Chapter 350: Execution at Sea 1

Twelve warships formed a long column that silently sailed to the south waters under the leadership of the flagship unicorn.

The fleet was not just sailing, but the roar sounded one after another. This was the artillery on the ship was conducting shooting training.

In order to simulate the battlefield environment to the greatest extent, these two days have been carried out with real bombs, and the entire fleet has sailed in the shroud of smoke.

The fleet commander Tirbitz stood at the unicorn's hull. He leaned against the railing, holding a cigarette, and staring at the sea in front of him without saying a word.

According to the trial of the pirate captives, there were more than 60 ships in the pirates entangled in the West Port, but they would send at least 20 materials that were traded.

There are nearly 40 warships left, can the fleet led by myself cope with it?

This time, Alida's military power was for the first time to show the world outside the Northwest Gulf, and the partner was the army of the kingdom government. If it was messed up, wouldn't it want to fall into the name of Lord Graman?

Once failed, there will be many serious consequences.

External, other parts of the kingdom disdain the Northwest Bay, which will exacerbate this contempt if failed.

This is nothing. Anyway, the stereotyped impression is not a day or two, mainly due to the trouble of the internal internal Northwest Bay -the failure will cause a significant blow to the prestige between the Lord Glaman's leaders. The status that it is easy to obtain may be lost and lost.

Although he is a soldier, Terbitz does not know nothing about the current political situation in Northwest.

The lords are preparing an organization called the Tariff League. Since they are alliances, there must be a boss, or the de facto leader. Although this alliance was proposed by Alda, the seat of this leading person may not be Alida's turn, and every powerful territory (or self -considers of being strong) is about to move.

Alida urgently needs to improve his political prestige again, and military victory is often the most direct.

He looked at the sailors who were intensely practicing the firing steps on the deck, and thought of the words of the navy commander Austin often used to encourage his subordinates.

"We are the most powerful and efficient killing machine in this era!"

Equipped with a powerful weapon, which is comparable to the legendary artifacts. The tissue and clear division of labor and soldiers are trained day after day to master and mastered each step of the "artifact". Once they encounter enemies, they can be able to Pour the fire on the opposite side step by step.

Good food guarantees their strong physique, strict discipline gives them a tough soul, and sufficient army has maintained their high morale, and excellent pension eliminates their worries.

Which other troops in the world can do better?

"We are the strongest!"

Tirbitz has repeatedly meditated this sentence in his heart.

"Tirbitz commander!"

A slightly immature shouting interrupted his thoughts.

Tirbitz turned around, looked down, and saw young officer alternate students.

"Mr. Allen!"

Tirbitz's face is called the other party with a smile.

"Report commander, today's line tactical shooting training has been completed!"

The officer alternate Ellen reported loudly to the fleet commander in a serious tone.

Although the old ships such as the South Fang needed to stay in Fran Port because they needed to be repaired, the officers on the ship's officers on the ship were also arranged to go with the south fleet. In order to train the next generation of qualified officers Essence

"Well, hard work. Let the artillery rest rest, we are likely to encounter a fierce battle today."

"Yes, commander!"

"Ah, by the way, Mr. Allen ..." "Is there anything else, the commander?"

Tirbitz called the young officer's candidate.

"After the start of the battle, you will follow the artillery officer of the lower deck of the unicorn and wait for his dispatch."

With the body of a child, it is very convenient to shuttle in the low cabin, and it is very suitable for passing messages and commands.

"Yes, commander!"

Allen respected a gift and left with excitement.

"This is the first time that the line tactics will be used in actual combat. I don't know what the effect is."

The navy's line tactics come from the army's line infantry tactics.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

The Army's infantry tactics were invented by Lord Graman, and combined with his invention of muskets and artillery, it played a huge role in a series of wars involved in Alda.

In each battle, the Alcar soldiers who held muskets and neatly lined up in rows of Alda became the lingering nightmare of enemy soldiers.

They accompanied the drums and took a neat steps, waiting for the officer to make a fire in the same way, and efficiently harvested the life of the opponent's enemy.

After the Army's great success, Lord Graman ordered the Navy officers to study the use of line tactics into naval battles.

Due to the invention of new weapons and new tactics, Paul Graman was considered a known person who was considered by the Lord of Light in the army, otherwise how did he explain that he had not been able to accept military education. Intersection

The navy seniors who have the trust of the lords immediately started to study the application of the line tactics on the sea.

Therefore, in daily training, the Navy changed the way the warships were fighting, and instead of advocating "overall".

Due to the narrow bow and stern of the sailing ship at that time, only a few light guns could be installed. The main guns were installed on both sides of the warship, and were placed vertically with the keel of the ship.

So the specific tactics were: each ship faced the enemy with its side, and lined up in a long line connected end to end, so that the fleet could exert its firepower, so that half of the guns of each warship could shoot at the enemy.

The "Maritime Combat Regulations" issued by the Navy Command clearly defined the column as the standard formation for naval combat: "All warships of each squadron must try their best to keep a line with their squadron leader..."

According to this combat regulation, if a captain leaves the linear array without authorization during combat, he may be sent to a military court afterwards-even if he has achieved greater results.

The new tactics also made up for another shortcoming of the Alda Navy: no matter what, they are a young army that has just been established. The combat capability of soldiers at sea is indeed far inferior to those traditional maritime forces, such as the countries in the Horn Bay. In traditional naval warfare tactics, such as boarding battles, the Alda Navy cannot compete with the enemy when the forces are similar.

Therefore, how to use their range advantage and firepower advantage to the extreme, kill a large number of the enemy's living forces before the enemy approaches and launches a boarding attack, and cause an indelible blow to their morale, has become the top priority of the navy when studying new tactics.
