When Lovstowski suddenly heard that the flagship signal device was destroyed, he was stunned at first. After a moment, his expression, which was still extremely fanatical, became as cold as ice. He knew what the flagship signal device was destroyed, meant.

Now the Pacific Fleet uses a one-line snake formation to fight. Once the flagship loses its function, the huge fleet will immediately be headless, just like an extremely fierce giant python suddenly hit the head of the snake, which is seven inches of the snake.

"Damn Tang Jian, I must kill you!" Lovstowski roared angrily in the bridge command room, and a trace of fear suddenly flashed in his eyes, but this trace of fear flashed by, replaced by a deep resentment.

"Hiss Commander! What should I do now?" Colonel Chalf asked cautiously.

At this time, the first battleship squadron of the Beiyang Fleet had been inserted into the abdomen of the Pacific Fleet. The battle situation was fierce. The first battleship squadron of the Beiyang Fleet had already vaguely cut off the Pacific Fleet's long snake formation in half, and it was divided into two.

As the eye of the formation, the Princess battleship was constantly signaling the flagship Nikola for help. But the signal flag device of the flagship Nikola was destroyed, so Colonel Chalf, the commander-deputy officer of the fleet, had to ask for help from Lofstowski. Without the signal flag device, how should the flagship of the other squadrons of the fleet be issued? If this continues, the Pacific Fleet will be in a dangerous situation of fighting each other.

"Let a gunboat come right now, the flagship needs to be transferred!" Lovstowski began to command with a rare calmness.

...

The main guns of the Dragon Wei were launched at once, and the flagship signal flag device of Nikola was destroyed. A fierce cheer immediately broke out in the bridge command room. The staff in the bridge clearly saw this exciting news from the telescope. The flagship signal flag of the Pacific Fleet was destroyed. At least in a short period of time, the Pacific Fleet would fall into a chaotic situation of fighting each other.

"Good!" Tang Jian couldn't help but praise him.

The gun officer in the main gun room of the Dragon Wei gave Wang Guocheng a thumbs up: "I deserve to be the sharpshooter in the army!"

Wang Guocheng also became more and more courageous as he fought. He licked his slightly chapped lips and said, "I will definitely knock down the Nikola bridge for another hour!"

At this time, Tang Jian deeply realized the importance of communication in naval battles, which is why he began to study radio communication technology as soon as Tang Jian joined the Beiyang Fleet.

In naval battles, manpower often cannot control the wind direction. Once the two fleets fight at sea, the mixture of coal smoke and muzzle smoke fluttering in the wind will reduce visibility, and the smoke and debris formed after the shell explosion can also block the sight of the gunman.

In the long snake array, the signal sent by the flagship at the head of the column often takes ten minutes or even longer to be transmitted to the last ship of the column. This is because the black smoke from the chimney of the battleship makes it difficult for people to identify the signals sent before and after. Each ship has to repeat the signals received by the ship behind him (or in front) themselves. Since many messages must be confirmed and received by each ship before they can be implemented, the time wasted may double.

Only advanced communication technology can overcome the long-standing obstacles in this naval battle, which is why Tang Jian's squadron's mobility is so fast, which is completely beyond advanced radio communication equipment.

The flagship signal flag device that destroyed the enemy fleet in the first time was borrowed from the Japanese Joint Fleet.

When it was on the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, the Japanese Combined Fleet took the lead in destroying the flagship signal flag device of the Dingyuan at the beginning of the war, which made the Beiyang Fleet lose unified command for a while and fall into a situation of fighting on their own. Therefore, the Japanese Combined Fleet achieved great results in the Battle of Dadonggou, the Huanghai Sea.

In the next naval battle between Tang Jian against Yuushi Yusu, Tang Jian borrowed from Yuuki Ito's tactics and destroyed the signal flag device of the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet as soon as the war started, which provided favorable conditions for Tang Jian to eliminate the Japanese Combined Fleet later.

This time, when fighting against the Russian Pacific Fleet, Tang Jian also made such a tactic and tactic in his own way, and knocked off the Nikola's flagship signal flag device with one shot.

Now the Russian Pacific Fleet has no leader, and each ship has not fought. Because the Russian Pacific Fleet uses a one-line snake formation, and its tail is too big to be lost, it does not have the tactics of the three squadrons of Tang Jian.

Fifteen minutes after the Nikola flagship device was destroyed, Lu Wenjing's first battleship squadron pierced into the abdomen of the giant python like a sharp knife, cutting off the Pacific Fleet's laziness. Lan Jianshu's second battleship squadron also arrived at the right time and was entering a fierce attack on the tail of the Pacific Fleet's long snake formation.

Lofstsky arranged two old ironclad ships of 8,000 tons at the end of the formation. These two old ironclad ships were transferred from the Black Sea Fleet to the Far East, namely the "Coffster" and the "St. Petersburg". Both ironclad ships served for more than ten years. After Lofstsky was incorporated into the Pacific Fleet, Lofstsky listed them as battleships, although in strict sense they were not considered battleships.

At this time, the leader of the second battleship squadron of the Beiyang Fleet was the Hurricane, who had just returned from Europe, and the Japanese ship Mikasa, which Tang Jianbing captured without bloodshed in the Battle of Sasebo.

The Breeze is a veritable monarch-class battleship, while the Mikasa is the largest warship in the world at this time. It was improved from the design of the latest British solemn class battleship, with a tonnage of nearly 16,000 tons and a speed of 18 knots.

Therefore, the two veritable military-class battleships fought against two pseudo-battleships. The result can be imagined that the high-performance Krupp Tsang armor on the Mikasa played its advantageous role, blocking most of the shells of the Pacific Fleet. The Hurricane's large-caliber artillery fired the two old ironclad ships on the opposite side, and the ship was tilted.

In the end, the two Russian ironclad ships at the end of the formation could not resist the fierce artillery fire from the second battleship squadron. After not getting the next command from the flagship, they hurriedly turned around and fled to the Weihaiwei Port.

Since then, the Russian Pacific Fleet's one-line snake formation was cut and cut into three pieces by the three squadrons of the Beiyang Fleet. Without the unified command of the flagship, the Pacific Fleet, which was divided into three sections, had to fight each other and fight with the Beiyang Fleet's warships closest to it.

"Commander, Mikasa, the two ironclad ships at the tail of the Russian army are fleeing towards Weihaiwei with their auxiliary ships!" News from the Mikasa came from the radio intelligence room.

"Want to escape?" A smile appeared on Tang Jian's lips, "Let Chu Zhaoliang relax his muscles and bones! He has been at the bottom of the sea for a whole day!"

"Yes, Commander!"

...

"Captain, how long do you have to wait! Listen to it yourself, the sea is full of fighting, we still have to sit on the bottom of the sea and sit on the bench!" Qianlong No. 1 submersible hand Wang Dabao pouted and complained with dissatisfaction.

"Oh, right! I feel that our submarine troops are all raised by stepmothers. The captains of several battleships are fighting on the sea! We won't let our submarine troops eat leftovers and clean the battlefield after the battle is over!" Deputy Captain Li Chun was also a little dissatisfied with his arms around.

"Shut up, the commander said let us, we will wait!" Chu Zhaoliang scolded loudly.

"But we have been at the bottom of the north entrance of Weihaiwei for nearly a day. Since last night, we have been guarding the north entrance like a corpse. People who don't know think that the warships of the Russian Pacific Fleet are all rabbits! Waiting to bump into us!" Wang Dabao muttered.

"That's..." Li Chun was about to speak when Chu Zhaoliang glared back with a look.

Although Chu Zhaoliang pretended to be calmer than all the officers and soldiers in the boat, he was actually more anxious than everyone else.

It was obvious that the original plan was to go to Weihaiwei to hunt and take advantage of the night to hunt several Pacific Fleet warships, but what he didn't expect was that the plan would change in the end, and there would be changes. Not to mention, the commander actually let the submarine attack the strategically meaningless fence. Alas, two precious red-headed torpedoes were wasted.

Later, Tang Jian asked them to lurk at the north and south entrances on the spot, Wang Linjie's three submarines lurked at the south entrance, while Chu Zhaoliang stayed at the bottom of the sea at the north entrance with three submarines.

Chu Zhaoliang heard the violent shelling sound from the sea early in the morning. Until now, it was already afternoon, but the commander still had no intention of moving the submarine force, and there was not even a single order.

It wouldn't be really hit by the crow Wang Dabao, who stayed on the cold bench while sitting on the bench, and waited for the main battleships in the fleet to eat fat, and then asked their submarine troops to pick up what they had left. When they thought of this, Chu Zhaoliang felt a chill in his heart.

Chu Zhaoliang shook his head, walked behind the radio intelligence officer, patted the radio intelligence officer on the shoulder, and asked, "How is it, is there any news from the Longwei?"

The radio intelligence officer replied in a crying voice: "Captain, you asked me the 103rd time today! Captain Li and Wang Dabao have also asked me dozens of times. There is really no news. I really don't believe me and you can listen to it yourself!"

Chu Zhaoliang shook his head helplessly and sighed in his heart: Could it be that we are really raised by stepmothers?

Chu Zhaoliang had just finished sighing and heard a noisy sound from the radio headphones. The radio intelligence officer was nervous. This was the first time the radio had reacted today. He quickly put it on himself, and only heard a familiar sound from the earphones: "The Long Wei called Qianlong No. 1!"

"Qianlong No. 1 received it!"

"The commander's telegram, please make sure that your troops must sink two Russian ironclad ships that are fleeing to the north entrance of Weihaiwei, and take the opportunity to use the wreck to block the north entrance!"

"Yes, Qianlong No. 1 received it!"

The Longwei repeated the order again, and the radio intelligence officer put down his headphones and turned around and said: Captain, have you heard it?"

Chu Zhaoliang looked happy and nodded, "I heard it clearly!"

"Immediately call Wang Linjie and ask his three submarines to block the north entrance together with our troops!" Chu Zhaoliang gave another order to the radio intelligence officer.
