Chapter 207: The Battle of Manila Bay IV
The captains and officers of the Huaxia Army knew that the temporary retreat of their fleet was a clever plan of the commander-in-chief, but the ordinary officers and men did not know what was going on, and their morale was a little low.
However, everyone knows that as long as Commander-in-Chief Hu Zhen is here, he will definitely defeat the Spaniards today, and they all carry out all operations on the battleship in strict accordance with their commander's orders.
After nearly an hour and a half, the two chasing fleets had left Tadpole Island for more than twenty-six nautical miles.
At this time, several tiny black shadows swept through the vast sky of the fleets of the two sides.
Whether it was the Luzon fleet or the Huaxia Army, the lookout sailors on the masts of the warships on both sides saw this small black shadow hovering in the air that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.
But most people think they're dazzled, or they're seeing flying creatures like birds.
It was only after the war that the surviving Spain mentioned this mysterious and strange phenomenon in their memoirs, but people all over the world believed that it was just a reason for the failure of the Spaniards for their incompetence, and no one thought that this was the culprit that caused the Spanish Luzon fleet.
These black shadows are the miniature drones released from the nuclear submarine, there are eight on the upper level, alternately monitoring the sea area 150 kilometers away in all directions of the theater, once a large fleet is found to be approaching, it will immediately report to Hu Zhen, to ensure that there will be no more sudden reinforcements of the Mi army in the Hawaiian naval battle.
In the middle of the head of the Luzon fleet there were ten micro-UAVs, and in the sea water five miniature diving sensors were also quietly released, glued to the bottom of the five capital ships of the Luzon fleet, sending radiation signals to the nuclear submarines.
The three-dimensional cross-measurement of the Luzon fleet in real time in the air and underwater, with an accuracy of millimeters, is transmitted to the supercomputer on the nuclear submarine through a wireless data link, and then transmitted to Hu Zhen's VR viewing glasses after being processed by the supercomputer.
The speed of this supercomputer reaches 900 billion operations per second, and the processed data can be transmitted to Hu Zhen in just a few tenths of a second, which is completely real-time in time from the perspective of ordinary people.
The nuclear submarine also dived under the bottom of the sea at this time in the fleets of both sides. Follow the actions of both sides and deal with unexpected situations in real time.
"The slowest battleship of the Luzon fleet is also twenty-seven nautical miles away from the Tadpole Island defensive battery!" A set of numbers appeared on the visible eye worn on Hu Zhen's face.
Hu Zhen looked at his watch, the hour hand was pointing to 10:05, and said, "It's time to start!" ”
"Brethren!"
The sailors on the main battleships suddenly heard a familiar loud voice.
The people with sharp ears muttered one after another: "Isn't this the voice of Commander-in-Chief Hu?" How did he come to our ship? ”
Originally. Hu Zhen not only equipped all ships with radio stations, but also equipped the main warships with radio and voice communication stations, which could communicate with the main warships in real time.
This makes the communication and command means of the Huaxia Army far exceed the navies of all countries in this time and space world!
"Shhhh Some of the level-headed crew stopped the fuss.
Everyone was silent. Or just operate silently, allowing the battleship to continue to gallop forward.
Hu Zhen's voice was radioed to the horn, and the horn clearly sent the sound to the ears of every officer and soldier in the air:
"I am Hu Zhen, commander-in-chief of the Huaxia Army, and now I use our top-secret technology wireless voice radio to broadcast to all officers and soldiers, four hundred years ago, our ancestors' Zheng He's fleet came here, at that time our Great China was so powerful, our ancestors never intended to conquer anyone, let the European Xiaoxiao make waves around the world, four hundred years have passed. We are lagging behind in the oceans, and the Europeans control the entire world's oceans, and they run to our doorstep to do their bidding, and they set up a few cannons at will, and they wantonly slaughter our compatriots, divide the land, demand reparations, and call us damned barbarians. Today, we're going to start using weapons and take back everything we have! Now, I command you. Sink their warships, destroy all the enemies who dare to invade Great Huaxia, let the bones of the enemy become a stepping stone for our growth, and regain everything that belongs to our Great Huaxia......"
The Boss speaks. Of course there will be a response from everyone:
"Destroy the enemy and take back everything that belongs to our Great Huaxia!"
"Destroy the enemy on the opposite side ......"
"Break into Manila, set foot in Luzon!"
With Hu Zhen's speech, the officers and men of the Huaxia Army Fleet roared, and a huge passionate voice spread far away. Even the Spaniards on the Luzon fleet could hear it clearly.
At this time, the treacherous and cunning Severa sensed that the situation seemed to be a little bad, but in front of his subordinates, he had always been a dead duck with a hard mouth, trying to inspire his subordinates to regain their former imperial glory:
"A barbarian is a barbarian, and what's the use of more anger? At that time, a few hundred cavalry in the Kingdom of Spain were able to wipe out hundreds of thousands of Indian armies and conquer the whole of Mexico, and today we will definitely be able to wipe out the barbarians on the opposite side......"
While Severa was about to ramble on and on, the lookout post on the mast of the battleship Pelayo cried out through the pipe: "The enemy's fleet has turned back!" ”
Severa stopped talking, and together with his staff officers, he went to the observation hole and looked out, only to see that the Huaxia fleet was indeed turning around, and was divided into three groups and rushing towards his own fleet!
The Huaxia fleet was divided into three parts:
The first squadron, with the battleships Dahua, Daxia, and Maine, and the cruisers Qilong, Qifeng, Qihu, Qibao, and Baltimore, a total of eight battleships, formed the main team, led by Hu Zhen on the flagship Dahua, rushed head-on to the flagship of the Luzon fleet, and then turned to the right side of the Luzon fleet's capital ship to seize the T-shaped head to launch an artillery bombardment with speed advantage.
The Second Squadron, consisting of six fast cruisers, including the Qiming, Qixing, Qiqi, Qida, Qiguang, and Qikai, and eight destroyers of the First Destroyer Fleet led by the cruiser Qilei, eight destroyers of the Second Destroyer Fleet led by the Qidian, and 16 torpedo boats, formed a fast squadron of 40 ships, and swept 5,000 meters away from the left side of the Luzon Fleet at the maximum speed of 21.5 knots, outflanking the Luzon Fleet.
The third squadron, with fifteen warships captured from the Netherlands and the United States, could only follow the second squadron to swarm to the left side of the Luzon fleet at a speed of less than sixteen knots.
After all, the formation time of the army was too short, the skills of the officers and soldiers were slightly rusty, and the formation of the second team of the Huaxia Army was slightly messy in its high-speed charge, but the advantage of fast speed made up for the lack of neat formation.
Dozens of warships turned up one track after another on the surface of the sea, forming a circle of large waves that quickly spread out in all directions.
Destroyers of several hundred tons and torpedo boats of several tens of tons rushed forward in the waves, like small beetles crawling in the undulating waves.
"A barbarian is a barbarian, and he can't even put the formation of a battleship well!" The Spaniards have a fine naval tradition of several hundred years, and they look down on nouveau riche like the Huaxia Army. (To be continued.) )
