Two light cruisers and two destroyers rushed over quickly, and they fired at the Daqian Empire's destroyer as quickly as possible.
The destroyers of the Daqian Empire did not leave immediately. Instead, they used their own maneuvering speed to conduct reconnaissance around the entire fleet. Since the Rakshasa Empire's fleet has been discovered, there must be accurate news. Only the last Send the news back quickly so that our superiors can make arrangements.
To be honest, this Daqian Empire destroyer was also very surprised. You must know that they have deployed a total of four levels of reconnaissance lines. Now they have reached the second level of reconnaissance lines. They are only 240 nautical miles away from Nanzhou City. If we hadn't discovered it, these guys might have marched directly to the city.
Why is it so slow?
Mihatovich watched his warship slowly move up in depression. They had moved at this slow speed along the way, mainly because this speed saves raw materials.
If they go a little faster, the coal on their ship will not be enough. There are no ports to replenish coal for them along the way. Even the corridors of the warship are dark. They have to load all the places with fuel. Okay, otherwise you won't be able to get through it at all.
"Captain, this is a bit different from the news we got before. There are a full 30% less warships, especially their main ships. There were originally eleven main ships, and now there are only six left. The main ships, are they divided into two fleets?"
The scouts on the Daqian Empire destroyer had already finished summarizing the news. When they summarized the news, they couldn't believe that this was the powerful Rakshasa Empire fleet in front of them.
"They should have caused a lot of trouble on the road. After finishing these things, we have to retreat quickly. Even though they are already toothless tigers, we only have one destroyer now, and we can never be their opponent. .”
The captain is very calm at the moment. He has already seen that the other party wants to outflank him. It's just that your wishful thinking is good. Unfortunately, the ability of your men is a little bit worse. With your breaking speed, even if You started planning two hours in advance, so I have nothing to be afraid of.
"We don't have much fuel, so we can only rush through them. According to my calculations, we can definitely rush through."
The first mate spread out the map from the side. They had been wandering on the left side for a long time. If they wanted to return to the northern port, they had to pass between the two Rakshasa Empire warships.
"Let the chief engineer and others stay vigilant. We have to rush over quickly this time. If we make another big circle, there will not be enough fuel on the ship."
The speed of the destroyer is fast enough, but due to the tonnage problem, there is not much fuel on the ship, so the reconnaissance ship must take some risks to go back. If it wants to make another big circle, it doesn't matter that the opponent's speed is not fast enough, but other people's There are so many warships that they can completely surround themselves.
The battle alarm was sounded throughout the ship. They also knew that it was a life-or-death moment, but in order to inform the superiors about the Rakshasa Empire fleet, it was worth the risk.
"Reporting to the commander, the headquarters has sent a message to us to move to the west immediately!"
Just when they were about to make a life-threatening move, the order from the headquarters had been issued. The naval headquarters knew that they did not have sufficient energy on board, so they would not let them take risks. Our fleet will be assembled soon.
, as long as their destroyer continues to sail westward, the Rakshasa Empire's fleet cannot pursue it westward anyway.
They are coming from the west, and they will never change their course for a destroyer. If they are willing, they can continue to chase west. It depends on how much energy you still have on the ship. If all the energy is available by then,
If they are used up, our fleet will start to come out to capture prisoners.
"Keep the original course unchanged and continue heading west."
After receiving the telegram, the captain immediately issued an order. The fuel on their ship could still allow them to sail seven hundred nautical miles. As long as they kept reporting their position to the superiors, someone would come to take them home.
On the way back to the destroyer, the fleet of the Rakshasa Empire had already laid a dragnet. They thought that there would be no problem in capturing the destroyer. Even if they could not catch it, they could sink the destroyer. But they did not expect that the destroyer would be captured.
He actually continued walking westward.
"Your Excellency General, should we pursue him?"
The combat staff under Mihatovich also noticed this. Originally, everyone was thinking of using the big to bully the small, so we had to get off to a good start. Even though it was just a small destroyer from the other side, we didn’t care.
, the important thing is to get a good sign, but I didn’t expect that such a small destroyer would not give up.
"Let them go. They don't carry much fuel. If they continue to go west from this position, they must be thinking of picking them up after the battle is over. It will depend on our performance later. If the winner is
If we say so, then we will take them back as prisoners, or let them starve to death at sea."
Mihatovich sneered, just as the captain thought just now, it would never be possible for the entire fleet to change course just because of a destroyer. They must continue to rush towards Nanzhou City now.
"After preparing for such a long time, we thought we could fight them, but we didn't expect that we would leave the battlefield immediately."
The captain on the destroyer said helplessly. To be honest, they did think a little wrong. They originally thought that the Rakshasa Empire's fleet would hide and then escape them to the northern seas. In fact, the Rakshasa Empire's fleet
I have no intention of hiding at all. Look at the way he is now, he is clearly here to fight you.
"Captain, just rest assured. Based on the telegram we just sent back, no matter how they fight this time, our contribution will definitely be indispensable. Without our report, would the surrounding warships be able to assemble?"
The first mate next to him said with a smile. His words also made everyone in the command room laugh, but what he said was the truth. They were the first people to discover the Rakshasa Empire fleet. This credit must not be lost.
Yes, it's a pity that they won't be able to participate in the upcoming battle, but our brothers also have enough power to deal with them. This chapter has been completed!
