The unsuspecting Chilean warship was full of shouting, and officers and soldiers were in a panic. The Chilean Navy, although well-trained, was also panicked by such a sudden attack.

The Chilean army was a bit odd, the army was German, but the navy was in the same vein as the British navy, and almost the officers of the entire fleet were trained in the British style. The British Navy's combat experience can be said to be the best in the world, but it is slightly inferior in terms of training compared to the original. Embodied in the British Imperial Navy, this not very successful apprentice, there is an obvious result.

After the sneak attack, it took five or six minutes for the destroyer and cruiser officers and soldiers to basically take position. And it took ten minutes for the officers and soldiers on the battleship to be basically in place.

In the Navy, it only takes two to three minutes for officers and soldiers on destroyer cruisers to be in place, and battleships in only five minutes. You must know that this position does not mean arriving at the post, but preparing for battle. Don't underestimate these few minutes, in naval battles can often make the difference between victory and defeat.

The Chilean Navy was in a daze, only to find that its opponent was hiding in the tail of its own fleet. And only the Baxia was found, if it weren't for the fire from the main cannon of the Baxia, I'm afraid it would have taken a few minutes to find out.

The only destroyer in the Chilean naval formation turned the fastest, when the Chilean destroyer had just turned around. The Baxia had already increased the throttle to the maximum and rushed all the way east.

Commander of the Chilean Fleet, Torah. Rear Admiral Juan ran to the bridge with his head covered. Lato getting up in a hurry. Juan was hit with a large bag on the hatch on his head, and he was still in a daze. Fortunately, the first mate on duty was quite dedicated and handled properly, and the battleship was originally at the forefront of the fleet, but now it has drawn a big circle and turned its head.

Torah. General Juan finally saw the attacker clearly through the binoculars, and immediately became furious, such a small gunboat dared to attack his own fleet, which was a great shame in front of his friends, and immediately sent a cruiser to join the pursuit. On the battleship "Admiral Latorre", there is a "friend of this book".

This time, he said that he had made great efforts to eliminate the Naval Resistance Army, and not only bought Chilean non-ferrous metals at a high price, but also gave two destroyers to the Chilean Navy in the name of friendship. Of course, Xiao Yuben was not willing to give the latest destroyer to Chile, but the two oldest Fengfeng-class destroyers, but they were repainted and decorated.

This destroyer naval resistance was once sunk, and its advantage was that it was fast and powerful, while it had the disadvantage that the superstructure was too heavy and the center of gravity was too high. This destroyer had torpedo launchers, but the torpedoes used were junk goods used by the Navy during the First World War, and it was impossible for Chile to give the 93 oxygen torpedoes, which were treasured by the Navy. And there are no electronic devices such as sonar. However, the Navy has set up a team to train the Chilean Navy. Now there are five naval officers on board this destroyer.

With a displacement of 600 tons, two diesel engines of 2,500 horsepower, the maximum speed can reach 32 knots. The destroyer given to Chile was faster, but the original cruiser in Chile was already old, and it was not known if it could run to thirty knots.

At the beginning of the battle, the most favorable point for Zheng Xuechang was that the Baxia used a diesel engine to accelerate extremely fast, and it had reached thirty-two knots in a few minutes.

And the Chilean destroyer, when he came to his senses, realized that the opponent was already ten kilometers away. This destroyer is far inferior to the Baxia in terms of acceleration, but its firepower is not weak, and the four 127mm naval guns are constantly tilting shells towards the Baxia.

The Baxia's escape route at this time is S-shaped, like a loach that is flexible and changeable. The destroyer fired more than a dozen salvos, but to no avail. can only speed up desperately to close the distance.

In the morning in the South Pacific, the sky changes rapidly, and the sea is still dark just now, and in the blink of an eye, it is already a thousand rays of sunshine. The Chilean two warships were aimed at the sunset, and in this case, the rangefinder error was extremely large. The escape of the Baxia is thrilling and dangerous, and it is like a leisurely walk.

On this side of the battleship, Torah. It took more than ten minutes for General Juan to receive the report of battle damage, and he was simply furious. Ten minutes, a cruiser was seriously injured and was sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. A troop carrier has completely disintegrated, and the sea is full of remnants of garbage except for the floating soldiers. Another troop carrier that was hit by naval artillery was blown out of five large holes, and now the sea water is surging in, I am afraid that it will not be able to save it, so it can only save people first.

The 152mm caliber grenade weighs 53 kilograms, and the explosives are more than 7 kilograms, and a single shell can kill and injure creatures at a range of tens of meters. The Chilean troop carrier was not small, with a displacement of 3,000 tons, but its length was no more than 130 or 40 meters, and the blast wave of five shells almost completely covered the entire merchant ship.

When Zheng Xuechang launched the attack, he did not use armor-piercing shells, but cheap grenades. But the distance was so close that even a grenade could easily penetrate the half-inch (12.7mm) steel hull of the troop carrier. Compared with armor-piercing shells, grenades are not lethal enough for battleships, but against unarmored troop carriers, the effect against soldiers on board is excellent. Scattered shrapnel can easily kill enemies in the ship's cabin.

Of the five grenades, three hit the soldiers' rest compartment of the troop carrier, and with the violent explosion of the shells, a red mist of blood burst out of the cabin. The cabin was littered with severed limbs, and shredded flesh and blood splattered on the walls of the cabin.

The two warships led by Zheng Xuechang lost a cruiser of more than 4,000 tons and two troop carriers in a short attack. Directly killed more than 300 people in the Chilean Navy. Most of the soldiers had been blown to minced meat while they were still asleep, and God had been seen. Those who are lucky not to die are now drifting on the sea, like zombies. The explosive power of the torpedo and heavy artillery, even if it can't kill the opponent directly, the blast wave is enough to shake the soldiers on the ship away, and it is difficult to say whether they will survive.

Latto. Juan, a veteran, didn't spit out a mouthful of blood, and he had just arrived on the ground, and the loss was so huge that the veteran, who had not fought for many years, couldn't accept it. If you can't accept it, you have to accept it, since a destroyer and a cruiser have begun to pursue the Maritime Resistance Army, the Chilean side has no choice but to quickly gather and rescue.

Latto. Juan was depressed to death, what is this called, the well-trained Chilean Navy was so easily attacked by the opponent, and it was so badly injured that it was easy to rescue the wounded soldiers on the sunken ship, and the sky was already bright.

At this moment, the buzz of planes above was heard.

I saw two large transport planes and six fighter planes quickly streak across the sky. Torah. Juan's face immediately turned pale.

These planes, apparently, did not stop for a moment over the fleet, but went straight to the east.

O East, a destroyer and a cruiser of the Chilean Navy are pursuing the Bashita.

The hand of the Naval Resistance Army was greatly out of the Torah. Juan was surprised that he didn't expect the Navy to have fighters at all. In the previous intelligence, he knew that the Naval Resistance Army had three transport planes, but the transport planes were transport planes after all, and even if they were used in naval battles, the effect was not great. For ships, the greatest threat is torpedo and dive bombers. But the advent of six fighters still made the Torah . Juan had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

In more than two hours, the two Chilean warships have chased more than 50 nautical miles, a full 100 kilometers. Torah. General Juan could only remind his subordinates, immediately send a telegram, immediately return to the flight, and asked for increased vigilance to prevent aircraft bombing.
