"The commander has an emergency!"
The foreign communication officer of the hatch knocked at the door. Haidi opened her eyes in a daze and dawdled for a moment. Then she opened the hatch and pulled out her pocket watch.
"An emergency? Did Alexis Mediterranean Fleet break into tyrrhenian sea? "
"Commander, as you expected, before conducting artillery training in the northwest waters of ustica Island, the fear fleet reported that it had found the main force of the Mediterranean Fleet of the Allies!"
Communications officer looked at Wang Haidi stiff way with a face of worship
"So small! Tyrrhenian sea is a big area, and I’m worried about selling another flaw to find Alexis unlucky. I didn’t expect this guy to take the initiative to deliver the door! " Wang Haidi wore a military cap and grabbed reading glasses. While walking towards the Commander Tower, he asked the communication officer about the situation. "When did you receive the report from the Second Battleship Team about where the French were? What instructions did General House reach?"
Chairman Wang asked many times because he knew that these Mediterranean J and NG wars were somewhat unreliable. The Turks had the courage to plan, the Austrian had the courage to plan and the Italian had the courage to plan. Chairman Wang had to keep an eye on it.
"At 15 o’clock, the commander’s flagship watchtower reported that the smoke column was found in the port side 29 direction, and it was judged that it was a large tonnage fleet. At 15: 05, we sent an identification code to the non-fleet and sent a destroyer. At 15: 00, we received a code report that Italian warships, allied countries, merchant ships must be high. At 15: 11, we received a report from the former feared fleet that the French capital ship was discovered. The French position was uncertain. The first reconnaissance fleet of House your legend, located in the north-west sea area of ustica Island,
The flying bridge leading to the bridge deck was crowded with officers in a hurry. When they saw the famous naval star Wang Haidi of the Allies, they realized that they would give way to the road and salute the respected commander on both sides of the flying bridge.
Wang Haidi forcibly pressed the anger and patiently listened to the introduction of the communication officer and stopped to ask.
"Mr. Communications Officer, do you think it is valuable for you to say information?"
Running with Wang Haidi in small steps, the communication officer heard that a stumble almost hit the general’s body. The communication officer pushed the bridge of his nose and his eyes dared not. The navy moved the Adam’s apple and asked, "What?"
"Don’t fleet size such as course and speed? Where is the exact location of General Katyn’s encounter with the French capital ship? "
The communication officer said that Wang Haidi looked depressed, and the Austrian communication officer missed the well-trained ocean fleet.
Wang Haidi patted the communication officer on the shoulder and sighed and led him into the commander tower. At this time, the flagship commander tower of the joint fleet was in a hurry, but this feeling was not like the handy experience that Wang Haidi experienced in the commander tower of the Luzov. Shake his head and put aside those dreams. Wang Haidi clapped his hands to attract the attention of his colleagues.
"The officers of the joint fleet may have made a little mistake." Wang Haidi signaled that he was ready to hand over the fleet commander, General Anton Vonhaus, to stay in his post, and called his officers to pick up the baton before coming to the sand table. "Since the non-fleet 30,000 yards away from the 29 th direction did not respond to our identification code, it must be our enemy. From 15: 05 to 15: 13, the joint fleet should promptly confirm the size of the non-fleet instead of simply and rudely sending the first reconnaissance fleet."
The officers of the joint fleet are still digesting the information. At this time, the navy will bend over and move the original second reconnaissance fleet to the position of no fleet, and then move the first reconnaissance fleet to the west side of ustica Island.
"The first reconnaissance fleet has a Mao Qi-class patrol, which has a certain fighting capacity and the speed is generally 25 knots. Since the second battleship team, General Katyn, reported that the French capital ship was found to be so lacking in battlefield information, we should transfer the first reconnaissance fleet in the past. This is the way to make the patrol accurate, so that the fleet will not be handed over to the second reconnaissance fleet, nor will it wave our valuable combat power. There is also a destroyer detachment and four destroyers escorted near the main force of the joint fleet, and a destroyer has also been dispatched to investigate the non-ship. The naval battle of Ri? land has proved to support the functions of detection, shelter, surprise and cover in the battle line confrontation of the fleet’s capital ships. We should summon the scattered light warships instead of just ten capital ships and three destroyers to rush into the battlefield! "
Wang Haidi finished his views in one breath. At this time, the faces of the officers of the joint fleet have become a little ashamed. Se, the so-called maritime powers in the Mediterranean finally realized that the naval battles of great powers are not just the confrontation between the number of capital ships and the steel tonnage.
"Good advantage is still in our hands. Alexis doesn’t know that I have the first hand. This time, the joint fleet must surprise the allied countries who look down on us!"
General House lost his mind, and Wang Haidi comforted him by saying, "The commander takes over the command of the deputy commander! Ordered the first reconnaissance fleet to turn to the north to investigate the French capital ship infested by ustica Island, and the second reconnaissance fleet quickly approached the west side. The fleet did not tell the fleet size to allow the first destroyer detachment and the second destroyer detachment to join the main fleet quickly. "
General House’s order was revised. The first reconnaissance fleet, the Yavos, was ordered to patrol. Captain Soloqin smiled and gave the newspaper to the chief seaman and seaman. After re-drawing the chart of ustica Island, the cockpit officers and men began to adjust the steering gear, turn the bell to the engine room, and reach a new order. The chief engineer of the engine room recovered the wandering steam pressure gauge, wiped off a layer of wet fog on the surface of the bell and carefully checked the degree.
"It’s fast!" The chief engineer waved his hand to his subordinates, and withdrew the coal bunker-moving boiler soldiers who were working hard in the engine room of the coal bunker, so as to open the coal bunker gate of a part of the side deck defense body on both sides of the boiler bunker to make the coal burning in an emergency.
The first reconnaissance fleet, a war patrol and four light cruisers, trembled slightly and suddenly burst out of their potential, moving from the right wing across the main queue of the joint fleet to the north.
(Gorgeous dividing line)
The joint fleet is 30 thousand yards apart, and the atmosphere of the Mediterranean fleet suddenly became tense.
On behalf of the sailing state, the mast, the diagonal truss and the military flag were slowly hoisted, and tyrrhenian sea put up a cruise formation with a width of almost 3 kilometers. According to the command of the flagship battleship Brittany, the Mediterranean fleet slowly formed two battle lines, namely the dreaded battleship and the old battleship.
In view of the fact that the nationality of the main ships of the Mediterranean Fleet belongs to France, there is a high degree of tacit understanding. The main fleet soon formed a long battle line. tyrrhenian sea dragged out the winding line, but it was a mixture of French, British and Greek old battleships. It was more difficult for the fleet to turn and regroup because of confusion and unfamiliar skills.
The battle lines of the former dreaded fleet eventually formed, and the two battle lines of the Mediterranean fleet were six kilometers apart. The first section of the dreaded fleet was heading north and east, and it was ready to quickly enter the battlefield. The word "the main force of the joint fleet" appeared for artillery training. The former dreaded fleet was delayed and prepared to deal with the old guys of the joint fleet and the first reconnaissance fleet, the Avos.
At 15: 23, the history said that the naval battle of ustica Island officially broke out, accompanied by the battle of the Mediterranean fleet, the French destroyer detachment approached the investigation, and the Turkish naval legal destroyer was born of the same root. It was too urgent, and the Mediterranean Turkish destroyer was quickly sunk by compatriots. Not only did it fail to complete the investigation, but it was also disgraceful. The first sunken warship in the naval battle of ustica Island was soaked from head to tail.
At 15: 34, a low-intensity naval battle broke out on the north side of ustica Island. The two sides were the former Allied fleet and the Allied First Cruiser Team and the First Destroyer Detachment.
French sailors who once admired the strategy of "Green Water Navy" for a short time joined forces with British cruisers to launch a fierce and fearless struggle against the allied fleet. However, body of work, a cannon at all levels of Italy and Austria-Hungary, fought back fiercely and beat the British and French allied forces to sink a French destroyer and slightly injured a British second-class cruiser.
With overwhelming advantages, the former warships of the joint fleet had the opportunity to achieve greater results. However, the report of the observation post of the Italian battleship Queen Margarita "Discovery of the French Capital Ship" was like hanging the sword of Damocles, the head of the allied navy, far away from ustica Island, tyrrhenian sea. The former fleet encountered anxiety and embarrassment when the Royal Navy battleship Collingwood faced the fierce German light cruiser like a mad dog during the naval battle in Portsmouth.
At 15: 41, when the British and French allied forces escaped from the birth day, they finally realized that they had encountered a steel fleet. The root of the steel fleet was not the main force of the joint fleet, but the fear of the joint fleet.
At 15: 45, the news was fed back. The commander of the flagship Brittany of the Mediterranean Fleet, Taxiaoren, became rampant when he succeeded. Lieutenant General El Alexis froze his sight. The struggling fleet on the right rear and the fleet on the east side wandered back and forth almost 23,000 yards away.
"Emperor, which fleet is the main force of the joint fleet?"
(Gorgeous dividing line)
15: 04 Joint Fleet Flagship
"Although the number of sinking a destroyer and injuring a cruiser is somewhat conservative, it is not unacceptable in view of the fact that the French capital ship is nearby …" Wang Haidi stretched out his hand and played the newspaper and turned to ask his intelligence staff. "Is there any news from the first reconnaissance fleet?"
"Two minutes ago, the newspaper office received a report from General Sorochen that the first reconnaissance fleet had arrived in the west of ustica Island, but no trace of the French capital ship was found."
The intelligence staff opened the newspaper and explained
"What about the second reconnaissance fleet?"
Intelligence staff to find the second reconnaissance fleet feedback prevaricated way
"This ….. until five minutes ago or method to judge …"
Wang Haidi opens his mouth to scold the mother or is it a confidential reporter to rescue the Second Reconnaissance Fleet?
"Wait, this is the latest report of the Second Reconnaissance Fleet!" The newspaper clerk broke into the commander’s tower and waved his hand. The newspaper gasped, "No, the fleet is quite large, with at least 15 10,000-ton warships!"
Although there are four light cruisers in the Second Reconnaissance Fleet, most of these second-class cruisers and protective cruisers have old hull and outdated power system, and the maximum speed can barely reach 17 knots. If it weren’t for the fleet that spent too much time forming a battle line, the Second Reconnaissance Fleet might not be able to bite its opponent for half an hour.
"Ten thousand-ton warships? Fifteen ships …? " Wang Haidihaus looked at each other in surprise and said, "Is it the main force of the Mediterranean fleet?"
The second gun Chapter 19 Naval peace plan (5)
"Is it the main force of the Mediterranean Fleet?"
Wang Haidi asked a question, which is associated with the countless poor performances of Italians in modern wars. Wang Haidi can confirm the Second Reconnaissance Fleet
The fleet on the west side is not the support fleet of the envisaged Mediterranean Fleet, but the main force of the Mediterranean Fleet. You know, almost all the allied Mediterranean Navy J and jīng China are in his hands. The Italians have always claimed that "the most stable sea site" is impossible for tyrrhenian sea to have another branch composed of 10,000-ton warships. There is one option left for the allied steel fleet.
The battlefield situation is getting worse. Haidi has no time, or rather, no strength to curse those Italians who are afraid of the fleet. Haidi lost his newspaper and ordered General House to take over his command for the time being and climb the towering main mast watchtower of the battleship in a hurry.
At 3: 50 in the afternoon, the Mediterranean light has already tilted westward, which led Wang Haidi to see the target on the west side. Wang Haidi has confirmed his opponent. He just wants to observe the position and distance of the Mediterranean fleet to confirm that bad feeling. "
Against the diabolical light of the Mediterranean summer, Haidi urged the Italian lookout sergeant to estimate the relative position of the Mediterranean fleet on the west side, and got the specific data. Heidi’s face was covered with fine sweat.
"Things are not good. The Mediterranean fleet is located in the left front of the joint fleet. The distance between the two fleets is about twenty-three thousand yards …"
Hai-di Wang Se face pale go commander tower to meet gunther Gunther Lutjens lightly confessed 1.
Gunther Lutjens’s heart was inexplicably tangled, and a picture of the dangerous situation unconsciously came to Gunther Lutjens’s mind
At this time, the Mediterranean Fleet Joint Fleet is located in the sea area west of the south of ustica Island. The relative position of the two is somewhat subtle. The Mediterranean Fleet is located in the left front of the joint fleet, and the distance between them is almost 23,000 yards. The maximum speed of the capital ships of the two sides is not much different. If the Mediterranean Fleet takes the lead and cuts the route of the joint fleet at a certain angle, the Mediterranean Fleet can easily form an attack angle advantage in front of the joint fleet, that is to say, the Chinese character is horizontal.
If we want to get rid of the Mediterranean fleet, the combined fleet can choose to turn east or west, and in the process of turning, it will change from the initial three-row cruise formation to the easy-to-play side-fire battle line. This tactical move is quite difficult for the crude multinational forces of the combined fleet.
The second joint fleet turns eastward and is likely to break into the shallow water on the southern edge of ustica Island. Even if ustica Island is a volcanic island, the joint fleet will run aground. Perhaps, of course, the joint fleet can also choose to turn westward. However, the distance between the two fleets is about 23,000 yards. It is very likely that the joint fleet will head-on into the Mediterranean fleet artillery as soon as it makes a turn and changes its array.
This is not the trouble department. Unless the joint fleet turns westward under the pressure of the word horizontal head, the joint fleet will always be on the east side of the battlefield with reference to the position of the sun. It is quite unfavorable for the joint fleet to engage in war. The Mediterranean fleet can easily aim at the opponent, while the joint fleet can aim at the conditions.
Gunther Lutjens, what do you think we should do? Wang Haidi asked unconsciously turning her finger at the wedding ring.
