Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

"Order all ships to turn towards the enemy! Seize the T!" Togo Heihachiro picked up the telescope and observed the direction of the combined fleet.

He discovered that the combined fleet was moving from the northeast to the southwest at this time, so Togo Heihachiro decisively issued an order to have the Sakura Kingdom fleet collectively turn to the left, trying to put the Sakura Kingdom fleet in front of the combined fleet before it arrived. .

In this case, even if they grab the T-head, they can maximize the firepower of the entire fleet.

Togo Heihachiro predicts that if the combined fleet does not make changes, they will [-]% be able to seize the T prefix.

But since the commander of the combined fleet, Lieutenant General Roger Stevinsky, can sit in the position of commander of the fleet, he will naturally not be a commander who knows nothing.

He could see that the Sakura Kingdom's fleet was faster than his own. It was almost impossible for them to grab the "T" before the Sakura Kingdom's fleet.

Therefore, Lieutenant General Roger Stevinsky also ordered the fleet to turn.

Anyway, snatching the T prefix is ​​not like in the sailing era, where there is only one outlet.

The T prefix is ​​actually easy to understand. It is two fleets, one lying directly in front of the other fleet. The opponent can only attack with the main gun on the bow or stern.

In this way, you can greatly limit the opponent's firepower and maximize your own firepower.

Therefore, there are actually two T prefixes, one is the bow, and the other is the T prefix at the stern.

Now that the Sakura Kingdom wants to seize the T prefix on the bow of the United Fleet, Roger Stevinsky will naturally not comply with Togo Heihachiro's wish.

He immediately ordered the combined fleet to turn around and grab the T-shaped tail of the Sakura Kingdom fleet.

As a result, the combined fleet turned directly from the original northeast direction to due south.

When Togo Heihachiro saw that Lieutenant General Roger Stevinsky had seen through his plan, he did not panic. If it is so easy for him to grab the T-prefix, then Lieutenant General Roger Stevinsky is not worthy of being the commander of the Combined Fleet.

"Order all ships to continue the sharp turn and turn northeast! Launch a bombardment with the enemy!" Togo Heihachiro ordered to Kawahara Yoichi behind him.

Togo Heihachiro thought very clearly. Since there was no way to snatch the T prefix, he would just circle the sea with the combined fleet.

He wanted to take advantage of the rapid-fire guns on his fleet's side and weaken the combined fleet's strength as much as possible.

When the combined fleet is unable to cope, it is time for him to launch a fatal blow.

As a result, two huge fleets drew circles on the Sakura Sea.

At this time, both sides were in a sideways state, and both were able to maximize their firepower advantage. In this way, the two sides launched an artillery bombardment at a distance of 6000 meters.

Since the United Fleet warships all have large-caliber artillery, their rate of fire is lower than that of the Sakura Kingdom Navy.

But one characteristic of such a naval gun is that as long as it hits the target, it will definitely cause huge damage to the target.

The Sakura Navy is just the opposite. Their naval guns mainly use rapid-fire guns. Small caliber, but fast rate of fire. It is almost possible for the United Fleet to fire one round, and the Sakura Navy can fire two to three rounds. It can even do four rounds!

Such a rate of fire can be said to be terrifying.

But the disadvantage is that it has a fast rate of fire and good control, and it can completely scrape it to death.

Commanders on both sides understand the strengths and weaknesses of their own and enemy fleets.

Therefore, Lieutenant General Roger Stevinsky wanted to increase the distance between the two sides, so that he could exert the power of his artillery.

Togo Heihachiro, on the other hand, wanted to close the distance and use his fast rate of fire to kill a large number of enemy troops.

"Kawahara-kun! Order the Izumo and Asama to rush through the blockade and attack the enemy's flagship! Order the Akitsusu and Sankei to attack the enemy's flagship from the left and right sides to attract the enemy's firepower!"

"Order to use Yashima as the flagship of the squadron, with Chiyoda, Fuso, and Hashidate as the main force, to establish the first squadron, and ask them to separate the enemy's flagship, Prince Suvorov, from other battleships. come out!"

"Let's concentrate our firepower first and sink the Duke Suvorov!" Togo Heihachiro looked at the situation at the scene and immediately ordered to Kawahara Yoichi.

"Hi!" Heyuan Yaoyi responded quickly and ran to convey Togo Heihachiro's order.

It has to be said that the execution ability of Sakura Kingdom's navy is very high, definitely higher than that of Rakshasa Kingdom.

After receiving the order from Togo Heihachiro.

The Izumo and Asama increased their power and rushed towards Duke Suvorov.

The Akitsusu and Sankei, one on the left and one on the right, began to launch bombardments around Duke Suvorov in the hope of covering the Izumo and Asama.

At the same time, the armored cruiser Yashima quickly merged with Chiyoda, Fuso, and Hashidate, with Yashima as the tip of the knife, and Chiyoda, Fuso, and Hashidate followed closely, cooperating with 8 torpedoes at the same time. The destroyer rushed towards the middle of the Baltic Fleet.

In an attempt to cut through the Baltic Fleet head-on, their flagship Prince Suvorov was cut off from their main force.

Lieutenant General Roger Stevinsky saw the actions of the Sakura Kingdom Navy and immediately guessed what they were thinking.

Therefore, Lieutenant General Roger Stevinsky quickly asked the battleships Borodino and Eagle to rescue him. At the same time, he also established a squadron and let the battleship Sisoy-Veliki serve as the flagship of the squadron.

In an attempt to use the powerful firepower of the three battleships to defeat the Izumo, Asama, Akitsusu and Sankei of the Sakura Kingdom Navy first.

Lieutenant General Roger Stevinsky knew very well that this was his opportunity. If he could sink these four warships first, then his Baltic Fleet would definitely be able to win.

After the Sakura Empire Navy lost four battleships, it had no choice but to lose.

At this time, all tactics and command have lost their effect. The only thing that can play a decisive role is the on-the-spot performance and willpower of the soldiers on both sides.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the Baltic Sea flagship Prince Suvorov and the battleship Borodino had narrowed the distance from Izumo and Asama to 3000 meters.

At this time, no matter who hits the opponent first, they can cause very serious damage to the opponent.

The Izumo and Asama took the lead in launching an attack on the Duke Suvorov with their high-speed fire. A total of 12 rapid-fire cannons aimed at the deck and superstructure of the Duke Suvorov and launched a bombardment.

The captains of the Izumo and Asama knew very well that their naval guns were not powerful enough to penetrate the side armor of the Prince Suvorov, so they aimed their naval guns directly at their superstructure.

As long as they can suppress their sailors and prevent them from operating the naval guns normally, then it will be equivalent to abolishing the Duke Suvorov.
