373 Sea bayonet
The cannon roared on the sea, and the battle was extremely fierce.
Okawauchi Fuqi performed extremely impressively in the past ten minutes, and the Japanese fleet also showed unusually well-trained.
Immediately afterwards, Fu Qi of Okawa gave Zheng Xuechang a shock again.
Originally, the two armies formed a double parallel formation, and they went in opposite directions. Zheng Xuechang thought that the Japanese army was planning to seize the tail of the naval resistance fleet with its mobility advantage, so as to form a T-shaped battle formation.
You must know that the four existing warships of the Naval Resistance Force are all around 30 knots. The speed of the two Japanese heavy cruisers was 35 knots, and the speed of the destroyers was more than 36 knots. From a tactical point of view, the Japanese army, with proper command, was fully capable of forming such a formation. So as to seize the horizontal head position of the T-shaped battle formation. The T-shaped formation formed by the Naval Resistance Army was reversed to the head of the Naval Resistance Army.
It should be said that, in general, all generals will choose in this way. After all, it occupies a T-shaped horizontal position, which can turn sideways against the enemy and make full use of the firepower of the battleship.
However, for such tactics, the battleship Atlantic has long had a way to deal with it. You must know that the battleship designed by the French had a flaw, and that was that the two quadruple turrets were in front of the battleship. That is, the battleship Atlantic simply could not face the enemy behind its back. But then again, the fleet configuration of the Naval Resistance Force is not standard, there are no heavy cruisers and light cruisers, don't look at the three destroyers as attachments, but in fact the battleship is the only artillery combat strength. Therefore, the naval resistance force hardly needs to consider the formation, and the Atlantic battleship only needs to make a quick turn to ensure that it will always face the enemy ship. It is not easy to lose firepower.
The French warships, the first consideration is armor protection, the second is the loading speed, and the third is firepower. The guidance of this thinking would have been rather imperfect, but by mistake, the seaworthiness of the Atlantic battleship was excellent. The turning radius is quite small. Therefore, it was quite advantageous to deal with the tactics of the Japanese army to seize the T-shaped horizontal position.
In fact, Zheng Xuechang did the same.
But after Zheng Xuechang adjusted the direction of the battleship, he found out: Dachuan Fu Qi's plan is more than that.
Okawauchi Fu Qi's command is ruthless and unusual.
The Japanese only two heavy cruisers seized the T-shaped horizontal position, and with the disadvantage of the heavy cruisers, they confronted the battleship Atlantic of the Naval Resistance Army head-on.
The three Japanese destroyers were unexpectedly out of formation, ignoring the artillery fire of the naval resistance forces, and even sacrificing their firepower, and rushed straight to the Atlantic battleship like madmen.
Is this the winner and loser released by Fu Qi Okawauchi?
As for the intentions of the Japanese commander, Zheng Xuechang was easy to judge. The Japanese wanted to attract the fire of the naval resistance forces with heavy cruisers, and relied on destroyers to release torpedoes in close combat.
This is obviously the number of ways to redeem the son, and the Japanese want to take two heavy cruisers. Even add that one or two destroyers to replace the Atlantic battleship of the Maritime Resistance Army.
Ruthless, really ruthless.
The Japanese army has a chance to get out, you know, the speed of the little devil's warships is faster than the warships of the Maritime Resistance Army. However, the Japanese commanders adopted this desperate tactic.
In the bridge of the heavy cruiser Suzuya, Fu Qi of Okawauchi whispered in his mouth: How long has the cherry blossoms been brilliant. Willow Pink ......
In the rumbling of the cannons, His Excellency the Lieutenant General actually had the leisure to recite ancient poems. The Japanese officers looked at each other.
Okawauchi Fuqi has been on the battlefield in China for many years. He has studied ancient Chinese poetry. He read not Japanese poetry, but a poem about cherry blossoms by the great Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin.
There is a kind of paranoia in the bones of the Japanese, who pursue a moment of splendor. Like cherry blossoms, there is only a brief period of brilliance. Isn't it this short-lived glory that Lieutenant General Okawa is pursuing at this time?
It's just that such a good Tang poem was read out by a Japanese devil at this time. It's a waste.
-----------------------
In the face of the Japanese destroyers, Zheng Xuechang immediately sent his three destroyers to meet them. The little devil destroyer must not be allowed to get close to the battleship.
The Japanese called the destroyer fleet a mine combat team, which actually made sense. The destroyer's own artillery fire on the battlefield is not the main combat power, especially against heavy cruisers and battleships. Combat effectiveness comes mainly from the torpedoes it is equipped with.
Between the lightning and thunder stones, Zheng Xuechang already knew that he was wrong. He knew that the Japanese commander was gambling. Because he understood that the Japanese commander was gambling, he knew better where his mistakes were.
The current situation, if it is an artillery battle, Zheng Xuechang, who has a battleship, will definitely win. There is a proverb in chess: one car is ten sons cold. On the battlefield, a battleship is a rook in chess. Not to mention that the Japanese army now has only two heavy cruisers and three destroyers, and it will be difficult to win even if the number is doubled.
For the Naval Resistance Army, the best response should be to take the initiative to distance itself and continue to maintain its formation. It's just that Zheng Xuechang was greedy in his heart and wanted to take the opportunity to kill the two heavy cruisers of the Japanese army. As soon as the destroyers were dispatched, especially when the Japanese destroyers were not in formation, the two armies were scuffled together, and the Atlantic could not take the initiative to withdraw from it.
Of course, there is no way to deal with it, Zheng Xuechang only needs to break his wrist and let the three destroyers fight with the Japanese army. But under the victory, it is really unacceptable to make such an act of giving up the child.
In the chess game of the big war, Zheng Xuechang lost a small amount in terms of tactics at this time. But whether they will really lose depends on whether the three destroyers of the Naval Resistance Army can block the Japanese destroyers. It also depends on whether the Atlantic can take out the two Japanese heavy cruisers before the Japanese destroyers break the defenses.
If it was just the situation in front of him, Zheng Xuechang didn't think that the Atlantic battleship couldn't deal with it, you must know that the many anti-aircraft guns on the Atlantic battleship had considerable self-defense capabilities, and it was not impossible to prevent one or two destroyers from approaching.
However, Zheng Xuechang underestimated Fu Qi in Okawauchi. If it is just such a means, it will not show the old spiciness, ruthlessness and viciousness of Fu Qi in Okawauchi.
Lieutenant General Fu 7 of Okawauchi has doubled up the table again.
The flagship of Fu Qi Okawauchi was the heavy cruiser Suzuya, and suddenly turned on a high-power searchlight. The bright lights stared straight at the battleship Atlantic, and even in the midst of heavy artillery fire, it did not go out for half a moment.
You must know that at a distance of more than ten kilometers, the light intensity of the searchlight is not enough to interfere with the aiming of the battleship, but it provides excellent aiming conditions for the battleship, like fireflies in the dark night, which is very eye-catching.
He used his flagship as a bait, hoping to distract the firepower of the Naval Resistance Army and win a chance to survive and win a chance to fire for several warships launched by the Japanese torpedo war.
But that's just a small measure. More ruthless tactics are yet to come.
Fuki Okawauchi didn't just launch his own flagship, the Reigu heavy cruiser. And he used even more crazy tactics, and he threw the Kumano heavy cruiser at the table.
Although the heavy cruiser Kumano did not turn on the searchlights, it was working with full power to get close to the battleship Atlantic. Ignoring the artillery fire of the Maritime Resistance Army, he flanked the battleship Atlantic at close range.
Although the night battle is not as accurate as the artillery fire during the day, the 14-kilometer-long heavy cruiser battle line is also empirical data obtained through countless experiments by the navies of various countries. The empirical data of the battleship front is about twenty kilometers. It should be said that fighting at a distance of fourteen kilometers, the Naval Resistance Army has already gained an advantage. However, the command of Fu Qi in Okawauchi was to increase the main artillery advantage of the naval resistance army.
The two Japanese heavy cruisers actually approached the Atlantic at high speed, and amid the indiscriminate artillery roar, the two heavy cruisers had already reached the Atlantic's 10-kilometer accurate strike range.
Crazy, really crazy. Zheng Xuechang couldn't understand the devil's desperate move, although the artillery battle at such a distance was not considered to be hitting a stone with an egg, it could also be regarded as smashing steel with dirt. Two Japanese heavy cruisers were able to inflict damage on the battleship Atlantic, but it was almost a dream to sink the Atlantic. On the other hand, the battleship Atlantic, at this distance, it would take only a few rounds of shelling to take out the heavy cruiser of the devil.
Could it be that the little devil is dizzy?
Fight bayonets.
The crazy Okawauchi Fu Qi was fighting bayonets with Japan's national treasure, the heavy cruiser. What he wants is not the survival of the two heavy cruisers, but the Atlantic so that the Atlantic can not be used so that his big killer can be powerful. (To be continued......)
