On the other side, Butter, Cripple and Parrot also received the news, and all three of them knew that there were five heavy cruisers and one battle cruiser on the opposite side, and then they were shocked by the powerful fire of the other side.

Butter was silent for a while: "The other party is very powerful, let's hurry back and command." ”

The lame man slapped the table and looked at the butter fiercely: "Is it different to command here?" Do you want to run away again? We are twice as many as each other, what are we afraid of? ”

Butter smiled bitterly in his heart, Made, Lao Tzu finally managed to save five ships, two of which are still light cruisers, if you lose one or two, it will be a big loss. But he had no choice but to have the lowest strength among the three, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Cripple, you misunderstood, how could our dominant brother run?" You give the order to command, brother promise to cooperate! ”

The lame man immediately said: "Maneuvering south, we will organize the heavy patrol into two teams, the butter three and my battle patrol into one, my two heavy patrols and the parrot's three into another team, the light patrol will be divided in half, and after the formation of the team, we will turn around and flank them." ”

After Xu Zhonglin got the information, he knew that it was not easy to fight: "Left rudder fifteen, the highest speed, let's go to the west of the other party." ”

After arriving at the position, Rena reported: "Admiral, the opposite side is fierce, a team of five heavy cruisers is robbing us of the T-shape, and the other team of four ships is going to engage us in a battle line artillery battle. ”

"What's the speed of the other party?"

"The team of four ships has thirty-one sections, and the team of five ships has thirty-two sections, which is not much different from us."

Xu Zhonglin looked at the sea map and compared the positions of the two sides, both teams were in the southeast direction of him, but the team of five ships was further south, presumably it was going to make a big detour, and the other team of four ships had already formed a battle line with him, and the distance was still close, but the two sides were now 40,000 meters away, less than the distance of the shelling.

"If you have fifteen left helms, we can't let the other party flank us."

In this way, Xu Zhonglin was lined up with the formation of the five heavy cruisers.

Rena reported: "The four ships in the formation have changed course again, trying to circle from the tail of our team to the other side to flank us. ”

After looking at the chart again, he made a big change of direction on the opposite side: "How far are we from that five-ship formation?" ”

"Thirty-five thousand meters!"

I silently calculated the time in my heart: "Lean up, the battle distance is 25,000 meters, we only have fifteen minutes, no matter what the result is, we must break away after the battle." ”

Xu Zhonglin felt that this was an opportunity, and the butter trio heard that the other party was approaching the formation of five ships, and was also faced with a choice, whether to change course and join the formation of five ships or outflank from the other side.

Butter agreed to converge, in fact, when the lame man was about to make a big detour just now, he didn't agree very much: "Cripple, converge, the other side is faster than us, hit and run, we can't catch it." ”

The cripple didn't think so: "Hmph, it's only fifteen minutes at most on the other side, as long as one of them is beaten to a stall, we can eat each other." ”

The parrot hesitated: "The opposite side is likely to be of the Des Moines class, the rate of fire is very fast, I am afraid that we will have losses, and it will not be easy to deal with it at that time." "Three of those five ships in the formation are his, so the parrot is afraid of losses.

The lame man knew that the other party was afraid: "Whoever loses this time, give him replenishment from the spoils of war." ”

Now the parrot has no opinion.

In this way, a fifteen-minute naval battle began.

Rena faithfully reported the situation: "Twenty-six thousand. ”

"Let's start fighting, the speed is twenty-five knots, and I'll be a little more accurate." Xu Zhonglin threw the pen in his hand, and the first retour duel to return to Laayoune kicked off.

When Xu Zhonglin's formation fired the first round of shelling, the three butters got the news, and the parrot scolded: "Grass, it's really Des Moines level, where did the black widow get the strong foreign help?" This should be an academic person, otherwise where would the drawings come from? ”

Butter was also a little silent, he was not stupid, he could take out five Des Moines level, he was definitely not an ordinary person, and none of these forces could afford to offend the three of them.

The cripple kicked the table: "What's the use of talking about this now?" The other side has opened fire, is it useful for us to beg for mercy? If you don't fight, you can only fight! Parrot, your heavy patrol follows, we get closer to 20,000 meters, and try to hurt each other. ”

On Xu Zhonglin's side, the accuracy of the artillery bombardment of Rena and the other ship's mothers was not very high, but the high rate of fire still achieved the first result after a minute, and an armor-piercing projectile of the soul girl passed through a distance of 25,000 kilometers, penetrating from the horizontal armor of the opponent's hull amidship, and the shell penetrated the horizontal armor near the opponent's chimney, all the way down, and finally exploded, and the heavy patrol that was hit exploded violently, and the distance was too far to see clearly, only to know that the speed of the opposite side dropped slightly.

Everyone was happy with the first result, and Rena reported: "Admiral, the other side is still approaching. ”

Xu Zhonglin didn't want the other party to get too close, but for the sake of stable shelling, this danger was still worth hating: "Steady shooting, these five minutes are ours, all fight well." ”

Sure enough, things were as he expected, and then Teresa achieved a second result, a cannonball hit a heavy cruiser bridge, and it seemed that the damage was not great, and it was obvious that it was still difficult to penetrate the heavily armored bridge at this distance.

However, one of Rena's shells hit the No. 1 turret of one of the heavy cruisers almost at the same time, and the cannonball pierced through the top of the turret and exploded, but unfortunately it did not seem to cause a martyrdom, but only blew the turret away.

Immediately afterward, the Soul Girl made a second hit, this time it was the heavy patrol that she had slowed down, a cannonball hit the bow of the ship, and it passed diagonally through the other side, and when it passed through the armor on the other side, it exploded, tearing a huge hole in the side of the heavy cruiser.

And that's not even the worst of it.

The worst thing is the heavy patrol that fought with Sissi and Canarias, a heavy armor-piercing projectile from Canarias hit the back of the bridge directly, and half of the bridge was directly blown away, as if damaging the core on the opposite side, the heavy patrol was directly silent, not only that, but also ignited the opponent's traffic boat!

By the light of the fire, Sissi fired ninety shells in one minute, three of which hit the opponent accurately, one of which penetrated into the No. 3 turret and blew the entire turret away, and the other hit the frontal armor of the No. 1 turret, although it failed to penetrate, but blew up two guns.

The last shot was the most ruthless, directly detonating the torpedo on the opposite side! The torpedo detonation caused the heavy cruiser to explode into a huge fireball, which not only lit itself, but also used its residual heat to illuminate several other ships on the surface of the sea.

Immediately afterward, a cannonball from Canarias put an end to the best sixth man, and the armor-piercing shell accurately hit the stern of the tragic cruiser, making its way down and exploding in the power compartment.

Then the heavy patrol was completely paralyzed on the sea, and the artillery stopped firing.
