Chapter 677 A Great Victory (8)

"My telegram?"

Although Shang Jinfeng personally took over the Kunming ship to supervise the battle, he did not command the battle or interfered with Han Chao's command. Therefore, he was naturally a little surprised to receive a telegram from Wang Hailong.

However, after reading the telegram, Shang Jinfeng was not funny. Of course, he knew Wang Hailong's little thoughts. He was nothing more than being unable to hold back and ask for help from Han Chao of the same level, so he turned to his own side. However, the Southern Fleet needed the support of the Kunming ship, which was long as he expected. After all, the three modern warships of the Southern Fleet had limited attack methods, and they still had to rely on the Kunming ship.

Since the South Fleet asked for rescue and support, of course they could not sit idly by, so Shang Jinfeng sent his own guard to invite Han Chao to negotiate.

After a while, Han Chao came to Shang Jinfeng's office. Shang Jinfeng showed Wang Hailong's telegram to Han Chao, and then said: "How many strike weapons do the Kunming ship have now?"

Han Chao said: "There are 3 rounds of Eagle Strike 18**, 4 rounds of Haihongqi 9**, 6 rounds of Haihongqi, and then Changying 5**." He paused and said: "But Changying 5**, Haihongqi 16** are not enough range. If you want to use it, then the Kunming ship needs to advance at least 50 kilometers."

Shang Jinfeng said: "I don't consider the advancement of the Kunming ship for the time being, I just use these 3 eagle strikes 18** and 4 sea red flags 9**."

Han Chao nodded and said, "Minister Shang, I have considered supporting the Southern Fleet. I think the fleets of Russia and the Netherlands are not enough to be filtered, so they can be ignored. Although the British fleet still has 4 battleships, they are seriously damaged. If you use the Haihongqi 9** and 2 attacks one, it can basically guarantee sunk, but one attacks one, the result is unpredictable. Maybe you can sink all of these four warships, and maybe one is not sunk. Of course, even if you don't sink, you won't have much combat power."

After a pause, Han Chao said again: "But now, in the Far East Fleet, only the French fleet has basically no losses. Therefore, I think if we support the Southern Fleet, we should concentrate our strength and focus on attacking the French fleet. France has 5 battleships in total. Three battleships can be sunk with 3 eagles and 18**, and 4 sea red flags and 9**. If you attack one, you can ensure sunk, but attack two battleships at the same time. Each ship uses 2 sea red flags and can be severely damaged, but the chance of sinking is very low. How to choose the attack method?"

Shang Jinfeng nodded and said, "Send all these methods to Wang Hailong, let him decide and then upload the datagram of the warship to attack."

Han Chao said: "Yes."

Soon Wang Hailong received various plans to attack the expeditionary fleet from the Kunming ship. After negotiations with his staff, Wang Hailong decided to focus on the plan to attack the French fleet. After all, the four British battleships were severely damaged, so there was no need to worry about it. His attack methods were enough. Although the Russian and Dutch fleets also had three battleships, they could also be ignored because these three battleships were either old-fashioned battleships or second-class battleships, they didn't have to worry about it. Moreover, the Southern Fleet also had two battleships and five armored cruisers, which was not without the power of a battle.

Then the plan of the All-Stay Strike is: use 3 Eagle Strike 18** to attack 3 battleships, while the 4 Sea Red Flag 9** is divided into two batches to attack the other two battleships. However, the attack plan of the Sea Red Flag 9** has caused some controversy. Some staff members believe that it is better to cut off one of the fingers than to hurt their ten fingers, and it is better to concentrate 4 Sea Red Flag 9** to attack a battleship and sink them. Why bother attacking them separately?

But Wang Hailong believes that "it is better to cut one finger than to hurt ten fingers."

Of course, the principle is not wrong, but it cannot be used in dogma, because the Southern Fleet does not have any strike ability at all, but this ability is relatively weak. According to the strike effect of the Northern Fleet, the power of the Sea Red Flag 16** is weaker, and 6 rounds may not be able to sink a battleship. If you want to ensure sunk, at least 8-10 rounds are required. If you first use the Sea Red Flag 9** to severely damage it, and then use the Sea Red Flag 16**, you only need 2-4 rounds. Even if you cannot sink, the warships can basically lose their combat effectiveness and facilitate the People's Army to capture enemy ships. The Northern Fleet captured 3 battleships, and the Southern Fleet cannot be too few. It is guaranteed to capture 2. According to this plan, the heavy-hit warships include 4 British battleships, 2 French battleships, and three Dutch and Russian battleships. It is not difficult to capture 2 or 3 from them.

In the end, of course, Wang Hailong's plan was determined. Firstly, Wang Hailong's plan really made sense, and secondly, Wang Hailong is the commander-in-chief of the Southern Fleet and has arbitrary power. Theoretically, Wang Hailong can decide without considering anyone's opinions and everything is up to oneself.

At this time, the Expeditionary Fleet was less than 15 kilometers away from the Southern Fleet, so Wang Hailong ordered the fleet to attack and face the Expeditionary Fleet. At the same time, helicopters were ordered to send the data of the five French battleships to the Kunming ships, because at this time the Expeditionary Fleet was more than 100 kilometers away from the Kunming ships and exceeded the scanning range of the carrier-based radar.

In fact, at this time, the Expeditionary Fleet also discovered the South Fleet of the People's Army Fleet, with a number of about 20 ships, and at least 2 battleships can be confirmed. After receiving this news, the faces of the naval commanders of Britain, France, Russia and the Netherlands became very ugly. In fact, more than 20 warships were not too many. The Expeditionary Fleet could be completely resisted and could be easily defeated. But the problem is that the ** weapon used by the People's Army just now fell from the sky was too terrible. Who can guarantee that the fleet opposite did not have such a weapon? If that were true, the Expeditionary Fleet would probably be wiped out.

But at this point, the expeditionary fleet cannot give up, and they must fight for it no matter what. Perhaps this fleet does not have that kind of weapon. Although this possibility is not high, it is not completely gone, because the fleet just now did not completely kill itself.

Of course, at this time, the French fleet must assume important responsibilities. After all, only the French fleet in the expeditionary fleet is basically intact and has complete combat effectiveness. Of course, the French fleet is also not allowed to take office, and Commander Ginoer is still a little relieved, but at this moment, the lookout warned, "With an enemy attack, the artillery shells are coming again."

Although they were all mentally prepared, when they really came, everyone's hearts sank, and some even screamed in despair. After all, Ginoer was the commander of the fleet, and he was able to calm down at this time and quickly ordered "each ship can avoid it by themselves." However, even Ginoer himself could not believe whether this order was useful.

At this moment, with a loud "boom", Ginoer felt a huge tremor under his feet, and he suddenly stood unsteadily and fell to the ground. He knew very well that the People's Army's strike finally fell on the head of the French fleet.

Three eagle strikes launched from the Kunming ship hit the Massena, Buve and Jena. Although the hits were different, all three warships were blown to pieces without exception and began to sink into the water. The four sea red flags 9** hit the Sufferen and Joregibery respectively. Although they did not hit, they also severely damaged the two warships.

After receiving the report of the results of the ** strike, Wang Hailong was also very satisfied. The support of the Kunming ship was indeed sufficient, so he ordered the Yueyang ship and the Sanya ship to follow the final attack. On the two severely damaged French warships, as well as the three Russian and Dutch warships, each launching 4 sea red flags 16**, each launching 4 British warships 16**, each launching 4 British warships 16**, and each launching 2 eagle strikes 83**, each launching 5 French armored cruisers, and 1 eagle strike 83**, on the remaining 5 British cruisers.

In this way, the Southern Fleet fired more than 40 types of ** in one go. Although they were not launched together, they were also continuous. The entire strike time lasted for 5 minutes. There were nearly 20 warships hit.

In fact, after the attack was over, there were not many warships sunk. A total of only five warships were sunk, of which three were sunk, namely the battleship Hannibal, the armored cruiser Monmouth, and the protective cruiser Terror. These warships were all extremely damaged in the battle ahead, supporting the navigation on the sea surface without any force. Now they have been hit again. Although the blow is not big, they cannot withstand it and finally began to sink.

An armored cruiser, the Desert, was sunk in the British fleet. It was a medium-sized armored cruiser with a displacement of 7,600 tons, and another was the Russian battleship Retasrov. This battleship was not too old and was in service in 1896 and had a 10-year-old age. However, this battleship belongs to the Black Sea Fleet and mainly suppresses Turkey. Therefore, the displacement is only 9,700 tons, the main gun caliber is only 253 mm, and the armor is not thick. As a result, the warship was sunk by 4 16** of the sea red flag.

Of course, this round of strikes is mainly psychological for the expeditionary fleet, because the fleet that intercepted itself not only has such terrible weapons, but also seems to have a large number, so this battle cannot be fought at all. Therefore, at this time, many people's psychology was completely collapsed. They accelerated their lives regardless of the fleet's discipline and order. Some were completely stunned and rushed forward. However, most of the troops remained a little rational. Some turned to flee the side, hoping to bypass the People's Army fleet, and some turned around and first set off the distance from the People's Army fleet.
