Chapter 1115: Trap It

"Just keep up with them!" When the Huaxia finally hoisted a group of cruisers and destroyers at a high speed of 30 knots, and constantly cleared the trailing team with artillery fire, Admiral King no longer expected the ship's torpedoes to be of much use.

Although many destroyers and cruisers were more than 30 knots, the difference in speed was easy to be scattered by human bombardment if they relied on the work of placing torpedoes in front of them.

Torpedoes are not like naval guns, which can be fired at a distance of twenty or thirty kilometers. Braving the artillery fire of the Chinese army and the roar of warplanes, the closer you get, the more dangerous it becomes.

After the Allied destroyers destroyed on the 127-mm vigilance guns had already exceeded double digits, the fastest destroyer forced by the Allies began to slow down under the instructions of their superiors.

"It's invincible!" At this time, in addition to the naval officers and men of Huaxia, there were also Japanese who rushed to make soy sauce.

After the United States and Britain proposed to encircle and suppress the Huaxia, the Japanese, who were familiar with the predecessor of the Huaxia, were also shouted to the Atlantic.

Although the Japanese Navy had declined, the Japanese still selected the Akizuki-class destroyer Hanazuki from among the Japanese warships that went to India, and rushed to brush up on its existence.

This is almost the best battleship that the Japanese can get their hands on.

The remnants of the Japanese Combined Fleet, which relied on the support of the Americans in the Southern Islands, had difficulty even entering the Indian Ocean, let alone trekking to the Atlantic, after the Chinese occupied the islands of Southeast Asia. Moreover, they still have to guard the Southern Islands to prevent the Huaxia Navy, which is expanding its range of activities, from ending up with their last nest.

As for the remnants of the Japanese Navy stationed in India, while the Chinese fleet was constantly circling around the Indian Ocean, their remaining one cruiser and one modified aircraft carrier did not dare to move at home at all.

Japan's finances, which are now supported only by plundering part of India's wealth, cannot afford to raise a large fleet, and the US Pacific Navy has always been a little uninterested in Japan's Combined Fleet, and the remnants of Japan's navy are now living like beggars, and it is difficult to even maintain warships. The Americans consciously grasped the encirclement and suppression operation and did not want to fund a large-scale Japanese fleet to visit the Atlantic.

At this time, the Japanese were so poor that they could not even pay for travel and fuel, and even if they wanted to use this to train their troops, they had to face the reality. Funded by the Anglo-American information fee on the Huaxia. In the end, only one destroyer was dispatched, and some of the Indian specialties that were about to be sold were sent to the North Sea.

But even if it came, in the face of so many large warships, this Japanese Akizuki-class destroyer could only be a bystander.

Thinking about the current embarrassment, and then looking at the majestic No. 1 Pig's Foot Huaxia, the Japanese can't help but feel sad.

In order to fill the emptiness in the feeling of loss. The Japanese couldn't help but boast of their former glory with the help of the Huaxia horn.

"If we work harder and complete it ahead of schedule, we can stand alone against the entire Allied Navy, and the Empire may not fail!" Some people even keep thinking about it.

……

"If this big ship from Huaxia had come earlier, we might have crushed the allies long ago!" The Germans who were watching the battle from a distance were also sighing unwillingly.

The German Navy, which invited the Huaxia to the North Sea, also dispatched a fleet at this time. However, this fleet, led by the H-class battleship Hindenburg, only circled the waters off the coast of Germany, separated by 108,000 miles of the battlefield of engagement, and had no intention of getting past it.

But the scattered submarines, small ships, and high-altitude reconnaissance planes had already passed on detailed information about the engagement to the Germans.

"The battleship Huaxia is indeed very strong, if it is ......" Dönitz on the Hindenburg couldn't help but sigh, but his if swallowed back into his stomach.

In the face of the cruel reality, there are not so many ifs. The current German navy is not weak, but it lacks a leadership core, and the current Germans are scattered. Even with the German Navy could not decide their fate. Even Dönitz could not be alone. Logistics supplies and military spending swept away Dönitz's unwilling eyes, and he could only resign himself to waiting for the peace talks, which were the most popular in the country, to be concluded.

Before that. Even if he already knew about the conspiracy to trick the Chinese into entering the North Sea, even if he had succeeded Raeder as the commander of the German Navy, and was also one of the successors of the German Supreme Führer, he could only watch from outside the battlefield and did not dare to easily sabotage the peace talks.

In this world, the German navy continued to grow its surface ships, which also caused Raeder's power to rise suddenly, making Dönitz appear a few steps late. Even though he was promoted by the navy as a candidate for the head of state, he did not command the majesty of Germany at all, and even the German navy could not unify opinions.

The German Navy's dispatch this time was just a brush existence.

As long as the allies don't attack them, they won't take the initiative to attack, and they are even worried about the embarrassment caused by the Huaxia people leaning towards them and seeking support from their allies.

Although they hoped to seize the collusion between the Germans and Huaxia and suppress Germany in future peace talks, the Allies were also worried that the German navy would be involved at this time and make the encirclement and suppression operation fall short.

While putting pressure on Germany, the United States and Britain made some promised concessions, and at the beginning of the attack, they took into account the German factor and sent a fleet to set up a defensive line off the coast of Germany as early as possible. The sheer size of 4 battleships and 4 aircraft carriers formed a blockade on this side, and the Germans had to send a fleet to brush up the presence.

However, the Allied fleet apparently did not take the German fleet to heart. Their group of warships, which had not yet met the Huaxia, were still full of confidence that even if the German fleet rushed over, they could destroy it together. Moreover, they had already received the promises made by the Germans for peace talks.

Looking at the appearance of the Allied navy that was approaching the open sea, and listening to the news that the Huaxia continued to sink the Allied warships, the Germans became more and more disappointed.

"Not being able to fight to the end is our biggest regret!" Dönitz looked at the many German battleships that accompanied him, and let out another low sigh.

……

"I wanted to drag them to the end, but who knew that they began to retreat!" Chen Guan shook his head and said regretfully.

Even after fighting and running, the Huaxia actually dragged the entire Allied fleet to the ground.

In addition to the group of fighters overhead, the cannon sound of the warship bombardment on both sides gradually thinned out, especially the artillery bombardment of the Allied forces, which began to fall silent after repeated ineffectiveness. Only the 600-millimeter shells on the Huaxia that came from time to time hit a certain Allied ship provoked a continuous artillery bombardment by the Allied forces.

After encountering less than one attack for most of the day, the Chinese officers and soldiers also began to relax, and even laughed at the Allied forces from time to time, far less tense than when they were besieged by the Allied naval forces at the beginning.

No one thought that it would be like this, nor did they expect that those veteran imperial navies were still menacing when they came, but at this time, they were a little embarrassed and no longer had the majesty of the past.

"If it weren't for the fact that there were so many foreign devil ships, we would have chased them this time!" The confidence of the Chinese officers and men gradually rose, and some people laughed.

"What's wrong with fewer boats? Our Huaxia has a hundred of them! "Some people are self-satisfied.

"That's it! Now we are like chasing them, anyway, we are beating them, and they are staring! Ha ha! Someone next to him immediately laughed.

"The Allies have nothing to do with us for the time being, and now they have a ghost idea! You see," Wang Xiu, who was also in the command tower of the Huaxia, pointed to the two sides lined up according to the intelligence in front of a large sand table, "while they shrink the formation and reduce the chance of being broken by our various ones, they press the formation as a whole, although they do not completely surround us, they block our way to Germany for help, and force us to retreat to the south of the North Sea!" ”

"The southern part of the North Sea? It's a terrible place to be! Chen Guan looked at the sand table, then looked at the chart and shook his head.

……

"We don't have to be in a hurry, as long as we force them into this cage, don't think about coming out again!" Cunningham comforted Tovey.

The Allied forces, who were still counting on a fierce attack, had to face the reality at this time, gave up the strong attack, and instead launched a formal encirclement and suppression plan.

The British were very familiar with the North Sea, which they connected to Europe, and naturally knew the terrain of most of the North Sea with a depth of less than 100 meters, so they encouraged to set up the battlefield here.

At the southern end of the North Sea, most of the area is shallower than 40 meters, especially the Doge Shoal, which is only 15 to 30 meters deep, and the Allies received information from the Japanese that the Huaxia has a draft of more than 20 meters.

The Huaxia is fine cruising the ocean, but if it reaches the southern tip of the North Sea, the occasional shoal can run it aground. When the time comes, whether to kill or capture, I'm afraid it will be up to the allies to decide.

"Well, trap it completely and become our trophy!" Tovey comforted himself.

……

"The Allies are playing for us, and we are also laying a net for the Allies!" In order to avoid the sub-base being exposed, Long Wu, who personally led a large number of clone soldiers to sit on the Huaxia, said indifferently to Chen Guan and Wang Xiu, who were a little surprised, "It's time for us to close the net!" ”

As Long Wu's order was conveyed, behind the Allied fleet that was forcing the Huaxia to surround it, a Huaxia fleet led by 3 battleships quietly appeared. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
