On the sea, the exchange of fire between the steel fleets of the enemy and the enemy continued. Vertices

Although it was the first time for Yuan Xi to face an opponent of such a scale, the top talent of his own five-star level was there, and after a successful wave of offensives, Yuan Xi, who had gradually mastered the rhythm of the battle, could be said to be more and more stable.

In the previous round of indiscriminate bombardment, the battleships withstood too many attacks, and the Europa fleet with various degrees of damage appeared, and as the battle progressed, various problems were constantly exposed.

Gradually, a whole fleet has completely fallen to the bottom line.

Now that Yuan Xi, who is gradually gaining the advantage, it is absolutely impossible to give the opposite side a chance to turn around!

Led by the flagship Yangtze River, the main fleet, which had been keeping a distance and conducting long-range artillery bombardment, began to press.

At the same time, aside from a few frigates, a large number of destroyers moved quickly at speed, and vaguely, an invisible encirclement network was spread.

Realizing his current situation, Larshirac's face was faintly pale.

In these rounds, he has clearly realized that the opponent he is facing at this time will not give him any chance to turn the tables.

In the current situation, his defeat seems to have become a settlement.

"For so many years, I haven't been able to wait for a chance to go on the expedition, and as soon as I go out, is that it?"

Thinking of this, Larshirak couldn't help but show a miserable smile on his face.

However, he didn't intend to be killed like this!

"Pass the order, the whole fleet will break through in the direction of the east!"

As soon as the Europa fleet moved, the destroyer fleet on the periphery suddenly moved with it.

The advantage of the destroyer's speed at this moment can be said to be the greatest manifestation.

After crossing the minefield and withstanding the baptism of torpedo and artillery shelling, the destroyers of the Europa Fleet were already overwhelmed and could no longer pose a threat to the destroyers of the Yangtze River Fleet.

After losing the restraint, they act at this moment, and it can be said that they are even more unscrupulous.

A network of encirclement at sea, which always looms over the Europa fleet, makes it difficult for them to escape.

There is no doubt that by this moment, the suspense of this battle has been killed.

But the tenacity of the Europa fleet was still beyond Yuan Xi's expectations, originally he thought that this battle could end earlier, but he didn't expect it to take him a lot of work unexpectedly.

Amid the roar of the cannon, the Charlemagne, slowly sinking in the distance, drew the curtain on this naval battle.

But I still have to mention that this battleship, which is obviously named after Charlie Crumbel himself, has indeed spent a lot of money, and it is really quite resistant, Yuan Xi no longer knows how many shells he has knocked out.

Now to get back to the point, the only way to deal with those Europa soldiers who fell overboard was to shoot them.

The task of the Yangtze River Fleet was to surprise the enemy's rear, and it had no intention of returning there, obviously because it had no time to capture them.

Moreover, according to the current situation, capturing these enemy soldiers will not only increase their risk, but also increase the consumption of resources on the ship, and no matter how you think about it, it will be extremely difficult.

However, when it comes to resource consumption, Yuan Xi, who is located on the Yangtze River, naturally thought of the supply ship opposite at the first time.

Just as their fleet goes out on an expedition and has to bring supply ships to supply resources, according to the size of the opponent's fleet, there must also be supply ships.

As for the location of the supply ships, there is a good chance that ** is in the rear of the main fleet.

After all, a battle may break out on the side of the main fleet at any time, and it will be too much of a problem to bring the supply ships at that time, so it is a safer way to let the main fleet and the supply fleet travel for several days and keep their distance.

At least that's what the Yangtze River Fleet is doing today.

While the thoughts were flying, Yuan Xi first ordered someone to confirm the damage to his own fleet.

It took a lot of time, and a statistical report was finally delivered to Yuan Xi's eyes.

Seven destroyers were sunk, five were seriously damaged, and the rest were basically slightly damaged.

On the side of the battleship, the main guns of two battleships were damaged by enemy shelling, one hull armor was seriously damaged, and three were moderately damaged......

It is enough to see how stubborn the resistance of the Europa fleet was.

Exhaling a long breath, Yuan Xi slowly spoke after sorting out his thoughts......

"Find the nearest island to dock, dock all the seriously damaged warships, stay on the island, wait for the rescue of the rear supply ships, and the other warships will continue to advance with me, searching for the location of the enemy's supply fleet!"

At sea, what is a supply ship? That's a treasure full of supplies! No matter what the considerations are, Yuan Xi categorically has no reason to let go.

Briefly judging the position of the Europa fleet at that time, Yuan Xi led the Yangtze River fleet under his command and launched a search directly in the opposite direction.

It's definitely not a particularly difficult thing to do.

It would be too much of a hindrance to take the supply ships directly, but in order to facilitate the replenishment, the supply fleet would definitely not be too far from the main fleet.

And this is indeed the case, only three days later, the supply fleet of the Europa fleet appeared in Yuan Xi's field of vision.

The number of supply ships of the opposing side reached eight, and there were ten frigates around to escort them.

However, this little battle is obviously impossible to pose a threat to the Yangtze River Fleet.

In this era, the maximum speed of a supply ship full of resources is estimated to hover around 20 knots, and with this speed, it is impossible to escape.

Against their main fleet, they basically have to be slaughtered.

The battle began quickly and ended even faster, all ten frigates were sunk, all the supply ships were captured, and all eight ships of fuel, food and military supplies fell into the hands of the Yangtze River Fleet.

This is not a small gain, it is big enough to make the crew cheer!

Although they also had six supply ships to transport supplies, they were relatively sufficient.

But given the scale of the expedition, the daily consumption of each soldier had to be controlled.

However, now with the harvest of these eight ships, coupled with the victory in the previous naval battle, as the supreme commander of the Yangtze River Fleet, Yuan Xi is also quite enlightened to say that it is time to celebrate.

To put it bluntly, sailing is boring, going to sea for a long time, often only boring in the end, a person's spirit, in this state for a long time, will invisibly continue to accumulate pressure.

Therefore, it is also necessary to let the soldiers under his command relax and vent.

But there's nothing interesting on the sea, and at most it's enough for the soldiers to eat and drink, but that's enough.

The cheers of the navy soldiers kept coming from outside, Yuan Xi himself did not mingle in, at this time he was sitting in his captain's room, eating the canned fruit in his hand, while looking at the chart in front of him.

This chart was found from the supply ship that they had captured, and through this, he had now completely confirmed the location of the enemy's coastal cities!
