"What is the Empire waiting for?"

"Triumph!"

Every one who sees the flag warship knows this "answer", and the blood cloud dragon claw flag fluttering high in the gale is the signal of the decisive battle!

A moment of abruptness. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※

The four Jilin-class and four Dalian-class ships broke away from the formation like wild horses on the loose, and the water that the majestic bow crashed into made the observer corps of the navies of various countries stunned.

"Report, 17,000 kilometers away."

"Sixteen thousand kilometers."

"Fifteen thousand kilometers."

"Fourteen thousand kilometers."

"Thirteen thousand kilometers!"

The captain of the voyage made a distance report one after another, which made the atmosphere in the Jilin tense, after all, there were eighteen capital battleships in the distance, and with the sound, everyone's eyes turned to Long Guozhang, who insisted on not going to the command tower, but stood in the bridge with a cigar in his mouth.

"Left rudder fifth, parallel."

When the inwardly deviated bow was 13,000 kilometers away from the Russian fleet, Long Guozhang finally gave the order, and the deflected bow immediately formed two parallel lines with the Russian fleet on the opposite side.

The water in the bow and the ever-enlarging shadow of the ship made Roger Stwinst understand that he could not go, and when all the radios failed, he had to continue to use the old method, ordering the first, second, and third battleship detachments to line up with the Imperial Tai as the leader, and the three cruiser detachments inserted inboard to form a double column with the battleship formation, while letting the remaining small cruiser detachment protect the transport ships and turn to Sibilu Island first.

But Long Guozhang didn't want to let go of a Russian ship, and immediately ordered Le Fei to lead a light patrol formation to intercept Russian small cruisers and logistics ships.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, after no hope of escaping, the first shell of the Battle of Sibilu, which took place in the Indian Ocean off Sumatra, only 30 kilometers from Sibilu Island, a flat island in the Mintawi Islands, was known as the first shell of the Battle of Sibilu, and the roaring naval guns were like a signal, opening the curtain of a naval battle that had been waiting for more than half a year and even produced a sense of suffocation.

After the failure of the radio command, which had been a great hope for victory, the ancient method of relying on the flag language to transmit the message made it impossible for the Russian fleet to achieve a unified artillery bombardment, although most of the three battleship detachments that had formed a battle line were unified L40305 mm naval guns, but the sound of artillery was still disheveled.

At the same time as the battleship detachment opened fire, the three cruiser detachments that were divided on the right also roared, and two main and auxiliary guns with a caliber of more than 190 mm opened fire at the same time, causing a black hurricane to suddenly roll up on the blue sea, and the smoke of gunpowder even blurred people's vision.

Hipper clutched the binoculars, and a few black dots in the lens whistled towards the Jilin, and the flight of more than ten seconds seemed to be very short, but it seemed extremely long in the rumbling cannon sound and violent heartbeat. 【 I want: super fast update 】

Boom Boom Boom –

The first wave of shells fell, and the nearest one was even fifty meters away on the starboard side of the Jilin, and a column of water several meters high rose into the air.

Whether it was Roger Steven, or ordinary Russian sailors, or even the three observation ships that hid far away for fear of harming the fish pond, or Li Mo on the Honolulu, who was also watching the battle from a distance, were all startled by this hurricane, no matter who it was, even Li Mo, who had built a powerful fleet, saw so many cannons roaring together for the first time" There is only one word to describe that feeling.

Landslides and cracks!

Yes, even if the average charge of Russian shells is less than one-tenth of that of Hua, and the ancient black powder is used, this kind of power is unimaginable to ordinary people.

He vividly remembered that in his previous life, he had seen a time traveler who returned to the battleship era with a game of B-Fleet and commanded the battle on the first day without changing his face.

Nonsense!

Li Mo really wanted to find out the guy who wrote the book, let him see this kind of stirring real naval battle, and tell him, "This is not a game that ordinary people can face, let alone a day, even if it is a year, some people can't guarantee that their faces will not change while watching nearly two hundred shells fall, because even listening to the roar of battleship guns that are not shielded in those videos will make people feel at a loss and frightened."

At least at that moment, for the first time, he had the idea that he would not lose.

Very, the second round of artillery bombardment of the Russian fleet began again, and when the shining fire balls lit up one after another, Li Mo found that Long Guozhang actually did not give the order to return fire, and immediately turned his head to look at Chen Ping.

"The Russians are really not very good at artillery." The rumbling sound of artillery not only did not make the chief of the general staff who was born in the navy worry, but licked his mouth as if he was still unsatisfied, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Long Guozhang knows it in his heart, it's not time yet!" ”

"It's not time yet?!"

Li Mo was in a hurry, and he couldn't wait to fly over and ask Long Guozhang in person, when would he start firing, you must know that it was so close that the shells fell dozens of meters away, and if he was adjusting a few rounds, wouldn't it be a few meters or even!

The rain-like shells fell again, and countless thick water columns rose from the starboard side of the eight capital ships again, not to mention Li Mo at this time, even the observers of various countries on the three observation ships, and even the Russian sailors were suspicious, could it be that the Chinese people were in too much of a hurry to go out without shells?!

On the mast, Hipper seemed to feel that his lungs were about to burn, and rounds of shells fell like raindrops, but what made him strange was that the fleet commander had not yet given the order to fire, and the eight capital ships were still rushing at a speed of more than 20 knots, and looking down from the flying hummingbirds, the eight capital ships were like swifts piercing through the rainstorm, and they didn't seem to care about the raindrops around them.

Suddenly, I don't know if it was missed or lucky, the 52-mm shell fell ten meters in front of the bridge of the Heilongjiang ship behind, and the explosion and fire suddenly rose from somewhere, although it was impossible for this level of shell to bring any damage to the Heilongjiang, but it still left a large black stain on the deck of the scrubbing.

Hipper was just about to turn the camera to see when the next round of shelling would come, when the camera suddenly shook a few sailors hiding behind the bridge and found that they were actually smoking cigarettes and didn't seem to see the explosion at all.

What kind of mindset is this?

Be on one's high horse? No, Hipper shook his head, even in a powerful fleet, it is impossible to remain indifferent to such an attack, it is not that they do not want to return fire, as can be seen from the rapid light and dark of the cigarette butts, "they are trying to suppress the flames in their chests."

But they didn't get orders!

Hipper seems to have found the reason for the fleet's rapid rise, piloting steel warships and training hard to turn themselves into icy war machines that, frighteningly, can follow orders strictly.

They are like a pack of red-eyed steppe wolves chasing their prey, waiting to strike a fatal blow!

Hipper quickly turned the camera, and when he looked over the smoke of gunpowder, he suddenly saw that the Jilin had caught up with the Huangtai in front, and finally understood why the dragon commander had not given the order to fight back.

"If they start firing back with their main guns, the huge recoil will push the hull sideways, so that the speed will have to be reduced immediately." Seymour frowned tightly as he looked at the "silent" fleet, which had rushed forward but had not fired a single shot so far, and a trace of throbbing rose in his heart.

Fisher nodded, "The battleship's T-shaped tactics were not invented by anyone, but summed up with countless blood, and the Chinese Navy strictly implemented this, even if it was temporarily suppressed, it did not give up the opportunity to create a lore."

Compared with the Russians' poor artillery skills of only hitting a few shots after ten rounds, they had the key to victory.

Velocity!

Fifteen minutes later, when the Harbin Heavy Patrol in the back also rushed out of the shelling circle of the Russian fleet with gunpowder smoke, Long Guozhang breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Left full rudder!" ”

"Full rudder left!"

While the first mate shouted in response, the helmsman used all his strength to hit the steering wheel to the left to the bottom, and the huge deck of the Jilin tilted sharply to the right, and the roaring steam turbine had accelerated to the limit, driving the four crankshafts to rotate rapidly.

Everyone saw that 12,000 meters in front of the Huangtai, "a white white water wave with an arc of about 90 degrees rolled up, and the seven capital ships in the rear also performed a full left rudder maneuver at the same time."

The steel monster of more than 20,000 tons turned sharply, and the tearing force was extremely amazing, even if Hipper got the news and grabbed the handrail, he felt as if he was about to be thrown out.

When the decks of the Jilin and the seven tripships behind it were leveled a few minutes later, Hipper saw the Russian-led Imperial Tai in the distance, and a perfect T-sign had been formed.

He immediately raised his binoculars again, knowing that the bombardment was about to begin, "He had to provide information to the gunnery battleship, and he also wanted to see with his own eyes the true power of a generation of battleships."

"Slow down" the old knots. ”

"Target, the Emperor."

"Hit me hard!"

Inside the bridge, after being covered by the Russians for more than ten minutes, Long Guozhang's anger finally erupted like magma, completely tearing off the disguise that had just calmed, and the gun commander immediately raised his phone after receiving the order.

"Target No. 1, Yantai."

"Gather fire!"

When a piercing electric sound sounded from the turrets, the gunners pressed the firing button almost at the same time, almost at the same time, 38 305 mm naval guns, 36 254 mm naval guns burst out of the roar, a huge orange fire ball exploded from every gun, and the huge recoil moved the battleship of more than 20,000 tons back nearly ten meters, so that Hipper, who was on the mast, seemed to be pushed and pulled violently, leaned forward and almost fell, but fortunately, the partner behind him grabbed him.

Ignoring his gratitude, Hippel immediately re-raised the telescope, and it took about twenty seconds from the launch of the cannon to the arrival of the 15,000-kilometer target, and he still had enough time to see the whole picture.

When a wave of cannonballs exploded countless columns of water around the Huangtai. Let the French-made battleship, which was called a masterpiece by Russia when it was launched, seemed to have fallen into a storm.

But before it could completely avoid the mist brought by the first round of shelling, just thirty seconds later, the first Chinese battleship detachment and the third heavy patrol detachment did not even see the effect of the first round, and fired the second round of shells again.

Velocity!

There is no doubt that from the silence and furiousness of the war to the continuous roar of the naval guns, Hipper finally grasped the key to this naval battle, and before he had time to exalt, a scene that made everyone jaw-dropping happened.

Twenty seconds later, when the third shell had been filled into the chamber and the muzzle of the cannon began to be raised rapidly to prepare for re-aim, a huge ball of fire suddenly erupted on the Huangtai in the distance.

In the smoke of gunpowder, Hippert only saw that the double pride of France and Russia was like a rooster whose neck had been broken, and before it could sing, it was violently broken in two from the position of the bridge in front, and the explosion of the distance even threw the bow stump of at least 2,000 tons high, and then smashed down on the surface of the sea and splashed a monstrous wave.

Everyone was half stunned.

Even Li Mo was stupid, and only two words appeared in his mind.

Spike!

A real spike!
