Chapter 1020: Summary of the Japanese Campaign
Anti-piracy chapter,There's something going on today.,Let's change 2 chapters first~~~
However, if the friendly army is in trouble, it is absolutely impossible for the side to move like a mountain, and after this matter is over, it will be court-martialed! In Germany. After Vice Admiral La Perel said that his 3 super dreadnoughts and 2 dreadnoughts, as well as the first armored cruiser detachment would arrive soon, Vice Admiral Lebris finally got into action!
And when the French fleet went out in a mighty way, they happened to run into two Allied destroyers that were on guard nearby, and when the two German destroyers were about to send a warning telegram, the searchlights that suddenly swept from the side and rear instantly covered these two poor little guys! After all, the two German destroyers still did not find the second armored cruiser detachment hidden on the other side outside the port, and the three armored cruisers used dense high-explosive shells to get rid of the guard post reserved by the Germans in a few minutes, and because of the blocking of the breakwater and the noisy environment, the German fleet did not notice the abnormality next to it at the first time.

At this time, the two Guba-class battleships and the other two Danton-class battleships Vigno and Mirabeau had already opened the battle line, and the other three armored cruisers had secretly approached the German fleet under the cover of night!
If someone opens God's perspective at this time, then they will find that the deployment of the French is very reasonable, and it can even be said that this is the most shrewd tactical decision of the French in the entire campaign. The main French fleet was hidden in the night, and they chose to sail parallel to the German fleet. But the accompanying detachments of armored cruisers and destroyers did not follow the actions of the main fleet, but secretly went to the side of the extension of the course of the German fleet!
This deployment may seem simple, but it allows the French to navigate almost all situations. The German fleet was backed by a large number of "torches", so even if no one lit it, the French could still lock on their opponents relatively easily. And when the French capital battleships opened fire, although theoretically the German fleet could counterattack through muzzle flames, the effect was definitely not good, what would Count Spee do at this time? Naturally, it immediately sped up and hid the fleet in the darkness again!
And at this time, detachments of armored cruisers and destroyers deployed slightly higher in positions will come into play! The two sides can quickly approach because of the problem of the route, and at this time, the destroyer lights and launches torpedoes, the capital ship hangs and fires at a long distance, and the armored cruiser rushes up to paste his face at close range! That's what the so-called indiscriminate punching of the master to death means!
The fast battleships of Count Spee's fleet were indeed NB, and the ships were strong and the guns were sharp! But what? A dozen destroyers at close range directly threw dozens of torpedoes, are you afraid ?! 3 armored cruisers and nearly 40 12-inch artillery high-explosive shells suddenly washed the deck, are you afraid?
What if this wave can't be extinguished? It doesn't matter if even one of them can't be sunk, as long as you can slow down a certain battleship and keep in touch, it's no problem, brother's boss will come soon, a telegram will be over, and then 5 dreadnoughts and more than a dozen other warships will be pulled! The so-called perfect start and the middle crash are talking about you! Although the Dandong have suffered heavy losses, as long as they can completely defeat a super dreadnought, then this is not a loss!
Nearly half an hour before the battle, Vice Admiral Le Briss had cleared the door! Now that's all that's left to do! In his opinion, the current French fleet is almost in the best of the engagement situation! It's mainly a step-by-step waiting for the opponent to walk into his trap!
A series of fireballs rose into the air not far from the sea. The blinding light once again tore through the silent night sky. In the eyes of the officers and men of the Allied fleet, this blow came so suddenly! Dark red light moved rapidly in the air, and after more than ten seconds, they fell into the surroundings of the German fleet, and the columns of water that rose into the air almost covered half of the fleet.
"Accelerate the disengagement! Let's go back into the night! "I don't know the size of the opponent, I don't know the configuration of the opponent, and even the figure of the opponent is floating in the background of the rangefinder! ...... in such a disadvantageous situation. Hit the hair! Obviously, it's the king to talk about it for the time being! What should I do if I am attacked? The recklessness of a tendon is absolutely a problem with the head, and the key is to stabilize the situation first. In the earl's opinion, the best choice at this time is to evacuate at high speed first, slow down first, and then decide whether to fight or leave after everyone hides in the night!
Although the count reacted quickly and the message was conveyed quickly, the battleship was not a sports car after all, and it took a long time to accelerate. And the French at this time were sailing at 18 knots, which was faster than the German fleet! Therefore, during the period of contact again, the distance between the two sides was shortened, and I have to say that Lieutenant General Lebris's luck and the timing of the engagement were very good! This is when the Allied fleet is at its weakest!
The Sultan Osman I was the first to be hit, a 12-inch shell hit the horizontal deck, lighting a small fire, while another hit the top of the No. 4 turret, which bounced off but still shattered the rangefinder on the top of the turret. The Taghoff, which was in third place, was also taken care of, and the two Danton-class battleships lined up behind threw shells at the battleship one after another, first a hole was made in the secondary armor belt at the bow, and then the turret of the second turret was hit twice, and the violent vibration directly damaged part of the turret's rotating equipment, and the two thick barrels were stuck at 11 o'clock.
Although with this heavy armor, the damage caused by the opponent's long-range attacks is not large, but for the German fleet, this is only the beginning! Under the cover of night and battleship fire, the French destroyers had already sneakily rushed up!
"Something seems to be over there." Ensign Hall on the V112 destroyer saw what seemed to be a silvery-white thing moving rapidly on the surface of the sea in the distance, and he could barely see this guy if it hadn't been for the searchlight sweeping just now! Good training and extremely high vigilance made him not dare to be careless, and the two searchlights on the mast of this destroyer began to sweep towards the target, and the light of thousands of candles swept through the night in an instant, sweeping out a pillar of light that was hundreds of square meters in the night!
"It seems to be ......." Just as Ensign Hall was about to confirm the identity of the other party, a barrage of shells had been fired from the opposite side, shattering one of the searchlights into pieces. Ensign Hall is still too young, fighting this thing at night, and discovering an unknown ship, don't say a word, fight first for respect! Generally speaking, there is more than 70% certainty that it will hit the opponent's warship!
