Sea of Burma, Andamanko Naval Base.

Last night, the main fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy had quietly arrived and docked here for supplies.

Commander Li Weijun discovered that the main force of James's pirate group was not near the Solomon Islands as early as seven days ago, but there was always a pirate flying James's banner, which was clearly fake.

The reason why Li Weijun was able to see through it easily was not that James' subordinates performed unqualified, on the contrary, their performances were too realistic, so realistic that Li Weijun believed that James was in the waters near the Solomon Islands from the beginning, so he would lead the main force of the fleet to the waters near the Solomon Islands.

The Solomon Islands is the place where the Chinese and British navies once fought a decisive battle, where the Imperial Chinese Navy defeated the main force of the British Navy and the pride of the British Navy, so it makes sense for the main force of James's pirate regiment to find an opportunity to take revenge there.

It's just that the problem is that the Imperial Chinese Navy has a new piece of equipment, that is, the radio system.

The more Li Weijun attached importance to James, the more he attached importance to intelligence gathering, so he sent a large number of reconnaissance ships and submarines to ambush in the waters near the Solomon Islands, guarding various major waterways.

As a result, it turned over and over again that there were only a dozen pirate ships in action. Under the banner of James, these pirate ships constantly appeared near various waterways, deliberately allowing the reconnaissance ships of the Imperial Chinese Navy to detect them.

According to the normal situation, once these reconnaissance ships of the Chinese Empire find that the pirate warship has appeared, they will inevitably return to report, and there is a time lag back and forth, which is enough for the pirates to change their flags and routes, and cover the real James to lead the main force of the pirate group to the waters of Malacca and sneak attack on the escort fleet where the second prince is located.

However, James never expected that the reconnaissance ships and submarines of the Chinese Empire were equipped with radio systems, and there was no need to return to report intelligence.

During this period, Li Weijun deliberately calculated and created the illusion that the Imperial Chinese Navy was still in the waters near Solomon. And the main fleet has quietly left, penetrating from the South Pacific into the Indian Ocean, and then quietly reaching the Kalimanko Naval Base in the Burma Sea to replenish.

In the waters of Malacca, a large amount of smoke was produced all year round due to the burning of the people on both sides of the strait, which successfully helped James's pirate group to lurk, but also provided cover for the main force of the Chinese Imperial Navy, so that it quietly appeared in the rear of the pirate group.

James also guessed that he couldn't hide the Chinese Imperial Navy for too long, so he planned to fight a quick battle and run away after capturing the second prince.

It's a pity that when he just started to act, and when he sent the reserve of the last pirate regiment to intercept the destroyer Heron, where the second prince was located, Li Weijun, who was secretly in the dark, finally made a move.

On the bridge of the flagship battleship Invincible, Li Weijun calmly stood in front of the radio, waiting for news.

"Report, the pirate group hidden in the smoke of the Strait of Malacca has been dispatched!"

"At present, the number of pirate warships has exceeded sixty-five!"

"According to our intelligence, the Viking Regiment has roughly eighty-one surface warships, and it is currently more than two-thirds!"

"Great, this means that the main force of the Vikings is all here!"

"The whole fleet is out! According to the predetermined plan, there must be no mistake in encircling and suppressing the pirate group in an all-round way! ”

Li Weijun looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally waited for this moment, so he immediately ordered the whole fleet to be dispatched.

At this moment, the destroyer Heron was rapidly escaping, and shells were constantly falling on the surrounding sea, blasting up columns of water.

The second prince was in a cold sweat, if he took a shot, it would be properly turned into meat sauce, and it was the kind that was fried in an instant.

Fortunately, the Heron was fast enough and it was much easier to dodge the shells.

Despite this, when the second prince found out that more than a dozen pirate warships had suddenly killed head-on, his face turned green with fright.

"Turn around!"

"Launch Fish Radium!"

The Heron quickly fired four Fish Radiums, which were not aimed at all, but were only used to block the approach of the pirate warship and buy time to turn and escape from the other side.

However, James had been prepared for a long time, he tried his best and took such a big risk, how could he let the second prince escape.

Soon, dozens of pirate warships surrounded the Heron in the middle, making it impossible for it to escape.

"Report, the pirates have raised the flag and demanded that the second prince surrender, otherwise they will sink us!"

The second prince wanted to surrender, he was as afraid of death as a normal person. But his mind is very clear, he represents the majesty of the Chinese Empire, and if he surrenders, it will be a joke for the whole world to see, and the spitting star of the 300 million population of the Chinese Empire alone is enough to drown him.

"Fight!"

The second prince put his heart sideways, so naturally he couldn't surrender.

At this moment, a loud radio horn suddenly sounded in the sky.

"Second brother, don't be afraid, big brother is here to save you!"

The second prince immediately heard clearly, hurriedly looked around, and soon found that the rear of the pirate group was in chaos, and the main fleet of the Chinese Imperial Navy suddenly killed.

On the battleship Wushuang, the eldest prince held the intercom, turned up his voice to the maximum power, and kept shouting.

"The pirates all listen to me, I am the prince of the Chinese Empire, I am now leading hundreds of capital warships to completely surround you, and those who know each other should surrender quickly, otherwise I will knock you out!"

On the battleship Invincible, Li Weijun also heard the voice of the eldest prince and immediately rolled his eyes.

However, the voice of the Grand Prince did frighten the Vikings and cause them a great fear in their hearts.

The pirate warships that were still besieging the Heron had ceased fire at this moment, and the pirates above turned around and found that a large number of the main fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy had arrived, and they were immediately frightened, and the smarter ones turned around and ran away.

James' smile stopped abruptly, and he was shocked.

"It can't be!"

"The main fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy is obviously still in Solomon's! Did they fly over? ”

"General, don't care if they flew over or not, let's get out of here! If you don't withdraw, it's all over! ”

James came to his senses and hurriedly ordered a retreat.

However, as James' heralds waved the flag, a barrage of cannonballs whizzed.

Boom! Boom!

This was the first firepower salvo of the main battlefleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy, 12 Dreadnought-class battleships, formed into three columns, a total of 144 large-caliber main guns, all aimed at James's flagship Revenge, the earth-shattering, as if it could shatter the sky.

The cannonball exploded near the Revenge, instantly exploding countless huge waves, hundreds of meters high, like a ten-level sea storm, instantly blocking all the surrounding sight, making it impossible for James's orders to be transmitted through the flag.

This apocalyptic destructive power immediately frightened the friends of the pirate group.

Unable to see the flagship's banner, dozens of pirate warships simply did not know whether to continue the fight or retreat, and they were in a dilemma for a while.

At the same time, the main battle groups of the Imperial Chinese Navy also took the opportunity to form a large encirclement.

More than 100 heavy cruisers, light cruisers, destroyers, and frigates formed more than 20 detachments, which launched attacks on the pirates from all directions.

Several pirate cruisers stepped forward to block it, and were immediately attacked by two heavy cruiser formations on the left and right, and in the blink of an eye, they were shot and caught fire.

In front of dreadnought warships, the traditional pre-dreadnought warships are simply vulnerable, even if there are ironclad ships in the pirate fleet, it is difficult to parry.

The advantages of the dreadnought battleship are huge, the number of main guns is large, the shooting accuracy is high, and it is more ferocious after forming fleet firepower. Although the heavy cruiser's 203-mm guns could not easily penetrate the armor of an ironclad, they could destroy the superstructure.

I saw that the ironclad ship of a pirate regiment was instantly fired by a salvo of fire from six heavy cruisers, and the superstructure was instantly beaten into a hornet's nest, and the new armor-piercing blasting bomb reequipped by the Imperial Chinese Navy exploded after penetrating the upper armor protection of the ironclad ship, and the destructive power was several times that of the previous simple blasting bomb, and the pirates hiding on the façade of the building were slaughtered, and they were instantly blown up to charcoal, becoming a roasted whole sheep.

Of course, the pirate group is not blindly beaten, they are also fighting back.

However, the formation of the pirate regiment was often a formation of three or four warships, but their warships were all dreadnought, and in terms of main gun firepower, they were only one-third of the squadrons of the Imperial Chinese Navy. 1V1 suffered, and 3V3 suffered even more, and as a result, less than half an hour after the two sides fought, the warships of the pirate regiment were shot and caught fire one after another, and some were even directly sunk.

At the same time, James's Revenge was still unable to deliver the flag, and the entire battleship continued to explode around it, blocking the view.

This is Li Weijun's tactic, which is equivalent to a decapitation tactic, destroying the Revenge as soon as possible, making it easier to strangle other pirates.

At this moment, the Revenge was already scarred, the hull of the ironclad ship had been pierced through dozens of holes, and black smoke was billowing out, reaching thousands of meters high, obscuring the sky and the sun.

But it's strange, it stands to reason that the armor of this ironclad ship is absolutely not resistant to the shells of the dreadnought-class battleships, and theoretically ten shells of more than 305 mm are enough to sink them. But the Revenge was pierced through dozens of holes, the hull was on fire, and the pirate members on it were estimated to be dead, but they didn't sink.

Li Weijun also rolled his eyes, he knew that the 1 in 10,000 probability appeared on the Revenge, that is, 10% of the lethal penetrating damage never happened.

In fact, James was even more depressed than Li Weijun at this moment, and he wished that a shell would kill him immediately. Because at this moment, the command tower where James is located has been blown up, and all the command staff are dead, and he himself has lost his legs, and he keeps spurting blood, this kind of death as if he has been drained of blood is the most painful. But the fire around him was burning, making James feel like he was being grilled alive on an iron plate, and his greatest hope was to die quickly, it was too sinful.

Ten minutes later, Li Weijun ordered a halt to the shelling of the Revenge, causing the destroyer Great Egret to approach the Revenge at high speed, and then sinking it with Fish Radium.

With a violent explosion, the Revenge finally couldn't hold it anymore and sank quickly.

James finally felt that he was going to be relieved, and finally he didn't have to suffer the pain of death from barbecue and bloodletting, but the next moment he was dumbfounded, and the sea slowly flooded him, causing his wounds to be like salt.

"Fack!"

James scolded, choked to death by the sea, and he had to go through the experience of choking to death by the water again before he could sink to the bottom and be freed.

Before his death, James made a wish to God that he would never be an enemy of the Chinese Empire in the next life.

The sinking of the flagship of the pirate group suddenly caused all the pirates to lose their last backbone, like a plate of loose sand, and began to flee for their lives.

It's just that the pirates missed the best chance to escape.

In the face of the main force of the Imperial Chinese Navy, in the face of the fierce artillery fire of the dreadnought warships, the ships of the pirate regiment were constantly sunk, and the entire battlefield had turned into a one-sided slaughter.

On the Heron, the second prince was quite excited, commanding the battleships and picking out the black hands of the pirate warships that were basically disabled.

"Put the fish radium! Hurry up! Sink him! ”

At the urging of the second prince, a fish radium was shot at a battered pirate frigate.

With a bang, the pirate battleship exploded and sank.

"The fifth! Ha ha! I've sunk five! ”

The second prince suddenly shouted excitedly.

At this time, the destroyer Tiger Heron sailed by on the other side, and the third prince shouted with a loudspeaker: "Second brother, do you want to be shameless!" This pirate battleship is the prey that I have been fighting for a long time, okay! ”

"I sank him, it's indisputable!"

"Adjutant! Hurry up and take a picture as evidence! ”

The second prince shouted, and the adjutant hurriedly took out his camera and took a photo of the second prince and the sunken pirate warship.

On the other side, when the third prince saw it, he immediately rolled his eyes in anger.

The second prince and the third prince began to compete, both of them were anti-submarine destroyers, and they were very fast, picking on the badly damaged pirate warship, and then took a group photo as evidence.

As for the eldest prince, when the main gun of the battleship Wushuang opened fire, he was so excited that he was instantly stunned by the sound of the cannon.

At this moment, the eldest prince has been carried into the infirmary and treated by the doctor.

However, when the eldest prince woke up, he found that the little nurses in the infirmary were very beautiful, so he instantly forgot his task, and began to flirt with his sister under the pretext that it hurts.

At this point, the eldest prince perfectly inherited the genes of his father Li Weiguo, and he is also a master of flirting with girls!

The eldest prince flirted with the paper, and before he knew it, an hour had passed, and the sound of artillery outside had gradually stopped, and most of the pirate warships on the battlefield had been sunk.

Originally, many pirate warships surrendered, they raised the white flag, and the Chinese Imperial warships that attacked them ceased fire, but the second prince and the third prince were fiercely competing, and the two ships of the Heron and the Tiger Heron didn't care about the pirates raising the white flag at all, and directly released fish and radium after getting closer.

On a pirate warship, the pirates thought that the Heron had come to receive the surrender, and they lined up to welcome it, and it turned out that they welcomed a fish radium.

"Fack!"

The pirates cursed, and were instantly blown into the sky, and the corpses quickly flew freely into the sea dozens of meters away.

This caused panic among the pirates, and the remaining pirate ships fled immediately.

Li Weijun was also drunk, but he didn't bother with the second and third princes, anyway, the overall situation has been decided, and it doesn't matter if the pirates surrender or not. Moreover, these pirates were pretended to be British naval soldiers, and they were innocent of death.

Several pirate ships thought they could escape, but unfortunately their battleships could not be able to shoot more than 20 or even 30 knots of the Chinese Imperial warships, and they were quickly caught up and then sunk.

Especially the last pirate warship, he was chased and intercepted by the Heron of the second prince and the Tiger Heron of the third prince, especially the second prince was so angry that he shouted with a loudspeaker.

"Stop me right now!"

"Don't be afraid! I will only sink your ship, not your men! ”

The commander of the pirate warship suddenly rolled his eyes and vomited blood and fell to the ground. (To be continued.) )
