Chapter 299 Victory in the Battle of Huangyan Island(1/2)
The sea breeze is howling, and it is the time of high tide, and the tide is surging and rustling.
If you act at this time, you can often cover up the roar of the motor.
Klaus is obviously a famous British Navy general. In addition to failing to fall into the sand in China, he is still very influential internationally and is well aware of changes in ocean tides.
He immediately seized this opportunity and quietly ordered the British fleet to move slowly towards the exit direction.
The night covered the Victorian warship painting, the sea breeze and tides covered the roar of the motor, and everything was going on in secret.
The British Navy was cautious and nervous, and his heart was in his throat, for fear that the Chinese Navy would suddenly come out and ambush them.
The British seven ironclad ships did not take the lead, but let the five cruise ships open the way. In fact, they planned to sacrifice these five cruise ships, because Klaus knew very well that the Chinese Navy would definitely deploy radium near the exit and encounters would occur, so he had to leave the ironclad ship to deal with it.
With a loud bang, the Nep Nep's cruise ship hit the radium.
A huge hole was instantly blown by water radium in a certain part below the bow waterline, causing huge waves of more than ten meters high. The instantaneous firelight was particularly eye-catching in the dark night.
"How is that possible?"
The British army watched as the bow of the Neptune touched a large amount of water into the water, slowly sinking, and their foreheads were full of question marks.
As a pioneer, Neptune was a mission to kill, but it was not without preparation. The British army installed huge iron plates in front of the bow, just like the same method when they were in Manila Bay.
Originally, this method was foolproof, but there was a problem.
The iron plate in front of the bow of the Neptune was fine, but the back was blown up.
This is really a hell!
The British army, including Klaus, felt incredible.
However, they had no time to think about why, because the explosion would inevitably attract the attention of the Chinese navy, who was alerted around them.
"Neptune moves aside, and Orion (Onlyon) makes up to speed up the breakthrough!"
This is an emergency strategy formulated by Klaus from the beginning. Neptune quickly accelerated its sailing next to it. A few miles away is the reef on Huangyan Island. Most of the water depth is less than one meter. As long as it is stranded there, it will avoid sinking. If the warship can be repaired in time, it can also catch up with the fleet and break through together, otherwise it will be stranded on the island and reef forever, as a fixed fort, and fend for itself.
The Orian continued to explore the way forward, and it was an accident that all the British troops regarded Neptune as the asterisk. The British troops just wanted to break out quickly and had no time to think about why.
However, just a few minutes later, the Orion exploded again in radium, emitting a brilliant fire.
This time, the British troops on the warship behind saw clearly that the explosion was not at the bow, nor on the iron plate, but near the waterline belt of the ship.
"Not Shui Ra!"
"That thing is attacking us!"
No one in the British army could say clearly what that thing was. They had only seen it in Manila Bay. At that time, two Chinese Navy fish and radium boats suddenly launched an attack. The fish and radium were launched and sank two British warships. But they didn't know that they were called fish and radium boats and radium, so they always called it "that thing".
However, this time the British army only saw the explosion light, but did not see the fast fish radium boat nearby.
Suspicion overwhelmed all the British naval officers and soldiers, making them feel scared. The dark night that was unable to see their fingers even worsened their fear.
"It's a ghost, let's go quickly, or we'll all die here!"
A British sailor on the cruise ship "Ajax" suddenly screamed in horror. He rushed towards Deputy Guan in a mad manner. He pushed the airlock to the end and the entire warship quickly accelerated.
"What are you doing? Stop it!"
"Damn it! Pull him away!"
The British sailor was quickly stopped, but the "Ajax" deviated from the route in chaos.
This is a very dangerous thing. You should know that the water radium may have been laid by the Chinese Navy underwater. The captain quickly slowed down and turned around, but the huge ship was not so easy to turn around.
With a bang, the "Ajax" hit the "Dorset County" next to it, and the British troops on the ship instantly fell to the ground. They thought they had hit Shui Lei, and they screamed, and some sailors even jumped into the sea to escape immediately.
The British army on the Dorset County were so angry that they were about to collapse. They did not load the water radium, but were hit by their own people. Because the British ships had designed the collision corner, the bow of the Ajax hit the rear of the port side of the Dorset County, which suddenly penetrated a large hole and poured a large amount of sea water in, causing the Dorset County to sink quickly.
The captain of the "Ajax" was instantly panicked and hurriedly ordered a reverse. As a result, the servo driver was turning. The sudden reversal caused the stern of the "Ajax" to sway to the other side, further deviating from the channel.
In the dark night, the British ships divided into two teams, one after another, and the "Ajax" made such a fuss, sank Dorset County, and reversed its own desert, but it encountered the Norfolk that was coming behind. Both ships were seriously injured, and a large amount of sea water flowed back into the cabin, and the situation was critical.
History has proved countless times that the collision angles designed by warships in this year have never sank enemy ships in regular naval battles, but have frequently sank friendly warships.
The successive ship collisions occurred, which immediately caused the entire British fleet to fall into chaos.
Fortunately, the British army was usually strict in training, and at this moment it was reflected. Seeing that the British ship in the rear saw that it was not good in front, they quickly fired out the lights and stopped moving forward.
But in this way, the lights of the British fleet undoubtedly exposed the fleet
"A bunch of waste!" Klaus lowered his feet and stamped his chest, wishing he could go up and kill these idiots who commanded the battleships himself.
Carter hurriedly said, "Let's find a way faster, we're exposed."
How could Klaus not know this? But now he has no choice but to do anything. He can only do it alive.
"Strange, the Chinese Navy seems to have not moved yet?"
"Yes, our warships have touched radium. Logically speaking, the Chinese Navy should have known it, but there is no sign of them."
On the dark night, you can only hear the sound of the tides in the sea. Without the light, the visibility is less than ten meters and nothing can be seen.
Klaus frowned and looked at the night.
If the Chinese Navy came to fight, he might not be worried. But until now, the Chinese Navy has not made any noise. This has made him nervous.
If something goes wrong, there will be a demon!
The more he was unable to grasp the movements of the Chinese Navy, the more he was afraid.
Klaus looked at Carter and asked, "What do you think is going on?"
Carter understood that Klaus's questioning was equivalent to losing his judgment. So he could only answer: "The Chinese have always been tricky, I suggest giving up the action!"
“Give up the action?”
Klaus almost swears, and really wanted to kick Carter away. This was clearly the old fox's self-protection tactic. He knew that Klaus would not retreat and he had to persuade him to give up his actions. If something went wrong, the responsibility was all on Klaus himself, and Carter left it all in his hands.
"Maybe the Chinese Navy has left!"
Well, Klaus's reason is even more self-deception. But if he wants to retreat to Huangyan Island, it will definitely not work, because it will be even more difficult to break through the situation in the future.
In fact, not only Klaus was caught blindly, but the Chinese Navy in the darkness in the distance was also stunned for a while.
The original combat plan was to wait for the British Navy to hit the pocket array set up by the Chinese Navy on the periphery. The Chinese Navy would concentrate all warships, fish radium boats and submarines to conduct an encirclement and annihilation battle.
As a result, the British Navy itself became in chaos, which made Chinese Navy Commander Chen Shaoyi feel that the problem was difficult.
What Chen Shaoyi was most worried about was that the British navy was in chaos. In that case, British ships would run around, and it would be difficult to completely intercept them in the darkness. A large number of fish that escaped the net would escape.
What is necessary to arrange all this is to completely wipe out the British Navy Asian fleet, otherwise there would be no need to go through a lot of trouble.
Seeing the British fleet in chaos, Chen Shaoyi had to change his combat plan and immediately ordered the Yu Radius Boat formation to take the initiative to attack. Taking advantage of the chaos in the British fleet, he launched a Yu Radius Boat Radius Boat Raid.
The tonnage of the fish radium boat is small, so you don’t have to worry about the water radium at five or six meters deep in the water. It is also fast. It can easily get close to the British fleet under the cover of night.
Previously, the British ships touched radium, and the brief flames had exposed the general position of the British fleet, so the Chinese naval fish radium craft formation could easily lock in the target.
The fish radium boat did not accelerate directly to approach the British ship, but slowly approached the middle. Although the motor sounded roaring, the sound was very small and almost covered by the tide. In addition, the British sailors on the British ship were panicked and did not discover the danger immediately.
The safe launch distance of the Chinese Navy's fish radium boat is one thousand meters, but it was under the high-speed impact of the fish radium boat, and now it is quietly approaching the enemy ship. The speed is very slow, so the safe launch distance is only four or five hundred meters. Because of the cover of night, the British army cannot see it at all, and even if it is discovered, there is enough time to turn around and retreat.
The night was originally too dark, and even if it was launched four or five hundred meters, it was difficult to see the target clearly. However, some British sailors on the British ships turned on the lights in a panic, which was to prevent British ships from colliding, but now they have become targets in the eyes of the Chinese Navy.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The fish and radium were quickly launched, traveled through the sea for hundreds of meters before floating out of the sea, and rushed towards the British fleet at high speed.
In the first round, a total of fifteen fish radium were fired. Because the target was too blurry, the accuracy was not high. Most of them missed, passed by the British ship and rushed to the beach in the distance.
Only two fish radium hit two British cruise ships, the "York" and the "Exeter".
Bang! Bang!
With two loud bangs, the waterline belt of the ship York and the stern waterline belt of the ship Exeter were hit by fish radium, and exploded with a bang.
The hulls of the two British ships were instantly blown up a huge gap, and fire and thick smoke were sprayed out, and the sea water quickly poured in.
Two huge and fiery red mushroom clouds rose into the sky, instantly illuminating half of the sky.
"It's the Chinese Navy, there!"
Under the light, the British sailors finally discovered Chinese naval fish radium boats four or five hundred meters away.
"Fire the fire!"
When the British sailors saw the fish-radium boats, they immediately thought of the small fast warship they encountered in Manila Bay. They were immediately scared and were bloodless and rushed to fire.
Dongdongdongdong! Dongdongdongdongdong!
British ships had already loaded shells, but they had no targets.
At this moment, the British sailors were already like frightened birds, firing almost madly, trying to destroy the Chinese Navy's fish-radium craft formation.
The moment the two British ships were shot and exploded, the light of the mushroom cloud also allowed the Chinese Navy Fish Radiation Boat fleet to see the locations of all nearby British ships, thus the second round of Fish Radiation was launched.
This time, all fifteen fish and radium boats fired in two consecutive shots, shooting all fish and radium at the British fleet, and then quickly turned around and evacuated because the British shells were already hit by the sky.
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang bang bang!
