Your Majesty the Emperor! Four warships from the first guerrilla echelon of enemy ships have entered our ambush sea area, right?
In the radar cabin, an Imperial radar warrior discovered that four warships including the Little Japanese Yoshino had been lured into the waters near the East China Sea Fleet by his side's 'bait' warships.
Zhou Yu, who was sitting aside, reported.
He wanted to ask Zhou Yu if he could send the information to Deng Shichang's command tower!
Zhou Yu replied with a cheerful smile:
Of course! Report the content to Deng Shichang and let him handle it!
The radar soldier snapped, gave Zhou Yu a solemn imperial military salute, and happily reported to Deng Shichang.
Zhou Yu looked at the busy back of the radar warrior and smiled silently!
After Deng Shichang received the information from the radar cabin, he immediately stood up with a sudden breath. Apart from seriousness, there was only a look of joy on his resolute face. That was the look of joy that an excellent hunter would have before hunting down his prey.
Order, the entire fleet starts at full speed, heads straight ahead, forms a semi-circular encirclement, opens the big bag, and surrounds the first echelon warships of the little devils. I demand that the enemy ships be completely wiped out ~ no survivors will be left!
Deng Shichang's order had just been issued. With Dreadnought B as the center, all the warships of the East China Sea Fleet began to move forward in a semicircle like swords unsheathed, scattering like fairy flowers against the waves.
In order to prevent the first echelon warships of the Japs from discovering the main fleet of the East China Sea Fleet, everyone spread out widely.
At this time, the speed of the Imperial Navy warships was more than 28 knots, and some warships even reached the terrifying speed of more than 30 knots. This was a terrifying existence at the time.
Taking advantage of their speed, no matter how far they ran, the soldiers were confident that they would form an encirclement against the four first-echelon warships of the Little Japanese that were about to enter the big pocket to achieve the goal of total annihilation.
The first echelon of little devils wearing cockscomb hats, Fleet Commander Kaname Kaname, stood on the control tower of the Yoshino, holding on to the armrest of the bridge of the control tower with one hand, while the other hand held a
A 10x telescope, looking at the Imperial 'escape ship' ahead.
He felt deeply confused. His Yoshino warship had quite advanced performance, with a speed of more than 22.5 knots, while the Akitsusu ironclad's speed reached a terrifying speed of more than 26 knots.
But even so, the Chinese Empire's 'escaping warship' in front was always hanging lifelessly in front, and his own warships were never able to overtake the other side, which puzzled him very much.
Of course, this also has its own side. Considering that the warships Takachiho and Naniwa can only reach a speed of about 18 knots, they slowed down.
But this was not the main reason for his confusion. His main confusion was that the imperial warships did not spit out large amounts of thick black smoke like their own warships. The smoke came out of their large chimneys.
, it’s actually a faint blue-white smoke!
How is this possible?
Even if the coal used by the Chinese Empire's warships is the highest quality Welsh anthracite, it is impossible to achieve such an effect?
Heyuan had to decide that the first echelon should advance at full speed and no longer maintain a horizontal formation. It must catch up with the enemy ships, intercept them, and annihilate them in this sea area.
Heyuan Yaoyi's order was faithfully conveyed by the little Japanese flag bearer.
After Yoshino's order was given, the ironclads Yoshino and Akitsusu finally got rid of their own speed constraints and began to move forward at full speed.
Soon, the fastest armored ship Akitsusu rushed to the front, followed closely by the armored ship Yoshino, and the warships Takachiho and Naniwa were left far behind.
Not long after, the armored ship Yoshino was also left far behind by the high-speed armored ship Akitsusu. At this point, the four warships in the first echelon of the Little Devils opened a long vertical line on the sea.
, the distance between the ships gradually becomes farther.
Ten minutes later, the Akitsusu armored ship disappeared from the Yoshino's sight. Twenty minutes later, the Akitsusu armored ship finally 'caught up' with the two imperial 'fugitive' warships in front.
The armored ship Akitsusu began to speed up again, trying to overtake the two imperial warships in front of it. The armored ship Akitsusu was ready to fight for the position head on!
This is an extremely dangerous move, and it is also a manifestation of the extremely inflated self-confidence of the captain of the Akitsusu armored ship, Uemura Hikonosei, who despises the empire's "fugitive" warship...
Soon the armored ship Akitsusu surpassed the two imperial warships. When it was about 8,000 meters away from the two imperial warships, Uemura Hikonoshima ordered the armored ship Akitsusu to occupy the D-position and prepare to fire.
The armored ship Akitsusu slowed down within this distance, and began to draw a large U-shaped arc. The warship was facing the two imperial warships.
At this time, inside the Akijinzhou iron-clad ship, alarm bells rang, and the little devils began to run hurriedly to grab their combat positions. The little devil artillerymen, even more, were adjusting the firing angle and turning the guns.
mouth.
The cannonballs loaded with strong Shimase gunpowder, which the little devils are proud of, were invented by their own engineers. The little devils' bomb loaders carefully stuffed them into the barrels of the guns, and bolted the breech.
By this time, the ironclad Akitsushima was basically at a stationary berth.
The two imperial warships seemed to turn a blind eye to the overtaking and positioning of the Akitsusu armored ship, and did not make any reaction. They continued to move forward, facing the Akitsusu armored ship.
However, the driving speed has slowed down!
Suddenly, a bomb carrier from the Akitsusu armored ship, who was looking around in boredom, screamed: "Mother! (Oh my god!) There is an enemy ship behind! It's so big!"
The little devil's shrill howl pierced the sky, causing all the little devils on the Akitsusu armored ship who heard it and could see it to turn around and look, including the captain Uemura Hikonosei. He also felt inexplicably.
Turn around and look.
With just one glance, the little Japanese Captain Uemura Hikonoshima was so frightened that he sat down on the deck. His face instantly turned gray, his whole body was shaking like chaff, and the captain's hat on his head fell to the ground.
, he didn’t even have any reaction.
What did he see?
Captain Xiaoguizi saw one, just an armored ship, but the pressure on his heart caused by this solitary armored ship was enormous.
He saw a ship, flying the dragon flag of the Great Empire of China, heading towards his warship at high speed, cutting through the wind and waves. It was about 180 meters long, about 30 meters wide, and had a standard displacement of more than 20,000 tons. It was a giant ship.
Ironclad ship.
He had never thought about the 20,000-ton iron-clad giant ship, let alone seen it. The huge cannons on the giant ship were braving the eerie cold air and were pointing at his warship.
The ghosts of the dead are coming out, and the air-conditioning is sucking!
Uemura Hikonoshima has never noticed that there will be enemy ships in the sea behind him. However, according to visual inspection, the distance between the two warships will not exceed 15,000 meters.
At such a close distance, all conditions on the opponent's warship can be seen with the naked eye, and there is no need to use binoculars at all.
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Uemura Hikonoshima's mind, and the word "ambush" came to mind. The enemy deliberately used two warships to lure his own warships into the ambush circle.
Moreover, Uemura Hikonoshima also concluded that there must be more than one enemy warship. In the nearby waters, the enemy is likely to have other warships, and his own fleet warships are in danger!
When he thought of this possibility, Uemura Hikonoshima felt his scalp numb for a while. This sinister feeling made Uemura Hikonoshima shiver all over, from the inside to the outside!
One's own fleet took a "extremely gorgeous" risk; one's own fleet was fooled by the Imperial Navy!
Run for your life! This was Uemura Hikonoshima's first reaction. Facing the Dreadnought Battleship B, Uemura Hikonoshima had no courage to resist. This was a gap as big as a natural chasm. It was not something that courage could withstand!
He was as crazy as a dog. He got up and frantically ordered the armored ship Qiujinzhou to return home as soon as possible!
It is a pity that Deng Shichang on the Dreadnought Battleship B has already issued an order to open fire on the entire ship and sink the enemy ship!
