The attitude of the Chinese towards the outside world in recent years has been unclear, but judging by the current situation, one thing is certain, but anyone who bullied them in the early years will be found by them to repair sooner or later. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The first target was Russia, and it took the Chinese two years to not only recover the land previously occupied by the Russians, but also occupied a large area of Russian land, and the battle ended so quickly that it was unimaginable that Napoleon did not take Russia for so long, and the Chinese seemed to take it easily.

And now they have found Japan again, undeclared war, this is what the Japanese often do, but now they have been learned by the Chinese, and as soon as they learned, they gave the Japanese a blow to the head.

On the sea, the cannon rumbled, blocking the sound of the sea water slapping against the warship, and the boiler of each warship was at full power, and each warship turned on their speed to the maximum, although this would damage the life of the boiler, and even cause some unpredictable results, but there was no way, this was on the battlefield, if they didn't do it, then maybe they could keep the boiler, but they had to sink to the bottom of the sea with the warship.

This is also the reason why naval warships have such high requirements, because they are used in different environments.

In the face of the roar of shells, the Japanese Combined Fleet suddenly launched another charge against the Chinese naval fleet, and in order to shorten the distance between the two sides faster, the Japanese Combined Fleet chose to straighten the bow and stern, that is, to advance in a straight line, and at the same time prohibit the firing of cannons to avoid the recoil affecting the speed of the battleship.

This is tantamount to exposing the entire fleet to the attack of the other side, closing the distance between the two sides at the expense of itself, and even if it is counterattacked, it will not be possible to let all the main guns attack at the same time. But in the same way, this will also reduce the bomb area of the warship, which can avoid the warship from being shot to the greatest extent.

"Commander, the Japanese torpedo boats have shifted behind our fleet!" On a destroyer in the middle of the line, the staff officer reported the situation outside to Sa Zhenbing.

"Behind us?" Sa Zhenbing frowned slightly.

This was not good news, the Japanese torpedo boats had been driven out by the destroyer formation, leaving them with nowhere to do, and in the next two hours, only about thirty of the more than forty Japanese torpedo boats remained, and a full eleven were sunk.

But the remaining torpedo boats should not be underestimated, because torpedoes are a greater threat to warships, and if you are lucky, it is very possible for a torpedo to sink a battleship.

And the Japanese torpedo boats went around behind the fleet, so what did they want to do? Raid from behind? But this also seems unlikely, there are also five destroyers behind the fleet to protect, although the loss is not comparable, but in that position, it is also within the range of the secondary guns of the main fleet, so the defense capability behind the fleet is actually not weak, and even stronger than the side.

Because the destroyer and the capital ship on the side are only a T-shaped position, the purpose is to allow the capital ship to attack the enemy with all its strength, so that the secondary gun on the back is useless, and the main gun in front cannot attack the torpedo boat, so the side can only rely on the destroyer to be responsible.

So, in this case, the Japanese torpedo boats had no chance to get closer, and where they would encounter more intense artillery fire than from the side, and all the side guns of all the capital ships, plus five destroyers, would be enough to sink all the torpedo boats that appeared behind them in half an hour.

Even if it is a surprise attack, it should not be chosen in that position, but on both sides, so what are the Japanese doing this for?

Sa Zhenbing glanced at the chart, on which were placed the model formation of the enemy and our ships, the torpedo boat fired torpedoes at that position, as long as they could detect it in advance and put themselves in the right position, unless it was extremely unlucky, it would not be difficult to dodge the attack.

Kindness?

Sa Zhenbing suddenly thought of the previous method they had used to deal with the Japanese Combined Navy fleet, wasn't it just to use the frigate's high-speed maneuvering ability to go around in front of the Japanese fleet in advance and launch torpedoes to delay their speed and force them to turn?

The Japanese apparently did not want to force them to turn, because that would do them little good, but they could lose some torpedo boats and consume a lot of torpedoes. What if the main Japanese fleet went at full speed? In order to maintain this distance, they will inevitably choose to retreat, so as to passively shorten the distance between them and the torpedo boat formation, allowing the fleet to re-enter the range of torpedo attacks.

Taking advantage of the fleet's efforts to dodge torpedoes, the Japanese main fleet quickly approached and re-shifted the tide of the battle to their advantage, no matter what the final result would be, but at least in that case, Japan still had the possibility of winning, and even if they could not win, they would have the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on their capital ships.

"Hmph, it turned out to be this abacus!" After seeing the intentions of the Japanese naval fleet clearly, Sa Zhenbing suddenly burst out laughing.

The calculations of the Japanese were indeed good, but they ignored the fact that the speed of the Imperial Chinese Navy fleet was faster than that of the Japanese fleet, and even in the face of the Japanese torpedo boats, they did not suffer much.

On the contrary, if this tactic of the Japanese were to be carried out by the Chinese navy, then the chances of success would be very high, because the maximum speed of the nine frigates reached a terrifying thirty-two knots, which was faster than the Japanese torpedoes, and as long as the main fleet launched a charge, no matter where the Japanese fleet fled, the frigate formation would be able to circle in front of them in a short time and release torpedoes to attack.

However, the torpedo boat formation of the Japanese fleet did not occupy an absolute advantage in speed, so it was impossible to succeed in carrying out this plan at this time, because there were directions to break through everywhere, and they could throw off the Japanese main fleet at any time, and then march in formation with torpedo boats and slowly kill their torpedo boats.

"Order the fleet to march at full speed to the sea area No. 4, open up the distance from the main Japanese fleet, and take out their torpedo boat formation first." Sa Zhenbing glanced at the small sea chart, and secretly made a decent plan in his heart.

There are two copies of the chart, one is responsible for marking the location, and the main purpose of this chart is to tell the fleet their location, the direction of sailing, etc. The other is called a small nautical chart, which is centered on the fleet flagship and bounded by due north, that is, in the direction of twelve o'clock, and then draws a fan-shaped area, this chart is an operational command chart, which clearly marks eight areas, the same direction as the clock, lined up from one to eighty-one, the chart has a model of the warship, and the position is the same as the current position of the warship.

Directly in front of the fleet is the position of the No. 3 sea area near the No. 2 sea area, which is about three o'clock a little lower, and the Japanese main fleet is located between eleven o'clock and one o'clock, that is, between the No. 8 sea area and the No. 1 sea area. If they move towards the No. 4 sea area, it is equivalent to walking directly to the diagonal rear, and with the speed of the fleet, if they choose to retreat at this time, the Japanese fleet will not be able to keep up with it in any way, because by the time they react, the fleet may have moved forward for about a nautical mile.

Since the Japanese want to play, then Sa Zhenbing also has the idea of playing with them, in one, although these torpedo boats do not pose any threat to the fleet for the time being, but if they are left alone, Sa Zhenbing does not dare to guarantee whether there will be any threat to the fleet in the future.

Rather than just waiting quietly for the Japanese main fleet to carry out their plan, it is better to take out these annoying torpedo boats before their plan begins, and then go back to the Japanese main fleet to have a good showdown.

Today's fleet is no longer the fleet of the past, although the strength is weak, but after a few hours of fighting, Sa Zhenbing has completely regained the feeling of forming the powerful fleet back then, and the only regret is that Sa Zhenbing did not participate in that war back then.

Three minutes later, the fleet began to turn, and instead of attacking the main fleet of the Japanese Navy with the main guns in the front and rear, the main guns in the rear continued to attack the main force of the Japanese Navy, while the two main guns in front and the secondary guns on the right began to attack the Japanese torpedo boat formation with all their might.

And before it was just the attack of the destroyer, the Japanese torpedo boat formation could only be supported by hard work, and now even the main fleet has joined in, and the Japanese torpedo boat formation is even more miserable for a while, and these new naval guns, casually one, the attack power is stronger than the destroyer's firepower, if the secondary gun hits accurately, hits well, it is possible to kill them with one shot, of course, the probability of this kind of thing happening is not great, unless it hits the ammunition depot.

But the 305-mm main gun, this damn cannon is going to be finished with a precipice, with the volume of more than 600 tons of torpedo boats, and the smaller second-class torpedo boats are only more than 300 tons, how dare they withstand such a shot? In other words, as long as they take a shot, there must be at least a hole of at least three meters in the hull of the ship, and at this time, even the Great Luo Immortal will be difficult to save them.

"Commander, the main Japanese fleet is ready to start charging." The staff officer reported urgently.

At this time, the sound of artillery outside has basically stopped, only their own naval guns are constantly attacking, and the Japanese in order to speed up the charge, but even gave up firing artillery, although the impact is not great, but the Japanese seem to be out of the way.

"Ignore them, go at full speed to the sea area No. 4 and attack the enemy torpedo boats along the way." Sa Zhenbing waved his hand and commanded resolutely. (To be continued.) )
