"Lu Ming, do you want to try the taste of firing guns?" Lu Qi asked Lu Ming, who was full of excitement behind him, Lu Ming was the ordinary sailor who was a little nervous at the beginning, he was a gunner, he made rapid progress in training, and showed a very high level, no less than a genetic soldier. Witnessing the sinking of the foreigner destroyer and the two-hour transition, Lu Ming had changed from nervousness to current excitement, and he couldn't help but nod after Commander Lu Qi said it. Lu Qi smiled and let go of the gun position, it is impossible for these sailors to really grow up without actual combat training, and now is a good opportunity, sinking the destroyer has strengthened their confidence, and leaving the two warships behind them has made them realize the strength of the Nanhai.

The atmosphere in the four triple 152mm gun emplacements suddenly became tense, and many ordinary sailors replaced the genetic people and took on the main role. "First round, put!" Once again, Nankai took the first T-position and fired a first volley, with 11,000 hp giving the Nanhai excellent power as it took the lead at 26 knots.

The first salvo was aimed at the protective cruiser Annoa, which, although it did not hit, had already formed a straddle shot. The Nanhai carried advanced rangefinders and sights at the level of World War II, and fired at a distance of 8,000 meters, which is equivalent to fighting a bayonet directly for the Nanhai! If it weren't for the gunner's first actual battle, he would have been mentally unstable and inexperienced, and the first round would have caused damage to the Annoah.

"Good fight, keep going!" Lu Qi said a word of encouragement, patted Lu Ming's shoulder vigorously, and then quickly organized the loading of shells to prepare for the next round of shelling. Twelve main guns can theoretically fire twelve shells a minute, or how to call it a machine gun! And ordinary gunners like Lu Ming can shoot nine rounds per minute during training.

The Swallow and the Annoah began to return fire, and the main and secondary guns opened fire one after another, but the shells could not fly such a distance. During the Battle of Tsushima, the two sides fired at a distance of six or seven thousand meters, and by the Battle of Jutland during World War I, the distance between the two sides exceeded 10,000 meters, thanks to the improvement of the main gun and the equipment for watching the second. But six or seven thousand meters is the range of the main guns of battleships in this era, and that is still without the use of direct fire, not to mention the fact that the main guns of the two cruisers are only 150 mm.

The gunners on the Annoa were loading the shells, and another round of shells flew by, and the Annoa was surprisingly lucky, the shells were scattered all around, but they didn't hit it. Bruce wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and before he could congratulate himself on his good fortune, the third salvo of the South Sea was fired. This time, the Annoah's good fortune came to an end, as a shell hit its tower directly, and the armor-piercing shell easily penetrated the tower's 170 mm armor belt, sweeping through the entire cabin after an internal explosion. General Bruce, Captain Forde, and others, who were commanding the battle, all died. Not only that, but two armor-piercing shells hit the Annoah, one piercing the 90 mm armor on the left waterline of the front, and one destroying the two large chimneys in the middle.

Although the British sailors who lost their command were panicked but not panicked, the naval overlord accumulated over a hundred years showed its might, and immediately an officer stepped forward and gave orders in an orderly manner, and the sailors also performed their duties, and the gunners returned fire and extinguished the fire.

"Close the distance attack, our artillery range is not enough, we must fight in close combat!" Hydra immediately thought of what to do, the Annoah was wounded, the enemy was concentrating their fire on it, now was his chance, he had to stick it up for melee combat, otherwise it would be completely destroyed!

"The other one is approaching us at full speed." The first mate of the Nanhai said to Lu Hai.

"Our distance is nearly eight thousand meters, and it will take a few minutes for him to enter the optimal attack distance, which is enough, continue to concentrate fire and attack the British ship!" Lu Hai said after glancing at it.

"Boom!" Lu Ming felt that he had entered a state, his blood was boiling, and the huge roar that resounded in his ears made his eyes red, and the rest of the gunners on the gun position were also sweating profusely, constantly filling the shells. Not only did they get 10 shells in one minute, but they also hit three more shots! After three rounds of salvo fire, it is no longer required to shoot uniformly, and free fire is required, and at this time, it depends on how much the training level of the soldiers can play.

Within a few minutes, the Annoa was continuously shot, and the weak armor could not withstand the attack of the armor-piercing shells, the deck was in a mess, and the hull was flooded in many places, and the damage management personnel had no time to block it, and the hull of the ship had been tilted sharply to the right side. Fortunately, the ammunition chamber was not hit, and the power system was hit hard, but it was able to move, which can only be described as a blessing in misfortune.

"Thirty-five degrees on the right side, we distanced ourselves from the other." Seeing that the Swallow was approaching and the Annoah was heavily damaged, Lu Hai decisively ordered. Of course, if you fight hard with the Swallow, you can win, but the Nanhai will definitely be damaged, so why do you do it if you have a way to win unscathed. During the turn of the Nanhai, the various gun positions were still able to attack the Annoir until the turn was complete, and three more shells were hit. The Annoah looked smoky and heavily tilted, but it could still move, it just didn't sink.

Hydra almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, and finally approached the enemy ship and had to run again! In the course of its turn, the Swallow fired two rounds of shells, but neither hit the target. It's not that the quality of their own sailors is not good, but at this distance, no country's sailors can guarantee to hit in the first few rounds, and the British Navy is not good either! The question is, how did that warship manage to be so accurate?

Looking at the elegant ass of the warship, Hydra wanted to give up, the Annoah had suffered heavy losses, and if he gave up the pursuit and went back, he would be able to save a lot of people - in his mind, the Annoah would definitely sink. Still hesitating to pursue, the devil warship made a big circle on the sea, and turned back again! In this way, the distance is widened again.

"Fire, fire!" Can't sit still, fire with all your strength and still have a chance to hit the enemy, Hydra shouted at his men, casually looking back, what's the situation?

The Annoah, shrouded in smoke and in disarray, was still moving, and in the direction it came! It's the rhythm of throwing up the swallow and running away alone! Hydra suddenly felt stabbed in the heart, the innocent, fledgling German Navy was betrayed by the British Navy, who had been pirates for hundreds of years, in fact, at first the German Swallow could abandon the Annoah and flee first, but in order to take care of the overall situation, Hydra took the initiative to attack and share the firepower for the Annoah. The sincere effort did not get the due return, and at this time it was too late for the Swallow to escape, and the shells on the Nanhai flew over, and it could die faster by retreating rashly.

In fact, the British have a tradition of betraying their teammates, for example, during the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese expeditionary force went deep into Burma, and the British army was frightened by the Japanese army and was eager to retreat to India. Another example is the retreat from Dunkirk, when the British organized a convoy of transports to bring back most of the British troops, while most of the French troops went to concentration camps. The armies of many countries are labeled, such as the British army pits teammates, the Italian army noodles, the German army is invincible, the Russian army is crowded, the Japanese army bushido, the American aircraft and artillery and so on.

Twelve 152-mm guns fired an average of 120 shells per minute, and thanks to the excellent quality of the steel base, the guns were not damaged, the barrels were only a little hot, and it was not yet time to replace them. The South Seas were in full swing, the Swallow was in dire straits, and the soldiers at the bottom had not yet noticed the departure of the coalition allies, and the successive hits made them have no mind to think about anything else.

"Give the order to stop resisting, we surrender!" Hydra thought that he would be reprimanded by his subordinates after saying this with all his strength, but he didn't expect that the commander tower was full of decadent expressions and desperate looks, they should indeed be desperate, the Swallow has not hit the enemy ship since it was fired, but was hit by many shells, and it is the saddest thing that it can only be beaten and cannot fight back, not to mention that it can't run.

"Huh?" Lu Hai was a little puzzled, the warship looked at the flag should be a German warship, and it actually raised a white flag! The impression of the German soldier Niu X is terrible, how can he surrender? I should fight to the death! This is the difference between the cultures of the East and the West, the Easterners can't accept surrender and think it's a shame, while the Westerners have been squeezed into a small European melee for thousands of years, you have me, I have you, surrender is too normal, if you fight to the death in every battle, there will be few people left.

Lu Haiyin smiled and said: "Raise the flag, accept the surrender, let them lower the muzzle, stop the boiler, stay where we are, and wait for us to receive it." All the guns are ready, lean in and fire together, sinking it in the first place! "Yes, there are no prisoners allowed in this battle, not to mention those invaders who are inferior to beasts, and must sink to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean with men and ships, so as to ensure the secrecy of the Nanhai to the greatest extent.
