When more than a dozen Sovereign-class battleships and five sword-class battleships successfully encircled four Japanese battleships and two American battleships, the victory was almost certain. Although the quality of the sailors on Taiwan's battleships was inferior to that of these Japanese and American sailors, there were 18 battleships left in Taiwan, which must have an absolute advantage in numbers. With an absolute advantage in this number, it is impossible for them to win.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

The Taiwanese battleships began to pour shells desperately, and the entire sea was blown up in waves. But now this combined fleet of Japan and the United States cannot escape at all, and there are Taiwanese battleships besieging them everywhere, and they are obviously not able to escape here. Although they can also fight back, the firepower of their counterattack is obviously inferior to Taiwan's firepower. At this time, the competition is the absolute amount of firepower, so Taiwan's warships can completely consume them.

"It's really not easy to get to where you are today!" Qiu Baoren said.

Li He also sighed: "If it weren't for the boys of these destroyers who desperately delayed these battleships, our submarines would not have had enough time to destroy those cruisers." The cruisers were wiped out, and they were also unable to form a multi-class fleet, and their strength was greatly reduced. If they can't take advantage of the multi-ship mixed melee, then our hopes of victory can be much higher. It is only a matter of time before we win now, it is up to Providence to see how many naval warships it loses. Now, there is an absolute war of attrition. ”

This battle was actually tragic enough. Because the cruisers of Taiwan took on the main task of delaying the enemy's battleships, and the destroyers delayed the battleships where it was so easy and the price paid was not so easy to solve. The destroyers of this era were able to install no more than a dozen torpedoes, and it was not like later generations that could install almost dozens of torpedoes. So the torpedo carrying volume is several times less, that means that the duration of the operation is several times less. In addition, the range and hit rate of torpedoes in this era are very bad, and they cannot be compared with the torpedoes of later generations. So these destroyers had to risk rushing to the vicinity of the battleship. to be able to improve the hit rate. But once they are near the battleship, the danger to them is also very great. Therefore, in order to delay time, a lot of preparations have been made for Taiwan's submarine forces to be able to annihilate those cruisers, and the price paid is too great.

"Boom, boom, boom......" Taiwan's battleships kept pouring shells on the Japanese, and Ito couldn't stand it at all.

"Send a telegram urging Vice Admiral Miller to come over with destroyers and cruisers to support, we can't hold on. If we can't hold on, then we're going to fail this time. Let him hurry up and bring someone over to help! Ito shouted.

"Your Excellency, Vice Admiral Miller of the United States says that most of their cruisers have been knocked out. It was wiped out by the submarines of the Chinese people. They now have less than six cruisers, and these are Americans. Vice Admiral Miller thought that they Americans had done their duty to fight this time, and that they should go back with these American Navy soldiers instead of continuing the fight. Even if he came with these six cruisers, it would be useless for the overall situation, so he took those remaining six cruisers and planned to surrender to the Taiwan Navy. And, all Japanese destroyers have already been ordered to surrender to the Taiwanese Navy. So now that the destroyers' tasks have been completed, there is no need to continue the operation. ”

Ito's face turned green. He finally realized what it was like to be afraid of a god-like opponent and a pig-like teammate. Originally, Ito also hoped to have Lieutenant General Miller come to support. In this way, they may be able to turn defeat into victory, although this probability is not large, but that is also hope, isn't it? However, this Lieutenant General Miller actually thought that the losses of the Americans this time were enough and there was no need to continue fighting for this, so Lieutenant General Miller ordered surrender. Taiwan's battleships were also only able to come over to besiege the Japanese battleships after Vice Admiral Miller ordered the surrender.

"Damn. You Americans ordered surrender, and that's also your American's business. But you also ordered our Japanese destroyers to surrender anyway, do you have the right to do so? Miller, you're such a pig! Ito said angrily.

Ito is really angry, this American lieutenant Miller is completely a pig-like teammate. He was supposed to follow their division of labor, with Ito in charge of battleships and Miller in command of cruisers and destroyers. He originally thought that there was no problem, but now this Miller actually ordered surrender. And he didn't know at all that the Americans' will to fight was very poor, and the Americans' fighting willpower in this era was simply not good. The Americans have not experienced a war for too long, and although their navy may have a longer heritage, perhaps the military quality is better than that of Taiwan. However, there is one thing they will never be able to compare with Taiwan, and the American soldiers have a very poor will to fight. If Taiwan's navy and the US navy are bombarded at the same time, then although Taiwan's navy's combat capability is relatively poor, it will definitely be the Americans who will collapse first. The Americans have not experienced war for too long, and they have long forgotten what it feels like to fight at sea. Therefore, their generals are not able to fight. It may be okay for them to bully the indigenous people and those small countries in South America, but if they really compete in willpower, they can't fight Taiwan's army at all. The Americans' Lieutenant General Miller ordered surrender, and this is not out of the question.

"In that case, then we will fight with them!" Yuhiro Ito shouted.

Ito immediately ordered the remaining battleships to be in full swing against Taiwan's navy, and there would be no mercy at all. And now they are completely caught in a mode of confrontation, this is a war of attrition, completely in a kind of attrition. However, no one can doubt that Taiwan won this battle, because Taiwan had 18 battleships, while the United States and Japan had only six. In addition, the firepower dumping capacity of Taiwan's five Sword-class battleships has increased by five times compared with that of ordinary battleships, so that a Sword-class battleship can be used as five ordinary battleships. Therefore, it is not a problem at all that such a victory belongs to Taiwan.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

The two sides were bombarding each other like this, and the remnants of the destroyers next to them were watching the excitement, and they knew that it was not their battlefield now.

"Bump!" With a loud bang, a sword-class battleship in Taiwan was hit with a huge gap below.

"Captain, what are we going to do? The damage management will immediately go to plug the loophole, but it seems that it can't be plugged? Shall we abandon ship? Taiwan's bridge staff officer asked.

The captain was very hesitant, this is a battleship, it is worth a lot! Generally speaking, who is willing to abandon ship if they have to. In addition, according to the unspoken rules, if you abandon the ship, it will sink the captain together.

However, while the captain hesitated, some destroyers came in a hail of bullets.

"We have been ordered to come to your rescue, and you should abandon ship quickly." The destroyer detachment commander shouted.

"But this is a battleship!" The captain hesitated.

"Have you forgotten what Lord Wang said? If the ship is gone, it can continue to be built, but if there are no people, then there is nothing. Now that you've sealed the win, there's no need to sacrifice so many of your admirals' lives again. The sacrifice before was a last resort, but now that the victory is locked, there is no need for us to sacrifice. Also, you don't have to live and die with the warship, our Lord Wang will not do such an inhumane thing. The battleship is sinking, you can't blame the captain for everything, and you can't put the responsibility on the captain, let's go with us! ”

Because of the timely evacuation, coupled with the fact that there were destroyers next to it constantly salvaging sailors, most of the more than 400 sailors on a battleship also survived, which can be regarded as having capital for the re-establishment of the navy in the future. Talent is the most important thing, only with the talent of the navy can the navy be formed again, if there is no talent, it is useless to ask for ships. Fortunately, Taiwan prepared well this time, so even if the ship sank, the vast majority of sailors would survive. You'd rather sink a ship than let the sailors die too much, unless you have to. Even if those destroyers went to fight the Japanese battleships, most of them let more than 40 soldiers retreat in small boats, and only the remaining people would stay on the destroyers to fight the Japanese battleships, so as to avoid a lot of casualties.

"Boom!"

A Japanese battleship also began to enter the water, but their sailors were not so lucky, but no one was going to save them. And other Japanese warships are fighting, so they are too busy to take care of themselves. And those Japanese shipwrecked sailors, some of them will be sucked into the sinking whirlpool, and even if some can swim away, they are all faced with being killed by the sailors on the destroyers who are cruising with pistols, and none of them will be left. In short, this naval battle can leave no prisoners or try not to leave any prisoners, unless it surrenders voluntarily. If they do not surrender voluntarily, then the Taiwan Navy can justifiably kill them.

The navy's triumvirate Qiu Baoren, Sa Zhenbing, and Li He were watching the battleships in the distance to bombard, and then the three of them poured a glass of wine together, and then took the initiative to sprinkle it into the seawater.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today we have avenged your shame, and you rest in peace in the spirit of heaven! Back then, maybe we had fights, we had struggles for power, but now we've all written them off. We are all ashamed of you, and I hope that your souls in heaven can rest in peace. Qiu Baoren said with emotion. (To be continued.) )
