Chapter 450: Someone Can't Hold On
Shirakawa Shinji, the captain of the Japanese Navy's Kongo-class all-steel battleship Kirishima, is also the temporary commander of the Japanese Navy currently participating in the naval battle in the Taiwan Strait, and he is worried that the dreadnought battleships of the Northeast Navy will intercept the remaining warships of his fleet and the remnants of Italy and Austria-Hungary in front of the Penghu waterway between Taiwan Island and the Penghu Islands, and as a result, a fleet has appeared in the south of the Penghu waterway.
The Northeast Navy, which did not resist and was not talking, really appeared in the front, so that the remnants of the navy officers and men of Italy, Austria-Hungary, and Japan, who were desperately fleeing, couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
Shirakawa Shinji, whose face was very dignified, found through the GuΓ² telescope that although the scale of the Northeast Navy appearing in the Penghu waterway in front of him was not large, there were two large dreadnought battleships, and they were dreadnought battleships with a displacement of at least 3 or 40,000 tons.
This kind of dreadnought battleship in the naval battle, 30,000 meters away from the sinking of all-steel battleship, deeply imprinted in Shirakawa Shinji's mind, although there are only 2 such dreadnought battleships in front, and not a few other warships, but Shirakawa Shinji has a desperate feeling in his heart, he can't get the fleet he leads, and he will never return to Japan.
The first mate of the Kirishima Yanagawa Nosuke saw the Northeast Navy appearing in front of him, and said to Shirakawa Shinji with a very nervous expression: "Captain, as you expected, there is really a dreadnought battleship that rushed to our front first and intercepted us in front, now what should we do?" β
Shirakawa Shinji pondered for a moment, and said categorically: "I can only rush hard, and there is no other way." Count as much as you can out! Contact the Italian commander Roberte, and let's rush together. I hope Asunasu will bless us! β
Inside the bridge of the flagship of the Italian Navy, Jeansel, the captain of the Robert and Jeansel, Ram. Seeing the Northeast Navy appearing in front of him, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and Ram stammered: "Finger...... Commander, now...... Now what do we do? β
Roberte really didn't want to enter the prisoner of war camp of the Northeast Navy for the third time, he gritted his teeth and said: "There are only 2 dreadnought battleships that appeared, and there are not many other warships of the Northeast Navy around them, we still have a chance, we Italy plus Japan, oh." There is also Austria-Hungary, there are dozens of warships, and it is impossible for 2 dreadnought battleships to be stopped, contact the Japanese, and we will rush over together, I hope God bless us! β
Ram glanced at the Northeast Navy fleet that suddenly appeared in front of the Penghu waterway, and said in frustration: "Okay, commander, I'll contact the Japanese immediately." β
The Italians and the Japanese soon came to an agreement. It was decided to forcibly rush through the interception fleet of the Northeast Navy, but it was impossible to see the interception fleet of the Northeast Navy suddenly appear in front, and the navies of the two countries would be captured, which would be too cowardly. I had to choose to rush hard.
But the Italians and the Japanese did not want to nest, but someone no longer cared, the commander of the Austro-Hungarian Navy Rusdit on 1 torpedo boat. I saw that the interception fleet of the Northeast Navy appeared in front of me, especially 2 dreadnought battleships of that kind with great power. Immediately, a frightened cold sweat came out, and after a while, he received a message from the Italian commander Roberte to prepare to forcibly break through the Northeast Navy interception fleet in front. The warships of the navies of the three countries must rush hard.
Rustit glanced at the few warships left in his Austro-Hungarian Navy around him, and let out a long sigh, although he only had 2 fast protection cruisers, 3 destroyers and 5 torpedo boats left in his Austro-Hungarian Navy, a total of 10 warships, and they were all small warships, and they would not be the target of the bombardment of dreadnought battleships, but Rusdit and the officers and men of the Austro-Hungarian Navy had already been sunk one after another after the three main battleships, their morale was low to the bottom, and they met the Northeast Navy blocked in front of them on the way to escape, The blow to morale is definitely worse.
The captain of the torpedo boat where Rusdit was located said in frustration: "Commander, what should we do?" β
What to do, this should be the three words that appear most in the hearts and mouths of the naval officers and men of Italy, Austria-Hungary, and Japan after the Northeast Navy Fleet appeared in the Penghu Waterway in front.
Ruthit smiled bitterly, to be honest, he was already a little scared in his heart, he had just escaped from the sunken flagship, the all-steel battleship with a displacement of 8500 tons, and now Rusdit's legs and stomachs were still trembling, he really didn't want to experience the feeling of escaping death again, and it was simple to rush out, but like the torpedo boat he is in now, the displacement is only more than 100 tons, not to mention being directly hit by a shell, that is, being dropped by a large-caliber shell nearby, the waves generated are enough to overturn a torpedo boat of more than 100 tons.
Rustit hesitated for a moment and said: "Our Austro-Hungarian navy has lost too many people today, and now rush over, I don't know how much we have to lose, I don't think we should go to the dark with the Italians and the Japanese, our Austro-Hungarian Empire's remaining 10 warships, slow down and prepare to turn off, and chase the Northeast Navy behind and surrender!" At least the rest of the people will be able to save their lives and have a chance to return to Europe. β
When the captain of the torpedo boat heard this, he immediately shouted in surprise: "Your Excellency the commander is wise, and the officers and men of our entire fleet will definitely support the commander's wise decision." β
The other officers and men of the Austro-Hungarian Navy on the torpedo boat could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard that the commander Rustit had made such a decision, and cheered quietly, finally saving their lives.
The Italians and the Japanese soon discovered the anomaly of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and inside the bridge of the flagship of the Italian Navy, the Jeansel, Ram hurried to Robert's side, "Commander, the commander of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Rusdit, sent a flag, the Austro-Hungarian Empire's losses today are too great to bear, so he is ready to lead the remaining 10 Austro-Hungarian small warships to surrender to the Northeast Navy that is pursuing behind, Commander, you see......"
Ram actually wants to hear what Robert said the most, let's surrender too, anyway, Ram has already entered the Northeast Navy's prisoner of war camp twice, he doesn't mind entering the third time, he is used to it, to be honest, before he came to Asia, the Eight-Nation Alliance Navy will concentrate an unprecedented huge fleet in Asia, but maybe Ram has suffered 2 consecutive defeats in the shadow of the hands of the Northeast Navy, Ram is not as confident as others in this trip to Asia.
Lam always had a bad premonition that this trip to Asia would not be so smooth, and sure enough, the naval battle between the Joint Expeditionary Fleet of the Eight-Nation Alliance Navy and the Northeast Navy in the Taiwan Strait completely leaned towards his bad premonition after the Northeast Navy suddenly appeared 13 dreadnought battleships.
The Northeast Navy has those 13 dreadnought battleships with combat effectiveness against the sky, and the seemingly huge Eight-Nation Alliance Navy Joint Expeditionary Fleet has become an ornament, and now the fleets of various countries are even more wolf-bare and fled, when the Northeast Navy interception fleet led by two dreadnought battleships appeared in front of the Penghu Waterway, Ram really had the urge to rush into the Northeast Navy prisoner of war camp again.
Roberte did not let the Italian Navy surrender as Ram hoped, but said disdainfully: "These Austro-Hungarian navies are not only weak, but also lack courage, they only have some small warships left, and they will not be the target of the attack of the two dreadnought battleships of the Northeast Navy, but they don't even have the courage to break through the blockade, it's really a waste, if they want to surrender, let them be, I really wonder if there is such an ally in the Allies who is dragging its feet, we and the Japanese continue to move forward and rush over!" β
Germany, Italy, and Austria-Hungary were allies of the Central Powers at the moment, and Ram sighed in his heart, it seemed that he had to take the risk of rushing hard, and I hope God forbid, the giant shells of the dreadnought battleship must not fall on the Janesl.
The Third Fleet and the Fourth Fleet of the Northeast Navy, which were closely pursuing the escape fleets of Italy, Austria-Hungary, and Japan, soon discovered that among the fleets of the three countries fleeing in front, some small warships broke away from the large forces, slowed down and fell behind, and soon after the flames were completely extinguished and the white flag was raised.
In the bridge of the Liaoyang, the flagship of the Third Fleet of the Northeast Navy, the city-class all-steel battleship Liaoyang, the commander of the Third Fleet, Ma Yan, saw the Austro-Hungarian warships raising the white flag, and said to Chen Hanchao, the captain of the Liaoyang, with a smile: "Old man Yu took two dreadnought battleships in front of this interception, and the enemy ships that escaped could not stand it, and you see that they all directly raised the white flag and surrendered." β
The Liaoyang is one of the new city-class all-steel battleships built by the shipyard in the past two years, and the other seven are Urumqi, Fushun, Busan, Hegang, Daqing, Hailanpao, and Tumen, all of which are allocated to the Third Fleet.
Chen Hanchao also said with a smile: "Those warships that surrendered are all Austro-Hungarian warships, with Old Man Yu in front of them, Italian and Japanese warships, don't want to escape easily, if they know the current affairs, they should learn from the Austro-Hungarian people, and surrender quickly." β
Chen Hanchao was born in the second phase of the training team of the Sailor Academy, and was transferred to the Liaoyang from another battleship, and he was originally the captain of the battleship.
Ma Yan continued: "It's the Italians and the Japanese who stubbornly resisted to the end, and broke through the old man's interception, with the speed of the two super dreadnought battleships, the Italians and the Japanese don't want to escape a few all-steel battleships, and other fast-moving warships may escape a lot, I hope the Italians and the Japanese can be wise and surrender as soon as possible, and their warships are just for the expansion of our Northeast Navy." (To be continued......)
