Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 185
After the sky darkened, the battle between the joint fleet of the five navies and the Royal Navy of Datang and Ziyue did not stop, but became more intense.

Petru, the commander of the British Royal Navy Expeditionary Fleet, saw that after the war started, only a few super dreadnought battleships in the joint fleet of the five navies could launch a confrontation with some super dreadnought battleships of the Datang and Ziyue navies, while Datang, The super dreadnought battleships of the two navies of Ziyue have a great advantage in the caliber of the main guns and the hit rate.

As a result, the two sides bombarded each other for nearly three hours. The combined fleet of the five navies had sunk eight super dreadnought battleships, while none of the super dreadnought battleships had been sunk on the side of the Datang and Ziyue navies. , So Petru decided to let more warships from the joint fleet of the five navies rush forward to disrupt the formation of the Datang and Ziyue navies, and let the many warships of the two sides mix together to play the role of the five navies combined fleet. Quantitative advantage.

The commanders of the expeditionary fleets of the other four navies expressed their support for Petru's tactic. When the naval battle continued until late at night on January 22, the combined fleet of the five navies and the Royal Navies of Datang and Ziyue were in dense formations. , None of them exist anymore. Thousands of warships from both sides are intertwined. Almost every moment, warships explode or sink into the dark seabed. The explosions and flames almost illuminate this sea area as bright as day.

At this time, not only the battleships of the two sides were bombarding each other, but other types of warships of both sides also joined in this tragic battle.

The Vickers-class destroyer D103, which was responsible for protecting the Vengeance-class super dreadnought battleship Fujing, used four 100mm naval guns and a 76mm rapid-fire gun to successively destroy two Noomi Navy ships that were trying to approach Fujing After the torpedo boat, the captain Feng Xiaogang couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and then shouted loudly to the officers and soldiers on the bridge: "Everyone, keep your eyes open. You must not let the enemy's destroyers and torpedo boats approach Fujing on our side." The USS battleship fires torpedoes!"

At present, all the capital ships of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire and the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire will be named by Su Yi himself, while other types of warships will be named according to their numbers.

In the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, the capital letter M represents the destroyer. Whether it is the system M-class destroyer, the system Vickers-class destroyer, or even the captured destroyers of various types, all of them are capital letter M. at the beginning, followed by a number.

The large armored cruisers of the main fleet of the Royal Navy of the Great Tang Empire begin with a capital letter C, and the light cruisers begin with Q. The large armored cruisers of the main fleet of the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire begin with a capital letter G, and the light cruisers begin with an O. Destroyers start with an N, and submarines of both Royal Navies start with a capital U.

Feng Xiaogang, the captain of destroyer D103, is only 20 years old this year. He is the son of Feng Lin, the former commander of the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Cangyu Empire.

After Feng Lin led the three major fleets of the former Royal Navy of the Cangyu Empire to seek refuge with Su Yi, he has been conscientious and conscientious, and is highly regarded by Wang Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire. Now he has become the captain of the Pennsylvania-class super dreadnought battleship Bin Rong However, the Bin Rong belonged to the Third Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Great Tang Empire. At this time, the Third Fleet was stationed on the east coast of the Great Tang Empire, and did not participate in the largest naval battle in history.

Feng Xiaogang was able to become the captain of a destroyer at such a young age, not at all because of his father Feng Lin's relationship, but because his father Feng Lin thought that Feng Xiaogang was still young and needed more training, otherwise Feng Xiaogang would have been promoted to a destroyer long ago. The captain of the light cruiser.

"Captain, the sonar detector found a submarine approaching the battleship Fujing!" On the bridge of the destroyer D103, a soldier in charge of sonar shouted to Feng Xiaogang.

Su Yi used the sonar detector purchased from the system mall to equip almost every warship of the Royal Navy of the Datang Empire and the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire with this weapon against submarines.

As soon as Feng Xiaogang heard it, he ran to the screen of the sonar detector in a few steps, took a closer look, and immediately turned his head and shouted: "Turn left fifteen degrees and move forward quickly! Get ready to drop depth charges!"

The submarine force of the Royal Navy of the Great Tang Empire was all on the east coast of the Great Tang Empire at this time, so Feng Xiaogang immediately judged that it was an enemy submarine.

Soon destroyer D103 arrived at the location where the submarine was discovered, and then Feng Xiaogang gave an order, and the officers and soldiers of destroyer D103 began to drop 150 kg depth charges into the sea one by one.

Not long after, the bright spot on the screen of the sonar detector disappeared, and Feng Xiaogang couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and then Feng Xiaogang's smile froze immediately, and the super dreadnought battleship Fujing, which was protected by the destroyer D103, suddenly There was a violent explosion.

It turned out that a 356mm artillery shell fired by the Noomi Navy's ocean-class super dreadnought battleship Saima penetrated the deck armor of the super dreadnought battleship Fujing and detonated a secondary battery magazine of Fujing.

More than 20 minutes later, the Fujing super dreadnought battleship with a full load displacement of 31500 tons completely disappeared into the sea.

Destroyer D103 did not receive the task of rescuing the surviving crew of Fujing, but received an order to let destroyer D103 wait for an opportunity to launch a torpedo attack on the enemy battleship.

The small and medium-sized warships of the joint fleet of the five navies used the cover of the night to launch a torpedo attack on the capital ships of the Royal Navy of the Datang Empire and the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire, bringing great damage to the Royal Navy of the Datang and Ziyue Empires. There was no small loss.

Wang Chengliang, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, saw this situation, and immediately decided to draw out a group of light cruisers and destroyers, and adopt the same attack method, adding some troubles to the capital ships of the joint fleet of the five navies.

After Feng Xiaogang received this order, an expression of excitement suddenly appeared on his bitter face, "Full power, we will avenge the brothers of Fujing!"

Among the shells falling like a thunderstorm, the destroyer D103 was lucky enough to approach the Noomi Navy's ocean-class super dreadnought battleship Sentinel less than 500 meters away, and the destroyer D103 was still unscathed. There is no hesitation at this time. Feng Xiaogang directly ordered to use the two quadruple 533mm torpedo tubes on the bow to launch eight torpedoes at the super dreadnought battleship Vigilance. Then Feng Xiaogang commanded the destroyer D103 and began to escape without looking at the results of the battle.

The port rudder of the Super Dreadnought Battleship Vigilance had just been blown up by a shell and had lost control. Although the Noomi naval officers and soldiers on Vigilante had spotted the approaching torpedo, due to the failure of the steering gear, they could only use The rapid-fire guns intercepted. In the end, four of the eight 103mm torpedoes fired by the destroyer D533 hit the super dreadnought battleship Vigilance, and one of the 533mm torpedoes penetrated the front side of the Vigilance. The torpedo compartment of the Alert.

"Haha, we killed a super dreadnought battleship! Brothers, we killed a super dreadnought battleship of the Noomi Navy!" Feng Xiaogang saw that the bow of the warship was almost blown to pieces, so he knew that the warship was a must. There is no doubt about it, the whole person jumped up excitedly.

"Captain, what can we do next?" First officer Lu Honggang asked Feng Xiaogang excitedly.

"Of course it did! How can a super dreadnought battleship avenge Fujing!"

Destroyer D103 was really lucky today. Feng Xiaogang commanded destroyer D103, and then relying on a speed of up to 35 knots, he successfully approached within 2000 meters of the super dreadnought battleship Noomi Navy Jockey, while destroyer D103 was still unscathed. hurt.

After the destroyer D103 fired eight 533mm torpedoes at the super dreadnought battleship Saima, it immediately took a zigzag course and ran all the way to avoid the shells fired at the destroyer D103.

Feng Xiaogang didn't know that the super dreadnought battleship Saima was the main culprit for sinking Fujing. In the end, two of the eight 103 mm torpedoes launched by destroyer D533 hit the super dreadnought battleship Saima, which immediately caused Saima to encounter Severe damage, the sea water poured into the Saima, making the speed of the Saima slower and slower. Soon after, more than a dozen large-caliber artillery shells hit the Saima, sending the Saima completely into the bottom of the sea, and the destroyer D103 also It can be regarded as revenge for Fujing.

The performance of destroyer D103 is not over yet. Under the command of Feng Xiaogang, destroyer D103 sank a former dreadnought battleship and an ironclad battleship, and damaged a battlecruiser.

If the torpedoes on destroyer D103 hadn't been used up, Feng Xiaogang felt that he could sink a few more enemy battleships today.

Destroyer D103, which had exhausted all its torpedoes, received a new order and came to the vicinity of the Colorado-class super dreadnought battleship Corey to fill in the lack of protection around the Corey.

Originally following the Kerui super dreadnought battleship, the warships responsible for helping the Kerui defend against torpedo attacks included a large armored cruiser and two destroyers, but when the destroyer D103 arrived near the Kerui, only one was seriously injured. The large armored cruiser is still protecting the Corey, and the other two destroyers have been sunk.

Seeing this situation, Feng Xiaogang quickly approached the super dreadnought battleship Corey, and then destroyed an Inlobal Navy torpedo boat that was trying to approach the Corey.

The sea battle lasted until dawn and the super dreadnought battleship Corey protected by destroyer D103 was not seriously damaged. However, the shells and depth charges on destroyer D103 were almost exhausted, which made Feng Xiaogang An anxious look appeared on his face.

Destroyer D103 had to replenish ammunition, but the super dreadnought battleship Corey was the only destroyer left, and the other large armored cruiser withdrew from the battlefield at three o'clock in the morning because of its serious injuries.
