Although the native fleet of Thar arrived at the battlefield first, when Marshal Jericho saw that the other party was only three cruisers and no battleships at all, he couldn't help but secretly curse the garrison commander who sent him a telegram.

However, a small fish is better than nothing, and seeing that his own cruiser fleet is fighting so badly, Marshal Jericho still ordered an artillery bombardment of General Speer's fleet at once. Seeing the arrival of the opposing army, General Speer did not dare to linger any longer, and they had to abandon the seriously wounded 'Elpin' and break through to the west.

Admiral Speer fought and retreated, but soon the cruiser Fraunlob, which was closely behind the flagship, suffered heavy damage, and a 305-millimeter shell struck its stern, depriving it of power and the rudder at its stern. At this moment of crisis, the Ocean Fleet of the Yaman Empire finally arrived on the battlefield, and the four 'King'-class battleships at the head began to speak first with their huge 330 mm main guns.

The dense shelling that fell near the home fleet led by Marshal Jericho forced them to abandon the shelling of General Speer and turn their artillery fire towards the opposing oceanic fleet. Seeing the other party's main fleet approaching, Jericho was not surprised, originally this time he had decided to catch this small fish and go back, but he didn't expect the big fish to follow.

For the main fleet of the Yaman Empire that has been hiding in the harbor, the Saar Empire's navy is also like a thorn in the back, and now it finally has a chance to fight in a dignified manner, and Jericho also wants to annihilate the opponent's fleet.

When the main fleet of the Yaman Empire was completely annihilated, the Saar Empire could unscrupulously bombard the coastal cities of the Yaman Empire with battleships and land anywhere.

Jericho, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, immediately ordered the detachment to attack at full speed, boldly interspersed with the opponent's fleet, in an attempt to disrupt the opponent's formation in one fell swoop and seize the opportunity.

Unfortunately, Jericho didn't know that Scheer had the same idea as him. Scheer believed that the warships of the Jarman Empire were more armour-oriented and had a better chance of victory in close combat, so he issued almost the same orders as Jericho. The two large fleets faced each other at full speed, and several sub-fleets soon interspersed and a melee began.

Once the melee begins, any tactics have lost their purpose, and there is no T-head for you to grab, and you may have grabbed the T-head of one fleet and probably sent yourself under the broadside fire of another enemy fleet. As a result, each warship has become a hand-to-hand combat, and the pattern of naval warfare seems to have returned to what it was decades ago.

In close combat, the Chinese ships, which have full-caliber main guns, suffer a little, while the former Chinese ships, which have many second-class guns, show their prestige and rely on intensive firepower to launch artillery attacks on the opponent.

There were more Chinese ships in the Jarman Empire's navy, which made the fleet of the Saar Empire suffer a small loss as soon as it came up. Seeing that his side was at a loss, Marshal Jericho knew that he was a little too impulsive, and he quickly remedied it, ordering the fleet to withdraw from the battle, and then open up before shelling.

The fleet of the Yaman Empire led by Marshal Scheer naturally would not let him get his wish, and the entire fleet followed closely, trying to keep close to the other party and use the advantage of the second-class main gun to win.

Marshal Jericho was so anxious that he had never encountered anything like this in his combat career, and just when he was helpless, out of the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of a destroyer cruising around the perimeter.

Although the fleets of both countries brought some destroyers, this was to escort their main fleets and prevent submarine attacks.

Jericho suddenly had an idea, now that both sides are fighting at close range, the destroyers with flexible actions can not use the advantage of torpedoes to attack them, which can make up for the lack of firepower of their own side and distract the other side, so Marshal Jericho immediately ordered the destroyers to join the battle and attack the opponent's warships with torpedoes.

Dozens of destroyers, who received the order, immediately fired at full speed, rushed into the battlefield at a speed of nearly thirty knots, and began to torpedo the Yaman Imperial Navy, which was caught off guard, and both cruisers were hit by several torpedoes and sank quickly.

Field Marshal Schell was greatly annoyed by this situation, and immediately ordered his own destroyers to join the battle to attack the opposing ships, and at the same time ordered the small guns on all the ships to concentrate on attacking the opposing destroyers. All the warships on both sides finally joined the warband, and an even bigger melee began.

The warships of both sides were all fighting desperately in the narrow sea, with the exception of the Sarr Navy's seaplane carrier 'Fury'.

This seaplane carrier is still very primitive, just the entire superstructure of the freighter has been bulldozed, the wooden deck has been laid, and there is no armament at all, even the seaplane it carries is of the reconnaissance type, without any weapons.

The stereotypical Sahr did not know how to do anything, and did not equip these seaplanes with even machine guns for self-defense, perhaps because they thought that even machine guns could not pose a threat to the battleship, and it was better to save these weights and install an extra fuel tank to increase the empty time.

But this design also caused the embarrassment of the 'Fury', in the era of cannon ships, the newly born aircraft carrier only played the role of reconnaissance, when the war began, it had to withdraw from the sea area to participate in the battle, and watched nearby, fortunately, both sides were fighting at close range, and no one in the Yaman Navy paid attention to this inconspicuous, supply ship-like guy.

However, the fact that the Yaman Navy did not pay attention to it does not mean that no one paid attention to it, and at the moment a submarine was observing the bulky mothership with a periscope.

"Lao Guo, why do you say this guy doesn't have a turret?" First mate Jiang Maochu looked at the 'Fury' in surprise in the periscope, and the captain Guo Qichao came over and took the periscope and looked at it with a smile: "This is an aircraft carrier." ”

"Aircraft carriers? How come I haven't heard of it? Jiang Maochu said in surprise.

Guo Qichao said: "This kind of mothership also exists in our navy, but it is highly secret, you naturally don't know about it, I also accidentally learned about it when I went to the Wild Continent for training, but our mothership is more advanced and much larger than this." ”

Jiang Maochu said: "This aircraft carrier is getting closer and closer to us, if we let him move forward again, the No. 1 test ship will be discovered." ”

Guo Qichao said: "Since this is the case, let's sink it, anyway, now the Sahr and Yaman navies are fighting, no one notices here, remember to kill all the Sahr sailors who fell into the water, the secret of No. 1 cannot be discovered." ”

The two torpedoes were quickly discharged, and the splash of the electric torpedoes was very small, so the sailors on the 'Fury', who were still attracted by the naval battle in the distance, did not notice that they had been attacked by the torpedoes, and after two loud bangs, the freighter's refitted mothership with few watertight compartments was quickly sunk.

Although the sound of the two explosions is not small, it will be covered by countless shelling sounds on the battlefield, so Guo Qichao is not afraid of being discovered, he immediately ordered the submarine to float, several submariners came to the front of the submarine, picked up the submachine gun brought in the submarine and fired at the sea, killing all the sailors who fell into the water, and then they quickly retreated, and the submarine dived again, continuing to observe the battlefield form.

This submarine is not owned by the Yaman Navy, but the Seawolf 2 ocean-going submarine of the Imperial Chinese Navy, and it is a pure coincidence that they came here this time.

Originally, five Seawolf 2 submarines had been tasked with protecting Experimental Submarine No. 1, which they had observed only after they had discovered the naval battle between the two sides, and the Experimental Submarine No. 1 they were covering was behind a small island not far away.

The No. 1 test submarine is Holland's latest masterpiece, and it is also the pinnacle masterpiece of the Chinese Foundation's many scientific research achievements, this submarine has a displacement of up to 3,550 tons above the water and 6,560 tons underwater, and it is definitely a behemoth in front of the Seawolf 1 submarine still used by the countries of the Western Continent.

The submarine reached a speed of 16 knots on the surface and 7 knots underwater, but the Chinese consortium did not have enough horsepower diesel engines to propel such a behemoth, so Holland had to install four diesel engines for submarines with 2,500 horsepower, making this submarine a unique four-shaft drive submarine.

Although this experimental submarine No. 1 is so large, it is not equipped with many weapons and equipment, only four torpedo tubes in the bow and 12 bombs, and the reason why there are so few weapons is because the No. 1 experimental submarine is a unique diving carrier.

At the rear of the submarine there was a large circular hatch that led into the mezzanine of the submarine's double hull. In the large mezzanine, four specially designed 'Flying Fish' water reconnaissance planes are placed.

In order to place the aircraft in the submarine, these reconnaissance planes were designed with foldable wings, which could take off using the flight slides on the submarine and land on the surface of the sea using their own pontoons, taxiing to the vicinity of the ship on their own.

Since the submarine can be in a semi-submersible state, it saves the trouble of hanging the hanger and allows the aircraft to slide into the hangar under its own power, while the two planes that are scouting over the battlefield are about to run out of fuel, they are returning to the mothership, and the other two have just lifted off to take their place.

At this time, the submarine carrier must float on the water, which is also its most dangerous time, and because of this situation, the Seawolf 2 submarine on guard will be afraid that the mother ship will be discovered, and take the risk of sinking the 'Fury'.

At this time, the mothership was recovering the aircraft, and the two reconnaissance planes that had just risen to the air quickly climbed in altitude and soon circled over the battlefield.

Although they are reconnaissance planes, their performance is far superior to that of the fighters of various countries on the western continent, and even better than the fighters in service of the Imperial Air Force of China.
