Chapter 135: Naval Combat Conference

"Attention, both sides of the ship, okay, slow down."

"Master Hou, what should I do with these six fighting ships?"

"All of them have been transformed into new fighting ships, and in the future, these improved fighting ships will be responsible for offshore training, and it is impossible for the fleet to stay here and do such things."

"Okay, understood, then we now have six repair docks, three for the maintenance of new warships, and the rest will be renovated."

"Yes, the maintenance of new warships should be paid attention to, and it may not be peaceful recently."

"Don't worry, these three babies can be re-launched in three days at the earliest."

Li Yong and the person in charge of the shipyard are communicating about maintenance and improvement, although in this sea trial, the Admiral, Xishan, and Huating are all performing very well, but it is still necessary to carry out systematic inspections to ensure that they have no risks in future voyages and operations, because there are more than 600 people on the Admiral alone, if there is a problem in the deep sea, then these people will be buried in the belly of the fish, and they must not be sloppy at all, as for those captured fighting ships, they will naturally be transformed into new warships equipped with artillery, But in terms of firepower, all aspects can only be used as warships for coastal patrols, plus the previous four, it can be formed into a small fleet, Li Yong and the person in charge of the shipyard explained in detail, and rushed to the naval barracks non-stop, not that he didn't want to go home immediately, but after the pirate incident, he vaguely felt that this group of pirates was prepared, and soon attacked his Huating County, so he had to race against time to arrange everything, Changle originally wanted to pick up Lang Jun from the port, But she was told by someone sent by the navy to wait at home, and Changle also knew that Li Yong must have something to do with this trip, otherwise he would definitely go home immediately with his character, so Her Royal Highness the eldest princess had no choice but to be a resentful woman at home, and Li Yong began to discuss the results of this sea trial in the navy's war room at this time.

"First of all, this sea trial is good in terms of results, but it has also exposed many of our problems, such as the shortage of ammunition and various supplies, especially in terms of ammunition, we are warships, not merchant ships, and we can supply along the coast without supplies, but if there is no ammunition, is it really a collision? Especially in our battle against the Blood Tiger Pirates, we could have wiped out this group of pirates, but because we were short of ammunition, we had to retreat. ”

Li Yong very unceremoniously cited the problems in the pirate battle in this sea trial, Liu Renliang and the corresponding naval officers lowered their originally high heads, because as Li Yong said, they exposed a lot of problems, but Li Yong gave them face and did not mention them one by one, at this time Liu Renliang stood up directly.

"Report, the responsibility for this time is mine, I didn't train them well, please punish the general."

"No, the commander is not wrong, it is us captains who are too self-righteous, or we are using the old ship of the previous one on the new ship, and we will punish it if we want to punish it."

The three captains saw that their commander rushed to stop the responsibility, and they also quickly stood up, because they had been together for a year, and they knew that their young commander had changed from a landlubber to a qualified navy, and he was far more talented than them in the operation of the new navy, and he stayed with them no matter what he ate and drank, even if an ordinary sailor encountered any problems, this young commander personally helped them solve them, whether it was training or family matters, for this chief general who loved soldiers like a son, The entire naval barracks loves and respects him, if Li Yong is their spiritual leader, and Liu Renliang is the guide of this spiritual leader, Li Yong sees his subordinates fighting for each other's responsibility, which makes him very satisfied, but is he holding him accountable? Surely not, he said, squeezing his hand.

"What to rob, it's not your responsibility to be responsible, you are just executors, as your general, I didn't train you well, the responsibility is not you, and this meeting is not to hold anyone responsible, but to discuss and find problems, solve problems, this piracy incident, you also know that it is not accidental, but some people retaliate against us, but we just happened to intercept it, I estimate that soon other pirates will launch new attacks on us, so our first task now is to formulate a combat plan."

Hearing Li Yong say this, Liu Renliang and they were also a little ashamed, but as the commander of the navy, he came to the defense sand table in the sea area of Huating County, because he discussed it with Li Yong on the way back, and he also had a general idea of the specific combat plan, and he took the baton and began to put forward his combat plan and ideas with everyone.

"The admiral is right, from those pirate captives, we have learned some important information, there are dozens of large and small pirates entrenched in the East China Sea, the largest of which is not the blood tiger pirate group we encountered, but a group called Hell Devil Pirates, there is no detailed information on how many warships, but from the prisoners, we know that they have five ships, and the rest of the warships are unknown, so I have a lot of reason to judge that they will come to attack our Huating this time, there will definitely be them, everyone, please see, It's just my Huating's defense chart, at present, our three new warships have begun to be maintained and transformed, and the only active warships are the original four improved fighting ships, and it is obviously impossible to defend such a large sea area with four only fighting ships, so what we need most now is time, for this reason, my combat plan is to first patrol in this sea area with four improved fighting ships, so that not only can we achieve the effect of early warning, but also they are also protected by shore-based artillery, Even if the enemy retreats, they can also retreat under the cover of shore-based artillery, and then all the navy without ships, including the marines, will build defensive positions at various landing points, as long as they can resist the first round of attack, then we will have plenty of time to confront them, they have no supplies at sea, and we are on the defensive side, and all aspects of the supply are beneficial to us, and when they have no supplies to retreat, that is when we start to counterattack, so I became this operation for the defensive counterattack. ”

Liu Renliang took the long command headquarters and pointed on the huge sand table in the middle of the conference table, quite like a general, and the other captains and commanders also raised corresponding questions and opinions.

"Commander, even if we defend it, how can we ensure that we have ships to attack? Our Admiral, Xishan, and Huating have just been repaired and improved, and this time is not certain. ”

"Yes, even if there are ships, how can we find those pirates in the vast sea?"

"There is also a shortage of experienced sailors now, and the current two frigates Xishan and Huating are not enough according to the full load, how can we follow up the operation?"

"On the side of our Marine Corps, there are now more than 300 people, in addition to the defensive positions you just mentioned, who is responsible for the security of Huating County?"

According to the tradition of the Xishan battalion, that is, at the operational meeting, after the supreme commander put forward the battle plan, all the subordinate officers can raise the questions in their hearts, the purpose is to let everyone understand the combat intention, otherwise they don't understand how to fight, then the fight is a confused battle, and after everyone asked questions, Liu Renliang glanced at Li Yong, only to see that he didn't say anything, sitting there calmly, without looking at him, Liu Renliang understood what Li Yong meant, That is, the combat plan was put forward by himself, so naturally he would complete it, and he just helped him check and fill in the gaps in the end, because he is now the commander of the navy and the supreme combat commander, and when Li Yong is not there, he has the final say, even if Li Yong is there, he will also be under his specific command in terms of operations, and Li Yong is more like a referee, ruling on his plan.

"First, the most critical thing in this plan is to defend, and then counterattack, as for the time of repair and maintenance of the three warships, the shipyard has begun to arrange personnel to start work, I really can't give you an answer to the specific time, but we have to believe in the workers of our shipyard, they will definitely complete it as quickly as possible, is there no ship, will you fight? Even if our navy loses ships, it is still a brave Xishan navy, and I ask you to remember this for me, and let your sailors remember it. Second, as for finding those pirates, it will be simpler, first of all, we all know that these notorious pirates are greedy, and the wealth that we have in Huating County, can they let it go? The answer is, definitely not, if I am a pirate, I will definitely make a comeback, as long as they come again, when the time comes, our warship will teach them how to be a man, if they are not completely annihilated, we can track them, even the nest will be pulled out for him, of course, this will involve the landing operation of the marines, you marines must be ready to fight with the ship at any time, third, as for the issue of sailors, the admiral has already given me an idea, we can't just stare at those who have sailing experience, we have equipment and ships, You can recruit on land, I am a living example, who is born a sailor, that is not practiced, Xishan and Huating two ships, now there are not enough manpower, but not much? Could it be that you two captains are so close that this ship will not be opened? This battle won't be fought? Finally, the security problem in the city that the Marine Corps said, you don't have to worry about this, I will communicate with the administrative yamen, we are now doing a good job of attacking at sea, and we can't prevent those pirates from landing, what kind of security is not safe, the entire Huating County will be turned into ashes, and we will become sinners in Huating. ”

After listening to Liu Renliang's reasoned explanation, the captains and commanders were ashamed, and Li Yong saw the officers who were not afraid to speak up by Liu Renliang, he felt that he was going to express his opinion at this time, and he let Liu Renliang, who was a little excited, sit down and said.

"You have also listened to Commander Liu's battle plan, do you still have any questions and unclear points?"

At this time, how come they still don't know what they are going to do? Then I really want to retire and go home to pick up my children, and I have made it clear that there is no problem.

"Okay, since everyone knows and there is no problem, I will add here, I very much agree with what Commander Liu said, we are the navy, even if there is no ship, we are also the most fierce and elite navy on the sea, when you come back, you also see those relatives and Huating people who greeted you, what you use, what you eat, every shell and bullet you use, every shell and bullet, they have worked hard to make, so you should never forget that you are the people's soldiers, not some majestic soldiers, I will not say more, I will announce it now, The combat plan was passed, all actions were commanded by Liu Renliang as the supreme commander, if Yang Fengyin disobeyed the order, sent to the military court for disposal, today everyone went home and said goodbye to home, from tomorrow, all personnel canceled their vacation and entered combat readiness, the operation codename, Mount Tai. ”
