Chapter 167 Battle
On the wall of the Qing'aowan Base Command, a huge picture of the Fujian-Guangdong sea area is hung.
The indoor conference table was also replaced by a huge sand table. The sand table was made of different colors of gypsum, which perfectly restored the coastal conditions of Guangdong's coastal coast, the location of islands and reefs, and marked all the navigation elements such as coastal cities and possible mooring and supply points in the area.
This is the basic skill of the combat staff. They are combining the latest information to deploy the troops of both sides and reflect the sand table with models of large and small size.
Zhao Hao stood on his head with his arms in his arms, with Chen Huaixiu, Jin Ke, Wang Rulong, Ma Yinglong, Ma Caron and other generals standing on the left and right, as well as Zheng Hui, who commanded the Ryukyu naval army, also on the list. The woman standing opposite Zheng Hui in a well-cut black police robe and brass-buckled cowhide belt was Lin Feng.
I saw that she neither wore a scarf and hat on her head like a man, nor did she tie her hair into a beautiful peach-heart bun like a woman in the Ming Dynasty. Instead, she directly let her long hair shawl down like a waterfall, and only had a big red bow tied behind her back, which was refreshing.
Zheng Xi could recognize that this hairstyle similar to the Ryukyu Shinto's Zhu women, but it didn't have that big bow. I thought I didn't know where this woman came from and why she dressed like this.
The reason is very simple. Mr. Zhao likes it. Since she came in, Zhao Hao looked at her several times, which made Chen Huaixiu feel depressed. The big pig's hooves just like freshness.
"Ahem." At this time, Mr. Zhao moved his eyes from Lin Feng's face to everyone and said, "Everyone, the head of the agency has completed the military information report just now. Let the Chief of Staff assign the combat mission."
"Yes." Wang Rulong responded in a deep voice, picked up the long wooden stick next to the sand table, and said to everyone loudly: "You don't have to be scared by the huge number of enemies. The only ones they really threaten are the more than 30 ships from the Portuguese, at best, plus the thirty ships from the Wuyangtong Trading Hall. The rest are just some of the weak troops who beat Taiping fists and beat the edge drums. So we seem to be at a disadvantage in number, but the number of elite soldiers who are really used is at least twice as many as the opponent. As long as we use the troops carefully and avoid premature losses of the main force, the advantage lies with us!"
~~
Almost at the same time, Commander Domingo on the Duke of Goa was also holding a combat meeting.
In addition to the Portuguese officers and Lin Hongzhong and his gang, the participants were also selected to lead the captains of the huge pirate fleet, including Lin Daoqian.
At first, Lin Daoqian was surprised and thought it was a scam, but he saw many familiar faces, all of whom were famous in the sea of Fujian and Guangdong, and even found Zeng Yiben standing in the corner... and understood the Portuguese's idea. There were so many sea masters mixed with dragons and snakes, and they could not even review them. It would be better to get them all for a meeting and let them supervise each other.
In this era of extremely inconvenient sea communication, it is not easy for pirate warships that are seriously lacking in training to advance and retreat together. If you do any strategic deception, you can only surround your own people.
Therefore, the Folang Ji people can only use simple arrangements as a whole and only make small moves in key areas. The former is not afraid of leakage, while the latter will not say it on such occasions at all.
"Everyone, according to reliable information, the Jiangnan fleet has only more than 10,000 people and more than 100 ships, and the advantages are obviously on our side!" Lin Hongzhong served as the translator for Domingo:
"We must give full play to the number of people and the maneuverability of everyone, and take turns to harass Qing'ao Bay, making their fleet exhausted. The main fleets of Folang Ji and Wuyangtong Trading Hall will be hidden in the most favorable position. Once the other party reveals a flaw, they will immediately come out and fight the Jiangnan fleet to the main battle!"
Domingo pointed to the Portuguese Navy map on the wall and said something.
Lin Hongzhong translated: "Of course, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, virtually, and virtually, and the soldiers are inconsistent. So if the time is right, we can also change the feint to the main attack - land from a favorable position and occupy Qing'ao Bay with superior forces. Once the Jiangnan fleet loses this painstakingly managed advance base, they can only withdraw their troops!"
"Damn it, the soldiers are still invisible..." The sea master muttered in a low voice: "Stop grabbing flesh on the red-haired grimace, they know nothing about military tactics."
Lin Hongzhong frowned and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, we may have been inconsistent with each other in the past, and we may have started a war. But since we have come together because of our common enemies, we must be united and united to the outside world. Otherwise, in the southeast of tomorrow, there will be no place for us to stand at the foot of ours!"
The sea lords finally calmed down.
Domingo continued: "In short, if you annihilate the main force of the Jiangnan fleet or capture Qing'ao Bay, if you achieve one of these two goals, victory belongs to us..."
~~
Qing'ao Bay, combat room.
"The Linfeng Fleet and the Ryukyu Fleet are responsible for dealing with the pirate fleet, and the Chen Huaixiu Fleet is responsible for supporting. Just drive the enemy away and do not stay away from the base. However, once you bite a group, the three fleets will quickly surround and eat it hard so that they will not dare to harass them easily anymore." Wang Rulong's arrangement here came to an end:
"Remember, we have home advantage, the Portuguese are anxious, not us. We must keep patience and deal with them. Their main fleet will definitely not be able to hold back and come to seek a decisive battle. At this time, the coast guard fleet can choose the most favorable conditions to fight them. In short, soldiers are against soldiers, generals are against generals! You only need to keep a close eye on your goals, and don't worry about the rest, you can't worry about this vast sea!"
"I understand." Everyone responded in unison.
After Wang Rulong was finished, Zhao Hao made the final summary: "After you go back, you should do ideological work to your subordinates in this way. It is true that our coast guard troops are Portuguese students, but because of this, we don't have to worry about the Portuguese, because we are familiar with their tactics and their warships - everyone has heard Professor Ping explain, the orders of the King of Portugal to his expeditionary fleet?"
The generals nodded together, and Zhao Hao said to a combat adviser: "You repeat it to the few who you have never heard of."
"Yes!" The staff officer whispered loudly: "When encountering any enemy ships, you should avoid getting too close to them as much as possible. Just use cannons to force them to surrender - so that war can proceed under safer conditions and may also reduce the loss of personnel in your fleet."
"Yes, although the Portuguese kings stipulated that it was because the country had fewer people and could not afford to lose. However, by accident, their fleets were increasingly adapting to the new tactic of long-range bombardment, and achieved brilliant results with this - the Portuguese sailing ships had cancelled the metal corners, which means that they had fully believed in long-range bombardment and gave up the sign of hand-to-hand combat on the side."
"Although we also use the same tactics." He smiled confidently: "But unfortunately, our guns have a longer range and are more accurate in shooting. Moreover, their old-fashioned Carac sailboats, with the forecastle and stern towers too high, are very easy to attract wind, making the ship difficult to control when facing the wind, and are far less flexible and fast than our warships. So in this kite flying competition, they must be the first one to hold on!"
This is actually not only for ordinary officers and soldiers, but also for Lin Feng, Zheng Feng and other friendly soldiers present, so that they can always maintain confidence in victory and not waver.
~~
Two days later, the coastal gangsters came to report that the Portuguese fleet had already sailed to the Huilai sea, less than a day away from Nan'ao Island.
Warships cannot wait for the enemy in the harbor, especially sailing warships without autonomous power. Once they are blocked in the harbor and the wind direction is wrong, they are living targets without any power to fight back.
Therefore, the commanders led their respective fleets and sailed away from Qing'ao Bay in order.
Because the Zhenwu-Zheng was going to fight as the main force in this battle, facing unpredictable dangers, Mr. Zhao, who had originally planned to go to sea with the ship, was unanimously decided to stay at the base and not allow him to take risks.
Of course, it is also necessary for Zhao Hao to stay at the base. It is difficult for each fleet to communicate with each other at sea, so we should try to send Clippers back to the port for a meeting every day, communicate with each other, and adjust the strategy in time. Although Jinke, who is left behind, is enough to be competent for the centralized dispatch work, he still needs to make some major decisions.
Zhao Hao could only force a smile to send them away from the dock, wishing them a safe and triumphant success.
Before Lin Feng set out, he hugged his neck and kissed him with a hint of shame. Seeing that she was about to go to the battlefield, Mr. Zhao pushed her away without disgust this time.
Lin Feng looked at Chen Huaixiu provocatively, meaning that if you have the ability, do you have the same sip?
Chen Huaixiu smiled faintly and said, "How old is, you are still so naughty."
As he said that, he handed his scented scent to Zhao Hao, with a strand of black hairs she hugged. You can understand that this is a part of yourself before going to the battle, just in case. You can also associate it with the "love silk scented scented scent".
Then he whispered in his ear: "Wait for me to come back."
This is the way for adults to communicate their feelings. She glanced at Lin Feng with a smile, turned around and left gracefully.
Lin Feng wanted to force out his sword, and even wanted to cut off his hair, but Zhao Hao stopped him and said, "Be serious, this is going to fight!"
"Oh, master." She then put away her sword and asked in a low voice: "What are the rewards for winning?"
"Of course there is a lot of rewards." Zhao Hao smiled and touched her head and said, "Go, when the triumphant is over, can't help you?"
"Well, the master is the best!" Lin Feng immediately got excited and set off with great enthusiasm!
However, in order not to implicate the elder brother, her fleet was replaced with the Sun and Moon Flag of the Jiangnan Group, and did not hang her Fire Phoenix Flag.
At dusk, all the ships left and Qing'ao Bay became empty.
Zhao Hao and Jin Ke stood on the quiet pier. Looking at the blood-red sea surface under the setting sun, Mr. Zhao murmured: "After tonight, you will start bleeding..."
"Yes." Jin Ke nodded with a serious expression: "This battle must be crueler than before."
As he said that, he looked back at the still lively base - in addition to ten thousand civilians, there were two security teams of Macron and the Second Marine Team left behind.
It is not difficult to judge that in the next few days, this place will also be stained with blood...
Chapter completed!
