Chapter 522: Wolves

"Commander, can they still win like this?" The chief of staff said in disbelief, as soon as he finished speaking, there was another big explosion on the battlefield in the distance, and the British prestige was finished, and the battleship was also blown in half because of the explosion of ammunition, and the battleship was also the flagship of the Caribbean Fleet of the British Navy, and there was a lieutenant commander on it.

At the same time, however, the Anglo-Russian fleet also reaped the fruits of victory, and the Argentine heavy cruiser May 25 was shelled by a 305 shell from the Pavrel, which in the final analysis could not be compared with the battleships in terms of armor, even if it was a lot worse than the battle cruisers. The shell directly penetrated the waterline armor and exploded inside, and the explosion caused heavy damage to the power system, and the cruiser, which could have reached thirty-five knots at the earliest, was suddenly reduced to twenty knots, and it was no longer able to keep up with the other three capital ships, and the commander of the Argentine fleet had no choice but to let it withdraw from the battle.

"It's not easy to win." Lin Guoxiang looked at the May 25 issue, which was leaving the battlefield and retreating to the protective circle of light cruisers and destroyers, and said: "Separate the cruiser from the destroyer, the destroyer rushes up from the rear of the battlefleet, and the cruiser rushes up from the front of the battlefield, and first fights the Argentine destroyer cruiser, that is to say, the battlefield will be turned into three, and when the deployment is in place, the battlefleet will squeeze the Argentine battleship into the middle, and after squeezing in, the destroyer and the cruiser will ignore their opponents and rush up desperately to fire torpedoes." ”

To put it bluntly, this guy is to let the British and Russian cruisers and destroyers play suicide charge, but first preset a trap, a trap that can maximize the power of this tactic, lure the Argentine battleship into this trap, and then play a wolf pack raid, as long as those raiding warships can fire torpedoes at the Argentine battleship, even if it is launched and then sunk by the opposing cruiser destroyer.

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and sue them?" The chief of staff said busily.

"What's the hurry, just sank two battleships. Anyway, I'll have to sink two more ships. Lin Guoxiang said with a smile.

His wish did not wait long, after discovering that it was difficult to ensure the safety of heavy cruisers participating in such a battle, the commander of the Argentine fleet then pushed aside the remaining one, leaving only two battleships against the British and Russian six battleships, although the firepower of the two heavy cruisers was greatly reduced, but in the next battle, the two battleships completely let go of their hands and feet, and after opening enough distance from the British and Russian battleships, they easily played there with targets. The poor British and Russians desperately managed their ships at sea, trying to close the distance between the two fleets. But unfortunately, because of the difference in speed, this goal was out of reach, and the Argentine battleships calmly poured shells on them from a dangerous distance, and soon the Russian Potemkin was finished, and although the battleship did not sink, it had to withdraw from the battle because of too much water.

"Go, send a telegram to Lao Nuo, and say that for the sake of the Russian concubine he introduced to me. I sued him for a way to win. Lin Guoxiang saw that the heat was almost the same, and then said to the chief of staff.

Upon receiving his telegram, Nobergatov, who was also a fox friend, immediately realized that this was indeed a good idea, and by this time the commander of the British Caribbean Fleet had sunk to the bottom of the sea with the Prestige. The entire fleet is up to him, and this guy is now out of the way, and if this naval battle fails, the hundreds of thousands of troops who have landed in Colombia will have to be wiped out. He had no choice here. Immediately after that, under his order, two heavy cruisers and four light cruisers were on guard around the perimeter. Six protective cruisers, twenty destroyers, thirty torpedo boats, immediately divided into two groups, the battlefleet slowed down, and then sixteen cruisers plunged forward in a group and put on a desperate posture.

Of course, the Argentines could not let them rush over, including the wounded heavy cruiser, and six Argentine cruisers rushed forward to meet them.

At the same time, British and Russian destroyers and torpedo boats rushed from the rear of the battlefield at high speed, and the Argentine destroyers who had been staring at them immediately stepped forward, these large destroyers with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons were designed to deal with these guys, and the six 130 naval guns were not many but had a crazy rate of fire, and the power was also easy to deal with these small ships.

The trap designed by Lin Guoxiang was thus completed, and then the remaining five British and Russian battleships began to accelerate, putting on a posture of desperately closing the distance, the two battleships of Argentina did not realize the problem at all, at this time the cruiser and the destroyer were in fierce battles in both battlefields, and with the advantage of performance, the Argentine battleships did not fall behind in the two battlefields despite being outnumbered, and naturally they did not think too much, because they were worried about hurting their precious battleships, Therefore, the Argentines could not get the Anglo-Russian battleships to close to a dangerous distance that could penetrate their own armor, and could only sail towards the middle of the two battlefields.

"Send a report to Lao Nuo, it's time to do it!" Lin Guoxiang looked at the battlefield and said, as soon as he finished speaking, the British Captain of the Centurion also withdrew from the battle with a heavy fire, and then a series of explosions occurred inside, and a large number of British sailors began to jump into the sea, and it was obvious that the battleship was about to end.

Immediately after receiving his telegram, Nobergatov immediately gave all the cruisers and destroyers the order to abandon their opponents and launch an attack on the Argentine battleships, and the whole sea suddenly became lively, from heavy cruisers to light cruisers, old protective cruisers, destroyers and even torpedo boats, all of them abandoned their opponents, ignored the dense shells smashed by the opponents, and rushed directly at the two Argentine battleships frantically.

At the sight of this scene, the Argentines did not know that they had fallen into a trap, and the two battleships immediately accelerated to the limit, rushing forward at a high speed of thirty-two knots, and at the same time, ignoring the shells of the British and Russian battleships in the rear, they turned all the available firepower to the enemy ships that had inadvertently blocked the front. And the cruisers and destroyers responsible for protecting them desperately poured artillery fire on their original opponents, and some even simply fired torpedoes, and soon one after another British and Russian battleships began to sink in the explosion. But the rest didn't care about these at all, as long as they could move, they rushed to the two battleships without hesitation, and this scene even stunned many people watching the battle from a distance.

As for the Argentines on the Rivadavia and the Moreno, they were almost stupid at this time when they saw the sea full of mad dogs pounce on their enemies, but in the end, the performance of their warships was still very worthy of the high price, driven by twelve 10,000-horsepower diesel engines, three groups of propellers rotated wildly, and the huge body with a displacement of nearly 20,000 tons split the waves like a shark, and escaped from this trap at the fastest speed possible in the vast mist stirred up, and at the same time twelve main guns, eight secondary guns, Even the small-caliber guns were pouring shells at the rushing enemy ships at the fastest rate of fire, sending the enemy ships that came with hope to the bottom of the sea.

But it was a pity that there were too many enemies, and no matter how tight the defense was, there would always be a hole, and soon two destroyers were the first to come into range, and then without hesitation fired all the torpedoes, and twelve torpedoes went straight to the Moreno at a speed of forty-five knots. Immediately after that, a small torpedo boat actually broke through the blockade and fired two torpedoes at the Livadavia, and the two battleships did not hesitate to turn to evade, but at the same time a Russian heavy cruiser also rushed up with a full body of fire, and at the same time was hit by the main gun of the Livadavia, it also fired six torpedoes of its own.

"Madamn, that's what wolves are called!" Looking at this scene, Lin Guoxiang, as the chief director, couldn't help but smile and said, at this time he really admired the courage of these guys, in just a short period of time, more than 20 British and Russian warships have been sunk, especially those small torpedo boats of the British, there is no difference between doing this work and suicide, not to mention the main guns of battleships, just a secondary artillery shell can send them to the bottom of the sea, but even so, there is still no retreat, I have to say that the spirit of these ghosts is still very worthy of recognition.

As the saying goes, the effort will pay off, under the gaze of tens of thousands of people on the sea, the fire mass of the explosion on the starboard side of the Rivadavia suddenly arched, and then a huge explosion sounded, and then I saw the nearly two-hundred-meter-long giant ship jump up fiercely, and in a trance it seemed that the tail had been thrown off the sea, but then it fell down suddenly, and what was jaw-dropping was that the battleship was not affected in any way, and even the speed did not decrease, and it continued to soar at a high speed of thirty-two knots in the splashing monstrous waves.

This scene even Lin Guoxiang was stupid, and Nobergatov's eyes almost popped out, but the Moreno behind the Rivadavia was not so lucky, at the same time that the Rivadavia was torpedoed, it was hit by three torpedoes from the left and right directions at the same time in a very short time, no matter how good the anti-torpedo design was, as the fire of the explosion rose, the speed of the battleship immediately slowed down, but it did not stop, and still moved slowly at a speed of more than ten knots, but this is meaningless, Immediately after that, another destroyer rushed up and fired all the torpedoes at it.

The fate of the battleship was thus sealed, it was hit by nine torpedoes in succession, and with a series of huge explosions, almost half of the hull was torn apart, and in just three minutes, it completely disappeared from the sea.

At this time, however, the Rivadavia also escaped from the trap, and although the battleship had suffered a torpedo, it was evident that it had not caused any damage, and was watching in horror as the Moreno disappeared under the protection of the cruisers and destroyers that were gradually arriving.
