Chapter 1355, Terrorists
Under this scattered formation, the numerical superiority of the small warships of the Imperial fleet was quite obvious.
If it is intercepted one-on-one, it is really unlikely that the Yangtze River Fleet, which does not have a numerical advantage, wants to stop them all.
Reducing the number of warships on the opposite side suddenly became a matter of urgency for the Yangtze River fleet.
The destroyers' priority targets quickly locked on to the enemy's civilian warships.
It cannot be denied that even these civilian warships, if left unchecked, will pose a threat to them.
At the same time, there is also a major reason that civilian warships are easier to sink.
As long as they hurry up and sink some of the enemy's civilian warships, then they will soon be able to control the number of warships in the Imperial fleet.
When the time comes, the Imperial Fleet, which has been deprived of even its numerical superiority, will naturally have to die obediently.
The guns mounted on the destroyer opened fire quickly, and as the distance between the two sides continued to close, the shells that flew out could be said to have smashed the deck of the bow of a civilian warship with considerable accuracy.
However, I don't know if the other party is stupid, or if it's something else.
The civilian warship that had been shelled by the destroyers did not evade it, nor did it turn sideways to prepare for a counterattack with naval guns, but rushed towards them in a straight line without stopping.
This situation can be said to have caught the destroyer that was preparing to launch a pursuit by surprise.
In his heart, he vaguely knew what the other party was going to do, and the captain hurriedly ordered to distance himself.
However, at that time, the destroyer that was facing the hull of the ship and launching an artillery bombardment, how could the other side rush all the way fast?
The speed of the destroyer had just been raised, and before it had time to run far, with a loud sound of heavy objects colliding, the civilian warship that had been rushing all the way had already slammed headlong into the hull of the destroyer.
The powerful impact caused the entire destroyer to shake violently, and the interior was even more chaotic.
However, warships are warships after all, and even destroyers with the thinnest armor plates have significantly stronger defensive capabilities than civilian warships that have been temporarily modified.
In one crash, the civilian warship smashed its entire bow to pieces, but the damage to the destroyer was relatively limited.
However, just when everyone thought that this practice of the Imperial Fleet was completely useless, only a 'boom' explosion was heard, and a deafening and violent explosion was heard, and while setting off a large number of waves, the flames of the explosion spread rapidly, and the destroyer was blown up and sunk on the spot.
Then, before Tong Lei could come back to his senses, on the battlefield on the sea, a series of explosions had already sounded one after another.
"Inform the whole fleet to avoid enemy civilian warships and don't let them come close!!"
In the temporary flagship of the Yangtze River Fleet, Tong Lei's voice roared quickly, and at this time, he could be said to be almost crazy.
The Imperial fleet turned out to be the most frenzied suicide fight, and those civilian warships were all suicide ships filled with high explosives!
That's right, this is Charlie Clumbel's 'surprise' for the Yangtze River Fleet! ’
In comparison, the battleship Counterattack and four heavy cruisers in the rear turned out to be a decoy for the implementation of tactics.
Under this premise, in order to ensure the speed of these suicide ships, he also tried various ways to reduce the weight of civilian warships.
If you look closer, you will see that the guns on those civilian warships are just empty shells, and they are made of wood, just to hide people's eyes......
As the saying goes, the soft are afraid of the hard, the hard are afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal is afraid of the dead!
Now they have a large group of 'terrorists' in front of them, how can they fight this?
In order to turn the tables in this wave, Charlie Crumber really made a lot of money.
These 'terrorists' are not born without fear of death, they are smashed out of money.
Compared with this fund, it was the high explosives installed on civilian warships, which did not cost him much, because it was all his previous inventory.
Now to get back to the point, this wave of offensive by the Imperial Suicide Ship not only sank several destroyers of the Yangtze River Fleet in one go, but also brought huge psychological pressure to the naval soldiers.
At this moment, the battle situation on the sea changed drastically.
The situation of the Yangtze River Fleet has obviously become a little passive, which is also something that cannot be helped, who can face such a group of outlaws without being affected at all?
And during this period, the Imperial fleet, which seized the opportunity, would not be polite to them.
Destroyers followed behind the suicide ships, constantly chasing and killing, continuous shelling, and occasional torpedoes, making the situation of the Yangtze River Fleet continue to worsen.
And the most troublesome thing is that they don't worry about accidentally hurting their own people at all.
Or it doesn't matter if they were injured by mistake, after all, the crews of these suicide ships have already sold their lives to Charlie Crumbel.
The sky-high price of life money has already been paid, and it is clear that dying in this battle has become their obligation.
It is no exaggeration to say that the chaotic battle situation in front of him is completely beyond Tong Lei's control.
Those light-tonnage suicide ships were so fast that they couldn't escape.
The only order that Tong Lei can give now is only one.
That is, to sink the other party before the suicide ship hits them!
The naval guns fired in unison, and on the torpedo launchers, one torpedo after another was fired rapidly.
Three of the destroyers, after converging in one place, directly blocked the sea route with torpedoes and launched a range strike.
Civilian warships, which can only rush brainlessly, are clearly not able to cope with such an attack.
Two of the suicide ships were torpedoed on the spot, and then detonated their own high explosives, and the terrifying explosion directly blew the two civilian warships to pieces.
Even an enemy destroyer that was following behind at the time was affected.
Although it was torpedo-intensive, it was certainly a viable option.
At this moment, this naval battle can be said to be more and more tragic.
The suicidal style of play caused the number of suicide ships in the Imperial fleet to decrease rapidly.
But on the other hand, the Yangtze River Fleet also paid a heavy price.
The deafening explosion roared and continued to impact Tong Lei's eardrums, however, he didn't have time to care about this at this time.
It's the closest battleship 006 to him! That battleship was hit by an enemy suicide ship!
"Quick, hurry up and confirm the situation!"
"The report is being confirmed."
"Lieutenant Colonel! Enemy destroyers approaching were spotted in the left rear! ”
There was chaos on the sea, and in order to prevent the opposite suicide ship from approaching, Tong Lei had already sent out all the surrounding frigates.
Now it is undoubtedly exploited by the two destroyers of the enemy!
"Sink them!!"
