Chapter 155: Piercing the Great Qing Dynasty 6
Like the Italian cruiser "Marcobro" with a displacement of 4,930 tons, there is no mention of it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The performance of this ship is relatively mediocre, the maximum speed is only 17 knots, how can it be in formation with the "Enkarada" with more than twenty knots?
In the end, Lao Li Tou decided to use the "Empress Augusta" and "Enkarada" as the first choice, and the "Brad" as a backup.
Since there are already "Eight Great Distances" in the array, the two new ships will also use their suffixes, tentatively named "Yongyuan" and "Wuyuan", and they will be "Ten Distances"!
The next thing is to change the guns for these "old ships", otherwise they will still be suppressed by the combined fleet in terms of rate of fire.
Mi Ji took out the drawings of the two ships of "Ding, Zhen", pointed to the position, and said: "Looking down, we can add an English-made Armstrong 120 mm 40 times caliber rapid-fire gun for the sailors, with a rate of fire of more than 5 rounds per minute."
If the 150mm guns at the bow of the ship are not dismantled, three rapid-fire guns will be added to each side, and if the front guns are replaced, seven rapid-fire guns will be added to each ship!
Six warships of Jing, Lai, Ji, Zhi, Jing and Ping each added six 120 mm rapid-fire guns, so that the entire fleet could have 48 medium-caliber rapid-fire guns, which could greatly increase the amount of firepower projected per unit of time! ”
The rate of fire of the 305-mm guns of the Dingzhen and Zhen ships was one round every three minutes, and the 210-mm guns of Zhiyuan were faster than them (one round every two minutes).
The large-scale purchase of Armstrong's 120 mm rapid-fire guns was to make up for the vacuum period of the firepower output of the main guns of each ship.
If you do it a little more and put the French "Miss 75" on it, then the Japanese battleships will turn into honeycomb coal within three kilometers of this side!
The French Army's 1897 75mm field gun has a perfect reset mechanism, with a rate of fire of more than 15 rounds per minute, which is a frenzied rate of fire in the artillery of the same period!
"At the same time, the supporting British-made shells are imported, and all ships are loaded with British-made and domestically produced shells of the same caliber in peacetime, but only domestically produced shells are used for training.
If you encounter danger at sea, you can immediately replace it with more powerful British-made artillery shells to defend against the enemy, which can take into account military deterrence and cost considerations! ”
At present, the time of the great enemy is limited, and it is enough to change the power of the two ships of "Ding, Zhen", and they can only make a fuss about rapid-fire guns and shells.
Mi Ji added a few more words: "Small-caliber weapons can choose 47 mm French 'Haqikaisi' machine guns to prevent a large number of Japanese torpedo boats from sneak attacking.
In addition, each ship needs to be equipped with more than 10 German-made 'Maxim' machine guns, which have an extremely high rate of fire, which can destroy incoming torpedoes at close range and ensure the safety of our large ships! ”
Lao Li Tou is thinking about silver, and Liu Zongbing is taking into account firepower, and this plan can allow the two to achieve a small intersection!
Although the "Makqin" is expensive, it is much cheaper than a cruiser, and it can be called a cheap weapon in naval equipment.
If the 12.7 mm "Gatling" machine gun had been put on the battleship, it would have been almost impossible for the Japanese torpedoes to hit the Beiyang ship!
“…… In the end, he seconded the proposal of Liche to purchase rapid-fire guns, machine guns and shells in bulk, and also negotiated with foreign businessmen! Liu Buyun is now beginning to feel that this kid is by no means idle
Even if the other party is not a naval major, he can already be called half an expert in deploying firepower.
"If I have such a powerful second ship in the Beiyang, I will be able to fight without fear of the Japanese fleet!" The old Li Tou with a bulging waist bag was in a good mood
Liu Buyun and Deng Du also looked at the parameters of "Your Uncle at Sea" and "Cousin Yoshino" in high spirits, and discussed a few words in a whisper from time to time.
"Lord Zhongtang, from the perspective of the younger generation, after the addition of two ships in Beiyang, I am only on the same running line as the Japanese fleet, and I do not occupy an absolute dominant position, and if I am not careful, I will end up losing everything!" If you go to war with this kind of thinking, sooner or later you will be beaten up and defeated.
Lao Li Tou was refuted by the young man who was dozens of years old, and he was inevitably a little annoyed: "Now that I have changed ships and guns in Beiyang, it has been renovated, and it can be said that it is not what it used to be, how can we let Japanese ships continue to be rampant at sea?" In the next life, he was defeated without a fight, and he couldn't help but be a little whimpering......"
The chicken would not have to deal with the pasteur at all, and still said calmly: "Dare to ask Lord Zhongtang, assuming that there is something wrong with Chao and Japan takes the opportunity to invade, what is the scale of the troops that my Beiyang Land Division can invest?" How many troops can I put into the whole country? ”
“…… Why is the afterlife so pessimistic? Could it be that Japan is dabbling in the trend of fresh food? Lao Li Tou did not answer positively, he wanted to find out the intentions of the young man of the second goods.
Miji can only give a brief overview of the situation in Asahi: "Lord Zhongtang doesn't know, now Chaoxian is in danger everywhere, according to the younger generation, in the spring and summer, there may be a large-scale uprising against King Lee, and its momentum is no less than that of the long hair of the year!"
Japan has now reorganized its 200,000-strong Western-style army, and its navy has even added new ships one after another, in order to wait for the opportunity to rise strongly. Now the time is ripe, as long as the army is transported through the Tsushima Strait, you can go all the way north and capture the whole Chaoxian!
I'm afraid that the mobile force that can go to the tide to fight in Beiyang is less than 30,000, right? The number of troops that I can gather in the Qing Dynasty will not exceed 100,000! How to fight against the 200,000 Japanese tiger and wolf army?
Don't talk about Chaoxian, I'm afraid that when the Japanese army occupies this country, it will have to make a move against Liaodong, and the Lushun base of our Beiyang Naval Division will not be spared!
If you don't believe what you say, you can wait and see what happens, but if you prepare then, you will be able to make amends! ”
Of course, everyone present thought that what this little chief soldier said was unbelievable, which could be said to be unheard of, and it was not too much to think that it was false.
"The future life, the stakes are very high, it is related to the fortune of my Qing Dynasty, it is not a child's play, do you have real evidence to rely on?" Lao Li Tou just believed in three of them, which is still more.
The chicken shrugged like a "turtle": "Not really! The middle hall can also be regarded as hearsay by the younger generation, chasing after the wind and shadows. But there is a good comparison among the younger generations, for example, our neighbors, when they have nothing to do, they buy swords, gather their brothers, and then a group of people sharpen their swords at home every day, what do they want to do? Why not shave your head? If that's the case, Lord Nakado, won't your family be afraid? ”
Lao Li Touhu was suspicious for a long time, and felt that this matter was very strange, and what the later life said was not completely unreasonable, as the saying goes: The heart of defense is indispensable!
"In your opinion, what about the afterlife?" Lao Li Tou planned to hear what happened after that
The chicken can only remind this pastemaker: "If the tide is rarely troubled, I Beiyang should not intervene." Otherwise, our Beiyang Naval Division will have to escort the land division to ensure its landing. If the Lu Division is heavily damaged by the Japanese army in Chaoxian, the future of the Lushun base is worrying. If the land division wants to retreat, our water division will have to escort it back again.
If the naval division is ambushed by the Japanese Combined Fleet on the way, and the naval division abandons the land division and retreats on its own, the land division will be wiped out. If the sailor dies to protect the land division, it will be difficult for the main battle ship of the sailor to survive!
On the other hand, the Japanese fleet only needed to escort the land force from the mainland to the southern part of Chaoxian. If the Beiyang Naval Division is found escorting the land division, it can carry out a sneak attack without declaring war. As long as you succeed, you can be invincible. ”
Lao Li Tou didn't expect Beiyang to be so passive: "...... Is it possible to give up on the fresh food? ”
"Not only the whole Chaoxian, but even Liaodong must be ready to give up! Lord Zhongtang, the juniors dare to ask me what the Qing Dynasty used to resist the 200,000 well-trained and well-equipped Japanese Army? Is it a banner man who is skilled in arching horses, or a green camp that eats, drinks and has fun? Even if they went to the battlefield, they had only one effect, and that was to constantly make prisoners for the Japanese army! "I almost didn't say anything, this group of goods is a beat up pasta!
“…… Licentious! Nonsense, unbearable! Of course, Lao Li Tou knew the real situation, but because his military minister wanted to protect the face of the Qing Dynasty, he had to directly stop the other party.
Lao Tzu is from Nanyang, and he is not afraid that you will put on small shoes for me, so he snorted and laughed: "If I don't tell the truth today, I'm afraid that these two fierce generals under you will end up giving up their lives for righteousness!" ”
Liu Buyun was dissatisfied with the other party's domineering appearance, but he didn't expect this kid to be even more arrogant than he was back then: "Liche, how do you know that the combat power of the Japanese army is so high?" I am afraid that it is inappropriate to restrain myself from welcoming him! ”
Mi Ji did not give a special explanation, but warmly invited: "Brother Liu, Brother Deng, I am definitely not from the navy, but I also know a little about maritime affairs. It's better for the younger brother to play the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, let's have a sea war game, if the two big brothers win, they can naturally defeat the Japanese fleet! ”
“…… Hehe, Liche, what a young hero! Liu Buyun, who was in his forties, already thought that this thing was crazy and argued with naval professionals.
The young man deliberately reminded: "Let's decide the winner in one game, because the Japanese will not give you a second chance to turn the tables!" ”
"Good!" The two pipe belts also agreed categorically, vowing to teach this arrogant man a lesson and increase the prestige of Beiyang!
Lao Li, who had just been angry, was silent beside him, and he was still relieved of the abilities of the two fierce generals around him.
"The background of the deduction is the end of the first day of summer, the tide is rarely incidental, Japan does not comply, violates the alliance and provokes, the Qing Dynasty is strict, and troops are sent to suppress!
The main forces of the Qing and Japanese fleets met in the western waters of the peninsula, and the Japanese ships were the first to discover the enemy, immediately turned into battle formation, and took the initiative to open fire! "This can be regarded as clarifying the reasons for the future war for these second-hand goods
"Why did the Japanese ship discover our ship first?" Liu Buyun decided not to give up half of the benefits
Mi Ji had no choice but to say something first: "The Japanese fleet uses anthracite, and it can be discovered at least half an hour in advance!" ”
The strength of the Beiyang Naval Division is: the first detachment: Dingyuan, Zhenyuan; The second detachment: Weiyuan ("Queen Augusta"), Wuyuan ("Enkarada"), the third detachment: Zhiyuan, Jingyuan; The fourth detachment: come far and go far; Fifth detachment: Jiyuan, Pingyuan; Sixth detachment: Chaoyong, Yangwei; Torpedo boat detachment: 1st left, 2nd left, 3rd left, 1st right, 2nd right, 3rd right. For a total of 18 ships.
The Guangjia and Guangbing 2nd ships belonged to the Kuangdong Naval Division, and it was natural that they were not dispatched to participate in the war.
The forces of the combined fleet were as follows: Matsushima, Chiyoda, Itsukushima, Hashidate, Hiei, Fuso, Saikyo Maru, and Akasei; First Guerrillas: Yoshino, Takachiho, Akitsuzu, Naniwa; Torpedo boat fleet: No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, No. 6, No. 7, No. 8.
"So how do you decide the winner?" Zhang Peilun became a referee, but he didn't know the rules yet
The chicken has already written the judgment score: "Beiyang Dingyuan 10 points, Zhenyuan 8 points, Weiyuan 8 points, Wuyuan 5 points; 3 points for long-distance and far-reaching; Zhiyuan, Jingyuan, Jiyuan, Pingyuan 2 points; 1 point for Chao Yong and Yang Wei, and no points for torpedo boats.
Combined fleet: Yoshino, Matsushima, Itsukushima, Hashidate, Saikyo Maru 5 points, Naniwa, Takachiho, Fuso, Akitsuzu 4 points; Hiei, Chiyoda 2 points; 1 point for sincerity, no points for torpedo boats.
The total score of the Beiyang ships was 47 points, and the total score of the Japanese fleet was 46 points. A score difference of less than 3 points between the two sides counts as a tie, 3-5 points for a small win, 6-8 points for a big win, and more than 8 points for a decisive victory! ”
As long as the Japanese side wins by 8 points, it means that at least one "Zhenyuan" or "Uncle at Sea" has been netted in the naval battle!
Liu Buyun whispered to Deng Du for a moment, then turned around and nodded, which is considered any score and algorithm.
"Our combined fleet, from south to north, direction 340, the speed of this team is 12 knots, and the speed of the first guerrilla force is 16 knots!"
"I'm a Beiyang Naval Division, driving from west to east, direction 090, and the speed of the whole team is 10 knots!"
"After discovering the enemy fleet, our combined fleet marched in a column, with the first guerrilla group in front and the main team behind, trying to seize the T-shaped position!"
“…… Half an hour later, our Beiyang Naval Division discovered the enemy, with the two ships of 'Ding, Zhen' as the core, and marched in a horizontal formation, with animal power to cut off the Japanese fleet! ”
In the early stage, there is no doubt that the combined fleet must be passively beaten, who let the Ghanaian artillery like Tease, one shot in N minutes~!
Subsequently, Miji discovered the weak link of the Beiyang Naval Division, that is, its left flank was the "Empress Augusta", "Enkarada", "Jingyuan", and "Laiyuan" four ships, not the "Ao", "En", "Zhi", and "Jing" fast battleships!
The maximum speed of the "Jing" and "Lai" ships was less than 16 knots, and if they went up, they would be dragging the hind legs of the "Ao" and "En" and could not block the enemy ships.
Taking advantage of this loophole, the four clippers of the Japanese army were sent to implement the death sickle tactic and go around to the rear of the left flank of the Beiyang Naval Division.
The goal is the crispy "Chaoyong" and "Yang Wei", and the goal of the young people is very clear, starting with the easy to eat.
"Yoshino", "Takachiho", "Akitsuzu", and "Naniwa" did not work in pairs and pour firepower on two targets at the same time, but four ships concentrated their firepower at the same time and KO "Super Brave"!
Liu Buyun tried to cut down the combined fleet in half and cut off the connection between the Japanese army and his own team, and the two sides began to engage in short-handed combat.
However, they are also facing a severe test, and the eight Japanese torpedo boats can completely attack the second ship of "Ding" and Zhen under the cover of large ships.
………… Half an hour later............
"Our side sank five ships, Chaoyong, Yangwei, Pingyuan, Jiyuan, and Laiyuan, a total of 9 points!"
"Our side sank five ships, Matsushima, Itsukushima, Hiei, Chiyoda, and Chisei, for 13 points!"
The difference between the two sides is four points, which can be regarded as a small victory for the Beiyang Naval Division, which is gratifying.
"The two big brothers have a good move, and they are willing to bow down!"
"Where, where, the car is polite!"
Liu Buyun smiled on the surface, but his heart was tight, this kid had two hits.
"Hou Sheng, now I know that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky, right? Don't be arrogant in the future! ”
"Lord Zhongtang, I admire the talents of the two eldest brothers, and they deserve to be the best of my Beiyang! It's just ......"
"But what? Just say it! ”
"Lord Zhongtang, I lost a naval battle in Xia, but I won the whole war!"
“…… How so? ”
"The Sino-Japanese War began at sea and ended on land!"
