Chapter 1358 Hold Your Ground

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the sea battlefield with shells flying randomly, with the gradual reversal of the situation, the imperial fleet in trouble, after enduring the continuous bombardment of three battleships, is in an extremely bad situation.

    As a naval admiral who was ordered in a crisis and was driven to the shelves, Pol Kruf was obviously in a mess at this time.

    Their great emperor's tactical plan is undoubtedly useful.

    In a situation where their imperial navy was basically unilaterally massacred by the opponent, they had achieved a clear result abruptly.

    However, under this premise, they still failed to win the battle. There is no way to do it. It can only be said that the Yangtze River Fleet, as the enemy, has much stronger hard power than their imperial navy.

    Looking at the entire battle situation now, Tong Lei, who has stabilized his position and regained the rhythm of the battle, has changed his tactics in the state where all the suicide ships have been wiped out.

    Directly called back the scattered destroyers and formed a tight formation.

    According to the thickness of the battleship's armor, the bombardment power of their destroyers can hardly pose much threat.

    The only effective means of attack is probably the face-to-face torpedo.

    But the other side also knew this in their hearts, so the destroyers of the Imperial Fleet had been completely stared to death.

    Even the three battleships of the Yangtze River Fleet specially mobilized some secondary artillery to attack.

    At this moment, as the maritime overlord of this era, the tyrannical strength of the battleship has been safely demonstrated.

    At this moment, a strong desire to retreat has already risen in Pol Kruf's heart.

    The odds slipped through his fingers, and the battle situation in front of him already made him feel that there was no chance of winning. Even if the fight continued, the counterattack battleship he was on at this time would have to be under the enemy's main artillery fire.  Sink under force!

    There is no time to think about it, now is the time to make sacrifices.

    The signal was sent out to directly call back those destroyers that were already difficult to pose a threat to the Yangtze River Fleet.

    Obviously, Pol Kruf intends to let these destroyers help them clear a way out.

    After all, in terms of value alone, the loss of using destroyers to open the way is the least.

    And thinking about it carefully, although he failed to win this battle, he managed to sink one of the enemy's battleships, plus a large number of destroyers.

    Even if there is no credit, but after returning, it should not be punished.

    With such thoughts in mind, Pol Kruf felt even more withdrawn.

    And Tong Lei in the distance obviously guessed the enemy's mind.

    The naval gun strikes of the three battleships swept past one after another, and the intention to sink the opponent was self-evident.

    Amid the continuous roar of artillery fire, another heavy cruiser in the Imperial Fleet was sunk abruptly by this tyrannical firepower.

    During this period, a destroyer squad moved forward quickly and launched an attack.

    But it is a pity that the torpedoes on the destroyer have basically been used in the previous battle to stop the suicide ship.

    Destroyers without torpedoes can say that their own firepower has dropped significantly, and it is difficult to pose enough threats to enemy ships.

    All the way at the cost of sacrificing destroyers, the Imperial Fleet's Battleship Counterattack and the surviving heavy cruiser quickly left the minefield.

    Now Tong Lei, who had gradually gained the upper hand, naturally did not intend to let them go, and gave the pursuit order directly.

    Between chasing and fleeing, the speed was faster, and a destroyer chasing ahead quickly sent a signal

    "Reporting to Lieutenant Colonel, the enemy's destroyed destroyer has dropped a large number of mines in the sea ahead!"

    Tong Lei's eyelids twitched slightly when he heard this, and then, after taking a deep breath, he spoke in a deep voice

    "Stop the pursuit, confirm the damage of each ship, and prepare to join the rear supply ship."

    This is a very helpless situation. Once the mine is dropped, it is definitely not possible to go straight there. If you choose to bypass it, that time is enough for the imperial fleet to escape, so it has become a meaningless move.

    Temporarily returning to their temporary stronghold, Tong Lei, who was sitting in the captain's room and looking at the battle damage report in front of him, felt extremely heavy.

    Of the four battleships, battleship No. 006 sank, one was moderately damaged, and the remaining two were slightly damaged.

    Of the twenty destroyers, nine were sunk, one was severely damaged, four were moderately damaged, and the remaining six were all slightly damaged.

    For the Yangtze River Fleet, which has always had the absolute upper hand, this wave of losses is simply disastrous!

    In and behind the supply ship.After the fusion, the lightly damaged and moderately damaged battleships can still be repaired, but the severely damaged destroyer is almost burnt out even its engine, and it is basically close to being scrapped.

    Now on the South China Sea battlefield, the remaining combat power of the Yangtze River Fleet is only three battleships and ten destroyers.

    At the same time, the fleeing imperial fleet quickly left the sea area after going in a circle, sailed into a tributary connecting the inland, and quickly docked at the nearest port.

    After this battle was fought, the Yangtze River Fleet suffered heavy losses, and the losses of the Imperial Fleet were naturally not too small.

    The suicide ships were all destroyed.

    There are only two destroyers left, one of which is almost half destroyed.

    Of the four heavy cruisers, three were sunk and one was severely damaged.

    The only battleship Repulse was also blown out of a main naval gun, and the damage to the hull was not light at all.

    And under this premise, 80% of the record in this battle can be said to have been hit by suicide ships.

    In this way, in order to ensure his own situation, Paul Kruf naturally had to work harder when writing the report.

    To write about the various dangers of this battle, and at the same time, the major feat of sinking an enemy battleship must be described emphatically, and then vaguely add a sentence of destroying more than a dozen destroyers, so that  People have a feeling that their merits outweigh their demerits.

    There is naturally an exaggeration in this.

    The battle situation was so chaotic at the time, who could have noticed how many destroyers were destroyed?

    However, relatively, there is no way to verify it.

    So as long as you don't write too much in the report, even if you find out that there are one or two errors in the end, you can still say that the battle situation was chaotic at the time, and it is basically impossible for the higher authorities to pursue it if you misread it.

    In this way, such a report was quickly sent to the Imperial City.

    After seeing the report, Charlie Klumber breathed a sigh of relief.

    At least for now, the suicide ship style of play is useful.

    However, according to his original expectation, he wanted to kill at least two battleships on the opposite side when the opponent's combat power was scattered. This point, his Imperial Fleet obviously failed to achieve
