- I have to say that Tong Lei really guessed right on this point.
The manufacturing cycle of battleships is too long, and at the same time, the consumption is too high. After completing the manufacture of one battleship, Charlie Klumber, who was worried that the war would start before the second battleship was completed, ordered someone to start Build heavy cruisers.
To some extent, this is indeed a clear compromise.
After all, according to the situation of the empire at the time, it would be very unwise to continue to suffocate the battleships.
Now let¡¯s get back to the topic, there is only one battleship on the opposite side. According to the investigation results of the Elf Druids, the remaining four battleships with a large tonnage, although they seem to have good firepower, are obviously impossible to compare with the battleship
At this moment, Tong Lei also showed the decisiveness that a fleet commander should have.
"Proceed with the order to maintain a speed of 20 knots. The entire fleet enters a first-level readiness state. Position southeast. All battleships are ready for bombardment!"
Following this order, the heavy main guns of the four battleships slowly turned.
By the time the Imperial Fleet discovered the existence of the Yangtze River Fleet, it was already too late.
The moment the opponent entered the attack range, the battleship's main gun, which had been locked in a large direction, swept through with a round of salvo after relatively efficient adjustments!
The powerful shelling directly caused the entire sea area to shake violently, and the imperial fleet, which was caught off guard, lost its opportunity just after the opening.
Two of the civilian warships sank on the spot after being hit by the battleship's main guns, failing to create half a point of value in this battle.
There was no time to think about it. As a naval admiral who was kicked out of the boat when the country was in crisis, Pol Kruf could only bite the bullet and issue a counterattack order at this moment.
In this, by the way, it is worth mentioning that the name of the battleship he was riding on at this time was the 'Counterattack', and one can imagine the meaning of it.
The situation was urgent, and the triple-mounted main guns located on the bow of the counterattack fired first, but failed to hit any enemy ships.
Although from the beginning, he didn't expect it to hit with one blow, and he was mentally prepared, but now facing this result, Pol Kruf still gritted his teeth.
Obviously, at the moment when the gun was fired, he still hoped that a miracle would happen, for example, directly sinking the enemy's battleship or something. At that time, not only would the enemy's fleet's naval combat power be weakened, but his own morale would also be improved. Substantial improvement.
Of course, the reality can now be clearly recognized, and orders were issued quickly. As the only battleship in the imperial fleet, the Retaliation slowly turned sideways to adjust its shelling angle.
At the same time, the four heavy cruisers also bit the bullet and rushed forward while joining the battle of firepower.
The situation at sea is undergoing subtle changes.
In this regard, the Yangtze River Fleet, which temporarily has an advantage in range and firepower, will naturally not be soft-hearted. The four battleships fired frequently and launched a merciless naval artillery attack.
A naval battle in the South China Sea of ??the Empire officially kicked off at this moment!
At the same time, Yuan Xi, who didn't know that the empire's sea fleet had been dispatched for the time being, was rushing back to the South China Sea at the fastest speed along the Grand Canal that ran through most of the northern border with half of the strength of the Yangtze River Fleet.
Compared with the time when they went around the outer sea area earlier, this canal channel inside the empire is obviously much faster, which can save them a lot of time.
Even so, after setting sail from Manning City, it may take two to three months to rush back to the South China Sea.
In order to get information about the South China Sea as soon as possible, he had already sent the elf druids accompanying the army to fly back to confirm.
However, after that, Yuan Xi was still unavoidable for a while.
"Colonel, with Lieutenant Colonel Tong Lei here, nothing should happen, right?"
The one who spoke at this time was another adjutant of Yuan Xi, Wang Sheng.
At only twenty-six years old, he is already a captain of the navy. In their Yangtze River Fleet, he can be regarded as young and promising, and he is also one of the young talents that their navy is currently focusing on training.
The qualifications are much lower than Tong Lei's, and there are still many things to learn, so for now, I will temporarily follow him and act as his deputy.
Hearing Wang Sheng's words at this moment, Yuan Xi, who was frowning slightly at that time, shook his head immediately.
"Lieutenant Colonel Tong Lei's ability is naturally no problem. He has been in the army for many years.??Experience is also extremely rich, but"
Having said that, Yuan Xi's voice paused slightly, as if he remembered something, he couldn't help but sighed.
But he didn't continue talking, or he didn't know what to say.
Because Tong Lei has a shortcoming, that is, he is too rigid in doing things and lacks flexibility.
To put it simply, if he and Tong Lei conduct a battle deduction.
Then, before the start, Yuan Xi could accurately report all Tong Lei's operations from the first step to the tenth step, which were absolutely normal to the extreme textbook operations, without any surprises.
And it was precisely because of this that Yuan Xi was worried.
Judging from the entire naval battle situation, their Myriad Worlds civilization has an absolute advantage.
The naval combat power of the enemy empire was completely suppressed by them.
But now that the fleet led by him showed up at the Manning City battlefield, the fact that their Yangtze River Fleet's forces had been dispersed was naturally exposed.
If the opponent wants to turn the tables, when their Yangtze River Fleet's combat power is dispersed, it is an excellent opportunity.
In other words, even if one's own warships are outnumbered, the opponent will fight with a "fight" mentality.
Under this premise, if the opponent wants to win, they will inevitably use some special tactics.
And it is this special tactical method that happens to be what Tong Lei is least good at dealing with
There is no doubt that Charlie Klumber, as a player, also knows this.
As the commander of the fleet, Paul Kluve is a talent of good general level. Charlie Klumber doesn't expect him to save the world, he only needs him to execute the plan, which is very reliable.
I saw that while the heavy-fire warships of the two sides were fighting each other, the enemy's civilian warships and destroyers, which were small warships, quickly evacuated away, and then, in an outflanking formation, rushed towards the Yangtze River Fleet in a large area. over here.
In this regard, Tong Lei, who confirmed the situation at the first time, behaved fairly calmly, and directly signaled the destroyers under his command to come forward to meet him.
At this moment, above this piece of sea area, the battle of the second stage has already begun!
