  The purpose of the war has never been to fight one lose-lose, otherwise the French would be willing to trade 2 Gupa and 6 Dandong in exchange for the heavy damage of the Spey fleet. Especially this time the earl is planning a sneak attack. The art of sneak attack is to take advantage of the other party's unpreparedness to come up with a brick, and then slip away before the other party responds. Just like the flying dragon in a famous rts game, if you hit it head-on, the machine gunners can do what you don't want, so the essence lies in mobility and rejection.

Hunia Bay is relatively large, and the French fleet is likely to be deployed separately. After all, the French also have the advantage of the number of warships. When the German fleet opens fire, his position will be exposed, so he needs to leave enough back to deal with sudden adversities. Out of the French battleship! After all, there is no radar in this era, and night vision basically relies on lights and eyes. The combat distance will not be too far. You can sneak attack on the French. After you open the gun to reveal your position, another French fleet can also attack you. Count Spey did not bring a second-class capital ship when he came out. Therefore, in order to ensure that he would fight back when he was hit. Opportunity, he needs to keep some back players.

  The earl vaguely remembered that this night battle regulation was specifically requested by the prince. At that time, he had insisted that the battleships participating in the night battle must have a back hand. This made the other commanders at the time very puzzled, and the prince could not explain the specific reason. Later, there was no way, in order to take care of the face of Crown Prince Ruprecht, this rule was written in, but whether to comply with it depends on the meaning of the battlefield commander.

  Now, Earl Spey thought about the prince's brilliant record and the situation he was facing, so he still hesitated to accept this regulation.

   "I think the Prinz Eugen can temporarily stop firing and use it as a warning. Then we can take turns firing and taking turns on guard among the four warships." Schultz thought for a while and said.

  "This idea is very good. For destroyers, it is best to use flares and use searchlights as little as possible, but when you find that there is an opponent's warship nearby, you can use searchlights to find out as soon as possible." Luknar added.

  That’s it. After everyone’s glance at me, the German Navy’s first night battle plan was released.

  When making a plan, consider the issues in detail, and the planning steps should be as simple as possible. This is a good plan. The former does not need to be explained. Everyone understands that, as for the latter, the more complicated the steps and the greater the difficulty of execution, the greater the variables, and the least favorite thing on the battlefield is the variable! And the entire plan should be executed as short as possible. Don't delay 10 minutes for things that can be completed in 5 minutes, especially this time, you are playing the black tiger, regardless of whether you can get it. Let's go after one round! Even if you want to fight, you have to change the place!

  Earl Spey fully implemented this principle in the night battle tonight. At 11 o'clock in the evening, Spey's fleet secretly arrived in Hunia Bay. According to the sea chart provided by the Turks, they berthed directly near a seashore. The water depth here is very deep, but the underwater reefs are densely covered, so it is not suitable for submarine penetration, but it can accommodate large warships.

  The French did not expect that the German main battleship would visit at night. Their alert destroyers are more defensive submarines, so they are deployed closer to the fleet berth. And because the main fleet was sneak attacked and the anti-submarine and mine-sweeping force was urgently needed, some destroyers were transferred. As a result, the number of destroyers used for alert that night was even smaller.

   "We didn't see any French security warships before launching the attack. There may be some at the berth, but none of them appeared ten kilometers away from the berth." Schultz wrote in the battle report after the war. Count Lucner's answer was even more straightforward: "What? The French are on alert? Why don't I know? Don't they sleep at night?" The playful words revealed a mockery of France.

The fleet entered the standby position, but did not immediately launch an offensive. Two destroyers were sent out to perform an approach reconnaissance again. This process was not possible, but when the Earl led the fleet into the Gulf of Neah, Suddenly discovered that this port is too quiet! Even the transport ship and the patrol ship have not seen it. This is not a trap, right? Or else, the French ran away first? Therefore, Earl Spey decided to send two destroyers to test the water first, who felt something was wrong. ,

The two destroyers v35 and s28 sneaked in under the cover of night. Under the light of the lighthouse and searchlights on the shore, the two destroyers could not distinguish the specific model and number of each other's warships in the distance, but they walked on the periphery. After a lap, I also had a general understanding.

"The French fleet is deployed in two places, part of which is deployed in a temporary anchorage outside the port~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There must be another fleet in the port, but because of the shelter of the breakwater, we cannot see the inside. The situation. The French began to shrink their anchorages, and it seems that large barriers and lightning nets were deployed where the warships were anchored. Thank God, this time, we attacked with naval guns instead of torpedoes. They have no layout. Used it.” The captain of the destroyer V35 wrote in the combat log.

Naturally, the telegram he sent to the earl could not be so much. The content was simple and capable: "The enemy is divided into two places, one is outside, there are no nails around, and the other has obstacles." However, the captains of the two destroyers did not expect it. What's more, the situation of this investigation is not completely accurate. Not only is it impossible to determine the size of the French fleet, but more importantly, they missed some key points. And in this way, some variables will appear in the subsequent battle!

   "Everyone, repeat the battle plan again, ten minutes later, we will set off! Attack the French fleet stationed outside the port!" After receiving the telegram, the Earl took a deep breath and calmed down his nervousness. Then ordered. At this time, he could feel his brain in an unprecedented state of excitement, a long-lost excitement before the battle made him very satisfied!

  "This is the real feeling of war. The previous exercises were simply children's play. I beat you ten years ago. This time, I'll give you a tougher one!" The count said in his heart. "Ten years ago, in Africa, you lost a mess, so what is your skill now? I am looking forward to it!"
