After several rounds of shelling each other, the two fleets also had some base points about each other's strength, and Uemura Hikonosui also urgently calculated it in his heart. Although the opponent's gunnery is obviously higher than his own, and the number of warships participating in the battle is also two more, there are only 2 large armored cruisers, and there are 4 protective cruisers.

However, the most worrying thing for Uemura Hikonoki is not the strength of the other side but the speed, Uemura Hikonoki estimates that the speed of the opponent's fleet is about 3 knots faster than his own, and now there are two large armored cruisers that have surpassed his own ship, and it is estimated that in another 1 0-1 5 minutes, he will turn to grab the "T" crosshead, which is the most unfavorable place for himself, and Uemura Yannojo certainly knows the importance of grabbing the "T" crosshead.

But the speed is obviously not able to fight the enemy fleet, and now retreating from the battlefield is not the best choice, but after all, Uemura Hikonojo is experienced in actual combat, and immediately has a big plan in his mind, since his speed is not as good as the opponent, then it is better to go head-on, and also turn to grab the "T" crosshead, of course, now the enemy's two large armored cruisers have rushed to their front, so they will definitely not be able to grab the "T" The word cross, Uemura Hikonojo aimed at the junction of the enemy's two large armored cruisers and two medium armored cruisers before, and it became a matter of grabbing the word "ten".

If your tactics are successful, you can cut the opponent's fleet in two, and grab the "T" crosses of the opponent's 6 warships, which can give full play to your sideboard firepower, and the opponent's two large armored cruisers will turn back to support the reinforcements, which will take about 10 minutes, and during this time, you can at least severely damage the opponent's two warships, or even more, so that even if the opponent's two large armored cruisers come back to participate in the battle, they can at least be sure to retreat.

Of course, this tactic is also quite risky, because it is grabbing the "ten" In the process of word pointing, their own ships will definitely be hit by the enemy's key blows, and it is even very likely to be sunk, but the risk is great, which means that the benefits are huge, and if you fight according to the conventional tactics, not only will you not be able to take advantage of anything, but also the danger of annihilation, firstly, who knows when the weapon that is so strange and terrifying just now will fall on your head, and secondly, Uemura Hikoyuki is still very clear about what warships of the People's Army Navy are, in addition to the two large armored cruisers that appeared unexpectedly just now, there are at least three battleships and two large armored cruisers。

This time, the overseas Chinese obviously had premeditated, and they certainly would not just send these warships out to make a small fuss, and their own first warship obviously could not count on it, and if the other warships of the other side arrived, I am afraid that their six warships would really be buried here, so if they did not fight at this time, when would they wait? In the end, they could bring five warships, or even four warships, back, which was also an acceptable result.

In the national character of the Japanese, there is a kind of gambler-style desperate heart, Togo Hachihiro dares to play a "big turn in front of the enemy" in front of the Russian fleet, and Uemura Hikonojo naturally does not lack the courage to gamble again, to "seize the 'ten' point", now just to find a suitable time.

But at this moment, the soldier who only heard the lookout from the mast shouted at the top of his voice: "Commander, the fire-breathing shells, the fire-breathing shells are here again." ”

Uemura Hikonojo's heart trembled, and he looked up at the sky, this time in the northeast sky, two fires drew two obvious trajectories in the sky, coming straight to his side, but he didn't know that the target was his own warship.

And Uemura Hikonojo suddenly felt cold, it seems that the first team is finished withdrawing, and now the enemy has free up his hands to deal with himself. And then the watchman's terrifying voice sounded again: "There is still here, on the sea, and on the sea." ”

Everyone immediately looked at the sea again, and sure enough, when they saw a puff of flames flying almost against the sea, Uemura Hikonoki's mind sank, this time it was complete despair.

As a matter of fact, the KPA Navy has not been established for a long time, and the cultural quality of the soldiers is not high, and although the daily training is very strict, there is still a considerable distance between it and the Japanese Navy. Since they are two Mingju-class armored cruisers, which have just been in service for less than five months, and even the run-in period has not yet completely ended, there is indeed a clear gap between the overall quality and the advanced navy of this era. Under normal circumstances, the armored cruiser detachment and the 2nd cruiser detachment of the KPA Navy, even if combined, were no match for the 2nd squadron of the combined fleet.

However, behind the armored cruiser detachment and the 2nd cruiser detachment of the KPA Navy, two modern warships provide support. Although the Yueyang and Sanya warships were moored 30 kilometers away, the carrier-based helicopters on the Sanya had already taken off, and the entire battlefield was within the scanning range of the ship-based helicopter radar. Moreover, before the battle, the machine computer of the Sanya ship also calculated the firing parameters of each warship of the People's Army Navy according to the speed of action of both sides. This mode of operation, which was used in the Battle of Java two years ago, can be regarded as a mode of opening up the current KPA Navy.

Although the informatization level of the Sanya ship cannot be compared with that of the Kunming ship, in the old time and space, after all, it was also a multi-purpose frigate focusing on regional air defense, and its informatization capability was still very strong, and it was more than enough to calculate the movement trajectory of several warships.

After obtaining the shooting parameters from the Sanya ship, the warships of the People's Army Navy did not need to aim at all, nor did they need to proofread, but only needed to set the firing units of the artillery according to these battles. As a result, several of the KPA Navy's warships not only had a fast rate of fire, but were also far more accurate than the Combined Fleet, and because they were two Mingju-class warships, they were equipped with eight main guns, and each time they fired a salvo of eight guns, the result was an astonishing hit rate. Let the combined fleet not have a temper at all.

If the Sanya ship is to provide data for the warships of the People's Army Navy for indirect support, then the Yueyang ship is to provide direct help when necessary, after several rounds of fighting between the two sides, the computer of the Yueyang ship also through military chess deduction, analyzed the strength of the two sides, the two Mingju class not only have the support of the Sanya ship, the main gun is also twice as much as the opponent, against the Izumo, the Bande has an absolutely obvious advantage; and although the two Jinan-class warships are inferior to the Asama and Tokiwa in tonnage, they are also slightly inferior in firepower—— The main guns of the two sides are basically the same, but the secondary guns are four less, and the side guns are two less, but because of the secret assistance of the Sanya ship, they can still have a slight advantage; but the four Qingzhou-class warships are obviously invincible against the Yakumo and Azuma, after all, it is still advantageous to use the protective cruiser and the armored cruiser to fight each other.

In comprehensive comparison, the strength of the People's Army Navy is still superior, but the advantage is only 8-13 percentage points, although it can defeat the other side, but it will definitely have considerable losses, the computer has a total of more than 10 kinds of endings, such as the total annihilation of the opponent, then its own losses are: 3 warships (two Jinan-class, one Qingzhou-class), or 4 warships (one Jinan-class, three Qingzhou-class); and if you want to ensure that you do not lose one, you can only sink two warships at most.

The goal of the KPA is to inflict as much damage on the opponent as possible and reduce its own losses, obviously both of these results are unacceptable, so it is necessary to give direct help to the fleet, so the commander Wang Hailong decided to use * to strike at the combined fleet.

The Yueyang ship and the Sanya ship are both Type 054A, equipped with two kinds of *, the air defense * is the Haihongqi 16*, and the anti-ship * is the Eagle Strike 83*, the lethality of these two * is much weaker than the Kunming ship equipped with the Haihongqi 9 and the Eagle Strike 18, and the Eagle Strike 83 * can only use the mode of sea-skimming attack, and the main way to open the warships in this era is on the side side, so the air strike is much more effective, but the number of these two * is doubled, which is also an advantage, and more * attacks can be used.

So after Wang Hailong considered it, he decided to use 3 * for each enemy ship, two Haihong Flag 16* from the air, and one Eagle Strike 83* sea skimming to attack the side side. The first targets to strike at Yakumo and Azuma were the two Japanese ships against the four Qingzhou-class protective cruisers, which was also the biggest disadvantage of the KPA Navy.

All 6* were launched from the Yueyang ship, and this became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and Uemura Hikonojo's psychology completely collapsed, and he completely lost the courage to execute the "ten" point, but ordered the warship to turn to the right, and use strong pressure ventilation to increase the speed to the limit, and escape from the battlefield as quickly as possible. However, although Uemura Hikonojo completely lost his fighting spirit, he did not forget his responsibility, and the radio could not be used, but he still hung the banner of "turn right and quickly evacuate the battlefield" on the mast.

"Boom boom! boom boom!" Just after the Izumo raised the flag, the six * launched by the Yueyang ship hit the target one after another, the front and rear main turrets of the Yakumo were destroyed, and a large hole was blown out of the side side, and the ship's cabin was already wounded and killed, and the sea water poured into the cabin like a flood from the breach, washing away more than 10 soldiers who were about to plug the leak. Even if it is not sinkable, it basically loses its combat effectiveness.

And the situation of Azuma is slightly better, the front main turret was destroyed, but the * on the rear deck of the attack was a little off, and the landing point was at the stern of the ship, which blew the stern into a puddle of ruins, and the tail rudder and a propeller were also damaged, and the position of the Eagle Strike 83* of the sea-skimming attack was almost close to the waterline, which is one of the thickest parts of the ship's armor, and it was finally not penetrated, although there were many cracks and water in the water, but it was not fatal damage, but this time the combat effectiveness was also lost most of it.

Of course, the four Qingzhou-class protective cruisers that fought against these two warships would not miss this opportunity, and they immediately opened fire with all their firepower and desperately fired at the two heavily damaged Japanese ships.
