"Shameless Chinese! They're all cowards! They don't even dare to fight us in a big fight! "On the battleship 'Holo', the commander of the Navy of the Sultanate of Sulu, General Ahmed, shouted angrily!

This tactic adopted by the First Fleet of the Xinhua Navy caused heavy losses to the Navy of the Sultanate of Sulu! In terms of speed, the warships of the Navy of the Sultanate of Sulu could not catch up with the warships of the Navy of the New Zealand! In terms of firepower, the two are even more incomparable! The powerful firepower of the Shark-class cruisers of the Xinhua Navy can easily destroy the warships of the Sultanate of Sulu Navy from a long distance! And the warships of the Navy of the Sultanate of Sulu could only look at the warships of the Xinhua Navy from afar and sigh!

This naval battle, in essence, was simply a completely unequal battle. The First Fleet of the Xinhua Navy uses the performance of warships to continuously ** the Navy of the Sultanate of Sulu. An hour after the start of the battle, more than thirty large and small warships of the Navy of the Sultanate of Sulu had already been sunk! The 12 'Shark-class' cruisers of the First Fleet of the Xinhua Navy have not been damaged at all. At a distance of more than 1,000 meters, the old guns used by the navy of the Sultanate of Sulu pose no threat to the 'Shark-class' cruisers. From beginning to end, the Navy of the Sultanate of Sulu was completely in a position of passive beating!

On the cruiser 'Xinhua', Luo Sangu was holding a telescope, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth! The warships of the Sultanate of Sulu Navy continue to be sunk, and before you know it, the strength of both sides has changed radically! In the beginning, the number of warships between the two sides was as high as 1:6, but now it has dropped to 1:3! In another half an hour, the naval ships of the Sultanate of Sulu will be even more scarce. When the time comes, it will be time for the First Fleet of the Xinhua Navy to counterattack!

For Luo Sangu, a former pirate leader, the tactics adopted by the Xinhua Navy are very appetizing to her! Pirates? The emphasis is on seizing the opportunity, giving the enemy a bite, making full use of their own advantages, and constantly weakening the enemy's strength, so as to achieve the final victory! As for whether the tactics are above board or not, it doesn't matter! As long as you can defeat the enemy, that's all that matters! Didn't pirates flee when they encountered a powerful and invincible enemy?

"Give orders to the ships and hurry up to destroy the enemy's ships! Half an hour later, the fleet launched a counterattack! Kill them all! Luo Sangu put down the binoculars in her hand and calmly gave the order. At this point in the battle, the Xinhua Navy had already won the game!

"Yes, Commander!" The communications officer replied. Soon, the flag-bearer on the battleship gave the order. For a time, the shelling of the First Fleet of the Xinhua Navy became even more intense!

"Boom! Rumble! "A small warship of the Sultanate of Sulu Navy was hit by two 105-millimeter naval guns at the same time, and the 12.5-kilogram shell could easily smash the deck of the battleship under the action of huge kinetic energy. The shells exploded inside the battleship, and the force of the explosion shattered the small battleship. Most of the hundreds of officers and men of the Sulu Sultanate's navy on board the battleship were killed in the explosion. The few remaining people also fell into the sea!

"Command the ships! Full speed out! Withdraw to Hollo Island! "On the battleship 'Holo', General Ahmed gritted his teeth and gave the order to withdraw! He knew very well that in the current situation, the navy of the Sultanate of Sulu had already lost! If you continue to fight, it will only add to the loss! It's just that for the Navy of the Sultanate of Sulu, the retreat is not so easy. The warships of the Xinhua Navy are faster, and they will definitely not let the Navy of the Sultanate of Sulu escape so easily!

After receiving the order of General Ahmed, the remaining warships of the Sulu Sultanate Navy could not continue to fight the Xinhua Navy, so they turned their bows, adjusted their sails, and fled west at full speed. In this more than an hour of fighting, they have been beaten to the point that they have lost their temper at all. At the beginning, they thought that the Xinhua Navy only had 12 warships, and although the warships were larger, they would definitely be able to win with absolute numerical superiority. But as the war progressed, more and more warships were sunk, and the remaining naval officers and men of the Sulu Sultanate lost confidence. So after receiving the order to retreat, immediately began to flee for your life!

"Humph! Can you escape? Order all ships, pursue the enemy, and not let go of a single ship of the Sultanate of Sulu! Also, during the pursuit, keep your distance and watch out for the enemy! Luo Sangu immediately gave an order!

The 12 'Shark-class' cruisers of the First Fleet of the Xinhua Navy also immediately changed course. In the beginning, they kept sailing eastward to distance themselves. And now, it's them in pursuit! The 'Shark-class' cruiser, like a shark in the sea, chased after the fleeing Sultanate of Sulu and killed those warships one after another with the guns on the battleships! With inferior speed, it is almost impossible for the navy of the Sultanate of Sulu to escape!

General Ahmed's mood was very low at the moment. Suleiman's Sultan asked him to lead an army to attack the Chinese, and he had high hopes for him. But now, he has fled in defeat. There is no doubt that even after returning to Holo Island, his situation will be very miserable. However, the most important question at hand is, will the Xinhua Navy let them escape?

Relying on their speed, the 'Shark-class' cruisers of the Xinhua Navy caught up with the Navy of the Sultanate of Sulu. Take advantage of your artillery and attack the Sultanate of Sulu Navy from a distance of a kilometer! Under the heavy shelling of the Xinhua Navy, the Sulu Sultanate Navy was sunk. The naval strength of the Sultanate of Sulu is also rapidly declining. Morro Bay will undoubtedly be the burial place of the Navy of the Sultanate of Sulu!

The most tragic was undoubtedly the army that followed the navy of the Sultanate of Sulu on its expedition. More than 5,000 officers and men of the army boarded more than a dozen merchant ships, waiting for the navy to defeat the Chinese navy, and then escorted them to Mindanao. However, they never imagined that the final result would be a great defeat for the navy, and those Chinese warships were chasing after them!

The commander of the army of the Sultanate of Sulu, Alef, was furious and immediately ordered a retreat. It's just that the speed of a merchant ship is simply not comparable to that of a warship. Soon they were caught up by the Xinhua Navy. Of course, the Xinhua Navy will not let go of these merchant ships!

As soon as the artillery fire came down, all these merchant ships were sunk. More than 5,000 officers and soldiers of the Sulu Sultanate Army, except for those who were killed in the bombing, all the rest fell into the sea. The First Fleet of the Xinhua Navy ignored the people who fell into the sea and continued to pursue the fleeing Sultanate of Sulu. For these people who fell into the sea, their fate was already sealed. Morro Bay was at least 200 kilometers from Hollow Island, and it was absolutely impossible for them to swim back to Hollow Island after the ship was sunk.

The Battle of Morro Bay lasted until four o'clock in the afternoon. The flagship of the Sultanate of Sulu Navy, HMS Holo, was the last to be sunk! Although, at the last moment, General Ahmed ordered surrender. It's just that Luo Sangu still ordered to open fire as if he didn't see the white flag raised from the 'Holo' battleship.

In the shelling of the Xinhua Navy, the 'Holo' was blown apart. Ahmed was also killed on the spot. For the Navy of the Xinhua Kingdom, such a small warship of the Navy of the Sultanate of Sulu is not eye-catching! The second batch of 'Shark-class' cruisers of the Xinhua Navy is already under construction. With the workers of the shipyard working overtime, the ships were still a few months away from service. The unified use of the 'Shark-class' cruisers is conducive to the command and logistical supply of the Xinhua Navy. Therefore, there is no need for other warships!

After sinking all the warships of the Sulu Sultanate's navy, Luo Sangu ordered to return to the ship, preparing to report the good news to Long Yufei! As for the officers and men of the army and navy of the Sultanate of Sulu who were still floating on the sea, Luo Sangu simply ignored them. These natives whose hands are stained with the blood of the Chinese, let them be buried in the belly of the fish, it is already cheap for them!

On the evening of March 26, the First Fleet of the Xinhua Navy returned to Cotabatar. Long Yufei personally greeted Luo Sangu on the dock and returned triumphantly! After seeing the 12 'Shark-class' cruisers of the First Fleet return unscathed, Long Yufei was completely relieved. Before the second batch of 12 'Shark-class' cruisers were not put into service, these warships were the foundation of Xinhua!

The troops left behind in Cotabato had prepared a sumptuous dinner for the officers and men of the navy to celebrate their success. And Luo Sangu privately reported the results to Long Yufei. Long Yufei was overjoyed to learn that this battle had wiped out more than 70 warships of the Sultanate of Sulu Navy and thousands of infantry. This means that the navy of the new country has eliminated the main force of the army and navy of the Sultanate of Sulu!

Long Yufei immediately ordered, the First Fleet began to replenish ammunition, and after resting for a day, it immediately set off for Holo Island to block the entire island! It is the capital of the Sultanate of Sulu, and all the wealth of the Sultanate of Sulu has accumulated there, and if the Sultan of the Sultanate of Sulu realizes that something is wrong and transfers it in advance, it will be a big loss!

On March 28, the First Fleet of the Xinhua Navy set out again, aiming at Holo Island, the capital of the Sultanate of Sulu! In addition to the 12 battleships of the First Fleet, there were two infantry battalions of the 1st Brigade of the Army! In addition, 3 infantry battalions and 1 artillery battalion of the 2nd Brigade transferred from Xinhua City will also go directly to Holo Island!
