Chapter 451: The main battle is due

Each NPC will have three perks, one A-rank perk and two B-rank perks, but not all of them will be available at first. NPCs are also growing, for example, when Wu Peifu first joined Chen Hao, he only had two B-level stunts, and later awakened an A-level stunt rifle synergy.

Chen Shaokuan, as a famous admiral of the Chinese Navy, also has three stunts, and now he is still young, and he has only mastered one stunt. Generally speaking, NPC celebrities will comprehend B-level stunts first, and difficult A-level stunts will be comprehended last, but Chen Shaokuan comprehends A-level stunts first.

This may be due to the fact that Chen Haokuan was facilitated by Miao, Chen Shaokuan held a high-ranking official position when he was a teenager, so he first awakened the strategic analysis type of serial trap stunts. The A-rank stunt of Serial Trap is suitable for both army and naval generals, and even Air Force commanders may be this stunt.

The Stunt Trap has a 30% chance to create a strategic trap based on the situation, causing heavy losses to the enemy. Because Chen Hao had two new cruisers, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, Chen Shaokuan could boldly send a reconnaissance fleet to inspect the picture, and the movements of the Japanese player fleet were all unknown to him, so he naturally arranged a series of traps.

The Japanese attempted to use NPC armed merchant ships as bait to lure out a joint Chinese and Russian player fleet. After Chen Shaokuan found out the movement of the Japanese fleet, he planned to let Zhao Yun desperately annihilate the Japanese armed merchant ship "Shinano Maru", and after attracting the ambushed Japanese player fleet, he commanded the combined fleet of Chinese and Russian players to encircle and annihilate the Japanese player fleet.

After the 2nd Sentai of the Japanese NPC Fleet came to the west to support, the battleship Wudi of Han quickly met it and opened fire at a 90-degree angle with the 3rd Sentai of Japan. After the ten 305-mm main guns and twenty-four 76-mm secondary guns of the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were fired at the same time, the ferocious fire quickly overwhelmed the Japanese cruiser Izumo, and the second team immediately retreated to the west.

Chen Hao did not lead the fleet in pursuit, and the main fleet of the Japanese NPC was not far from this sea area. If his pursuit touched the main fleet of the Japanese, his dreadnoughts would be in danger. Although the Japanese would also pay a great price for annihilating the first squadron of the dreadnought as the flagship, Chen Hao would definitely not use his battleship to fight for the Russians.

Chen Shaokuan explained that the combat mission of the first team is to prevent the support of the Japanese aboriginal fleet, if the Japanese aboriginal fleet is all dispatched, the first team will give up the interception plan and retreat, and at the same time, the second, third, and fourth teams pursuing the Japanese player fleet will also turn to the direction of the Russian aboriginal fleet. If Japan had sent only a detachment. The first team intercepted it to buy time for the other three teams to pursue.

After the Second Squadron of the Japanese Aborigines returned, Heihachiro Togo frowned after listening to the report, and he found that the Inhuman fleet was in crisis. He didn't want to fight a decisive battle with the Russian fleet in this area, but if he gave up his own Inhuman fleet, and the Russians had a large number of Inhuman warships, this battle would be difficult to fight.

After hesitating for a moment, Heihachiro Togo gave the order, and all three sub-fleets of the Japanese Native Combined Fleet headed west in an attempt to rescue the Japanese Inhuman Fleet that was being pursued.

The commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet was Admiral Hachiro Godai. It has three sub-fleets, and the commander of the First Fleet, Rear Admiral Sotaro Misu, has three squadrons. First Sentai Team: Including Asahi (Mikasa's sister ship, the flagship of the first Sentai in history is Mikasa, but it was captured by Chen Hao in the game, so Asahi is called the flagship of the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet), Nisshin (flagship of the commander of the First Fleet), Shikishima, Fuji, and Kasuga.

Second Sentoma: Izumo (Second Sentai Commander Flagship), Iwate, Asama, Tokiwa, Yakumo, Azuma

Third Sentoshi: Kasaki (Third Sentai Commander's Flagship), Chitose, Shindaka, Otowwa

Destroyers: 1st Destroyer Group (5 destroyers), 2nd Destroyer Group (4 destroyers), 3rd Destroyer Group (4 destroyers), 14th Torpedo Boat Squadron (4 torpedo boats)

The commander of the Second Fleet was Vice Admiral Hikonojo Uemura, and he had the Fourth Sentai under his command, and several cruisers under his command were Naniwa (the flagship of the commander of the Fourth Sentai Fleet), Takachiho, Akashi, and Tsushima. Also included are destroyer squadrons. 4th Destroyer Group (4 destroyers), 5th Destroyer Group (4 destroyers), 9th Torpedo Boat Squadron (4 torpedo boats), 10th Torpedo Boat Squadron (3 torpedo boats)

The commander of the Third Fleet was Vice Admiral Shichiro Kataoka, and he had three teams under his command. 5th Sentai Itsukushima (flagship of the commander of the 3rd Fleet and 5th Sentai Fleet), Zhenyuan, Matsushima, Hashidate; Sixth Sentai: Akitsuzu (Commander of the Sixth Sentai Flagship), Suma, Chiyoda, Izumi; Seventh Sentai Team: Fuso (Sentai Seventh Flagship), Takao, Tsukushi, Maya, Shimami, Uji.

Zhenyuan of the 3rd Sentai of the Japanese Native Fleet. It was one of the two battleships of the Beiyang Naval Division of China, which was captured by the Japanese during the Sino-Japanese War. The sister ship of the Dingyuan, the flagship of the Beiyang Naval Division, has been in service with the Japanese Navy since its capture, and the Japanese have historically kept the Zhenyuan in service until 1912.

After the Japanese turned around and supported the 2nd Squadron to the east, Chen Shaokuan commanded the 1st Squadron of the Player Fleet to the south and submitted a battle plan to the Russian commander Rozdvinsky. Chen Shaokuan believed that the Japanese would definitely not be willing to give up the Inhuman fleet. The main force would advance to the northwest to support, so he suggested that the Russian NPC fleet quickly head north to join the Inhuman fleet and then engage the Japanese in a decisive battle.

Rozdvinsky agreed with Chen Shaokuan's judgment, but he proposed another set of combat plans, that is, the main force of the Russian aboriginal fleet to intercept the main fleet of the Japanese Navy. Although Rozdvinsky did not think that his fleet would be 100% capable of defeating the Japanese. However, he believed that it would not be a problem for the Russian main fleet to hold back the main force of the Japanese Navy, and that it would be possible to completely annihilate the main Japanese fleet in one fell swoop by waiting for the player fleet that was pursuing the Japanese Inhuman fleet to return to the sea.

Rozdvensky's battle plan seemed reasonable, but it was very risky, since the warships of the Russian aboriginal navy were not as advanced as the Japanese. If the Russian NPC fleet and the Japanese capital ships were defeated in a battle and suffered heavy losses in a short period of time, the results of this battle painstakingly designed by Chen Shaokuan might be discounted.

Chen Shaokuan argued with reason, but Rozdvinsky did not accept his suggestion, which made him quite helpless. Chen Shaokuan found Chen Hao and wanted Chen Hao to persuade Rozdvensky, but Chen Hao smiled and asked him to leave the Russians alone.

In history, the Russian fleet was completely defeated by the Japanese fleet, and now this scene is likely to be repeated in the game, but Chen Hao does not want to stop it. He hoped that the Battle of Tsushima would be finished for the Japanese, but he also did not want the Russians to win too easily, and the Russians had better win a crushing victory. Since Rozdvinsky wanted to lead the NPC fleet to a decisive battle with the Japanese, it was up to him to go, and when the NPC fleets of the two countries were almost matched, he ordered the three pursuing teams to return to the battlefield and join the battlefield, just in time to clean up the mess.

When the Russian NPC fleet suffered heavy losses, Rozdvinsky would definitely panic, and at that time some conditions could be put on him. For example, if the warships can be captured in this battle, Chen Hao can propose that the captured warships belong to him and do not need to be handed over to the Russians, which can further enhance the strength of the Cam Ranh Bay Navy.

Chen Hao also has a wish, the Zhenyuan ship that served in the Japanese Navy, he wants to take this warship back. The Zhenyuan ship is already behind, but he is a symbol, if the Japanese navy is defeated and the Zhenyuan ship is recaptured, his prestige in China will be raised to a new level.

After Chen Hao told Chen Shaokuan his thoughts, Chen Shaokuan pondered for a moment and said: "Your Excellency's idea is very good, but we must pay attention to grasp the scale, otherwise when the Russian aboriginal fleet suffers heavy losses, we will appear again, maybe the Japanese will win." ”

Chen Hao nodded and said, "I understand this, the fleet is under your command, if you think it may lead to defeat, you can recall the three warbands that are pursuing the Japanese Inhuman fleet in advance." The Japanese Inhuman fleet has been frightened, and they don't dare to turn back when our three warteams retreat, so it doesn't matter if they have some warships left. ”

Chen Shaokuan quickly drew up a battle plan, and for the sake of safety, he suggested that the three teams be recalled immediately after the war between the Japanese and Russian navies began. Doing so may have saved the Russian NPC fleet from losing too much, but it would ensure that the Japanese would lose the Battle of Tsushima and that nothing would happen.

The Russian Pacific Main Fleet led by Rozdvinsky soon met the Japanese Main Fleet, and as in history, Rozdvinsky was completely defeated by Heihachiro Togo in command. Heihachiro Togo boldly ordered the fleet to turn, directly subjected the flagship to the Russian fire, and then wounded the Russian flagship, the Duke of Suvorov, with all his might.

Rozdvinsky did not give the order to retreat, because he had the support of the Inhuman fleet, so he ordered all the warships to return fire with all their might. In the course of the battle, the Russian fleet quickly lost three cruisers, and the battleship Duke Suvorov also tilted, Rozdvinsky panicked at this time, and hurriedly sent a telegram to Chen Hao to quickly lead the player fleet to support.

After Chen Shaokuan gave the order, the other three teams were already approaching the first team, and they were only twelve nautical miles apart. If Chen Hao was willing to support, he could immediately order the first team to participate in the battle, but he called back to Rozdvinsky: "Your Excellency Commander, there is something I forgot to say when I joined the war, if my fleet captures the Japanese warship, I must keep it to myself, what do you think?" ”

"I agree to your conditions, please lead the fleet into battle immediately." Rozdvinsky gritted his teeth and ordered the operator to call back.

After Chen Hao received the order, he immediately ordered the other three teams to move closer to the first team, and after gathering together, they drove towards the sea area where the main fleet of Japan and Russia fought a decisive battle. (To be continued......)
