In the moment before the bomber exploded, Chen Feng snapped the operating stick, and the attack plane drew out from the left side, breaking away from the bottom of the bomber.

"How? You okay? Hearing Qin Ze grinning in the earphones, Chen Feng thought he was injured, and he couldn't look back at the plane at this time, so Chen Feng could only ask anxiously in the microphone.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the bullet casing fell on my hand and it burned." Qin Ze replied while blowing the burned place on his hand to cool down, and Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Chen Feng's contribution, the attack planes that did not know how to shoot followed suit, and one after another Sahr bombers were hit and exploded in the air, and when the landed fighters refueled and reloaded, they took off again, and all 20 Handley Page bombers had been shot down.

Amid the cheers of the sailors, one after another attack planes landed on the deck, Chen Feng was the first to park the plane on the deck, he jumped off the plane and shouted to the mechanic who came from the chrysalis: "Hurry up and paint three five-star pictures on my plane, I didn't expect that I also shot down a number, hahaha." ”

Chen Feng stood in front of the plane and laughed, he was so excited to shoot down the enemy plane, but the cheering crowd drowned out his words, and Chen Feng himself was thrown into the sky by the cheering crowd.

The Saar fleet was wiped out, and their colonial governor's palace and the attacking Southern Fleet were still in a daze. "Spot the enemy fleet." The lookouts on the battleship Shannan were the first to see the thick black smoke in the distance, and the battle alarm on each ship was quickly sounded, and all the sailors were in place, and today they would fight a face-to-face fleet artillery battle with the Sahr, the world's largest navy.

"Discover enemy ships, discover the fleet of the Chinese Empire." The warships of the Chinese Empire had switched to oil-fired boilers, and there was no thick black smoke coming out of the chimneys, so it was only ten minutes later that Saar discovered the battleship led by Sun Xiaohu.

Due to the late discovery, the Sahr had much less time to prepare, and the Saar sailors on the deck ran around to their respective battle positions, and the warships began to hurriedly adjust into battle formation.

"Turn left thirty degrees." Vice Admiral Ocalan shouted from the bridge.

"Turn left forty-five degrees." Sun Xiaohu issued a similar order almost at the same time.

The two fleets, which were facing each other, deviated from a certain angle due to their respective turns, and the battlefleets that gave up the angle began to fire. The first to fire was the battleship Dreadnought of the Saar fleet, the lead ship of the last class of Chinese ships built by the Saar Empire before the war, with a 356 mm caliber cannon, which was quite powerful.

Immediately following the two Sovereign-class battleships, two prestige-class battleships and three Captain Centennial-class battleships in the Sahr naval queue began to fire their guns, among the Chinese ships built by the Sahr people, in addition to the Captain of the Centurion-class, the guns of the other battleships had a minimum caliber of 330 mm, and the firing range was very long and powerful.

The 305 mm guns of the Sahr Navy bullied the Chinese-class battleships with small caliber and short range, and they wanted to rely on their own range advantage to seize the T-shaped position outside the range of the opponent's artillery, and to suppress the battlefleet of the Chinese Empire.

To Lieutenant General Ocalan's surprise, the opponent did not continue to rush forward, but also chose to turn. Vice Admiral Ocalan, who was a little surprised, raised his binoculars and looked at Sun Xiaohu's fleet, which was turning, and when he saw the majestic figure of the battleship opposite, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh my God, what did I see, why are those battleships so big." ”

I couldn't see anything when I was heading head-on just now, but when Sun Xiaohu commanded the fleet and began to turn, the Shannan-class battleship, which was almost twice as large as the Zhonghua-class battleship, was revealed. The 36,000-ton battleship Shannan turned with nimble movements, and its nine 381-mm guns raised their muzzles.

Looking at the Sahr battleship opposite, the corners of Sun Xiaohu's mouth turned up slightly: "Always remember to eat or not, let me tell you again, the first article of the Chinese Navy manual, when others enter your firing range, you are the same, all the main guns pay attention, fire." ”

"Commander, the last time you said this, it seems that you said it to the Cossack fleet." Song Wu, who had been promoted to the chief officer of the battleship's guns on the side, kindly reminded.

"Uh, really? Anyway, it's the countries that are at war with us, let them all remember. Sun Xiaohu blushed and argued.

Having received the order to open fire, the battleship Shannan fired two calibration shells. The two shells fell into the water one after the other, and exploded into a sky-high column of water, which was more than half the height of the previous Saar shells.

A single shell landed more than 60 meters on the port side of the battleship Majesty, and the burst of water would operate the secondary guns on the deck, and the sailors transporting the small-caliber shells were drenched in soup. Seeing that the shells landed so closely, the captain of the Majesty was really shocked, and the calibration shells were so accurate, which was worth it.

The accuracy of the calibration bullet is mainly due to the chief gunnery officer Song Wu, who was still playing the naval gun so accurately, and after studying at the Vladivostok Naval School, he learned more scientific calculation methods, and the accuracy rate was even higher.

The fears of the captain of the Majesty soon came true, and the battleship Shannan soon radioed the data to the other ships. The four Shannan-class battleships adjusted their gun muzzles one after another, and half a minute later, the first round of shelling began. On Wangxiang, only the Chinese Empire carried out calibration bullet firing before the artillery battle, which had the advantage of making it easier for the gunners to observe the landing point and correct the trajectory.

And other countries, even the Thar Empire, the first naval power, do not have such a habit, in their cognition, only by throwing more shells at each other faster can they kill and damage the enemy the fastest. That's why they launched a salvo as soon as they came up, for fear that they would not be able to seize the lead, but it was not easy to calculate such a shot, so although the fleet of the Chinese Empire was a late strike every time, it was always able to achieve better results.

The first accurate salvo fell into the sea not far from the Thar fleet, and the water mist stirred up completely obscured the sight of the Thar battleship, making this round of salvo of the Thar battleship deviate a lot.

For the first time, the Shannan-class battleship was equipped with an electric winch, which allowed him to increase the speed of reloading of his main guns quite a bit, so that after half a minute, a new salvo began. But while the Saar Empire's gunners were still busy hoisting the shells with mechanical hoists, thirty-six 381 mm shells were already in the air, and although most of the shells fell into the water, one hit the side of the battleship Coventry.

How could the Coventry, with a side armor thickness of only 310 mm, withstand such a large-caliber shell, the shell penetrated directly into the hull, not only tearing a large hole in the side of the Coventry, but also exploding in the living compartment, blowing up the place into a mess, fortunately, the sailors were busy in their respective combat positions, and there was no one in the living compartment, so fortunately there were no casualties.

Even if there were no casualties, the large hole in the side of the warship was shocking, the captain immediately ordered the damage pipe to plug the leak, and a number of sailors quickly brought the steel plate and spliced it in the hole, and the two sailors wore masks and used the welding torches in their hands to get busy, but their busyness did not make much sense, because soon the second wave of shelling hit again.

Booming explosions rang out one after another, and this time more shells were hit, enough to hit three shells, two of which hit the Coventry.

Today must have been the most unlucky day for the Coventry, as one of the two shells hit the No. 1 turret, barely bounced off the beveled armor, but bent both of its main guns into crutches, while the other hit the bridge accurately. A huge explosion burst into the sky, and the captain and other officers in the bridge were torn to pieces before they could escape, and the entire bridge was blown into a big hole, and the Coventry suddenly lost its command.

Another shell hit the deck of the Ranaro, which was only 120 millimeters thick and could not stop the powerful kinetic energy of the warhead, and the shell penetrated the coal bunker and exploded, igniting all the coal dust accumulated in the cabin, and a fire broke out on the Ranaro in an instant.

Frightened by the loss of his battleships, Vice Admiral Ocalan immediately ordered the cruisers and destroyers to charge, attempting to get close to the battleships of the Chinese Empire in a white-knuckle battle. This is the old tactic of the Saar Empire, and Sun Xiaohu is also on guard against this.

Seeing the other party's cruisers and destroyers coming forward, Sun Xiaohu also ordered his own cruisers and destroyers to rush forward, and at the same time, the four Zhonghua-class battleships that had been following behind the four Shannan-class battleships without firing their guns, aimed their main guns at these small warships of the Saar Empire that were coming in a hurry.

As soon as they entered the firing range of the 305-millimeter guns of the Zhonghua-class battleships, the four Zhonghua-class battleships launched a salvo. The dense cannonballs fell on the surface of the sea, causing clouds of mist to cause the nearby Saar Empire destroyers that were sailing at high speed to sway from side to side, nearly capsizing.

Relying on the modified and replaced electric hoist, the Zhonghua-class battleships vented their artillery fire with a higher rate of fire than the Shannan-class battleships. Although the 305 mm guns were already a bit of a disadvantage in fleet battles between battleships, he relied on a higher rate of fire to deal with those cruisers and destroyers. Under the joint efforts of the Chinese-class battleships, cruisers, and destroyers, the small warships of the Saar had no chance at all, and before they even reached the torpedo firing range, they had already lost most of them.

Gao Bo, who was already the commander of the cruiser of the Southern Ocean Fleet at this time, was already the commander of the cruiser of the Southern Ocean Fleet, and when he saw that the small warships of the Sahr Navy were still speeding up despite heavy losses, he immediately ordered the cruiser to speed up and attack with artillery.
