Although the 120mm Ghanaian rapid-fire guns got off to a good start, each Haitian-class patrol ship was equipped with only 8 first-class secondary guns because of the diamond-shaped layout of the main guns, and only 4 120mm Ghanaian rapid-fire guns were available on one side, and the total of the six guns was only 24. And the speedboat has a small target and fast speed, and the difficulty of hitting is more than ten times greater than that of a cruiser? It is obviously unrealistic to completely eliminate the threat of British torpedo boats with these 24 120mm secondary guns, but fortunately, the Haitian-class armored cruisers are also equipped with a large number of 37mm machine guns.

The reason why this kind of artillery, which is about to be completely eliminated by the army, is very popular in the navy is precisely because they are very targeted at high-speed small ships such as torpedo boats. Although the power of the 37mm blasting projectile is not strong, there is no armor protection on the speedboat, and the flying shrapnel is enough to kill and injure a large number of personnel on the boat.

And if there is a British speedboat luck to rush to a closer distance, then the 37mm machine gun is no longer focused on anti-personnel blasting shells, but replaced by armor-piercing shells with strong penetration, the speedboat near the waterline in addition to a thin hull, there is no thick armor protection, hit up is a hole, although the hole is not big, but the reserve buoyancy of the speedboat is far from being compared with the big ship, there is also a huge gap in the damage management ability, there is no need to make many holes, the shipwreck is difficult to avoid.

What's more, Liu Buyun would not let the British ships arbitrarily close the distance, and before the British speedboats rushed within a distance of 1,000 meters, he had already ordered the ships to turn right to avoid it.

Liu Buyun's order was for each ship to turn right, rather than the fleet as a whole, which would allow the turn to be completed more quickly. But in general, doing so can also easily disrupt one's own formation and even lead to a collision with the ship, which at first glance seems quite risky.

However, after the three naval battles that affected the fortunes of the country, the officers and men of the Chinese Navy have long been the best in the world in terms of actual combat experience, and their psychological quality has also improved like a radical rebirth, and it is almost impossible for them to make mistakes in their busyness.

First of all, the Ocean Fleet was the simplest single column, and there were only six warships, and it was much less difficult to carry out tactical maneuvers than the British fleet; What's more, these six warships are of the same type, and they are extremely close in all aspects, even the age and injury records (the hull has not been substantially damaged) are almost the same, so the speed and steering performance of each ship are about the same, when implementing this tactical action, each ship only needs to simply turn at full speed, there is almost no risk, and even the speed can always be maintained at the fastest, the steering is not only completed cleanly, but also the purpose of keeping a distance as much as possible is almost perfectly achieved, The whole process, which was almost like a textbook, was stunned to see the whole process and did not know the inside story.

"It can't be!" Originally, he thought that the strength of the Chinese Navy was only because of the Haitian-class patrol ship, a powerful capital ship that is ahead of the world, but judging from the beautiful tactical maneuver just now, the Chinese Navy has surpassed the British Royal Navy even in terms of personnel quality

If the Chinese Navy overwhelms its own side because of the British Royal Navy's neglected training in artillery skills in recent years, then it is just that, but because of the needs of naval parades and foreign affairs activities, the British Royal Navy has always attached great importance to tactical training, and actually lost to the Chinese, how did they do it?

After centuries of pride and self-confidence were destroyed in an instant, the British fleet fell into a complete frenzy, and the remnants of dozens of ships continued to chase after the ocean fleet that had completed the turn and turned its back to them like moths to a campfire. However, the advantages of the diamond-shaped layout of the Haitian-class cruiser were once again demonstrated during this time, even in the process of turning at full speed, the firepower of each ship did not decrease in the slightest, and in the time gained by tactical maneuvering, not only the remaining dozen British speedboats were all killed, but even the British cruisers that were farther away were sunk several times.

What ultimately made the British fleet completely desperate was that after destroying all the British speedboats, the Ocean Fleet suddenly stopped turning into a single column, and then still had its back to the British fleet

"W-How can this be so shameless?" The commander of the British fleet was almost fainted by anger, and he now fully realized the speed of the Haitian-class patrol, if he maintained the current attitude, even if the speed of the new anti-patrol was a little faster, the gap would only be two or three knots, and how long would it take to catch up before he could get close to the position where the torpedo could be fired?

What's more, because the main gun of the Haitian-class patrol is a diamond-shaped layout, even if it is facing away from the enemy, it can exert 3/4 of the main gun firepower, so long is enough for the Chinese to send all British warships to the bottom of the sea.

Moreover, the British cruisers were all gun emplacements arranged according to the column combat mode, and the naval guns that could play a role in the bow against the enemy accounted for only a small part of the total, and considering the huge difference in naval gunnery between the two sides, it is impossible to imagine that the Chinese Navy will not even have a single casualty, if that is the case, the image of the British Royal Navy will definitely be devastated.

In fact, in this naval battle, all the Chinese warships have been hit by three shells of more than 100mm caliber, and they have all hit the armored parts, and even a small fire has not been triggered, and the possibility of no casualties is very high, while the British fleet has lost more than half of its ships

"No wonder the Chinese dare to fight Singapore, it turns out that they already have a powerful fleet enough to challenge the Royal Navy, the Haitian-class patrol is simply the nemesis of all cruisers in the world, this battle is meaningless, just let so many good young people sacrifice their lives in vain, this is all my fault!" , The commander of the British fleet completely collapsed, and the rumbling sound of the cannon in his ears in the trance turned into all kinds of vicious taunts and curses, and he didn't even wait for the warship to sink and be buried together, he took out his pistol with blank eyes, aimed it at his temple and pulled the trigger, "Bang! (To be continued.) )
