My battleship is stronger than yours

In the battle command room of the Japanese Empire, the group of standing straight chiefs of staff were watching the battle briefing with eyes wide open. Originally, they didn't take the raid in the southern seas seriously. Then Battles involving more and less food are rarely written into combat records. Their focus is more on the northern battlefield. Originally, in their plan, the northern battlefield had already been fought, and there were still zero casualties. They won it successfully, but now, it's not what they thought at all.

When it comes to their plan, the young combat staff next to them all really couldn't tell the truth. The original combat plan they proposed cannot be said to be a zero-casualty crushing, but with the help of powerful steam-armored battleships and sailing ships, it was slightly better than sailing ships. With such maneuvers, it is possible to achieve a complete victory with the least casualties.

But when they submitted their combat plan, they were completely rejected by these old guys. Then these old guys started customizing the battle plan. It would be wrong to say that these old guys were just customizing the old battle plan. Forget it, the worst thing is that the battle will take a little longer and the casualties will be slightly more, but they are not like this. From the beginning, they not only command their own fleet, but also command the opponent's fleet. Not only do they have to command the opponent's fleet, but also the opponent's fleet. To conduct deductions, just follow their unrealistic plan, and any young staff officer can easily crack it.

But do you dare to crack it? I'm sorry, but every minute a big hat is slapped on someone who doesn't respect the superior and can't figure out his position. It's okay to get a slap. What's worse, he will be dragged away by the gendarmerie and given a whip. The young staff officers didn't dare to bring up good tactics, so they just cooperated with the old guys and arranged the opponent's tactics according to their ideas.

In terms of tactics, it is impossible for a large fleet to enter narrow reefs and archipelago areas. No one with any brains would do this. However, in the tactics of those old chiefs of staff, the opponent's large fleet must penetrate the archipelago. Run away from the reef, and after entering these sea areas, you cannot fight back. You must first go all out to get out of this sea area. During this period, the fleet of the Japanese Empire will deal the greatest blow to the opponent. This is what lays the foundation for the tactical victory of these old guys. Basics, and those small groups of warships that ran out were not good either. The warships on the Japanese Empire's side instantly turned into speedboats, quickly outflanking the small group behind and defeating the enemy at a speed of more than 480 kilometers per hour. The final victory will only be achieved when the enemy has no power to fight back. This is what they call a complete victory with zero casualties.

Not only that, they also have to control the weather, because during pre-war reconnaissance, it was predicted that the sea area where the naval battle would take place was cloudy, so these old guys confidently believed that before the battle, the Second Fleet of the Hualong Empire would encounter a huge attack. There was a storm, but until the battle entered a fierce stage, the huge storm never arrived. On the contrary, the weather in that sea area was very good to the naked eye, and it felt dazzling even if you raised your head slightly.

And their preset assumption that the second fleet would dive into the reefs and archipelago waters did not happen. Even the second fleet was far away from that sea area. The Japanese Empire originally maintained a formation of quickly approaching and quickly outflanking. They were immediately outflanked and turned into a pot of raw rice.

On the other hand, the Second Fleet, although there was a gap in battleships and speed, it had a tactical advantage and was caught off guard, which directly disrupted the entire battlefield. The old chief of staff was already angry. He had just received new news that all the attacking fleets from the south had been sent away. After receiving this news, two old guys fainted on the spot because of their heart failure. When he was carried on the stretcher, his legs kicked twice.

It is only a matter of time before the South loses and the North is flattened and rounded. The shells of those old-fashioned steam-armored battleships are actually quite fatal if they are hit by solid iron bullets. Especially this time, they are shot at close range. Most of them are shot by one shot. Smashing a big hole will not cause a secondary explosion inside, but the degree of damage to the ship's hull will be unprecedentedly high, and not only that, once the sailing battleship gets close to you, the most frightening thing is the terrifying amount of projection. All the naval guns on the side were fired once, and those armored warships were as if they had been passed through a sieve, and the hulls from beginning to end were smashed and deformed.

Most of the cannons, sails, and battleships here have over-piercing holes. Although on the surface, the wooden hulls appear to be full of holes, the real damage is actually not great. This is a close-quarters battle. , the gap between the two sides has narrowed a lot. The commander of the Second Fleet also knows that once the distance is widened, their wooden frame will definitely suffer, so he specially arranged a group of shield ships and impact ships on the periphery of the battlefield, which one If the Japanese warships dare to leave the battlefield, he will definitely experience the power of the bumper boats.

Kua La Deng looked at the battlefield in the north and was a little dazed. This battle situation was really beyond his expectation. He was puzzled that the Japanese fleet could fight like this. Of course, he didn't know about the Japanese navy. It was a mysterious operation, but he still rushed to the north with all his strength, but the distance was too far, and he really couldn't catch up for a while. But at this moment, his communication block suddenly lit up.

When he connected to the communication block, Tang Xin's voice came from inside, "Report to Crown Prince Kuai that the first combat unit of our Seventh Fleet has arrived at the periphery of the battlefield and can quickly reinforce the Second Fleet. Please give instructions." Kuai Ladeng The time did not come back, and he thought for a while before asking, "Have you formed combat effectiveness?" Tang Xin said confidently, "The two hundred new warships of the first detachment have formed combat effectiveness and can be put into battle." Kuila Deng shouted excitedly, "That's great! Remember! Save yourself as much as possible and eliminate as many enemies as possible. This is your first battle. I wish you good luck in martial arts."

After saying that, Kuala Lantern turned off the communication block, and then searched for this fleet through the satellite. Finally, a small fleet of 200 warships sailed out of a civilian port not far from the Second Fleet Military Port, pulling Looking into the camera, the warships in that fleet were just a little better-looking than the steam armored warships of the Japanese Empire, but not many. Kuala Deng looked back at Han Shi. Han Shi looked at the screen and was proud. Nodding, "Yes! Those are the ones."

Although those new warships are still ridiculously slow in Kuala Deng's eyes, it is indeed easy to see that they are much faster than those warships of the Japanese Empire. The warships of the first detachment are not as fast. Instead of entering the battlefield, they acted as the sixth one on the periphery. They focused on attacking the Japanese warships that were far away from the center of the battlefield and could escape at any time. Their main guns were stronger than those of the Japanese Empire. The water cannons surrounding the battleship's hull are much more powerful. A new battleship's salvo fires out eight shells, and it can hit three to five, but only these three to five. , it can directly kill the Japanese Empire battleship.

Some Japanese warships simply suffered a round, some had their internal steam engines explode directly, some had their ammunition compartments exploded, and some directly caused fires. When the new warships from both sides met, which one would The advantages and disadvantages can be seen at once. The main turrets on the Japanese Empire battleships are not arranged along the central axis, so the range of fire is quite limited, and they often get stuck while turning, and the rotation speed is very special. 's slow.

The main turrets of the battleships of the first detachment here have already begun to take aim, and the small turrets of the Japanese Empire battleships are still whirring around over there, so it is easy to imagine which side will be beaten. There was a large group of Second Fleet warships nearby who took the opportunity to reach out. The situation that was just a minor disadvantage suddenly became irreversible. When they realized that they could not defeat them and prepared to break through the encirclement and escape, they found that it was already too late.

When this situation occurred, the commander of the Japanese Imperial Fleet was so angry that he threw his hat on the ground. He couldn't help but stomped his feet. Then he took out his saber, walked to the deck, and pointed at it. In the direction of the second fleet, he held up the communication cube and shouted, "What a black card! Onboard!" After he shouted this, all the Japanese warships, regardless of whether they were injured or not, followed him. As if they were bleeding, they all started to increase their power and rush towards the battleships of the second fleet. It looked like they were about to collide with the battleships of the second fleet.

The warships of the second fleet really didn't react at first. Many warships were knocked out of a big hole by the Japanese warships because they couldn't dodge, and some smaller warships were directly broken. Well, when the battleships of the first detachment saw this situation, they even tried their best to deal with it. Many Japanese warships just started to speed up, but they took a round on the side and were directly scrapped. But after all, the number of battleships of the first detachment was Not much, and the reloading time was really a flaw, so even if they tried their best to output, those Japanese warships still caused some losses to the Second Fleet for a while.

But at this moment, the shield ships and impact ships that were originally on the periphery suddenly moved into the core of the battlefield without anyone noticing. The Japanese warships that originally wanted to collide with other warships directly They were deflected by shield ships or impact ships that rushed over from the side. Some of the Japanese warships were already riddled with holes before the collision order was given. This time, the impact directly left them covered with holes. The armored ships were cracked or even broken by collisions, and some of them tilted to a certain extent because of the fierce fighting, causing them to capsize directly after a collision.

In the end, less than a hundred Japanese warships withdrew from the battlefield. The warships of the Second Navy were too seriously damaged and had no ability to pursue them. The first squadron turned around the moment the battle ended. , withdrew directly from the battlefield. This battle ended with the disastrous victory of the Hualong Empire's Second Fleet. Tang Xin was so happy to see that the new warships could unleash such a powerful combat effectiveness that Ban Ya was even bigger than usual. He even He is imagining what kind of existence his Seventh Mobile Fleet will be like after all members of the Seventh Mobile Fleet are redressed. Will he also have a place in the navy in the future?

As for the commander of the remaining fleet of the defeated Japanese Empire, he was lucky enough to survive. Looking at the battleship that had returned with all its crew injured, he was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe. He even wanted to kill himself with a knife, but God. He was not given this chance. The storm originally predicted by the Japanese naval staff did not appear in the battle waters. However, on their way back, the sky suddenly became dense with dark clouds, thunder and lightning, huge waves, and heavy rain. It was pouring, and two hours later, on the original return route, there was only an officer's hat floating on the sea with shoe prints on it.
