Invincible Base of Anti-japanese War

At 12:20 in the morning, after the two navies exchanged fire for three hours, Abraham's face had become very pale. During the three-hour battle, let alone how many fighters the John Bull Air Force lost, the John Bull Air Force alone Each of the four battleships was wounded. Among them, the battleship Revenge had only two turrets left to fire, and the remaining two turrets had been destroyed. The Elizabeth was also the same. The situation, and the most troublesome thing is that the two warships have been flooded, which reduced their speed from only about 22 knots to about 15 knots.

Looking at the heavy losses of destroyers and cruisers around him, Abraham knew very well that if he continued to fight, the newly formed Far East Fleet would probably become a deep-sea fleet. command issued.

Chapter 249: Battle at Sea (final)

The battle on the sea became more and more fierce. The raging flames of war continued to burn and filled the sky with gunpowder smoke, making the entire battlefield shrouded in the diffuse gunpowder smoke.

At this time, Abraham has become a little weak. He thought that he might lose this battle, but he didn't expect to lose so completely.

"The Malaya and the Royal Oak are preparing to retreat, the Revenge, the Elizabeth and the more seriously injured warships stop the Chinese and cover the retreat of the remaining fleet." Abraham tremblingly issued this one, which made him feel very moved After the humiliating order, Abraham was paralyzed - limp on his chair.

"Understood, Commander." Armstrong, the adjutant on the other side, also said tremblingly. Such a result was definitely a heavy blow to him, but now Armstrong also knows that it is absolutely best to deal with this situation. Wise choice.

After all, the battleships Revenge and Elizabeth have entered the water, and their speed is far behind that of the Royal Oak and Malaya, let alone on par with the Chinese battleships.

The action speed of John Bull's navy in all aspects is quite fast. After Abraham Khan's order was issued, the entire John Bull fleet began to move.

The entire huge fleet was divided into two, and the two heavily injured battleships sailed directly towards the direction of the South China Sea Fleet, while the other two lightly injured battleships began to turn west and planned to retreat.

At this time, Hong Shichang, who was staying in his command cabin, watched the actions of the John Bull Navy in the distance, and immediately knew what they wanted to do.

"Haha, this group of John Bulls can't hold on anymore. They are planning to retreat. Prepare to keep them all here as much as possible. Let's fight to settle the South China Sea today." Seeing the scene in front of him, Hong Shichang was immediately excited cried out.

The battle between the two sides became more intense. The battleship Elizabeth and the Revenge rushed towards the battleship Qin and Chu with all their strength, firing continuously while advancing.

In order to try to prevent the PLA Navy from attacking, facing the two battleships, Hong Shichang ordered the battleship Chu to bring two Liaoyang-class cruisers and five or six destroyers to continue to pursue the fleet that John Bull had withdrawn.

The battleship Qin and the heavy cruiser Jin are responsible for the two battleships that John Bull intends to use to break the rear.

On the Chu State who received the order, Cheng Dong, the captain of the Chu State, immediately burst into laughter. Although he might face two battleships if he pursued him, Cheng Dong didn't think much of it. Not afraid, even a little excited.

"Follow me at full speed. I want John Bull to know that without my consent, they can't run if they want." Cheng Dong ordered excitedly with his big eyes wide open.

Under Cheng Dong's order, this huge battleship quickly launched at full strength. It is composed of eight heavy oil water tube boilers and four sets of general electric electric gear transmission steam turbines. The powerful power system immediately output at full strength. , The total power produced reached a full 22 horsepower.

For a while, the battleship Chu State exploded at a high speed that was completely disproportionate to its huge size, and the speed of the entire battleship began to increase at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a short period of time, the strategic ship Chu State The speed has reached more than 30 knots.

At this moment, John Bull's navy, which was in charge of blocking the attack, was dumbfounded. The captain of the battleship Elizabeth almost popped his eyes out of his sockets, and kept muttering: "How could such a huge battleship be so fast? So fast, how did those Chinese people do it, the speed of this battleship has reached at least 30 knots, damn it, how is it possible? He is still accelerating."

The captain of the battleship Elizabeth hit the steel plate beside him with a fist. He really didn't expect that the Chinese battleship not only had strong firepower and defense, but also had such a powerful speed.

Chapter 249: Decisive Battle at Sea (Final) -->> (page 1/2),

The captain of the battleship Elizabeth hit the steel plate beside him with a fist. He really didn't expect that the Chinese battleship not only had strong firepower and defense, but also had such a powerful speed.

And Abraham, who had already started to retreat at this time, became dumbfounded when he learned that the speed of Chu Guo could reach more than 30 knots.

You must know that the maximum speed of his battleship Royal Oak is only more than 20 knots per hour, and he dare not maintain this speed for a long time, otherwise the boiler will not be able to bear it.

But he never imagined that the speed of the battleship Chu State could exceed 30 knots.

"Let's break through with all our strength. The Malaya and the Royal Oak retreat separately. Only one battleship is catching up. You can always escape one battleship." Abraham said weakly.

"The enemy that the commander is catching up with is only one battleship. We should try it. Why run away?" Seeing that there was only one battleship catching up, Armstrong's eyes lit up. It's not entirely hopeless if you hit one.

"Armstrong shouldn't take any chances anymore. If we stay and continue fighting now, neither the Royal Oak nor the Malaya will be able to escape. If the current situation continues-go, be responsible for the broken ship. The Revenge and the Elizabeth won't last long, and by then the rest of the warships of the Chinese will come, so how can we fight?" Abraham said helplessly.

"But, but did we just give up like this?" Armstrong said with some unwillingness to give up.

 …  

But Abraham didn't answer his question, but closed his eyes in pain and sat in his seat without saying a word.

The battle ended soon, and there were some wreckage left over from the battle floating on the sea surface, as well as a large amount of oil, making the sea that was supposed to be peaceful and serene look like a Shura field.

After the naval battle ended, not far from the battlefield, a young officer on the observation ship of the Bald Eagle said with some emotion: "This war probably won't last long, if it continues like this, John Bull probably Won't last - go."

"Yeah, this war probably won't last long. Who would have thought? The world's number one navy lost in this small corner of the Far East, but the Chinese navy has indeed risen. You must know that they are in the East China Sea. There is still a Pacific Fleet in the direction." Another young officer also said with great emotion, but when he talked about the Pacific Fleet, he also showed a trace of solemnity.

"Young people, don't worry about these things. The battle is over. I think you should have a lot of experience. After you go back, summarize your thoughts and write down your thoughts." The leading lieutenant general Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit weird, he immediately issued an order of his own.

After hearing the order, the bald eagle officers immediately returned to their rooms and began to recall this naval battle.

Ask for flowers... ask for a monthly ticket.

Chapter 250: After the naval battle.

At 1932:3 pm on March 16, [-], the news of the great victory in the South China Sea Battle finally reached Huacheng, the current political center of China, after several transmissions.

Chen Zhao, Minister of the Navy Department of the General Staff, was staying in his office at this time, looking a little restless, obviously worried about the ongoing battle of the South China Sea Fleet.Regarding the news of the South China Sea battle, apart from Hong Shichang who is the person involved and the sergeants of the South China Sea Fleet, he is probably the one who worries the most. Who can call him the Minister of the Navy of China?

Just when Chen Zhao was a little anxious, the door of Chen Zhao's office was pushed open, and Yao Ning, one of the vice ministers of the navy, rushed in excitedly. Although he was a little impatient, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden. ?

Yao Ning rushed in regardless of his current demeanor "Zero Zero Seven", and said with high spirits: "Old Chen, good news, this is a good news from the South China Sea Fleet, great victory! Here, this is a telegram. Hurry up!" Take it and have a look." Said Yao Ning and handed the telegram in his hand to Chen Zhao.

Without hesitation, Chen Zhao happily took the telegram in his hand, and read it carefully. When he saw the content, Chen Zhao's face was also filled with a smile.

"Haha, it really is a great victory. The four major battleships of John Bull's Far East Fleet, except the Royal Oak, which fled back to Singapore, the other three battleships, the Elizabeth, were seriously injured and surrendered. The Malaya and the Vengeance The ship was sunk, this is really good news!" Chen Zhao read the contents of the telegram very excitedly.

After a while, Chen Zhaocai recovered from the surprise, patted his head and said, "Look at me, I've been patronizing this good news, have you sent this news to Mr. Ji?"

After Yao Ning heard it, he shook his head and said, "I didn't pay much attention to it, but Mr. Ji should already know about such a big news, right?"

"Forget it, don't worry about it, just prepare with me. Let's tell Mr. Ji the news. After such a long time, our navy can have a good record, and we can finally hold our heads up in the future. Be a man!" Chen Zhao said half-jokingly, put on his overcoat, and walked towards the door.
