Someone thought he had a plan, but who knew that the face of the soul girl was even more ugly: "Admiral, Caprela asked us to send four expulsions to support." ”

Xu Zhonglin calculated in his heart and found that this was the maximum power he could draw now. This shows that Caprera knows his dynamics inside out.

Seeing that he frowned and didn't speak, the soul girl was a little sad: "I'm sorry Admiral, my sister was concerned about our safety just now, so I told her the truth about our situation." My sister asked me to persuade you to go, saying that there are benefits after the war. ”

Caprela's request, Xu Zhonglin had no way to refuse. So he had no choice but to agree.

"I'll bring the four destroyers with the least injuries, and the rest of you must do a good job of reconnaissance and rush to the beach as soon as possible, Rena, Teresa and the goddess of wisdom will be dragged to the sandbar as soon as possible by the uninjured expellation, and run aground, pay attention to anti-submarine, and give early warning in case of any situation. If you are attacked, threaten those two captives, and if they dare to do anything, you will sink them!" ”

Xu Zhonglin, the two captured heavy cruisers, didn't take care of it all the time, and sent four destroyers over to help with the damage and threw them aside, which happened to be used as hostages at this time.

Xu Zhonglin drove west along the sandbar with four light cruisers, and the speed was not fast along the way, mainly to help the rear fleet to do reconnaissance and early warning. His current flagship is Yutebi, the goddess of lyric poetry and music.

Yutebi was the youngest of the nine muses, and his temperament was very literary and artistic, but he did not flinch in battle, and this time he was hit by two shells during the lightning charge, lost a cannon, and gnawed a large piece above the waterline on the side side.

The other three ships are in worse condition, the goddess of tragedy, Mel Parmini, has lost two turrets, the goddess of comedy Talia is the same, and the worst is Barcelisa, the bridge has been flattened entirely, so Xu Zhonglin can't use her as a flagship.

The road was quite safe, just now he was in the north-east direction of Howmetsuk, there was no strategic value point here, so Austria-Hungary did not waste troops, which just ensured his safety for the time being.

After driving at full speed for an hour, he joined up with Costa's large force, reported his identity, and entered the escort formation.

It was the first time Xu Zhonglin watched the death-and-death duel between battleships so closely, and he was deeply shocked. The huge cannonballs fell into the water and stirred up a column of water dozens of meters high, distributed on the sea surface in an oval shape, and when viewed from the bridge, it was like a wall suddenly surging up on the sea!

But after looking at it for a while, Xu Zhonglin scolded, it turned out that Costa was now 26,000 kilometers away from the opposite side, and no matter how close the opposite side was, he would speed up to dodge.

After fighting for so long, the distance between the two sides is still a thousand meters away.

asked a second lieutenant next to him about the results of this naval battle, Xu Zhonglin was so angry that he was about to soar, and in more than an hour of artillery battle, Costa's 27 main guns actually only hit the opponent once, and they had not yet penetrated. He was hit three times and had some minor damage.

The escort formations on both sides fought fiercely, and they went back and forth, losing a total of more than a dozen warships.

After understanding the situation, I heard that Teresa and the others had all successfully washed the beach, and someone was in a good mood and began to watch the monkey show with coffee. There are still two hours before dawn, and the other side has to retreat in an hour at most, according to Costa's way of playing, it is no problem to delay until dawn, this battle has nothing to do with him.

As soon as someone showed off the big picture, he was slapped in the face.

Yutebi informed him: "Admiral, two enemy battle patrols with light patrol formations have been found to be rushing at high speed from the north!" ”

it! How did the other party do it? You know, now the sea is full of patrolling high-speed destroyers. These must have been the same two ships that had just fought Major Rossi.

On the other side, Costa also seemed to panic, and hurriedly began to speed up the fleet.

Yutevidu reported to Xu Zhonglin with great contempt: "Admiral, that fool of Costa has ordered the expulsion fleet to strike again!" ”

"Tell him that our torpedo launchers are all broken and cannot be struck by lightning." It doesn't matter what others think of Xu Zhonglin, he will definitely not listen to this kind of death order. He was not always against lightning strikes, but he was against this kind of lightning strikes that sent him to death. It depends on the situation, the other party is now surrounded by a large number of light patrols, and the doctrine of the existence of the 152 Divine Sect is to teach expulsion and behave as a person, he understands it very well, and he will not defy the law.

Xu Zhonglin's failure to attack does not mean that others can also disobey the order, and half an hour later, the news came, and five more destroyers were lost, and most of the others were injured, and now the entire fleet was even overstretched with escorts, and the result was as expected - zero.

The most worrying thing is that now Costa's three battleships have been wrapped in dumplings, and the two battle cruisers of the other side have seized his right front and are firing a salvo at the first battleship of the column, while the two Bismarck-class battleships are on his left, attacking the second and third ships respectively, and both squads are about 23,000 kilometers away from him, which is a dangerous distance!

The first unlucky was the third ship, this is Major Marino's battle cruiser, which looks similar to Veneto, in fact, the defense is seriously weakened, and no one has paid attention to him before, but a 380 mm armor-piercing projectile from the Bismarck-class made her appear in its original form, and the shell drilled into the interior of the hull along the stern, all the way to the power compartment at the bottom, and after the explosion, the power of the battle cruiser was directly abolished.

Soon, the battlecruiser had a stern tilt, and after discovering this situation, the Bismarck-class battleship of the other side was even more excited, and it was not too easy for the accurate main gun to hit such a stationary target, and the main gun hit the poor battlecruiser one after another.

At this time, it can actually be rescued, the other side still has half an hour at most, if Costa aims the main guns of the two Veneto-class battleships at that Bismarck-class at this time, the other party should not dare to kill him.

Unfortunately, Xu Zhonglin received an order to follow the main fleet and continue sailing.

Twenty minutes later, Major Marino sank with his secretary ship!

Costa didn't care about the lives of others, and he himself suffered the bitter fruit, and after the channel was cut off, he could only turn to the southwest, but in this way, the distance between the three parties was further narrowed, and the other party seemed to know that he could not eat the two battleships, and the remaining three battleships invariably began to concentrate on the Venetto-class battleship at the head.

The two new battlecruisers use the same Shane 283mm guns as Canarias, which have set a record for the longest range of hits in the original world, and the accuracy is extremely high. Within a minute, the Veneto had been hit three times, but none of them were too lethal.

But two minutes later, the main gun shells from another Bismarck-class ship sounded the death knell of the battleship. The 800-kilogram armor-piercing shell pierced directly through the main armor belt on the side side, and after the explosion, a large part of the armor was peeled off, and the speed of the Veneto-class immediately dropped and it tilted to the left!

Then, half a minute later, two more heavy shells exploded at the same time on the poor ship's hull, and both armor-piercing shells accurately drilled into the hull, and exploded almost simultaneously, and the violent explosion even raised two miniature mushroom clouds.

Xu Zhonglin was far away, and there were fragments of the Veneto-class battleship falling on the hull of Yutebi.

At this time, Costa was like a lost dog, frantically ordering the only remaining Veneto-class battleship: "Right full rudder, full speed, north!" Hurry, it's too late for the other party's muzzle to turn around in a while! ”

Xu Zhonglin, who fled with him, felt that his group of people could now be described in one word - gallless rats.
