, Today's update, there is a second update for Shaozhou. Stay tuned! "
The Third and Fourth Teams successfully completed their mission, defeating or annihilated the Russian cruiser fleet. Although the Cruise Kagur ran away, the results were doubted by Moyong.
Of course, the heavy cruisers of the Emperor Qin Navy defeated the Russian Navy's cruiser, and there was nothing to be praised for. However, the Russian fleet participated in such a huge naval battle, for them, a fleet of cruisers was defeated so quickly, and five sank four, which was a huge blow to them.
While the Western Front achieved major results, the Eastern Front did not achieve the expected results.
Originally, the tactic arranged by General Lin Jianzhang was the "Tian Ji horse racing" tactic. The Emperor Qin Navy used battleships to deal with the second-class battleships of the Russian Navy and the heavy cruiser fleet to deal with the Russian Navy's cruiser fleet. In this way, the Emperor Qin Navy's greatest combat advantage could be used.
Four heavy cruisers attacked at the same time, the third and fourth cruisers only dealt with a ninth team with only five cruisers. On the eastern front, the fifth and sixth cruisers teams exchanged fire with two Russian cruisers teams.
Not as easy as the Western Front, the nine heavy cruisers of the two heavy cruisers on the Eastern Front were only about the strong level. The four heavy cruisers of the Fifth Team were transformed from the second-class battleships captured by Russia. The five heavy cruisers of the Sixth Team were five large armored cruisers converted from Japan. Therefore, the degree was not as good as the Third Team and the Fourth Team, and at the same time, it was not faster than the Russian cruiser team. Therefore, under the control of the two Russian cruisers, it was difficult to seize the advantageous "length position on the head of the character. The lethality was much weaker, and it was not as good as the Third Team.
After more than half an hour of work, the USS Canalien cruiser, which only severely damaged the 10th Russian team, forced the ship to withdraw from the battle sequence and stay away from the battlefield. Although the other seven Russian cruisers were covered in scars, they did not lose their combat effectiveness.
However, when four Russian Ninth Cruiser Team were sunk on the Western Front. One was severely injured and fled. After the death of the seven remaining cruisers on the Eastern Front were panicked and had no intention of fighting and were eager to leave the battlefield.
The most feared thing on the battlefield is that they have no fighting spirit, which will give their opponents an opportunity to take advantage of. The remaining four cruisers of the Russian Eighth Team, the Reinda, the Konilov, the Svetlena, and the Avlear, and the Tenth Team, the Oleg, the Emerald, and the Pearl. The two teams formed a ", character formation, and wandered between the fifth and sixth Teams of the Emperor Qin Navy. Although they could not defend the two heavy cruisers of the Emperor Qin Navy, they could deal with each other in a short time and persisted until the battleship formations arrived.
At this moment, the first and second battleship formations of the Emperor Qin Navy were slowly moving south in the shape of a "" character, while the four cruiser fleets had eliminated the Russian supply fleet and were moving closer to the main fleet.
The previous lightning-like punch had already destroyed the supply fleet of the Russian fleet, and the rest of the time was to slowly spend with the Russian fleet.
The Russian second-class battleship formation was not in a hurry to advance, but waited for the battleship formations to act together, because according to General Rorithestvinsky's analysis, the supply fleet had been controlled by the Emperor Qin Navy and it was too late to reinforce. At the same time, the fierce gunfire sounds in front and the three cruisers were hit hard and suffered heavy losses.
Therefore, General Rozedes Twinsky ordered the three second-class battleship formations to slow down. He joined the battleship formations before moving forward. At this moment, the supply fleet was lost, which was a huge blow to the morale of the Russian Far East Fleet. In this case, General Rozedes Twinsky had to fight a decisive battle with the Emperor Qin Navy and had to win a battle to stabilize the morale of the army.
Fortunately, when they encountered the Emperor Qin Navy for the first time, they did not fight back, and the Russian fleet bombarded two rounds of gorgeous shelling, which slightly raised the morale of the Russian naval officers and soldiers.
At this moment, as long as the Emperor Qin Haijun is severely damaged, the morale of the army can be temporarily stabilized. As for what to do if the supply is lost? General Luorithestvinsky has no time to think about it!
"Hiss Commander, look!" Lieutenant General Pinkovsky, chief of staff of the fleet, pointed to the battle waters ahead and said to General Rozedestvinsky: "The only one left in the Ninth Team is the Kagur, and he has also been severely damaged and has also withdrawn from the battle sequence!"
General Rozedestvinsky sighed three, "It's all my fault! If I weren't eager to rescue the supply fleet, they wouldn't be like this!"
Lieutenant General Pinkovsky said: "If it were me, I would have made such a decision! It was not you, nor us who was wrong. It was the Chinese Navy who was too shameless and dared not fight head-on, but he attacked our supply fleet! Moreover, the most annoying thing is that our supply fleet is from a German company, aren't they afraid of offending the Germans?"
General Rozedes Twinsky smiled bitterly and said, "War is like this, and you can do everything you can. Offending the Germans is obviously the lightest than destroying our supplies. If it were me, I would do that too! At worst, I would give the Germans some benefits after the war and settle them!"
Then he sighed: "I really want to meet the Chinese commander, and his tactics make me admire him.
Lieutenant General Pinkovsky said dissatisfiedly: "How can you say that? Please pay attention to your identity. You are a nobleman of the Russian Empire and a fleet commander!"
General Rorithestvinsky snorted coldly and said, "Why are we rejected by Europeans? Isn't our mother still the mother who is so sad about us? He regards himself as a nobleman who looks down on others. We are the ones who look down on others."
Although Lieutenant General Pinkovsky was dissatisfied, he did not deny that what General Roztzestevinsky said was reasonable. However, there is no need to argue with him about these irrelevant things. After all, General Roztzestevinsky is still the commander of the fleet. Lieutenant General Pinkovsky does not want to be scolded if he has nothing to do!
"Hiss Commander, let's fire quickly! Look, the two Fengguo fleets on the Western Front have reinforced the Eastern Front."
General Rozedestvinsky shook his head and said, "Didn't you see our warships entangled with them? At this time, the fire was fired, didn't we even attack our own people?"
Lieutenant General Pingkovsky said softly: "Commander, look at the battlefield situation. At present, the main battleship formation of the Chinese Navy dare not move lightly. I believe that one is afraid of accidentally hurting their warships, and the other is to make plans after we act. At this moment, in the middle of the battle area, we have seven cruisers. However, the Chinese Navy has invested seventeen heavy cruisers. If we gather the firepower of the entire fleet and carry out indiscriminate attacks, we can sink at least ten enemy ships, and maybe we can sink all enemy ships. And we only pay the price of seven cruisers! General, think about it, if these seventeen heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy are destroyed, what are they left?
General Rozedestvinsky looked at Lieutenant General Bekovsky coldly and said angrily: "You are so cruel!"
Lieutenant General Pinkovsky didn't care and continued: "Genius General, if I can win the Russian Empire's Navy, I am willing to take all the charges, even if I was hanged in the square of St. Petersburg!"
"No!" General Rozedes Twinsky immediately rejected Lieutenant General Pinkovsky's suggestion and continued: "Once you do that, don't talk about whether you can get the effect. If you let yourself cut off your soldiers and fire their comrades, it will cause a mutiny in the entire fleet!"
"God General!" Lieutenant General Pinkovsky said: "If you are worried about this, then you don't have to!"
"What do you say?" General Rozedestvinsky asked.
"I can stop the mutiny!"
"joke".
General Rozedestvinsky said disdainfully: "If there is a mutiny, how can you stop it."
Lieutenant General Pinkovsky said: "God General, I am the one who ordered the fire to fire. I took the initiative to fire! Once the soldiers mutiny, please ask the general to shoot me and use the regular military law. Then, the entire fleet will be safe and sound."
General Rorithestvinsky's eyes tightened, and he looked at his follower for the first time. At this time, he not only admired Lieutenant General Pinkovsky's courage and strategy, but more importantly, General Rorithestvinsky knew that his subordinates were always keeping a low profile. "The "With the "With the "With the "With the Best" General Rorithestvinsky admired and was jealous. He was in a complicated mood.
boom!
A bolt from the blue awakened General Rorithestvinsky in contemplation.
I looked up and saw a huge cloud of mushrooms rising from the battle waters ahead, which was so red that it reflected the sky and the sea.' "What's going on?"
This kind of explosion is neither caused by strong millimeter heavy artillery shells nor the effect of torpedo attacks. It is formed by the huge explosion caused by the ammunition depot.
"Report to the commander. The Eighth Team's agent flagship, the cruiser, Rainda, was violently bombarded by the enemy and exploded for life!"
The Russian cruiser team is obviously not the opponent of the heavy cruiser of the Emperor Qin Navy. There are almost no armor-protected cruisers. The chance of being killed after being hit by an enemy ship is too high.
“What’s the distance?”
"Distance to the rice of Wangkou".
At this moment, the twenty first-class battleships of the Russian Navy and the fourteen second-class battleships were already very close. If fired at this distance, the seventeen Emperor Qin Navy heavy cruisers in the center of the battlefield would be greatly damaged. After all, the heavy cruisers could not show off their power in front of the battleships. This gap was like a thin man who could not become a real fat man even if he swelled his face.
At this moment, the Russian fleet's three cruiser fleets, fifteen cruisers, have now sunk seven, two of them exit the battle sequence, and the only remaining six cruisers are left. This scissor is already in danger.
"Your Excellency Commander, please give orders quickly!" Lieutenant General Pinkovsky said hurriedly: "Look, the one who sank the Renda cruiser from the time he came up was the third team of the Disu Navy. This team is different from other heavy cruisers. The three triple-mounted milk millimeter main guns of the Wangshu-class heavy cruiser and four double-mounted milk millimeter main guns of the Feilian-class heavy cruiser. They are all powerful battleships. In the battle of Midway, the results they achieved shocked the world and were praised by naval experts all over the world as the terminators of armored cruisers. Our cruiser is the lamb to be slaughtered in front of them, and it is only a matter of time before they are sunk."
Then he said, "General, don't hesitate, just follow my method!"
General Rozedestvinsky sighed: "You are my right-hand man, I can't do it without it."
"General!"
Lieutenant General Pinkovsky was still waiting to be persuaded, but was stopped by General Rozedestvinsky, saying, "Okay, I understand! I know your hard work! It's just that I have my own way!"
Then he ignored Lieutenant General Pingkovsky and turned around and ordered: "Immediately, inform the remaining six cruisers to return immediately! At the same time, he ordered the entire fleet of battleships to be in the center, and the second-class battleship formations were arranged on both sides. Keep the average progress!"
General Rorithestvinsky said fiercely: "Since the Chinese have set up a crab array, let's also set up one to see if it is a Chinese crab Lilu or a Russian crab!"
After saying that, he returned to the commander's tower alone. At that moment, Lieutenant General Pinkovsky knew that General Rozedes Twinsky had been deeply jealous of him, and he could only shake his head and sigh, not knowing whether it was for his future destiny or for the fate of the Russian Navy.
At twelve o'clock, the Russian main fleet approached and began to attack the four heavy cruisers of the Emperor Qin Navy. The captains of the Emperor Qin Navy's heavy cruiser team received orders before leaving that once the Russian main battleship formation came up, they were not allowed to exchange fire with the enemy fleet. So, the four heavy cruisers teams, looking at the six Russian cruisers who had been scarred and had no fur, wanted to fight for a while, completely destroy them with full combat achievements. However, when the Russian fleet's strong millimeter heavy artillery shells roared one after another, this idea was immediately dispelled.
Facing the thick-skinned Russian battleship, although the heavy cruiser of the Emperor Qin Navy was quite powerful, he still did not dare to touch the battleship, so the four heavy cruisers fought. Li Hui sent a signal and left the intermediate battlefield one after another and returned to the town.
Inside the commander tower of the Pangu battleship, General Lin Jianxing, the commander of the Pacific Fleet, put down his telescope and said with a smile: "See? The Russians actually learned and sold it now, and they really started a crab formation!"
Lieutenant General Xu Zhiwang, Chief of Staff of the Fleet, turned around and said: "Two big crabs fight. We are a little thinner. It seems that we will suffer a loss when fighting!"
"Yes!" General Lin Jianzhang sighed: "The Russian fleet placed all twenty main battleships in the middle, and could concentrate at least eight strong millimeter main guns in any direction. Once fire was exchanged, these deadly main guns could easily damage any battleship. If you were tortoise, a round of volleys could sink one of our battleships. At the same time, the two wings were second-class battleships, and their main gun caliber and armor protection were much stronger than our ordinary heavy cruisers. When fighting, we would suffer a loss!" """ "Yes!" Xu Zhicai nodded and said: "Is this actually a turtle tactic? They are far better than us in the number of weak millimeter main guns, and the outermost second-class battleships have much stronger armor protection than our heavy cruisers. If they have always maintained this formation, our degree advantage will be completely unswerable."
Admiral Lin Jianzhang said: "If we approach them, we will definitely suffer a loss and get shells! What we are facing is not the small-caliber shell of the cruiser, but the powerful strong millimeter shell. As long as one is hit, it will be difficult!"
Then he sneered: "Since they don't let us approach them! Then we won't mess with them! The whole fleet heads to the south, avoid the Russian fleet, and keep an eight-kilometer distance from them!"
Lin Jianzhang looked at the pocket watch again and said with a smile: "Let's have lunch for the officers and soldiers. They all eat full!"
The General Xu Zhiwang looked puzzled and asked, "What do you mean? Are you fighting now? What are you eating?"
Lin Jianzhang smiled and said, "It is because of the war that we have to eat. Only when we have enough food can we fight! We can't let our soldiers go hungry like the Russians!"
Russians go hungry?
Xu Zhiwang immediately understood what Lin Jianzhang meant. It turned out that Lin Jianzhang saw that the Russian supply fleet was destroyed, and tens of thousands of people in the entire Russian fleet had no supplies, so of course he had to be hungry.
But he still didn't understand a little and asked, "But, let's have a meal, what should we do if the Russian fleet comes to fight?"
"Since they are together, in order to keep the formation unchanged, they can only sail according to their battleships!" Lin Jianzhang said: "Look at their battleships, on average, there is less than the occupancy rate. The Beijing battleship, which is the slowest, also has a occupancy rate? They are chasing them.
Then he said meaningfully: "Do they dare to chase after me?"
Xu Zhiwang suddenly realized. Yes! The supply of this Xuan Russia is gone, and he must be eager to fight them. And the recklessness of the Net has led to several cruisers being sunk, making them afraid to take the initiative.
However, the Russian fleet is not strong enough, and taking the initiative will inevitably disperse the fleet, so it is obvious that Emperor Qin Haijun will have an opportunity to take advantage of it. However, will you wait until you starve to death if you don’t attack?
This contradiction is irreconcilable, and sooner or later General Rozedestvinsky must make a choice.
Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Xu Zhi.com immediately said: "After saying this, I'm hungry, go and have a meal!"
Lin Jianzhang suddenly asked, "Where to eat?"
"Dining!" Xu Zhiwang replied: "What's wrong? Don't we all eat in the Fleet Restaurant?"
Lin Jianzhang smiled and said, "I knew you would say that! But today I am in a good mood and invite you to have a big meal!"
"Come on, you!" Xu Zhiwang said with a lip lip: "There is no village or shop here. Maybe the Russian fleet will really catch up in a while. How can you have time?"
Lin Jianzhang said: "I really don't know how you, the chief of staff, are you? Today, the emperor and the imperial concubine are on our warship!"
Seeing Xu Zhiwang stunned. Lin Jianzhang smiled and said, "The imperial chefs in the palace have come a lot! They are gone too late!"
After saying that, Lin Jianzhang had already left with a laugh. Xu Zhiwang immediately reported it and hurriedly chased him out.
Chapter completed!
