"We're late!"

On the flagship of the Changlong, Commander Xue Du said in a deep voice, his eyes falling on the dozen or so Japanese warships not far away.

In their encirclement, the wreckage of some warships was scattered on the water, floating up and down with the rippling waves, and emerging from the water from time to time.

A lifebuoy floated on the water, and a few words were written on it, which was the name of the battleship, "Goshawk"

Everyone on the flagship understands that they are late!

"The little devil raised by the son of a bitch, I'm not done with you!" On a frigate, the captain who had the best relationship with the captain of the Goshawk frigate gritted his teeth and scolded, "Blood debt and blood payment, wait." ”

On the six warships, the sailors were all indignant and glared angrily at the Japanese warships opposite.

At this time, the Japanese warships turned their bows, changed into a formation to confront the First Fleet, and then sailed head-on, apparently planning to start a war with the First Fleet.

Commander Xue Duxue's face was gloomy, and he shouted, "Go ahead." ”

The four warships, based on the flagship Changlong, pressed their flanks to meet the Japanese warships, while the remaining frigate lagged behind, ready to support the ships in front at any time.

The First Fleet only has a total of six warships, which is half less than the devils, and the more powerful destroyers are even more powerful in a ratio of one to four, which is a huge difference.

If it weren't for the above telegram and the bottom in their hearts, Xue Du and the others would not have been able to win even if they worked hard.

But now, they have the bottom in their hearts, and they are naturally full of energy, and they take the initiative to launch an offensive formation, and they collide with the daily fleet.

Although they were far apart, both sides were relatively fast, so they quickly came within the range of the ship's guns.

With two booms, the Japanese opened fire first, and the shells whistled by, landing on the right side of the flagship of the Long Dragon, splashing skyrocketing.

Xue Du stood in the captain's room, his eyes did not blink, as if the two shells were not falling against the warship but 108,000 miles away, staring at the enemy on the opposite side.

On both sides, the four frigates did not open fire, but pressed forward without a sound, forcing the Japanese warships on the opposite side.

The Japanese warships opened fire one after another, and the shells were scattered in the air, falling in the ranks of the First Fleet, and most of them missed, only to cause a splash.

The First Fleet was moving forward, and at the same time sat on various evasive maneuvers, so although the Japanese fired first, the hit rate was not high, and only one frigate was hit by a shot, shattering a deck.

The distance between the two sides is approaching at high speed, getting closer and closer, and they have entered a relatively sensitive cordon.

"Fire."

At this point, the warships of the First Fleet opened fire, and the guns of different calibers continued to spit tongues of fire, covering the Japanese fleet in an instant.

It seems that they didn't expect the First Fleet to be so desperate and rush all the way to this distance, so most of them were stunned and became the target of the First Fleet.

Boom, boom, boom, the cannonballs jumped in the sky, were fired from the ships of the First Fleet, and then landed on the decks of the Japanese warships, exploding in dazzling flames.

The decks were torn apart by the explosion of shells, and it looked as if someone had stripped them of them.

The first round of shelling lasted about three minutes, with casualties on both sides, but it was clear that the First Fleet had taken advantage and used the forced advance to inflict greater casualties on both sides.

However, this is a little advantage that the first fleet has gained by using the surprise attack, and the second time is not good, because the other side has defense, so it can only enter a tug-of-war.

In this way, the disadvantages of the First Fleet were manifested and began to gradually fall into disadvantage.

The other party is equivalent to two ships against one, which makes the first fleet, which is already lagging behind, more and more passive, and has begun to be a little pressed and beaten by others.

The four Japanese destroyers lined up, and around them were protected by the eight frigates, forming a very solid defensive line.

The offensive formation of the First Fleet was quickly frustrated, and they could not break through the opponent's defensive formation at all, so they had to revise the battle plan, and the Japanese army also changed their countermeasures accordingly.

On the flagship of the Changlong, Commander Xue Du's face was solemn, and he kept giving orders, directing the fleet to make adjustments to reduce losses.

In the captain's room of the flagship, Commander Xue Du had a stern expression, drawing on the map with a red and blue pencil in his hand, constantly revising the battle plan.

These plans are all made on an ad hoc basis, and they are constantly being modified and adjusted at any time, because the situation of the war is changing rapidly, and there is no fixed formula to follow.

Chief of Staff Jiang Da hurriedly rushed over from the side of the captain's office, and said hurriedly, "Commander, the Chunyun has been seriously injured and has basically lost its combat capability, so I think it is better to withdraw quickly." ”

The Chunyun is a frigate, and it is also the oldest and most backward warship among these warships, but it is also the most advanced warship in this battle, and she fought bravely and dragged the two devil frigates to death.

By the time of the battle, the Chunyun had been scarred, even the mast had been blown off, a large hole had been blown through the hull, and the bow of the ship had begun to sink.

Commander Xue Du's brows were twisted into pimples, he stared at the map in front of him, and said to himself, "No, once she withdraws, what will happen to the two extra warships." ”

Six warships to deal with twelve warships is already very difficult, and if the Japanese army vacates two warships because of the withdrawal of the Chunyun, then the pressure on the other warships will definitely increase sharply.

When the time comes, it is likely to cause a chain reaction that will result in a rout.

Chief of Staff Jiang Da also knew about the situation, so after saying that, he closed his mouth and said nothing.

After thinking about it for a while, Xue Du threw the pencil on the map, then grabbed the radio and shouted, "I'm Xue Du, Chunyun, insist on holding on, you must drag the devil." ”

"The Chunyun understands and swears to complete the mission." The captain of the Chunyun sent a reply, indicating what they meant.

The battle continued, becoming more and more intense, and the scars on the six Chinese warships were getting more and more, and the combat strength was less than sixty percent.

With a bang, the raging flames finally spread to the Chunyun's ammunition depot, causing the ammunition to detonate, and the violent explosion turned the Chunyun into a sea of fire, wrapped in flames that covered the sky and the sun.

"Commander, farewell!" This was the last telegram from the Chunyun, and then the warship sank quickly and disappeared into the river.

Holding the telegram in his hand, Xue Du's nose was sour, and a little tear appeared in his eyes, but he immediately endured it, "You are my best soldiers, and I am proud of you." ”

"Commander, what now?" Chief of Staff Jiang Da was in a hurry, and the two frigates that had broken away from the Chunyun's containment were turning around and heading in the direction of the flagship of the Changlong.

I was in a very unhappy mood last night, and I didn't bother to say anything, and I won't make any promises in the future!
