"War is not just about fighting with artillery and muscles, but more importantly, about the collision of ideas and intelligence." - Lin Taizeng.

The Ocean Fleet did not choose the usual method of warfare in which the fleet turned at a large angle before engaging the enemy and faced the enemy ship with its side side, as is usually the case in naval battles, but maintained an acute angle of about 20 degrees between the route of the Ocean Fleet and the course of the Russian Fleet. For this decision, Lin Tai once explained that with 2 PISA-class ships still patrolling in the distance, the Russian fleet would definitely not dare to move forward, and would not even immediately show the flank for engagement. In order to achieve this goal, the other side must turn 160 degrees in order to be parallel to the foreign fleet, and the distance between the two sides cannot be too large, otherwise, because of the angle problem, it will be difficult for the first two warships of the Russian Navy to find the firing range, while the foreign fleet in the left rear can concentrate all its main guns to attack the battleship Rurik at the end of the Russian Navy.

In the face of such a state of engagement, Essen did not choose to evacuate as Lin Tai had predicted, he implemented a large angle turn, but did not turn parallel to the position of the foreign fleet, but turned the course of the fleet 100 degrees, in an attempt to form an oblique T-shaped array in front of the foreign fleet's route. The classic tactics of grabbing T-t's played a huge role in the naval battle in the western United States, and now Essen hopes to repeat it in the Far East. …。

Essen's maneuver began when the two sides were 8 km apart, and if according to the original estimates, the maximum distance of the artillery battle between the two sides would not exceed 5 km, and he had enough time to complete the turn. When the two sides are close to the firing range, the Russian fleet will be just in time for the scramble

Experience is precious, ideas are beautiful, but the reality is cruel, in the two sides approached to 7km, the distance and direction finding work of the Taipei at the head of the team and the subsequent Kaohsiung has been completed, and the 3-meter limit rangefinder at the top of the ship accurately reported the distance to the other side: 7250 meters and at this time. The Prince, at the head of the Russian fleet, was turning, and the Russian at the back was preparing to turn, and in the course of a violent turn, the Russian fleet simply could not hit such a long distance, but the ocean-going fleet wanted to try

The four twin 11-inch guns of the Taipei and Kaohsiung slowly locked onto the Prince who was turning. In a 3-meter rangefinder. The long hull of the Prince is completely exposed to the eyes of observers. After a final distance verification, the fire control tube transmitted the course and distance of the opponent to the turret, and then the gun commander used a telescopic sight to trap the opponent. After receiving permission to fire. The 4 twin turrets spewed out 4 fire dragons. Four 11-inch armor-piercing projectiles weighing 262kg flew towards the Prince, which was turning

"What's going on? Are they crazy?" When a Russian officer heard a loud thunderous noise coming from a distance, he quickly ran to the observation port and looked at the ocean-going fleet in the distance. Four dark red objects flew towards the Prince with a whistling sound that swept through the air, and before the huge part of the Russians could react, four shells had already fallen one after another, and almost at the same time, four huge water columns more than ten meters high rose up next to the Prince ..........

"They missed, and the braided guys were wasting shells," said a newly appointed aristocratic officer, wiping the cold sweat from his head.

"No, this is not normal," Ethan suddenly felt very uneasy. Neither the Northern Fleet nor the Foreign Fleet is a group of rookies. They don't do anything senseless. Since they dared to fire at such a distance, there must have been something to rely on the fact that the fleet was now dangerous, and it had to pass quickly

"It's a little far off." An officer operating the rangefinder muttered to himself.

"It's okay, at least it's in the right direction." The other said with a smile.

Ten seconds later, two 416-inch guns and one 5.5-inch gun of the Taipei and Kaohsiung were destroyed, and billowing smoke rose from the middle and rear of the hull.

This is just the beginning, the high rate of fire combined with the new gunnery has made the accuracy of the two armored cruisers Taipei and Kaohsiung skyrocket, and in the rain of bullets in Chapter 416, a fire net was formed to cover the poor Prince. For a moment, smoke billowed from the entire battleship. Scorching flames, flying shrapnel, and toxic smoke wreaked havoc on gunners and exposed crews. Ten minutes into the engagement, the Russian Far East Fleet's best warship was damaged, and the fire was in danger of getting out of control. …………。

Just as the Taipei and Kaohsiung were concentrating their fire on the Taizi, the Russian and Rurik abruptly aborted their original turning plans, and the two warships cut into the array of the ocean-going fleet in unison. Attempt to quickly close the distance between the two and suppress each other with fire projection at medium and close range. The encounter with the Prince just now has already taught the Russians that in long-range artillery battles, the Russians have no chance of winning, so since this is the case, they can only fight in close combat

"Give up the Prince, and concentrate your fire on the Russos and Rurik that are rushing up." Lin Taizeng pondered for a moment and said. "Admiral Lin. The Prince had already been damaged, and the Russell and Rurik that rushed up completely let the two warships behind attack Ah. Deng Shichang said with some dissatisfaction.

"The main gun of the Prince can still be used, and the speed has not decreased. It takes a long time to want to sink. The short- and medium-range firepower of the Rurik and the Russian is very fierce, and the two sides are basically tied at 2 to 2. The war has just begun, and there is no need for us to fight with our opponents at the initial stage. Lin Taizeng was rarely tough for a while and rejected Deng Shichang's opinion.

"Order, the entire fleet turned left 2 compass points, widening the distance from the other side. The Taipei attacked the Russian, and the Kaohsiung and Fuzhou concentrated fire to attack the Rurik, and we have to make up for the regret of the First Sino-Japanese War in this war. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Taizeng still gave the order to transfer the firepower under Deng Shichang's dissatisfied gaze..........

And when the foreign fleet was adjusted, the two Russian warships finally rushed to a distance of 3,800 meters from the battle line of the foreign fleet, which was already the best distance that the artillery of both sides could play An inevitability of hand-to-hand combat
