Chapter 477: Too sinister

"After research and development, a lucky ship will lead five Cangshan ships to form a fleet to carry out missions together. If you encounter sporadic enemy ships, the fleet will step forward to intercept them and send people to escort them to Weihai Guard. If you encounter many enemy ships, you will immediately send the ship to contact the nearby fleet, and then multiple fleets will go up and beat them up together. This is what the adults call the wolf pack tactics."

"Don't crowd all warships in the same fleet. We must expand the surveillance range as much as possible. When hearing guns and cannons, all the warships around us should go to support. According to the news we received, after controlling the Dengzhou Navy, the Tartars had already broken them apart and no longer used them in a concentrated manner. Therefore, we cannot launch a large-scale attack on the Dengzhou Navy, and we can only destroy them sporadically."

"The first stage of the battle is to intercept the Tartars' transport ships as much as possible, so that as little materials and personnel can enter Dengzhou City. The period for the mission is about fifteen days. The round trip time is about three days, and the battle cruise time is about twelve days. This time may be adjusted according to the battlefield situation at any time. Therefore, everyone needs to carry enough ammunition and supplies."

"The odd ship number will start on duty tonight. The even ship number will help build the Weihaiwei Naval Base. At the same time, all the even ship number warships must be prepared to attack and provide reinforcements at any time. There is news that the Tartars may force the North Korean naval forces to dispatch, adding resistance to us."

"Whether it is the Tartar boat or any other person's ship, as long as it does not obey our orders, they will be sunk! Or they will be captured! All the enemy ships and supplies captured will be escorted back to Weihaiwei. The Marine Corps' brothers will cooperate with you to do this."

After Zhou Zhengyu finished speaking, he waited for a while to let the people below digest it.

The initiation of this battle was actually quite hasty. After all, the Navy is not like the Army, and it is impossible to run away if it is pulled up. The logistics support, coordination and information exchange required by the Navy's operations cannot be as fast as the Army. At the same time, compared with the Army, the Hu Ben Navy has a long time to be truly mature.

Navy operations require a base to support it. Weihaiwei is still an unfinished naval base. It is hard to say whether it can support this battle. The naval base in Mawan is still too far away. Before the sword-tooth ship came out, the navy's main warship was still Cangshan boat, and it was impossible to fight too far away from the base. The original base of the Tatar Navy was under the control of the Tatars, and it was not realistic for the navy to take it down at once. Moreover, it was not in line with Zhang Zhun's intention to completely trap the Tatars to death.

After Zhou Zhengyu finished speaking, he said loudly: "Do you have any questions?"

Huang Shijun stood up and said with some confusion: "Two sirs, why don't we attack Jinshanwei directly? It is said that most of the enemy ships docked there to load people and supplies. If we blocked the port of the Tartars, wouldn't Dengzhou City be completely trapped? Also, from the chart, the location of the Imperial City Island is very important, why don't we capture the Imperial City Island immediately?"

Zhou Zhengyu nodded and said with a smile: "Your question is a good question!"

He looked around and said meaningfully: "Who can answer, why don't we attack Jinshanwei directly or Dengzhou City directly? Isn't this more convenient? Why should we intercept it on the sea?"

Mao Huihui thought for a moment, stood up, and said loudly: "I think this is fishing! If we directly attack Jinshanwei or Dengzhou City, the Tartars will immediately realize that they cannot stay in Dengzhou City and will inevitably evacuate quickly. If this is the case, we will encounter more Tartars in Liaodong in the future. However, if we just cut off the Tartars' transportation line, the Tartars will not feel pain for the time being."

After a slight pause, Mao Huihui said a little gloomy: "Since we can cut off the Tartars' transportation line, we can naturally let go. We can appropriately induce more Tartars to reach Dengzhou City according to the needs of the battle ahead. We do not occupy the Imperial City Island, which is to create an illusion for the Tartars. Our attacks are only sneak attacks and cannot completely cut off their transportation line. They can also persist in Dengzhou City. The more Tartars die in Dengzhou City, the fewer Tartars we will encounter in Liaodong in the future."

Yang Guohua nodded with a smile.

Zhou Zhengyu said loudly: "That's right! That's it! Our purpose is not to drive all the Tartars back into their old nests with one stick, because in that case, our future battle will be difficult. We must put the Tartars little by little in Dengzhou City, slowly torture them and destroy them. We must turn Dengzhou City into a bottomless pit and constantly devour the Tartars' vital power."

"So, our mission is not to completely stop the Tartars from moving south, but to control the number of Tartars going south. We cannot come too much at once, nor can we not come any one at once. If we come too much, we cannot eat. If we don't come any one, we will have no food. When the Tartars come, how many people come, and whoever come, we must control them. If we ask him to come, he can come. If we don't let him come, he can't come."

Huang Shijun reacted, gave a thumbs up in admiration, said nothing, and sat down.

He suddenly felt that the Tartars' urgent capture of Dengzhou City this time seemed like a masterpiece, but in fact they jumped into a bottomless pit. Dengzhou City was not Liaodong after all, and if the Tartars wanted to open up the situation here, they would inevitably invest a lot of troops. However, what supports Dengzhou City was a dangerous maritime transportation line. The Tartars' control over this maritime transportation line was obviously not very strong.

We can't let the Tartars come too much at once, and we can't let the Tartars not come at once. How many people come, and when they come, they are completely in the hands of the Hu Ben Navy. It's really sinister! Dengzhou City is a piece of fat meat after all, and it's afraid that the Tartars will give up at once. Are you willing to spit out the fat meat in their mouths easily?

However, the Hu Ben Army did not cut off the hope of the Tartars, so the Tartars could only try their best to maintain it. Such maintenance was based on the premise of paying a significant price. For the Tartars, neither their own population nor their own materials would be much. Once they were exhausted in Dengzhou City, the Tartars' overall strength would be greatly weakened.

I wonder if this battle mode was thought of by the Governor. It was really too sinister. If it were someone else, I would only think that with a click, I would completely cut off the Tartars' sea route and completely block the Tartars in Dengzhou City. In this way, all the Tartars in Dengzhou City will be dead. There should be thousands of Tartars in Dengzhou City now. If all these thousands of Tartars were eliminated, it would be an unprecedented victory and would definitely cause a sensation in the world.

But the governor was not right, but he wanted to let the Tartars come. The governor was obviously not satisfied with the thousands of Tartars in Dengzhou City, and he wanted to let the Tartars die a little more. The more Tartars came, the more they died. If the Tartars did not realize this and continued to send more troops to compete for Dengzhou City, I am afraid that many Tartars would not be enough to fill it in. The Enanguine White Banner and Zhengbai Banner should have more than 10,000 people. If more than 10,000 people were all filled in Dengzhou City, the Tartars would really cry without tears.

Too sinister.

It's really sinister.

Zhou Zhengyu glanced at everyone and asked loudly: "Do you have any other questions?"

All the officers looked at me, and I looked at you, shook their heads and said in unison: "No!"

Zhou Zhengyu nodded and said loudly: "Okay! All odd ships, try to get time to prepare for departure, and set off soon tomorrow morning!"

After the meeting, everyone went to prepare separately.

The Cangshan boat sailed so far that some equipment and facilities must be maintained in order to maintain the best combat state. At the same time, food and fresh water need to be replenished. Huang Shijun handed over the material replenishment work to Wang Chenglin, handed over the maintenance work of the above deck to Ling Si Shao, and himself was responsible for the maintenance of the following deck.

Weihaiwei was just occupied by the Hu Ben Army, and all the equipment and facilities were not yet perfect. There was no military camp, dock, warehouse, and even a decent trestle. However, Yang Guohua and others still tried their best to meet everyone's material needs. There was a local area in the freshwater, so there was no problem. Each ship of grain was a month's amount. Salted fish, pickles, rice, flour, sweet potatoes, corn... whatever you want. The biggest problem with grain is that dry food is not easy to preserve, the weather is too hot, and it is easy to break.

According to the estimates of the senior naval leaders, they may seize some of the food during the battle. The Tartars in Dengzhou City wanted to transport food from the rear. Therefore, there is no problem with the food. If it really doesn't work, they can even sail to the north of Laizhou Prefecture and seek support there.

The biggest problem is the maintenance and maintenance of ships. Once a ship is injured in a naval battle and wants to repair it, the Weihaiwei Naval Base will not be able to do so for the time being and must return to the Mawan Base to solve it. Of course, this is the recent situation. After a while, general damage should be repaired at the Weihaiwei Naval Base. Since the Navy wants to vigorously build the Weihaiwei Naval Base, it will naturally invest a lot of manpower and material resources here and build it as soon as possible.

One night, Huang Shijun, Wang Chenglin, Ling Si Shao and other three were busy back and forth, and they didn't sleep all night. In fact, it was not just them who didn't sleep. All the captains of the single number, including Mao Huihui, Zhang Xuehai and others, were busy. The entire Weihaiwei was busy. Countless torches burned until dawn.
