The Brave was the fastest, and after full power, it galloped across the sea like a wild horse that had escaped from the reins, and quickly rushed towards the Donald.
At this moment, the distance between the two sides is about 13,000 kilometers, and the direction is almost opposite to each other.
Although the effective range of the Tangren's main guns reached more than 20 kilometers, trying to hit the opponent at a distance of more than 20 kilometers was undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack. Therefore, Li Fang did not rush to order the cannon. With the capabilities of the fire control radar auxiliary equipment, the strike can be started at a distance of five to six kilometers. Of course, if you can fire at less than three to four kilometers, the hit rate will be higher.
"Giggles!" Captain Li Fang couldn't help but laugh when he saw that the three Dutch cruisers were driving at full speed towards his side. Do these Dutch devils want to bully more and less? But this time they were going to miscalculate.
"Turn 18 degrees to the left, accelerate to 24 knots, prepare the naval guns, and let these Dutch devils see our strength." Li Fang immediately gave the order. In Li Fang's heart, the three cruisers of the Dutch devils are completely sending them to death, and since they are going to die, they will fulfill them themselves.
The Donny has four Brown-Curtis-style steam turbines and 42 Babcoco-Wilcox oil-fired boilers. These power boilers feed powerful steam into the thrusters, and the main engine power will reach 120,000 horsepower, and 120,000 horsepower will make the speed of the Don Man soar dramatically.
The huge battleship of the Don Man did not appear to be sluggish because of its bulky body, and the two large chimneys on the deck began to smoke thickly, and the battleship of the Tang Man was more like a wild horse that had escaped from the reins, galloping in the blue sea. The two twin 380-mm, 42-caliber guns in the bow and a twin 380-mm gun in the stern also began to turn, aiming at the rapidly approaching Dutch battleship.
"Oh! My God! Commander Nuodeng was shocked when he saw that the speed of the Tang Man seemed to be faster than the speed of his own battleship, and it was estimated that the speed of the Tang Man should be around 24 knots. Such a huge battleship can gallop at a speed of 24 knots in the sea, and it is the first time that Norden has seen such a fast battleship.
The Tang Man actually did not run full horsepower, otherwise it could reach a speed of more than 30 knots, I don't know what Nuo Deng thought when he knew that the Tang Man could have such a high speed.
Not only was Norden very surprised, but even the Dutch officers and men on the three cruisers of the Brave, Loha, and Slender Boat, who were moving at high speed, were very surprised, and they couldn't figure out why the battleships built by Huaxia could reach a speed of 24 knots. Why could a battleship, known for its bulkiness and sluggishness, reach such a high speed?
However, after being surprised, after seeing the direction of the Tangren at high speed, he thought that the Tangren was about to escape.
"Turn right 26 degrees! Give me chase! "When Norden found out that the Don Man was beginning to turn the rudder, he immediately gave the order. Prepare to take this opportunity to quickly approach the Tangren and close the engagement distance.
Although Norden was arrogant, the excellent quality of the Dutch Navy was not false, and Norden knew very well in his heart that the naval guns of the Don were not a kind of decoration. What does the naval cannon mean? Fools know its range and power, and with their three caliber main guns, they can only gain a certain advantage by closing the distance to engage in battle. This point, Nuo Deng knows very well in his heart.
At this point, the course of the two sides changed to sail to the northwest, but under the deliberate control of the Tangren, the distance between the two sides was still controlled at about 12,000 kilometers.
Although the three Dutch cruisers were almost semi-encircled, the Brave and Loja tried their best to close the distance between the two sides again, but they could not do so for a while. Because the speed of the Tang Ren is increasing dramatically, even the cruiser Slender Fu, which has increased its speed to the extreme, is gradually unable to keep up. The only ones who could keep up were the Brave and the Loha.
As for the speed of the battleship Tangren, whether it was Norden or the officers and men on the three Dutch cruisers, they were very shocked. Because they were stuck in the notion that the battleship was a bulky and slow-moving man, these Dutch officers and men did not think at all that the battle patrol of the Don was not a product of this era at all.
The Tangren sometimes accelerated, sometimes slowed down, like a monkey. Li Fang saw that the speed of the Dutch battleship Slenderman was slower, so he wanted to throw the Slenderman farther away. In this way, the Don Man will only face two warships, and the pressure will be reduced. Li Fang knew that the Tang Man had the ability to strike with one-on-three or five-on-one, but Li Fang didn't want to do it.
Li Fang was always anxious about Sun Hao's words, everything was fought on the premise of saving the lives of soldiers, even if he wasted more shells. For Sun Hao to cherish his soldiers so much, whether it was Li Fang or other officers and soldiers, they were all very moved. In the hearts of all officers and soldiers, Sun Hao is his master, even if the master lets him die immediately, he can't resist.
Seeing that the Dutch Slender Man was getting farther and farther away, and seeing that the Brave and Loha were only about 12,000 meters away from him, Li Fang gave the order for an artillery bombardment.
"Fire!" At 1:55 a.m., the Don opened fire first.
After the data obtained by the radar fire control system, the gun commander of the Donman gave the order to open fire.
Rumble! .... Rumble! Several shelling sounded like muffled thunder.
The three twin 380-mm guns on the Don Man shone with orange-red sparks and roared at the same time. Six shells, with a sharp shout, slammed into the Brave 12,000 kilometers away.
After the Tang Man fired, the three powerful naval guns fired at the same time, and the powerful recoil pushed the Tang Man to a distance of about half a meter, stirring up a wave on the sea surface, and several sailors on the deck were even thrown on the deck by the force of the powerful recoil translation battleship.
Wu Minghua was an inexperienced naval soldier, and she had no idea that the battleship would bring such a powerful recoil after firing. Even though the captain told her again and again during training, she still forgot about it.
Wu Minghua also knocked her mouth when she was thrown on the deck, so when she stood up, her mouth was full of blood. But she didn't have the slightest look of pain, but was excited, and the battleship she was on finally began to strike at the enemy. After Wu Minghua stood up, she immediately returned to her post.
All the officers and men on the cruiser Brave began to shell when they saw that the Tang Man was so far away, and everyone from the captain to the ordinary soldiers thought that the captain of the Tang Man had a funny head.
