Chapter 1325: Dead End

The Spanish fleet thought that with its rich combat experience and the advantage of fleet size, as long as it did not eat the opponent's low-level routines, it could directly push over and destroy the Haihan Navy, but it never expected that the other party just sent a warship to attack and disturb the side, which had already made the fleet uneasy, and it seemed that it would be difficult to have any effective way to stop the opponent's long-range fire harassment for a while.

Faced with such a situation, the Spanish commanders naturally had no plan or example to learn from, and no other warship had ever been equipped with such a range and power of naval guns, and the shooting effect seemed to be like moving a thick and bulky coastal defense gun to a ship. But judging from the frequency of firing, the weapons equipped on the Haihan battleship are obviously more advanced, after all, such a fast ammunition loading speed is not something that the shore defense gun can have.

The only thing that made the Spaniards happy was that the number of guns on this ship was so small that only four guns would obviously be beyond the strength of the Spanish fleet. Although the hull of the Spanish ship that was hit was indeed damaged, it was not to the extent of breaking the bones. The relative speed of the two sides was at least about 20 knots, and no matter how powerful the ship was, it would at most only have time to fire one or two shells at each target, which was far from enough to destroy the combat capability of the ship that was hit by the bullets. Although the scene is one-sided, the actual effect of the blow is still relatively limited.

Realizing this, Pinto decisively gave up responding to the ship's provocation and commanded the fleet to continue at full speed, targeting the main forces of the Haihan fleet in front.

"The Spaniards are not stupid!" Johnson, who commanded the operation on the flagship, could only make a stupid comment when he saw that his opponent was unmoved by the harassment war. Originally, he hoped that after sacrificing the killer weapon of the "Warrior", he would be able to confuse the opponent and allocate part of his forces to deal with the attack of the "Warrior", but although the ship's individual combat capability was strong, it was still an experimental ship after all, and the firepower configuration was still a little thin.

The four guns installed on the ship are accurate, but the power is actually relatively limited, because the manufacture of this new type of naval gun is also a new topic for the Haihan Ordnance Industry, and the hull itself is limited, so there is no hard heavy artillery. Although the side of the Spanish warship was smashed to pieces, and the condition seemed to be terrible, in fact, it was basically a skin injury.

The "Warrior" still has some weaknesses that the Spaniards do not know, and many of the technologies used to build this ship are still in the verification stage, especially the new high-horsepower steam engine equipped on the ship, because it is the only prototype, there are no standard spare parts for maintenance and replacement, once some key positions fail, it is very likely to be in a state that cannot be repaired in the short term, and then the speed advantage of the "Warrior" will be gone.

In addition, the shells used in these four naval guns are also special copper-shelled shells, which were originally only used to demonstrate the performance of artillery during the cross-military exercise a few days ago, so the number of shells produced is extremely limited. This time, although after receiving the information, the relevant units rushed to work day and night to produce some more, but it will still be a little stretched to support a large-scale naval battle. Once the existing shells are finished, these naval guns will be completely furnished, and there will be no other heavy firepower weapons on the ship, and then they will have to withdraw from the battlefield on their own.

Therefore, for the Haihan fleet, although the combat effectiveness of the "Warrior" can be called strong, the combat endurance will not be too long, and it is unlikely to complete many back and forth killings at sea, at most it will only cause sabotage on the periphery, and the real main force of the battle is still the Haihan fleet on the frontal battlefield.

Seeing that the harassment of the "Warrior" did not have much effect, Johnson could only retreat to the next best thing and meet his opponent in a more secure way. The Haihan fleet was far inferior to its opponents in terms of the number of warships, and if it entered a state of entanglement, it would inevitably suffer, so Johnson's tactics were similar to the method adopted by Tao Donglai yesterday, using maneuvering and turning to seek the initiative in rhythm.

"Here is this trick again!" In the eyes of the Spanish commander, this movement of the Haihan fleet seemed to be a repetition of the old trick, wanting to pull the Spanish fleet to change its formation through the turn of the battle line, and then use the speed to get rid of the entanglement, and form a situation of fighting more and less in the face of the Spanish warships in the game.

Although this tactic is simple, it is very effective in actual combat, for the Haihan warship with the advantage of speed, as long as the Spanish side follows, the initiative is firmly controlled by the Haihan. However, the Spaniards had already suffered a loss under Tao Donglai yesterday, so naturally this same move would not be held back again.

Yesterday, the two Spanish commanders had learned from the hard work and had roughly figured out how to deal with this tactic of the Haihans, that is, to ignore the changes in their formation and respond to all changes without change. No matter how the formation of the Haihan fleet changed, their inferiority in the number of ships was irreparable, and this was the only advantage that the Spanish fleet could have on this battlefield. If you follow the rhythm of your opponent, your only advantage will soon be gone, and then you will fall into a passive situation.

The target of the Spanish fleet is Sanya, and the Haihan Navy is also to protect Sanya, so as long as it is attacked, it is impossible for the Haihan Navy to play any tricks, and can only prevent the Spanish fleet from attacking the port by fighting head-on. At least in the minds of the Spanish commanders, it was from this perspective that the situation on the battlefield was interpreted.

Forcing the Haihan Navy to face each other head-on with an upright offensive was the Spanish commander's way of thinking to solve the problem. But there are too many unpredictable things in the world, just as they would never have imagined before the war that the combat effectiveness of the Haihan warship would be so strong.

Seeing that the course of the Spanish fleet remained unchanged, the Haihan fleet continued to sail straight to the coast of Sanya, but did not turn around and come back to intercept it, but continued to move closer to the flank of the Spanish fleet from the east side, and it seemed that it was still planning to launch a round of artillery attack with naval guns.

At this time, in front of the Spanish fleet was a smooth road to the port area without any obstacles, at least there was no more than an eye-catching Haihan warship on the sea. All you have to do now is to rush in without distraction to complete the landing, as long as you have hostages in your hands, are you afraid that you won't be able to deal with the Haihan fleet?

"North! Full speed assault!" Pinto ordered urgently.
