After winning the Battle of Shark Island, the main force of the coastal defense fleet withdrew to Crescent Island on the evening of March 3.

This time, the coastal defense fleet was sunk in addition to 4 battleships with full main guns, 1 battle cruiser, 3 large armored cruisers and 6 light cruisers.

Several warships were badly damaged and even had to be towed by other warships before they could return to Crescent Island, including the Yongsui battlecruiser that had played a major role in the Battle of Shark Island.

The Yongsui battlecruiser immediately became the target of public criticism after successfully attacking the full-main gun battleship of the Red Horned Eagle, the flagship of the Silver Wolf Imperial Navy.

Seven or eight large-caliber shells and two torpedoes were fired, but fortunately, with the thickness of the armor of the Yongsui battlecruiser, it was lucky not to be sunk in the end.

In addition, the main force of the coastal defense fleet, on the way back to Crescent Island, also unexpectedly encountered two Orion-class battleships with full main guns, as well as the Pinghai, Anhai, and Feirong.

Since the naval battle of Shark Island lasted for more than ten hours, in fact, the five warships that set off from Jingsheng Port still had enough time to rush to the battlefield to participate in this naval battle.

It is a pity that these five warships actually took the wrong course, so that the two all-main gun battleships with the strongest firepower of the coastal defense fleet at present did not have a chance to show their skills in the naval battle of Shark Island.

If the two Orion-class battleships with full main guns can arrive at the battlefield in time, perhaps the results of the coastal defense fleet in the naval battle of Shark Island can be even greater.

After the coastal defense fleet returned to Crescent Island, Song Limin, deputy commander-in-chief of the coastal defense fleet, after consulting Zhou Rui, directly removed the temporary captains and first officers of the two Orion-class battleships with full main guns and transferred them to other warships.

The captains and first officers of the Pinghai, Anhai and Feirong were also demoted by one rank.

At about 10 o'clock in the evening of the day when the coastal defense fleet returned to Crescent Island, Liu Ergou was called by Song Limin to the temporary headquarters on Crescent Island.

"Ergou, you did a good job this time, and you can be regarded as making the first contribution in this naval battle.

If it weren't for you leading the battle cruiser Yongsui and sinking the opponent's flagship, I don't know what the final result of the Battle of Shark Island would have been. ”

At this time, Liu Ergou's face, although he tried his best to ensure composure, still couldn't hide his excitement.

Ever since he learned that he had led the Yongsui battle cruiser to sink the opponent's flagship, Liu Ergou felt that when he walked, both legs were a little fluttery.

Liu Ergou hurriedly said modestly: "Song Zhi, it was my luck that the blind cat met the dead mouse."

At that time, I was not in that battleship, which was the flagship of the Silver Wolf Empire's Navy, and I didn't expect that choosing a random one would actually make the Yongsui win the jackpot. ”

"Haha, Ergou, luck is also part of strength.

By the way, how is the situation on the Yongsui? ”

Hearing Song Limin ask about the situation of the Yongsui battle cruiser, the excitement on Liu Ergou's face disappeared instantly.

Song pointed out that Yongsui was too seriously injured this time.

I heard from several dockyard technicians that without a few months of overhaul, the Yongsui would not want to go to sea again.

Moreover, the casualties of the officers and men of the Yongsui were also very large, including 179 killed in battle and dozens of wounded. ”

Song Limin nodded, and said with some emotion: "In this naval battle of Shark Island, our coastal defense fleet was able to win, which can be said to be obtained from the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers.

However, the sacrifices of these soldiers were not in vain, and our coastal defense fleet has created a miracle after all! ”

Since the six major orc nations entered this world through different time and space nodes, in terms of naval warfare, humans have never defeated the navy of any orc country.

In the Battle of Xiangshi Island, the coastal defense fleet was not considered a victory due to its losses far exceeding the navy of the Silver Wolf Empire.

And the Battle of Shark Island, no matter what, the number of warships lost by the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Imperial Navy was more than that of the coastal defense fleet, even if it was the loss of capital ships, the coastal defense fleet was 5 to 6, which was less than the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Imperial Navy.

And the coastal defense fleet also killed the opponent's flagship, which can be regarded as a real victory.

Then Song Limin said again: "Ergou, I called you over so late because I have something to tell you."

With the approval of the Rear Admiral, you will be transferred to the USS Ruixue as the captain of the battleship, what do you think about this? ”

Idea? What can you think!

The Ruixue is one of the two Orion-class battleships with full main guns, and the other is named the Ruifeng.

Sure enough, it was a matter of wealth and danger, and how long did he join the coastal defense fleet, and he was about to be promoted to the captain of a battleship with all main guns.

It seems that the highest pursuit of life that I have set is a bit low, and it has only been achieved in a few months.

"Song Zhi, I listen to you, I will go wherever you let me go."

Song Limin couldn't help but smile and said: "Not only is your kid lucky, but his kung fu is not weak."

You'll report early tomorrow morning!

The officers and men on the Ruixue were basically urgently transferred from some old ships.

Since these officers and men had just been transferred over, they were not very familiar with the Ruixue, and now the Ruixue can be said to be nothing more than an empty shelf.

You must hurry up and make Rui Xue have combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

In this naval battle of Shark Island, although our coastal defense fleet brought a lot of losses to the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy, most of the warships on the other side successfully escaped.

And on the side of Xiangshi Island, there is also the expeditionary fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire, and the battle of our coastal defense fleet is not over yet. ”

Originally, the fierce battle in Xiangshi Island had already shocked the entire Han and Tang Empires.

It was a fully organized group army of the Silver Wolf Empire, and it was also the Fourteenth Army of the Royal Army of the Silver Wolf Empire, which was known as the elite.

As a result, after many days of fierce battles on Xiangshi Island, the 14th Army not only did not defeat the Zhou army troops on Xiangshi Island, but suffered very heavy losses on its own, which was simply a bit of a dream!

However, what is even more fantastic is still to come, the coastal defense fleet of the Zhou family in Ganyang was able to defeat the main force of the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy in the Battle of Shark Island, causing it to sink more than 20 warships, including 2 battleships with full main guns and 4 battleships with all steel.

Soon the news of the naval battle of Shark Island made the front page headlines of newspapers all over the Han and Tang Empires, and many ordinary people of the Han and Tang Empires saw that the coastal defense fleet of the Ganyang Zhou family was able to defeat the powerful Silver Wolf Empire Navy.

Even spontaneously bought firecrackers to celebrate, making many cities of the Han and Tang Empires seem to have returned to Chinese New Year's Eve.

On the afternoon of March 6, in a study in the Cui Mansion in Ganyang City, Cui Hong, the head of the Cui family, said to Chen Xian, the head of the Chen family, in a deep voice: "Brother Chen, some of our recent actions in Ganyang City must be stopped.

Our Cui family got a piece of news that the smell of gunpowder between the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire is getting stronger and stronger, and if you don't get it, these two beast countries may fight.

Coupled with this Shark Island naval battle, I'm worried that the Silver Wolf Empire will be at peace. ”

Chen Xian frowned and said, "Is it possible for the Silver Wolf Empire to succumb?" That's the Silver Wolf Empire! ”

"Don't forget the Zhou family's coastal defense fleet, even if it sank 5 all-main gun battleships in the Battle of Shark Island, it still has 20 all-main gun battleships.

With such a large number of battleships with all main guns, they are no longer the navy of the Silver Wolf Empire, and they can be destroyed if they are destroyed.

What's more, the Silver Wolf Empire also has to consider that if its naval losses are too great, it will let the Flying Leopard Empire's navy take advantage of it. ”

The Silver Wolf Empire did not announce to the public that the coastal defense fleet had battle cruisers, so the outside world believed that the coastal defense fleet dispatched 25 battleships with all main guns in the naval battle of Shark Island.

Chen Xian said with a wry smile: "The Zhou family is really a little weird, where did those all-main gun battleships in the naval battle of Shark Island come from?" ”

Cui Hong sighed, "No matter where the Zhou family got those all-main gun battleships, it will be terrible news for you and me. ”

As soon as Cui Hong's voice fell, the door of the study was suddenly opened, and Cui Wentao walked in with a telegram, "Father, the news just came that the Zhou family has captured Huitong City and Yiguang City!" ”

Cui Hong was stunned for a moment, then snatched the telegram from Cui Wentao's hand, and after reading it quickly, he said to Chen Xian a little lonely: "Brother Chen, the Zhou family is no longer something that you and I can compete with, you and I should make plans early!" ”

Zhao Yan, who was on the way, also learned the news of the victory of the coastal defense fleet in the naval battle of Shark Island.

"Sister Dan, do you think this is possible?" Zhao Yan asked her assistant Zou Dan in disbelief.

Zou Dan put down the newspaper in his hand, and then said in a deep voice: "Miss, since they are all on the front page of the newspaper, it shouldn't be fake." ”

"But how could the Zhou family have so many battleships with all main guns? The Zhou family is just a local family!

At the beginning, in order to increase the strength of the coastal defense fleet, Zhou Rui even bought some ironclad battleships that were eliminated by the Silver Wolf Empire Navy at a high price.

With so many battleships with full main guns, why bother selling those broken copper and iron at a high price? ”

Zou Dan shook his head, "Miss, I don't even know about you, and I don't know about it."

However, after the Battle of Shark Island ended, it was not so easy for the Silver Wolf Empire to destroy the Zhou family. ”

"Yes! Even if some warships were lost in the Battle of Shark Island, the Zhou family's coastal defense fleet still had 20 battleships with full main guns, maybe the Zhou family could create a miracle in the face of the Silver Wolf Empire this time. ”

"Miss, shall we continue to rush to Heavenly Saint City?"

Zhao Yan shook her head, "Even if we go back now, it is impossible for Zhou Rui and I to go back to the past."

What's more, whether the Zhou family can survive this hurdle depends on the choice of the Silver Wolf Empire in the end.

If the Silver Wolf Empire had to destroy the Zhou family, it would be impossible to shelter the Zhou family through this crisis with only 20 battleships with all main guns.

Let's continue our journey and return to the Heavenly Holy City first. ”

To tell the truth, Zhao Yan even felt a little lost in her heart because the Zhou family's coastal defense fleet won the Battle of Shark Island.

Did you make the wrong choice?
