Betty didn't know that an invisible net had already covered himself and the remaining warships of the United Fleet. At this time, he was trying his best to deal with the Chinese warships that were like maggots attached to their bones. Under the cover of intensive firepower, a ship
From time to time, a Chinese destroyer flashed past the end of the searchlight pole. Every time they appeared, it meant that a fatal torpedo had been fired. Although the torpedo hit rate dropped significantly at such a distance, the number was equally deadly. From their attacks
Starting from the beginning, in less than half an hour, ten warships of various types were already attacking the blue waves, including two heavy cruisers. -,ww※w.23○wx.co■m
In order to drive away these evil wolves, the destroyers and light cruisers in the combined fleet broke away from the fleet and killed them. But unfortunately, they were immediately bombarded by Chinese heavy cruisers and even battle cruisers outside the searchlight range.
The flames soaring into the sky gradually disappeared from the sea.
Betty was able to confirm at this time that the Chinese had the technology to aim without turning on searchlights, but it was useless to know that. He could only hold on on the sea surface and at the same time determine the position according to the flash of the enemy ship's shelling to fight back, but like this
There is no big point in fighting back. Unless you are lucky, it is difficult to hit the target. Just imagine how it is possible to hit the target if you cannot even determine the distance. No matter how experienced the gunner is, he cannot do this. The only use is to force those destroyers to sneak attack.
Don't dare to get too close, so that the hit rate of those deadly torpedoes can be lower, but the consumption of shells will be very serious.
"There is no other way but this, otherwise most of our warships will be killed by torpedoes tonight." He said helplessly to the officer who reported the ammunition consumption.
What he didn't know was that there would be a larger naval battle waiting for him after dawn.
The long night of sailing finally passed, and when the dawn appeared on the horizon, his fleet had only six battleships left, and even the losses of the cruisers and destroyers exceeded one-third, but even so
, this fleet still has one hundred and twenty warships of various types, and of course at least half of these warships are injured to varying degrees.
Fortunately, the attacks by the Chinese warships also stopped at this time. This is understandable. After a whole night of fighting, with their terrifying rate of fire, the shells were probably almost consumed. The same was true for Betty, but his results were very few.
Poor, he only sank two destroyers, and also hit a heavy cruiser 20 kilometers away with a 305mm shell, but even this result cost him almost a third of his energy.
Two main gun shells.
"General, can we still go back?" an officer said bitterly.
Betty did not answer. He could not answer this question. Since the Chinese battle cruisers had always followed them, the Chinese aircraft carriers had naturally followed them, which meant that he was about to usher in bombers that would cover the sky again.
There were also a total of seven fast battleships. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that until now, those seven fast battleships had not shown up.
"Where will they be?" The guy frowned at the chart. At this time, an officer next to him touched him and said: "General, there is no need to look for them, they are here."
In the mist on the sea in the distance, a row of hazy shadows gradually emerged, and the majestic bodies of the seven battleships became increasingly clear.
"Well. At least it's a fair fight." Betty said with a wry smile.
After a night of suffering on the sea, the extremely tired Allied sailors were awakened by the shrill sound of battle sirens. When they discovered the powerful fleet blocking the front, these sailors calmed down. As Betty said, at least this time.
It is a fair battle. A real naval battle. They are not afraid of such a battle. The British, French and Italian sailors, who were tortured by Chinese carrier-based aircraft and battle cruisers, were in a state of grief and indignation. On the contrary, their fighting spirit was high. Under the guidance of their young acting fleet commander
Under command, rush bravely towards the enemy.
At this time, a hundred kilometers behind them, the carrier-based aircraft on the two aircraft carriers in Dingzhen were also pushed onto the runway facing the rising sun. They began to taxi with the sound of the propellers turning. Next to these two aircraft carriers, six aircraft
The battle cruisers who were fighting fiercely at night were each leaning against a large supply ship. During the rotation of the crane's boom, large-caliber artillery shells were hoisted to the deck, and then pushed into the ammunition depot by carts, and then waited.
The next battle is coming soon.
Although he did not see this scene, General Betty, who was rushing towards the enemy, could imagine that he had no way out at this time and could only fight and fight with all his strength, even if he died in the sea.
Amidst the roars of countless battles, the Allied fleet fiercely charged at the enemies blocking their escape path. At this time, in the fleets of Spain, Brazil, and Argentina on the opposite side, one 280 naval gun was already spitting out flames.
Among the water columns stirred up by the shell explosion, six British and Italian battleships drew a very beautiful arc on the sea, slicing towards the enemy's rear amidst the roar of 356 or 305 mm naval guns.
The seven fast battleships on the opposite side quickly increased their speed to the limit of thirty-two knots and turned around at the same time on the sea. Soon the two sides formed the most classic battle line and poured cannonballs at each other.
With the explosion of fire, an era slowly came to an end.
The fate of the Allied Combined Fleet has been doomed. They are now at least a thousand kilometers away from the Strait of Gibraltar. Even under normal circumstances, they have to sail for more than a day and night. During the day, there are battle fleets and air strikes, and at night, battle patrol formations attack at night. It is a long and long journey.
There may be one warship left behind for every kilometer forward during the voyage. Maybe they will eventually have some that can complete this journey, but the number will definitely not be too many. Even at this time, even the British cabinet has already transferred the main force of the navy.
The fleet was removed from their order of operations.
But even so, the Allied Powers are not ready to surrender to Yang Feng. His conditions are too harsh and there is no room for acceptance. The cession of territory is no longer important. The compensation of 30 billion gold pounds is the most important thing. This means that the Allied Powers Group Army
In the foreseeable future, they will forever be slaves to China, Germany, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and will never have a chance to stand up.
At this time, the Allies are no longer fighting for pure interests. They are fighting for their own future. Although they also understand that the enemy is too powerful, people can't help but have some illusions. Besides, the recent situation has
Judging from the battle situation, it is not that they have no possibility of blocking the Chinese on the battlefield. For example, in Chelyabinsk, the Russian army led by Grand Duke Nicholas firmly blocked the Chinese.
At this time, if we try our best to fight for it, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope? Don't ask for too much, even if the amount of compensation is reduced to several billion, it is barely acceptable. Thirty billion, it makes people shudder just thinking about it.
Of course, the threat from the Chinese navy is also imminent. In order to deal with this powerful fleet, the British began to mine mines desperately. Almost all the ports they could think of were blocked with mines. In addition, in order to ensure the smooth flow of the English Channel transportation line, the British and French hands
All the submarines, small destroyers, and torpedo boats they own are concentrated in the strait. At this point, they are relatively confident that the total number of such small warships in the two countries is hundreds, and the shipyards can continue to manufacture new ones.
, especially torpedo speedboats. Small boats of dozens of tons can be built quickly. Equipped with a high-power diesel engine or even a gasoline engine, it can easily run more than 30 knots. Adding torpedoes is a deadly weapon.
In addition, there is air defense. All the major British arsenals are working hard to produce anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, especially the large-caliber anti-aircraft guns used to defend the liberators, 75, 88, 105, whatever they can think of.
If it's too late to build it now, just use the Army cannon to modify it, especially high-end products like time fuzes. There are also air-proof balloons. All the major industrial cities in the UK are filled with balloons of all sizes, and some even have
They are connected to each other with iron wires and protected from high altitude to low altitude. There are also fighter jets. Although we know that the performance cannot reach the level of China, a large number of fighter jets are still produced in factories. Anyway, this kind of wood plywood is also simple to manufacture.
"Your Majesty, it is said that the British are still developing a suicide plane specially designed to hit the liberators, and are recruiting volunteers to pilot it." Attendant Yuan said to His Majesty the Emperor with a smile.
"Well, they are quite creative." Emperor Yang couldn't help but be speechless for a while. The poor kid actually forced himself to this point. This was following the rhythm of the Japanese in history. Of course, he also understood.
The British are just putting on a show, showing themselves their determination to fight to the end, and then adding leverage to negotiations. No one will really take this kind of thing seriously, and the British are not fools.
But since they have said so, of course they have to give them a slap in the face and burst all the bubbles of their illusions. Of course, there is nothing new about bombing London. The Liberator of Budapest Airport has been bombed more than a dozen times, and the light bomb was dropped.
The people in London have long been accustomed to it, and it has little visual impact on them.
"How is the construction of Prague's airport going?" Emperor Yang asked.
"It's done." Chief Yuan Shi said.
"So fast?"
"Your Majesty, they already have a large airport there. Although it only serves fighter jets to take off and land, the runway is only slightly extended because of its large scale," said Chief Yuan.
"Okay then, bomb Edinburgh and Glasgow. We will let the British people know that there is no place in their land that we cannot reach." Emperor Yang said with a grin. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, novels are better
