From the warm Mediterranean Sea to the Black Sea, which is warm and cold.

Li Xiao is still a little uncomfortable, mainly because he doesn't know what kind of clothes to wear.

In the morning and evening, it is a little cold without a coat. At noon, I still felt hot in my coat.

The Black Sea is actually not very large, and it is only a straight line distance of more than 500 kilometers from Constantinople to Sevastopol.

Relative to the Mediterranean, the Black Sea is a bathing tub!

But it is this bathtub that now brings together two of the most powerful fleets in the world.

"There's not even a moonlight this night, and the speed can't go up!"

Li Xiu put down the binoculars and cursed the damn ghost weather.

In good conscience, the weather in the Black Sea during this time was not bad.

At least not in winter, when the sky is overcast all day, and you can see goose feathers and snow every few days.

Such a huge formation did not dare to sail quickly in the dark conditions of the night.

Visibility is not good, and a little slower speed can avoid collisions.

Because the south wind was blowing, the fleet sailing downwind had reduced its speed to a minimum.

"Who said there is no moon, look at what is hanging high in the sky." Li Xiao didn't hold a telescope at all.

It's too dark, and it doesn't really make much difference whether you have a telescope or not.

Following Li Xiao's fingers, Li Xiu saw a moon like a bean sprout hanging high above the sky.

With such a small crescent, how much moonlight can be spilled?

"It is expected that tomorrow it will be a hundred kilometers off the coast of Sevistopol!" Chen Laohu's eyes moved away from the chart.

Since he re-boarded the ship, Chen Laohu has sat down to practice no matter what.

Even the work of surveying and mapping nautical charts had to be done by the naval commander himself.

Although Li Xiu knew that the trembling little staff officer might have done better, he still let Chen Laohu's behavior go unchecked.

He knew that Chen Laohu was showing his value to Li Xiao.

The Navy is a very technical branch of the military, and not everyone can play every post.

Li Xiao is also resigned to this kind of behavior, anyway, he doesn't care about the things on the sea, and he can't understand it.

After 20 years of development, the Navy has already formed a unique code of conduct.

A drill suitable for the sea!

If the layman rushes to care, he may make a joke.

The handsome man can't make mistakes, and the gang of rammers who make jokes will also carry it out.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty always had a blind worship of Li Xiao.

This kind of worship was especially popular among the old Liao army troops.

Even if Li Xiao says that the eggs are made on the tree, these guys will find more than N evidence that the eggs are made on the tree.

Some shameless ones will say that there is a handle on it, and there are two leaves.

In short, what the marshal said was right. What is wrong is also right, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, as long as the commander orders them, they will carry it out.

"Tomorrow at dawn, reconnaissance planes will be released to reconnoiter the position of the enemy fleet.

We don't have that much time to play with them and take out the Israelis fleet.

Blow Sevastopol to shreds, and we'll go back. ”

For aircraft carriers, as soon as the enemy fleet is discovered, the battle is essentially over.

It's a completely asymmetrical blow!

Li Xiao was thinking that after killing the enemy fleet, he would take the Yanshan to Sochi.

Then take an airship and go to Tsarizingrad, inspect the southern front, and then return to Moscow.

"The destroyers on both sides issued a forty-kilometer alert, and the fleet maintained its current speed and course.

Call me tomorrow at five o'clock in the morning! ”

Li Xiu followed Li Xiao and left Jianqiao.

The night before the war was eerily silent, except for the sound of the bow splitting the waves.

I drank a little wine with Li Xiu, and drank a little wine before going to bed, which had a good hypnotic effect.

Not long after lying on the bunk, Li Xiao fell asleep deeply.

While Li Xiao was asleep, Chen Siping, the captain of the Youzhou, was staring at the sea vigilantly.

As a left-wing alert ship of the fleet, Chen Siping did not dare to slack off.

Because there is not only a commander in the fleet, but also a commander.

Chen Laohu has specially taken care of the children of the Chen family, and he must cheer up these days.

If something happens again, it will not be the matter of him Chen Laohu alone, but the beginning of the decline of the entire Chen family.

No one dares to take responsibility for the decline of the family, and they will be expelled from the Chen family.

Chen Siping is going not to sleep tonight, he has to keep an eye on every move on the sea.

Even a seabird flying over had to be under his watch.

"Captain, sleep for a while, the sea is so quiet that there isn't even a fishing boat.

If you're not at ease, I'll keep an eye on it for you.

Tomorrow there will be a siege of the Israeli fleet, and there will be no time to sleep at all. ”

The first mate walked over and saw Chen Siping smoking a cigarette in his hand.

It's obviously sleepy, relying on smoking to refresh yourself.

"No!

The marshal is in the fleet, but he doesn't dare to make some mistakes.

Our Youzhou and Yangzhou are in charge of the left flank vigilance, if something really goes wrong, don't want our heads. ”

Chen Siping spit out a puff of cigarette and reluctantly threw the cigarette butt into the sea.

"Get me a cup of coffee, that thing pick-me-up." Chen Siping reflexively walked back into the cabin.

I was a little sleepy, but I ran outside to smoke a cigarette and freeze it, but now I feel much better.

The orderly came in with a cup of coffee!

After a steaming cup of coffee, the sleepy bug was thrown out of the clouds at once.

Coffee has now become a must-have on warships.

Every night after 10 o'clock, an unlimited supply will be provided to the night watchers.

I have to admit that drinking this stuff in the evening is really refreshing.

In fact, Chen Siping didn't believe that someone dared to attack the huge Ming naval fleet.

You know, there are two aircraft carriers and four battleships in this fleet.

Destroyers and cruisers combined, there were more than thirty of them.

A warship of this magnitude sailing out of the Mediterranean can dominate the world.

Those who dare to fight the idea of this fleet generally die ugly.

One night was painful and long, Chen Siping felt that a hundred years had passed, but looking at his pocket watch, only two hours had passed.

3:25 a.m.!

The bean sprout-like moon was hiding somewhere, the sea was pitch black, and the ships seemed to sail in thick ink.

Even the lookout standing on the watchtower could only see six or seven kilometers away.

The darkness before dawn is really fucking black.

Chen Siping walked out of the command cabin again, and there was only one cigarette left in the shriveled cigarette case.

I took out a match and lit the cigarette in my mouth!

They are all old navy, and striking matches against the sea breeze is the basic quality of a smoker.

As soon as he took two puffs of cigarette, Chen Siping's eyes straightened.

The silhouette of a ship seems to have appeared on the surface of the sea!

Some of them look, but I'm not sure, it's too dark.

What made Chen Siping breathe even more was that there was more than one such black silhouette, which seemed to be the appearance of a fleet.

The fleet from the west!

This is absolutely impossible, the Ming fleet should be to the east of itself.

And this fleet?

The wind was very strong, and the ears were full of the sound of "whew" and "whew".

Unable to throw away the cigarette, Chen Siping ran into the Jianqiao command cabin with a cigarette in his mouth for the first time.

Pick up the binoculars on the table in the house and look at the dark shadows on the surface of the inky sea in the distance.

It's a boat!

Definitely a ship!

And there's more than one!

Inside the telescope, Chen Siping saw the navigation lights.

It's about seven or eight kilometers away, or even closer.

The beacon lights seven or eight kilometers away look weaker than the light of fireflies.

"Battle alert! Pull the battle alert. Chen Siping kicked the dozing staff officer to the ground.

The stunned staff officer got up and pulled down the battle alarm.

Almost instantly, the entire Youzhou exploded like a frying pan with water.

The sailors woke up from their beds and went to grab their clothes before they opened their eyes.

At this time, the quality of training on weekdays is reflected.

The Youzhou ship, in just five minutes, changed from a cruising state to a combat state.

"Full rudder! Left!

The speed is thirty, and the front main gun is equipped with flares. At ten o'clock, at a distance of eighty, two rapid fires. ”

Chen Siping nervously gave the order.

They are alert ships, and now we have to figure out where this fleet in front of us came from and how big it is.

Soon, the front main gun made an earth-shattering cannon sound.

Two points of light shot out, and soon the points of light exploded in the air.

Two huge clusters of light appeared in the sky, as if there were suddenly two more suns in the sky.

The battleship ten kilometers away was exposed to Chen Siping's telescope in an instant.

"Fuck me!" Rao was mentally prepared, but the situation in front of him still scared Chen Laohu.

Three battleships appeared in the telescope at the same time, and the star David on the mast was being hunted by the sea breeze.

"Send a report! Tweet!

Coordinates thirty-five, seventy, found the main fleet of the Israeli Navy. ”

Chen Siping's voice changed tone!

Almost a dozen seconds later, two more lights popped out on the surface of the sea.

Inside Chen Siping's telescope, more warships appeared.

This is the Yangzhou, and they also discovered the Israeli fleet that intended to sneak attack.

"Full rudder! Right! Sail at full speed. ”

Chen Siping knew that it was impossible for two destroyers to compete with four battleships.

As soon as the flares are lifted into the air, the Youzhou will be smashed to pieces by Israeli fire.

There was a loud roar from the engine compartment, and the helmsman was smashing the rudder with all his might. At this time, it is necessary to join the main force of the fleet as soon as possible, rather than stumbling with the entire fleet.

"Smack!" There was a boom in the sky above the Youzhou.

Immediately after, a huge ball of light appeared above the head of the Youzhou.

As the light group slowly landed, the figure of the Youzhou also appeared.

"Z move!"

Chen Siping was trembling all over.

He has seen the battleships sold by the Ming to the Israelis, with a 480-millimeter main gun, and a single shell can blow up Youzhou in two.

The commander of the Israeli Navy, Sharon, did not give the Youzhou more chances.

When the calculations showed that the grasshopper-like Ming destroyer was only ten kilometers away, Sharon immediately gave the order to attack.

The King Solomon opened fire first, and the triad of cannons on the fore and aft decks roared with an earth-shattering roar.

None of them had much hope for the first volley, after all, hitting the target with the first salvo was unrealistic.

A huge column of water continued to rise in the air around the Youzhou.

The hull of the Youzhou was violently bumpy, and the 3,000-ton Youzhou was like a small sampan in a storm at this time.

A huge fire suddenly erupted on the sea, which made Chen Siping's heart twitch.

That's when the Yangzhou was hit!

The shells of the battleship's 480-mm guns plunged headlong into the hull of the destroyer.

A huge explosion that directly tore the destroyer in half.

The side chord secondary cannon was blown up more than a hundred meters high.

Before the Yangzhou could even send out a distress signal, it was swallowed up by the frenzied influx of seawater.

The Ming sailors fell into the water like ants.

The Yangzhou sank so fast that within ten minutes the water had already reached the deck.

The sinking of the battleship caused a huge whirlpool, and those Ming sailors who were still struggling in the sea water were ruthlessly dragged to the bottom of the sea by the whirlpool.

"Catch up, follow them and we will be able to find the main force of the Ming fleet.

Hurry, we don't have much time.

As soon as dawn comes, planes will fly over like locusts, and then bombs and torpedoes, will send us to the bottom of the Black Sea to feed the fish. ”

Sharon immediately ordered the fleet to bite the tail of the Youzhou tightly behind.

Li Xiao was awakened in his sleep by the loud sound of an alarm.

"Junko, what's wrong?" Li Xiao shouted, and Junzi immediately pushed in and walked in.

"I heard that the Israeli Navy touched it and was discovered by a vigilant destroyer, and now there is an exchange of fire."

"!" Li Xiao hurriedly came to the command room with clothes on board.

Li Xiu has appeared in the command room in full dress!

Chen Laohu and several staff officers were lying on the chart, holding a ruler and constantly calculating and correcting.

"The Israeli Navy has attacked?"

"Hmm!" Li Xiu nodded.

"The Yangzhou ship has been sunk, and the Youzhou ship is approaching us.

Grandma's! It was too dark for carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier to rise into the air.

The Israelites learned to be shrewd, and they were going to take advantage of the darkness and fight us. ”

Li Xiu looked at the nautical chart, and finally pointed to a place: "It must be this, they went to sea from Odessa."

Damn, I didn't expect the Israelis to play this hand. ”

"Are you sure?" Li Xiao was a little nervous, after all, this was the first time that the two sides had started a naval battle in a situation where they were evenly matched.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty used air superiority to sling the navies of various countries.

"Don't worry, big brother.

There is a war on the ground, and ten of them are not as good as one of you, big brother.

But on the sea, our Ming Navy is this. Li Xiu gave a proud thumbs up.

"According to the No. 1 plan, the fleet marched in columns. Take them out with T-word tactics! ”

The telegraph operator began to frantically send telegrams to convey Li Xiu's orders to the ships.

The entire Daming fleet immediately began to change formations.

The aircraft carriers, which were of little use in close combat, began to break away from the battlefield and sail eastward under the protection of two heavy cruisers.

"At our current speed, we expect to engage the Israeli Navy in half an hour.

The Youzhou ship is rushing to the meeting point with all its might. Chen Laohu's voice came.

"How long is it going to be dawn?"

"Now this season, I'm afraid it won't dawn until after half past five."
