【Broadcast】Pay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.

"Your Excellency, the seaplane of the people of China has spotted us and followed us all the way. It is clear that they were sending a telegram informing the warships of the Chinese people. We have been exposed. A staff officer said with some concern.

The expression on Nakajima's face was not very good-looking, and they didn't seem to expect that the Chinese Navy would find them in such a short time. After all, in the vast sea, it is undoubtedly more difficult to find a broken ship than to ascend to the sky.

"Our anti-aircraft machine guns, will they be able to knock down their seaplanes?" Shindasa Nakajima asked.

"It's hard! Although their height has dropped to about eight hundred meters. However, once we attack, if we can't shoot it down in the first place, they will climb immediately. We can't beat them anymore. The staff officer said.

Air defense weapons of this era are in the stage of development. The light cruiser Suzuya was armed with 20-mm anti-aircraft guns and 12.7-mm anti-aircraft machine guns. However, because this is the first time that an anti-aircraft weapon has been used, the performance is relatively poor. If you want to hit a seaplane in the sky, it is undoubtedly unlikely.

"Let's try first, if we can knock the other person down. If we can shoot down their seaplanes, we can continue to hide our tracks with just a slight change of course. Nakajima said. The sea is vast and boundless, and it only takes a slight change of course to deviate very far. At that time, if the Chinese navy wanted to continue searching for them, it would have to take much longer. Perhaps, they have already fled. But. If the seaplanes of the Chinese Navy had been following them, it would have been almost impossible to get rid of them. The maximum speed of the light cruiser Suzuya was only 35 knots. The maximum speed of the seaplanes of the Chinese Navy reached 100 knots, which was three times that of the light cruiser Suzuya.

"Yes, Your Excellency." The staff officer immediately went to give the order to see.

Two minutes later. Shooting from anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns of the Japanese Navy began.

"Knock knock!" Several 20mm anti-aircraft guns frantically fired at the seaplanes in the sky. However, because of the height, it was not associated with being able to hit the target.

"Da Da Da!" The anti-aircraft machine guns also opened fire, and a dense barrage of bullets was fired at the S121 seaplane. Several bullets hit the wings of the seaplane, making several large holes in the skin.

"****, they fired, climb, climb immediately!" The mechanic yelled.

The driver has increased the throttle. The speed of the seaplane began to increase dramatically. At the same time, the height of the original only 800 meters quickly climbed to a thousand meters, or even higher. This made the anti-aircraft fire of the light cruiser 'Suzuya' only able to watch the seaplanes flee.

"Yaga! actually let them escape," Nakajima Jin Dazuo scolded angrily.

The failure to shoot down the Chinese Navy's seaplanes meant that they would soon encounter the Chinese Navy's warships. Even though the Suzuya light cruiser was strong, Nakajima did not think that the Chinese Navy would send only one warship to pursue them. They're going to suffer. Perhaps a siege of two, if not more, Chinese warships. This is for the light cruiser 'Suzuya'. There is no doubt that it is a life of death.

"Order the battleship to turn and increase its speed to 32 knots." Shindasa Nakajima ordered. If they can withdraw to the ports of the Japanese mainland, then they will be safe. However, it takes a full day of high-speed sailing. The Chinese Navy, will let them slip away so easily?

"****. I was almost knocked down by them! Is the telegram finished? When will our warships come? The pilot of the S121 seaplane scolded.

"The headquarters has been in contact with the Navy. Our battleship is on its way. This time, little Japan is dead. The mechanic said.

Subsequently, the S121 seaplane followed the light cruiser 'Suzuya'. Hovering at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters above its head, it kept sending the position of the light cruiser 'Suzuya' to the base, so that the warships of the Imperial Navy could encircle the light cruiser 'Suzuya'.

Less than fifty nautical miles from the light cruiser Suzutani, the Imperial Navy's light cruiser Weiyueyan was sailing in this area. The light cruiser 'Wei Yueyan' is the fifth ship of the 'Xuanwu-class' light cruiser of the Imperial Navy. A total of seven of the entire 'Xuanwu-class' light cruisers were built.

The 'Xuanwu-class' light cruisers, together with the previously built 'White Tiger-class' light cruisers, the 'Suzaku-class' light cruisers, and the 'Qinglong-class' light cruisers, formed the 'Nakshatra-class' light cruisers of the Imperial Navy. The 'Xuanwu-class' light cruiser is also the most powerful class among the 'Nakshatra-class' light cruisers of the Imperial Navy.

The 'Xuanwu-class' light cruiser, with a length of 172 meters, a width of 17.3 meters, a draft of 6.2 meters, a standard displacement of 9,800 tons, a full load displacement of 10,900 tons, a maximum speed of 35 knots, equipped with 3 triple 155 mm main guns, and auxiliary guns, including 12 105 mm rapid-fire guns, 12 88 mm high-level dual-purpose guns and 8 47mm rapid-fire guns. In addition, there are six 533 mm heavy torpedo tubes in the bow.

Compared with the previous 'Qinglong class', 'White Tiger class' and 'Suzaku class', the 'Xuanwu-class' light cruisers have not significantly improved their armament. However, in terms of the defense and speed of the battleship, there was a great improvement. The speed of the 'Qinglong-class' light cruiser was only 28 knots, while the 'Xuanwu-class' light cruiser was able to reach 35 knots, entirely because of the more powerful power system. In addition, the armor has been thickened in key areas. This is also the reason for the large increase in displacement.

Compared with the Japanese Navy's 'most class' light cruisers, the 'Xuanwu class' has an absolute advantage in all aspects except for the small number of main guns. Even if the two sides had a one-on-one duel, the Imperial Navy's 'Xuanwu-class' light cruisers were only slightly at a disadvantage.

The light cruiser 'Tsukiyan' immediately received a telegram from the fleet command telling them to destroy one of the 'most superior' destroyers of the Japanese Navy. Suddenly, the officers and men of the Imperial Navy on the light cruiser 'Wei Yueyan' were immediately excited. They had long hated the Japanese Navy's broken fleet. Now the traces of the other party have been discovered. Naturally, they couldn't just let them escape.

"Order the battleships, go full speed, pursue the warships of Little Japan, this time, be sure to make them pay with blood." The captain immediately ordered.

"Yes, Captain. But. Isn't it going to be left alone to deal with the 'superior' light cruisers of little Japan? The staff officer asked.

"Who knows? We are soldiers, just carry out the order. The captain said.

In fact, it was not only the destroyer 'Wei Yueyan' that received orders, but also the light cruiser 'Nutu Bat', which was also a 'Xuanwu-class' light cruiser, and the light cruiser 'Hengshan' among the 'Wuyue-class' light cruisers.

The 'Gogaku-class' light cruiser was the first light cruiser built by the Imperial Navy after the 'Nakshatra-class' light cruiser. Once again, the displacement was increased by more than a thousand tons, and the speed was increased to 36 knots. However, the main armament is still three triple 155mm guns. The secondary guns were replaced with 12 120-mm high-level guns, 12 88-mm rapid-fire high-level guns and 8 40-mm high-level guns.

In fact, the 'Gotsugaku-class' light cruisers are compared to the 'Nakshatra-class' light cruisers. The main thing is that anti-aircraft fire has been greatly enhanced. In the case of the Imperial Navy being built aircraft carriers, the aircraft carriers were equipped with close guards with knives. After all, an aircraft carrier strike group does not only need aircraft carriers, but also cruisers for air release, destroyers for underwater threats, and heavy cruisers for sea strikes. The 'Gogaku-class' light cruiser is the Imperial Navy's attempt on air defense cruisers. In the future, it is also possible that the Imperial Navy will be based on the 'Gotsugaku-class' light cruisers. Development of specialized large air-release cruisers to provide air defense protection for aircraft carrier battle groups.

To deal with the light cruiser 'Suzuya' of the Japanese Navy. The Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Navy mobilized three light cruisers this time, which can be described as killing chickens with knives. Even if the light cruiser 'Suzuya' had five triple 155-mm guns, it was probably no match for the three light cruisers of the Imperial Navy.

Of the three light cruisers of the Imperial Navy besieging the light cruiser 'Suzutani', the light cruiser 'Wei Yueyan' was undoubtedly the closest one, and the other two were a little further away. Moreover. The light cruiser Suzuya was also constantly turning in an attempt to escape. Therefore, if the Imperial Navy wanted to besiege this light cruiser, it would have to take more time.

Subsequently, the light cruiser 'Wei Yueyan' received a more accurate telegram. The fleet command asked for the light cruiser 'Wei Yueyan'. After intercepting the light cruiser Suzuya, do not engage in a duel with it, and wait for the other two light cruisers to arrive before attacking it. Strive to get rid of this light cruiser of the Japanese Navy at the lowest cost.

At two o'clock in the afternoon of August 22, 4621 A.D., under the guidance of seaplanes, the light cruiser "Wei Yueyan" of the Imperial Navy finally discovered the light cruiser "Suzuya" of the Japanese Navy.

The light cruiser "Suzuya" also discovered the light cruiser "Wei Yueyan" that was attacking at high speed. A terrible siren sounded, and a large number of sailors rushed to their posts, ready for battle.

This was the first encounter between the encirclement fleet of the Imperial Navy and the break-up fleet of the Japanese Navy. However, this will definitely not be the last. With the Imperial Navy dispatching a large number of aircraft and warships to search for traces of the Japanese Navy's broken fleet, they will have nowhere to hide in the sea.
