After all, as he said before, the most important thing for an army is their spirit. If he takes the lead to retreat at this time, it will be fatal for the spirit of the navy that John Bull means to promote. blow.

Ships can be rebuilt when they are gone, and people can be regenerated when they are gone. But if the energy is gone, it will not be able to recover in a short time. For a country and a nation, this may be the biggest blow. !

Just like China in the 21st century, even if the national power becomes stronger and stronger, there are still some people who will never be able to stand up. It is the greatest tragedy.

So at this time, Abraham has no more choices. All he can choose is to face the difficulties, and Hong Shichang who is opposite him is the same and has not many choices, so no matter what the outcome of this war is, both sides are unfavorable. Maybe they backed down before the outcome of the war came out, because if they backed down at this time, the failure would definitely not only be a military failure, but also face greater failures in other aspects .

So this time, the grand battle between the two sides, especially the navy, is indispensable, so this time Abraham's departure from the port was directly exposed, and there was no intention of covering it up, and the result of such a direct action was When the Far East Fleet sailed away from the port, the intelligence gathering ships on the side quickly surrounded them like sharks smelling blood.

But at this time, Abraham has no time to manage the ships sent by the navies of these other countries here to investigate the situation. Although he knows that doing so is very likely to expose himself, he has no good way, after all, these other countries The warships are all on the high seas. Although John Bull is powerful, it is not a good thing for him to wantonly break the rules?

0 ...

Things were similar to Abraham's expectations. Not long after the Far East Fleet left the port, the news spread to the South China Sea Fleet that was still in the Natuna area through China's dark lines.

The pressure that Hong Shichang faced was not less than that of Abraham, even greater. However, under such circumstances, he would naturally not be afraid to look at the information in his hands. Take a closer look.

"Immediately send six destroyers to conduct reconnaissance at a distance of 100 kilometers in front of the main fleet. Once the main force of the John Bull Navy is found, report it immediately. At the same time, let all the seaplanes of each ship go out to conduct reconnaissance. The main fleet immediately checks the armament and prepares us. Set off immediately." Hong Shichang sent out his order, and after a short while, the six destroyers in the destroyer formation obviously accelerated their speed, and drove towards the west quickly.

And other warships also started preparing for the war one after another, and the atmosphere of the entire fleet became a little tense and a little excited for a while.

After all, the arrival of war means the arrival of death, but at the same time, war is also the greatest source of merit for soldiers, so the entire fleet has basically entered a state of war.

At the same time, the eyes of the entire world are focused on this sea area.

Chapter 240: Battle of Destroyers

On the vast sea, a slender destroyer is cutting through one wave after another at an extremely fast speed, advancing rapidly.

Some soldiers on the warship are resting, and the rest are on high alert. According to their current situation, these soldiers can only take turns to rest, otherwise, various threats may occur during the battle. various problems.

After all, the battle might break out at any time now, and the sailors on the ship naturally did not dare to relax too much. Everyone including the captain did not dare to relax in the slightest in their positions.

At this time, the captain of the destroyer, Wang Xiaozhi, was staying in his command room, sitting cross-legged on his own Hiroki, trying hard to calm himself down, but from the captain's small movements from time to time, he could It can be seen that the captain "[-]" is not at peace at this moment.

This captain is quite young, about 20 years old. This is also one of the characteristics of these clone officers, that is, they are generally relatively young, even the oldest one is less than 40 years old. The general age of these officers is 20 to about 30 years old.

This young captain is obviously one of them. Although these young officers have extremely proficient combat skills and various combat plans, they are still a bit short in war experience. After all, they are all They have never experienced a real war, so it is normal for them to feel a little flustered when they face this situation.

At this time, a young voice came in from outside the command room: "Captain, we are less than 300 kilometers away from Li Jiapo, what should we do now and move on?"

After Wang Xiaozhi heard it, he thought for a while and replied: "We will continue to move forward and enter a state of first-level combat readiness. From now on, a battle may break out at any time. Let the crew not relax their vigilance."

The voice outside the door immediately replied: "Understood, Captain." After finishing speaking, the people outside the door hurried out and began to prepare.

After hearing the news, Wang Xiaozhi also walked down from Guangmu, asked the command room to go out, and looked at the surrounding sea.

Wang Xiaozhi looked around for a while, and then asked the adjutant who was busy next to him, "What time is it now, adjutant? How many hours is it before dark?"

副官听到之后愣了一下然后马上回答道:“报告舰长,现在是西元1932年3月15日,下午2点30分离天黑大约还有不到四个小时。”

"That's it, continue to be vigilant." Wang Kao looked at the sun that was gradually setting to the west, and said thoughtfully.

The destroyer continued to move forward, and finally at 4:10 in the afternoon, the radar soldiers on the ship first issued a warning, and more than ten minutes later, the watchmen on the ship also found the enemy.

At this time, the destroyer Jiangxia of the South China Sea Fleet could finally see the two destroyers of John Bull. Since both were destroyers, even if they spotted the enemy at the same time, there was no way to attack at the same time due to the range of the naval guns.

After all, only small-caliber artillery is installed on the destroyer. Although the maximum range of these artillery can reach more than ten kilometers, the accuracy is not very good after all?

John Bull's destroyer actually discovered the opponent earlier than Jiangxia. After all, the sun had already set to the west at this time. For Jiangxia, which was heading west, John Bull's destroyer had an advantage in this regard.

Chapter 240: Battle of Destroyers -->> (page 1/2),

John Bull's destroyer actually discovered the opponent earlier than Jiangxia. After all, the sun had already set to the west at this time. For Jiangxia, which was heading west, John Bull's destroyer had an advantage in this regard.

Fortunately, these destroyers of the People's Liberation Army are all equipped with radars. Although their performance is average, they can play a certain role after all.

At this time, the captain of John Bull's destroyer was quite happy, because they found that there was only one enemy, which meant that they could occupy a great advantage, and they themselves had the approximate data of this kind of destroyer in China. I think (official disclosure) is quite understood, so naturally I am full of confidence.

On the other side, Wang Xiaozhi is also full of confidence. He is more confident in his warship, and he is also full of confidence in his soldiers. Moreover, there is another destroyer not far behind him that is quickly following. come up.

And in the face of this situation, even if you really can't beat it, can you still run away? You must know that the speed of the Jiangxia destroyer can reach more than 37 knots. , There are almost no warships that can exceed this speed, which is one of the reasons why Wang Xiaozhi can be very stable.

However, I don’t know about those John Bulls on the opposite side of this news, and the People’s Liberation Army can be said to know the news about John Bulls. After all, these things are no longer secrets in the 21st century?

When the warships of the two sides gradually approached, the Jiangxia began to turn. Since the artillery of the Jiangxia was distributed along the center line, the Jiangxia could exert its maximum firepower after turning.

At the same time, when the warship turned to a certain angle, the five 130mm dual-purpose guns on the warship began to shoot.

Although at this distance, the shooting accuracy is very problematic, but with the sophisticated fire control system and the closer distance between the two sides, the accuracy of the shelling is also constantly improving. At the same time, John Bull's warships are also successively The counterattack continued, and the two sides basically had no way to hit each other at such a distance, so they could only shoot continuously.

At this time, the commander of the John Bull destroyer on the opposite side did not look very good because the speed of the ship is too fast now. It is not easy to fire artillery salvos at such a speed, let alone when the distance between the two sides is very close. Even now, John Bull's two destroyers haven't hit the Jiangxia with a single shell.

The closest shell fired was still more than 200 meters away from the Jiangxia. According to this situation, what would happen before dark, the John Bull commander couldn't tell.

Moreover, as the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, some of the shells fired by the Jiangxia were already away from John Bull's. Commander Niu was already feeling a little uneasy.

Finally, when the distance between the two sides was close to eight kilometers away, a 130mm high-explosive bomb fired from the Jiangxia directly hit the front deck of a destroyer of John Bull.

There was a hole in the front deck, and the sailors on the front deck suffered heavy losses, but the Liba ship was not threatened, after all, the shell was fired above the waterline.

However, when the distance between the two sides was shortened to this range, the shelling on the Jiangxia was already quite accurate. From time to time, a shell would hit John Bull's destroyer, and John Bull on the opposite side was also struggling to fight back. with.
