Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 250
Like Gorjay, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Navy of the Gisk Empire, Leonid, who commanded the main force of the entire Royal Navy of Orensa, also had some hesitation about this operation to encircle and wipe out a squadron of the Datang Navy.

Leonid is the current Minister of the Navy of the Orenza Empire. He also participated in the fierce battle with the naval fleet under Su Yi. At that time, the navy under Su Yi was also known as the independent fleet.

Later, after Mikhailo, the former Minister of the Navy of the Orensa Empire, surrendered to the naval fleet under Su Yi, Leonid, who was originally just the captain of a dreadnought battleship, was exceptionally promoted to be the new Minister of the Navy of the Orensa Empire, and The title was promoted to Marquis, and the dreadnought battleship that Leonid was on had sunk in the naval battle of Anbo Port.

To be honest, for the Datang Navy, Leonid, the Minister of the Navy of the Orenza Empire, has a great psychological shadow. If Leonid can choose, he will never face the Datang Navy on the battlefield again. The Royal Navy of Renza has reasons to fight.

On the bridge of the super dreadnought battleship Valiant, the flagship of the Royal Navy of the Orenza Empire, Leonid said to the captain of the Valiant, Makaruk, in a deep voice: "Gorjay of the Gisk Navy has sent a telegram. The squadron of the Third Fleet of the Datang Navy has been discovered. According to the previously formulated combat plan, we ordered the 32 super dreadnought battleships and 32 battlecruisers of our Orenza Royal Navy to immediately line up and prepare for the battle. Fight against the Tang Navy!"

The Bravery is the first ship of the Bravery-class super dreadnought battleship built by the Orenza Empire. The Bravery-class super dreadnought battleship has five dual-mounted 356mm main guns. These sixteen brave ships are all in the main fleet of the Royal Navy of Orensa.

In addition to these sixteen Valor-class ships, the main fleet of the Royal Navy of Orenza also has sixteen Valor-class super dreadnought battleships. The Valor-class is equipped with five dual-mounted 343mm main guns.

Makaruk, the captain of the Bravery, asked with some hesitation: "Commander, can we win this time?"

Makaruk also participated in the battle with Su Yi's independent fleet, and he also felt a little afraid of the current Datang Navy.

Leonid sighed and said: "Although the Datang Navy on the opposite side is only a squadron, it has 36 super dreadnought battleships equipped with 406mm main guns and 36 super dreadnought battleships equipped with 406mm main guns. Battlecruisers, but our Orensa Royal Navy, Jisk Navy, and Hessel Navy will have a great advantage in the number of capital ships. I hope that the next naval battle will allow our Orensa Royal Navy to Shame on the Navy."

After a pause, Leonid continued: "This is just a squadron of the third main fleet of the Datang Navy. If our navies of the three countries do not dare to fight together, then how will we fight the war against the Datang Empire?" Go on! Not to mention defeating this squadron of the Datang Navy, the 300 million Hessel Army will not be able to cross the Wessel Strait safely!"

At 3016 o'clock in the morning on August 36th, [-] in the Tang Dynasty, the first fleet of the Third Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty was about [-] meters away from the three naval fleets of Jisk, Orenza, and Hessel. The [-] Jingyuan-class super dreadnought battleships on the Datang Royal Navy's side first launched a salvo of main guns at the opponent.

360 rounds of 406 mm artillery shells landed in front of the three naval fleets of Jisk, Orenza, and Hessel. The first salvo of the main guns of the 36 Jingyuan-class super dreadnought battleships fired, and none of the main gun shells hit the ground. The opponent's warship was hit, but some shells landed only about two to 300 meters away from the opponent's warship.

Seeing that the super dreadnought battleships of the Datang Navy opened fire, the super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers of the three navies of Jisk, Orenza, and Hesel immediately launched a counterattack, using their main guns to attack the 36 ships of the Datang Navy. Yuan-level super dreadnought battleships launched the first round of salvo, but unfortunately none of them hit, and the super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers of the navies of Jisk, Orenza, and Hessel, the positions where the shells fired fell, and the distance The nearest Jingyuan-class super dreadnought battleship is at least 2000 meters away.

Jingyuan-class super dreadnought battleships and Zhiyuan-class battlecruisers, compared with the super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers of the three navies of Jisk, Orensa, and Hessel, not only occupy an advantage in the caliber and range of the main guns, because Both the Jingyuan class and the Zhiyuan class are equipped with advanced artillery targeting systems, so in terms of the artillery hit rate, the Jingyuan class and the Zhiyuan class have an absolute upper hand.

The second round of main gun salvos of 36 Jingyuan-class super dreadnought battleships achieved considerable results. A 406mm armor-piercing shell hit a Valiant-class super dreadnought battleship Serai in the Royal Navy of Orenza. A turret equipped with twin 343mm main guns on the Austrian, and the 305mm armor of the main gun turret on the Seraio, failed to withstand the 406mm armor-piercing shell. After a violent explosion, the main gun of the Seraio The gun turret was completely destroyed, and the bones of dozens of officers and soldiers of the Orenza Royal Navy remained in the turret, leaving only a blurred piece of flesh and blood on the ruins of the turret.

In addition to the Seraio, there is also a battlecruiser of the Orenza Navy, two super dreadnought battleships of the Jisk Royal, a dreadnought battleship of the Hessel Navy, and 36 Jingyuan-class super dreadnoughts. In the second round of the battleship's main gun salvo, I tasted the taste of 406mm armor-piercing shells.

The dreadnought battleship of the Hesel Navy felt the most bitter taste. It was directly penetrated by a 406mm armor-piercing shell through the 280mm waterline armor, detonating an ammunition storehouse, and with the ammunition storehouse A large number of 305mm artillery shells were killed, and this dreadnought battleship with a full load displacement of 21000 tons was blown into two pieces at once, and quickly sank to the sea surface. In less than 10 minutes, it completely disappeared on the sea surface.

When the distance between the two fleets was about 3000 meters, because the battle lines of both sides were fighting for the T prefix, the battle lines of the two fleets became a "eight" shape, although no one seized the most favorable T. head, but both fleets can maximize their sidestring firepower.

As the distance between the fleets of the two sides continues to narrow, the losses of the three navies of Jisk, Orenza, and Hessel are also increasing. Of course, the Royal Navy of Datang is not without losses. The navies of Lensa and Hessel are much smaller.

In the new round of main gun salvos of the Jingyuan-class super dreadnought battleship and the Zhiyuan-class battlecruiser on the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty, more than a dozen capital ships of the three navies of Jisk, Orenza, and Hessel were killed. Hit, even a super dreadnought and a battlecruiser, almost certainly, will be sunk soon.

On the bridge of the super dreadnought battleship Relentless, the flagship of the Royal Navy of the Gisk Empire, Gorjay, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Gisk Royal Navy, said angrily: "We can't continue fighting like this, these super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers of the Datang Navy Its main guns were too accurate. In less than half an hour since the battle started, our Gisk Royal Navy had already sunk two super dreadnought battleships and three battlecruisers, as well as many super dreadnoughts. Dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers were injured, but the Datang Navy didn't even sink a single capital ship, only a few were damaged."

The captain of the Ruthless, Larion, immediately said: "Commander, after all, our three navies still have a numerical advantage in terms of capital ships, and as the distance between the battle lines of the two sides draws closer, the super dreadnought battleships of our three navies And the main guns of the battlecruisers will pose an increasing threat to the capital ships of the Datang Navy, so at this time, we can only grit our teeth and persevere."

Gorjay, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Gisk Navy, hesitated for a moment and said, "Let the battle lines of the Orensa Navy and the Hessel Navy follow closely, and don't just let our Royal Navy of Gisk be at the forefront!"

At present, the Jisk Navy is composed of super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers. The battle line closest to the Datang Navy is composed of Jingyuan-class super dreadnought battleships and Zhiyuan-class battlecruisers. The Jisk Navy is also Among the navies of the three countries, the biggest loss is currently.

On the bridge of the super dreadnought battleship Valiant, the flagship of the Royal Navy of Orensa, Leonid looked at an Orensa Navy battlecruiser that was about to sink in the distance, and the corner of his mouth twitched. This is already Orensa The third capital ship of the Royal Navy sank, and it was less than half an hour before the battle started.

Makaruk, the captain of the Bravery, said bitterly: "I didn't expect that this super dreadnought battleship and this battlecruiser newly built by the Datang Empire would be so powerful. The combined navies of our three countries have 74 super dreadnoughts. There are battleships, seventy battlecruisers and six dreadnought battleships, while the third fleet of the Datang Empire has only 36 super dreadnought battleships and 36 battlecruisers, but now our navies of the three countries are being defeated by the Datang Navy. The squadron is pressing and fighting."

Leonid pondered for a while and said: "It's too late to say anything else now. Since we are determined to drive this squadron of the Tang Empire out of the Wesel Strait, our navies of the three countries can only do our best!"

In order to open up the sea channel of the Wessel Strait, the Gisk Navy and the Orenza Navy are willing to work hard, but this time, the Hesel Navy, who just came to cooperate with them, is not willing to work hard with the Datang Navy now.

On the bridge of the super dreadnought battleship Mercy, the flagship of the Hessel Navy, Grishenka, the captain of the Mercy, frowned and said to Daviddok, Commander of the Hessel Navy: "Your Excellency, as of now, we have One battlecruiser and two dreadnought battleships were sunk, and several capital ships were damaged, the strength of the Datang Navy is much stronger than our previous estimates."

Commander Davydok sighed and said: "The Datang Navy deserves to be the number one navy in the world. Just one squadron has such a strong strength. It seems that it is almost impossible to win today. Now not only our Hercules The Searle Navy has lost a battlecruiser and two dreadnought battleships, the Gisk Navy and the Orenza Navy have also lost several capital ships, and the Datang Navy has not lost a single battleship. .”

Mercy's captain Grishenka asked hesitantly: "Commander, according to the telegrams sent by the Jisk Navy and the Orenza Navy, the navies of these two countries want to fight the squadron of the Datang Navy. , what should we do next?"

Commander Davydok shook his head and said: "Our Hessel Navy does not have the capital to fight against the Datang Navy. Immediately convey my order, and the battle line turns to the west, and the battle line with the Datang Navy The lines are drawn apart."

Just as the battle lines of the Gisk Navy and the Orenza Navy were trying to get closer to the battle line of the Datang Navy, they did not expect that the remaining six super dreadnought battleships, five battlecruisers and four The battle line formed by the dreadnought battleships turned around and retreated westward.

This made Gorjay, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of Gisk, and Leonid, commander of the Royal Navy of Orensa, couldn't help cursing. At this moment, a super dreadnought battleship of the Hessel Navy was suddenly shot by two 406 mm The shells hit at the same time, causing the super dreadnought battleship to falter all of a sudden, and also emitted thick smoke hundreds of meters high, and there was a very dull explosion sound inside the hull.

Immediately after this super dreadnought battleship of the Hessel Navy, another more violent explosion occurred. The explosion occurred in the middle and rear of this super dreadnought battleship. Almost instantly, the entire battleship was engulfed in smoke and flames One of the main turrets was even thrown tens of meters into the air by the violent explosion, and a large number of hull fragments, including the corpses of some crew members, were thrown into the air and scattered on the deck and in the surrounding sea water.

The super dreadnought battleship of the Hethel Navy immediately broke into two pieces from the rear mainmast, and the rear was blown into a pile of wreckage. After being separated from the front, it capsized and sank to the left. The bow was lifted within seconds of the explosion. Leaving the sea surface, after falling into the water, a large amount of water flooded into the break at the rear, and it sank rapidly. Then the entire front half of the ship bowed upwards, and the rear sank vertically into the sea.

Gorjay, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Navy of Gisk, saw the super dreadnought battleship of the Hessel Navy, which was sunk in an instant, and he couldn't help showing a little fear in his eyes, but he muttered two words: "It deserves it!"

Gorjay turned his head and said to Larion, the captain of the Ruthless: "Immediately send a report to Daviddock who is in command of the Hethel Navy, and ask what the Hethel Navy wants to do? If the Hethel Navy dares to Run away, our Jisk Empire will definitely not let them go!"
