The Ori fleet desperately counterattacked, throwing hundreds of shells in the direction of the seven battleships of the Huaxia Army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, under the command of Hu Zhen, taking advantage of the speed advantage, the distance between the two sides was always maintained at a distance of more than 8,000 meters, so that not a single shell of the Ewa fleet, which did not have a ranging fire control system, could hit its own fleet.

In the five rounds of strikes of the battleships of the Huaxia Army, the battleship Duke Suvorov was hit by 11 305 mm shells and 3 210 mm shells, and the shells exploded and ignited a raging fire that surrounded the hull.

To the worst thing, three large holes two or three meters wide were blown open in the Duke Suvorov, and the sea water rushed in, and huge waves appeared on the deck.

Seeing that the Duke Suvorov could not be saved, the clever scholar General Makarov had no choice but to abandon the ship again and escape after sending a signal to the fleet.

After Makarov left the Duke Suvorov, according to Makarov's instructions before abandoning the ship, Vice Admiral Rozhestvensky on the Borodino, another spare flagship of the Eurian army, immediately raised the fleet command flag and took command of the whole fleet on his behalf.

Gonbei Yamamoto on the battleship Mikasa, the flagship of the Japanese Kingdom, was coldly observing the sinking of the Duke Suvorov, and a young officer behind him said dissatisfiedly:

"This Oros battleship is really useless, but another flagship is finished in ten minutes!"

"As an officer, you must be careful to follow your duties and not waste time talking nonsense!" Yamamoto Gonbei yelled at the officer in a low voice, and ordered everyone in the command tower:

"Pass the order, all obey the order of the new flagship of the combined fleet of the two countries, the Borodino, and continue to fight!"

In fact, at this time, Yamamoto Gonbei knew that the Hubei army had lost its flagship twice today, and the morale of the officers and soldiers would inevitably fall to the lowest point, and there would be no chance of winning if they continued to fight.

An officer made a suggestion to Gonbei Yamamoto: "General, the command of the Hubei fleet is not good, it is better for us to raise the command flag and command the combined fleet of the two countries!" ”

"Bage, what do you know? Say no more, obey the command! ”

As long as he becomes the flagship of the fleet command, he will inevitably suffer from the thunderous precision of the Huaxia Army, and he will not be so stupid to be the first bird to die!

Sure enough, the Huaxia army clearly saw the movement of the Hubei army, and Hu Zhen immediately ordered: "Aim at the Borodino and sink him fiercely!" ”

Of course, Rozhestvensky also knew that the next target of the Huaxia Army's attack would inevitably be his own ship, but in order to maintain the dignity of the Oros Imperial Navy, he resolutely hung out the command flag, and he wanted to command the whole fleet out of the crisis.

When the battleships of the Huaxia Army fought a decisive battle with the combined fleet of the Hubei and Japanese armies, the cruisers of both sides also collided.

However, the cruisers of the Huaxia Army were not in the mood to confront the cruisers of the Hubei, but used their speed advantage to sweep past and go to the enemy's logistical supply fleet.

The cruiser fleet of the Hubei army thought that the cruiser fleet of the Huaxia Army was going to duel with itself and put on a formation of a decisive battle in a column, but the speed of each ship was different, the highest speed was 20.5 knots, and the lowest was only 15.5 knots.

The logistics fleet of the O-Japanese fleet consisted of 1 repair ship and 8 supply transport ships, and under the cover of 10 destroyers, it fell far behind the main battle fleet.

Seeing the cruiser fleet of the Huaxia Army rushing over, the 10 destroyers immediately formed a battle formation to block them.

Most of the destroyers of the two countries have a displacement of 400 to 8900 tons, the largest guns on the ships are only 120 mm caliber, and the most powerful weapons are torpedoes on the ships.

Some of the officers and men of the terrified destroyer fired torpedoes in a panic before the Huaxia Army cruiser had even entered the range of 3,000 meters, which was easily dodged by the Huaxia Army cruiser.

Next came the destroyers of the Oro fleet, who were unlucky.

The cruisers of the Huaxia Army have been equipped with the latest two-meter baseline rangefinder for commanding artillery bombardment, and after frenzied and high-intensity training in recent months, the officers and men of the Huaxia Navy have become very familiar with the use of warship weapons.

Yang Yonglin, the commander of the cruiser's fleet, gave an order through a wireless communicator, and the twelve battleships aimed their main guns at the enemy's destroyers and bombarded them fiercely.

In just a few minutes, all 10 destroyers of the Oro fleet were shot, 4 were sunk on the spot, and the remaining 6 were seriously damaged, and they did not dare or have the ability to stop the movement of the cruiser fleet of the Huaxia Army.

It's just that the cruisers of the Otto-Japanese fleet have already reacted and are surging in behind.

Yang Yonglin glanced back at the enemy cruisers swarming behind him, and ordered: "The four cruisers Qilong, Qiming, Qida, and Qizhong quickly destroy the enemy's supply fleet, and the remaining 8 cruisers are fighting with the enemy's 13 cruisers to gain time!" ”

The logistical supply fleets of the two countries consisted of nine ships, mostly civilian ships, with slow speeds, no armor, and no basic self-defense artillery, which were vulnerable to the four cruisers of the Huaxia Army, which were armed to the teeth.

Yang Yonglin sent four cruisers out, which was very face-saving for the transport fleet of the Hubei army, not to mention the 155 mm caliber artillery, but those 75 mm rapid-fire guns blasted past, and a large hole one or two meters wide was blown up in the hull of the transport ship, and the sea water poured into it like a torrent.

The design of the watertight compartment of the transport ship is far less refined than that of a combat ship, and the water rushing in basically means sinking to the bottom of the sea.

Some transport ships were loaded with ammunition and were hit by a single shot that caused an earth-shattering explosion.

Under the noses of the destroyers and cruisers of the Hubei Army, the guns of the four cruisers of the Huaxia Army opened fire fiercely, hitting from a distance of several thousand meters to a distance of 100 meters, and all nine logistics transport ships were blown up and sunk.

After destroying 9 of the enemy's logistical vessels, the 4 cruisers turned back to look for the enemy destroyers that had slowed down, and sank 3 destroyers before withdrawing.

The eight cruisers commanded by Yang Yonglin also took advantage of their speed and shooting accuracy to sink the snail-crawling cruiser Vladimir Monomakh.

After the 4 cruisers finished sinking all the enemy's logistics transport ships, they caught up to rendezvous, and Yang Yonglin was about to outflank the enemy when he suddenly received an order from Emperor Hu Zhen: "The eight-nation alliance fleet in Europe is not far from here, and the whole fleet will immediately leave the battle and retreat!" ”

It turned out that the Eight-Nation Coalition fleet was subjected to radio interference from nuclear submarines and also lost contact with Europe and the Straits Settlements, but the cable telegraph from the English Colonies played a role, and the colonial authorities of the Andaman Islands and India immediately sent clippers to find the Eight-Nation Coalition Fleet after receiving information from the Straits Settlements about the passage of the Huaxia Army's fast fleet through the Strait of Malacca.

After learning the news of the attack on the Oro fleet, the Eight-Nation Allied Fleet immediately drew out the fastest battleships and cruisers and rushed to the rescue.

When the fleet of the Eight-Nation Coalition appeared in the sea not far away, it was immediately detected by the micro-UAV of the nuclear submarine at high altitude.

Hu Zhen saw that he had sunk the two battleships of the Hubei army and eliminated its logistics fleet, and had reached the goal of the sortie, and now that the sun had set on the sea, it was time to collect the troops, so he ordered the troops to be collected back. (To be continued.) )
