Chapter 656 Final preparations

When the Scharnhorst sailed into Kaohsiung Port, he was shocked by what he saw. Almost all the warships of the Chinese Navy were concentrated here. The 15 kilometers outside the Kaohsiung Military Port was limited to a military control zone. In the port area

Various fences were even erected to block the view. The nine dreadnoughts of the Chinese Navy were divided into two groups and moored at No. 1 and

No. 2 Anchorage, while the Ninghai-class battleship and armored cruisers are anchored at No. 3 Anchorage, and other light cruisers and lightning strike ships are deployed on the periphery and undertake patrol tasks. In an inconspicuous place deep in the port, Count Spee is vaguely

I also saw some submarines parked quietly. Behind these submarines, there should be a cave.

On the other side of the port, Count Spey also discovered some large-tonnage civilian ships. A group of people were busy on them. Cranes placed huge wooden fake turrets and chimneys on the hulls. Some of them had been painted.

It is painted in the Victorian style paint usually used by the Chinese Navy. It has everything a battleship should have, fake turrets, fake chimneys, fake command towers and fake rangefinders...

Mine protection nets have been installed around each warship, and several minefields have been deployed outside the military port. Even in the Chinese mainland, the Chinese Navy has not lowered its vigilance. All protective measures are better than those at the forward base in the Philippines. From

Judging from the current situation, all the capital ships of the Chinese Navy are already in optimal condition. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this fleet, which is powerful in the Far East, is about to launch a large-scale operation.

Count Spee was only half-guessed. The Chinese navy was about to launch a big operation, but it was not preparation. It had already started. A supply fleet composed of supply ships and a transport ship carrying supplies had already left China.

Coastal ports are gathering towards Taiwan. Several submarine forces have entered the Java Sea to conduct reconnaissance operations against the Russian Navy. In two days, this fleet will lead a large number of supply ships and transport ships to enter Java again through the Makassar Strait.

ocean!

At the beginning of the mission, all China's maritime forces will be divided into three groups. The main force of the Chinese fleet will sweep along the coast of Java Island and destroy all ports that Russia and the Netherlands can use. The second group is the transport fleet responsible for feints. They will

Capture a port under cover of a squadron and then pretend

Start building the forward base. The third group is the supply fleet that provides logistical support for the Chinese Navy. They will be responsible for replenishing ammunition, fuel and daily necessities for the fleet at any time. In the initial stage, they will cruise in the relatively safe Makassar Strait, and conduct operations as needed.

Enter the Java Sea for supplies at any time.

After clearing out other ports except Batavia Port, the Chinese fleet will decide the next step according to the situation. If Makanov can't help it and escapes from his old nest of Batavia Port, then of course there will be no problem.

It is said that everyone will have a big fight. But if Makanov continues to stay in Batavia Port, the Chinese fleet will go to Batavia

Asia will launch a feint attack. The main fleet will naturally carry out bombardment missions in the port area. At the same time, the minelayers in the Chinese Navy will also go to Lassen, Bantu, Pekalongan and other port areas to lay mines and completely seal these ports.

.And finally laid disruptive minefields outside the Batavia Port, making a gesture of completely sealing off the Batavia Port.

At the same time, after the transport fleet, with the cooperation of the Marine Corps, captures Machen, it will begin to build a forward base. Of course, this is a feint, and it must be a feint that the Russians can know. At the right time,

The Chinese navy responsible for the feint attack on Batavia will choose to withdraw.

If Markanov still does not plan to move, then the base in Machen will be changed from feint to formal construction. If Markanov chooses to follow the Chinese fleet and prepare to launch an attack while the Chinese fleet is weak, then the Chinese navy

The battle plan will enter the third step.

In this plan, the Chinese Navy's long-prepared "camouflage fleet" will make its debut. These civilian ships, filled with fake turrets, fake chimneys and other fake goods, will temporarily leave behind the pre-dreadnought fleet in the eyes of the Russians and leave first.

As for whether it will be seen through, I can only say that if the distance between the two sides is more than 10 nautical miles, basically the warship can only judge

A rough ship type and judging the direction and size based on the smoke column (the smoke emission of a big ship must be large, and the smoke emission of a small ship must be small.) It is impossible to tell that the difference between the two battleships is more than 20 meters. Historically, the displacement of the battleship Bismarck and Prinz Eugen was different.

1 times, didn’t the British still admit their mistake? As for approaching for close reconnaissance, it is estimated that no Russian warship has the courage?

At the same time, the nine dreadnoughts of the Chinese fleet will adjust their course at night, move towards the side and rear of the Russian fleet, and outflank Makanov's main fleet from behind after the Russian fast fleet fights with the Chinese pre-dreadnought fleet. The key to this step is

It depends on two points. One is that the Russians decided

Send a fast fleet to attack the Chinese Navy. Another point is that the main force of the Chinese fleet can quickly outflank it from behind. As long as it can reach the side of the Russian fleet and is not discovered at the first time, then the entire battle situation can be finalized, and the rest

It depends on whether the brothers are strong enough!

After the final plan was finalized, the top brass of the Chinese fleet still needed a reason that was enough to convince the Russians. This reason was why the Chinese navy gave up the attack on Batavia. The Chinese navy was not enough to defeat Batavia protected by the Russian-Dutch combined fleet.

Port of Davia. The dense minefields outside the port, the 12-inch fortress guns in the port, and as many as 16 various capital ships are enough to protect the

This proves the safety of the port at sea. The Chinese navy can only cause some damage at most. But similarly, the Russian and Dutch fleet in the port cannot deal a fatal blow to the Chinese fleet in the outer sea. The most likely result is a burst of bombardment between the two sides.

, the Chinese fleet warships received a few shells, or lost several auxiliary warships, while the Russians had some port facilities destroyed.

Under what circumstances will the Russians chase them out? They will only chase them out when they think they can take advantage. Under what circumstances they can take advantage, for example, if the strength of the Chinese fleet on the opposite side is damaged, but under normal circumstances attacking the port will not

As a result, the fleet's combat power will be greatly damaged. The Chinese Navy will not be stupid enough to run into the effective range of the shore artillery. Anyway, the Chinese Navy is also shooting roughly. If it can throw the shells into the port area, it is a victory! So the only way to use your brain is underwater.

Any underwater damage to a battleship will be the most fatal at any time. And the Russians have also deployed a large number of mines in the open sea. So when necessary, the Chinese Navy needs to let the Russians know that their battleships have "hit a mine"!

Of course, this can't be a real mine. If it is loaded with a round, even if it only has more than 100 kg of explosives,

Mines, it is estimated that a Dreadnought will kneel down directly. Even if the Dreadnought King in the first battle is as powerful as Byrne, after being hit by a Russian mine, wouldn't it be close to thousands of tons of water? So the Chinese Navy needs to let one of them

One or two quasi-dauntless ships can make the "appearance" of being bombed by mines, thus making their retreat a matter of course!

If two quasi-dreadnoughts are damaged in battle, what will the Chinese Navy do? In this case, the Chinese Navy's paper combat power is definitely weaker than the Russian Pacific Fleet! In this way, the Russians can concentrate 10 dreadnoughts and 2 quasi-dreadnoughts

Fearless against 9 Chinese Navy dreadnoughts and 1 quasi-dreadnought

, among which the two Longxu-class battlecruisers of the Chinese Navy are not very suitable for the battle line! And the Russians also have an advantage in armored cruisers! So in this case, the Russians will not give up this golden opportunity!

Faced with the temptation to defeat the Chinese Navy, they will definitely attack!

For this reason, the Chinese Navy needs to do enough scenes, such as injecting water on one side of the hull to tilt the hull, lighting and pyrotechnics, etc., and black smoke and blood on the hull! Well. For this purpose, the Chinese Navy also specially

A similar experiment was done in a port somewhere in order to make the scene more realistic. "We have to make it more realistic than real!" This was Xu Jie's instructions to the people responsible for "filming"!

Then the rest of the scene is simple. The Dreadnought fleet evacuated to replenish ammunition because of its huge ammunition consumption, while the former Dreadnought fleet sailed slowly behind with the injured battleship. What a logical reason is this? Of course, the Russians can do it too

Understood as the main fleet in order to avoid

Being dragged down by the slow speed of the pre-dreadnought fleet, they chose to evacuate. After all, if they cannot escape when their combat power is inferior, it means defeat. Anyway, no matter what reasons the Russians use to convince themselves, as long as they can get out, the Chinese fleet will be completed.

The last link of this shocking plan!

Of course, in order to ensure the reconnaissance force, the Chinese Navy has also decided to use all submarine forces. Recently, the submarine force can not break the engagement. But it must ensure the tracking of the Russian fleet. Although these little things can only sail under the water at a speed of less than 8 knots, they can

The speed on the water can still reach about 20 knots, and it is very small and can hardly be seen from a long distance. Covert tracking and other things are also very suitable for these little guys.

"Boss, you are really a natural conspirator." After the plan was finalized, Yang Yonglin walked up to Xu Jie and whispered in his ear. Xu Jie was also quite proud of the plan. No, it might be too early to say proud. When will it be done?

It is not too late to be proud after the Russian fleet has been beaten to pieces.

At the same time, Makanov in Batavia Port was also considering the future war situation. He was now 100% sure that the Chinese Republic had learned that the Russians had obtained two brand-new dreadnoughts from France, and once

With the battleships in place, the Russian fleet will have the advantage. But the Chinese navy is indifferent? This is very abnormal, or is this other

Is there some conspiracy in it? If Markanov leads the Chinese fleet, then he will definitely take action, although the specific method is not known. But Markanov is not in a hurry now, time is on the side of Russia and the Netherlands

On the other hand, what Makanov needs now is to wait and see what happens! See what measures Huaxia will take so that he can take advantage of them!
