Lord of Ming Dynasty

The first thousand and 570 chapters nine Nima crossed again 2

In short, he is very rough, his family is very rough, and he has worked hard for a lifetime in the military, but he is only treated as a commander of the garrison brigade. Compared with his ancestors, he is now 25 years old, and he is already considered good.

After coming here, after two years of hard work, he became a recruit just after he was 19 years old. After three months of military training, he passed the military training. Because of his ancestral military attributes and military background, he quickly stood out and became an exception. The promoted fourth-class soldier stayed in the new barracks for one year. His new barracks stayed in the mainland for four months and was transferred to Xindingzhou for two years. The first two months were quiet, and the fourth month suppressed the French. Resisting, he slashed and killed on horseback, made meritorious service, and was promoted to deputy squad leader.

Afterwards, they were transferred to the border with the British, guarding the lumber field there, and had constant friction with the British. As the deputy squad leader, he led the recruits to complete the task very well, and was promoted to third-class soldier in the eighth month , and then transferred to another recruit battalion as squad leader.

After three months of training, he made another contribution with the excellent team performance of the whole class, and was promoted to study in the garrison camp. Three months later, that is, a little more than one month a year, he became a second-class soldier and served as a deputy in the garrison camp. The platoon leader was transferred to the recruit battalion after three months as the platoon leader. The recruit battalion was transferred to the Azores. At that time, the Azores had just experienced a war. They were stationed and trained recruits. Later, they were adjusted to the navy because of the naval battle. Marine Corps recruits, after World War I, they boarded the ship and served as Marine Corps soldiers stationed on battleships.

During the battle, he served as the commander of the Marine Corps of three warships. While learning about the navy, he commanded and helped the warships to fight. When the merchant fleet they stationed faced pirate attacks, they repelled the pirates who secretly boarded the ship. , and then he was promoted to the battalion staff officer of the Marine Corps, of course, from the new barracks. After returning to land for three months, he was promoted to private first class, and was sent to the school of the Marine Corps to study. Later he became a corporal, a private officer.

Served as a trainee staff officer for the shore garrison battalion of the Marine Corps. After three months, he was promoted to staff officer and served in the logistics department of the Marine Corps. In four years, he was promoted from a recruit to a corporal in the logistics department of the Marine Corps to a logistics sergeant. He went to the logistics department of the fleet to serve as the battalion commander's orderly. In less than a month, he replaced the commander when transporting supplies. At that time, the first officer and Song Qing returned to the base in Africa for inspection. He stayed at the base for three months. He assisted the battalion commander and the first mate very well. The first mate was very happy and promoted him to be a sergeant, but a transfer order made him drop off to serve as the commander of the Marine Corps on a battleship in the fleet. The battleship had just been sacrificed. The ensign's battleship.

He became a trainee warrant officer when he boarded the ship, and became the adjutant of the second lieutenant. This second lieutenant used to be his recruit squad leader. In the new Qin State, a country with frequent wars, their promotion is very fast, because they have been promoted many times. To reorganize the troops, because of the loss of a large number of commanders, in one battle, the second lieutenant squad leader ordered him to take command of a Type I ironclad ship.

Because the ironclad ship suffered heavy losses and the officers had no time to equip it, he had to be sent as a trainee warrant officer. From then until three months ago, he served as the fourth officer, third officer, and second officer of the Type I ironclad ship. The first officer, until the official captain, came here to temporarily become a reserve second lieutenant. When he went to war again, he received a few telegrams, and he became a second lieutenant to command a fleet instead.

And the grades he handed over were not bad either. Second lieutenant squad leader was promoted to lieutenant, and then temporary captain, but he could no longer be promoted, and in the future he could only be treated as a commemorative captain, and now he has become this broken team, only three The interim commander of a battleship, and now he has just been promoted to an official second lieutenant in less than a month and a half.

It's just because the on-site position has become a higher commander than the major on the main ironclad ship under the appointment of the temporary captain, so now, no matter how unwilling the major commanders on the two battleships are, he has to listen to him. Because he is the commander of another fleet, according to the position ranking of the new Qin State, he is now the commander of the entire fleet.

The New Qin Kingdom actually has a command position above the military rank. Below this is the high rank to take over the command. Unless he dies, the major on the capital ship can only obey his command, such as The original squad leader was only a second lieutenant, the commander of a Type [-] ironclad ship, just because he was appointed as the fleet commander, and the capital ship joined the fleet later. In the fleet, of course, the fleet commander is higher, so the high-level battleship joined This is the case with low-level fleets.

Under normal circumstances, high-level warships will not be mixed into low-level fleets, but if they are temporarily matched, and the superiors do not come and deploy high-ranking commanders, then the second lieutenant of the low-level fleet can also command the major, and the fleet commander who is one level higher than the second lieutenant is the lieutenant A major or even a lieutenant colonel who can also command a high-level fleet, even if Zhuang Lin and the others come, unless Zhuang Lin announces that he will take over the command, Zhuang Lin can only be replaced by a second lieutenant or lieutenant, or a slightly higher rank, with the rank of major general. Temporary captain, captain in command.

But when I have the right to speak, as the commander of the main battleship, I can immediately take over the command, unless he is not only a captain, or he holds a very important position, such as the fleet has served as the commander, or has In other respects, low-level officers are not up to the task, and you are the only major or lieutenant colonel present, otherwise you cannot take over the command of the fleet. After asking for instructions, you can command with the authorized telegram from your superior.

Without authorization, you can only obey the command of the current commander. Unless the commander suffers a major loss, they can only take over after asking for instructions.

He vaguely recalled the past and present of this body, as well as himself, but in his somewhat vague, fragmented memory, he couldn't remember who he was before, but he just remembered that he enjoyed it very much. Wealth is also a very rough life, and of course there is a very difficult and very short life of a few decades.

He didn't know that was his identity, but as a life instinct, he instinctively felt that his current situation was not a second, and the anxious people around him called his name, of course it was the name he remembered now, Zhang Siyuan, as well as his current military rank, second lieutenant, his own position, commander of the auxiliary fleet, transport auxiliary fleet, and now San Juan, commander of the Puerto Rico Guard Fleet, fleet commander.

"What's going on now?" he asked.

He must respond, otherwise according to the regulations, if he cannot command and loses the ability to command, he will lose his position as fleet commander. From the regulations on the appointment and removal of commanders in a series of battles in the new Qin State just recalled, it is very likely that Soon the navy, that is, the third officer of the naval frigate of the New Qin State and a senior sergeant major will take over his command, so what will he do in the future?

The first thousand and 580 chapters thrilling to the end

The captain of this frigate is a second lieutenant, frigate, this is the former main battleship, the Ironclad Type IV, but with the upgrade of the battleship, the officers on the battleship are also adjusted.

For example, in the auxiliary battleship fleet, the old captain of the first type is a naval corporal, the second type is a naval sergeant, and the third type is a naval sergeant. This is because they are actually only auxiliary fleets. It is possible to fight, so the organization is not bad. The captain of a battleship like transporting supplies, a senior and experienced fisherman is fine, or a retired navy private or above, as long as he has passed the captain's exam, he is competent. But the auxiliary fleet sometimes has to fight, so the captains on their battleships must be active naval regular officers.

The new and improved Type [-] warship must be a sergeant or a sergeant major, the Type [-] must be a sergeant major, or a reserve warrant officer, and the Type [-] must be a reserve or even a second lieutenant. The reason why he was directly qualified as the captain from the Marine Corps in the fleet, and even because of his commanding ability, he was promoted to fleet commander by leapfrogging.

Because he has stayed in many positions, he was promoted from a private first class to a reserve second lieutenant in the navy, participated in naval battles many times, and stayed in the navy's transport fleet, merchant fleet, logistics posts, and staff posts, so he can The reserve second lieutenant directly serves as the captain. When he needs to command the fleet, his squad leader was a second lieutenant before the battle. After winning the first landing battle, he was promoted to lieutenant, and one and a half months later he was promoted to reserve captain and temporary captain. Let him take over the San Juan Fleet because the San Juan Fleet is old and has a small number of ships, and he can use his talents, and he can also command it.

Now the captain of this battleship is sacrificed, the first mate, the second mate are dead, the third mate takes over, the rank of the third mate is reserve warrant officer, the rank of the second mate is warrant officer, the rank of the fourth mate is sergeant major, and the rank of bosun is also Sergeant major, the rank of gunnery commander is also sergeant major, the rank of first officer is second lieutenant, the rank of captain is second lieutenant, although the frigate is not an improved type, it is also a former capital ship, so the captain's rank is relatively high. A deputy is a person who may take over the command of the captain at any time, and his military rank is generally the same level as that of the captain, or half a level lower.

Shaking his head, trying to get rid of the pain in his body and the dizziness in his head, he tried to open his eyes, and the people around him supported him to stand firmly on the podium, he looked out the window, the guns were rumbling outside the window, the battle was still going on, He nodded towards the third officer, "Continue to execute the previous order, break out, and join the capital ship."

The third officer picked up the binoculars, and suddenly the broadcast sounded in the microphone, "Our main fleet is here,"

Hearing this shout, everyone turned towards the deep sea, and saw that on the rough sea, through layers of gunpowder smoke, a fleet jumped out of the sea level and appeared behind the enemy fleet about ten nautical miles away.

The main fleet led by Lu Fang has 49 main battleships, 20 cruisers, [-] frigates, [-] destroyers, and a total of [-] battleships. For those that have suffered heavy losses, basically those old battleships have been replaced by second lieutenants and temporary fleets. This is bad news for the British Caribbean Fleet, which has lost more than [-] warships.

Now the British still have eight second-generation ironclad ships, which are also the active battleships of the British, four first-generation ironclad ships, five quasi-ironclad ships, and five improved battleships, a total of 22 battleships and basically all of them are injured, because they fight Too cruel.

Think about it, there are a total of 26 warships that can go to battle, and there were [-] seriously injured ships on the shore, on the beach, on the waterways, waste utilization, and dozens of artillery from the shore artillery battalion, just destroying the enemy The warships destroyed many enemy landing warships and some warships that were close to bombardment.

After basically a week of landing battles, every enemy warship was hit by artillery fire from shore artillery and wounded warships acting as shore artillery. Under such circumstances, 22 wounded warships faced the enemy's new Can the British not panic if they have twice as many warships as their own and are more advanced than their own?

Now there is no need for them to break through the siege. Except for the two quasi-ironclad warships left behind by the British who surrounded them, they are all turning around and preparing to meet Lu Fang's main fleet. The injured second-generation ironclad ship and a first-generation ironclad ship besieged, and the others turned around to meet Lu Fang's fleet.

Chasing the escaping cruiser and a frigate, the enemy of a Type III destroyer, two battleships, an ironclad ship, and a quasi-ironclad ship also returned quickly, leaving behind the semi-sunken cruiser and frigate, and fled to the port of the Type III The destroyers turned back and concentrated on the main force of the British fleet.

Second lieutenant Zhang Siyuan, our traverser, raised his binoculars and watched the enemy's movements calmly, "Bypass them, don't worry about them, let's meet up with the capital ship." Hurry up and order.

The capital ship over there was fully powered, smashing away a first-generation ironclad ship of the enemy at a speed of 10 knots, and rendezvoused towards them at full speed. In less than 5 minutes, the three warships met, and the two quasi-ironclad ships of the enemy hurriedly They turned around and ran away, but how could they run away? They were seriously injured by the arriving battleship in less than [-] minutes, so they had to hang the white flag and surrender. Their speed couldn't outrun the battleship.

But now no one can accept their surrender. Everyone is very busy. After ignoring them, the three warships under the command of the second lieutenant went all out to meet the enemy. The enemy's first-generation ironclad ship tilted after being hit. The battleship fired all its firepower and concentrated its firepower to sink that battleship. After hitting the enemy with one shot, the enemy wisely hung a white flag and surrendered.

Afterwards, there was only the second generation of the enemy's ironclad ship left here. Facing three new Qin warships that were superior in firepower and combat effectiveness, they wisely chose to escape. The second lieutenant commanded the warship to chase after 10 minutes and the enemy surrendered , the second lieutenant ordered to go up, and after capturing this warship, the three warships rescued people with small boats, transported people to take over the captured enemy's four warships, and then the three warships turned back to intercept the return from the port, in an attempt to Bypassing their two British improved first-class armed battleships, a first-generation ironclad ship.

Apparently the three warships that were also scarred could not fight against the two main battleships of the New Qin Kingdom. After 10 minutes of fighting, one battleship was sunk, one was captured, and one ironclad ship was seriously injured and escaped. The second lieutenant could only let people He gave up the pursuit and began to rescue the personnel from both sides who fell into the water on the battlefield. After rescuing some personnel, he asked a second officer on the capital ship to command the battleship, and continued to guard the prisoners and clean the battlefield. In good condition on the capital ship.

The captain of the capital ship is a major, but at this moment he can only obey his command, because he is the fleet commander. According to tradition, the fleet commander can only hand over the fleet rights to the next-level fleet commander, and the next order is the order. The flagship captain of the fleet at the previous level, now that the fleet commander at the previous level was killed, he handed over power to him, and handed over power according to the rank of the fleet, not the rank of military rank.

The first thousand and 580 chapters, the troubles of the end of the naval battle

The fighting there was fierce, and the injuries here were severe. The Puerto Rico fleet has 700 sailors, 200 marines, other prisoners and handymen, temporary conscripts from the island and Han people who came here, There are 200 mercenaries, so many people are on more than 40 warships. After two fierce naval battles, there are now less than 2000 people left in the fleet of 800 people. Nearly [-] people were seriously injured or wounded. The number of people who fell into the water was only [-].

This fleet is a waste.

There are only three battleships left that can act, and they are all slanderous.

The main decisive battle over there lasted until 22 o'clock in the afternoon. When it was dark, the curtain came to an end. The [-] British warships, except for the five seriously injured warships that had withdrawn from the battle due to injuries, escaped, the others were all annihilated or captured.

The main force of the British Caribbean Fleet was also completely wiped out.

The fleet returned to the port, the port was brightly lit, there were wounded and prisoners everywhere, there were also many wounded in the garrison, the port was broken, the forts were almost completely destroyed, the entire port of Puerto Rico and San Juan almost lost their defense capabilities, and almost lost their docking Due to the capabilities of the warships, Lu Fang's fleet could only park outside the port, and then dispatched warships to salvage and clean up the waterways. In the middle of the night, when the waterways were opened, the fleet entered the port.

The main fleet lost a capital ship, two cruisers, three frigates, and three destroyers. A total of nine warships were sunk, because after a long period of maneuvering, five hundred kilometers a day and one night, speeding up more than 200 nautical miles, many There was a problem with the mechanical performance of the battleship. After the expedition, Lao Shi immediately went into battle to intercept the British Caribbean fleet.

Although most of the enemy has been injured, the combat capabilities of the British naval personnel on the main battleships and regular warships should not be underestimated. The British also accelerated their escape based on the possibility that the steam engine would be scrapped. Desperate to survive, Lu Fang reluctantly accepted the price of sinking nine warships, seriously wounding five, slandering seven, and slightly injuring two, and then won the battle, completely annihilating the British Caribbean fleet.

This battle with the Caribbean fleet of the Spaniards and the British almost severely damaged the main force of the Panamanian fleet. There are still more than 20 warships that need to be repaired for at least three days before they can leave the port. Other injured warships need at least a week. Maintenance and maintenance, and then it can be towed to Xindingzhou shipyard for repair.

However, the results were remarkable. With the loss of about 130 warships, serious injuries, and slander, the enemy's two fleets that dominated the Caribbean Sea with good combat effectiveness were eliminated. A total of more than [-] enemy warships were captured and sunk, and only less than Ten ships, this is a big victory for New Qin, good news, because apart from the super fleet of the British, there is no other fleet in the Caribbean that can compete with the New Qin Panama fleet, if temporary allies are excluded The fleet of the Dutch, or the words of the French fleet.

The number of captured enemy warships has reached twenty, including four British ironclad second-generation main battleships, four ironclad first-generation main battleships, four quasi-ironclad ships, five British improved first-class armed battleships, one A thousand-ton fast ironclad ship, and a generation of ironclad ships owned by the Spaniards who escaped from the British. Like the new Qin State, the warships they sold to the Spaniards are all export versions, so this warship is the same as the generation of warships owned by the British themselves. It's different, the firepower, protection, and speed are all weakened.

There are also five steam engine battleships previously equipped by the Caribbean Fleet brought by the British, which already have the appearance and combat effectiveness of the first-generation ironclad warships purchased by the Spaniards.

In addition to capturing enemy warships, nearly 200 enemy armed merchant ships were also captured. Thirteen old steam engine warships were used to cover and load the landing troops. The enemy's landing force was [-] people, half Half of the Spanish troops were colonial troops from the British colonies, all of them were Mexicans, North American immigrants, and indigenous people on the island. There were less than [-] regular British troops.

Half of these men were wounded, and half were troops stranded on the beach who finally surrendered.

Most of the Spaniards' troops are North American immigrants and Mexicans. The regular army has less than 1000 people, just 700 people.

This has greatly reduced their results, because neither the Spaniards nor the British will pay for the redemption of these colonial troops, and now it is a headache to eliminate these excessive captives and captured natives , Kill them, it’s against human nature, don’t kill them, no one wants them, and they have to pay for food to support them, and they have to send soldiers to guard them. Now the new Qin State still has too many headaches for these people, and it doesn’t want to If so many people are caught again, there is no other way but to accept it now.

Those people were all landing troops, as well as sailors, officers, and marines in the captured British and Spanish fleets. There were also nearly ten thousand people, so many people, although there were nearly five regiments on Puerto Rico and San Juan Island There are two mercenary regiments, two Han regiments, three marine regiments, and nearly 2 troops, but it is still a bit difficult to guard prisoners who are similar in strength to their own.

What's more, there are still immigrants and former garrisons on the island that the British have not evacuated cleanly, captives and immigrants from the Spanish fleet that were previously captured, and some merchants and others on merchant ships that came to trade with other countries, and now add the force of the fleet There are only 3 people, and there are 4000 captives, immigrants, and other foreign businessmen who have no intersection.

Just guarding them will disperse a lot of troops. Three of the five mercenary regiments are guarding the prisoners. After the death and injury of the three marines, only one regiment-level unit of the marines is intact. In the future, the garrison forces remaining on the island are only half of the regiment's officer command organization and half of the regiment's strength guarding the main places.
