Chapter 477: It's Too Insidious

"After research, it was decided that one Fu ship would take five Cangshan ships to form a fleet, and if it encountered sporadic enemy ships, the fleet would come forward to intercept them and send people to escort them to Weihaiwei. If you encounter a large number of enemy ships, immediately send ships to contact the nearby fleet, and then multiple fleets will go up together to surround them. This is what adults call wolf pack tactics. ”

"Within the same fleet, all the warships, don't huddle together. It is necessary to expand the scope of monitoring as much as possible. Hearing the sound of gunfire, the surrounding warships should go to support. According to the information we have received, after the Tartars took control of the Dengzhou Naval Division, they have all been dismantled and no longer used centrally. Therefore, we could not launch a large-scale attack on the Dengzhou Naval Division, and we could only eliminate them sporadically. ”

"The first stage of the battle is to intercept the Tartar transport ships as much as possible, and let as few supplies and personnel as possible enter Dengju City. The duration of the mission, about fifteen days for each fleet. The time for the round trip is about three days, and the time for the combat cruise is about twelve days. This time may be adjusted at any time according to the situation on the battlefield. Therefore, everyone needs to carry enough ammunition and supplies. ”

"Odd-numbered ships, start duty tonight. Even the number of ships to help build the Weihaiwei Naval Base. At the same time, all warships with even numbers should also be ready to attack and reinforce at any time. There is information that the Tartars may force North Korean sailors to make a sortie, increasing resistance to us. ”

"Either the Tartar ships, or any other people's ships, if they do not obey our orders, they will all be sunk! Or maybe it's a captive! The captured enemy ships and supplies were all escorted back to Weihaiwei. The Brotherhood of the Marines will cooperate with you in this matter. ”

After Zhou Zhengyu finished speaking, he waited for a while and let the people below digest it.

The initiation of this battle was actually quite hasty. After all, the Navy is not like the Army, and it is impossible to pull up and run. The logistical support, coordination of command, and information exchange required for naval operations cannot be as fast as that of the army. At the same time, relative to the army, the Tiger Army Navy is still a long time away from real maturity.

For naval operations, a base support is also needed. Weihaiwei is still an imperfect naval base, and it is difficult to say whether it will be able to support this battle. The naval base in Mawan is still too far away. Before the saber tooth ship came out, the main warship of the navy was still the Cangshan ship, and it could not leave the base too far to fight. The original base of the Tartar Naval Division is under the control of the Tartars, and it is unrealistic for the Navy to want to take it down at once. Moreover, completely trapping the Tartar to death at once is not in line with Zhang Zhun's intentions.

After Zhou Zhengyu finished speaking, he said loudly: "Do you have any questions?" ”

Huang Shijun stood up and said with some confusion: "Two adults, why don't we attack Jin Shanwei directly?" It is said that most of the enemy ships docked there to load personnel and supplies. If we seal off the port of the Tartars, won't Dengzhou City be completely trapped? Also, judging from the nautical chart, the location of Huangcheng Island is very important, so why don't we capture Huangcheng Island immediately? ”

Zhou Zhengyu nodded and said with a smile: "You asked this question well!" ”

He looked around and said meaningfully: "Can anyone answer, why don't we directly attack Jinshanwei and Dengzhou City?" Isn't that more hassle-free? Why intercept on the surface of the sea? ”

Mao Huihui thought for a moment, stood up, and said loudly: "I think this is fishing!" If we directly attack Jinshanwei or Dengzhou City, the Tartars will immediately realize that they will not be able to stay in Dengzhou City, and they will inevitably evacuate quickly. If this is the case, we will encounter more Tartars in Liaodong in the future. However, if we just cut off the transport line of the Tartars, the Tartars will not feel pain for the time being. ”

After a slight pause, Mao Huihui said a little gloomy: "Since we can cut off the transportation line of the Tartar, it is natural that we can also let go." According to the needs of the battle ahead, we can appropriately induce more Tartars to arrive at Dengzhou City. We did not occupy Huangcheng Island in order to create an illusion for the Tartars, and our attack was only of a sneak attack nature, and it was impossible to completely cut off their transportation lines. They can also hold on to Dengju City. The more Tartars die in Dengzhou City, the fewer Tartars we will encounter in Liaodong in the future. ”

Yang Guohua nodded with a smile.

Zhou Zhengyu said loudly: "That's right! That's it! Our goal is not to drive all the Tartars back to the nest with a stick, because then it will be difficult for us to fight in the future. We are going to put the Tartars in Dengzhou City little by little, and slowly torture them and destroy them. We want to turn Dengzhou City into a bottomless pit, constantly devouring the living force of the Tartars. ”

"Therefore, our task is not to completely block the southward movement of the Tartars, but to control the number of Tartars going south. You can't come too many at once, and you can't come at all. There were so many at once that we couldn't eat. None of them came, and there was nothing to eat. When, how much, and whomever the Tartars come, all of them are in our hands. We let him come, and he will come. If we don't let him come, he can't come. ”

Huang Shijun reacted, gave a thumbs up in admiration, didn't say anything, and sat down.

He suddenly felt that the Tartars' rush to seize Dengzhou City this time seemed to be a trick, but in fact, they jumped into a bottomless pit. After all, Dengzhou City is not Liaodong, and if the Tartars want to open up the situation here, they must invest quite a lot of troops. However, what supports Dengzhou City is a dangerous sea transportation line. The Tartars' control over this sea transportation line is obviously not very strong.

You can't let the Tartars come too much at once, and you can't let none of the Tartars come. How many comes, who comes, and when they come, are completely in the hands of the Tiger Ben Army and Navy, which is really too insidious! After all, Dengzhou City is a piece of fat, and the Tartar wants to give up all at once, but I'm afraid it's not easy. When it comes to the fat in your mouth, are you willing to spit it out easily?

However, the Tiger Ben army did not cut off the hope of the Tartars, and the Tartars had to do everything possible to maintain it. Such maintenance is premised on paying a significant price. For the Tartars, neither their own population nor their own supplies will be very large. Once the city of Dengzhou is exhausted, the overall strength of the Tartars will be greatly weakened.

I don't know if this kind of battle mode was come up with by Lord Dudu? It's just too insidious. If you change to someone else, you will only think that with a click, the sea route of the Tartar will be completely cut off, and the Tartar of Dengzhou City will be completely sealed. In this way, all the Tartars in Dengzhou City will die. The current Dengzhou City should have thousands of tartars. If these thousands of Tartars were wiped out, it would indeed be an unprecedented victory, and it would definitely be a sensation all over the world.

But the Governor didn't, but he still wanted the Tartars to come. Lord Du is obviously not satisfied with the thousands of Tartars in Dengzhou City, and wants to let the Tartars die a little more. The more the Tartars come, the more they die. If the Tartars didn't realize this and continued to send more troops to fight for Dengzhou City, I was afraid that no number of Tartars would be enough to fill it. There should be more than 10,000 people inlaid with white flags and white flags combined. If more than 10,000 people were all filled in Dengzhou City, the Tartars would really want to cry without tears.

It's too insidious.

It's just too insidious.

Zhou Zhengyu glanced at everyone and asked loudly, "Do you have any other questions?" ”

All the officers, you look at me, I look at you, they all shook their heads and said in unison: "No! ”

Zhou Zhengyu nodded and said loudly: "Okay!" All odd-numbered boats, buy time to get ready to go, and leave right tomorrow morning! ”

After the meeting, everyone went their separate ways to make preparations.

The Cangshan ship has sailed so far that some equipment and facilities must be maintained in order to maintain the best combat condition. At the same time, food and fresh water need to be replenished. Huang Shijun handed over the work of material replenishment to Wang Chenglin, handed over the maintenance work above the deck to Ling Sishao, and himself was responsible for the maintenance of the parts below the deck.

Weihaiwei has just been occupied by the Tiger Army, and all the equipment and facilities have not yet been perfected. Barracks, docks, warehouses, not even decent trestles. However, Yang Guohua and others still tried their best to meet everyone's material needs. Fresh water is available locally, so naturally there is no problem. Grain per ship is a month's supply. Salted fish, pickles, rice, flour, sweet potatoes, corn...... What do you want? The biggest problem with grain is that dry food is not easy to preserve, and the weather is too hot and easy to spoil.

According to the estimates of the top brass of the Navy, they may capture part of the grain during the battle. The Tartars of Dengzhou City were to transport grain from the rear. Therefore, there is no problem with the food aspect. If that doesn't work, you can even sail to the north of Laizhou and ask for support there.

The biggest problem is the repair and maintenance of the ship. Once a ship is injured in a naval battle and wants to repair it, the Weihaiwei Naval Base is temporarily incapacitated, and it must be solved by returning to the Mawan Base. Of course, this is the recent situation. After a while, the general damage should be repaired at the Weihaiwei Naval Base. Since the navy wants to vigorously build the Weihaiwei Naval Base, it will naturally invest a lot of manpower and material resources here to build it as soon as possible.

One night, Huang Shijun, Wang Chenglin, Ling Sishao and other three people were busy back and forth, and they didn't sleep all night. In fact, they weren't the only ones who didn't sleep. All the captains of the single number, including Mao Huihui and Zhang Xuehai, are busy. The whole of Weihaiwei is busy. Countless torches burned until dawn.
