"It's crazy!" Makanov looked at the Chinese Navy minesweeper that was busy in the open sea, and squeezed out these four words between his teeth, yes, in Makanov's eyes, this kind of behavior is absolutely crazy! Storming a naval base guarded by a strong fleet and batteries, and surrounded by minefields, seems to have been done by no one except in the Anglo-Dutch naval battle of the Age of Sail, right? No matter how carefully the mine-sweeping operation is carried out, it is difficult to ensure that there are no fish that slip through the net, and if one is not careful, a 10,000-ton capital ship will be finished! This is a price that the average country cannot afford!

Makanov did not expect that the Chinese fleet would be so resolute. He did not hesitate to take such a big risk to attack the port of Batavia. At this time, the "performance" of the Huaxia Navy also entered the most critical moment. The three Ninghai-class ships had already left the battle line and began to tentatively follow the minesweepers forward. In order to ensure the safety of these three capital ships, there are minesweepers on the flanks and in front of the Ninghai-class. This is a very normal thing in the eyes of the Russian Navy, after all, it is impossible to let the precious dreadnoughts try it without knowing whether the position of the road is safe. It's normal to send a few Quasi-Dreadnoughts on the road.

A minesweeper, numbered X in the Huaxia Navy, stretched out several long bamboo poles under water on the side near Ninghai, and on the head of the bamboo pole was a mine with an 80KG picric acid charge. At this time, the X minesweeper was about 100 meters away from the Ninghai and gradually approached, while the remote-controlled mine under the water was only 80 meters away from the Ninghai. The distance is a little closer, according to the calculations of the Chinese Navy. This remote-controlled mine will detonate about 25 meters outside the side chord of the Ninghai! This distance and position are carefully calculated, and if the distance is long, the opponent's observable detonation point does not coincide with the battleship. Most likely, doubts. And if the explosion point is close, the damage to the battleship will be more than worth the loss!

The detonation position is also very particular, the Huaxia Navy specially selected near the control tower, this hull is the widest, and the underwater protection system is the largest, more importantly, if there is an explosion here, it is very likely to give the Russian fleet the illusion that a large number of commanders have been killed. And after the detonation. Ninghai will light the smoke canister prepared in advance, and the battleship Pinghai behind Ninghai will raise the flag representing the command! This will certainly bring infinite reverie to the Russians. This is not the end, in order to prevent this 80KG charge of the mine really caused irreparable damage to the Ninghai. BEFORE SETTING OFF AGAIN, THE NINGHAI ALSO SPECIALLY INSTALLED A STEEL PLATE WITH A THICKNESS OF 50MM IN THE PRESET DETONATION AREA TO RESIST THE FIRST WAVE OF FRAGMENTS.

In short, everything we did was to make the whole process more real than real, but not really have a fatal impact on the Ninghai! After the explosion, the Ninghai will open part of the water injection port to fill the coal bunker on the side of the hull "Zhongmin". Of course. In order to ensure that the overall buoyancy remains unchanged, the water is pumped from the other side of the hull, that is to say, it is equivalent to pouring seawater from the non-medium mine side into the mine-striking side, which then causes the hull to be unbalanced and tilted, and the subsequent water injection balance is an anti-process, in short, it is to make the ship "look" in the mine while maintaining the reserve buoyancy!

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and Yang Yonglin looked at the clock in the command room. If nothing else, the Ninghai will "strike a mine" in 3 minutes! Minutes and seconds passed. Yang Yonglin's heart was raised to his throat. Success or failure in this move, whether the Russians will really be lured out, will be known in 5 minutes! Just when Yang Yonglin and the others stared at the Ninghai and didn't even dare to blink their eyes, a loud bang suddenly came from a distance!

A light cruiser that guided the flotilla in front was held up by a pair of raised hands, and the huge vibration directly caused the front of the hull to leave the water, and under the action of its own weight and explosion, the front of the hull quickly broke off! The sound of metal twisting and the sound of sea water hitting the hull of the ship is constantly heard! "Isn't it? There's no such thing in the script! Liu Buyun looked at the rapidly sinking battleship, there was no real thunder in the original plan! Obviously, the minesweeper in front did not sweep clean, and this light cruiser that hit the front station used its own life to sweep away a deadly mine for the Ninghai!

More than 90 percent of the people present at the scene did not react to this sudden explosion, and the Ninghai, which was located behind, suddenly began to turn to evade, and the No. X minesweeper, which had sounded the delay fuse, could not make the mine with the 80KG picricin charge used for acting stop detonating, boom! Less than 1 minute after the tragic light cruiser hit the mine, the mine outside the side chord of the Ninghai, which was turning, finally exploded! A huge column of water rose into the air on the side chord of the Ninghai, and at this time, almost everyone present saw it, and then billowing smoke erupted from the side chord of the Ninghai to cover half of the hull.

Although there was an accident, but the starring Ninghai No. X minesweeper did not stop planning, Ninghai began to quickly inject water into the "middle mine side", and the entire Ninghai is turning, so that the hull will be further reduced if it is injected with water in high-speed movement, and at this time, on the Borodino battleship, all this has been taken into Makanov's eyes, and Ninghai has hit a mine! And the mine-striking position is the hull near the conning tower, which is really good!

"I don't know what happened to the commander on the road." Makanov looked at the Ninghai, which was "struggling" towards his team, and couldn't help but guess. At this time, the auxiliary warships of the Huaxia Navy, which reacted, in order to prevent the battleship from really hitting a mine, all opened a way in front of them one after another, and used their bodies to make a safe passage for the capital ship.

"It's a big game this time!" Yang Yonglin really can't hold the Ninghai now, but it is really damaged or fake. Originally, another quasi-dreadnought, the Jinghai, would also play a role in the plan, but now it seems that it is better to take a look at the situation of the Ninghai first, and soon Yang Yonglin finally planned to plan the telegram was quickly sent, and the Jinghai did not need to be "hit by thunder". However, according to the situation agreed in advance, the battleship Pinghai raised the command flag and took over the command of the entire former dreadnought fleet. The entire Huaxia fleet also began to slowly retreat outside the port.

"The Ninghai was damaged, and in order to avoid colliding with the exploding light cruiser, the Ninghai quickly turned, and when it turned, the mines of the X minesweeper exploded, which happened to partially avoid the underwater reinforcement, so there was an empty compartment that was broken and slightly tilted, and the problem was not very big." Soon, 15 minutes later, a telegram answered Yang Yonglin's doubts. And now, should this drama continue? How to act has become the first problem for Yang Yonglin to consider.

At this time, there was chaos on the sea, and the Huaxia Navy adjusted its formation to deal with the chaos caused by the sudden turn of the Ninghai, and at the same time sent other auxiliary warships to rescue the overboard crew on the light cruiser. The tragic light cruiser sank very quickly, completely sinking to the bottom of the sea in less than two minutes, and hundreds of Chinese naval officers who had not had time to escape sank with the ship. Those who escaped were rescued by auxiliary warships that arrived in time.

"Order the Jinghai to tow the Ninghai, make an illusion that the ship is seriously injured and has lost power, and the fleet is ready to retreat." Planning is in the people, and the success is in the sky, Yang Yonglin at this time completely understands the meaning of this sentence, and it is really unthinkable that there is such an accident at this time. You have done your best, then now it depends on whether the Russians have been fooled or not. With a series of signal flags rising from the battleship Longxing, the Huaxia fleet began to turn away, as for whether the Russians will be fooled, whether they will chase them out as Xu Jie deduced, no one can give an answer, everything will be tested by time!

The turn came so suddenly that Makanov didn't react for a while! At the beginning, the Chinese fleet came to the port of Batavia in a vigorous manner, ready to fight it. Makanov was also worried about his own fleet, but in a matter of minutes, a light cruiser of the Huaxia Navy was blown to pieces, and another capital ship was also struck. At this moment, Makanov wondered if there was really a god in this world, and if so, it must be God's protection! Happiness really comes a little fast! A capital ship was seriously injured, and it was a question of whether even it could hold a meeting to the temporary anchorage, and the Huaxia Navy obviously did not want to abandon the battleship and sent the Jinghai to tow it. The speed was as low as less than 10 knots per hour. That is to say, if the entire Huaxia Navy wants to keep this battleship, at least one capital ship will not be able to enter the battle!

And what made Makanov even more excited was that the Ninghai did not approach the pick-up command staff to transfer the flagship after the mine, but a few minutes later, the Pinghai directly raised the command flag. This illustrates a problem, that is, the commanders of the three Ninghai-class battleships in Huaxia are very likely to be seriously injured or killed in the explosion just now! And this will be a heavy blow to the morale and command system of the Chinese Navy.

"General, the minelayers of the Huaxia Navy have begun to lay mines to cover the retreat of the main fleet." At this time, a Russian officer pointed to the retreating Huaxia Navy and said. Behind the main fleet, several minelayers opened the rear rails and pushed a mine into the sea, turning it into a temporary defensive minefield.

At this time, more than 90 percent of the officers of the Russian and Dutch navies had already concluded that the blow had caused a certain degree of damage to the Huaxia Navy, and the retreat of the Huaxia Navy showed that the blow to morale and command system had greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of this world-famous fleet. In the eyes of these people, the Chinese fleet at this time is the weakest time, and if the Russian-Dutch fleet can seize this favorable opportunity, it is not impossible to inflict heavy damage on the opponent.

The remaining 10 percent of the senior officers of the Russian and Dutch navies are constantly weighing the balance of strength between the two sides, and they are still hesitating and thinking about whether to attack. It was in the Russians' favor for the time being, but they were not sure whether this advantage would translate into victory.
