Seymour and the commanders of the fleets of various countries had long known the number of artillery and the comparison of firepower projection on both sides, and now they saw the true face of the Huaxia warships, and used binoculars to carefully observe, and found that the number of large-caliber heavy guns of more than 210 mm in the Huaxia Army was far less than that of their own, and they couldn't help but settle down in their hearts, feeling that the worst result of this battle was that at least half of the Huaxia Army fleet escaped, and their own side failed to catch up.

While the commanders of the fleets were mentally calculating, the telegraph machines of the warships of all countries received a telegram written in Morse code.

Although the countries obtained the wireless telegraphy technology from England, due to the relatively short time, only some large warships were equipped with radio equipment, and the radio personnel immediately translated the open Morse code, and found that it was a short message drafted and sent by the Emperor of the Chinese Empire himself:

"Those who commit Huaxia will be punished even if they are far away!"

Of course, because the languages and scripts of European countries are completely different, the translated meanings are varied, and the meaning that is closest to Hu Zhen is "those who invade the Chinese Empire, no matter how far away, will be killed", while the English translation is "the countries that invade the Chinese Empire will be wiped out", while the French translate it as "Whoever offends the Chinese Empire must die", and the Oros translation is "All countries that invade the Chinese civilization will be pacified by the Chinese Expeditionary Force".

After receiving this message, most of the fleet commanders of various countries did not take it seriously, but simply threw it away as a piece of waste paper.

But there was also someone who looked at it seriously for a while, and that person was Yamamoto Gonbei, who took the telegram translated into Japanese and looked at it over and over for a while, and did not say a word on his lips, but muttered in his heart:

Europe is far away from the Chinese Empire, but the Wa State is very close to the Chinese Empire, even if the Chinese Empire's navy is annihilated, the Chinese Empire is still a huge threat to the Wa Empire, the Chinese Empire must be dismembered, it is best to split into eighteen countries, and the Wa State is safe!

But Yamamoto Gonbei was just thinking about it, and the development of the situation below did not allow him to have any more ideas.

Seymour issued an order at this time, ordering the allied fleet to pounce on the main fleet of the Huaxia Army at the maximum speed, and the commanders of the fleets of various countries also resolutely carried out the order, and the entire fleet looked like it was going to eat all the main fleet of Huaxia in the next moment.

On the side of the main fleet of the Huaxia Army, it seemed that it was not so active, with the first team of battleships and the first team of cruisers rushing to the front, while the second team of battleships, the second team of cruisers, and the destroyer fleet lagged far behind.

When Seymour saw this, he had a sudden attack in his heart: the fast battleships of the yellow-skinned monkey were all placed in front, and the slow warships were all placed behind, did he plan to escape?

But soon Seymour had another thought: no matter how the yellow-skinned monkey escaped, he must leave most of his warships here today!

Seymour had a certain idea, and sent his plan to the whole fleet, demanding: after engaging the enemy, the fast battleship detachment immediately rushed up and stuck to the battleship of the yellow monkey, while the fast cruiser detachment detoured back to the back of the yellow monkey fleet to carry out a large encirclement, and the battleship squadron and the cruiser squadron followed and fired a salvo of artillery fire together, and it was sure to annihilate them all in this sea area.

At the time of the execution of Seymour's order, the warships of various countries showed a very high quality of naval skills, and the huge fleet was running quickly and methodically.

"The European Union Navy really lives up to its reputation!" Hu Zhen, who was in the distance, saw it and couldn't help but admire, but the next sentence was a sneer:

"Okay, the more neatly you come, the more you will die, this time it's still too little, it would be nice if there were dozens of more warships, lest my Huaxia army would have to go on an expedition to Europe to fight with them!"

"Your Majesty, are we still acting according to the original plan?"

Zheng Dingbang stood next to him and was a little nervous, although Emperor Hu Zhen said that the aircraft carrier was superb, but Zheng Dingbang and the Chinese naval officers and men were nervous, after all, the other party's firepower was three or four times that of their own, if the decisive battle did not go well, it would not be a pity that more than 20,000 naval officers and soldiers were all killed, but the 400 million people of the entire Chinese Empire may fall into a situation from which they will never recover, then everyone is deeply guilty.

Hu Zhen glanced back at Zheng Dingbang, nodded his head to signal him to relax, and then firmly grabbed the radio communicator and sent his voice to the broadcast system of all battleships:

"Soldiers, I am with you, I order you, everything will be carried out according to the original plan!"

After the emperor's simple words reached the ears of all the officers and men of the fleet, they immediately triggered a tsunami-like response:

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

"Long live the Chinese Empire, long live, long live!"

The cheers in the Huaxia fleet spread far away, and the coalition fleet also heard some, but most of the coalition officers and soldiers scoffed at this: "Hmph! The yellow-skinned monkeys are starting to roar in heat! ”

The fleets of the two sides quickly moved forward, but the veteran Seymour was slightly nervous: Okay, don't run away this time the yellow-skinned monkey, let me eat you!

The main fleet of the Huaxia Army did not stop, but when it reached a distance of 15,000 meters, the first team of battleships and the first team of cruisers suddenly turned their rudder to the left and turned to the fast battlefleet detachment and fast cruiser detachment on the right side of the coalition fleet.

"After a 15,000-kilometer turn, are the yellow-skinned monkeys going to open fire at a distance of 13,000 to 14,000 meters?"

Although the allied fleet already knew that the Huaxia Army could fire at a distance of 9,000 meters, it was still surprising and surprising to see with his own eyes that the other side was going to fire at a distance of 13,000 meters!

The British got the artillery aiming technology of the Huaxia Army, and after improvement, it can now fire at a distance of 9,000 meters, but it is obviously a big gap with the Huaxia Army, and other countries do not have the advanced technology of rangefinders, so they can only fire at a distance of less than 6,000 meters or even closer.

But Seymour, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, did not panic much, and quickly made what he thought was the correct arrangement: "Signal soldiers, quickly send an order to the whole fleet, and prepare to prevent the yellow-skinned monkey from firing!" ”

Seymour did not order the fleet to turn and seize the T-head, but rushed straight forward, withstood the first few rounds of artillery bombardment of the Chinese fleet, and then stuck to the other side, trying to grind it to death with the ship's multiple guns.

Sure enough, the Huaxia Army opened heavy fire at a distance of 13,000 meters, and it was the first team of battleships with 305 mm caliber main guns firing all in a salvo.

Twenty-eight shells came with a roar of death, and the officers and men of the ships of the allied fleet, although they verbally expressed 120,000 contempt for the Huaxia army at such a long distance, were shocked before the strong tremor of the air.

The captains of the coalition ships tried their best to steer the battleship in a serpentine maneuver to avoid the shells that might fall on their heads, but it was a very difficult task for the huge battleship to perform a serpentine maneuver when charging, and all the people and objects on the ship shook violently, as if the battleship was about to disintegrate in the next moment.

But no matter how the coalition fleet maneuvered to dodge, there were still people who were unlucky.

Due to its short launching time, good maintenance, and excellent speed performance, the battleship Fuji was placed in the first position of the fast battleship detachment of the allied forces, and naturally became the first target of the warships of the Chinese Navy.

Despite its desperate efforts to dodge, the Fuji was caught in the middle by shells, which exploded in the sea and set off columns of water that rose from the side of the Fuji.

One of the shells hit the stern of the Fuji, tearing the deck to pieces with a powerful wave of air through the bilge, and another hit the heavily armored forward turret, shattering the front turret into a turtle shell shape with tremendous explosive momentum.

After the Fuji was injured, the coalition fleet was not ready to plan what to do, and the second round of strikes by the Huaxia Army followed.

The target of this round of strikes was the Fuji.

Four 305 mm shells hit the Fuji, two large holes of three meters in the port side of the hull, a large hole about three meters wide was torn in the starboard side, and one shell passed through the deck and directly penetrated the weakly armored bilge and exploded, tearing open a large hole of five meters in calibre, and the sea water quickly poured in.

The Fatal Fuji, which was badly wounded, immediately leaned to port side and quickly stalled.

The seven battleships of the Huaxia Army (in fact, six salvos, because the New York only had 8 210 mm caliber guns, could only follow the soy sauce), in just a few minutes, the two rounds of artillery bombardment at a distance of 13,000 meters reached 10%, which made the 12,850-ton Fuji quickly lose its combat effectiveness, which is a very amazing record.

In the face of such a sharp opponent, the officers and men of the entire coalition fleet were stunned to be able to cripple a battleship of their own side in a matter of minutes outside their own range.

Seymour roared hysterically and ordered: "Rush up, rush up, get into range and shred the fur of these yellow-skinned monkeys with our cannons!" ”

The officers and men of the coalition army woke up like a dream and desperately drove the battleships forward, hoping to enter their own effective range and fire a salvo of 10,000 guns to smash several battleships of the Huaxia Army.

The allied fleet's attention was all focused on the Huaxia battleships that were firing their guns, but they did not notice that the second team of battleships and the second group of cruisers of the Huaxia Army were turning around and accelerating their retreat.

"The fast battlefleet sailed 15 compass points to the right, and in any case kept a distance of more than 12,000 meters from the coalition fleet."

Hu Zhen saw that the coalition fleet rushed up like crazy, and the swarming ship group quickly blocked the line of sight looking at the Fuji, so he ordered to adjust the course, and then according to the data sent by the nuclear submarine, he decisively pointed the shelling target at the battleship Chaisharevich: "Coordinates xxxx, distance xxxx, rapid salvo!" ”

The whistling shells flew over, only three salvos, and the battleship Chashalevich, which was even more unlucky than the Fuji, was hit by seven bullets, the bow of the ship slowly cocked, and the muzzle of the gun almost pointed to the sky and the sea to form a 60-degree angle, and the nervous gunner actually activated the switch and fired a shot into the sky.

In less than half an hour, the Huaxia Army's fast battlefleet was firmly maintained at a distance of 10,000 meters, and two battleships of the coalition were disabled, which made Seymour angry and his eyes blackened, but his own battleships were not as fast as the opponent's, and it was difficult to rush into their own effective range and fire.

Seymour looked into the distance, the slow battleships and cruisers of the Huaxia Army had turned away, he thought that the Huaxia Army was picking up a bargain and ran away, and he was immediately furious, he decided to let it go, and ordered:

"The fast cruiser fleet is dispatched at maximum speed to cut off the enemy's battleship retreat, and the fast battlefleet rushes up and destroys the enemy's seven fast battleships here at all costs!"

Using his own thin-skinned cruiser to intercept the enemy's thickly armored battleship was a madman's action, but Seymour had to use this trick, otherwise he would not be able to stop the "escaped" Huaxia army, and this decisive battle at sea would be in vain.

Seeing that the 39 fast cruiser detachments of the enemy did not need the cover of battleships and swarmed towards him, Hu Zhen knew that Seymour was finally in a hurry and had to get into the trap he had set, and this final drama was about to begin, so he decisively sent an order to the whole fleet:

"Carry out the pre-battle plan, turn the rudder to the right 45 compass points, withdraw from the battlefield, and disperse the enemy's forces!"

The 39 warships of the Allied Fast Cruiser Fleet come from different countries, and the speed is not uniform, some of them have a maximum speed of 26 knots, which can completely catch up with the fastest warships of the Huaxia Army, but some have a speed of just over 20 knots.

After receiving Seymour's order, the warships of some countries still had the heart to preserve their strength, and did not go all out to advance at the highest speed, and only the warships of England, Oros, and Wa rushed at full speed to the Huaxia fleet at full speed.

Hu Zhen continued to order: "The first team of cruisers, according to the plan, leave the first team of battleships, leave the battlefield first, rush to the rendezvous site and wait!" ”

The first squadron of cruisers immediately withdrew from the battlefield at an average speed of 23 knots, leaving the seven battleships under the command of Hu Zhen to cover behind the palace at a speed of 21 knots.

At this time, several Allied fast cruisers had rushed to within 5,000 meters of the first squadron of battleships of the Huaxia Army.

Seeing this, Hu Zhen immediately coldly ordered: "The first team of battleships, each looking for a valuable target behind it, and using the main and secondary guns of the rear guard to bombard!" ”

With the cruiser's displacement of several thousand tons and thin armor, it was difficult to withstand the heavy bombardment of part of the battleship's guns, and as long as it was hit by a 305 mm shell, it would be absolutely immediately shattered.

Seeing that the main guns of the battleships of the Huaxia Army opened fire on themselves, the allied cruisers that had already rushed quickly moved away in a serpentine way to avoid the flying shells.

However, no matter how fast the cruiser was, it could not be faster than a shell with a muzzle velocity of several hundred kilometers per second.

Soon a coalition cruiser was hit by a bullet and exploded and sank.

The other allied cruisers did not dare to get too close, so they swept over the flanks, trying to cross the front range and interfere with the retreat of the first group of battleships of the Huaxia Army.

However, the first squadron of cruisers of the Huaxia Army suddenly turned back and flanked the enemy's fast cruisers that rushed into the encirclement with the first squadron of battleships.

After a while, three more coalition cruisers were shot, one of which overturned and sank on the spot, and the other two fled the battlefield in flames. (To be continued.) )
