The end of the military era

The words of Vice Minister of the Navy Raff made Governor Kosno determined, "Immediately send a report to Kuzier, and defeat the Zhou family's Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet at all costs!

Don't care about losses, our Golden Lion Empire can afford it! "

Regarding the Zhou family's Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, it can be said that none of the orc nations would be pleasing to the eye. If it weren't for the conflicts between the various orc nations and the navies of the various orc nations were restrained from each other, there might have been a certain beast nation long ago. The clan country couldn't help but attack the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

The top management of the Golden Lion Empire is going to take advantage of the opportunity that the navy of the Scarlet Tiger Empire and the Black Bear Empire have joined the joint escort fleet to engage in a decisive battle with the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

In fact, the top executives of Chihu and Heixiong both have the same idea.

So Jestu, the commander-in-chief of the Navy fleet of the Red Tiger Empire, and Jelter, the commander-in-chief of the Navy fleet of the Black Bear Empire, respectively received telegrams similar to those of Kuzier, the commander-in-chief of the Navy fleet of the Golden Lion Empire.

Because the size of the fleets of the two sides is too large, the two sides agreed to form three battle groups each.

On the side of the joint escort fleet of the three navies, the three battle groups are naturally the Royal Navy Battle Group of the Golden Lion Empire, the Royal Navy Battle Group of the Scarlet Tiger Empire, and the Royal Navy Battle Group of the Black Bear Empire.

On the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, under the arrangement of Commander-in-Chief Song Limin, the first formation, the second formation, the ninth formation, and the tenth formation are the first battle group, facing the battle group of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire.

With the third formation, fifth formation, eighth formation, and No.11 formation as the second battle group, it will face the battle group of the Royal Navy of the Red Tiger Empire.

With the fourth formation, sixth formation, seventh formation, and No.12 formation as the third battle group, it will face the battle group of the Royal Navy of the Black Bear Empire.

Of the three battle groups of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, the third battle group is actually the most powerful. After all, capital ships with 3mm or 380mm main guns are equipped with the third battle group.

Song Limin hoped to use Tian Ji's method of horse racing to defeat the battle group of the Royal Navy of the Black Bear Empire first.

黑熊帝国皇家海军这次总计派出了120艘全主炮战列舰、60艘战列巡洋舰、50艘全钢制战列舰、50艘大型装甲巡洋舰、140艘轻巡洋舰和180艘驱逐舰。

其中120艘全主炮战列舰，包括20艘喷火级、70艘神像级、12艘无悔级和18艘约束级，60艘战列巡洋舰包括12艘迅猛级和48艘海王级，实力也是很强的。

In addition, the 50 all-steel battleships of the Royal Navy of the Black Bear Empire, although they have been reduced to secondary battleships, still have certain combat effectiveness, and can even participate in the confrontation of battle lines.

The third battle group of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, the fourth formation is on the left, the sixth formation is on the middle, the seventh formation is on the right, and the No.12 formation is the rear reserve team, facing the battle of the Royal Navy of the Black Bear Empire aggressively group.

When the third battle group of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet was about 1.5 meters away from the Royal Navy battle group of the Black Bear Empire, the large-caliber main guns of the capital ships of the two sides began to bombard each other.

Amidst the rumble of guns, a restraint-class battleship with full main guns of the Royal Navy of the Black Bear Empire became the first warship to be sunk by the Royal Navy of the Black Bear Empire.

And this Binding-class battleship with full main guns was also the first warship to be sunk in the Dragon Whale Island naval battle.

The Binding class is the first battleship with full main guns built by the Black Bear Empire, with a full load displacement of 22000 tons and a maximum speed of 20 knots. It is equipped with four double-mounted 4mm main guns with 45 times the caliber.

Immediately after this naval battle, the second sunken warship soon appeared, and it turned out to be a binding-class battleship with full main guns of the Royal Navy of the Black Bear Empire.

Just after the war started, two battleships with full main guns were sunk on my side, which made the face of the commander of the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Black Bear Empire, Gert, a little ugly.

"Order a few lines of battle, close the distance, and aim for me!" Gert said to the captain of the Spitfire, Viktor, in a deep voice.

The Spitfire is the first ship of the Black Bear Empire Spitfire-class all-main-gun battleship, with a full-load displacement of 37800 tons and a maximum speed of 21 knots. It is equipped with five dual-mounted 5-caliber 45mm main guns.

Due to the large size of the fleets of both sides, some common tactics in naval battles are no longer applicable in this naval battle.

The two sides can only rely on their own strength to face each other head-on. The comparison is, who can shoot the cannon accurately, whose warship is stronger, and of course the key is who has more warships.

The officers and soldiers of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet can be said to have grown up through a series of naval battles. Just in terms of combat level, they are no weaker than the naval officers and soldiers of any orc country.

Moreover, the main gun shooting rangefinders equipped on the capital ships of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet have become more accurate after the modification of the Ganyang Arsenal, which has greatly improved the hit rate of the capital ships of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

The reason why the Zhou family's Ganyang Arsenal was able to modify the range finder for the main gun was that Zhou Rui obtained a variety of battleships and battlecruisers with full main guns from the lottery system.

These all main gun battleships and battlecruisers are equipped with a variety of shooting rangefinders. Ganyang Arsenal learned from each other's strengths and finally designed a shooting rangefinder with higher accuracy.

As the distance between the Third Battle Group of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet and the Royal Navy Battle Group of the Black Bear Empire narrowed to about [-] meters, the hit rate of both sides became higher and higher.

"Boom" A 380mm artillery shell fired by Liu Ergou's Fa Zhan, a god-class battleship of the Royal Navy of the Black Bear Empire, pierced the side armor.

Immediately, the 380mm artillery shell actually penetrated into an ammunition compartment of the Idol-class battleship with all main guns, detonating hundreds of tons of shells in the ammunition compartment.

The power of hundreds of tons of shells exploded, and the full-loaded 32700-ton full-armor battleship almost exploded in two, and quickly sank to the sea.

However, Liu Ergou hadn't recovered from the excitement of sinking an opponent's full main gun battleship with a single shot, and a large caliber shell hit the Battleship.

Liu Ergou watched as a shell pierced through the armored deck of the full main gun battleship of the Battleship, and the hairs on his body stood up.

If he was unlucky, this shell would also detonate the ammunition compartment of the Battleship, and he might not even be able to evacuate the Battleship in time.

Fortunately, before the war, the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet had already made arrangements for various situations. Even if he died along with the Battleship, the command system of the sixth formation would not be chaotic.

It's just that I was blind to the third concubine who just married into the door. She is a real lady of the family. If it weren't for the family's troubles, she wouldn't have taken advantage of herself.

Liu Ergou tightly grasped the handle on the bridge wall, waiting for the shock from the explosion of the shell, but after waiting for almost half a minute, the shell did not explode.

Soon a phone on the bridge rang, and after answering the phone, Captain Wu Shaoli of the Battleship said to Liu Ergou with lingering fear: "Liu Zhi, the shell just now landed in a place where the 380mm shell is stored. Near the ammunition compartment for the shells.

If it wasn't for the fact that this shell was a dud and didn't explode, maybe we would be doomed for fighting the warhorse. "

When Liu Ergou heard it, he couldn't help laughing: "Haha! It seems that my luck is still so good!

Tell the 4 gun commanders of the 4 main turrets to aim and shoot me!

With Lao Tzu in charge of them, if you don't sink 4 or 5 capital ships of the opponent today, it will not be considered as completing the task! "

2 Chapter Twenty Excited Allies

After the three battle groups of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet fought against the Royal Navy Battle Group of the Golden Lion Empire, the Royal Navy Battle Group of the Scarlet Tiger Empire, and the Royal Navy Battle Group of the Black Bear Empire.

Except for the third battle group that had the upper hand from the beginning, the other two battle groups of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet did not have much advantage on the scene. Among them, the first battle group of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet even showed a great disadvantage .

西南海防舰队的第一战斗群，4支主力编队加起来，一共下辖146艘全主炮战列舰和58艘战列巡洋舰，另外4支主力编队还拥有96艘大型装甲巡洋舰、160艘轻巡洋舰和192艘驱逐舰。

而金狮帝国皇家海军的战斗群，却拥有180艘全主炮战列舰、100艘战列巡洋舰、80艘全钢制战列舰、80艘大型装甲巡洋舰、260艘轻巡洋舰和300艘驱逐舰，几乎是全方面压制了西南海防舰队的第一战斗群。

西南海防舰队第二战斗群的情况还好一些，4支主力编队加起来，一共有138艘全主炮战列舰、66艘战列巡洋舰、96艘大型装甲巡洋舰、160艘轻巡洋舰和192艘驱逐舰。

赤虎帝国皇家海军的战斗群，则拥有150艘全主炮战列舰、70艘战列巡洋舰、70艘全钢制战列舰、70艘大型装甲巡洋舰、200艘轻巡洋舰和260艘驱逐舰。

The strength gap between the Second Battle Group of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet and the Royal Navy Battle Group of the Red Tiger Empire is not too big. After the two sides started the war, they fought evenly.

Seeing the disadvantages of the first battle group, Song Limin, the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, immediately transferred the two main fleets of the Liangyan Empire, which served as the general reserve, to the first battle group of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

梁燕海军的第一舰队和第二舰队，加起来拥有36艘全主炮战列舰、16艘战列巡洋舰、24艘全钢制战列舰、28艘大型装甲巡洋舰、50艘轻巡洋舰和60艘驱逐舰。

Now the command of the two main fleets of the Liangyan Empire has been handed over to Song Limin.

On the bridge of the all-main artillery battleship Xianyuan, the flagship of the First Fleet of the Liangyan Navy, Ma Yong, the captain of the Xianyuan, handed over the telegram sent by Song Limin to Yuan Yi, the commander of the First Fleet, and said with a wry smile: " Brother Yuan, I didn't expect that we would be playing so soon."

Yuan Yi took a look at the telegram, and said with a serious expression: "This naval battle can be said to be related to the fate of mankind, and our Liangyan Navy must not lose the chain!

According to the order of Commander Song Limin of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, we, the First Fleet and Second Fleet of the Liangyan Navy, will immediately join the First Battle Group of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet! "
