"My telegram?"

Although Shang Jinfeng personally sat in Kunming to supervise the battle, he did not command the battle, nor did he interfere with Han Chao's command, so he suddenly received a telegram from Wang Hailong, which was naturally a little surprising.

However, after reading the telegram, Shang Jinfeng didn't feel funny, of course he knew Wang Hailong's careful thoughts, it was nothing more than that he couldn't pull his face to ask Han Chao at the same level for help, so he turned to his side. However, the South Fleet needed the support of the Kunming ship, and it was already expected by him, after all, the three modern warships of the South Fleet were indeed limited in their strike means, and they still had to rely on the Kunming ship.

Since the Southern Fleet asked for help and support, of course, it couldn't sit idly by, so Shang Jinfeng sent his own guards to invite Han Chao to negotiate.

After a while, Han Chao came to Shang Jinfeng's office, and Shang Jinfeng showed Wang Hailong's telegram to Han Chao, and then said, "How many strike weapons does the Kunming ship still have?"

Han Chao said: "There are 3 rounds of Eagle Strike 18**, there are 4 rounds of Haihongqi 9**, 6 rounds of Haihongqi 16**, and then there are Changying 5**." After a pause, he said: "However, the range of Changying 5** and Haihongqi 16** is not enough, if it is to be used, then the Kunming ship needs to advance at least 50 kilometers." ”

Shang Jinfeng said: "For the time being, if you don't consider the advance of the Kunming ship, you will only use these 3 Eagle Strike 18** and 4 Haihong Flag 9**." ”

Han Chao nodded, and said: "Minister Shang, about supporting the Southern Fleet, I have already considered it, I think that the fleets of Russia and the Netherlands are not enough to filter, so they can not be considered, and although the British fleet still has 4 battleships, they are all seriously damaged, if you use the Sea Red Flag 9**, 2 rounds to attack one, you can basically guarantee to sink, but 1 attack one, the result is unpredictable, maybe all these 4 warships can be sunk, maybe 1 did not sink, of course, even if it is not sunk, there will not be much combat effectiveness." ”

After a pause, Han Chao said again: "But now in the Far East Fleet, only the French fleet has basically no losses, so I think that if we support the Southern Fleet, we should concentrate our forces and focus on attacking the French fleet, France has a total of 5 battleships, and you can sink three with 3 Eagle Strike 18**, and 4 Sea Red Flag 9** If you attack one, you can ensure that it is sunk, but attack two battleships at the same time, each with 2 Sea Red Flags**, you can hit hard, but the probability of sinking is very low, how to choose the attack method?"

Shang Jinfeng nodded and said, "Send all these methods to Wang Hailong, let him decide, and then report the data of the warship to be attacked." ”

Han Chao said: "Yes." ”

Soon Wang Hailong received various plans from the Kunming ship to attack the expeditionary fleet, and after consulting with his own staff officers, Wang Hailong decided to adopt the plan of concentrating forces and focusing on attacking the French fleet, after all, the four British battleships have been heavily damaged, and there is no need to worry, and the means of striking on their side are enough, and although the Russian and Dutch fleets also have three battleships, they can also be ignored, because these three battleships are either old-fashioned battleships or second-class battleships, and they don't need to care at all, not to mention that the Southern Fleet also has two battleships and five armored cruisers, and it is not without the power of a war。

Then the plan of the club strike is: attack 3 battleships with 3 YJ-18**, and 4 Haihongqi 9** in two groups to attack the other two battleships. However, the attack plan of the Haihongqi 9** has caused some controversy, and some staff officers think that it is better to cut off one of its fingers than to injure its ten fingers, and it is better to concentrate four Haihongqi 9** attacks on a battleship and sink it, so why attack separately?

However, Wang Hailong believes that the principle of "it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers" is of course not wrong, but it cannot be used as a dogma, because the Southern Fleet does not have a completely devoid of strike capabilities, but this ability is relatively weak, according to the strike effect of the Northern Fleet, the power of the Haihongqi 16** is weak, and 6 rounds ** may not be able to sink a battleship, if you want to ensure sinking, you need at least 8-10 rounds, if you first use the Haihongqi 9** to hit it hard, and then use the Haihongqi 16** , only 2-4 rounds are needed, and even if they cannot be sunk, they can basically make the warship lose its combat effectiveness, and it can also facilitate the capture of enemy ships by the People's Army. The Northern Fleet captured 3 battleships, and the Southern Fleet could not be too few, and the guarantee was 2 prisoners. According to this plan, it was not difficult to capture 2 or 3 of the warships that were heavily damaged, including 4 British battleships, 2 French battleships, and 3 Dutch and Russian battleships.

In the end, of course, Wang Hailong's plan was determined, first, Wang Hailong's plan did have its own reason, and second, Wang Hailong was the commander-in-chief of the Southern Fleet, and had the power to make arbitrary decisions.

At this time, the expeditionary fleet was less than 15 kilometers away from the Southern Fleet, so Wang Hailong ordered the fleet to attack the expeditionary fleet. At the same time, the helicopter was ordered to send the data of the five French battleships to the Kunming, because at this time, the expeditionary fleet was more than 100 kilometers away from the Kunming, which was beyond the scanning range of the ship's radar.

In fact, at this time, the expeditionary fleet also discovered the South Fleet of the People's Army fleet, the number of which was about 20, and at least 2 battleships could be determined. After receiving this news, the faces of the naval commanders of Britain, France, Russia and the Netherlands became very ugly, in fact, more than 20 warships are not much, and the expeditionary fleet can be completely resisted, and it can even be easily defeated, but the problem is that the kind of ** weapon that fell from the sky used by the People's Army just now is too terrible, who dares to guarantee that the opposite fleet does not have this kind of weapon, if that is the case, the expeditionary force fleet is afraid that it will really be wiped out.

But at this point, the expeditionary fleet can't give up, no matter what, it has to fight, maybe this fleet doesn't have that kind of weapon, although this possibility is not high, but it is not completely impossible, because the fleet just now did not completely kill itself.

Of course, at this time, the French fleet has to play an important role, after all, only the French fleet in the expeditionary fleet is basically intact, and there is still complete combat effectiveness, of course, the French fleet is also in charge, and the commander Ginole is still a little comfortable in his heart, but at this moment, the lookout issued a warning, "There is an enemy attack, and the Spitfire shells are coming again." ”

Despite this kind of mental preparation, but when it really came, everyone's hearts still sank, and some people even let out a desperate cry, after all, Ginoor was the commander of the fleet, and he was able to calm down at this time, and hurriedly ordered "each ship to evade it on its own", but whether this order was useful or not, even Ginoer himself couldn't believe it.

And at this moment, there was a loud "boom", and Ginol only felt a huge tremor under his feet, and suddenly stood unsteadily, and fell to the ground, and he knew very well in his heart that the blow of the People's Army finally fell on the head of the French fleet.

The three YJ-18** fired from the Kunming ship hit the Masséna, Bouvet and Jena respectively, and although the parts of the hits were different, all three warships were blown to pieces without exception and began to sink into the water. The 4-shot Haihongqi 9** hit the Suflon and the Jorégiberg respectively, although they did not miss, but they also severely damaged the two warships.

After receiving the report on the results of the strike, Wang Hailong was also very satisfied, and the support of the Kunming ship was really enough, so he ordered the Yueyang ship and the Sanya ship to follow the mending knife and launch 4 rounds of Sea Red Flag 16** for each of the two French warships that were heavily damaged, as well as the three warships of Russia and the Netherlands, and 2 rounds of Sea Red Flag 16** for each of the 4 British warships, and at the same time 2 Eagle Strike 83** for each of the 5 French armored cruisers, and 1 Eagle Strike 83** for the remaining 5 British cruisers.

In this way, the Southern Fleet fired more than 40 rounds of various types of ** in one go, although they were not launched together, but they were continuous, and the entire strike time lasted for 5 minutes. And nearly 20 warships were hit.

In fact, after the end of the strike, there were not many warships sunk, a total of only 5 warships were sunk, of which the British fleet was sunk three, namely the battleship Hannibal, the armored cruiser Monmouth, and the protective cruiser Terror.

One of the armored cruisers in the British fleet was sunk, which was a medium armored cruiser with a displacement of 7600 tons, and another was the Russian battleship Rytasrov, which was not too old, commissioned in 1896, and was 10 years old, but this battleship was subordinate to the Black Sea Fleet, mainly to suppress Turkey, so the displacement was only 9700 tons, the caliber of the main gun was only 253 mm, and the armor was not thick, as a result, the warship was sunk by 4 sea red flags 16**.

Of course, this round of strikes is mainly psychologically for the expeditionary fleet, because this fleet that intercepts itself not only has this terrible weapon, but once it seems that there are still a lot of them, then this battle cannot be fought at all, so at this time, the psychology of many people has also completely collapsed, so regardless of the discipline of the fleet, Order, one after another, accelerated to flee, some were completely dizzy, rushing forward, but most of the army still maintained a little sanity, some turned to the side of the direction to escape, hoping to bypass the People's Army fleet, and some simply turned around, first pulling the distance from the People's Army fleet.

At this time, the People's Army fleet also approached and opened fire on the expeditionary force fleet, which made the expeditionary force fleet even worse and more chaotic, so almost all the warships were fighting on their own, and the better ones were only 2 or 3 warships as a group of coordination, of course, this combination was not fixed, and it was possible to separate at any time and then regroup.
