Chapter 153:Outbreak of Naval Warfare (7/10)

On the flagship of the Indian Ocean Fleet, Ji Fenglin sat firmly on the fishing table, listened to the reports sent by the various squadrons, and waited quietly.

When the first and second teams were preparing for the attack, the last torpedo detachment also sent a report of readiness.

At this time, the flagship also received a code communication from the British.

“This is the British Far Eastern Fleet, please stop approaching, or it will be regarded as a declaration of war against the British Navy.”

Seeing the contents of the code telegram, Ji Fengling was domineering with orders: "Tell David that the old lady was fighting the British Far East Fleet."

At the same time as the telegram was sent, Ji Fengling also picked up the whole fleet broadcast communicator and officially issued an order: "I order the Indian Ocean fleet to attack the British Far East Fleet in accordance with Plan No. 3."

In the No. 3 attack plan, on the first and six battleships of the World War II team as a priority attack, the six weapons commanders issued the order for the shelling at the same time.

The main gun of the main battleship in the center of the British Far East Fleet had already been aimed at, and at the same time roared, and the fire emitted at the mouth of the gun illuminated the entire sea.

When the main gun of the battleship opened fire at the same time, the secondary guns on the battleship were all aimed at the small warships on the outskirts of the British Far East Fleet, six battleships, and more than a hundred large and small artillery sisses, which were very spectacular and shocking.

Those who do not stand on the battleship are difficult to feel the strong stimulation brought by the roar of the ship, and can fully stimulate the adrenaline secretion of the human body.

On the British fleet, David had just seen the telegram of the bell, which was very angry, and was about to order war, on the far side of the sea, all the guns were fired.

Almost a straight-line ballistic shot of secondary artillery shells, the first to explode on the outskirts of the British fleet, several British gunboats only a few thousand meters away, hit by ruthless shells, the explosion ignited the warship, some British sailors, rushed into the sea.

“Damn, how far is that?”Putting down the telescope and looking at the enemy at least a dozen kilometers away, David asked with some words.

At a time when the main gun had a target rate of less than four percent, the battle distance of the warships was about six kilometers, and most of them were at war at a distance of six kilometers.

In this way, we can improve the hit rate as much as possible, otherwise, if the distance is too far, the cannonball alone will fly for a long time, and the warship can not really only advance in a straight line, and in the time when the shells fall, enough warships to make evasive actions.

However, when the shells fell, David was very worried to find that the first round of shelling by the enemy, and at a distance of more than ten kilometers, the projectile was shot and placed within 20 meters of each ship.

Although the capital ship's luck is good, not a single capital ship was hit by the first round of shelling, but such a terrible hit rate, but it is not discounted.

After all, it is not a certain lucky shell that is close to the warship, but every shot falls on the edge of the warship.

"Avoid the formation immediately."David ordered in time.

At this time, the fleet of destroyers and squadrons sent a message to find the formation of enemy small warships, and David also issued a decisive order: "The cruiser and destroyer immediately attack, the main fleet to avoid the formation, approaching the enemy's main fleet."

A command was given and soon reached on all the English warships.

However, whether it is David, who gave the order, or the ships that received the order, do not know that the order has been tampered with.

The British Far East Fleet, which was directly dispersed, had no idea what was waiting for them.

At the first time the order was received, the three British cruiser formations immediately approached the enemy ship on the right side of the fleet.

The speed of the fourteenth knots was also raised to twenty-four knots, and nine cruisers, in front of them, thought to be lost in the direction of the enemy naval destroyer formation, and soon dislodged from the main battle fleet.

But no one cares, because every squadron is out of its original formation.

It was almost twenty minutes before the march, and the shadowy shadows in the distance made the captains of the three cruiser formations feel very bad.

There are three main warships under Fan Yize, in addition to battleships and cruisers, there is a destroyer with a tonnage of about 5,000 tons.

Although this era did not understand why a 5,000-ton destroyer was built, the combat effectiveness, calculated by the combat sequence of the British internal operations, at least it required cruisers to deal with such destroyers.

At the same time, the British Navy also banned cruisers from dealing with cruisers under Fan Yize, unless they were heavy cruisers.

Yet the distant appearance of the enemy fleet, the size of the warships, was not at all a destroyer, and most likely a cruiser.

And the British, about seven thousand tons, just two twelve-inch double-armed cruisers, could be the opponents of Fan Yize those cruisers.

“The choking...”

The guns sounded like a drum, and the British captains in the formation of the three cruisers knew very well that if they retreated now, they would have to be run, and the other side's speed exceeded themselves, and the result would be even more tragic.

Just as he was about to face the British cruiser on his scalp, he saw a shell that fell three or four meters on the edge of the battleship, and couldn't help but take a breath of cool air.

The British Navy, who knew the fleet under Fan Yize, had a terrible hit rate, but it was a completely different concept in peacetime, and understanding it face-to-face in naval warfare.

The shells that bombarded the water surface and drenched the British sailors on the cruiser into the chickens, which was already the best result, and at least one of the British sailors on the cruiser was not so lucky.

A shell landed on the cruiser's sulphur, and the explosion not only blew the entire stern open, but also broke the propeller, lost the power to move forward, and the speed immediately slowed down.

At a distance of more than ten thousand meters, it was possible to hit the first round, and all the British cruisers could not resist firing, because if they did not fire again, they would really be passively beaten.

The dense artillery roared across the sky, and the Indian Ocean Fleet Cruiser Fleet in the distance also immediately carried out a second round of shelling.

The shells crossed the night sky, the light of the cannonballs like a meteor, in the near the midst of many British soldiers, the cruiser that had to stop was hit by several shells in a row, and most of the British sailors on board were even too late to escape the warships, and the shells blew the seven-thousand-ton cruiser into a complete body.

On the side side of the other cruiser, a shell blazed, and the British sailors in the whole battleship were almost deaf in their ears, and the shells that exploded close to the surface of the water blew up a huge mouth, and a secondary gun was directly dropped on the sea.
