On the Běi Jīng, Zhang Chaoqun's face was so heavy that it could drip water.

"Still can't contact the Songshan?"

"Yes, just half an hour ago, the Songshan completely lost contact. We didn't receive a farewell call, and we weren't sure if the Songshan had been sunk. ”

"Increase the frequency, I want to know the result as soon as possible!" Zhang Chaoqun couldn't help but be nervous. You must know that the Taishan and Songshan are definitely the main warships of the National Defense Force, and they have been the symbol of the Chinese Navy for two years. Even with the later appearance of the battleship Běi Jīng, the two heavy cruisers still had a strong influence in the navy. Originally, when he received the farewell call from Taishan, Zhang Chaoqun already felt extremely sad, and now he suddenly lost the news of the Songshan, which made Zhang Chaoqun feel crazy.

"How many other warships can be contacted?" Although they knew that they had suffered huge losses, they didn't even have a frigate around them. Zhang Chaoqun still feels great distress. Thinking of the fairly large naval formation when it just went north, and then looking at the current depression, it is a huge contrast.

"Eight destroyers, six cruisers! Now they have gotten rid of the enemy and are massing towards the designated sea area. ”

There are only fourteen left! Damn little rì Ben! I lost more than half of it in such a short period of time! Zhang Chaoqun said in a low voice.

"Commander, we will definitely avenge this revenge in the future." Ma Lu opened his mouth to comfort.

"Well, when our battleship is launched, we will definitely fight with the Rì Ben Navy again. What we lost today, I want to make the little rì repay tenfold. Zhang Chaoqun clenched his fists, there was no sadness on his face, only a strong confidence and high fighting spirit.

"Report to the commander, the navy is gathering and is rapidly pursuing us, the purpose of which is to completely encircle us." The deputy captain of the Běi Jīng ran anxiously into the command room and said.

"Damn, little rì really won't give up. Order all ships to advance to the waters around Qingdao with all their might! Zhang Chaoqun said in a deep voice. The difference in the military strength of the Chinese navy is still too large, and the two super dreadnoughts dispatched by the navy this time have not suffered any damage, so it can be said that the navy still has the strength to fight. On the other hand, in China, there are only the battleship Běi Jīng and more than a dozen large and small warships left with insufficient ammunition, and if it is besieged by two battleships of the same class, Zhang Chaoqun is not sure that the Běi Jīng will be able to withstand it. The battleship will not sink easily, but that does not mean that it will not sink. If a bullet is taken in a vital part, or if the armor below the waterline is penetrated, the battleship will only sink faster than other ships. Now Zhang Chaoqun can only hope that Feng Shaoshuai's followers will solve this big trouble.

The pursuit battle was once again staged on the sea, but the scale was expanded and it became a battle at the formation level. The side being pursued changed from a rìben battleship to a Chinese battleship.

Qingdao seas. In the north, along the coastline, a large fleet appeared, most of the ships were in the tonnage of about 10,000 tons, and more than a dozen were even larger. These ships are all merchant ships in appearance, and they are also affixed with various logos, "China National Petroleum Export Corporation No. 22!" ”

"The No. 8 ship of the China Post * Government Company!"

“……”

If Feng Yong came here to take a look, he would definitely regard it as an event to be held in the future, and the symbol of these warships was the billboard made up by those pervasive advertisers......

These were a hundred armed merchant ships assembled by Feng Yong, who came to the waters of Qingdao from Bohai Bay, ready to converge with the naval formation to meet the attack of the combined fleet.

These merchant ships all have hideous muzzles exposed, which look very deterrent. And the people who walked around these armed merchant ships were no longer pot-bellied merchants, let alone those hard-working coolies, but a soldier of great perseverance. The rapid development of the Chinese navy in the past two years is enough to ensure that China has sufficient forces to control these armed merchant ships and enter the battle in the shortest possible time.

Buzz - the sky sounded with the sound of motors, two slender planes drilled out of the clouds, rushing towards the vast sea, this is a Chinese-produced Flying Dragon-1 reconnaissance aircraft, this is the first time to put into actual combat.

Soon, all the armed merchant ships got the news and quickly headed for the deep sea. In a large-scale naval melee like this, staying in the offshore waters is likely to spread to the mainland. Therefore, the navy placed the battlefield ten nautical miles from the mainland. At the same time, it was completely shrouded in the range of Chinese bombers. If the plane is finally put into actual combat, it will inevitably cause enough damage to Rìmoto.

Doodle...... The sharp jǐng newspaper sounded, and in the large formation of armed merchant ships, the huge figure of the běi jīng appeared in front of everyone's eyes. At the same time, it is surrounded by nearly ten warships, large and small. These were all problems with the power system in the naval battle, and with the superb speed of the cruiser and destroyer, they caught up with the Běi Jīng and escorted it by his side.

The Běi Jīng slowly entered the protective circle of the armed merchant ships, and then the merchant ships approached to replenish the war supplies such as fuel and artillery shells. At the same time, other warships also accepted the denial. At this time, everyone saw clearly the changes of the Běi Jīng after the war. I saw that the entire superstructure of the Běi Jīng was blown up a lot. Some of the hideous secondary guns were also blown up. At the same time, the deck was charred black, and there were craters everywhere. If it weren't for the fact that the armor of the battleship Běi Jīng was thick enough, I'm afraid that this time it would really have to be explained there.

After the supplies were replenished, the Běi Jīng turned its bow. Although the image is not good, the current běi jīng once again leaks his fierce domineering. More than a dozen warships were resurrected one after another, and the loyal and dutiful escort was by the side of the Běi Jīng.

"This is an armed merchant ship? Looks good! Especially those super merchant ships, the caliber of the main guns on them is probably 400 mm! Ma Lu, the captain of the běi jīng, said in amazement. He only knew that the Wehrmacht top brass had a plan to arm merchant ships, but he didn't know the specifics. The existence of those armed merchant ships is also a secret. In addition, armed merchant ships are not considered warships in terms of official designation. Naturally, he won't be idle to pay attention.

"Four hundred and ten millimeters. A giant cannon imported from Spain. Fuck the Spaniards are just too greedy. These 20 quadruple heavy guns turned out to be as high as one million Chinese dollars. If you don't buy these things, you can even buy two cruisers for a million dollars. Zhang Chaoqun said.

"Commander, do you think we can transform those super merchant ships into battleships?" Ma Lu said, pointing to several large ships at the Zhōng Yāng of the armed merchant ships.

"We had that idea before, but we eventually gave up. Although the speed of the merchant ship is good, the agility is really poor. Moreover, the armor is weak, and it takes a lot of money to transform it into a warship. Its investment could even build a heavy cruiser even more. Moreover, the modified battleship cannot be comparable to the specially produced battleship in terms of xìng energy. ”

Ma Lu nodded.

Buzz——!

Two reconnaissance aircraft flew over the huge Chinese naval formation and circled several times.

"Pull the war jǐng report, the enemy is coming!" Zhang Chaoqun's face sank, and the speed of the rì army's advance was completely beyond his expectations.

Sure enough, ten minutes later, the figure of the enemy warship appeared in the sky. And then it grew in size.

Two Fuso and battleships, eight escort cruisers, no destroyers existed. When Rì Ben saw the huge Chinese fleet, he was immediately suppressed. They never imagined that China would have such a powerful navy.

Moving forward, both sides have been able to spot each other's reality and reality.

"Armed merchant ships, China has built so many armed merchant ships silently. Damn, the Chinese are hiding so deeply. "Vice Admiral Yamaya, commander of the naval formation, has an ugly face. He was not afraid of armed merchant ships, the key was that the Chinese battleship Běi Jīng and several giant armed merchant ships were loaded with huge cannons of more than 400 mm. This kind of shell really needs to concentrate on the deck, and even a super dreadnought may not last long.

"Your Excellency, all ships have sent telegrams asking for information, what should we do?"

"Wait a minute, and report the information about what happened here to the Admiralty immediately. Damn, with our two battleships, we have to fight against a hundred armed merchant ships, which is not ordinarily difficult! Lieutenant General Yamaya said with a bitter face.

"Your Excellency, now that the Kirishima is missing, we must first ensure that the Kirishima does not fall into the hands of the Chinese, and then sink the Chinese super dreadnought běi jīng, so that we can be considered to have completed the first step of the mission."

"Damn, with the Kirishima damaged and unable to move, he couldn't have escaped to this area so quickly. We must have gone the wrong way and missed the chance to meet the Kirishima. Lieutenant General Yamaya said with a bitter face. He was full of remorse now, he had known that this would happen, and he would definitely send the badly damaged battleship Kirishima back to China as soon as possible, and there would never be the slightest delay here.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, the enemy has moved. They're closing in on us! Moreover, the sound of Chinese planes appearing in the sky was specially dispatched by Feng Yong in order to detect our movements. ”

"Retreat first!" I don't know why, there is always a bad feeling in the hearts of the other people in the mountain house.

At the same time, the senior management of Rìmoto, who was far away in Tokyo, was shocked by the news. The Chinese National Defense Forces have swept more than 100,000 troops into Burma to fight, and have successively broken through the three lines of defense deployed by the main force of the British army, and directly incorporated the entire northern Burma into its command.

"Yaga! Are the Chinese crazy? At this time, a large-scale deployment of troops into Burma to fight! Aren't they afraid that this will provoke an even more terrifying enemy? The Emperor God said in a complicated manner.

"Your Majesty, this is our chance. If our North Korean army is dispatched at the same time and attacks China on both sides, even if the Chinese army is strong, it will still avoid defeat. The Secretary of War said.

The emperor was noncommittal, and the courtiers below immediately quarreled. This is an incomparably crazy decision for any country.
