926 Battle of Jutland (1)
The North Atlantic Fleet was divided into four different fleets, namely Task Force 1 to Task Force 4. The special task force www.biquge.info the Tang Navy is also the normal way for the Tang Navy to organize fleets in wartime, while the large fleet is more of a daily management and training title.
The first three task forces are all typical aircraft carrier battle group formations, which are not very large, basically one aircraft carrier, two cruisers, three destroyers, two frigates and two submarines (supply ships are not counted). Depending on the actual situation, there may be an increase or decrease in the number of escort ships. But basically, it is a marshalling mode of more than six ships and less than ten ships.
The Fourth Task Force was huge, a typical form of naval formation of the previous generation, with 10 battleships at the core, and 8 heavy cruisers on the rest, plus 5 destroyers, 4 frigates, and 4 submarines. However, Task Force 4 could easily be identified by the EU Navy as the main force of the real Datang Navy. But in fact, the Datang Navy is very clear that the real combat capability of ten battleships is not as powerful as several destroyers and frigates combined.
However, the Europeans still focused their eyes on this fleet, watching its every move, and carefully weighing whether to fight a decisive battle with the Tang Navy or avoid it.
The actions of the Tang Navy were also very obvious, and the Fourth Task Force was stationed in the Strait of Chenskagrak, holding the narrow sea between Jutland and Scandinavia, in order to prevent the German Navy from breaking through the strait and joining the fleet of the British Royal Navy.
Above the North Sea, the Royal Navy's main fleet is in seclusion. Nelson, the god of the Royal Navy, was on top of the British flagship, the battleship Lion.
Nelson grabbed a piece of information, frowned, and said: "The Tang people are a little overconfident in themselves, placing the main fleet directly on the Skagerrak Strait is equivalent to a live target, we know where they are, and the Germans know that they are there, even if there are more than thirty warships there, what's the use?" As long as our Royal Navy's main fleet and the German fleet are flanked in front and back, the Tang people will suffer an epic defeat. ”
The Royal Navy staff officer beside him, Rear Admiral Gore, said: "But the aircraft carriers of the Tang people are still a force to be reckoned with, in the North Sea they have two aircraft carriers cruising, although the scale is not very large, but the carrier-based aircraft is a flexible enough combat force, once the war breaks out, then there must be a large number of carrier-based aircraft into the battlefield, which may be the Tang people think that it is enough to turn the tide of the war." ”
Nelson nodded: "What you said makes sense, the Tang people are superstitious about the power of aircraft carriers, and have gradually used aircraft carriers as the core of their fleet. However, the aircraft carrier itself is extremely fragile, and in the face of the battleship, it can only be sunk. Maybe the technical level of the Tang Navy is higher, but they are facing an enemy several times their size, the great Royal Navy. ”
Nelson was uncharacteristically excited today, and his face was flushed with red light when he said this. He is almost sixty years old, and it is probably the last time he can command the fleet in person, and it is this last naval battle that allows him to catch up with this peerless epic battle, and his name will be forever engraved in the history of the navy, and he will become the person that everyone in future generations looks up to.
Nelson thinks that the Tang people are overconfident, and the essence is that he also has great self-confidence. The lineup of the Royal Navy fleet led by him can no longer be described simply as luxurious. The main ships of the Royal Navy's amazing fleet are composed of 18 battleships and 8 light aircraft carriers, and the rest of the escort ships are scattered and scattered with more than 30 ships, which means that the Royal Navy's decisive grand fleet has more than 50 ships.
In Nelson's opinion, it was an extremely stupid decision for the Don Army to hold the strait, because the British and German navies could make a joint sortie. In addition to the Royal Navy, the decisive battle fleet of the German Navy was no less to be reckoned with. Seven battleships and a large number of heavy cruiser formations, in total, there were also more than thirty ships.
Nelson also has a killer feature, that is, the wolves underwater, the Royal Navy and the German Navy have a total of about 60 small submarines ready to launch a sneak attack on the Tang Navy in this water, Britain and Germany have assembled a huge decisive battle fleet of more than 100 ships, the purpose is to complete the battle, completely destroy the North Atlantic Fleet of the Tang Navy, and seize sea supremacy.
Of course, the Europeans also have to face a reality, that is, even if they destroy the North Atlantic Fleet of the Datang Navy, then they will also face the fleets of other Datang Navy, which is too large. But at least for now, the European Navy can use a wonderful victory to show all Europeans that they can also win the war, and the final victory of the war is not a pipe dream.
So what do the Dons think?
Admiral Lin Huansheng was the commander-in-chief of the decisive operation, and at this moment he was in the night sky of the strait, enjoying the unique scenery here - the luminous insects. In autumn and winter, the sea water here will be filled with a wonderful creature, due to the presence of a lipid-like substance in the body, it will emit a faint pink light, a large area of night light rushed in the ocean, turning the sea water under the night sky into a pink sea, intersecting with the starlight, reflecting the ships of the Tang Navy, it seems to reveal a wonderful warmth in the cold.
But not all of them had the leisure to watch the scenery like a commander, and most of them were doing their duty, because every one of them knew that a great war was about to break out.
Lin Huansheng smiled, compared to Nelson's fanaticism, Lin Huansheng, who was younger, was surprisingly calm. From the very beginning, this decisive battle at sea was a game set up by him, a game that led the Royal Navy and the German Navy out of the hole and threw themselves into the net.
The burden on the Navy's shoulders is not small, and the General Staff Headquarters requires the Navy to thwart the EU Navy as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the supply routes. And Lin Huansheng didn't have time to destroy his enemies one by one, so he could only let his enemies come to him.
The huge fleet of the Royal Navy and the huge fleet of the German Navy, Lin Huansheng knew it all in his chest. Although it is not easy to find traces of the enemy on the sea, Datang still has a large number of patrol aircraft, submarines, and reconnaissance satellites. The exact location of the Royal Fleet, he already knew. But Lin Huansheng can't solve one end first and then take care of the other, he needs to do it as soon as possible, and when his fleet is against the British, it is likely that the Germans will get a new opportunity.
It's a bit unwise to have enemies side by side. But the Navy has never been afraid, and as Nelson said, Lin Huansheng is very confident.
Then, the following is more reasonable than one to compare whose self-confidence. (To be continued.) )
