Chapter 813: The long-awaited naval battle

"Signal them to go back!" Koga Feng glanced at the urgent telegram sent by the destroyer who was going to negotiate in front of him, and said lightly.

Then he turned to the adjutant beside him and said, "Pass the order, prepare for battle!" ”

On the Musashi in the rear, when the staff officers kept transmitting news and orders, Yoshiyoshi Sugma in front looked at the somewhat vague huge figure in the distance again, pursed his lips that were a little dry by the sea breeze, and then said hoarsely: "Give a signal!" ”

A new flag was hoisted on the Yukikaze after a while.

"The little devil is moving!" Cheng Dalong hurriedly raised the telescope to look into the distance, but then said angrily, "His grandmother's, dare us to go back?" This has not yet passed through Taiwan, how did it become their territory. Give them a reply, this is our territory in China, and if they want to retreat, they will return to their nest. yes, go back! ”

The fleets of Huaxia and Japan had already discovered each other, and although they both opened up battle formations, they never made a light announcement.

The Japanese couldn't hold their breath at first, and sent the destroyer Yukikaze to come up and shout.

Cheng Dalong volunteered to take his Cleveland-class light patrol and drove to the front to answer.

The Cleveland-class light cruiser, who was a few laps larger than the Yukikaze, immediately drooped the barrel of the raised cannon on the Yukikaze.

"Even if we were to go to war, we wouldn't be able to play tricks and leave diplomatic loopholes! should salute first and then soldier, block the little devil to jump up first, and we can take advantage of it! Cao Han's slightly lazy joking voice came from the communicator, "Fighting with little devils, you can't just rely on cannons, you have to compare brains to make them ashamed, ashamed to the point of being angry, that is the high realm!" ”

"you!" Cheng Dalong, who is a fierce general of the giant ship and artillery faction of the Huaxia Navy, replied with a smile, "We have long wanted the little devils to declare a full-scale war, what are you polite to them?" If I wanted to bomb it a long time ago! ”

The communication staff officer beside him had long been accustomed to Cheng Dalong's temper, so he didn't even hesitate and went straight down. The flag was gone. Of course, the flags hung up did not have the words to get out, but they solemnly affirmed China's sovereignty over Taiwan and the surrounding Ryukyu Islands.

This is also enough to stimulate the eyes of the Japanese.

Koga Feng, who had stood there for a long time, took the news one by one, sneered at the corner of his mouth, and finally said in a deep voice: "Attack!" ”

The two sides had already entered a state of war, and if it weren't for all kinds of scruples, Koga Feng would have directly ordered an attack early in the morning. Originally, it was planned to send the Snow Wind to provoke the Chinese, but in terms of momentum or words, the Japanese did not take advantage. But. Koga Mineichi can be regarded as waiting for the reason he wanted, and the declaration of sovereignty over Taiwan and even the Ryukyu Islands revealed by Huaxia was enough to stimulate the nerves of the Japanese high-level.

"The little devil is about to start attacking!" Seeing that the Snow Wind began to retreat, Chen Dalong put down the binoculars. A wave of his hand, "Rush forward!" ”

"Boom!" The Suzuya Heavy Patrol, which quickly came up to pick up the Yukikaze, opened fire first.

The two twin 50 times diameter 203 mm main guns bombarded Cheng Dalong's Cleveland-class light patrol where he had just stayed, but he didn't expect that Chen Dalong's light patrol had already rushed forward and fell into the air, but the rising water column already meant the beginning of the naval battle between the two sides.

"This brute bull! Just know the forward rush! Chen Guan, who was behind, shook his head slightly.

Before the war, the Huaxia Navy had a detailed plan, but there were still some differences because of the giant ship artillery faction and the aircraft carrier faction in the army.

According to the most efficient way of playing, there was nothing more than the fighters on the two aircraft carriers taking off quickly and killing the Japanese fleet with bombs and torpedoes from a long distance.

But apparently the Giant Ship Cannon faction is not happy with this style of play at all, and they prefer to use their cannons to smash their opponents directly to the bottom of the sea.

Though. Meng Xiang knew that aircraft carriers were the mainstream, but in the end, the reason for the enthusiastic training of the giant ship faction persuaded him.

Classic artillery battles are more suitable for educating naval rookies with iron and blood, and it is also easier to earn a sense of honor in this era.

This is the characteristic of the times, and the victory of the HNA boasts of the fighter plane, lacking the aura of the victory of the battleship. So Meng Xiang agreed to allow the young Chinese navy to speak with artillery before the Japanese sent out their fighters.

"Aim at the cruiser first! Call me! Chen Dalong yelled.

The 152-millimeter naval guns that had already been prepared on the Cleveland-class light cruiser were aimed at the Suzuya together, and Chen Dalong did not bother to deal with the destroyer. Instead, the first attack was given to the more threatening Suzuya, the top heavy cruiser.

He already knew in his head all kinds of data of the most advanced level that rushed forward quickly, and the 203 mm naval gun modified by the most advanced level could still accurately and easily deliver a fatal blow to the Cleveland-class light patrol at a distance of 10 nautical miles. Compared with the Yangyan-class destroyer at a distance of about 10 nautical miles, the power of the torpedo cannot be exerted for the time being.

So he simply chose to attack the suzuya at the top level, but the auspicious snow wind escaped.

"Boom!" A column of water that rushed to the sky preceded Chen Dalong's attack and exploded around the Suzuya that rushed up, and the waves that swayed made the top level of this 10,000-ton ship shake violently.

The Dingyuan, which couldn't hold its breath in the rear, fired a test shot first.

The bombardment power of the Dingyuan's 500-mm naval guns made the Japanese change color. Even Koga Mineichi was silent for a moment before ordering the Musashi's attack.

With the order of Arima Shin Daisa, the 460-mm naval guns raised on the Musashi also spewed out large clusters of flames. The whistling shells crossed the light patrol of the process. Pointing straight to the farther away Dingyuan.

The proud Japanese Navy's No. 2 flagship has set its sights on the gladiatorial battle between the giants, dismissing it.

The Dingyuan immediately turned its focus and met the Musashi's challenge, while the Alaska-class cruiser beside it quickly lunged forward and aimed its 305-mm main gun at its imaginary enemy, the Upper Class.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Chen Dalong's Cleveland-class and Alaska-class guns rang out one after the other, almost at the same time. Straight down to the Suzuya, which had already broken through to the side of the Yukikaze, bathed in auspicious light.
