also necessary in many cases.

Third, how to win quickly in a naval battle, the best tactic is to severely damage the enemy's flagship, forcing the flagship to be heavily damaged and sunk, and the morale of the enemy ship will quickly collapse.

When we are looking for the flagship of the enemy fleet, we must take into account the overall movement of the enemy ships, at this time, we can choose a large battleship with fast speed and heavy artillery fire, cut across the enemy flagship and the second fleet, carry out the guns on both sides, block the follow-up column of the enemy fleet, and launch a third siege and artillery bombardment on the stern of the enemy's flagship, which is most likely to collapse in morale.

In short, in naval warfare, we should be clear that one tactical idea is to approach the enemy ship, focus on a fierce attack on its flagship, and defeat the enemy's will to continue fighting.

In carrying out this tactical idea, our fleet can carefully maneuver in various columns, and all actions are strictly carried out within the framework of this tactical idea.

In future naval warfare, the situation on the battlefield will be ever-changing, and this will set a requirement for our military commanders, requiring you to conscientiously study this new type of combat method under the premise of the tactical idea of "attacking with a key point and breaking the will of the other side."

Ladies and gentlemen, the development of the navy occupies an extremely important position in our future strategy, and I hope that you will make great efforts to build our Hainan fleet into the most powerful maritime fleet in the world.

This time, on the Sea of Japan, this king will lead 200,000 troops to join you in the battle, and our fleet will face off against our old enemy, the Japanese Combined Fleet, in this naval battle.

This battle was not a simple local war, but a great war that completely defeated this arrogant small country in the east.

The day after tomorrow, our fleet, together with the Russian Second and Third Pacific Fleets, will set off and head straight for the Sea of Japan. Warlord world
