The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 2772: Vanguard War II

but now? Ha ha, let alone Raidel, even if handed over to the command of little Fletcher, this Japanese destroyer squadron will not have a good result! what? What do you say the Japanese fleet battleship is doing? The Japanese battleships were naturally busy intercepting Sims' main force, and the place where the destroyers were fighting was actually behind the Japanese fleet! How can the Japanese battleships have time to stop and find trouble with Raidel?

   "Rush up and kill them!" Raidel commanded looking at the Japanese destroyer squadron that was reorganizing in the distance.

  At this time, Mikawa Junichi is working hard to allocate his fleet, and then he divided the remaining 10 destroyers into two teams, preparing to take turns to interfere with the lightning strikes of the US destroyer squad, but all this is destined to be in vain!

   "What's that?" A watchman seemed to see two fast-moving figures in the smoke, even faster than a light cruiser!

   "Is it an American destroyer?" someone next to him asked.

   "Impossible, the destroyer does not have such a large bridge." The watcher said. However, after a few minutes, there is no need to worry about this problem, because the other party used cannonballs to tell the Japanese their identity!

   Compared to the Bavarian-class battleships, American armored cruisers are faster, more flexible and have a higher rate of fire of their main guns! However, for a destroyer, whether it is a 10-inch gun or a 15-inch gun is equally deadly! Two U.S. armored cruisers rushed out of the smoke and leaned wildly at a distance of less than 7000 meters from the Japanese destroyer. Eight 10-inch guns spewed at a rate of more than 3 rounds per minute. The two cruisers instantly sent two Japanese ships. The destroyer is shrouded in a sea of ​​flames!

"Fleet evasion! Cast torpedoes and smoke!" Unprepared, the Sanchuan Army immediately prepared to evacuate the fleet. However, the shells were still faster than the destroyers. Before they heard the whistling sound, they fired a shell weighing more than 200 kilograms. Already in the queue of the Japanese destroyer fleet, a destroyer next to Mikawa Army 1 was hit directly. A 10-inch shell plunged into the middle of the destroyer’s hull. With a violent explosion, the entire boiler warehouse was hit. Shattered!

The battleship Mecklenburg, which appeared later, also achieved its first result in the daytime battle. A 15-inch shell hit a Japanese destroyer that was turning, and a huge fireball rose from the rear of the destroyer. From there, the entire two decks were shattered by high-explosive bombs. The propellers and steering gears were also completely destroyed in the explosion. A large amount of seawater poured in from the stern. In just a few minutes, the destroyer entered from the rear. The water was serious and a serious tail tilt occurred! And when the other Japanese destroyers escaped, the warship sank into the sea like a saber stuck in the sea.

Except for a handful of destroyers, most of the Japanese destroyers have burned all torpedoes in the previous match. The destroyers of this era are not like the two-digit torpedoes when they go out in the Second World War. Some can still be Regardless of the state, a destroyer usually has 6 torpedoes! When the battleship Mecklenburg joined the battlefield later, the entire battle was instantly one-sided. The fighting time was very short. A few minutes later, under the pursuit of the Ryder fleet, the destroyer unit of Mikawa Junichi was completely destroyed. After dropping 3 seriously injured destroyers again, the remaining 7 destroyers were hit by fierce gunfire. It’s impossible to get together again in a short time!

   "The situation is not good!" Sanchuan Junichi quickly realized that the battle situation was going out of control! Our interception line was breached by the opponent in a short period of time, and the main force fleet has no time to take care of this side, so if nothing happens, the next step is under the cover of three capital ships, as many as 18 destroyer units will be The main force of the Japanese combined fleet was struck by lightning. Perhaps these torpedoes are not fatal, but they will definitely disrupt the formation of the entire fleet! And you have to know that at this time, the main fleets of both sides are about to fight! When fighting, one team is tightly formed, and if the other team is in a hurry, they will lose half before the fight begins!

   "To send a telegram to the headquarters, saying that the situation is out of control, and our intercepting destroyer squadron has been dispersed. The other side is very likely to start a lightning strike!" Sanchuan Junyi said. Even in Mikawa's view, the current situation is very unfriendly to the Japanese fleet! However, he still underestimated Betty's judgment of the situation and ability to adapt to changes!

   "It is worthy of Raidel, none of the first-line generals of the German Navy who have experienced the war can be dealt with." Betty said with some emotion.

   "Let's implement plan two!" Betty said to Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu.

   "Will it be too dangerous to perform this maneuver at this time?" Shimamura Hayao asked.

"It must be executed. We can't ignore Raidel and his destroyers who are behind. Their destroyers can seriously interfere with our formation, and if Raidel's performance is better, they will be the last two King Kong-class battles. The cruiser will be very dangerous," Betty said. "Don’t worry, we still have 2 dreadnoughts~lightnovelpub.net~ Our capital ships still have the advantage, even if we can’t get the advantage through high speed, but as long as we keep the fighting distance, we still have a lot Odds of winning."

In a very short period of time, Betty has weighed the pros and cons. After the plan to take advantage of the high speed cannot be realized, then she will die, keep a good distance, and let the Fuso-class battleships and Nagato-class battleships at the core of the Japanese fleet. In addition to the penetration range of the US 14-inch naval gun, at this distance, Japan’s 15-inch and 16-inch naval guns have a chance to penetrate the other side, but the other side cannot penetrate the first-line Japanese battleships, so Japan still has the advantage and sticks to it. After the base bomber is in place, there is still a chance to kill the opponent in one go!

  Although Betty admitted that Raidel's actions were still useful, he forced the Japanese army to abandon the best plan, but if you only think of securing the victory by a small victory in the avant-garde battle, it is still impossible! The Japanese Navy has many cards to play!

   "Let's start!" Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu ended all discussions. After a while, with a series of signal flag changes, the Japanese fleet began to move!

The remaining destroyers quickly surpassed the capital ships. They separated between the main fleets of both sides and began to release smoke. Soon, a thick smoke wall almost blocked the vision of both sides, and because the distance between the two sides was still relatively far, Sims The fleet was also unable to take offensive actions, and under the cover of layers of smoke, the Japanese main fleet began to maneuver!
