Chapter Twenty-Seven: A One-Sided Naval Battle

The second salvo of the main guns of the six super dreadnought battleships of the Independent Fleet brought one sinking and one serious injury to the Gisk Empire, which suddenly made the face of Nikono, the commander of the First Fleet of the Gisk Empire, even more ugly.

Although the Second Fleet of the Gisk Empire sent a lot of warships this time, and the battleships even accounted for more than half of the Second Fleet, the commander of the Second Fleet, Proney, did not come, so in this naval battle outside the port of Kangshan, the commander of the First Fleet, Nikono, was the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Kisk Navy.

As a result, as soon as the naval battle began, the Gisk Empire was sunk a dreadnought battleship, and a dreadnought battleship was seriously injured.

What made Nikonor even more frightened was that the six warships fired by the Liuyun Empire should all be super dreadnought battleships, and the caliber of the main guns was definitely above 343 mm, otherwise it would be impossible to fire at such a distance, and the main guns of the six super dreadnought battleships still had an amazing hit rate.

"Pimushka, convey my order to all battleships, immediately turn the bow of the ship, and close the enemy's battle line to within eight thousand meters as soon as possible! Let the wounded Machete, immediately withdraw from the battle! The commander of the First Fleet, Nikono, said in a deep voice to the captain of the Holy Sword, Pimushka.

Pimushka's face was also not very good, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Commander, the strength of the fleet that appeared in the Liuyun Empire is beyond our imagination, I feel that we should concentrate all our forces to deal with this fleet of the Liuyun Empire, as for the Celestial Star Empire Navy in Kangshan Harbor, it is not worth letting us disperse our forces now." ”

"You are very right, immediately let the six former dreadnought battleships, eight ironclad battleships, ten armored cruisers, twelve light cruisers, twenty destroyers and thirty torpedo boats that are preparing to encircle the Celestial Star Empire Navy move closer to the main force, the little strength of the Celestial Star Empire Navy, we have a chance to clean them up in the future!"

The naval officers and men of the First and Second Fleets of the Celestial Star Empire are ready to break through with the mentality of benevolence and righteousness, after all, the naval strength of the Celestial Star Empire is far from that of the Jisk Empire.

However, what stunned the officers and men of the Celestial Star Empire Navy was that after nearly a hundred warships of the two fleets rushed out of Kangshan Port, they soared for more than ten nautical miles, only to find that the powerful Jisk Imperial Navy outside the port had no time to deal with them at all.

In the bridge of the Jianglong, the flagship of the First Fleet of the Celestial Star Empire, Guo Gong, the captain of the Jianglong, put down the binoculars in his hand, and then said excitedly to Wu Zhi, the commander of the First Fleet: "The fleet of Su Yi of the Liuyun Empire actually has ten dreadnought battleships, and the navy of the Jisk Empire has suffered heavy losses, will our two fleets join the battlefield?" ”

As soon as Guo Gong, the captain of the Jianglong, finished speaking, a violent explosion suddenly sounded on the sea, and another battleship of the Jisk Empire was immediately blown in two and quickly sank to the sea.

Wu Zhi, the commander of the First Fleet, said categorically: "The task of our two fleets is to break out of the encirclement from Kangshan Port, since there is now the fleet of the Liuyun Empire that Su Yi to contain the Jisk Imperial Navy, then our two fleets just take the opportunity to withdraw to Oolong Harbor!" ”

Guo Gong, the captain of the Jianglong, hesitated for a moment and said, "Commander, the Liuyun Empire is an ally of our Celestial Star Empire after all. ”

Wu Zhi waved his hand and said: "Su Yi's fleet came to Kangshan Port to assist our two fleets to break through, as long as our two fleets successfully break through, Su Yi's fleet can retreat at any time, not to mention that our Celestial Star Empire's navy has only so much in total, can we not fight hard with the navy of the Jisk Empire, or not fight hard!" ”

After Su Yi received the telegram that the two fleets of the Celestial Star Empire were not ready to join the naval battle, he pouted and said to Wang Chengliang, the commander of the independent fleet beside him: "It seems that my worries are a little superfluous, those soft eggs of the Celestial Star Empire's navy are unwilling to join the battlefield when the battle situation is so favorable, they have fled!" ”

Wang Chengliang said with a smile: "Isn't this the intention of Zhenghe Dashuai, in this case, as long as our independent fleet can defeat the naval fleet of the Jisk Empire outside Kangshan Port, then there will be one less obstacle to receiving Kangshan Port." ”

At this time, Su Yi glanced at the Jisk Imperial Navy fleet on the sea, and said with a smile: "It seems that in this naval battle, there is no longer any problem for our independent fleet to win." ”

The naval battle has lasted for nearly two hours, and on the side of the independent fleet under Su Yi, only the Iron Duke-class battleship Chubo and the King-class battleship Deji have suffered some minor injuries, but they have not affected their combat effectiveness at all, and two light cruisers and three destroyers have also suffered some injuries.

On the side of the naval fleet of the Jisk Empire, there have been heavy losses, three dreadnought battleships, four former dreadnought battleships and six ironclad battleships have been sunk, and most of the remaining battleships are also wounded, and many battleships have almost lost their combat effectiveness, and many other types of warships have also been sunk and damaged.

Dozens of battleships of the Jisk Empire and hundreds of other types of warships, braving the fire of six super dreadnought battleships and four dreadnoughts of the independent fleet, finally narrowed the distance between the two sides to within eight thousand meters, but found that the hit rate of the main guns of the other party's ten battleships suddenly increased to a terrifying point, and the hit rate of the main guns of the Jisk Empire battleships was so low that people felt a little desperate.

In order to change this passive situation, Nikono, the commander of the First Fleet of the Gisk Empire, even ordered numerous armored cruisers, light cruisers, destroyers, and torpedo boats to launch a similar suicidal charge on the battle line of the independent fleet, but unfortunately it still had no effect.

Under the attack of ten battleships of the Independence Fleet, numerous secondary guns and rapid-fire guns, as well as four large armored cruisers, four light cruisers and ten destroyers, the warships of the Gisk Empire, which launched a suicidal charge, simply could not get close to the battle line of the Independence Fleet, and finally had to abandon this charge after losing more than twenty warships.

"Commander, we can't fight any more, the hit rate of the main guns of the enemy battleships is really amazing, so far we have thirteen battleships sunk, and the remaining twenty-three battleships are mostly injured, and several battleships have almost lost their combat effectiveness." The captain of the Holy Sword, Pimushka, said to the commander of the First Fleet, Nikono, with a bitter face.

The expression on Nikcono's face at this time was very painful, "Defeated, completely defeated!" I didn't expect that the two major fleets of our Jisk Empire would be defeated in the hands of a third-rate navy like the Liuyun Empire! ”

"Commander, the Flowing Cloud Empire already has six super dreadnought battleships and four dreadnought battleships, and with such strength, it is already among the naval powers."

"Alas, the Liuyun Empire is indeed already a naval power, and it is still stepping on the navy of our Jisk Empire."

"Commander, did you immediately order a retreat?"

"Retreat! It's impossible for us to hold out until dark and then retreat! ”
