At about nine o'clock in the morning of June 3, 3014 in the Tang calendar, in a sea area along the coast of the Noomi Empire, two fleets were exchanging fire, one of which was the broken fleet sent by the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire to the waters near the Noomi Empire, and the other was the encirclement and suppression fleet sent by the Royal Navy of Noomi.

The breaking fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire includes four King Kong-class battle cruisers, four large armored cruisers, four light cruisers, eight destroyers and six military transport ships, while the encirclement and suppression fleet of the Noomi Royal Navy includes six Fighter-class battlecruisers, six large armored cruisers, ten light cruisers and ten destroyers.

After the above-mentioned Tang Empire Royal Navy broke the diplomatic fleet and destroyed the three civilian ports of the Noomi Empire in a row, it finally provoked the Emperor Edgrew of the Noomi Empire, and the Emperor Edgrew then ordered that some of the super dreadnought battleships, battle cruisers and dreadnought battleships in active service of the Noomi Royal Navy also joined the encirclement and suppression fleets, hoping to eliminate the Tang Empire Navy, the fleet that was ravaging the coast of the Noomi Empire.

Early this morning, the Noomi Royal Navy, an encirclement and suppression fleet dominated by six Fighter-class battle cruisers, finally discovered the whereabouts of the Tang Imperial Navy's broken fleet.

At this time, the distance between the two fleets was about nineteen kilometers, and the main guns of the battle cruisers on both sides had already launched a bombardment, and the other warships did not open fire, after all, only the main guns of the battle cruisers could pose a threat to the other side at this distance, and the range of the main guns of the other warships was not enough.

In the bridge of the Jinxiang-class battlecruiser, Huang Rui, the captain of the Jinxiang, frowned and said to Liu Xiang, the first mate beside him: "I didn't expect the Noomi Navy to send the battlecruiser out so quickly, where is the backup fleet now?" ”

Huang Rui, the captain of the Jinxiang, is also the temporary commander of the broken fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire.

First mate Liu Xiang said with a smile: "The support fleet has been contacted, and the current support fleet is about ninety nautical miles north of us, since the Noomi Navy is willing to send out the battle cruisers, then we just cooperate with the support fleet to eat the six battle cruisers of the Noomi Navy." ”

Wang Chengliang, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, and Zhang Qihui, deputy commander-in-chief, took into account the lack of strength of the three fleets, and sent three additional support fleets to the waters near Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi.

The support fleet that came to the waters off the coast of the Noomi Empire was composed of warships drawn from the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, including four Nagato-class super dreadnought battleships, four Hood-class battlecruisers, three Baltimore-class heavy cruisers, six light cruisers, and ten destroyers.

In fact, the two support fleets that rushed to the waters of Yingluoba and Sharad were also sent by the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire.

Su Yi left all the fourteen Nagato-class super dreadnought battleships and fourteen Hood-class battlecruisers rewarded by the system in the First Fleet.

The capital ships of the three support fleets are four Nagato-class super dreadnought battleships and four Hood-class battle cruisers, and it is precisely because the capital ships of the three support fleets are just extracted by Su Yi, so the intelligence department of the Noomi Empire did not find that there is another fleet of the Tang Empire Navy, which appeared in the open sea of the Noomi Empire, after all, many of the capital ships of the Datang Empire Navy, which are known to the intelligence department of the Noomi Empire, are still in the various military ports of the Tang Empire.

Huang Rui, the captain of the Jinxiang, nodded and said, "Then send a report to the support fleet, tell the support fleet the direction of our evacuation, and let the support fleet meet us." ”

First mate Liu Xiang rubbed his hands and said: "I can finally do a big job, it's really not interesting to always shell some civilian ports." ”

The broken fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, while retreating to the open sea of the Noomi Empire, was pressed by four King Kong-class battlecruisers at the rear, and shelled the encirclement and suppression fleet of the pursuing Noomi Royal Navy, and the main target of the attack was the six Fighter-class battlecruisers of the Noomi Royal Navy.

In the bridge of the Noomi Royal Navy Fighter-class battle cruiser Judith, Igor, the captain of the Judith, looked at the four battle cruisers of the Tang Imperial Navy in the distance, gritted his teeth and said to the first mate Cassit: "We must not let this fleet of the Tang Empire run away today, and send a telegram to the fleet led by Lavro, so that they can come and join us as much as possible, and strive to destroy this fleet of the Tang Empire." ”

Igor, the captain of the Judith, is the temporary commander of the encirclement fleet of the Noomi Royal Navy, and the fleet he refers to is another encirclement fleet composed of six ocean-class super dreadnought battleships, three dreadnought battleships, four former dreadnought battleships, five ironclad battleships, and more than 20 other warships.

Originally, the encirclement and suppression fleet of these two Noomi Royal Navy should actually be one, but considering the speed of the battleships, these warships were divided into two encirclement and suppression fleets, and the current location of these two encirclement and suppression fleets is not far apart.

First mate Cassie frowned and said: "Captain, the fleet led by Viscount Lavro originally had a disadvantage in terms of speed, and now the fleet of the Tang Empire is obviously preparing to run all the way to the north, I think it is difficult for the fleet led by Viscount Lavro to catch up." ”

Captain Igor said in a deep voice: "Although we have six battle cruisers, and this fleet of the Tang Empire only has four battle cruisers, but it is not so easy for us to completely destroy this fleet of the Tang Empire, we must let the fleet led by Lavro come up to support it, and we will try to entangle this fleet of the Tang Empire first." ”

As soon as Captain Igor's words fell, the Noomi Royal Navy Fighter-class battlecruiser Natalie was hit by a 356 mm shell, which destroyed one of the Natalie's main gun turrets at once, and also caused a large fire, and soon on top of the Natalie, smoke rose dozens of meters high.

The corners of the captain's mouth twitched slightly, this is already the main gun of the armored cruiser of the Tang Empire, and the third Noomi Royal Navy battlecruiser hit, and the main guns of the six battlecruisers of the Noomi Royal Navy, but none of the shells can hit the battlecruiser of the Tang Empire.

Such a disparity in the hit rate made Captain Igor's heart secretly feel a little uneasy, but Captain Igor did not show the uneasiness in his heart.

Captain Igor pondered for a moment and said: "Pass my order to shorten the distance between the two battle cruisers a little closer, now the distance between the two sides is close to 20,000 meters, and the shooting accuracy of our Gladiator-class main guns is too low at this distance." ”

First mate Cassie hesitated for a moment and said, "Captain, after the distance is closer, the hit rate of the main guns of the opponent's battle cruiser may be higher." ”

Captain Igor waved his hand and said: "Then you can't be beaten passively all the time, just do as I say!" ”

Although the battle cruisers on both sides are equipped with 45 times the caliber 356 mm main guns, the King Kong-class main guns on the side of the Tang Empire are much stronger than the Fighter class of the Noomi Empire in terms of range and shooting accuracy, which makes the main guns of the six Fighter class and the four King Kong-class dueling, and it turns out that the six Fighter class are temporarily at a disadvantage.

At this time, a fighter class of the Noomi Royal Navy had broken away from the main force of the Noomi Royal Navy's encirclement and suppression fleet because it was seriously injured, while only two of the four King Kong-class battlecruisers of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire had suffered minor injuries, which basically did not have much impact on combat effectiveness.

However, soon the roles of the two fleets switched, and the encirclement fleet of the Noomi Royal Navy began to turn around and flee, while the broken fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire turned around and launched a pursuit.

The reason why such a role reversal occurred was because a backup fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire appeared.

In the bridge of the battlecruiser Judith of the Noomi Royal Navy, Captain Igor's face was very ugly, "Didn't the intelligence department say that many of the capital ships of the various fleets of the Tang Empire are still staying in the various military ports of the Tang Empire?" And where did those super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers that suddenly appeared in front of them come from? ”

The first mate, Cassit, said urgently: "Captain, we must join the fleet led by Viscount Lavro as soon as possible, otherwise we will ......"

Before the first mate Cassitt could finish speaking, a violent explosion was heard on the sea, and the battle cruiser Natalie of the Royal Navy Noomi was hit by another 356 mm shell and detonated an ammunition magazine.

Although the Natalie was not immediately sunk by the bombing, the Natalie's condition was very bad, the speed of the ship dropped in an instant, and it quickly came to a complete halt.

Captain Igor slowly lowered the binoculars, and his face became even more ugly, "Natalie is finished, even if it won't sink, it won't be able to escape." ”

In the end, the Noomi Royal Navy encirclement fleet led by Igor successfully merged with another encirclement and suppression fleet dominated by eighteen battleships, but at this time, the encirclement and suppression fleet led by Igor was only two Fighter-class battlecruisers, three large armored cruisers, six light cruisers and seven destroyers.

One Fighter-class battlecruiser was sunk, and the other three Fighter-class battlecruisers were all captured by the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire after being seriously injured because they could not escape, and as for the other warships lost by the encirclement and suppression fleet, they were also either sunk or seriously injured and captured.

After the appearance of a Noomi naval fleet dominated by eighteen battleships, the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, which pursued the four Hood-class battlecruisers, four Kongo-class battlecruisers, and four Nagato-class super dreadnought battleships, immediately suspended the pursuit.

The speed of the Nagato-class super dreadnought battleship is not slow, and the maximum speed can reach 26.5 knots, so when pursuing, it can keep up with the speed of the other eight battlecruisers.

Although there was another fleet of the Noomi Navy, and it also had six super dreadnought battleships and twelve other battleships, the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire did not have the slightest fear, and the four Nagato-class super dreadnought battleships and four Hood-class battlecruisers immediately formed a battle line and met it with great momentum.

The armor of the Hood-class battlecruisers was relatively no worse than that of the average super dreadnought, so they dared to join the battle line, while the four Kong-class battlecruisers quickly retreated to the back of their own battle line, after all, the armor of the Kong-class was not comparable to the battleships.

After the two encirclement and suppression fleets on the side of the Noomi Royal Navy converged, they saw that the naval fleet of the Tang Empire dared to rush over, and they also greeted it with great momentum.

A naval battle between the fleets of the two sides broke out that lasted for more than six hours, and finally ended in the victory of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire.

During this naval battle, the Royal Navy of Noomi sank a total of two super dreadnought battleships, one battle cruiser, two dreadnought battleships, three pre-dreadnought battleships, five ironclad battleships, five large armored cruisers, seven light cruisers, and nine destroyers.

In the face of the Nagato-class super dreadnought battleship's 410mm main gun, some Noomi Royal Navy warships, including some former dreadnoughts, ironclad battleships, and large armored cruisers, were even sunk by a single shell.

In addition, the Noomi Royal Navy also had three super dreadnought battleships, one battle cruiser, three large armored cruisers, two light cruisers and one destroyer, which could not escape because they were seriously injured, and eventually became the trophies of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire.

The remaining Noomi Royal Navy warships escaped the pursuit of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire at night.

On the side of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, not a single capital ship was sunk, only a large armored cruiser, two light cruisers and three destroyers were sunk, which can be described as a brilliant victory.

In addition to the three battle cruisers captured in the pursuit process before, Su Yi, who was far away in Chang'an City, received three super dreadnought battleships and four battle cruisers from the system.

The three super dreadnought battleships awarded are still the Japanese Nagato-class, and the four battlecruisers rewarded are still the British Hood-class, which makes Su Yi very satisfied, after all, these two battleships can be regarded as the two strongest capital ships in the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire.
