Chapter 1435 Zheng Sen comes to help
ps: Thanks to book friend "Shennong 5000" for his monthly vote.
This spirit and will cannot be changed from the army to the navy, and a different branch of the army will be changed.
The military laws of the Northern Expedition Army have gradually been improved, and its guarantees and constraints on soldiers are becoming increasingly mature.
Death on the battlefield can bring honor and pension to the family. Otherwise, relatives will be in charge.
From ancient times to the present, a well-trained and well-legged army has almost zero chance of collapse.
What's more, as the head coach, Wu Zheng came to the battlefield in person, even though the battle situation was not good, the morale of the navy soldiers was high.
This is not only the reason for military law, but also the passion in the hearts of the soldiers.
A passionate person, once he knows that he will die, he will be full of fighting spirit.
In naval battles, ships sank and people die, there is no way out.
At this time, Wu Zheng was actually unable to command the navy fighting in front. After the counterattack order was issued, they would fight each other.
Kerry Thorne's mistake is that he used European battlefield conventions to guess this battle.
In his opinion, his side had already gained an absolute advantage in the battle situation. In this case, it would be normal and convenient to leave contact.
In his opinion, this was the luck of the yellow-skinned monkeys, because they saved their lives from the gates of hell.
So, Kerry Thorne was wrong!
If he continues to fight, even if Zheng Sen leads the fleet to attack from the south, with the strength of the joint fleet, the number of ships and the range of artillery can be enough to deal with the two fronts in a short period of time. Moreover, Zheng Sen's reinforcements are not sincere, and he may not be willing to take a single bet and put all the warships of the Zheng family navy into this reinforcement battle.
As long as Kerry Thorne is crippled and dragged down any of these two sides, he will still win this battle. Of course, the price will definitely not be small.
This is also the reason why Kerry Thorne ordered his departure. He, the Netherlands... needs to preserve his strength, especially when he was pushed behind the scenes of the English.
However, the subsequent changes completely blinded Kerry Thorne's dog eyes, which made him stunned.
Why did the navy rush forward to "successfully die"?
In fact, it is very simple, because the navy lacks projection tools and cannot project the mines that truly defeat the enemy near the enemy ship.
The battle between Shi Lang and Napur set a precedent for active attacks in mines, but at this time, there is no replication at all.
Shi Lang's success is that the enemy is defenseless, and the other is that it occupies the wind direction and the tide direction. This makes the thunder clearly there, but it automatically approaches the enemy ship as if it is being absorbed.
Another important thing is that Shi Lang used seven main battleships to attract most enemy ships' side guns. The number of warships on both sides was close, which made Napur unable to respond for the time being.
But now, the enemy is strong and we are weak, and the enemy warships are swinging sideways, and the shooting elements have been calibrated. Their side cannons can even be stratified and carry out cover-based attacks on different sizes and near-sea fire ships in batches.
Thousands of boats compete for the current, half of them are destroyed.
The loss is huge, but the effect is still good.
Any enemy ship that is within two miles of the fire ship can almost escape the consequences of being hit by a thunder. Of course, the impact of the fire ship sailor holding the decisive belief that the enemy dies with the enemy has interpreted the power of the mine to the limit.
The navy soldiers were obviously going crazy.
We fight each other and let them be completely released.
If you have no command and no way out, you will run into it. If you kill one and earn two, you will have to earn honors and pensions for your family and have a future for your children.
At this time, Kerry Thorne wanted to break away from contact with the navy?
Is it possible?
It's just a delusion.
The two sides were in a stalemate, with blazing fires and explosions constantly, and the rolling smoke almost covered the ten-mile radius.
This fierce fight really moved Zheng Sen a little.
The Zheng family navy does not lack practical experience, but what they lack is actually the concept of modern naval warfare.
Zheng Sen looked at the thick smoke that was endless in the distance, was silent for a long time, and finally issued an offensive order.
His offensive order completely reversed the end of this naval battle and laid a solid foundation for the final joint Northern Expedition between the Zheng army and the Northern Expedition Army.
In fact, Zheng Sen's idea at that time was that both sides suffered losses were a good time for the fisherman to benefit. At this time, the attack was in line with the righteousness and saved Wu Zheng, and at the same time, the greatest victory could be achieved.
Zheng Sen was also jealous of the warships and artillery of the Federation Fleet, especially after seeing the thirty new artillery given to him by the Federation Fleet.
But what Zheng Sen did not expect was that the strength of the joint fleet was not lost at this time, and Kerry Thorne was enough to lead the main force to deal with the battles on both fronts and complete a frontal breakthrough.
....
The Zheng family navy is better at boarding battles.
Although Zheng Sen's direct descendants opposed reinforcements of Wu Zheng, once Zheng Sen made a decision, they would still implement Zheng Sen's orders without fail. Of course, this is also the reason why Zheng Sen personally came to supervise the war.
The Zheng family navy, who is good at boarding battles, naturally develops in a relatively fast ship speed.
They detoured towards the Danhushan battlefield in Liegang and Daishan, and Zheng Sen personally led the main fleet to launch a strong attack from Donghuoshan on the back of the battlefield.
The Zheng family navy had more than a thousand warships, like three sharp swords, interspersed behind the joint fleet.
....
Kerry Thorne was absolutely depressed.
Thirty new cannons fed the dog?
The Zheng family navy's "broken contract" attack made Kerry Thorne realize that this battle today would not be good.
It's strange, Kerry Thorne didn't hate the navy that fought against the United Fleet for a day and night, but hated the Zheng family fleet that had stabbed him from behind.
Realizing that the entire army could not leave contact with the navy, Kerry Thorne changed his tactics and personally led more than 300 main battleships to face Zheng Sen's strong attack on the front.
The second battlefield of the Battle of Tanhushan was officially opened.
....
Kerry Thorne is really not lucky enough.
At this time, Wu Zheng was unable to see the mobilization of the joint fleet due to the thick smoke between the two sides. In addition, the monocular telescope at this time did not support seeing an abnormality thirty miles away.
In fact, with Wu Zheng's mentality at this time, if he learned that Zheng Sen came to support, he would probably order a strategic contraction.
Wu Zheng has never been a gentleman. In fact, Wu Zheng is so determined to be in this respect. In his opinion, the world is not his, and it is time for Zheng Sen to resist.
Unfortunately, Wu Zheng couldn't see it.
What he could see was the sinking of hundreds of fire attack ships, the struggle and crying for help in the sea, and then... disappeared.
The fire attack ships were all sunk, so it was the turn of the hundreds of main battleships around Wu Zheng.
In other words, next, it is no longer a douf, but a head-on battle between the main battleship.
The biggest result of the fire attack ship was that it disrupted the enemy's forward, which created favorable conditions for the navy's main battleship to advance to the range of the gun.
Zhang Mingzhen came from his ship and asked to replace Wu Zheng and command the battle.
Then Wang Yilin also sent the same request through the flag message.
