Chapter 1237: Everything is ready

The tactics of breaking the force are simple to say, but they are not without difficulty in implementing, and the limited firing speed of the breech gun makes it difficult to achieve a dense fire output in a short period of time. The only way to compensate for this deficiency was to increase the number of artillery on the position, thereby increasing the intensity of the fire output. The number of artillery pieces in the Sing Tao base is indeed quite large, but the scale of artillery is limited, only one artillery company is configured, and if you exclude the operators of the port shore defense guns, the remaining artillery is probably only enough to operate six or eight guns.

Theoretically, this order of magnitude of artillery is enough to deal with a thousand-man battle, but Roger has been in the group for a long time, and he can't help but suffer from the same phobia of insufficient firepower as other military high-ranking people.

Roger speculated that there might be more than just musketeers aided by the British in the opposing formation, and there should also be artillery configurations, but this artillery did not know where to hide, but there was no trace of it at the moment. If you can get information about the opponent's artillery units, it will be easier to deal with them in an engagement.

But he thought about it again, it was too difficult for the opponent to use artillery as the main means of attack, and the heavy artillery had to be boarded on this side and disembarked on the south side of the strait, and there was no road for passage after arriving on the shore, and it had to be transported to the vicinity of the starport dozens of miles away for deployment, which was a great test of the ability to carry heavy loads.

Similar situations have been encountered by the Haihan Army in previous operations. In 1633, when the Haihan army attacked the Spanish-controlled city of Tamsui in northern Taiwan, it was not well prepared before the war, and after the troops landed at the Tamsui River, the heavy artillery could not be quickly deployed to the battlefield because of the mud on the riverbank, which almost delayed the fighters. How to quickly deploy artillery to land positions in amphibious operations has always been a combat subject that needs to be improved. Problems that the Haihan Army can't solve, Roger thinks the opponent can't be clever.

If the other side insists on using artillery, then the only choice is to choose lighter small-caliber guns to reduce the pressure of transportation, or they have to abandon the landing from the north shore of Star Island and use ships to transport the artillery to the south near Star Harbor before landing. The former option will affect the intensity of firepower output on the battlefield, and the latter seems to be easy, but the Johor Army does not have enough sea capacity to directly deliver all the land forces to the south of Sing Dao, and if it is just to send the artillery to the position close to the Sing Tao base, wait for the arrival of the large army and then cooperate in the operation, with the command and coordination ability of the Johor Army, plus the fact that Haihan has already taken precautions, Roger thinks that this approach is actually no different from taking the initiative to die.

No matter which option is chosen, it will definitely greatly reduce the combat capability of the Johor army, which is good news for Haihan. Therefore, although he did not see the opponent's artillery, Roger did not have too many worries because of this, and was able to roughly confirm the opponent's strength and combat methods, and this trip was not in vain.

Roger had originally considered tying up a few alive from the Johor Army's assembly site, preferably to catch the British, who had come to help in the war.
