Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

"Your Excellency Dazuo, it is one of the 'Xuanwu-class' light cruisers of the Chinese people." A staff officer reported to Shindasa Nakajima. Just as the Chinese Navy knows the Japanese Navy's warships well, the Japanese Navy also treasures the warships of the Chinese Navy.

"The 'Xuanwu-class' light cruiser is a very good battleship. However, it is a pity that the people of China are too defense-oriented. Otherwise, the firepower of the 'Xuanwu-class' light cruisers would not be inferior to that of our 'top-class' light cruisers. Nakajima said.

"Your Excellency, the other party's warships are approaching us, and the distance between the two sides is less than 10,000 meters." Staff officer reports.

The choice was handed over to Shindasaku Nakajima. Should you speed up your escape, or give up your escape and fight head-on with the light cruisers of the Chinese Navy? If it is to flee at an accelerated pace, the opponent's 'Xuanwu-class' light cruiser will not be slower than the 'top-class' light cruiser. Therefore, the other side will follow the light cruiser 'Suzuya' like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and there will be no escape at all. However, if you want to fight, you have to slow down a little. Otherwise, at a speed of more than 30 knots, it will not be so easy to hit a target 10,000 meters away. What's more, no one knows how many other warships on the other side are on their way.

After bowing his head and pondering for a few seconds, Nakajima Shindasa made up his mind: "In half an hour, are we sure to sink the other party?" ”

"Captain, if you can shorten the engagement distance to less than eight thousand meters. If you're lucky, you should be able to sink the opponent. The gunslinger replied.

"That's good, close the distance. Sink the battleships of the Chinese and then retreat. Nakajima gave the order. After all, the main guns of the 'most superior' light cruisers were as many as five and fifteen. The Chinese Navy's 'Xuanwu-class' light cruisers have only three and nine guns, which is equivalent to 60 percent of the Japanese Navy's 'top-class' light cruisers.

The light cruiser 'Suzuya' began to turn. Trying to close the distance with the light cruiser 'Wei Yueyan'. At the same time, five triple 50-caliber 155-mm guns have also begun to rotate, aiming at the Chinese Navy's light cruiser 'Wei Yueyan'.

"Little Japan is closing the distance. They're trying to sink us! Send a telegram to the light cruisers 'Nu Earth Bat' and the light cruiser 'Hengshan' how long it will take for them to arrive. The captain of the light cruiser 'Dangerous Moon Swallow' ordered.

"Yes, Captain." The communications officer immediately went to send a telegram.

A few minutes later, they received a reply from the light cruisers 'Nu Earth Bat' and 'Hengshan'. The light cruiser 'Female Earth Bat' was a little closer to this area. Therefore, it was possible to arrive in half an hour. The light cruiser 'Hengshan' will not be able to arrive in about 50 minutes.

"Half an hour? We can't be so unlucky. It was sunk by Little Japan in half an hour, right? In that case, you might as well just jump into the sea and drown. However, if little Japan wants to shorten the engagement distance so that they can take advantage of the number of their main guns, is there such a cheap thing? Order the battleship to turn and control the distance between the two sides at about 10,000 meters. The main guns are ready to open fire, so that little Japan knows how good we are. "The captain gave the order.

After all. In terms of sighting equipment and fire control systems, the Empire was much ahead of the Japanese Navy. This makes it possible to engage at long distances. The Imperial Navy had an advantage. Therefore, as long as the Imperial Navy controlled the combat distance, the Japanese Navy's numerical superiority in main guns would not have much effect at all. After all, no matter how many main guns there are, you have to hit the opponent's battleship? If you don't hit at all. Even if you have more main guns, what's the use?

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The Imperial Navy's light cruiser "Wei Yueyan" opened fire, and three triple 155-mm guns began to fire at the light cruiser "Suzutani". At a distance of more than 10,000 meters, with the cooperation of new observation and sighting equipment and fire control systems. The Imperial Navy was able to achieve a decent hit rate.

"Yaga! The people of China have seen through our schemes. They are closing the distance. However, their vain attempt to hit us at this distance is also delusional. And they do. It's a complete waste of shells. Nakajima said with great certainty.

Although, the firing range of 155-mm naval guns has already reached more than fifteen kilometers. However, the maximum range and the effective range capable of hitting the target, are completely different things. If you want to hit the opponent's battleship, it is not an easy task. In particular, the battleship is still in the process of sailing at high speed.

One after another, the shells exploded on the surface of the sea, splashing columns of water. Because of the speed and distance, the impact point is not ideal. However, the Imperial Navy's light cruiser 'Wei Yueyan' still didn't care.

The Japanese Navy's light cruiser 'Suzuya' repeatedly tried to close the distance between the two sides. However, in the case of almost equal speeds on both sides, this is simply in vain. On the other hand, the Imperial Navy's light cruiser 'Wei Yueyan', although it fired at a long distance, the hit rate could not be guaranteed. However, with the help of the observation equipment, the shooting angle is constantly corrected, and the impact point is constantly narrowing. By 2:15 p.m., the nearest point of impact was less than fifty meters away from the light cruiser Suzuya. This made Nakajima's face very ugly.

"Yaga! When did the gunnery of the Shina Navy become so exquisite? Nakajima didn't dare to imagine such an outcome at all. You know, the Japanese Army's marksmanship is very good. The Japanese Navy's gunnery is also very exquisite. However, now that he has been compared to the Chinese Navy, this undoubtedly makes Nakajima Shindasa a little annoyed.

"Order the main guns to fire! If we continue like this, sooner or later we will be hit by the Shina people. Nakajima Shindasa ordered.

Subsequently, the five triple 155-mm guns of the light cruiser 'Suzuya' began to fire. I have to admit that the firing of the five-seat triple main gun is indeed amazing. However, firing at such a distance, the point of impact is somewhat unsightly.

"Yaga!" Seeing this situation, Nakajima Jindazo had no choice but to scold secretly.

At 5:21, the Imperial Navy's light cruiser 'Wei Yueyan' took the lead in forming a straddle shot. During this round of test firing, a shell flew over the light cruiser Suzuya and fell into the sea at the other end. This undoubtedly made the Japanese Navy sailors on the light cruiser "Suzuya" very nervous.

On the other hand, the officers and men of the Imperial Navy's light cruiser 'Wei Yueyan' were ecstatic. The captain also gave the order for the first time to carry out concentrated fire.

The Imperial Navy's triple 155mm guns were fully fed by an automatic ammunition system. This allows the gun to fire very quickly, capable of reaching four rounds per minute. If the barrel is fired rapidly, the maximum rate of fire can even be increased to six rounds per minute. However, in that case, after a naval battle, the barrel will need to be replaced.

The light cruiser "Wei Yueyan" frantically began to tilt shells at the "Suzuya" light cruiser, and every minute, 36 shells fell, exploding around the "Suzuya" light cruiser, splashing one after another columns of rushing water. Cannonballs, as if it were raining.

"Yaga! How so? Our 'top-class' light cruisers were obviously stronger than the 'Xuanwu-class' light cruisers of the Chinese people, so why were we suppressed by them during the battle? Nakajima Shindasa was a little puzzled.

Indeed, the 'Ultimate Class' light cruisers were more formidable on paper than the 'Xuanwu-class' light cruisers of the Imperial Navy. However, a lot of soft power cannot be explained by paper data. For example, the gap between the observation equipment and fire control systems of the two sides is very large. In terms of the rate of fire of the main guns, the rate of fire of the 'most class' light cruisers can reach up to two rounds per minute, while the maximum rate of fire of the 'Xuanwu-class' light cruisers is four rounds, and the ultimate rate of fire is six rounds, which is already twice that of the 'most class' light cruisers.

As long as the Imperial Navy's 'Xuanwu-class' light cruisers fully exploit their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, they do not give the Japanese Navy's 'top-class' light cruisers a chance to exert their firepower superiority. The 'Xuanwu-class' light cruisers were completely capable of defeating the 'most superior' light cruisers.

"Boom!"

A fireball rose on the foredeck of the light cruiser Suzutani, and a 155-mm shell fired from the light cruiser Weiyueyan hit the foredeck. With only 35 mm of deck armor, it was easily torn apart. Although, this shell did not inflict multiple injuries on the light cruiser 'Suzuya'. However, Nakajima Jindazuo was shocked into a cold sweat.

If the battle continues, there is no doubt that the light cruiser 'Suzuya' will be hit by more and more shells. And this, in the end, will definitely kill the light cruiser 'Suzuya'.

As a broken ship, if it is hit hard, it will undoubtedly be a dead end. Once it loses speed, in the face of the siege of the enemy's superior warships, the light cruiser 'Suzuya' will have no way to retreat.

"Order the battleship, turn at once, and abandon the battle with the Chinese people." After discovering that he couldn't get any bargains, Nakajima Jindazo immediately gave the order to turn and flee. He knew that the longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for them.

However, how could the light cruiser 'Dangerous Moon Swallow' let the 'Suzuya' escape so easily? They immediately increased their speed and began to catch up.

Ten minutes later, in the direction of the escape of the light cruiser Suzuya, the light cruiser of the Imperial Navy, the female earth bat, also appeared. From now on, the light cruiser 'Suzuya' will be under siege.
