Chapter 366: The Austrian Detachment
Half a month later, the fleet crossed Shunde Mansion and entered the eastern waters of the South China Sea, which was about 2,000 miles away from Wuyangfu.
The scale of the Shengong fleet is not large, and all actions are carried out in strict accordance with the naval drill code written by Renault.
Renault has not written a lot of things in recent years, first writing various plans and a few boxes. After that, he drew a lot of design drawings, plus design instructions, after the supplement of Zhang Tan, Mozi, Luo Ning, and Xiaoman, several pack carts could not fit, and Renault wrote it by hand, no less than three million words.
With the establishment of the Divine Engineer Army, all kinds of drills flew all over the sky, not to mention that the scalp of the Tiger King was numb, Renault flipped over and scared himself.
The navy, army, and air force are all combined, and there are more than 150 volumes named after the code of conduct, regulations, and military law, not to mention those generals and soldiers, and even Renault, who wrote these things by hand, can't remember them completely.
These things are actually quite rigid, and Renault doesn't value them very much, but he knows that for the uneducated Da Chu people, you have to do this, refine everything to the extreme, even what bowl to eat, what to eat every week, what to eat during wartime, and which direction to go when you sleep, as long as you remember these, the soldiers of the Shengong Army will not be at a loss, and under any circumstances, they know what they should do.
"Commander Lan, the patrol airship has reported that the fleet has been found two hundred and forty miles away, and it should be Austrian to see the flag. The number is 10 main warships, 20 first-class warships, 30 auxiliary warships, and 50 transport ships. "The latest battle report came from the watchtower.
The official position of commander is naturally a bit of Renault's bad taste.
Ironclad ships, unlike sail ships, also had masts, but they were not used. In the middle of the three masts, there is a chimney with a diameter of two meters and a height of twelve meters.
Unlike the ancient warships on Earth, it was not until after the sea trials that Renault discovered that since many resources of the two worlds were different, there was no need for masts at all.
The calorific value of orange coke is much higher than that of coal, and the soot produced is very small, and the effect of the chimney is far smaller than he imagined, not even a quarter of it.
Not only that, the fuel tank is full at one time, which is enough for the battleship to sail on the sea for more than 20,000 miles, and with the supply ships behind, the sailing distance can be increased by another ten times.
After all, in the beginning of the Navy, except for the small military port near Shengong City, the Shengong fleet has no supply port, especially fuel, only in the Forbidden Land of Death, and only half of the transport ships can be divided to load a large amount of orange coke.
Zhenyuan-class battleship, Renault's design is very unreasonable, after Xiaoman's changes, there are still many problems, hanging sails, barely can make the battleship move, but the speed of two to three knots, no one can stand it at all, so simply abandon it.
A hundred warships, transports, this is a very standard Austrian detachment. Don't look at Renault after he arrived at the Forbidden Land, he never left, and his grasp of intelligence is not weaker than that of the Great Chu Army, and even many times, he can know it first, after all, the monitoring effect of the God of Wealth is very good.
If he could monitor it around the clock, he wouldn't need the battle report from Los Angeles at all.
"How far is the Austrian detachment from the coastline?" asked Lan Bing.
"One hundred and fifty miles. ”
Lan Bing's eyes lit up: "Order the reconnaissance boat to continue reconnaissance, and order the first, second, and third air groups to enter the combat preparation procedure." ”
One hundred and fifty miles away from the coastline, this distance is not close, with the speed of the Austrian fleet at eight knots, if you want to dock, it will take at least five hours, or even longer, such a long time is enough for Lan Bing to operate.
"Tiger Shuai, the Austrian detachment is one hundred and fifty miles away from the coastline, obviously not wanting to be discovered by us. Lan Bing's eyes were full of excitement.
"Oh!" the Tiger King replied, obviously not understanding what Lan Bing was trying to say.
"If you are not mistaken, this Austrian detachment is preparing for a sneak attack, judging from their route and number, it cannot be Shunde Mansion, the most valuable place between Wuyang Mansion and Shunde Mansion......" Lan Bing's finger slowly moved on the map.
It's no secret that the Austrians are short of supplies, so they will definitely look for the most valuable, that is, the most supplied.
"Here ......"
When Lan Bing looked at the map, the Tiger King sitting next to him was also watching, he kept in mind the order of his husband, he would never interfere in the war at sea, he didn't understand naval warfare at all.
The things in the sky were handed over to Lan Yunxi, and after coming out of Shengong City for more than half a month, not a single order from the Tiger King was issued, which made Lan Bing feel that he was the commander of this army.
Since becoming the captain of the Stormtrooper a year ago, she has slowly become accustomed to the role of captain, and when she arrives in Shengong City, she is still the commander of the fleet, the difference is that she can only command one battleship, but now she has more than a dozen ships, in her opinion, in fact, there is not much difference, she feels that she can command more warships.
"No, not here. The Tiger King shook his head.
Lan Bing was stunned for a moment, when she first set off, every time she gave an order, she would fight for the Tiger King's opinion, even if she thought she was right. After all, the Tiger King is the commander of this force, don't look at the dozens of sailors under her command, but she knows very well in her heart that this force will only obey the orders of her husband, including her Lan Bing.
The Tiger King thought for a moment, in fact, he had been thinking about it for a long time, since Lan Bing took out the map, he had been thinking about it, and kept comparing what Mr. had taught him. Lan Bing's performance was very good before, even surpassing the Air Force Commander Lan Yunxi, but this time it was not right, Lan Bing's thinking was different from that of Mr. Guidance.
"Here. The Tiger King's thick fingers knocked a few times in Wuyang Mansion.
Lan Bing was stunned for a moment, hadn't Wuyang Mansion been captured a long time ago?
Suddenly, Lan Bing reacted and looked at the Tiger King in surprise, this stupid-looking commander, as if he ...... Doesn't seem stupid at all!
That's right, it was her Lan Bing who was wrong, before Zuoqing took Wuyangfu, the Austrians were extremely short of supplies, it is said that during the Battle of Wuyangfu, the density of the Austrians' artillery was very low, and it was suspected that their shells and gunpowder were insufficient, and some people even saw that the Austrian soldiers were holding food and desperately stuffing it into their mouths, as if they were starving ghosts reincarnated, indicating that their food supply was also problematic.
I really guessed correctly, the conditions of the second batch of landing troops were far less good than those of the First Fleet of the Lei Army, which not only had 100 times the base ammunition, but also had surplus food for the past month.
The supply of the Second Fleet is calculated on a daily basis, except for fresh water, all personnel have two meals a day, and even so, it can only ensure that when they arrive in Chunjiang Mansion, they will not go hungry, and the extra rations are only for two days.
And Zuo Qing adjusted his course, diverted to Wuyang Mansion, and floated on the sea for seven more days, in order to ensure food, he even had to stop the boat twice to fish to ensure food supply.
From the moment of the naval battle, the Second Fleet was in ruins, and if it couldn't take Wuyangfu, it could only live by fishing at sea.
Therefore, when breaking into Wuyang Mansion, many Austrian soldiers ignored Shangfeng's orders, grabbed food first, and ate while fighting.
But now the situation is different, Wuyang Mansion has long been taken by Zuoqing, Wuyang Mansion is an extremely important state capital in the entire Great Chu, if you rank the capital of Great Chu, Wuyang Mansion is definitely among the top five, or even the top three.
Not only is the population large and the area large, but the economy is also extremely prominent, with abundant materials and sufficient food. Now that Wuyangfu has been taken, there can be no problem with the food of 500,000 people in the Second Fleet.
Therefore, this detachment will not be because of the westward expansion of materials, with the material reserves in various parts of Wuyang Mansion, 500,000 people can't digest it at all, and 5 million people are about the same.
"Commander-in-chief, what do you think?" Lan Bing asked, this time he really asked for advice, and he took it for granted just now.
The Tiger King shook his head, how did he know, Mr. said that the first important intelligence of the war, Shengong City is eight thousand miles away from Wuyang Mansion, and it does not belong to the sequence of the Great Chu Army, but Mr. can get some outdated battle reports.
Not to mention that those battle reports are from a few months ago, even if they are a few days ago, it is difficult to make an accurate judgment. Anyway, this time the Shengong Army attacked, Mr. said, mainly to train the troops, as much as possible to eliminate the living force of the Austrians, as for what they want to do, what's the matter.
"The information is insufficient, we can't guess, and we don't need to know this, even if we encounter it, we can eliminate it. The Tiger King said as a matter of course.
Mr. analyzed for him, from the Romans Islands to Dachu, even the nearest port, it will take two and a half months to three months, that is to say, the follow-up troops of the Austrians have an interval of at least two months or more, so when one is killed and one is missing, and everyone is killed, it doesn't matter what tricks the Austrians want to play, it's all.
First, what the gentleman said is all right.
Second, if it is incorrect, please refer to Article 1.
That's what the Tiger King thought and did, he didn't bother to guess the intentions of the Austrian detachment, turned his head to Lan Bing and said, "Destroy them and use the aircraft carrier to drill the code." ”
The aircraft carrier drill code, there is only one core, using aircraft to kill and injure the enemy from a long distance, the highest level, and kill the enemy without damage.
"Yes. ”
Lan Bing answered, picked up the intercom: "General Tiger's order, implement the aircraft carrier combat drill, the fleet turns, and advances against the Austrian fleet, the aircraft carrier battle group standard combat mode, each unit calculates the distance, time, course, wind direction, and prepares for battle in batches." ”
The core of the aircraft carrier drill code is easy to understand, can be executed, and requires a lot of calculations. First, try not to fight at night as much as possible, whether it is an airship or a battleship, neither Austria nor Dachu has the ability to fight at night, including ironclad ships.
According to this principle, it is necessary to calculate the distance and time, so that the battle starts in the early hours of the morning as much as possible and ends before dark, so that you can have more time for the battle.
Under the huge thrust of the boiler, the ironclad ships can run 400 to 500 miles a day, and even reach more than 600 miles if they sail to the limit, while they are only 240 miles away from the Austrian detachment, and it is almost dark at this time.
According to the second article of the aircraft carrier combat drill code, the combat distance is between 10 and 50 miles, and this distance is the most beneficial to the Shengong fleet.
Note: If an enemy aircraft is found, it will be executed in accordance with Article 3.
