Red Alert 1895

The officer of the British observation team was very puzzled why Taiwan's navy chose to separate different types of ships to fight. ⊙, you must know that naval operations focus on the cooperation of multiple types of ships. Battleships, cruisers, and destroyers form a task force together, so that the advantages of different types of ships can be matched and compensated for each other. For example, if a battleship is not good at close combat, then at this time, there must be a destroyer to protect him, so as to avoid being taken advantage of by the enemy's destroyer. There are also cruisers that run fast and can move up and down the battlefield when necessary, effectively supporting the operations of other warships.

And this kind of thinking is actually the same as the Army's multi-arms cooperative operations, and even more important than the Army's coordinated operations. It is impossible for one type of warship to conquer the world, so it is necessary for multiple types of warships to cooperate in combat, and the joint command can exert greater combat effectiveness. This is the so-called effect of one plus one greater than two, and can gain greater combat effectiveness by learning from each other. .

But Taiwan's tactics, they still use the old-fashioned combat thinking of the past, using the past thinking of forming a single ship type and then fighting alone. This kind of combat thinking will be very backward, so this British military officer is very incomprehensible.

"No, this is exactly the brilliance of the Chinese people. You can't use the standards of British naval officers to measure the quality of the current officers of the Chinese people. The quality of the current Chinese navy officers is definitely within the range of naval powers in the world. The bottom of the ranking. They have powerful warships, but the quality of officers and sailors is obviously lower, even worse than that of our Great Japanese Empire. The multi-ship joint operations you mentioned are of course increasing the power, but this is for the A commander's ability is also a huge test. If an officer is asked to command a unit composed of different arms, the requirements for the commander's ability will suddenly increase a lot. This kind of multi-arms coordinated operations obviously requires the commander's quality It's very high. It's not something that ordinary people can do."

"Taiwan currently does not have such multi-ship coordinated operations commanders. If they rashly follow the trend and use multi-ship coordinated operations, the effect they achieve will not be the so-called one plus one greater than two, but it may be because of them. The running-in between them is not good, and the tacit cooperation is not good. The result is that one plus one is less than two. Not only are the Chinese people not stupid, but they are very smart. They clearly saw that the quality of their officers was not good, so they chose to fight separately. They currently have three commanders, one commander is responsible for commanding the traditional Sovereign-class battleships, the other is responsible for commanding five new battleships. The last one is responsible for commanding the largest number of cruisers and destroyers. I estimate that between cruisers and destroyers, there are still One commander is in charge of the cruisers and another is in charge of all the destroyers."

"In this way, each of their officers is commanding a single type of warship, and the requirements for their command capabilities are also greatly reduced. Moreover, the formation composed of a single type of ship requires less capability for the formation commanders. Many, so that they can effectively and flexibly command naval forces composed of the same type of ship. In this way, they will not be afraid of major incidents in the navy due to running-in problems. On the contrary, because each commander is in charge of the same type of ship, it is very Handy."

"Hey, if we hadn't been attracted by those new battleships at that time, then none of us would have ended up in such an embarrassing result."

Yuheng Ito really regretted why he was attracted by Taiwan's new battleships at that time, and now he ended up with such a result that both ends are not human. If they have been able to keep the battleships in their own team, the quality of the Japanese officers at that time will be much better than that of Taiwan's officers, and they can definitely get a chance in the melee. If once the sea becomes a multi-ship melee. In this way, the Japanese with higher quality have an advantage, and they still have a good chance of winning. If time drags on. Then this can completely delay the disappearance of the spirit of Taiwan's navy sailors, so that Japan's hope of victory will be greatly increased.

"We really didn't expect that they would actually use the army's tactics at sea. Isn't this a scam for the navy to use the army's tactics?" the British military officer scolded.

However, this strategy of using the army by the navy is a plan based on the quality of Taiwan's officers. This can be said to be a tailor-made plan for the Taiwan Navy. It is not universal. This method of combat by the navy and the army is not the best way. Because there is also a problem of probability, that is, whether the enemy is in the trap and whether it will follow your plan. This is completely a small gamble, if the enemy goes according to your plan. Then of course you can do it. But if the enemy doesn't follow your plan, then naturally it won't work. These Japanese didn't even think that these Taiwanese navies would use this army's combat thinking to fight at sea, which completely confused the Japanese.

The Taiwan Navy hopes to use the method of "soldiers against soldiers, generals against kings", that is, battleships against enemy battleships, and destroyers and cruisers against enemy destroyers and cruisers. beat. This kind of combat is the most beneficial method for Taiwan's navy, because not only does Taiwan have more and better warships, but it can also reduce the demand for officers' command capabilities. Otherwise, once multi-ship coordinated operations are carried out, this will instead cause Taiwan's military officers to focus on one thing and lose another, and will not be able to effectively command the coordinated operations of various types of naval ships, and problems will easily arise in command.

But the Japanese actually fell for it. They actually mobilized their battleships to fight those Taiwan's Sword-class battleships, and then gave Taiwan a chance to implement their plan. Now there are two options before the Japanese army, that is, to order the cruisers and destroyers to retreat, and then Taiwan's Sovereign-class battleships will turn around and attack the six Japanese and American battleships.

However, if an order is issued to prohibit the retreat of those destroyers and cruisers, I am afraid that their cruisers and destroyers will fall into a result of being slaughtered by Taiwan's battleships. Using battleships to slaughter destroyers and cruisers is completely overkill!

"Your Excellency, what should we do? Vice Admiral Miller of the United States has made another request, hoping to let their cruisers and destroyers retreat as soon as possible, and then take shelter. Please reply quickly, they are in a hurry, what do you want? How to decide?"

Ito Yuheng said viciously: "Since this is the case, we will bet against the Chinese. The best way at present is not to let those destroyers and cruisers retreat, but to bet against them. Their battleships will fight our destroyers. and cruisers, and our battleships are also going to fight their destroyers and cruisers. See who can't hold on first, and whose destroyers and cruisers can't hold on first, then any of us can gain the initiative on the battlefield. If our cruisers If the destroyers and destroyers fail first, then their battleships can turn around and attack us. If their destroyers and cruisers fail first, then our six battleships can take the opportunity to engage in a decisive battle with their battleships. At that time, our cruisers, destroyers, and our battleships cooperated together, and then formed a multi-ship cooperative combat opportunity to weaken their commanders' command capabilities to the extreme through melee."

"Their single ship type certainly has an advantage in this regard, but once our battleships and our cruiser destroyers join forces, then our combat effectiveness will inevitably be greater than two. And their single ship type must have a very huge The disadvantage is that we can use our advantages of multi-ship cooperation to attack their disadvantages. At that time, our probability of winning will increase many times. Therefore, we must break through the blocking of their cruisers and destroyers as soon as possible. Then join forces with our cruisers and destroyers, and the balance of victory will start to lean heavily towards us."

"Order, tell Vice Admiral Miller of the United States that he cannot retreat. The time has come to test them this time. If they can sustain it, then we will be the winner. This time, the test will be on both sides The ability of the destroyer and the cruiser, the test is the ability to resist pressure and the spiritual will of both parties, if whoever lasts longer, that is the winner, understand?"

"Yes!"

U.S. Navy Vice Admiral Miller saw this order from Ito Yuheng, and immediately began to curse: "We let destroyers and cruisers delay more than a dozen Chinese battleships~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This Ito Yuheng is sick Is it? He doesn't know, we will lose a lot like this!"

The vice admiral of the US Navy felt sorry for these soldiers, because if they bet against each other like this, it would be a competition to see who is more ruthless on both sides, and who is more ruthless to his soldiers. This method will cause huge losses to the destroyers and cruisers on both sides. It is a test of the perseverance and endurance of the cruisers and destroyers sailors on both sides. Whoever can last longer will have an advantage. The thinking of Americans and Japanese is completely different. Americans cherish human life very much, because the human resources in the United States are not rich, and he also brought this kind of thinking here. Even though the vast majority of these soldiers are Japanese, he will inevitably feel a little sad about these losses.

However, he didn't know that the Japanese never regarded their soldiers as "people", and it didn't matter if they died anyway. In the eyes of those officers, they were just a number. (To be continued.)
