The distance is 11KM! When Yang Yonglin heard the data reported by the staff officer, he did not order to fire, but signaled the fleet to continue to approach, what Yang Yonglin needed was a war of annihilation rather than a simple defeat! When the distance between the two sides finally narrowed to about 9KM, the Russians finally couldn't bear it anymore, and with the signal from Makanov's flagship, the capital ship of the Russian fleet finally fired the first shot since the start of the war!

With a loud sound like thunder, the side chords of the main Russian fleet erupted a bright yellow flame, and under the impetus of the propellant, as many as 50 rounds of 12-inch heavy artillery shells flew towards the opponent, and more than 15 tons of ammunition were consumed in just one salvo. If someone could stand in the air and see the rapidly flying shells, then he could see a rain of steel storms blowing towards his opponent, and behind these main artillery shells, a larger number of 6-inch shells followed, and a few seconds later, the main fleet of the Huaxia Navy was instantly surrounded by a rain of bullets.

"But that's it." Looking at the columns of water dozens of meters high that the Russian Navy had drilled around his fleet, Yang Yonglin said tastelessly. This was a bit different from what he had estimated, and although he thought that his fleet was more powerful than the Russian Navy, he did not expect that the Russians would be worse than he had estimated. Not only is there a gap in the performance of the fleet, but also in the quality of personnel, and in the case of a stable battle line engagement, under the condition that the relative speed and course are determined, the eight warships of the opposing side actually did not fire a single miss. Come and don't be rude, now that the other party has finished performing, then it's time to take a look at the Huaxia Navy, the distance is only 9KM, which is definitely the best combat distance!

As many as 36 turrets of the main fleet of the Huaxia Navy began to slowly turn. Like a spear in the hands of giants, it was pointed at the Russian fleet, which was still spitting tongues of fire in the distance, and after the order to fire was given, it was under the command of the fire control system. Each battleship locked on to its own target, and the Longquan-class battleships fired the first salvo! Then, like a volcanic eruption, the main fleet of the Huaxia Navy fired one after another! Like a tidal wave, wave after wave, even before the last battleship has completed the first round and a half salvo, individual battleships have already begun the second round and a half salvo! And the fastest of them is naturally the Longxing, which can shoot in three stages, as long as the hull swing amplitude is appropriate, 4 guns can fire in a wave of three stages! If the rain of bullets in the Russian Navy just now was of moderate rain level. Then the counterattack of the Huaxia Navy is as big as a rainstorm!

The first seven battleships in the Huaxia Navy were captured separately from the opposite battleships, while the two Longxu-class battlecruisers ranked at the bottom were very relaxed and happy, and the two battleships attacked one of the other side! And the other party is still a quasi-dreadnought! This is an absolute crushing advantage! After the parties opened fire. The sea was filled with gunsmoke and flames, and the 20,000-ton dreadnought tore at the opponent like a prehistoric monster, and before the heavy smoke generated by the shot could dissipate, a new smoke was generated with a new round of shooting. The flanks of the fleet gradually formed a thick wall of fog. Huge warships loom in the smoke.

"What's going on? Can't hold it in the first place? Makanov raised his binoculars with some concern and looked at the quasi-dreadnought at the end of the line. Less than 5 minutes into the battle. A burst of violent explosions came from the rear of the fleet, this poor battleship was fired by 2 Longxu-class battlecruisers, as many as 16 main guns of powerful fire poured at this poor battleship all the time, 9 kilometers of distance plus ultra-high fire density, it is difficult not to hit!

After the firing was over, the two Longxu-class fast battleships quickly entered the effective firing phase, and the ultra-high rate of fire of about 30 rounds a minute made the Russian quasi-dreadnought named Pelesvet unable to return fire at all, within a minute. This poor battleship was hit as many as 3 times! As for the hits of small-caliber guns, they are even more numerous! "It was as if the Pelesvet had been enveloped in a storm of fire, and the two Dragon-class battleships had suppressed the 17,000-ton Russian battleship in almost a matter of minutes. Huge bursts of fire burst out from the hull. The two front guns were hit separately within 5 minutes. One of the shells hit the side of the front main turret and managed to drill in, and then a ball of light brighter than the sun appeared in my field of vision, causing me to feel dizzy, and then with a loud bang, the turret weighing more than 200 tons was pushed out of the turret! A staff officer recorded the first battle between the two main fleets.

It takes no more than 15 minutes at most. Almost all of the main guns on the engaged side of the Dresswaite were lost. Two Longxu-class ships tilted nearly 270 rounds of large-caliber shells at this battleship! There are as many as 20 direct hits! Such a high hit rate directly knocked down the battleship, and the countless huge bullet holes in the side chords of the hull made people know how terrifying the attack just now was! Although the 11-inch armor barely blocked the attack, the bow and tail of the battleship were completely destroyed, and at least 1,000 tons of water entered the water. The compartments used to prevent the expansion of water ingress have long been broken apart. The entire superstructure of the battleship was swept clean, and the conning tower was also hit by a single shot, turning into a burning iron box. Except for the well-protected and lucky turrets, which can still be seen in shape, the rest is no different from a garbage heap! Although the battleship is still struggling to float on the water, the god of war has pronounced the death sentence on this battleship!

As for the losses caused by the Dresswaite to the Huaxia Navy, it is basically negligible, and soon after the Dresswaite lost the only 12-inch main gun that could cause serious damage to the Longxu-class battleship at a long distance, and then the remaining 4 10-inch guns only survived for a few more minutes, and after the fire control was blown to pieces by a shell that came from the unknown channel, the design of the 4 10-inch guns with a simple turret sight alone was not accurate at all. In the end, all that was brought to the Longxu was a few 4.7-inch guns and two 10-inch guns, leaving a few small pits in the main armor belt!

And just when the Pelesvet was beaten with a fat beating, the other warships of the Russian Navy were also under tremendous pressure. The No. 4 Eagle and No. 5 ship of the Borodino-class battleship Glory are exactly engaged with the most powerful Longxing-class battleship of the Chinese Navy, if the 3 main guns of the Longtai class are about the same as the 8 guns of the Russian battleship, and the 10 guns of the Longteng-class battleship have an advantage over the opponent's 8 guns, then 12 to 8 is an overwhelming advantage! The two Borodino-class battleships, although not as powerless as the Pelesvet, were still crushed in the engagement.

The accurate and fast 3-segment reshoot is certainly more efficient than the full salvo used by the Russian Navy. Therefore, it is easier for the Huaxia Navy to get hits than the other side. "It was as if we were facing four strong, three-headed dogs of hell full of sharp teeth, and these four three-headed dogs spewed out a fireball each time, and then took turns, so much so that we almost doubted that the guns of the Longxing-class battleships were constantly firing like machine guns, and the dazzling muzzle flames never stopped." Afterwards, a Russian officer who served on the Eagle commented on the Longxing's firepower.

The two most elite battleships of the Russian Navy were also a little overwhelmed by the frequent rain of bullets, and the battleship Eagle paid the first price in the third minute after the start of the battle, a shell hit the No. 2 turret of the Eagle, directly cutting off the barrel of a 12-inch gun, and at the same time smashed on the front of the turret, leaving a deep bullet mark on the turret. Almost at the same time, another shell hit the upper armor, and after knocking through the upper armor, which was only 6 inches, the shell exploded at the level of the hull's dome, tearing apart several adjacent compartments with a violent impact. The Glory, which followed closely, was also cut off two 4.7-inch secondary guns in one shot, and the huge explosion completely shattered one gun gallery, and several of the larger pieces of fragments pierced through another nearby gun gallery, smashing the Russian naval officers and men fighting in it into a puddle of flesh.

In less than a quarter of an hour after the start of the battle, Makanov felt the urgency of the matter, and the communication with the Pelesvet was soon broken, judging from the situation from the battleships behind, the battleship could already be judged to be destroyed, and this was only the beginning, and all the capital ships that fought against the opponent were not in good condition, especially the Eagle and the Glorious, which had already shown signs of defeat. The firepower of the Huaxia Navy was beyond his expectations, and his plan not only failed to entangle his opponent, but instead put his fleet in an even more critical situation.

"Smoke was released from the battle, and the mine-striking ship was ready to release torpedoes to cover the retreat. Send a message to Admiral Essen and ask him to immediately join the main fleet. Seeing that the situation was not good, Makanov ordered resolutely, if you can't fight, you can run, this is the only way to fight, but this is not something you can run if you want to, even if you have the cover of smoke canisters and lightning strike ships, it is definitely not easy for the Russians to run, you must know that the Huaxia Navy has a full 5 fast dreadnoughts!

"Want to run? I'm afraid it's not that easy, right? Looking at the clouds of pitch-black smoke spewing out of the side chords of the Russian battleships, and the light cruisers carefully entering the battlefield to release the smoke, the corners of Yang Yonglin's mouth sneered. It's this little trick again, and it's not interesting at all. "In the decisive battle off the coast of Japan, the Russians used this method to keep a few precious battleships, at that time the Chinese Navy did not have enough fast warships, and the shooting distance was relatively close, once the distance was opened, it was not easy to chase. But now, the rapid striking power of the Huaxia Navy is no longer what it used to be, and the Russians will have to pay some price if they want to run again!

Looking at the Russian fleet hidden behind the smoke and turning to escape, the Huaxia Navy did not chase out of the first time, under the shroud of smoke, those lightning ships with sharp blades are very troublesome, from the perspective of the battle situation, the Huaxia Navy is still in control of the overall situation, so Yang Yonglin does not want the fleet to put himself in danger, if a capital ship is struck by lightning at this time, it will be a big loss!
