Chapter 151: Fierce Naval Battle (I)

The 'Xianyang' and 'Zhujiang' broke forward to lead the team, forming an "eight" shaped array, breaking through the long snake formation of the Fusang fleet, cutting the Fusang fleet in the shortest possible time, and then turning around to outflank the left and right.

If the Fusang fleet wanted to avoid being surrounded by the Huaxia fleet, it had to turn to the right, so their way of playing was to form a 'figure eight' shape and fight along both sides of the Huaxia fleet.

Nakano Ueeda Daisa's use of the long snake formation at the beginning has its own deep meaning, and from the newspaper, it can be seen that more than 80 percent of the navy of the Huaxia Fleet are veterans of the Beiyang Naval Division, and there has been no innovation in tactics, and it is still the old thinking of the Beiyang Naval Division. Therefore, Nakano Uee combined with the fact that the strength and experience of the current Huaxia fleet are not as sufficient as his own fleet, so he thought about recreating the method of the First Sino-Japanese Naval War again to test the intelligence.

"The decaying and backward China Fleet is still the same as before, and their tactics are still so backward and conservative for nearly ten years, I really don't know how Britain's Far East Fleet lost to the China people! The Chinese fleet must want to make up for the tactics of the First Sino-Japanese period, but unfortunately we are no longer the original Fusang fleet, let me play with you and let you know how powerful the Fuso fleet is! ”

Nakano Ueeda Osa knew the intelligence after the test, and there was no error in the information about the Shina fleet, and he saw that the Shina fleet was still using the old tactics, and Nakano Ueeda was very disdainful.

"Turn to the right, attack the coming flanks of the China fleet, use the cruiser to interfere with the China fleet behind them, and concentrate fire on the two head ships of China!" Nakano's purpose is very simple, that is, to pretend to be a plan, and then suddenly use force to catch the fleet off guard.

The Fuso fleet really formed a 'eight-shaped' formation and attacked both sides of the Huaxia fleet, but the slight difference was that it frantically concentrated its firepower to bombard the 'Xianyang' and 'Zhujiang'.

But this has brought two benefits to the Huaxia fleet: First, the Fusang fleet has a fixed turning position at the top of the figure, which is equivalent to providing the Huaxia fleet with a fixed opportunity to shoot targets, and the Huaxia fleet at the top of the figure is precisely the "Xianyang" and "Zhujiang" that the Fusang ship cannot destroy! In this way, the Fusang warship, which was able to form a battle confrontation with the Huaxia warships, was bound to be scarred, and the closer it was to the bottom of the figure-eight, the worse the damage would inevitably be.

Second, the Fuso warships were divided into two teams, and the strength was thin, while the Huaxia fleet was left and right. The two columns of the Huaxia Fleet are empty in the middle, and they will not be attacked from both sides, and they are in the shape of a figure-eight, and the two columns of the Fuso fleet will inevitably fight farther and farther away, and the 'Xianyang' and 'Zhujiang' at the top of the eight-character fleet can become mobile forces once they form a situation of eight-character artillery battle.

The speed of the fleets on both sides is about the same, the speed of the Huaxia fleet is no longer as slow as the previous Beiyang Naval Division, they don't have to think about this at all, and the performance of the 'Xianyang' and 'Zhujiang' is not at all under the 'King Kong' of Fusang, and the performance of the 'Xianyang' surpasses the 'King Kong', so it is not a problem for these two warships to take the lead at all.

"Boom ......"

While the Fusang fleet was frantically attacking the 'Xianyang' and 'Zhujiang', the 'Xianyang' and 'Zhujiang' were also bombarding the 'King Kong'.

"Don't fall in love with the war, immediately seize the T-shaped artillery battle array, and seize it in front of the Fusang fleet!"

Sa Bingzhen didn't have any intention of playing the Beiyang Naval Division with the Fusang Fleet, all of which was based on the fact that the Fusang Fleet used a long snake formation to attack them at the beginning, so he pretended that his tactics had not gotten rid of the shadow of the Beiyang Naval Division, in order to make the Fusang Fleet despise them.

This wild goose formation is just a look, the purpose of the Huaxia fleet is to seize the T-shaped battle formation, and they have a psychological shadow of the 'six' formation.

Just when the Huaxia fleet was about to seize the T-shaped battle formation, the Fusang fleet suddenly moved, they were not shelling both sides of the Huaxia fleet, but the fleet accelerated and wanted to go around the back of the Huaxia fleet to eat those cruisers, and then concentrate firepower to break the Huaxia fleet from the middle and divide and encircle.

"Fool, you think you can have an advantage in this way, you underestimate us too much, see how you respond!" Nakano Uee self-righteously thought that he had seen the purpose of the Huaxia Fleet clearly, but he also made him crooked, making the Huaxia Fleet, which was preparing to seize the T-shaped battle formation, misguide.

However, this was also expected by the Huaxia fleet, they didn't care about the Fuso fleet's approach, and began to close quickly while accelerating forward, wanting to form an inverted T-shaped battle formation, and the cruiser also entered the range protected by the inverted T-shape.

"Bastard, immediately stop the people of China from forming an inverted T-shaped formation, and give up the plan to divide and encircle!"

Nakano Uee regretted it very much, because he ignored that the performance of the Huaxia Fleet was similar to theirs, and it was not the Beiyang Naval Division, and now it was too late to seize the T-shaped battle array, so he could only stop it.

The Fuso fleet gave up the plan of division and encirclement, and suddenly stopped and continued to advance to the rear, approaching both sides of the Huaxia fleet, trying to break up the Huaxia fleet and prevent the Huaxia fleet from forming a formation.

"Boom ......"

The last 'Empress of India' and 'Dreadnought' were attacked by the Japanese concentrated firepower, and the Huaxia fleet at this time was a critical period for forming a formation, and the two ships had been speeding up just now, and the fleet could not take care of them at all.

The Empress of India was hit by a shell from the Fuso fleet, one of the propellers was damaged, and the speed of the voyage began to decrease, forcing it to lag behind the fleet at 13:10.

"Report to the captain, our ship's propeller is slightly damaged, its speed has decreased, and it has begun to break away from the fleet, and according to the current situation, our ship will soon be surrounded by enemy ships!"

"Immediately launched a counterattack, his grandmother's old man is not threatening, I am a sick cat! By the way, notify the commander and request assistance from the submarine forces. ”

"Boom...... Boom ......" The Empress of India launched a counterattack, shelling frantically at the Fuso warships that were preparing to surround it.

"Report to the commander, the propeller of the 'Empress of India' has been damaged and the speed has dropped, and the commander is requested to pat the submarine force for assistance!"

"Let the submarine forces start attacking, order all ships to speed up the formation of inverted T-shaped battle formations, and launch a general attack on enemy ships as soon as they are formed!"

At 13:25, a shell hit the main gun of the Kirishima, and the destroyed main gun of the Kirishima ignited a raging fire, and several Fuso cruisers escorted the Kirishima back, while the soldiers on the Kirishima kept fighting the fire.

At 13:27, fifty meters into the sea under the naval battle between the two sides, each of five submarines in a group, they were separated and stared closely at the huge black shadows above.

"Two o'clock direction, torpedo ready, launch!"

One torpedo was fired at the Fuso warship, and in a short time the warship was hit, stirring up circles of waves in the sea.

Boom, some of the battleships of Fuso suddenly shook, the soldiers fell to the deck one after another, and some of the battleships directly caught fire.

"Shot, water!"

"The propeller is broken, it can't move!"

"The warship was attacked inexplicably, it was an attack by mines, and the Huaxia fleet did not overtake us and hit us!"

Nakano Uee Osa found that his fleet was hit multiple times at the same time, and in the telescope he clearly saw that one of his own warships was not attacked by the Huaxia fleet and also caught fire, his eyes were full of disbelief!

"Damn, what's going on, give me ...... right away"

"Boom!"

Before Nakano could finish speaking, the hull of the "King Kong" swayed violently, and Nakano Uee fell if he hadn't held on to the railing.

A soldier stumbled up to Nakano Uee and said, "Your Excellency Osa, we have been attacked from the bottom of the sea, and it is not clear what it is!" ”

"What, an attack from the bottom of the sea, impossible!" Nakano couldn't believe that Haiti would have something to attack their warship, and it was so powerful.

Suddenly, Nakano Uee seemed to think of something and shouted, "I know, it's a submarine!" The people of China really have submarines that can be used in real combat, hurry up and give me acceleration, as long as the speed of the warship is fast enough, they will miss it, fast! ”

The "Kongo" quickly fled towards the periphery, and the mines just now did not cause any major damage to it, and the other Fuso warships also fled like crazy after receiving the order of Nakano Uee, and the entire Fuso fleet was scattered, and some even ran away.

Five submarines besieged a warship, and the effect was very obvious, the "Kirishima" had already begun to sink, the "Asahi" dragged its heavy body and slowly tried to break out, the two cruisers sank half of the hull, and the Fuso Navy soldiers jumped into the sea frantically.

The "Kongo" escaped for a while before it was hit by a mine again, and a small crack opened in the hull, and the sea water continued to pour in, and the gap began to slowly widen, and a group of Fuso Navy maintenance soldiers were frantically running over to get something to plug the gap, and then began to repair it.

At 13:40, Nakano Uee looked at the Kirishima and Asahi with heart. The Kirishima is sinking faster and faster, and it is estimated that it will not last long, and the Asahi has also begun to sink. At this time, most of the Fuso warships were far away from the Huaxia fleet.

The Huaxia fleet formed an inverted T-shaped battle formation, but found that the power of the submarines exceeded their expectations, and the Fusang warships were scattered, so this formation had no effect.

As for being accidentally injured by the submarine force, it is almost impossible, because each warship of the Huaxia fleet has undergone considerable modifications, and the shape of the hull is very different from that of the Fuso fleet, so it is easy to distinguish it.

The submarine forces did not expect the Fuso fleet to react so quickly, and fled without waiting for them to continue looking for the target, and the speed was also very fast, and the speed of their submarines could not catch up.
