At noon on January 9, 3011 in the Tang calendar, Su Yi, who had lunch, boarded the Bavaria-class battleship Yongxiang, and discussed some knowledge of naval warfare with Wang Chengliang, commander of the Xingang fleet, on the bridge of the Yongxiang.

In fact, it is better to talk about discussion than learning, although Su Yi has been a soldier for 12 years in the original world, he has served in the armed police force, and he does not know much about the navy, and the memories obtained in his mind do not have much knowledge related to the navy.

Now that he has his own navy, Su Yi decided to learn all aspects of the navy, and as for the objects of study, of course, he Yunfei and Wang Chengliang, the two all-round senior elite combat biochemical people.

Because Su Yi had already made up his mind to take Xingang City for himself, He Yunfei had been busy commanding two infantry brigades and recruited civilians in the past few days to strengthen the fortifications outside Xingang City in order to deal with the next attack of the Celestial Star Empire's army, and even resist the attack of the Liuyun Empire's army in the future.

After all, Newport City is the direct territory of the Liuyun Empire's royal family, and after the war between the Liuyun Empire and the Celestial Star Empire is over, the Liuyun Empire's royal family should not be so generous, watching Su Yi steal Newport City.

If Su Yi didn't have the three battleships and two large armored cruisers of the Xingang Fleet in his hands, even if he gave up Xingang City, Su Yi would not care, but now with these five warships of the Xingang Fleet, once there is no port of Xingang City, these five warships will not even have a dock to dock, and there will be no place to replenish the fuel and coal needed by the five warships.

After Su Yi took over the port of Newport City, he found a batch of fuel oil and coal stored by the Royal Navy of the Yuanliuyun Empire in the port, which was enough for the Newport fleet to use for a long time.

As for whether he could keep the territory of Xingang City under the attack of the Celestial Star Empire and even the Liuyun Empire, Su Yi was full of confidence.

Newport City is a port city, as long as the Newport fleet can control the sea control in the nearby waters, then it can provide artillery support to the army under Su Yi's command, under the shelling of large-caliber naval guns, Su Yi does not believe that the army of the Celestial Star Empire and the army of the Liuyun Empire can bring much threat to Newport City.

The navies of the Celestial Star Empire and the Liuyun Empire were not very strong, and Su Yi thought that with the five armies of the Xingang fleet, it should not be a big problem to control the sea control in the waters near the port of Xingang City.

Wang Chengliang was explaining the "T" shaped tactics in naval warfare to Su Yi, when Yuan Fan, the captain of the Yongxiang, hurriedly walked to the two of them, "Marshal, commander, the Flying Eagle armored cruiser has discovered a fleet of the Celestial Star Empire in the sea area about sixty nautical miles east of Xingang City, and it has been confirmed that there are two former dreadnought battleships and two ironclad battleships, as well as more than thirty warships of other types, and the Flying Eagle is currently retreating in the direction of Xingang City. ”

The five warships obtained from the system were not equipped with radars, so in order not to be raided by the navy of the Celestial Star Empire, Wang Chengliang sent two Minotaur-class armored cruisers Feiying and Feihong to the sea, hoping to detect the enemy fleet earlier, and now it has worked.

Yuan Fan, the captain of the Yongxiang, is a navy-type mid-level combat biochemical, and the captains of the five warships of the Xingang fleet are all navy-type mid-level combat biochemical personnel.

Originally, the cyborg people called Su Yi the commander, but Su Yi was not very satisfied with the title of commander, so he ordered his subordinates to call him the commander.

Wang Chengliang asked in a deep voice, "Where is the Feihong?" ”

Yuan Fan, the captain of the Yongxiang, immediately said: "The Feihong is about forty nautical miles southeast of Xingang City. ”

Wang Chengliang immediately glanced at the charts on the table, and then said: "Order the Feihong to immediately move closer to Nanyue Island and join the main fleet, and tell the Feiying that the main fleet will wait for it near Nanyue Island." ”

Su Yi looked at the location of Nanyue Island on the chart, and then asked Wang Chengliang: "Chengliang, are you ready to take the initiative to face the battle and put the location of the decisive battle near Nanyue Island?" ”

Wang Chengliang nodded and said: "Marshal, Nanyue Island is about eighteen nautical miles away from Xingang City, according to the current position of the fleet of the Celestial Star Empire Navy, if you want to attack Xingang City, you will definitely pass through Nanyue Island, and our Xingang fleet is here waiting for the fleet of the Celestial Star Empire Navy." ”

Su Yi took a deep breath and said, "Then order the Yongxiang, Jianwei, and Jianyong to set off!" ”

Wang Chengliang hesitated for a moment and said: "Dashuai, the naval battle is extremely dangerous, you should stay in Xingang City!" Our Newport Fleet will definitely bring back the news of victory for the commander! ”

Su Yi waved his hand and said: "Cheng Liang, you don't need to persuade you, this battle is very important, it determines whether we can have the foothold of Xingang City, I must go in person, and I believe that the navy of the Celestial Star Empire does not have the strength to sink the Yongxiang yet!" ”

At 12:30 p.m., the three battleships of the Xingang fleet, Yongxiang, Jianwei and Jianyong, sailed out of the port of Xingang City and headed straight for Nanyue Island to the east.

At 1:40 p.m., the Yongxiang, Jianwei and Jianyong arrived in the waters near Nanyue Island, and soon the armored cruiser Feihong also arrived.

At 2:05 p.m., the armored cruiser Flying Eagle appeared on the sea in the distance, and Wang Chengliang, commander of the Xingang fleet, immediately led the Yongxiang, Jianwei, Jianyong, and Feihong to meet the Flying Eagle.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Newport Fleet and the Third Fleet of the Celestial Star Empire discovered each other almost simultaneously, and the distance between the two fleets was about twelve nautical miles at this time.

"Can you confirm which country these five warships belong to?" In the bridge of the Xinglong battleship of the Celestial Star Empire, Li Dongyan, the commander of the Third Fleet, who was holding a telescope in his hand, asked Jia Zhongyang, the captain of the Xinglong, with a solemn face.

Jia Zhongyang shook his head and said: "Commander, of the five warships that appeared in front, one should be a dreadnought battleship, and the other four should be former dreadnought battleships, but from the appearance, we can't tell which country's warship it is. ”

The displacement of the two Minotaur-class armored cruisers exceeded 14,000 tons, and the former dreadnought battleships of many countries had such a large displacement, so the two Minotaur-class armored cruisers were mistaken for two dreadnought battleships by Jia Zhongyang and the officers and men on the Xinglong.

Li Dongyan, the commander of the Third Fleet, immediately gritted his teeth and said: "No matter which country's warships, now they are all flying the flag of the Liuyun Empire, then they are the enemies of our Third Fleet, let the Xinglong, Zhenlong, Sea Lion and Seahorse seize the T-word, and today our Third Fleet will experience a bitter battle!" ”

Jia Zhongyang hesitated, "Commander, there is a dreadnought battleship in the enemy's fleet, and the four battleships of our Third Fleet can't match it at all, I don't think it's as good as ......."

Before Jia Zhongyang's words were finished, he was interrupted by Li Dongyan, "Although the enemy has a dreadnought battleship, but our Third Fleet occupies a numerical advantage, we still have a chance to win, this battle will be carried out by the four battleships Xinglong, Zhenlong, Sea Lion, and Seahorse, attracting the firepower of the enemy's five battleships, so that our armored cruisers, light cruisers, destroyers and torpedo boats will raid the enemy's five battleships and launch torpedo attacks!" ”

Jia Zhongyang wanted to say something more, but Li Dongyan then said in a deep voice: "No matter how strong the enemy is, it is impossible for the navy of our Celestial Star Empire to flee without a fight!" ”

As soon as Jia Zhongyang heard Li Dongyan's words, he knew that this naval battle had to be fought, "The commander is reasonable, our Celestial Star Empire's navy, no matter what kind of enemy it faces, should not flee without a fight!" ”

Geness, who was standing on the deck of the passenger ship, asked Liu Muqing, who was watching with a telescope: "Muqing, can you tell which country's warship it is?" ”

Liu Muqing put down the binoculars, shook his head and said: "The distance is too far, and the magnification of my telescope is not enough, so I can't see it clearly at all, but since the warships of the fleet of the Celestial Star Empire have sounded the alarm, the five warships that appear on the opposite side should not be from the Celestial Star Empire." ”

Gornice immediately said, "Mu Qing, why don't we get closer, maybe you can see clearly!" ”

When Wu Xuedong, the photographer next to him, heard this, he immediately shouted in shock: "Miss Liu, Miss Grace, don't get any closer, otherwise once the fight starts, our passenger ship will be easily injured by mistake!" ”

Wu Xuedong regrets it very much now, why did he get so confused and agree to accompany Liu Muqing to Xingang City! It seems that my wife is right, the more beautiful the woman, the more trouble!

Liu Muqing hesitated, shook his head and said to Gnens: "Forget it, the fleets of the two sides are likely to fight soon, if our passenger ship gets too close, it will really be bombed by mistake, and Captain Liu will not agree to do that!" ”

Gness said with some disappointment, "Okay then! It's a pity that you can't enjoy the duel between the two fleets up close! Mu Qing, which fleet do you say will be victorious? ”

Liu Muqing suddenly sighed and said, "Although I don't know which country those five warships belong to, I hope that these five warships can be victorious, after all, our Liuyun Empire is in a state of war with the Celestial Star Empire." ”

"But the fleet of the Celestial Star Empire has more than thirty warships, while the fleet on the opposite side has only five."

"Gornice, in a naval battle, quantity does not necessarily determine the final victory!"

Standing in the bridge of the Bavaria-class battleship Yongxiang, seeing dozens of warships of the Celestial Star Empire in the distance through the observation ship, Su Yi put down the binoculars in his hand and asked Wang Chengliang a little nervously: "The number of warships on the other side is at least thirty or more, can we win?" ”

Wang Chengliang said confidently: "Don't worry, our Xingang fleet has a giant like Yongxiang, and the first battle will undoubtedly be won!" ”
