"Send a signal and order the 'Volga Aunt' to lead the right-wing ships to turn course and keep the column moving north at full speed. Order the troop carrier fleet to move southwestward, avoiding a possible attack by the rebel fleet. The other ships followed the flagship and headed for the tail of the rebel fleet. "Barushka was definitely fire-powered, and while he ordered the ships on the outside of the fleet to move north to insert themselves between the Red Navy fleet and his transport ships, to prevent the Red Navy from possibly attacking the transports that had no defense, he personally led the warships that were facing the Red Navy's guns on the inside, driving at high speed and sticking diagonally into the tail of the Red Navy's main fleet.
Perhaps because the heroes saw the same thing, Xu Zongyang's Red Navy formation happened to adopt similar tactics. As soon as the "Zhenhai," which was the leading part of the Red Navy's formation, sailed out of the effective range of its own artillery fire, and quickly followed the order issued by the flagship, it turned around and led the four warships in front of it to turn to the northwest course first, and then straight to the west.
However, the flagship "Humen" and the seven subsequent warships of the Red Navy, which Xu Zongyang personally sat in, unexpectedly did not follow the battleships in front of them to the position before turning, but began to turn northwest in place, which happened to form a reverse parallel with the columns of the Barushka.
It's really good, twelve against eight, the numerical superiority, the artillery fire of your own fleet can be fully deployed, and if the ships of the Red Navy move a little more to the northwest, they will also be hit by another battle column of their own. It seems that these ignorant Orientals do not understand real naval tactics, and they actually gave up such a good battlefield advantage just now in vain.
This naval battle has since been divided into two battlefields. To the west was a fierce battle between the Red Army's river defense fleet and a dozen Russian gunboats, and to the northeast, seven or eight miles away, was a decisive battle between the two main fleets.
The Red Army's river defense fleet was stubbornly entangled with more than a dozen small gunboats of Tsarist Russia, and a group of gunboats surrounded one or several Russian gunboats, and thick smoke rushed out of the wide sea, and the sound of cannons shook the sky. One side is dense artillery fire, the other side is fierce artillery fire, both sides seem to be red-eyed, even if their respective ships continue to burn and capsize, but neither of them will take a step back.
In another sea area, the "Zhenhai" blocked the advance direction of the Tsarist Russian formation, forcing the Tsarist fleet headed by the "Volga Aunt" to forcibly launch a frontal attack on the Red Navy warships occupying an advantageous position in front of them by virtue of their numerical superiority and desperate methods.
It's artillery fire again, and it's you dead and alive. The "Zhenhai" led the other two warships to respond with sharp artillery fire and resist the clamor of Tsarist Russia, while the "Dinghai" in the array rushed straight into the Tsarist Russian transport fleet that was desperately dodging to the rear of its own fleet.
Barushka was so arrogant that he didn't even think of putting even a single cannon on a troop carrier, although he could not catch up with the Red Army's gunboats, at least he would not be beaten in vain. The sea was full of dying and struggling Russian army officers and soldiers, who had been expecting to "fire" after landing on the coast, but now they could only compete with the sea.
In the southeast, Xu Zongyang and Barushka also fought so that their eyes were red, and the two fleets, which were slowing down almost at the same time, would rain down on their opponents with the countless shells that they could send into the barrels at the fastest speed.
"Colonel, the rebels are attacking our troop carrier, and one of the troop carriers has been destroyed by the rebels...... Oh, God...... There is a ......"
"Lord Colonel, the last troop transport ship has sunk."
"Lord Colonel, the left flank Nikolaevsk (formerly Chinese Temple Street) was hit and caught fire, oh my God, it won't be, and a thousand-ton battleship...... Report to Lord Colonel, it's about to sink. ”
"Your Excellency Colonel, the ammunition compartment of the right-wing Khabarovsk (formerly the Chinese Boli) was hit......"
Hearing the constant reports of the lookouts, Barushka, who had been observing the battle with telescopes on the Tsaritsyn, the flagship of the Russian fleet, was stunned. Nikolaevsk and Khabarovsk are the hearts and minds of His Excellency Commander Muravyov, and it was they who helped His Excellency Commander to achieve the glory of winning hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of Chinese land for His Majesty the Tsar! He couldn't figure out how a bunch of stupid Orientals, who couldn't even understand what "mathematics" was, could know how to drum up such a powerful navy?
Xu Zongyang's eyes turned red, and when a round of shooting came down, and his fleet sent two more Tsarist warships to the bottom of the sea, his ship group began to turn around and head north again, as if it was about to rush at full speed from behind to the Tsarist Russian ship group that was entangled with the "Zhenhai" and other Red Navy warships......
"Colonel, the rebels are fleeing!"
The captain of the ship, Major Korcha, couldn't tell whether it was surprise or frustration, which made the blood-red Barushka even more heartbroken, really ***, after fighting for a long time, he lost several capital warships, and the dignified Tsarist Navy did not have any results. Not only that, but the careful and intelligent Barushka seems to have suddenly discovered another problem. The Red Navy's shells are so powerful that as long as they take one shot, their own warships seem to be about to break their tendons and fractures, and the shells on these battleships under their own command are four or five shots in a row, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve their kind of effect. Look at it, several rebel warships are obviously smoking, but they just don't sink, it's really *** ghost.
"Chase, catch up, concentrate your forces, and be sure to sink the flagship of the rebels!"
The Tsarist fleet changed the formation of the formation again while fighting, and looked at it, but this time it really didn't have time to take care of it. No one will think of those "little tadpoles" of the Red Navy, no wonder, this kind of thing is so fresh, who will always think about them.
All the Russian officers and soldiers, including Barushka, were red-eyed and busy, complaining that they had met a "ghost", but the "ghost" really came to the door. When Barushka was preoccupied with directing the group of ships to swarm up and chase the battle group led by the flagship of the Red Navy, which suddenly changed formation and rushed north, he never imagined that in the opposite direction of the Red Navy formation, that is, behind his buttocks, three small groups of speedboats were speeding over.
These boats were running so fast that when the officers and men of the Russian warships at the back of the queue stumbled upon them, but before they could hoist their flags and inform the flagships of Barushka on the flagship, they broke through the sparse so-called artillery interception and "flew" in front of the Russian fleet. With more than a dozen churning white waves, followed by bursts of explosions, the flames rushed, and all over the sky were broken ship planks, masts, and cannon barrels that had been lifted, along with the bodies of Tsarist Russian officers and soldiers.
This time, Barushka definitely did not adjust any course, but just deflected the course and ran northeast at full speed and rushed out of the battlefield. He didn't want to care about anything now, he couldn't care about anything, the signal hanging on the flagship was to withdraw from the battle immediately, and he himself didn't even have the opportunity to pick up a telescope and take a serious look at the legendary "little tadpole", or rather, the courage seemed to be gone, just kept urging the engine room, just one word "fast".
It's terrifying, just a few things the size of a broken fishing boat can blow up a thousand-ton warship in the blink of an eye. He was glad that if it weren't for the three battleships at the bottom of his ship just now, he was afraid that the first one who would be unlucky would have been himself. How many days later, as long as Barushka closed his eyes and thought about the battle in Shanghai, it was like a nightmare.
Under the farewell of the Red Navy's torpedo boats, the remaining dozen or so main warships of the Third Fleet in Balushka, with infinite horror and at the cost of two battleships, finally got rid of the pursuit of the Red Navy and fled without a trace. However, none of the small gunboats they were entangled with the Red Army's river defense fleet could escape under the encirclement of the main fleet of the Red Navy, which had won a great victory.
Another great war ended with a very disparity in the number of ships lost by both sides, with two Red Navy warships seriously damaged and three lightly damaged, and more than 10 Red Army river defense fleets damaged. Fifteen small gunboats of the Third Fleet of Tsarist Russia were all destroyed, nine capital ships of more than 1,000 tons were lost, and four troop transports were buried at the bottom of the sea. And the elimination of the Wusong base of the Red Navy became the first and only beautiful dream of the Tsarist Russian Navy.
