E: I had something yesterday, I'm sorry......

April 1o o'clock 7 o'clock.

Tropical storms come and go quickly, and the weather in the waters off the Diaoyu Islands has improved by this time, and the clouds have dissipated, but the light of the crescent moon is still very dim, and the visibility is not very good. However, this is not a big problem for the Chinese fleet, which has advanced detection instruments such as unmanned exploration vehicles and radar.

As a result of the opening of the "full map", the movements of the Japanese army were completely exposed to the eyes of the Chinese fleet. At this time, the Chinese fleet was transformed into a battle line in the direction of five o'clock in advance, which happened to seize the position of the "D" crosshead of the Japanese fleet. The order of the Chinese battle lines was: Fuxi, Nuwa, Qinling, Taihang, Qingcheng, and Emei. The rest of the light ships all retreated to the front and rear of the battle line, already in a position south of the interior. They can't mix in such things as fighting on the battle line, and their task is to intercept the lightning strikes of the opponent's light ships and act as eyes and ears for the capital ships.

The unmanned exploration vehicles in the sky and the ship's sea-to-sea radar are all engaged in intense detection work, and they are constantly transmitting information about the distance, navigation, and position of the enemy ship to the Chinese fleet, and the "powerful" second-generation transistor computer on the bridge is constantly calculating the calculation of the elements according to these numbers, plus the wind, wind direction, relative course, relative degree, and other relevant parameters.

At this time, the minimum distance between the fleets of the two countries was 2 km. The computer is much faster than a human being, and after the firing parameters were calculated, Commander Gao Yujie immediately issued an order: "All ships in the battle line, start the test firing ......"

At this time, the Japanese fleet also showed its opponent according to the moonlight and the navigation lights of the Chinese fleet, but at this time it was still a little far away, and Yoshimatsu Shigetaro did not order a test launch.

Most of Japan's battleships were old pre-dreadnoughts, and the range of their main guns was far from ideal. The Fuji-class and Shikishima-class are equipped with a 36mm 4o diameter main gun with a maximum elevation angle of 15 degrees and a maximum firing range of 137oo meters. The Katori-class, Satsuma-class battleships and Tsukuba-class armored cruisers were equipped with 36 mm 45 times diameter main guns with a maximum elevation angle of 2 degrees and a maximum range of 226 meters. The Kurama-class armored cruiser was also a 36 mm 45 times diameter main gun, but the elevation angle was only 15 degrees, and the maximum firing range was 183o meters. The latest Hanoi-class dreadnoughts, although they use a better 36mm 6x diameter main gun, have a maximum elevation angle of 2 degrees, and the maximum firing range is only 26o meters.

However, the maximum range is basically inaccurate, and the power is not enough, and it must enter the effective range before it can be started. The effective range of these old naval guns was usually only two-thirds of the maximum range. That is, the effective range of the Japanese fleet was less than 6 kilometers at most, and 6 meters at the shortest. Considering the battle line, it is necessary to enter at least 14 kilometers, the effective distance of most warships, before the test launch can begin, otherwise it is meaningless to reach only two warships.

This can't be said that Japan is brain-dead, and I don't know how to make the range farther. This is true of the former dreadnoughts of all countries, even the number one power, Great Britain. The short range of the main gun is also because the observation and aiming methods at that time were too backward, and the main gun shot was also low, and the probability of hitting the opponent with the main gun was similar to winning the lottery. Therefore, in the pre-dreadnought era, the battleships basically used secondary guns to pinch each other, and the secondary guns used more than the main guns. The main tactic is to use secondary artillery to muddle each other's faces, destroy the opponent's superstructure and turret, wait for the opponent to lose combat effectiveness, and then approach and finally solve the problem with the main gun.

However, with the progress of the times, this tactic became obsolete, and after the appearance of the dreadnought, the secondary artillery tactic was completely ended. However, the emergence of any new technology and new tactic is not immediately accepted, because there is no actual combat test. Although everyone knew at this time that the dreadnought would definitely be more powerful than the previous dreadnought, it was not easy to compare what was so powerful, and even the British, who knew the dreadnought, couldn't say it clearly.

The Japanese are no exception, although they know that the Chinese dreadnoughts must be bunkers, but it is worth thinking about what the bunkers are to. According to the deduction of the Japanese Navy, they believe that the former dreadnoughts and dreadnoughts are definitely not opponents alone, but if two against one can be basically equal, if it is three against one, then it will be won.

According to Japan's plan this time, the two Hanoi-class ships were enough to overwhelm the two Qinling-class, and the remaining Tsukuba-class and Kurama-class, which were dreadnought and equipped with battleship main guns, could deal with the two Fuxi-class. The remaining six armored cruisers were also enough to fight two Qingcheng-class. They also admit that the Fuxi class is very good, but no matter how good it is, it is impossible to defeat six times the number of opponents of the same level, and the pile is also dead.

2 capital ships against a capital ship, or a division of a hundred battles against a group of rookies, the Japanese did not think that this could not be won. The Japanese Navy conducted many sand table exercises, and the largest loss was only at the cost of sinking six battleships and two heavy losses, and completely annihilating six Chinese capital ships. According to the combined fleet commander, Shigetaro Yoshimatsu himself, three or four capital ships could be paid.

Of course, we all know that the so-called "deduction" of the Japanese is very subjective. "The Imperial Japanese Army is invincible and invincible" This is a prerequisite, this is the political correctness, and those who dare to raise objections will only be matched. Whether it is Japan's 6th Army or the Navy, when they make plans, they consider very ideal conditions. That is, wishful thinking that the enemy should and must follow their plan.

If you follow the rules of Japan, there is nothing wrong with the results of these deductions. But this must be based on the fact that the Chinese fleet must be in their effective range, and then fight hard against a bunch of their capital ships. But what obligation does the Chinese fleet have to follow their rules?

Our ships are much faster and have a much longer range than yours, so why should we sail our ships to your range before we start fighting? Why can't we take advantage of our speed and long range and tie one hand to fight?

Gao Yujie's IQ is very normal, of course he will not be stupid about tying one hand and fighting the enemy, he commands this battle according to the thinking of normal people.

Therefore, he relied on the advantages of long range and fast voyage to line up the battle line in advance, and at the same time began to test fire outside the range of the Japanese fleet.

o point 9 points.

"Boom, boom...... Boom, boom, boom, boom ......"China's six capital ships fired one test projectile in turn.

A staff officer said: "Your Excellency, the people of China have begun to test fire artillery ......"

The Japanese have just appeared, the ideal is very full, the reality is very skinny, and the cunning Chinese actually do not play their cards according to the card, why don't they run closer to bombard? This is really hateful

Shigetaro Yoshimatsu kept a straight face and didn't squeak.

Chief of Staff Tetsutaro Sato reported: "The lookout reports that the Shina people have formed a battle line, exactly at the crosshead of our army...... Our army should turn around immediately, otherwise it will be too much of a loss......"

Yoshimatsu Shigetaro nodded and ordered: "Well, order each ship to turn thirty degrees to the left, and the degree is raised to 17 knots, and the oblique assault ......"

Ji Song is also an old navy, of course, he will not be stupid enough to rush the opponent's horizontal position, he is ready to insert in front of the Chinese fleet, even if he can't grab the horizontal position, at least he can become a parallel line position in the same direction, so that he can enter the stage of evaluating firepower and bombardment. According to Shigetaro Yoshimatsu's calculations, once the two sides entered this stage, the Japanese combined fleet, which had absolute numerical superiority, would win.

"Boom...... Boom...... The 6 shells that fell from the "boom ......" were about 3o meters away from the nearest Japanese ship, and they were already terrifying at the time of the test firing.

"How is it possible? Just a test launch is so accurate?" The staff officers of the Combined Fleet froze.

"Boom Boom" O point 1o, the 6 shells of the second round of test firing came again. This time, it was only less than 1oo meters away from the nearest Japanese ship

At this moment, even Yoshimatsu Shigetaro, who has always been calm, is a little anxious.

"It's luck," Tetsutaro Sato said with a dark face.

o 11 o'clock, "boom boom boom...... Boom Boom Boom Boom ......" At this time, the Japanese officers and soldiers saw that the two main guns of the six capital ships of China were firing in turns. Intense muzzle fireworks lit up in the night sky one after another, illuminating the six huge capital ships clearly.

"Baga, the people of China are starting to shoot now, do they understand naval warfare," a staff officer shouted through gritted teeth.

At this time, the fleets of both sides were closest to 2 km. Although it has entered the maximum range of the Hanoi class, it is basically impossible to hit the shelling at this distance.

"Four near-misses have formed a straddle shot at the Satsuma, which is in first place," the Fuxi's fire controller reported.

The Japanese fleet is still a double column, and the left column is armored cruisers, in order: Kurama, Ibuki, Tsukuba, Ikoma, Kasuga, Hisami, Izumo, Iwate, Azuma, Yakumo. The column on the right was the battleships, in order: Satsuma, Yasui, Kawachi, Settsu, Katori, Kashima, Shikishima, Asahi, Mikasa, and Fuji.

At present, the Fuxi, Nuwa, and Qinling of the Chinese Pacific Fleet are aimed at the Satsuma, while the Taihang, Qingcheng, and Emei are aimed at the Kurama. Because the main guns of Qingcheng and Emei are only 24o mm, although their armor thickness can barely be lined up in the battle line, if the target is a battleship, it is not powerful enough.

"Continue to fire a salvo......" Gao Yujie gave an order unhurriedly: "Order all ships, when the Japanese ships are close to 18 kilometers, the battle line will immediately turn and retreat on the spot, stretch the distance to 2 kilometers, and then line up to attack in a battle line...... Free fire during retreat......"

That's right, Gao Yujie is preparing to "fly a kite" this time, taking advantage of the range of the degree to slowly grind the Japanese to death. When the number of battleships was at an absolute disadvantage, it was stupid to resist the Japanese fleet.

At 2 o'clock, the Chinese fleet fired a second salvo, and this time the Satsuma was hit. A 3o mm shell hit the upper part of the foremast, blowing it off the upper part of the bridge, destroying the main rangefinder and lookout. This shot destroyed half of the Satsuma, and without the rangefinder and lookout room, the gunner had to aim on his own.
