The end of the military era

This time, after Zhou Rui added 24 capital ships to the coastal defense fleet, Wang Kui was directly promoted from the first officer of the all-main-gun battleship Tiangang of the third formation to the temporary formation of the all-main-gun battleship Furong of the tenth formation Captain.

The Furong is also a Nevada-class full-main gun battleship of the United States, so it has rough skin and thick flesh.

Counting this shell, Furong's full main gun battleship has already suffered 7 large-caliber shells, but it is still alive and kicking, and its speed and firepower have not been affected in any way.

At this time, the naval battle had been fought until 2:24 pm on February 6, and the sky had gradually darkened.

However, neither the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet nor the Golden Lion Empire's navy had any intention of stopping. They were all ready to continue fighting and start a night battle with each other.

Soon Furong's first officer, Liang Baozhong, ran back to the bridge, "Captain, the shell hit the No. 127 main turret just now. Only one [-]mm secondary gun was damaged, and the No. [-] main turret was intact." Lossless."

Hearing this, Wang Kui couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He had just become the captain of a battleship with all main guns, and it was really exciting to experience such a big scene.

"Thanks to Furong for resisting the beating.

Baozhong, how many shells did we take? "

"This is already the seventh round, and it was all fired by the full main gun battleship opposite."

Wang Kui gritted his teeth and said, "Tell the brothers in the four main turrets to aim and shoot!"

As soon as Wang Kui's words fell, the Golden Lion Empire Navy's all-main-gun battleship confronting the Furong in the distance exploded continuously, and then the entire hull was blown into two pieces. sink to the sea.

Wang Kui couldn't help being taken aback, "Is this from our Fu Rong?"

A major officer on the bridge said with a wry smile: "Captain, it seems that two shells from the Fuchang of the Ninth Formation hit the battleship with all main guns, which caused the battleship with all main guns to panic." big Bang."

The capital ships of the Ninth Formation and the Provisional Tenth Formation are all American Nevada-class battleships with full main guns. Under Song Limin's intentional command, the 16 "Fu"-class battleships with full main guns in the two formations have been formed. A long battle line.

The Furong happened to be adjacent to the Fuchang, where Liu Ergou was located, on the battle line.

"Damn! Two dogs who are lucky with shit!

He dared to snatch food from our Furong's mouth. When this naval battle is over, I must make him bleed out once! "

Wang Kui was cursing, but his face was full of envy.

It was just witnessed by him. Counting the one just now, the Fuchang under the command of Liu Ergou had already sunk two full main gun battleships of the Golden Lion Empire Navy.

I also want such shit luck!

Chapter 162 The Open Mouth

After the baptism of the Xiangshi Island naval battle and the Shark Island naval battle, the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet did not have much difference in hit rate in the battle with the two fleets of the Golden Lion Empire Navy.

Among the six orc countries, the Golden Lion Empire can be said to be the most thriving country, and it can be regarded as the country with the strongest comprehensive strength among the six orc countries.

It is also because of this that although other orc nations also have conflicts with the Golden Lion Empire, they dare not easily start a war with the Golden Lion Empire.

As for the human country in the eastern continent of the world, the moment they heard the name of the Golden Lion Empire, they were three points shorter, and they didn't even dare to provoke the Golden Lion Empire.

This makes the Golden Lion Empire have not experienced war for many years. The last war between the Golden Lion Empire and the Black Bear Empire dates back to more than 30 years ago.

Therefore, although the officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire are well-trained, it is difficult for them to perform at their training level after experiencing a war for the first time and encountering such an unprecedented large-scale sea battle.

The backbone officers and soldiers of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet can be said to have grown up through the flames of war. Under the leadership of these backbone officers and soldiers, the performance of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet is even better than in usual training.

When the two sides fought fiercely until dark, the Golden Lion Empire Navy even made a mistake in colliding with a battleship with full main guns and a light cruiser.

At around 2 o'clock in the evening on February 24th, in the bridge of the all-main gun battleship Fengshang of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, Nakola, the commander of the Fourth Fleet, held a copy of the loss data, and spoke to the captain of the Fengshang in a deep voice. Hippe asked: "Have you sent the loss of the Eighth Fleet?"

Hippe shook his head, "Not yet, but the situation of the Eighth Fleet should be very bad."

Nakola then put a few sheets of paper counting the loss data on the table in front of him, "I can't continue typing like this.

If the fight continues, our advance fleet and the Eighth Fleet may not be able to leave even if they want to. We have obviously fallen into the trap set by the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empire. "

Hippe said with some hesitation: "Commander, but if we retreat like this, I am afraid there is no way to explain to the Admiralty and the Governor's Palace."

"If the Advance Fleet and the Eighth Fleet are really lost, then I will not be able to explain to the Admiralty and the Governor's Office, and send my opinion to General Xievas. If the Admiralty and the Governor's Office are finally held accountable, I am willing to take all responsibilities .”

After receiving the telegram from Nakola, Xivas, the commander of the Eighth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, was silent for a long time before asking Captain Niok of the Salute: "Nyok, what do you think? We Is there no way to win?"

Niok, the captain of the Praise, said cautiously: "Commander, due to a mistake in intelligence work, our Eighth Fleet and General Nakola's advance fleet may have fallen into the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empire from the very beginning. Well-laid traps.

如今我们第八舰队已经损失了3艘全主炮战列舰、2艘战列巡洋舰、4艘全钢制战列舰、9艘大型装甲巡洋舰、10艘轻巡洋舰和12艘驱逐舰，还有多艘战舰都受了重伤。

纳科拉将军的先遣舰队那边，也已经损失了4艘全主炮战列舰、5艘全钢制战列舰、5艘大型装甲巡洋舰、8艘轻巡洋舰和11艘驱逐舰。

The situation on the entire battlefield can be said to be very unfavorable to our Eighth Fleet and the Advance Fleet, and it is almost difficult to see the hope of victory. "

Xie Vas' face was quite ugly at this time, "Can the Fifth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire Navy rush over to join the battle?"

"The commander of the Fifth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire Navy, Saweiye, sent a telegram. Due to the need for some preparation time, the Fifth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire Navy will not be able to arrive at the battlefield here until 48 hours at the earliest."

"After 48 hours? Are you here to collect the bodies of the two fleets of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire?" Xie Vas said angrily.

Fengsha Island, where the Fifth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire Navy is stationed, is less than 600 kilometers away from the battlefield. When the second column of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet appeared, Xie Vas sent a message to the commander of the Fifth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire Navy, Saweiye. I sent a telegram, hoping that the Fifth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire Navy would come to join the battle.

If the Fifth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire Navy is fully reinforced, it may take less than 24 hours to arrive.

Yumen Island, where the Sixth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire Navy is stationed, is thousands of kilometers away from the battlefield, so Xievas did not send a telegram to Yumen Island asking for help.

Then Xievas suddenly showed a frustrated expression on his face, "I can't imagine that one day our Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire will choose to retreat in front of a human fleet.

Send a message to General Nakola, I agree with his suggestion. "

The battle formations of the two fleets of the Golden Lion Empire Navy had been maintained very well, but after the teams received the order to retreat, because it was night, even if there was some confusion, the formations of the two fleets were also messed up.

As for the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, it was discovered that the navy of the Golden Lion Empire was about to run away, and the warships of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet immediately began to chase after each other as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

At dawn on February 2th, the six all-main-gun battleships of the third battleship of the Golden Lion Empire Navy's advance fleet were intercepted by the ninth formation and the tentative tenth formation of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

These six full main gun battleships belong to the Black Prince class of the Golden Lion Empire Navy, with a full load displacement of 6 tons and a maximum speed of 29000 knots.

装备了4座双联装45倍口径360毫米主炮，14门五十倍150毫米副炮，20门30毫米高射炮，26挺13毫米高射机枪，4具550毫米鱼雷发射管。

The side armor belt is 220 mm to 330 mm, the main deck armor is 80 mm, the main turret armor is 330 mm, and the crew is full of 1060 people.

The Black Prince class is the pre-type ship of the Golden Lion Empire's Valiant class battleship with full main guns. The weapon system of the two is the same, but the Black Prince class is inferior to the Valiant class in terms of speed and armor.

At this time, the Ninth Formation of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet and the 16 "Fu"-class all-main gun battleships of the Tenth Formation, that is, the US Nevada-class, still maintain their combat effectiveness.

In addition, the ninth formation also has 4 "Xiangshi" class large armored cruisers, that is, the German Scharnhorst class, 6 "Jingsheng" class light cruisers, that is, the German Wiesbaden class, and 8 "Longshan" class light cruisers. "class destroyer, that is, the Russian unreasonable class.

Cooperating with 16 full main gun battleships with the word "Fu", they surrounded the 6 full main gun battleships of the Third Squadron of the Advance Fleet of the Golden Lion Empire Navy.

On the bridge of the full main gun battleship Furong, Captain Wang Kui saw the six full main gun battleships surrounding the Golden Lion Imperial Navy, and his face was quite excited.
