After the end of the twenty-fifth round of the main guns of the battleships on the battleline of the Northeast Navy, in the bridge of the all-steel battleship Yade, the flagship of the Third Fleet, Jiang Hui, the commander of the Third Fleet and the commander-in-chief of this naval battle, had a very ugly look on his face, although he also expected that this naval battle would be very difficult, but he did not expect it to be so tragic, only 2 hours after the battle, the Northeast Navy had sunk 10 battleships, and 5 battleships were seriously injured, and they had lost their combat effectiveness and had to withdraw from the battle line. Evacuate to the safety of the sea behind.

Moreover, most of these battleships were sunk and injured by the British Navy with naval guns, and I have to say that the name of the world's naval hegemon is not in vain, but fortunately, the destroyers and torpedo boats of the Northeast Navy are very powerful, sinking and damaging many enemy battleships, and the number of fast protection cruisers is large, and the destroyers and torpedo boats of the British and Japanese did not play much role, otherwise the situation of the whole naval battle would be terrible.

However, such a big loss also made Jiang Hui's heart like a knife, this is the Northeast Navy's belongings accumulated little by little! In particular, those naval officers and men who have been trained for many years do not know how much they will lose after this naval battle, but now it is certain that this is the greatest loss of the Northeast Navy and even the former naval fleet of the Naval Academy.

Sun Cai, the captain of the Yade, walked up to Jiang Hui at this time and said, "Commander, 10 anti-aircraft fast protection cruisers have been transferred to support the large fast armored cruiser formation in the south!" ”

The confrontation between the large fast armored cruisers of the two sides in the south, the 15 large fast armored cruisers of the Northeast Navy were 3 sunk and 3 seriously injured, and they were in a disadvantageous position, so Jiang Hui mobilized 10 anti-several fast protection cruisers to support, I believe that with these 10 anti-several fast protection cruisers, the second battlefield of the southern naval battle, the large fast armored cruiser formation of the Northeast Navy will turn the tide of the war.

Jiang Hui nodded and said: "Now that the British and Japanese are combined on the battle line opposite us, only 12 battleships are left to maintain their combat effectiveness, and we still have 23 battleships to continue fighting, the advantage is already in our hands, and even we can fight 1 of them with 2 battleships, we should try our best to defeat the British and Japanese fleets, and then attack the Japanese transport ships at the Wild Boar River Pier." If our large fast armored cruiser formation can crush the large British fast armored cruiser formation, let our large fast armored cruiser formation preempt the T-shaped British and Japanese battle lines, or form a two-sided flank attack to deal with the British and Japanese battleships. ”

Sun Cai sighed and said: "But this naval battle is too miserable, in addition to 10 battleships and 3 large fast armored cruisers that we have sunk now, we have also lost 11 anti-several fast protection cruisers, 16 destroyers and 27 mine*-class torpedo boats, and when this naval battle is over, this loss number will have to be expanded. ”

Jiang Hui said: "This time the British and Japanese escort fleet is actually slightly higher than the strength of the entire fleet assembled by our Northeast Navy, if it were not for the two submarines of Bayonet and Sharp Knife sneak attack at night, our naval battle today would be even more difficult." ”

Sun Cai frowned and asked: "Commander, why didn't the two submarines of the Bayonet and the Sharp Knife participate in today's naval battle, if they participated, we would be able to make it easier, or even lose less." ”

Jiang Hui explained: "The last naval battle with the Japanese Navy's combined fleet on Tsushima Island, the Sharp Knife submarine was almost hit by a shell that I don't know which side, and this shell fell in the sea more than ten meters away from the Sharp Knife submarine. ”

While the two were talking, the 26th round of the battleship main gun salvo of the Northeast Navy fell on the bow of the remaining battleships of the battle line of the British Navy's Eastern Fleet and the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet on the opposite side.

The British Navy's ironclad battleship Waldo was hit by three 305 mm shells one after another, and then the ironclad battleship came with a continuous explosion, one shell penetrated the waterline armor of the Waldo, and then penetrated 2 layers of steel plates, drilled into the power compartment, and detonated several boilers of the Waldo, and the fire began to spread inside the hull of the Waldo, and finally with a louder bang, the fire detonated the ammunition compartment of a main gun shell, and the Waldo was blown into two at once, Soon disappeared into the sea.

Jiang Hui couldn't help but wave his fist and shouted, "Okay! Killed 1 more! ”

Two minutes later, the twenty-sixth round of a salvo of the main guns of the battleships of the British Navy's Eastern Fleet and the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet sent shells to the battleships on the Northeast Naval Front.

This salvo of the main guns did not bring much damage to the Northeast Navy, but the Tenbear ironclad battleship was hit by a 305 mm shell hit the turret of one of the main guns, so that the twin 40 times caliber 305 mm main guns in the turret were completely scrapped, and the other double 40 times caliber 305 mm main gun turret of the Tenbears ironclad battleship was also hit in the front of the bombardment, and the poor Tencha ironclad battleship lost all its main gun firepower at once.

This made Shi De, the captain of the Tianxiong ironclad battleship, depressed enough, you must know that the Tianxiong ironclad battleship was hit by a total of 2 large-caliber shells in the 2-hour naval battle, and as a result, the 2 double-mounted 40 times caliber 305 mm main gun turrets were blown up, and did not bring other damage to the Tianxiong ironclad battleship, I don't know if it was luck or misfortune?

Shi De is in the first phase of the teaching team, his hometown is Zaozhuang, Shandong, and now Shi De is scolding in the Shandong dialect of his hometown, and the first mate of the Tianxiong next to him asked: "Captain, what should we do?" ”

Shi De said loudly: "Damn, go on, without the main gun, don't we still have a 155 mm secondary gun!" Continue to follow the battle line and shoot at the enemy ships! ”

After the transformation of the ironclad battleship Tianxiong in the shipyard, in addition to the main gun, there are 12 secondary guns of 40 times the caliber of 155 mm, the rate of fire of these secondary guns is much faster than the main gun, like a 305 mm naval gun, it takes about 5 minutes on average to fire 1 gun, but like a 155 mm naval gun, an average of 1 minute can almost 1 shot.

None of the battleships of the Northeast Navy and the battleships of Britain and Japan that are still on the battle line were unwound, and most of the injuries were caused by the shells of the secondary guns, but these secondary guns rarely brought fatal damage to the battleships.

Jiang Hui was in front of the observation window in the bridge of the Yade, and suddenly found that the battle lines of the British Navy's Eastern Fleet and the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet on the opposite side had actually shifted outward, and the two fleets were originally moving in the shape of a figure eight, so the distance between the two battle lines was getting closer and closer, and the distance between the two battle lines had been shortened to 4,500 meters at this time.

But now the battle line of the Eastern Fleet of the British Navy and the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy on the opposite side is offset outward, which will make the distance between the battle lines of the two sides widen, and the current number of battleships, the Northeast Navy has occupied an absolute advantage, after the 26th round of battleship main gun salvo, the contrast between the battleships of the two sides is 23:11, how can you let go of these two opportunities to fight one.

So Jiang Hui ordered the battle line of the Northeast Navy to deflect 15 degrees to the left, and bombarded the battle line of the British Navy's Eastern Fleet and the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet.

The deception was too great, and British Admiral Bridget couldn't help but curse in his heart when he saw that the battle line of the Northeast Navy was also deflected 15 degrees to the left, almost driving the battle line composed of his own fleet and the Japanese fleet.

Have the ability to let your Northeast Navy let us converge the all-steel battleships guarding the Japanese transport ships behind, and then we will put on a posture again, and then bombard each other face to face, and now the battleships on the battle line of the two sides are equivalent to 2 ships of the Northeast Navy to fight 1 of their own, and there is no knightly demeanor at all, so I really can't have a good time!

Bridget then gave the order to make the battle line deflect more to the left, and let the battleships increase their speed and make a "U" turn, and now the purpose of the British Navy's Eastern Fleet and the Japanese Navy's combined fleet is not to continue to play the battle line with the Northeast Navy, but to try their best to meet with the six British and Japanese all-steel battleships that were damaged but did not affect their firepower.

Next, the two battle lines of the two sides began to stage a good show of chasing me, the battle lines of the two sides continued to change direction, not to seize the T-shape, the British Navy's Eastern Fleet and the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet were to open a certain distance from the Northeast Naval Battleline, as far as possible to meet with 6 all-steel battleships, and the Northeast Navy was to not let the fat in the mouth run, after all, now the battleships are bombarding 2 to 1, where to find such a good thing, It is better to take the opportunity to bomb the remaining 11 battleships of the British and Japanese to the bottom of the sea.

By 4:35 p.m., the remnants of the British Navy's Eastern Fleet and the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet had finally converged with the six all-steel battleships that had been damaged by submarines the previous night.

However, at this time, only 9 of the original 11 battleships remained, and the last surviving Aoba-class all-steel battleship of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet Aoba-class battleships, and the last surviving ironclad battleship of the British Navy, the Striker, were all sunk in the process of chasing the two battle lines, while there were still 23 battleships on the Northeast Naval battle line.
