After the joint expeditionary fleet of the Eight-Nation Alliance Navy entered a distance of 30,000 meters, they used their 406-millimeter main guns to fire the first round of salvo fire, which also opened the prelude to the naval battle in the Taiwan Strait.

"Boom-boom-boom-boom-" Each 406-millimeter shell, weighing one ton, exploded into columns of water several tens of meters high on the sea near some all-steel battleships sailing in front of the Eight-Nation Alliance Navy Joint Expeditionary Fleet, which could fire at a distance of 30,000 meters.

This 406 mm shell is 1 armor-piercing shell, which directly hit the side of the Green Tower, and penetrated the 152 mm waterline armor without any suspense, not to mention that the old man's star all-steel battleship was originally relatively thin, and it was the waterline armor of the majestic-class all-steel battleship with rough skin and thick flesh, and it was hit by this 406 mm armor-piercing shell, and it didn't want to be able to block it.

This armor-piercing bomb drilled into the hull of the Green Tower, and the 70 kg of high explosive in the armor-piercing shell was suddenly detonated, and a huge explosion sounded immediately afterward, almost instantly, the old man's all-steel battleship with a full load displacement of 14,320 tons was blown open, and the keel of the Green Tower was blown off, after a creaking sound that pierced the eardrums. The Green Tower broke in two and began to sink rapidly towards the surface.

The British naval officers and men on the Green Tower, who were unprepared, were stunned by the sudden shock. What's going on? We are at least 30,000 meters away from the warships of the Northeast Navy, and we can hit shells at such a long distance. What a caliber!

But now there is no time to sigh to the British officers and sailors on the Green Tower, as the Green Tower sinks into the sea, the British Navy officers and men who have a chance to escape struggle to rush out of the cabin, and then like dumplings, puff puff from the Green Tower to the sea, and then strive to swim towards the sea away from the Green Tower, hoping to stay away from the Green Tower, otherwise they will be carried into the bottom of the sea by the whirlpool generated when the Green Tower sinks, but the wish is good. The reality is cruel, the Green Tower from being hit to disappearing above the sea, only a short 5 or 6 minutes, the vast majority of the British officers and sailors who have jumped into the sea to escape, did not escape the fate of being sucked into the bottom of the sea by the whirlpool, and finally the 680 British officers and sailors on the Green Tower, only 18 escaped from the ascension.

In the bridge of the all-steel battleship Majesty, Bridget, the commander of the British Navy's fleet, looked like he had seen a ghost, and asked Captain Bedom of the Majesty beside him, "Oh God! Could it be that I'm still dreaming? Now the distance is 30,000 meters. What is the situation that the seven battleships of the Northeast Navy, with a displacement of at least 3 or 40,000 tons, were able to fire at this distance, and they also hit our all-steel battleship Green Tower? ”

Equally shocked, Bird's omtong guò looked at the Green Tower, which was not too far away from his majesty. He stumbled and said, "Finger ...... Commander, not ...... It's not a dream, those very big guys in the Northeast Navy. It's true...... It really opened fire at a distance of 30,000 meters, and our Green Tower seems to be ...... Very bad. ”

Bridget glanced at the sinking Green Tower. With a gloomy face, he said, "We're in big trouble!" ”

Commanders of the other four detachments of the Joint Expeditionary Fleet of the Eight-Nation Alliance, Commander of the French Naval Fleet François, Commander of the Russian Naval Fleet Makarov, Commander of the German Naval Fleet Tessim, and Commander of the Italian Naval Fleet Roberte. The face was not much better than Bridget, they knew that today's naval battle had been out of their control since the sudden appearance of 13 dreadnought battleships in the Northeast Navy.

At present, the seven battleships of the Northeast Navy with a displacement of 3 to 40,000 tons can fire at a distance of 30,000 meters, which is no longer as simple as getting out of control, and this has already posed a great threat to the joint expeditionary fleet of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

The range of the main guns of their all-steel battleships can generally reach about 15,000 meters, which is their farthest range naval gun, but the effective range of almost 9,000 meters is the limit, and now the Northeast Navy is firing at a distance of 30,000 meters, which makes the joint expeditionary fleet of the Eight-Nation Alliance Navy how to play!

On the bridge of the Fengtian Super Dreadnought Battleship, Yu Fu Tongguò, the temporary commander of the Dreadnought Battleship Formation, saw that the first salvo of the seven Super Dreadnought battleships had achieved gratifying results, and immediately said happily to Zhen Li, the captain of the Fengtian beside him: "Okay! Hit well, you can hit the target at such a distance, and the aiming thing installed on the 7 provincial super dreadnought battleships really worked. ”

Each turret on the 7 provincial super dreadnought battleships is equipped with an optical rangefinder with a baseline length of 13.5 meters, as well as computing equipment and a high-powered shell loader, which not only makes the rate of fire reach 2 rounds per minute, but also increases the hit rate at long distances a lot.

Zhen Li said with a smile: "To be able to hit the target at a distance of 30,000 meters, luck accounts for a large proportion, but this time, those guys in the eight-nation alliance should have a feeling of collapse!" ”

As soon as Zhen Li's words fell, another round of 406-mm main gun shells from seven provincial-level super dreadnought battleships shot at the all-steel battleships in front of the Eight-Nation Alliance Navy Joint Expeditionary Fleet.

The current formation of the five sub-fleets of the Eight-Nation Alliance's Joint Expeditionary Fleet is advancing in a straight line and horizontally, with the British Navy's fleet in the center, the French Navy's fleet and the Russian Navy's fleet on the left, the German Navy's fleet on the right, and the naval fleets of Italy, Austria-Hungary, and Japan.

The front of the 5 sub-flotillas was a squadron of all-steel battleships, and the warships of other types followed behind the all-steel battleships.

This time, none of the all-steel battleships suffered, but one large French fast armored cruiser close to the battleship fleet. Hit by 1 armor-piercing bullet of 406 mm by mistake, did not struggle for long. This large French fast armored cruiser with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons sank into the sea, and it sank rather unjustly. The 406 mm main gun shells fired by the seven super dreadnought battleships of the Northeast Navy were all aimed at the all-steel battleship, but this shell deviated very far for unknown reasons, and then the French large fast armored cruiser was sad.

However, the loss of only one large fast armored cruiser made the officers and men of the navy of the Eight-Nation Alliance Navy Joint Expeditionary Fleet even more frightened, knowing that less than one minute had passed since the first salvo of the seven battleships of the Northeast Navy with a displacement of at least 3 or 40,000 tons, and it might have been only a few tens of seconds. The Green Tower, the British Navy's old man-star all-steel battleship that was hit in the first round, is still sinking rapidly into the sea, but the second round of shells came again, is this a ghost? You must know that now all-steel battleships have increased the rate of fire a lot because of the installation of shell loaders, but the fastest rate of fire of the main guns also requires 3 minutes per 1 shell, and the average all-steel battleship can reach 5 minutes and fire a salvo.

The captain of the Majesty, Bedom, said with a look of frustration: "This is the rhythm of going against the sky, with an effective range of 30,000 meters, and a rate of fire that can fire 2 rounds in about 1 minute." Your Excellency, what do we do next? Even if there are only these 7 battleships, the Northeast Navy can use them to keep a distance from our Eight-Nation Alliance Navy Joint Expeditionary Fleet, and then not get close to us. Outside the range of our main guns, destroy us little by little. ”

Bridget was the commander of the British Naval Fleet and was also chosen as the commander of the Joint Expeditionary Fleet of the entire Eight-Nation Alliance. At this point, his sanity told him that this naval battle could not continue. However, the Eight-Nation Alliance Naval Joint Expeditionary Fleet, which gathers the most powerful naval power on the planet, retreats like this, and it will definitely become the laughing stock of the whole world. And the honor of the British Royal Navy does not allow him to flinch at this moment.

Bridget said in a deep voice: "Pass my order, the whole fleet will speed up to the main fleet of the Northeast Navy, and we must get close to these dreadnought battleships of the Northeast Navy, so that our main guns can be within the effective range." ”

After a pause, Bridget continued: "Let the Russian detachment break away from the current formation and outflank the main fleet of the Northeast Navy from the left, and the detachments of Italy, Austria-Hungary, and Japan will also break away from the current formation and outflank the main fleet of the Northeast Navy. I don't know when the Japanese and US navies on the other side of the Taiwan Strait will arrive on the battlefield, and the speed of these dreadnought battleships of the Northeast Navy will not be slow, and we must try to reduce the range of their activities, otherwise they will keep distancing themselves from us, and we will be completely beaten. ”

Bridget wanted to encircle the main fleet of the Northeast Navy from all sides, so that the dreadnought battleships of the Northeast Navy that suddenly appeared would lose room for movement, so that the dreadnought battleships of the Northeast Navy could enter the range of the main guns of the all-steel battleships of the Eight-Nation Alliance Navy Joint Expeditionary Fleet.

On the bridge of the Fengtian Super Dreadnought Battleship, Yu Fu said to Zhen Li: "According to our plan in advance, the speed of the 7 provincial super dreadnoughts is relatively fast, forming a battleship team, and the other 6 Dragon-class dreadnought battleships form another battleship team to implement the sling tactics against the naval fleet of the Eight-Nation Alliance. However, the old man believes that the maximum speed of our super dreadnought battleships Fengtian, Jilin, Heilongjiang, and Yalu River, as well as the maximum speed of 28 knots of Luzon, Inner Mongolia, and Outer Mongolia, do not need to be exposed in this naval battle at all, and these 7 super dreadnought battleships only need to follow the 6 Dragon-class dreadnought battleships to maintain a speed of about 20 knots, and the maximum speed of the Dragon-class dreadnought battleships can also reach 21 knots, and those all-steel battleships of the Eight-Nation Alliance cannot reach this speed at all. We can still use the slinging tactics. Hehe, wait for the next fight, the speed of our 7 super dreadnought battleships is still the killer feature of our Northeast Navy. ”

Zhen Li thought for a moment and said: "The old man has thought it through, although we have exposed 13 dreadnoughts in this naval battle, but the amazing speed of 7 super dreadnought battleships can be hidden temporarily, so that those foreigners think that the maximum speed of our dreadnought battleships is just over 20 knots, and it will be of great use to leave a killer weapon in the hands of our Northeast Navy. ”

Yu Fu said with a smile: "Okay, that's it, send a telegram to the dreadnought battleships, tell them the order of their old man, our 13 dreadnought battleships are no longer divided into 2 teams, but maintain a speed of 20 knots, form a team, and prepare to get close to the fleet of the Eight-Nation Alliance to a distance of 20,000 meters, and then use the speed to maintain a distance of 20,000 meters from those all-steel battleships of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and implement our hanging tactics." ”

The British Navy Squadron, the German Navy Squadron and the French Navy Squadron of the Eight-Nation Alliance Navy Joint Expeditionary Fleet, all accelerated to the opposite side of the 6 Dragon-class dreadnought battleships and 7 provincial super dreadnought battleships, and the 13 dreadnought battleships of the Northeast Navy are equivalent to seizing the T-word, of which 7 provincial super dreadnought battleships continue to use 406 mm main guns to fire fiercely at the all-steel battleships of the Eight-Nation Alliance that are speeding over. The Japanese naval detachment, although prepared to be copied from both sides, wanted to leave the current formation and outflank it would take time, and their all-steel battleships were not missing 406 mm huge shells.

When the two sides approached a distance of 20,000 meters, it was only 18 minutes before the first salvo of the seven provincial super dreadnought battleships, but in these 20 minutes, the seven provincial super dreadnought battleships had completed an astonishing 36 salvos.

Moreover, these 36 salvos were remarkable, and the joint expeditionary fleet of the Eight-Nation Alliance Navy, which could only be passively beaten, was sunk and damaged many warships, most of which were all-steel battleships, which is also the reason why the seven provincial-level super dreadnought battleships only aimed at the big guys of these all-steel battleships, as for the warships of other types that were sunk and damaged, they were unlucky, they really did not aim at them, and they were injured by mistake.

Those warships that were hit by 406 mm shells were seriously injured, and they could basically produce a one-hit killing effect, and the power of 406 mm shells was too great. (To be continued......)
