The sea is pitch black, and even with a telescope, visibility is only a few kilometers.

Li Xiao misses something called shipborne radar very much!

Unfortunately, this year is not yet.

It seems that the course of the Ming military industry still has a long way to go.

The fleets of both sides were advancing in the dark, and nearly a hundred of the most powerful warships of this era played hide and seek on the dark Black Sea.

The Israeli Navy pursued the destroyer Youzhou, and Netanyahu did not want to sink the Youzhou.

He decided that the destroyer would flee to his own fleet for protection.

As long as you chase this destroyer, you will definitely find the main force of the Ming fleet.

If it weren't for Netanyahu's orders, all ten Youzhou would have been driven to the bottom of the sea.

Li Xiu stood in front of the chart, constantly watching the staff officers calculate the distance between the two fleets.

Now this is the only advantage, the Israeli fleet is chasing the Youzhou.

Through the Youzhou, the Ming fleet indirectly knew the location of the Israeli fleet.

The Ming fleet completed the formation and lined up in a straight line, with the bow connected to the stern.

Li Xiao didn't speak, just watched silently.

This naval battle is really different from land warfare, and you don't have to think much about the terrain at all.

Deep in the sea, there are no shoals and reefs.

Although he didn't know much about naval tactics, Li Xiao still knew the tactics that Li Xiu was using now.

T-prefix tactics!

The so-called T-shaped tactic is the time of battle.

Line up your fleet in a straight line and face the enemy front with side-firing fire.

This tactic maximizes fleet firepower, while the enemy fleet can only use the fire of the front main guns.

In terms of firepower density, it suffered a big loss!

"There are still twenty kilometers to go, and we are about to reach the engagement distance." Chen Laohu raised his head and looked at Li Xiu.

"Prepare for battle, the enemy ships are ten kilometers away, and the whole fleet fires a salvo.

Next, free fire!

The rise and fall of the Ming Navy in this battle, all the kings work hard! ”

There was a solemnity on the Kunlun Mountain!

Li Xiao didn't speak, but just raised the telescope in his hand.

All the muzzles of the fleet were pointed at the place where the Israeli fleet was about to appear.

Li Xiu didn't speak, and neither did others.

A hazy figure appeared in the telescope, it was the Youzhou.

Along the way, the Youzhou is constantly reporting its location. This allowed the Ming fleet to adjust its formation and speed to face the Israeli fleet in the best condition.

The air in the command module of the Kunlun Mountain was almost frozen, and everyone could clearly hear their heartbeat.

"Azimuth eleven, distance twelve kilometers." Chen Laohu's voice sounded loudly.

"Azimuth eleven, distance eleven kilometers."

"Direction eleven, ten kilometers away."

Chen Laohu's voice echoed in the command cabin, but Li Xiu didn't make the slightest movement.

With a telescope in his hand, he quietly looked at the sea.

The figure of the Israeli fleet changed from a black dot to a vague ship, and from the shape of the ship grew out of the muzzles of various calibers.

"Ten o'clock, nine kilometers away!"

"Hit!"

Li Xiu's voice sounded like thunder, only a few seconds later. The sound of earth-shattering cannons sounded on the sea!

In the darkness, the muzzle of the cannon flashed orange-red light.

The scorching shells, propelled by the gunpowder, flew out of the chamber.

At the same time, the Israeli fleet had just calculated the shooting elements.

Before the word fire came out of Netanyahu's mouth, the Ming army's shells were already overwhelming.

The Ming army was side-fired, and almost all caliber guns on the side of the ship were able to open fire.

Especially the battleships, from one hundred and twenty mm to four hundred and eighty mm, more than thirty guns, large and small, were fired together.

The huge kinetic energy even made the battleship under sail slide sideways for tens of meters.

"Boom!" A 120-millimeter shell was smashing into the turret of the main gun in front of the King David.

A burst of orange flames exploded, and several pieces of shrapnel flew towards the huge glass of the command module with a whistle.

"Click!" The shrapnel hit the heavy glass, and although it was bounced off by the heavy glass, the thick glass already had a huge crack.

Netanyahu watched in horror as the two cracks were rapidly expanding, and finally the two cracks were coming together.

"Get out of the way!"

But at this time, it was too late to dodge, and Netanyahu clearly saw that the two staff officers were smashed to the ground by huge shards of glass.

Beads of blood burst onto Netanyahu's face, hot.

"Fire!"

In fact, there was no longer any need for his orders, and the ships had already fired back.

The Ming army fired side-fire, and the guns on the side of the ship were all capable of firing.

The Israeli army suffered too much loss, they were pursuing the Youzhou, and the direction of the bow of the ship was facing the Ming fleet.

They can only fire the main guns on the front of the battleship.

This is the magic of the T-shaped tactics, and the fleet that occupies the T-shaped prefix can gain a very large advantage.

The density of firepower of the Ming army was high, and the Israeli fleet naturally suffered many blows.

Just the first salvo, more than thirty percent of the battleships of the Israeli Navy were hit by artillery.

Two of the unlucky destroyers were hit by the 380-millimeter shells on the Ming cruisers.

The huge explosion directly shredded the entire bow of the ship, and the twenty-ton main turret was directly lifted dozens of meters high.

Although the battered battleship was still floating on the sea, the sea water had already rushed in frantically, and it was only a matter of time before it sank.

Several battleships were also shot on the side of the Ming army, and even a heavy cruiser was hit by 210-mm shells.

The heavy cruiser's armor was much thicker than that of the destroyer, and although there was a huge hole in the aft deck, the rear main gun was almost scrapped, and the battleship was able to maintain a speed of twenty knots after the watertight compartment was closed.

The salvo was followed by free fire!

At this time, the benefits of a 120-mm gun are manifested, and the small reload of shells is fast.

In particular, the 120-millimeter guns equipped by the navy are rapid-fire guns specially assigned to the navy.

The distance of nine kilometers is simply the most suitable attack distance for a hundred and twenty mm artillery.

Shells rained down densely, and more than a dozen warships of the Israeli Navy were shot.

It's just a pity that the explosion power of a 120-mm gun is really limited.

Hitting a destroyer can also deal some damage, and hitting a cruiser is much less damage.

Hit those rough-skinned battleships, people just think it's an itch.

There were even a few shells that hit the bow turret and flew out directly by the heavy armor of the bow turret.

However, things are always good and bad, and the flying shells did not cause much damage.

The shells that exploded in the air, but caused no small damage to the exposed personnel and equipment on the deck.

The glass of the operational command compartments on the King David and King Solomon was shattered by shrapnel several pieces.

The icy sea breeze blew in, and people shivered with cold.

"Left Rudder Ten!" Li Xiu put down the binoculars and gave the order.

There are many follow-up variants of the T-shaped tactic, and Li Xiu chose a more classic style of play.

The long snake formation quickly outflanked the enemy's right flank, so that because of the formation problem.

The enemy can only fire at the outermost warship of the Ming army, and the battleship located in the distance will not have enough range due to the blocking of its own battleship.

If you force fire, it is easy to cause accidental injury.

On the side of the Ming army, because they are still facing the enemy warships from the side, they can still maximize their firepower.

At this time, more than a dozen warships had been shot and caught fire on the sea, both the Ming army and the Israeli army.

Such an important target, naturally, is the shell suction device.

Shells could be seen flying one after another towards the warship that was on fire.

Then the fire on the battleship could be seen, and even the sailors could be seen lowering their lifeboats, and the silhouette of them being blown away by the explosion.

Li Xiu glanced at the wall clock on the bulkhead, 4:48.

It's not five o'clock yet, and it's still a long way before sunrise.

"Boom!" There was a huge explosion, and the people in the command cabin staggered.

Everyone looked over in shock!

Almost three kilometers behind Kunlun Mountain, a huge fireball rose on the sea.

The fragments of the battleship were scattered and scattered, and many of them hit the foredeck of the Kunlun Mountain.

"Guangzhou! It was the cruiser Canton. Chen Laohu said with a glare.

The Guangzhou was the first cruiser of the Ming Dynasty, and it was already eleven years old.

Although the coal-fired boiler has been renovated, the speed is still somewhat insufficient. On weekdays, formations can only sail at the rear of the fleet.

Just now, the Guangzhou received two 210-mm shells, and although it did not sink, its speed also dropped to more than a dozen knots.

Due to the slow speed, several 120-mm shells were fired, and the fore and aft decks were set on fire.

There is such an obvious target in the dark, and the Israeli Navy, of course, will not let go.

The cannons and small cannons bombarded the Canton, and a 480-millimeter battleship main gun shell drilled into the power compartment.

The huge explosion directly tore the Guangzhou in half.

Numerous sailors did not even have the opportunity to jump into the sea, as the battleship was swallowed by the raging sea.

The sailors who dived were even worse, and the sea temperature at this time was only a few degrees.

At this temperature, people quickly lose temperature. In just three to five minutes, the person will be convulsed from the cold and drown.

The Canton was a cruiser with more than 300 crew members on board.

Li Xiu's face was ugly, he pouted and didn't speak, just glanced at the sinking Guangzhou.

With such dense firepower, he failed to take out the enemy battleship, but he sank a cruiser first.

On the side of the Israeli fleet, they cheered when they saw that the Daming warship had been sunk.

Judging by the size of the battleship, this is at least a cruiser.

Who said that a blind cat can't touch a dead mouse, and he can do a cruiser of the Shen Ming Army by touching the black.

Chen Siping commanded the Youzhou and successfully escaped from the combat zone!

When the Ming fleet had just opened fire, Chen Siping was extremely frightened.

Because at that time he was in the middle of the two sides, that is, he could have been hit by an Israeli shell, or he could have been hit by a Ming shell.

In the dark, who the fuck knows whose cannonball hit him.

Even if he is sent to the bottom of the sea to be a ghost, it is a fucking mess.

It was also his chicken thief who did not turn the rudder, but rushed straight towards the Ming fleet.

This greatly reduced the hull area, and in the rain of shelling, the Youzhou was not hit by any shells.

It's nothing short of a miracle!

After approaching the Ming fleet, Chen Siping sailed in the opposite direction of the Ming fleet with a left full rudder.

When the Israeli fleet adjusted its formation, the position of the Youzhou ship actually ran to the rear of the Israeli fleet.

It was very dark, and the Israelis did not expect that there was a Ming destroyer behind the side of their fleet.

Many Israelis still think that this is because of the change of formation, and their own people who were thrown out.

Chen Siping didn't fire either, but accelerated the speed like a shark.

"Captain, there's a big one ahead, and it looks like it's at least a cruiser. Let's shoot! ”

"You're all fucking shit in your head?

Just your 120mm gun, can you gnaw at other people's armor?

Bastard, after the battle, Lao Tzu will clean you up. ”

As soon as the gun commander asked for instructions, he was scolded by Chen Siping for a dog blood sprinkler.

If it weren't for the phone talking, he would have wanted to kick the bastard a few times.

Under his own command, how can there be such tamping goods.

The gun commander did not dare to speak anymore, and a hundred and twenty mm shells really could not gnaw at the armor of the cruiser.

And the battleship seemed to be bigger than the cruiser, maybe even a battleship.

One hundred and twenty mm guns, rationed only for battleships tickling.

"Keep up with the big ship at full speed, and no one is allowed to fire if not. Violators are shot on the spot! ”

Chen Siping was ruthless, this is a good opportunity to make contributions.

It's closer, it's closer.

In the dark, the Youzhou was like a ghost, and it actually touched a distance of eight hundred meters from the big ship.

"Torpedo ready!" Chen Siping's excited eyes lit up.

"The torpedo is ready." The gunner replied carefully, he had not forgotten his own stupidity just now.

"Torpedoes No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 are fired in a salvo, and torpedoes No. 4, 5, and 6 are on standby."

It should also be the bad luck of the Israeli army, the Youzhou, which is only two years old, is equipped with six torpedo tubes for the first time.

As long as he gets close, it will be a nightmare for any warship.

"Brethren, the opportunity has come to get promoted and make a fortune.

Launch! The gunners excitedly ordered.

With a few soft sounds, three torpedoes were fired into the water.

It was too dark to see the torpedo trail at all.

Everyone held their breath and looked nervously at the huge battleship that was only eight hundred meters away.

Eight hundred meters, the torpedo did not sail for long.

"Boom!" The six hundred kilogram warhead of the heavy torpedo exploded below the waterline.

"Boom!" Another explosion.

Two of the three torpedoes hit, which is already a good result.

Seeing the giant ship on fire, Chen Siping was so excited that he almost jumped to his feet.

"Fourth, fifth, and sixth shots, be sure to send him to Lao Tzu into the sea." Chen Siping shouted excitedly.

The gun chief was about to reshoot when a muffled explosion suddenly sounded from the sea in the distance.

It must be the torpedo that flew away and hit the battleship again.

Pray to God and worship Buddha, don't be your own warship.

So close, it shouldn't be your own battleship!

Chen Siping was a little apprehensive in his heart, the torpedo had never been sold at all. If you are hit by a torpedo, you must have been hit by your own people.
