In the Pacific Ocean near Guam, a large fleet is quietly parked on the magnificent sea. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Sun Hao was = standing on the bridge of the flagship ship of the First Fleet Warrior at this time, and saw him standing quietly on the bridge, smoking a cigarette and staring ahead with his eyes. At this moment, Sun Hao did not focus on the beautiful scenery of the sea, but concentrated on preparing to face the strong enemy of the United States.

This naval battle is related to the success or failure of the attack on the Philippines and determines whether the Huaxia State can occupy the Pacific Ocean, and this battle plays a decisive role in the rise of the Huaxia State. Sun Hao understands this very well.

On the surface, the First Fleet has an absolute advantage in firepower, but it is facing two fleets of the United States, and it has the help of Spain, a declining empire. The Pacific Fleet, the Spanish Fleet, and the Great White Fleet have a combined fleet of more than 160 warships. Therefore, in terms of the number of warships, the number of warships in the United States has left the First Fleet far behind.

In addition, the soldiers of the First Fleet had never experienced actual combat, and Sun Hao was faintly worried about facing such a powerful and numerous fleet in the first actual battle.

However, once this war is won, the gains will be incomparably huge, not only annihilating more than half of the naval strength of the United States at sea, but also being able to get the Philippines and the Pacific Ocean, and the benefits are naturally self-evident.

"Commander-in-Chief, are you a little worried?" Shen Jun walked up to Sun Hao and asked.

"Yes! The First Fleet looks very powerful, but the soldiers have been training for too short, and now they are facing the strength of three fleets, why isn't Commander Ben worried? ”

"Actually, there is no need to worry too much, I feel that as long as Commander Wang follows Commander Lu's set of tactics, our First Fleet still has a great hope of destroying the other party. In addition, there are 20 submarines on the bottom of the sea, and if it is really not possible, they will send submarines to attack the other side. Shen Jun stroked the beard on his chin and said lightly.

Of course, Sun Hao also knew that there were 20 submarines ambushed on the bottom of the sea, but the First Fleet had not experienced actual combat and blood baptism, and it would never be able to grow. In the future, the main forces in naval warfare will still be surface ships and aircraft carriers, and submarines can only engage in some ambush and sneak attack tactics, and submarines must never be regarded as the main combat force of the navy. Sun Hao knows this very well.

"Commander Wang, are you sure about this naval battle?" Sun Hao looked at Wang Hongliang beside him and asked.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, I hope that the humble post will not be until the last moment, and it is better for the submarine force not to make a move, I dare not guarantee that I am 100% sure, but I am still 80% sure." Wang Hongliang saluted and said loudly.

"Very good, as long as you win this naval battle, Commander Wang will take the lead, and Commander Ben will reward you with two beautiful beauties at that time."

"Commander-in-chief, there are already four beautiful wives in the humble position, so...."

Hahahaha! Whether it was Shen Jun or Sun Hao, both of them let out a hearty laugh.

There are a lot of women and children in Huaxia, especially the number of young women, and many young and middle-aged men are assigned three to five wives. Now many generals are a little worried that Sun Hao will arrange a wife for him, but he does not dare to publicly refuse. Therefore, when Wang Hongliang heard that Sun Hao was going to reward two beauties, he was really a little afraid.

For this naval battle, Wang Hongliang already knew in his heart that the warships of Huaxia were stronger than those of the United States in terms of speed and range, so Wang Hongliang did not plan to fight to the death with the fleet of the United States. Rather, it is a high-speed movement warfare, guerrilla warfare. Give full play to the superiority of the First Fleet.

However, Wang Hongliang has always been worried about a problem, that is, the number of fleets between the United States and Spain is too large, in case they see that there is no hope of victory and flee from all directions, this is a big problem. With the number of the First Fleet, there is simply no ability to intercept them.

"Commander-in-chief, Staff Officer Shen, has always been worried about the other party's escape, and the gunboats of our First Fleet have basically gone to escort the escort, and five destroyers have been mobilized to escort the escort together. Now the number of our warships is only 58, but we are facing more than 160 warships of all sizes. ”

"Commander Wang, don't worry, 20 submarines have formed a huge encirclement. The first is to deal with the problem of the First Fleet's inexperience and heavy losses, and the second is to prevent them from escaping, as long as the warning is ineffective, the submarine will immediately launch torpedoes to sink it. Shen Jun said with a smile on his face, rubbing his chin.

"Commander Wang is the protagonist today, this commander and the chief of staff are just bystanders, in today's naval battle, Commander Wang can show his skills how he wants, and this commander will not interfere with you." Sun Hao looked at Wang Hongliang and said encouragingly. Sun Hao didn't understand naval warfare, so he had to delegate power, and there was a saying in later generations that professional things should be done by professional people, and Sun Hao always kept it in mind.

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief Sun, I will not disappoint you."

"Commander Wang, tell me your specific tactical arrangements, so as not to worry Commander-in-Chief Sun." Shen Jun said with a smile on the side.

"Yes!" Wang Hongliang nodded, then took out a folded drawing from his arms and laid it on the bridge.

According to the reconnaissance report of the airship reconnaissance team, the United States dispatched a total of 164 warships to escort this escort, including 12 main warships, 24 first-class cruisers, 29 second-class cruisers, 20 battle cruisers, 38 destroyers, 14 supply ships, 27 gunboats, and 10 torpedo boats, including 20 old Spanish cruisers and destroyers. The most powerful escort fleet this time is the Great White Fleet of the United States, followed by the Pacific Fleet of the United States, and the Spanish fleet is not to be feared at all.

The Great White Fleet is mainly the front and middle of the escort fleet, while the Pacific Fleet is responsible for the rear of the fleet, and the Spanish fleet is completely playing the role of soy sauce. The idea of the humble position was to take advantage of the high speed and long range of our warships to attack the enemy separately.

The First Fleet was divided into three squadrons, each squadron was equipped with one Zhenghe-class battleship, three battle cruisers, six cruisers, and eight destroyers.

Adopt battlefield lure tactics to lure the warships of the United States away, so as not to hurt the Chinese compatriots and those antiques, as long as they are diverted, they will be annihilated separately. However, the submarine force must cooperate to prevent those ships from escaping with the merchant ships, and the three fleets must be annihilated with confidence. ”

After Sun Hao heard this, he nodded again and again. "Very good, not only to protect the safety of Chinese compatriots, but also to protect the cultural essence left by those ancestors, once our submarine leaks, then these Mi and Spaniards will all ---- to death!" When Sun Hao said the word death, it was as if the air around him had solidified, and the temperature had dropped.

"Commander-in-Chief Sun, in fact, there is no need to kill them, just send these people to the mining area to mine and strictly guard them." Shen Jun suggested that these were all laborers, and it would be a pity to kill them like this.
