"There are about seven capital ships, and the rest are all small warships of two to three thousand tons? And three supply ships?"
When he saw the report in his hand, Gao Shaoyi couldn't believe his ears. Although he knew that the Rakshasa Empire's fleet would definitely be reduced in number along the way, he did not expect that the reduction would be so severe.
More than 30% of the warships have not been found. They were either thrown here or there along the way. The soldiers on the warships are like refugees. It seems that we are really over-prepared.
"This is the report sent back by our destroyer. The destroyer is currently continuing to sail west to see if they are divided into two fleets. However, I think the result is not significant. Mainly we also received information from many foreign businessmen.
, they also encountered the Rakshasa Empire’s fleet on the way, which was basically the same news as reported by the destroyer.”
The battle was about to begin, and the monkey also came to Gao Shaoyi's side. Normally, this guy would never report the news to Gao Shaoyi personally. This was related to the actual situation of the entire Rakshasa fleet, so he showed up.
"Then what are you waiting for? Immediately order Wang Baichuan's fleet to meet the enemy. Their goal is to kill the Rakshasa Empire's fleet as quickly as possible."
Gao Shaoyi is really firmly on the Diaoyutai now. Although our navy is newly formed and many of them have not experienced their first actual combat, our strength is at least several times theirs, so this naval battle is a killer.
Use a knife.
When the fleet of the Rakshasa Empire just set off, our navy was still very weak, so it was a big war at that time, but they were delayed on the road for too long. The time you delayed on the road is the time for our development.
So now you are no longer our strong enemy.
" yes…"
A group of staff officers in the headquarters immediately issued combat orders. At this moment, more than fifty warships quickly assembled on the sea off the coast of Nandong Province. Their number was more than twice that of the Rakshasa Empire warships. As for their quality, that is
I don’t know how far it goes beyond.
More than two hours later, our fleet finally assembled, and the fleet of the Rakshasa Empire was discovered in the distance. Although it looks majestic on the surface, if you look carefully, you can
I saw that their fleet was very uncoordinated.
The speed of many warships simply cannot keep up, so the speed of the entire fleet has slowed down. It does not matter when cruising at ordinary times, but if the speed of the entire fleet is inconsistent during combat, it will bring them consequences
Fatal crisis.
"The main targets are these seven battleships. Their tonnage exceeds 8,000 tons, and their calibers are above 300 millimeters. However, their rate of fire and range are very low, and they have no advantage over us.
What's more, our artillery shells are more powerful. Although we all have 203mm main guns, our artillery shells can definitely penetrate their shells."
Wang Baichuan said very excitedly while holding a telescope that the fleet under his command was the most powerful fleet in the Suppression Army, with ten heavy cruisers alone.
Coupled with other types of small warships, the number of this fleet has reached fifty. Normally, they are hidden and not all stationed in Lanzhou Port. But now they have to be pulled out for a decisive battle. Naturally, all the warships must be deployed.
Gather them together and smash them with one punch.
"Report to Commander, they are trying to seize the prefix T."
All naval operations in this era used heavy artillery attacks, so if anyone seizes the "T", their fleet can have the largest attack surface.
Of course, this is a general conventional method of warfare, but does our fleet of the suppressing army need to use conventional tactics?
"Then let them seize it slowly. Even if they seize the "T", what's the use? At such a slow speed, they can't form an effective attack. We divide into two columns and directly disperse their fleet.
."
Wang Baichuan said with great confidence that his approach was a rampage. If the strengths of both sides are similar, your approach is likely to involve the entire fleet, but if the strength gap between the two sides is large, the result will be
Just like Wang Baichuan said, one of our charges can kill them.
The ten heavy cruisers immediately changed into two rows. This made the Rakshasa Empire's fleet dumbfounded. They have never seen such a method before. Are you going to rush in directly? Shouldn't you be clenching your fists and bombarding from a distance?
?
"Destroyers are not allowed to participate in the battle on the periphery, and light cruisers are to besiege their remaining warships."
Wang Baichuan issued another order. The destroyer only has more than a thousand tons. If it is hit by a shell of more than 300 mm, the chance of the destroyer surviving is very small. Moreover, this is a deep sea area, and our rescue fleet is
If they don't follow us, it's better to let them keep watch on the outside.
We don't like 5,000-ton light cruisers, but for the Rakshasa Empire's navy, light cruisers of this level are still very powerful. They can at least take care of all your warships except the battleships.
"After all, you are some monkeys who don't understand anything. They have developed so slowly and don't know the essence of current naval operations. Do you still think they are fighting in ancient times? Even if you have advanced weapons, you will never be able to
It is the opponent of our great Rakshasa Empire Navy."
Mihatovich said arrogantly, ordering the flagship to raise the battle flag. All the soldiers had arrived at their posts, and their thoughts were the same as their fleet commander. The navy of the Daqian Empire started to fight.
It turns out there is no rules.
According to their thinking, if a bombardment is to be carried out, of course the entire warship must be turned sideways, so that both the artillery in the front and the artillery in the back can concentrate the maximum firepower to attack you.
But does the Daqian Empire’s fleet need to be like this?
Our maximum range has reached 26 kilometers, and it also has a gun sighting radar, while the maximum range of all the warships of the Rakshasa Empire is only 12.5 kilometers. The two sides are not on the same level at all, why should we
How about fighting you in the same way as before?
"Your Excellency, they actually opened fire."
The observers of the Rakshasa Empire soon discovered the fire on the opposite side, which was at least twenty-five kilometers away...
