Just when the battle fleet was in a stalemate and the melee was in full swing, the cruiser of the Allied Powers suddenly changed its tactics under the leadership of General Betty. They seized the opportunity of the melee with Yaman Boston cruiser, and Betty's fleet suddenly accelerated.
The battle line was formed soon.
Under General Betty's flagship, the Allied Cruise Fleet, which formed the battle line, made a turn, relying on more warships to circle the cruisers and destroyers of Yamam and Boston, and they temporarily blocked them with fierce artillery fire.
Half a battlefield. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Allied Destroyer fleet suddenly turned around and drove toward the area where the battle fleet was fighting.
All the Allied Navy wanted was to lure the opponent's small warships out and then use his own destroyers to raid. Marshal Jericho used his perfect destroyer melee tactics. At this time, a large number of destroyers approached the opponent's battleship formation from the flanks and fired torpedoes crazily.
, Without the constraints of the opponent's destroyer fleet, the attack efficiency of the Saal destroyer is very high.
Although it was a bit fussy when encountering a sudden attack, the Yaman fleet had already learned the lessons of several naval battles and was still prepared for Jericho's tactics. The Yaman battleships were equipped with a large number of small calibers on both sides.
Rapid-fire cannons, facing the speeding destroyer fleet, these high-level dual-purpose rapid-fire cannons immediately began to shoot.
The Yaman battleship's rapid-fire cannons fired desperately, and dense small-caliber shells intertwined into a fire net, killing the Allied Navy's destroyer fleet, but the Allied destroyer fleet despite its own casualties and still braved the opponent's dense firepower to approach.
The opponent's fleet carried out a torpedo attack. Under the Allied destroyer's attack regardless of its own desperation, the Allied battleships exploded and caught fire. They soon began to slowly sink with a larger number of Allied destroyers.
The modification of the Yaman Empire battleship still has a very important effect. Therefore, in this destroyer's combat operation, the Allied Navy's results were not ideal. Not only were there a large number of its own destroyers sunk, but they were sunk by the destroyer with torpedoes.
Most of them have no experience in this area and are not as large as the Boston Empire battleship, which has insufficient number of small-caliber rapid-fire cannons.
Despite this, the Allied destroyer assault tactics achieved good results, and the Northern Fleet, which was already at a disadvantage in number, was in a more difficult situation. Seeing that the other side was gradually in the upper hand, Marshal Scher ordered the fleet to fight and retreat while trying to delay.
Time is waiting for the Southern Fleet and the Chinese Fleet to reinforce. Marshal Scher did not lack his own trump card. Just as Marshal Jericho was a little proud and ordered the fleet to pursue at full speed, the trump card of the Allies was launched.
If someone carefully observes the nearby sea surface and has good eyesight, they will find that there are some inconspicuous small things on the sea surface with rippling waves and smoke. They are the periscopes of the Yaman submarine force.
Marshal Schell knew very well that his strength was weak. In order to make up for this defect, he secretly brought a large number of submarine troops, which were placed in submarine motherships and transported in the supply fleet. When they discovered that
When the opponent's reconnaissance plane was on the other side, Marshal Scher, in addition to ordering the supply ship to leave the formation and the war fleet to pursue it, another secret order was to keep the submarine hidden on the spot and prepare to ambush the Allied fleet.
These submarines were ventilated with snorkels, and parked around five meters below the sea to wait for the opportunity silently. At this moment, they had been lurking underwater for nearly five hours. The time was to lure the Allied fleet to arrive nearby Marshal Scher, who had seen it, had already arrived.
, He immediately notified the submarine force in a code language through radio, knowing that the underwater killer who had been silent for a long time had risen to the periscope.
The soldiers of the Allied Fleet were chasing the Allied Fleets all the way, without finding themselves at all. Because they were attacking at full speed, some disconnections began to appear between the Allied ships, and the fastest destroyer ran in front.
Following closely behind was the cruiser fleet, which was landed five nautical miles away due to its slowest speed.
Marshal Jericho looked at the Allied fleet with his look glasses, which was still retreating in the distance. The more he looked, the more he felt strange. In the Allied fleet, the cruisers that were supposed to run very fast landed at the end, and they were delayed with artillery fire.
The actions of the Allied destroyers seemed to be causing the destroyers to pursue them. It was estimated that the speed of the action was slowed down.
The uneasiness in his heart made the cautious Marshal Jericho hesitate. If he continues to pursue, he may severely damage the opponent's main fleet. If he chooses to stop and complete the team, he may miss this great opportunity, although the idea of severely damage the opponent's main fleet is very tempting.
The cautious Marshal Jericho still felt that he should be more stable.
Just as he wanted to issue an order to stop chasing and reorganize the formation, the Allied Fleet suddenly turned collectively and launched a fierce attack on the destroyers and cruisers that were chasing the front of the Allied Fleet. Seeing the action of the Allied Fleet, Jerry
Marshal Ke found that this was a good opportunity to wipe out the opponent. He no longer thought about reorganizing the formation, but directly ordered the destroyers and cruisers to drag the opponent down and create opportunities for the battle fleet. At this time, he had forgotten the doubts he had just said.
.
The warships of the Allied Powers seemed to be fighting to the death without a way out. They fought desperately against their own safety and attacked the destroyers and cruisers of the Allied Powers. These small warships could not withstand the power of the huge main guns of the battleships, in a flash.
More than a dozen destroyers and two cruisers were sunk in between.
Marshal Jericho was unmoved. Looking at the battlefield getting closer and closer, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. As long as he could keep the main fleet of the Allied Powers, it would be worth it even if he suffered a great loss. But
At this time, the main battleship of the Nantes Empire located on the outermost side of the battleship fleet, the side of the "Selliu", which had a displacement of 18,000 tons, suddenly exploded, and then the battleships located on the outermost side were all killed.
Surrounded by the explosion, eight battleships began to tilt in an instant.
"What happened?" Marshal Jericho was startled by the sudden explosion and quickly asked the officer next to him.
"Marson, it's a torpedo, we're ambushed." An officer exclaimed, holding up his telescope.
"Submarine?" Jericho screamed. He finally knew why he was uneasy. The other party had abnormally used the submarine used for combat to fight the main fleet in the decisive battle.
Jericho immediately ordered: "The battle fleet continues to advance and let the destroyer retreat to conduct anti-submarine operations."
Fortunately, Marshal Jericho gave the order decisively. If he waited for a while, the destroyer would be wiped out by the opponent. The fast and light destroyer quickly got rid of the opponent's pursuit and retreated to the vicinity of the battleship. The deep-water bombs behind each destroyer were dropped.
The weapon was fully opened, and within a range of five thousand meters around the battleship, they desperately threw deep-water bombs, sank many Yaman submarines that had no time to evacuate into the sea.
The battle fleets of both sides were intertwined again, and the scene was extremely chaotic, but the Allied fleet, which still had a considerable advantage, gradually gained the upper hand. At this moment, an observer of the Allied shouted: "A fleet was found in the rear,
It's from the Allies."
Marshal Jericho was shocked. He took the telescope and looked carefully. The fleet was getting closer and closer. Soon a huge golden double-headed eagle flag jumped into his eyes. It was from the Kingdom of Habuffsburg.
Flag. Jericho exclaimed: "It is the reinforcements of the Allies, the flag of the Kingdom of Habuffsburg."
Marshal Jericho's mood fell to the bottom in an instant. Originally, because the last time the Boston Empire fleet was ambushed during the landing battle, the warships were lost a lot, which made the combined fleets of the Yaman Empire and the Boston Empire no longer have an advantage over the Saar Navy in terms of the number of combined fleets.
, with the Nantes Navy assisting in the war this time, Marshal Jericho thought that he could rely on flexible tactics to wipe out the opponent's joint fleet this time.
Unexpectedly, the Allied Fleet commanded by him had been entangled with the Allied Northern Fleet for too long, which made the Allied Southern Fleet actually arrive here. The current situation is no longer whether the Allied Fleet can encircle and annihilate the Northern Fleet of the Allied, but may be surrounded and annihilated by the other side.
The previous plan could no longer be realized. If it was surrounded by the other side, it would be in danger of being severely damaged. Marshal Jericho made a quick decision and ordered the fleet to withdraw from the battle and advance towards the port of the Nantes Empire.
Once the order to retreat was issued, the cruisers and destroyers of the Allied Fleet immediately stepped forward and fired a large number of torpedoes to block the pursuit of the Allied Fleets. Then the Allied Fleet sailed southeast and retreated to the Nantes Empire at full speed.
Seeing the other party retreat, Marshal Scher breathed a long sigh. The name of the world's largest naval power for hundreds of years in the Saar Empire is not a waste of time. The quality of sailors and command flexibility alone are not comparable to that of our side. Now
The other side had retreated, but the Allied fleet was unable to pursue it.
In this battle, the Northern Fleet of the Allied Powers lost 17 Chinese ships, 31 Chinese ships, 27 cruisers, 84 destroyers, and 29 submarshals. It was a heavy loss, but Marshal Scher secretly rejoiced.
Yes, except for all the lost submarines belonging to the Yaman Empire, the losses of other warships mainly belong to the Boston Empire.
Although there are insufficient equipment for rapid-fire guns here, and the technical problems of the opponent's destroyer assault tactics are lost, and more importantly, the Boston sailors have not had any war and lack training for more than ten years, so they are no longer used to becoming different from the New World War period.
Naval battle mode.
Never seen such a modern mode of large-scale battleship naval battles. The Boston Empire's Navy was unable to deal with such losses, but the wealthy Boston Empire was not moved by such losses. With their manufacturing capabilities, they would soon be able to lose these warships.
