Chapter 123: Win

What Liu Ergou didn't know was that the Silver Wolf Empire battleship that the Yongsui battlecruiser risked to attack was the Red Horned Eagle all-main gun battleship where Yelk was located, which was the flagship of the Silver Wolf Imperial Navy in this naval battle.

Even more fortunately, the Yongsui battlecruiser hit two 305-mm shells of the Red Horned Eagle full main gun battleship, one of which detonated an ammunition compartment of the Red Horned Eagle full main gun battleship, and finally caused the Red Horned Eagle full main gun battleship to sink to the bottom of the sea in the detonation of hundreds of tons of shells.

Another 305-mm shell hit the bridge of the battleship Red Horned Eagle, causing Yerk to be seriously injured.

Although with the efforts of the first mate Oss and others, Yelk was transferred to the lifeboat before the Red Horned Eagle battleship sank.

Yerk was then transferred to a large armored cruiser, but Yerk was knocked out of consciousness because he injured his head.

The sinking of the Red Horned Eagle battleship with all main guns, coupled with Yerk's unconscious again, made the remaining warships of the Silver Wolf Empire's Navy involuntarily appear in command confusion.

By the time Osipu, the captain of the Silver Wolf Imperial Navy's Purple Thunderbird all-main gun battleship, took over the command, it had been almost an hour and a half since Yelk was seriously injured.

In this hour and a half, the coastal defense fleet seized the opportunity of the chaos in the Silver Wolf Empire's navy and sank and damaged a number of Silver Wolf Empire's warships, including sinking a Silver Wolf Empire's Hunting Knife-class all-main gun battleship.

Considering that after the start of the night battle, his side suffered heavy losses in succession, Osip, who took over the command, immediately issued the order to retreat.

This kind of opportunity to beat the water dogs did not even require Song Limin to give an order to pursue, and the officers and men of the coastal defense fleet, who had killed the red-eyed ones, began to chase after them in a swarm.

However, the navy of the Silver Wolf Empire is worthy of the title of elite.

Although it was a defeat, the surviving warships of the Silver Wolf Empire, under the command of Osip, were still able to maintain a relatively tight formation.

Song Limin saw that there was no chance to take advantage, so he gave the order to stop the pursuit, and finally let dozens of surviving warships of the Silver Wolf Empire leave the battlefield.

In the early morning of March 3, the all-steel battleship Rifukaze and the large armored cruiser Qingjie of the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Imperial Navy were already surrounded by many warships of the coastal defense fleet.

The two warships of the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Imperial Navy were already scarred at this time, the all-steel battleship of the Lufeng even lost power, and the hull of the large armored cruiser Qingjie was also seriously tilted.

The all-steel battleship Ryfze had a full load displacement of 17,900 tons and was armed with two twin 40-caliber 320 mm guns.

Inside the bridge of the Ridowind, the first mate said to Captain Polypu, "Colonel, the other side has waved the flag for us to surrender. ”

Polip asked in a deep voice, "Pav, can our naval guns still shoot?" ”

"Colonel, there is also a main gun and a couple of secondary guns to shoot."

"Keep shooting! If we surrender to humanity, it will bring the entire Royal Navy, and indeed the entire Empire, to shame on us! ”

First Officer Puff nodded with a serious expression, "Please rest assured, Colonel, all the officers and men of our RyΕ«feng are ready to serve the empire!" ”

Polipp patted the first mate Pav on the shoulder, "Send a final farewell telegram to Brigadier General Osip!" ”

Hearing this, the first mate Pav couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Colonel, the radio station has been blown up, and it is no longer possible to receive and receive telegrams. ”

"It doesn't matter, the Empire will remember us!"

In the bridge of the Zhenhai, the flagship of the coastal defense fleet, the captain Chen Yongliang said to Song Limin with some excitement: "According to incomplete statistics, our coastal defense fleet is in the naval battle of Shark Island.

Sink at least 2 all-main gun battleships, 3 all-steel battleships, 4 large armored cruisers, 6 light cruisers, and 6 destroyers of the Silver Wolf Imperial Navy.

And that's not counting 1 all-steel battleship and 1 large armored cruiser surrounded by us.

When such a record spreads, it will definitely cause a sensation in the whole world! ”

Song Limin's face did not show any excitement or excitement, although this naval battle was regarded as a victory for the coastal defense fleet, the coastal defense fleet also paid considerable losses.

The third formation sank 2 battleships with full main guns: Fengluan and Fengcai.

The 8th formation sank 2 battleships with full main guns: Longrui and Longyin.

The fifth formation sank 1 battle cruiser: Yongning.

The seventh formation sank 3 large armored cruisers: the Seabird, the Seaseal and the Sea Lion.

The six light cruisers sunk by the task force: Ganyang No. 3, Ganyang No. 4, Ganyang No. 6, Ganyang No. 9, Ganyang No. 11 and Ganyang No. 12.

The remaining warships were almost all wounded, and several of them were seriously injured.

What made Song Limin even more distressed was that because there were many sharks in the sea area where the battle was fighting, some officers and men of the coastal defense fleet who jumped into the sea to escape finally escaped from the sunken warship, but died in the mouth of the shark.

Of course, because of the existence of many sharks, the coastal defense fleet did not catch a single wolf captive.

"It seems that the two warships of the Silver Wolf Empire are not ready to surrender, and they are still firing cannons.

The task force was ordered to send two light cruisers over and carry out a torpedo attack, without further delay. Song Limin said in a deep voice to Chen Yongliang, the captain of the Zhenhai.

Chen Yongliang saw Song Limin's gloomy face, thinking that the coastal defense fleet had also sunk more than a dozen warships, and the excitement on his face disappeared, "I'll send a telegram to the task force immediately!" ”

"You can also send a report to the major general!

No matter what, our coastal defense fleet lived up to the expectations of the rear admiral, and we won this naval battle of Shark Island! ”

In fact, there was no need for the coastal defense fleet to send a telegram to Zhou Rui, and at this time Zhou Rui already knew the news of the victory of the coastal defense fleet.

Because the lottery system prompted Zhou Rui to complete the task of "winning the Battle of Shark Island" when Fo Xiao, he rewarded Zhou Rui with a four-star lottery card and 40 points.

After getting another 40 points, Zhou Rui's points have accumulated to 190 points, only 10 points are missing, and Zhou Rui can be promoted to level 3 at the level of the lottery system.

When Zhou Rui's level reaches level 3, he can get a three-star lottery card from the lottery system at the beginning of each month.

You must know that the rewards offered by the three-star lottery card are much more generous than the two-star lottery card.

The four-star lottery card he got was immediately used by Zhou Rui, and a total of eight rewards were issued.

50 kg gold bricks (120,000 pieces)

Power plant (1)

Shell factory (1)

Russian Irrational-class destroyers (24 units)

German Wiesbaden-class light cruisers (12 ships)

German Scharnhorst-class armored cruisers (12 units)

Moltke-class battlecruisers (4 units)

British Orion-class battleships (4 units)

120,000 gold bricks weighing 50 kilograms are equivalent to giving Zhou Rui another 600 million silver coins.

According to the introduction of the lottery system, the power plant includes eight 100,000 kilowatt generating units, as well as various supporting equipment.

The artillery shell factory can produce various types of shells, even up to 600 mm shells, and the artillery shell factory also has production lines for various types of torpedoes.

Zhou Rui is worried about how to replenish shells and torpedoes for the coastal defense fleet, if the artillery factory rewarded by the lottery system can be built, then the problem of replenishing shells and torpedoes for the coastal defense fleet will be solved.

The five warships that were opened, including the German Wiesbaden-class light cruisers, the German Moltke-class battlecruisers, and the British Orion-class battleships, have all been driven before.

The other two warships are newly opened.

The Russian Reason-class destroyer has a full load displacement of 1320 tons and a maximum speed of 34 knots.

It was armed with 3 102-mm guns, 2 47-mm anti-aircraft guns, 4 machine guns, 5 twin 457-mm torpedo tubes, and the full crew was 125 people.

German Scharnhorst-class armored cruiser with a full load displacement of 12,985 tons and a maximum speed of 23.5 knots.

It was armed with 8 40x caliber 210 mm main guns, 6 40x caliber 150 mm secondary guns, 16 88 mm secondary guns, and 4 450 mm torpedo tubes.

The broadside armor belt was from 76 mm to 150 mm, the main deck armor was 63 mm, the main turret armor was 180 mm, and the full crew was 820 people.

Peg, the commander of the Silver Wolf Empire's expeditionary fleet, after receiving a telegram from the captain of the Purple Thunderbird, Osipp, said with a bitter face: "I didn't expect the Third Fleet to lose so badly, and even the entire main gun battleship was sunk by 2.

Commodore Yerk was still in a coma even now, and Commodore Yerk should have led the fleet to retreat.

After all, 25 battleships or battle cruisers equipped with full main guns suddenly appeared in the Zhoujia coastal defense fleet, but unfortunately there is no place in the world to buy regret medicine. ”

Onusha, the captain of the battleship of the Devil's Claw Eagle with full main guns, hesitated for a moment and comforted: "Vice Admiral, the Third Fleet is not considered a defeat, after all, it sank five battleships or battle cruisers equipped with all main guns on the other side. ”

Peg shook his head, "Defeat is defeat, and I will take responsibility for this defeat." ”

"Vice Admiral, the strength of the Third Fleet still exists, and we still have 6 all-main gun battleships, 4 all-steel battleships, 6 large armored cruisers, 12 light cruisers, and 12 destroyers here.

If it is combined with the Third Fleet, there is still a chance to completely defeat the coastal defense fleet of the Zhou family! ”

Peg sighed and said, "Onusha, we can't just think about a small human family.

The Empire is on the side of our Spirit World, and the conflict with the Flying Leopard Empire has been getting bigger and bigger recently, and it is likely that a war will break out.

The First Fleet has drawn a number of warships and returned to the Spirit World. ”

Onusa said with some frustration: "That Zhou family's coastal defense fleet, there are at least 20 battleships or battle cruisers equipped with all main guns.

Then if we want to defeat the Zhou family's coastal defense fleet, we will inevitably have to pay a considerable price.

If the Spirit Clan World wants to go to war with the Flying Leopard Empire, our side really can't fight hard with the Zhou family's coastal defense fleet anymore. ”
