Jiang Hui has been the first mate of Liu Ergou for a long time, and the two of them have changed several warships together, and Jiang Hui can be said to know Liu Ergou's temper very well.

may be because he has been a pirate for many years, Liu Ergou has a banditry spirit, especially when he goes to the battlefield, Liu Ergou even has a bandit spirit when he commands the battle.

Seeing Liu Ergou's vicious posture, Jiang Hui did not persuade again, and directly passed Liu Ergou's meaning to the four main turrets of the Fuchang battleship.

However, what Jiang Hui didn't expect was that in the 12th round of main gun salvo of the Fuchang all-main gun battleship, two 356-mm shells accurately hit the all-steel battleship of the Eighth Fleet of the Golden Lion Imperial Navy 10,000 meters away.

What made Jiang Hui even more stunned was that one of the 356-mm shells should have detonated the ammunition compartment of the all-steel battleship, and immediately blew up the bow of the all-steel battleship.

The raging sea water poured into the ship's interior through the gap in the bow, and it was clear that the all-steel battleship was no longer saved.

"Haha! Looks like we're going to have to put a little pressure on these kids!

As soon as Lao Tzu scared them, he took out an all-steel battleship, perfect!

Command the four main turrets and shoot the first all-steel battleship on the left! ”

The all-steel battleship of the Eighth Fleet of the Golden Lion Imperial Navy, as more and more seawater poured into the hull from the bow, the stern of the ship quickly warped out of the sea, and finally the entire warship plunged vertically into the sea.

The all-steel battleship also became the first battleship to sink in this naval battle.

Seeing that an all-steel battleship had been sunk on his side, Captain Niok couldn't help but suggest to Commander Chevas: "Now on the opposite side of the Fifth Squadron, it seems that there are several all-main gun battleships with the largest main gun caliber in the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

Do you want the fifth team to avoid it? ”

The 16 all-main gun battleships, 8 battlecruisers, and 16 all-steel battleships of the Eighth Fleet of the Golden Lion Imperial Navy were divided into five teams, of which the fourth and fifth teams were composed of 8 all-steel battleships.

Commander Chevas shook his head and said with a very resolute attitude: "Order the Fifth Squadron to maintain formation, and it must entangle those battleships with all main guns of the enemy!"

We only have the 1st and 2nd teams as all-main gun battleships, and now we can only let the 4th and 5th teams go on top.

After the arrival of the fleet led by Admiral Nakola, our Eighth Fleet will not be under such pressure. ”

The capital ships of the two fleets bombarded each other for more than an hour, each suffering some losses.

The Fengming battleship of the second formation of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet suffered several 360-mm shells in succession, and finally overturned due to serious water ingress and sank into the sea.

The fourth formation, the battle cruiser Yongsui and the battle cruiser Yongwei, were sunk one after another in the battle with the opponent's eight battle cruisers for the "T" prefix.

So by half past one o'clock in the afternoon of February 24, the Southwestern Coastal Defense Fleet had sunk a total of 1 battleship with full main guns, 2 battlecruisers and 1 light cruiser.

As for the sunken light cruiser, it was all due to bad luck that it was hit by a 330-mm shell that was deflected more than 2000 meters and disappeared into the sea in less than 5 minutes.

The Eighth Fleet of the Golden Lion Empire suffered a larger number of losses, with a total of 2 battleships with full main guns and 5 large armored cruisers sunk.

After the Battle of Xiangshi Island and the Battle of Shark Island, not only did the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet know that battle cruisers were not suitable for fighting battleships, but even the Golden Lion Empire, which was the first to be equipped with battle cruisers in the beast countries, also knew how to use battle cruisers correctly.

Therefore, after the capital ships of both sides began to bombard, although the battle cruisers of both sides also opened fire, the battle cruisers of both sides soon began to try to seize the "T" prefix on the flanks.

However, the Eighth Fleet of the Golden Lion Empire only had a third squadron of eight agile-class battlecruisers, and the third squadron could only be responsible for one side of the flank.

The other side had to be handed over to the Sixth Squadron, which was composed of 12 large armored cruisers of the Eighth Fleet of the Golden Lion Imperial Navy.

And the opponent of this sixth squadron is the 12 German Seydlitz-class battle cruisers of the eighth formation of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

The battle lasted just over an hour, which also fully proved that the battle cruiser was worthy of the title of "cruiser killer".

The 12 battle cruisers of the 8th Formation of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet sank 5 large armored cruisers of the 8th Fleet of the Golden Lion Imperial Navy with little damage.

"Song Zhi, a very large fleet has appeared in the southeast, and the warships of this fleet are all flying the banner of the Golden Lion Empire!"

Chen Yongliang, the captain of the Ruixue, reported to Song Limin with a solemn face.

When Song Limin heard this, he hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked in the southeast direction, and sure enough, he could faintly see that one warship after another was rushing towards the battlefield, and there were a lot of them.

After Song Limin put down the binoculars, he said to Chen Yongliang in a deep voice: "Let the second column speed up to the battlefield."

Tell the five formations of the second column that a new situation has appeared on this side of the battlefield, and another naval fleet of the Golden Lion Empire has appeared on the battlefield. ”

"Song Zhi, it seems that the Golden Lion Empire has set a trap for our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet."

"Thanks to the marshal who has added 20 battleships with full main guns and 4 battle cruisers to our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, otherwise we won't be able to end up with our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet today."

Nakola, the commander of the Fourth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, is also one of the Golden Lion Empire's Valiant-class battleships with all main guns.

When Nakola saw the situation on the battlefield, he immediately ordered his fleet to split into two and outflank the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet from both flanks.

However, on the side of the Golden Lion Imperial Navy, the advantage of increasing this secret fleet has not yet been brought into play, and the five formations of the second column of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet have arrived.

Xie Vas, the commander of the Eighth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, slammed his fist on the table in front of him, "Those wastes of the Intelligence Bureau, I can't find out how many capital ships there are in the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires!"

Immediately send a telegram to General Nakola, and ask all the warships flanked on both flanks to retreat, beware of being counter-surrounded! ”

The captain of the Lizan, Neok, hesitated for a moment and said: "Commander, after these warships behind the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires appeared, there seems to be a big gap in strength between our Eighth Fleet and the fleet brought by General Nacora combined, can you consider ......it?"

Before he could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by Commander Chevas, "Major General Niok, don't bring up those two words.

Those two words are an insult to the Royal Navy of our Golden Lion Empire, all the officers and men of our Royal Navy in this battle must have the spirit of killing themselves to create miracles! ”

"Boom-" With a loud bang, the Furong all-main gun battleship of the 10th Provisional Formation of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet was hit by a large-caliber shell.

Wang Kui, the captain of the Furong, used the only remaining hand to hold on to the fixed iron table, so that he was not shocked by the explosion of the cannonball.

"Check the losses immediately, order the four main turrets to continue firing, and kill the battleship with all the main guns on the opposite side!" Wang Kui shouted loudly to several officers beside him.

This time, after Zhou Rui added 24 capital ships to the coastal defense fleet at once, Wang Kui was directly promoted from the first mate of the Tiangang all-main gun battleship of the third formation to the captain of the all-main gun battleship of the Furong of the tenth formation.

The Furong also belongs to the American Nevada-class all-main gun battleship, so it has rough skin and thick meat.

Counting this shell, the Furong battleship has already suffered 7 large-caliber shells, and the result is still alive and kicking, and its speed and firepower have not been affected in any way.

At this time, the naval battle had been fought until 6:30 p.m. on February 24, and the sky was gradually darkening.

However, neither of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet nor the Navy of the Golden Lion Empire had any intention of stopping, and they were ready to continue fighting and start a night battle with each other.

Soon Liang Baozhong, the first mate of the Furong, ran back to the bridge, "Captain, the shell just now hit the vicinity of the No. 2 main turret, only one 127 mm secondary gun was damaged, and the No. 2 main turret was intact. ”

When Wang Kui heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he had just become the captain of a battleship with all main guns, and it was really exciting to experience such a big scene.

"Thanks to the Furong for fighting the beating.

Baozhong, how many shells did we take? ”

"This is already the 7th round, and it was all fired by the battleship with all main guns on the opposite side."

Wang Kui gritted his teeth and said, "Tell the brothers of the four main turrets to aim and fight!" ”

As soon as Wang Kui's words fell, in the distance, the Golden Lion Imperial Navy's all-main gun battleship that was bombarded with the Furong had a continuous explosion, and then the entire hull was blown into two pieces, and quickly sank to the sea.

Wang Kui couldn't help but be stunned, "Is this what our Furong called?" ”

A major officer in the bridge said with a wry smile: "Captain, it seems that the two shells of the Fuchang of the ninth formation hit the battleship with all main guns, which caused a big explosion of the battleship with all main guns." ”

The capital ships of the 9th and 10th Formations have formed a long battle line under the intentional command of Song Limin, and the 16 "Fu"-class battleships with all main guns of the two formations have formed a long battle line.

The Furong happened to be adjacent to the Fuchang where Liu Ergou was located, and they were in an adjacent position on the battle line.

"Damn! Two dogs of shit luck!

Dare to snatch food in the mouth of our Furong, and when this naval battle is over, I have to make him bleed once! ”

Wang Kui's mouth was scolding, but his face was full of envy.

It was only witnessed by him with his own eyes, counting the one just now, the Fuchang commanded by Liu Ergou had already sunk two all-main gun battleships of the Golden Lion Imperial Navy.

I want shit luck like that, too!
