In the bridge of the Ares of War, the flagship of the Second Expeditionary Fleet of the Sharad Navy, Captain Rofeyer hesitated and suggested to Commander Denis: "Commander, it is better to let the destroyers and torpedo boats charge now, and use the speed of the destroyers and torpedo boats to drag the super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers of the other side, so that our battleship formation can get close to the other side." ”

Dennis only hesitated slightly, then nodded and said: "Then let all the destroyers and torpedo boats of our Second Expeditionary Fleet attack immediately, and at the same time send a report to Gordey of the Gisk Navy and Mihailo of the Orensa Navy, and let their navies also send all the destroyers and torpedo boats, if the super dreadnought battleship formation of our Second Expeditionary Fleet collapses, then this naval battle will be unpredictable!" ”

After a pause, Denis continued: "Tell Gordey and Mihailo again that now the attention of this baron fleet is on our second expeditionary fleet, and the navies of their two countries must find a way to intercept the super dreadnought battleships and battle cruisers of this baron fleet, and create an opportunity for the super dreadnought battleship formation of our second expeditionary fleet!" ”

As soon as Denis finished speaking, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded on the sea, and Janis immediately slammed the windowsill of the observation window of the bridge in front of him.

The second ship of the Navy's Knight-class super dreadnought, the Protector, was hit by a 356-mm armor-piercing shell from the Ise-class super dreadnought battleship Tongan of the Independent Fleet, the first shell to hit the Protector after the shelling began.

However, this shell pierced through the side armor of the Protector and exploded near an ammunition bin of the Super Dreadnought battleship Protector, instantly detonating a full 300 rounds of 343 mm shells in the ammunition tank.

Of the more than 1,000 Salad officers and sailors on the Protector, very few survived in the end, and many of the Salad officers and sailors who jumped into the sea were sucked into the sea by the whirlpool created by the sinking of the Protector Super Dreadnought.

The nine most powerful super dreadnought battleships in the Sharad Navy have been sunk and seriously injured before they can fire a single shot, which makes Dennis feel very aggrieved, "Let the thirty-two light cruisers of our Second Expeditionary Fleet also attack with destroyers and torpedo boats, if we can't interfere with the other side's tactics, these super dreadnought battleships of our Second Expeditionary Fleet will have to be worn to death by the other side!" In addition, let the Gisk Navy and the Orenza Navy also send all the light cruisers to it, so many small and medium-sized warships to attack together, maybe they can achieve unexpected results! ”

On the bridge of the Holy Sword, the flagship of the First Fleet of the Gisk Royal Navy, Gorjey, the Vice Admiralty of the Gisk Empire, received a telegram from Dennis and handed it to Nicono, the commander of the First Fleet of the Gisk Empire, "Do you think we should carry out this order from Dennis?" ”

The commander of the First Fleet, Nikono, quickly read the contents of the telegram, and then said in a deep voice: "Commander, although we can send light cruisers, destroyers, and torpedo boats to cooperate with the Shalad Navy to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's battle line, we must not send out all light cruisers, destroyers, and torpedo boats, otherwise once the enemy sends small and medium-sized warships to attack the battleship formation of our Gisk Navy, the battleship formation of our Gisk Navy will lack sufficient escort force. ”

Gorgey nodded and said, "I think the same way, then send ten light cruisers, ten destroyers and twenty torpedo boats to fight with the Sharad Navy!" ”

In the end, the Gisk Navy, sending only a third of its light cruisers and torpedo boats, and a quarter of its destroyers, launched an attack on the battleship formations of the Separate Fleet.

Mihailo, the Admiral of the Orenza Navy, after receiving the telegram from Dennis, also had the same considerations as the Vice-Admiral of the Gisk Empire, Gorjey, and did not send all the light cruisers, destroyers, and torpedo boats of the Orensa Navy, but only sent a third of the number, including twelve light cruisers, twelve destroyers, and twenty torpedo boats.

In addition, neither Gordyj nor Mikhailo rashly ordered the battleship formation under their command to intercept the super dreadnought battleships and battle cruisers of the independent fleet, and whoever intercepted them at this time would set themselves on fire and attract the attention of the super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers of the independent fleet.

After discovering that the navies of the three countries had sent a large number of small and medium-sized warships to charge, Wang Chengliang, commander of the Independent Fleet, immediately ordered the eight ironclad battleships of the 12th World Battleship Formation to lead 11 large armored cruisers, 6 medium armored cruisers, 41 light cruisers, and 80 destroyers to reduce their speed.

In front of twelve super dreadnought battleships, eight quasi-super dreadnought battleships, and twelve battle cruisers, a protective ring was formed to intercept the small and medium-sized warships of the three navies.

Soon the explosions on the sea became one after another, and many light cruisers, destroyers, and torpedo boats of the navies of the three countries were destroyed on the way to the charge before they could get close to the main position of the independent fleet.

However, the Shalad navy sent out all 32 light cruisers, 40 destroyers, and 70 torpedo boats, plus the small and medium-sized warships sent by the Gisk Navy and the Orenza Navy, and quite a few light cruisers, destroyers, and torpedo boats of the three navies successfully fired torpedoes at the warships of the independent fleet.

Some of the explosions on the sea were sent by warships belonging to the independent fleet, and the entire naval battle suddenly became fierce, and from time to time warships of the warring sides disappeared on the sea.

With a "bang-" sound, Denis, the commander of the Second Expeditionary Fleet of the Sharad Navy, slammed his fist on the windowsill of the observation window of the bridge again.

"These bastards! At this time, I still want to save my strength! ”

The captain of the Ares Rofeier said angrily: "Commander, you can't put all the super dreadnought battleships of our Sharad Navy into it, since the Jisk Navy and the Orenza Navy are unwilling to send battleship formations to intercept the enemy's super dreadnought battleships and battle cruisers, and even light cruisers, destroyers and torpedo boats are not willing to send them all, then there is no need for our Sharad Navy to always rush to the front." ”

Rofeyer's words made Janis silent for a long time before he nodded slowly, "Pass my order, reduce the speed of all battleships to ten knots, and prepare to distance themselves from the enemy's super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers." ”
