After careful consideration, Li Dingxin finally concluded that the Germans were aware of the fact that their radio code had been deciphered, and took countermeasures in a timely manner. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info╔╗

"They can't get out of our encirclement!"

Although Liu Chuntang already knew the situation, he did not believe that the High Seas Fleet would be able to escape from the net they had arranged.

"There must be one fleet that is deliberately trying to attract our attention, and the other fleet is the one that really breaks through."

"That must be the first fleet that Bundy is in is breaking through, and the other sub-fleets are all feints to attract our attention."

Li Dingxin also thought so, because the dozen or so strongest capital ships of the High Seas Fleet were all in the First Fleet. But he always felt that he had overlooked a link, but he couldn't find it for a while.

"We continue to keep an eye on the main forces of the High Seas Fleet!"

Half an hour later, the 2nd and 4th Squadrons of the High Seas Fleet, which had turned eastward, met the 6th Battlefleet of the British Royal Navy, which had come to seal up.

According to the information provided by the Chinese Empire, the British thought that they were only facing part of the ships of the Fifth Squadron of the High Seas Fleet, but they would have found that there were two extremely powerful detachments on the opposite side.

The German 2nd and 4th fleets had two ultimate battleships, eleven super battleships, twenty-three light and heavy cruisers, and thirty-one destroyers. And the Sixth Battlefleet of the British Royal Navy had only three super battleships, two M-class light cruisers and four L-class destroyers.

"Damn, we're fooled! Send a report for help now! ”

The British quickly sent a rescue telegram. At the same time, the active attack plan was abandoned.

"What? There are two ultimate battleships and eleven super battleships? ”

Li Dingxin was taken aback when he learned the distress information, and what he was most worried about had happened. Sure enough, it was Bundy's trick to deceive the world.

Li Dingxin glared at Liu Chuntang fiercely, and the latter was also very embarrassed, because he did not agree to send a reconnaissance plane to further confirm, but blindly believed in the radio communication of the German army.

"What fleet is nearby?"

Liu Chuntang shook his head and said, "Our main fleet and the British main fleet have turned west to intercept the main force of the High Seas Fleet. Now there was only the 6th Battleship Detachment of the British Royal Navy to the east. At this time, our Atlantic Fleet was also pinned down by the enemy's Fifth Fleet, and it took at least two hours to rush there, and there was no time to intercept the enemy. ”

Li Dingxin thought for a while and said, "No, there are still reinforcements!" It's us! ”

Liu Chuntang hurriedly stopped: "Commander, don't do it!" You are the Supreme Commander of the Combined Fleet, so you can't put yourself at risk! Besides, you're on the battleship Guanghua the Great right now. The significance of this battleship is extraordinary, if anything goes wrong. Even if we apologize for our sins, we will not be able to escape the blame! ”

Why didn't Li Dingxin know this? The battleship Guanghua the Great is the Imperial Chinese Navy and the only nuclear-powered ultimate battleship in the world. The cost of it is too great to lose. At the same time, and most importantly, this ultimate nuclear-powered battleship is named after the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, and its symbolism is self-evident and must not be missed.

But at this moment, Li Dingxin can't care so much, he must prevent any high seas fleet from escaping the battlefield. Annihilation of the High Seas Fleet. ╔╗ Achieve his eternal reputation, which has made Li Dingxin at all costs.

"I've got my own measure! Execute the order now! ”

Liu Chuntang saw that he couldn't fully serve Li Dingxin. I had no choice but to take the order.

Although the battleship Guanghua the Great, the flagship of the Imperial Chinese Navy, was part of the Pacific Fleet, it was never independent. The Imperial Chinese Admiralty separately allocated two battleships, four Aegis air defense cruisers, two escort aircraft carriers, and two missile cruisers to the Guanghua Emperor. Eight destroyers and four submarines, their combat effectiveness is very strong. However, according to the requirements of the Imperial Admiralty, the fleet of the battleship Guanghua the Great did not participate in any naval combat operations, and was only a glorious symbol of the Imperial Chinese Navy.

After the main force of the Pacific Fleet was attracted away by the Bondi fleet, the only fleet that could reach the sea area where the German Second and Fourth Fleets under the command of Vice Admiral Hansen was the Central Fleet of Li Dingxin, which had always been a decoration.

"Attention all the ship, get ready for battle right away! Repeat, this is not a drill! ”

When the battle readiness alarm sounded over the battleship Guanghua the Great, all the officers and men of the ship were stunned for a moment. For them, since they boarded this immensely powerful nuclear-powered battleship and put it into service, they had never heard of when the battle alarm had been sounded.

"Are we going to fight too?"

"What are you doing? Waiting for me to kick your ass! ”

The commander was the first to wake up, and immediately shouted, and even kicked directly at the ass of the soldier who was wondering.

After a few minutes of confusion, all the officers and soldiers on the Guanghua Emperor quickly regained their composure and quickly entered their respective combat posts, and everything was in order.

Although all the officers and men on board the Guanghua Emperor have never participated in a frontal combat operation against the enemy, it does not mean that their combat effectiveness is weak. ╔╗

On the contrary, as the flagship of the Imperial Chinese Navy, as the representative of the invincible myth of the Chinese Imperial Navy's domination of the world, the naval officers and men on the other warships were selected from the major naval academies, while the battleship Guanghua the Great selected elites from the major fleets.

Therefore, although the battleship Guanghua the Great did not participate in actual combat, the combat effectiveness of the officers and men on it was the highest in the Imperial Navy, and all of them were officers and men with rich combat experience.

"The left is full of rudders, the course is 020, and the four cars are in four!"

With the order of the deputy in charge, the huge hull of the Guanghua Emperor Ultimate Battleship quickly turned left. The high bow of the ship instantly split the huge waves seven or eight meters high, and the four ten-ton stainless steel propellers suddenly accelerated, pushing the behemoth with a displacement of more than 100,000 tons at full speed at a speed of 33 knots.

When Li Dingxin's Central Fleet was also in battle. On the Eastern Front, the 2nd and 4th Squadrons of the High Seas Fleet had launched fierce attacks on the 6th Battleship Detachment of the British Royal Navy.

Vice Admiral Hansen had already understood Admiral Bundy's intentions at this time, so he would definitely not miss the opportunity to break through, and immediately ordered the capital ships to launch a fierce attack on the British fleet opposite.

Rear Admiral James, the commander of the British fleet, originally did not want to engage in the battle, but after receiving Li Dingxin's strict order, he must launch an attack to delay the enemy, otherwise military law will be involved.

Before the change, James must have oiled the soles of his feet. At most, they followed the enemy fleet in the distance on the periphery. However, with the British Empire joining the Greater China Co-Prosperity Sphere, becoming a member of the Greater China Federation, and accepting the leadership of the Chinese Empire within the framework of the United Nations, the British Imperial High Command had agreed to enforce the battlefield regulations in accordance with the military regulations of the Chinese Empire during the war. ╔╗

In this way, if James does not fight, it is no longer as simple as being suspended from duty and sentenced to two or three years in prison, but he will be directly sent to the International Military Tribunal of the Chinese Empire for trial. He will be convicted in accordance with the Imperial Chinese Battlefield Regulations, and he will face life imprisonment or be executed for fleeing from battle.

Lives are at stake. James gave up the idea of escaping. is more than being executed by his own people and ending up in disrepute. It is not as good as dying on the battlefield, not only can it gain the reputation of heroes, but also the Chinese Empire's pension for soldiers killed in battle is the highest and most generous in the world.

"Fire!"

As soon as James gave the order, the British ships immediately fired a volley of fire, and the cannonballs whistled and smashed into the enemy fleet.

However, the Orion, the strongest battleship of the James fleet, had only 12 16-inch guns, and could not penetrate the armor of the oncoming German ultimate battleship, the King of Prussia.

Hansen stood in the former commanding tower of the battleship King. Looking through the periscope at the opposite British fleet. Before World War I, Hansen may have had concerns about the British Navy. But since the Battle of Jutland. The British navy was in dire straits, and by this time it was no longer the main adversary of the German navy.

"The whole fleet continues to move at full speed. Ignore them. The first and third teams are responsible for fighting back, but they are not allowed to fight. ”

Hansen was very aware of his combat intentions, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to destroy the British fleet on the opposite side, but he knew that at this moment, the Chinese Imperial Navy had already understood the intentions of the German army, and would definitely rush to reinforce them, so he resolutely did not love war.

In Bundy's words, as long as the High Seas Fleet was not completely annihilated by the Imperial Chinese Navy, and a fleet could return to Germany, it would be a victory.

Although the German fleet had no intention of fighting, the 20-inch cannon of the mighty King-class ultimate battleship made the British battleship tremble after every roar. ╔╗

In just ten minutes, James's fleet had sunk four destroyers, and all the battleships were painted, including half of the island of the flagship battleship Orion, and the rear of the bridge was blazing with long black smoke.

But James didn't let go, and still only bit the German fleet. But he was much smarter, and instead of attacking the German ultimate battleship head-on, he chose to attack the German super battleships and other auxiliary ships on the flanks.

His plan seemed to have been successful, and the Germans, in a hurry to break through, only needed to avoid the firing range of the main guns of their capital ships, and the enemy stopped firing.

The James fleet took the opportunity to sink two German destroyers, which immediately angered several German capital ships in the vicinity. They quickly turned around and opened fire, and the heavy artillery fire soon inflicted heavy losses on the British fleet.

At 5:03 p.m., two Orion-class battleships and three M-class light cruisers of the James fleet sank. James' flagship was heavily damaged and essentially incapacitated. The other British ships were also basically ineffective and could not attack the German fleet at all, and only one destroyer continued to follow from a distance to keep a watchful state.

At about half past five, 42 F6 Wildcat warships loaded with aerial bombs and 13 F8 Osprey torpedo bombers that had taken off urgently from the Wudangshan aircraft carrier rushed to attack the German fleet.

This attack aircraft group was originally going to the 313 Theater to attack the German Third Fleet and the Fifth Fleet, but due to the urgency of the incident, Li Dingxin had no choice but to temporarily dispatch the 21st Air Group, which had just returned and completed the re-loading of bombs, to reinforce the James fleet.

However, they were still late, and the James fleet had already been crippled, and there was no way to delay the German fleet.

"Attention squadrons, our main task is not to attack the enemy fleet, but to delay the breakthrough of the enemy fleet."

"Captain, what are we going to do then?"

"All save me ammunition, and every attack is aimed at forcing the enemy ship to turn."

"Understood!"

The 21 Air Group began to attack the German fleet with the only aerial bombs and torpedoes. F8 fighters released torpedoes from the front of the German fleet's breakthrough, forcing the lead ship of Hansen's fleet to turn around to avoid torpedoes. At the same time, the F6 fighter swooped down at high speed to attack, and the target was only the front command bridge of the enemy ship, which was also aimed at paralyzing the command center of the enemy ship.

Despite the delay, the torpedo weapon of the Chinese Emperor ** is very powerful, with wake self-guidance and magnetic anomaly detection devices, once successfully released within a thousand meters around the battleship, the tenth ** will hit the battleship. Especially for the huge tonnage of the German capital ships, their wake is very large, the duration is particularly long, and it is the best target for wake self-guided torpedoes.

"Torpedo is coming!"

I don't know how many times this sentence has been shouted on the German ship. From the captain to the sailors, the anti-torpedo rapid-fire guns on the ship were fired fiercely at the approach of the torpedoes, but only 12 out of 10 were able to intercept them.

With a loud "boom", a battleship was torpedoed into the stern and lost power in an instant. A number of German ships were torpedoed one after another, and most of the damage was concentrated in the propeller and rudder parts of the stern, because the Chinese emperor wanted them to stop and prevent them from escaping.

"Enemy planes are diving!"

There was a rapid sound of breaking through the air, and an F6 Wildcat ship swooped down at high speed. From time to time, the pilots changed their movements to avoid the rain of German anti-aircraft fire and dropped bombs on the port side of the bow. A two-hundred-kilogram aerial bomb fell on the bridge by inertia.

"Get out of the way!"

The German officers and men on the bridge saw the bombs flying and rushed to run, but they could not run past the blast wave of the explosion, and were instantly lifted into the air, doing a free fall movement in various postures.

The attack of the 21st Air Group had a certain effect, a number of German battleships were heavily damaged, and Hansen, in order to avoid damage to the battleships, was forced to turn to evade torpedoes. To a certain extent, his fleet deviated from the agreed course and wasted a lot of time.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and a strong wind blew on the sea, setting off a surging wave, which slapped at the battleship one after another.

On the battleship Guanghua Emperor, Li Dingxin looked at the sky and the time, and his eyebrows suddenly showed an anxious look.

A storm is coming.

The plan to destroy the German High Seas Fleet before the storm was now forced to change due to the cunning of the enemy and the excessive complacency of its own side.

The abrupt turn of the enemy fleet caused a hole in the net laid out by the Imperial Chinese Navy and the British Navy. But the bigger hole was time, and the sudden movement of the enemy bought them a breather, as it was getting darker and the storm was approaching, and there was less and less time for engagement.

"There has been an exchange of fire on the Western Front!"

"Confirm that there are only the first and sixth fleets of the enemy fleet!"

"Damn it!"

Li Dingxin couldn't help complaining, because Bundy succeeded, he successfully used himself as a bait, and only used two detachments to contain the main fleet of the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy and the main fleet of the British Royal Navy.

"The enemy's second and fourth fleets on the Eastern Front will be very strong, I suggest that the Guanghua Emperor should not be allowed to participate in the battle, we will have a chance in the future!"

Li Dingxin suddenly fell into deep thought, but did not answer, and the Central Fleet continued to go to the Eastern Front battlefield.
