Chapter 911: Preparations for the Battle of Ceylon

On the large open deck of the flagship "Southeast Asia No. 1", there are many officers standing upright, the ranks of generals and schools, and the lowest ranks are all majors.

Before the war, the regular speeches boosted morale, and Yan Changwu summoned the fleet commanders and captains to the flagship for a meeting.

This is the waters southwest of Ceylon. The reconnaissance boats of the two sides are constantly coming and going, and small naval battles have broken out.

According to the military situation, Hong Maofan has assembled nearly forty battleships and wants to fight against our army, and our army also has 50 battleships, which is not an absolute advantage, it has to fight.

Any situation can happen in battle. It is not uncommon for an 80-year-old mother to stretch her child. For battle, Yan Changwu has always prepared for battle with a pious attitude, and strives to be the best, so encouragement is essential. Whenever possible, the officers convened a meeting, and the leaflets of the declaration of war were distributed to the ships.

I only heard Yan Changwu wave his fist loudly and said: "Always be prepared! A **** soldier should be "always ready", born for war, prepared for war, happy after hearing the war, dancing after hearing the war, dare to be the first in the world, forever Strive for the first place, go forward courageously, endlessly!

On the battlefield, we must fight hard to win. We have established a country. I am the founder of the country. You are the founding soldiers. You cannot stay where you are. You must strive to fight for more land under the sun for future generations. We are not now Fight, when will you stay! ..."

His speech blew across the deck like a gust of wind, igniting a raging fire in the eyes of the officers. The officers who had taught the leaders were fighting spirits and returned to their warships. They also summoned their subordinates and conveyed the leaders' instructions.

It seemed to pour magical power into the bodies of all the commanders and fighters, making the officers and soldiers like chicken blood.

"always be ready!"

"Compete for more land under the sun!"

"Fight for the leader!"

"When you encounter an enemy, you must fight!"

...

The oath shouted loudly across the sky, waiting for the red hair to be beaten down and completely driven out of this sea!

On the second day of the Great War, two hostile battleships of the Chinese and Hong Maofan were formed in the waters southwest of Ceylon.

Both sides were full of confidence. The Chinese believed that they were in a favorable position and had the upper hand, and they were finally able to fight the enemy with the upper hand, and the wind was good enough to prevent the lower gun deck from being unable to open.

On the other hand, Hong Maofan believes that he is in a state of being able to fight and retreat, and if he can't beat him, he can grease the soles of his feet and escape.

The Southeast Fleet has 18 "Southeast Asia-class" battleships and 32 "South China Sea-class" battleships, starting with "Southeast Asia No. 5", which is the seat of the deputy commander of the fleet, Lieutenant General Cheng Yu, and "Southeast Asia No. 1" as the flagship of the Chinese military. With "Southeast Asia II" as the flagship of the rear army, it is the ship of the commander of the fleet, General Hong Xi.

This class of battleship has been optimized on the basis of the "South China Sea class" battleship, and is larger than the "South China Sea class" battleship, but its fast and light driving conditions are surprising.

Its streamlined shape is beautiful, the bow is not only light and tall, but also has a large space, strong ocean-going capacity, and looks elegant and noble. The sails are finely cut, orderly, flat and crisp, so as to ensure that it is exceptionally stable when traveling, and its briskness A battleship surpassing the red hair fan!

A good ship must have a good sailor, and the operators on the "Southeast Asia-class" battleship are highly skilled, and the battleship makes the battleship alive, round and smooth, so that the red sailors are very envious!

In contrast, Hong Maofan’s battleship has adopted the Chinese design concept, and it is also a double-deck with a streamlined hull (previously used a Galen ship, with a larger **** and RU room), but it has not been optimized and has a variety of designs. , Especially the decoration of the hull of the ship, the navies of all countries like to install ghosts, spirits, and the like.

The superiors demanded it to be used, thinking that it could show power, but the officers and soldiers of the Hong Maofan generally regarded it as a cumbersome and slowing down. Therefore, some warships removed those decorations as soon as they left the port.

The two fleets have been approaching slowly since 6 o'clock in the morning. The first is Cheng Yu's ship. This guy is a blind, severed, and lame half man. Does the Navy still use such a person?

But the facts have proved that the leaders used him very right, and there was no wrong person. Cheng Yu has a strong body and a strong body. He has a long history of battles and rich experience. He has always been a pioneer in battle, sharp attack, and remarkable record. He has become a legend in the Chinese military!

On the flagship, listening to the young sergeant Liu Guoxuan on the masthead yelling: "Attention deck, red hair is all the way!"

Liu Guoxuan!

Liu Guoxuan (1629 -), a native of Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, was a native of Zhangzhou, Fujian. After the Qing army entered the customs, the war spread to Liu Guoxuan's hometown. The villagers formed a village to protect themselves. Liu Guoxuan once offered ambushes and personally commanded the villagers to destroy the enemy of the people, and slightly appraised his talent as a general. He was only 15 years old at this time.

Later, he fell under Zheng Chenggong, and later participated in the battle of Zheng Chenggong's siege of Nanjing in 1659 (the 13th year of Yongli and the 16th year of Shunzhi), and the battle of Zheng Chenggong to recover Taiwan in 1661 (the 15th year of Yongli and the 18th year of Shunzhi). In 1681 (December of the thirty-fifth year of Yongli), the town was sealed off. [3] In 1683 (the 37th year of Yongli and the 22nd year of Kangxi), he served as commander-in-chief in the Battle of Penghu, but was defeated by Shi Lang. In August of the same year, after Liu Guoxuan persuaded Zheng Keyuan and Qun Lao, he immediately ordered the revision of the table to be submitted to the Qing Dynasty.

Now that the Tatars have disappeared from the earth, Liu Guoxuan finally went to the southeastern country and entered the military academy.

Gold will shine. He is very young. Because of his outstanding performance in the military academy, he has become a non-commissioned officer and participated in this battle. (Military students who have not graduated cannot serve as lieutenants)

Hearing what he said, Yan Changwu nodded and quickly raised his binoculars to search. He saw the seventy-four-gun British battleship "Lion" walking in the forefront of the Hong Maofan fleet. It should be Hong Maofan's forward flagship.

The British battleship is the largest among the Red Hairpin fleets. Fortunately, the fleet has 76 guns, enough to have a giant dialogue with it, and everyone will have a good time!

Looking through the telescope, the wind turned, and the British ships also changed their directions. Their top sails were hung up and they were in place. The agility of their sails was staggering. The quality of the British was quite high. After all, they had done the southeast. The teacher of the army, like Mr. David next to Yan Changwu, who taught the leader's navigation skills hand in hand, some of the early Southeast Army naval officers met Mr. David and called him a teacher!

Yan Changwu sighed slightly~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I understand that it will be a fierce battle for a while, and I don't know how many people will die in the battle.

As the sun climbs higher and higher, the heat it emits makes the wind direction more uncertain, and can even mess up everything.

For example, the Southeast Army wants to gain the upper hand, what if it becomes a disadvantage?

The advantage of the downwind is that it can cut sails, but it is not a refreshing thing for the Southeast Army, who wants to fist and fight.

Yan Changwu looked at all the sailing gear on the ship, and there was no doubt that everything was ready, just waiting for a big kill.

Seeing that Yan Changwu was distraught, his teacher Mr. David said: "Although the wind direction is changeable, everything is normal!"

"it is good!"

Yan Changwu ordered the ship to unfold more sails to gain the upper hand and speed up. Now we have the upper hand. Early fighting is better than late fighting. Let's talk about it after we fight!
