To the east of the Shuangche Strait, the heavy cruiser "Wuzhou" is.

"Captain!"

When the staff member shouted loudly, a colonel officer walked into the bridge with great strides, the captain of the "Wuzhou" guard.

Now, it is almost two o'clock in the morning on the 27th.

Ten minutes ago, the communications consultant of the Shijiuan called him to wake him up from his dream, saying that he had received a telegram forwarded from the Zushima base and asked him to go to the bridge immediately.

The force of leaving the bed made the guard want to scold people, but he still held back.

Yesterday evening, after leaving the Third Air Special Mixed Fleet, the cruiser fleet led by the "Wuzhou" ran for seven hours at a maximum speed of 35 knots, and arrived at the west entrance of the Shuangche Strait after one o'clock in the morning. During the voyage, the four light cruisers also sent two seaplanes to monitor the Strait. In fact, they went to search for the waters near the Strait, and each seaplane was equipped with hundreds of flares.

Because both the boiler and the steam turbine are running overload, the fleet slows down immediately after arriving.

No captain, including the Guards, hopes that during the battle, he will be paralyzed on the sea due to boiler explosion or steam turbine failure and become a target for enemy ships.

After that, he stayed for another half an hour, and after the eight seaplanes returned safely, the guards returned to the captain's cabin.

It was gone and the seaplane did not find enemy ships in the waters east of the strait.

Because it is performing surveillance tasks and ensuring that the enemy ship is reported immediately after discovering it, the guards did not think that they must fight with the enemy ship.

Then, it must be kept hidden.

For this reason, the Guards had already arranged eight cruisers to disperse, all of which remained radio silent, and could only send reports after discovering enemy ships.

In his opinion, even if he can't sleep until dawn, he can lie down and rest for a while.

Unexpectedly, before he fell asleep, the communications consultant called.

"I just received the commander's telegram, forwarded by the Zushima Base."

"Commander?"

The communications consultant did not say much and sent the telegram to the guards.

The message has a signature, so there is no need to explain it.

That's right, it was indeed a telegram sent by Bai Zhizhan. The cruiser fleet led by the "Wuzhou" to search and monitor the two-car strait with radar. After discovering the enemy ship, it immediately launched an attack and maintained a combat distance. It is not allowed to fight to the enemy ship to death. After receiving the enemy, it is reported to the flagship in time.

What is this for?

The key is that this command is inconsistent!

"Report!"

The telecommunications officer suddenly shouted, which scared the guards.

Another message comes from the heavy cruiser "Changzhou".

The "Wuzhou" and "Changzhou" were respectively responsible for covering the "Imperial Capital" and "Paijing". This is why both ships were equipped with radars.

Although radar is mainly used for air defense and is used to search enemy aircraft in the air, it also has certain sea search capabilities, but it is not that outstanding. The detection distance of less than 20 kilometers is not as far as the lookout, and it is not available during the day. But at night, that is different.

The "Changzhou" also received an order and is speeding up to catch up.

Four heavy cruisers have a total of thirty-six main guns.

It looks a lot, but they are all fire sticks.

In front of the Navy Navy battleship, isn’t the 200mm naval gun of the heavy cruiser just a fire stick?

If you really fight, even if you fire the gun against the battleship's belly, you will not be able to wear thick armor. At most, you will only scratch the battleship's itch.

To talk about threats, it is better torpedoes.

Unfortunately, the "Wuzhou" class is the last treaty heavy cruiser of the Imperial Navy. When designing, the torpedo launcher that was not usually used was cancelled.

But the command is clear.

"captain?"

"The commander has issued an order, let's execute it."

After the Guard issued an order, the communications officer took action immediately without asking much questions.

Then, a battle alarm sounded.

At this time, in the Shuangche Strait, the flagship "Damen" of the fleet was permanently resident.

Just after the early morning, Takano returned to the Commander's Bridge.

In the afternoon, it was actually in the evening. After receiving the battle report from the Fifth Air Force, Takano fainted on the spot and almost survived.

In more than ten minutes, the Fifth Air Force suffered a catastrophe, and the two aircraft carriers carrying hope were gone!

Even if Takano doesn't have a heart disease, he will get angry.

In fact, Takano was furious and frightened.

What can you say?

Lan Yun and Ze San were both commanders he chose, and they were both good at being steady. Before that, no one could have thought that these two people would capsize in the gutter.

What went wrong?

Takano tried his best, but he couldn't figure it out.

If the destruction of the mobile fleet was accused, Liang Xia's Navy had already been prepared. The four aircraft carriers did not return to Chengjiang Port and were ambushed on the south side of the Xiaodao, which caught the mobile fleet off guard. The question is, why should a third aviation special-mix fleet commanded by the Second Genesis annihilate the Fifth Air Force?

If a playboy is so powerful, who else can defeat Liang Xia's Navy?

Besides, Ze San made no mistakes.

Although I can't figure it out, Takano had to admit that the Nai Navy had lost the opportunity to turn defeat into victory, and it can be said that the situation was hopeless.

What we need to do next is no longer to win, but to be invincible!

So, how can we be invincible?

During the few hours of lying down and resting, Takano has been thinking about this issue.

Of course, it is not yet time for despair, and the hope is still very huge, and the future is bright.

If you want to tell me the solution, it is actually in front of you.

If we can take this opportunity to give the Newland Federation and the Kingdom of Bran to the cause of joining the war, then no matter how much the loss is, it will be worth tens of thousands of dollars.

It is precisely because Takano did not order the four fast battleships heading south.

If four "Jingang" ships entered the territorial waters of the South Zhu Kingdom and were then attacked by the Liang Xia fleet, wouldn't it be equivalent to sending the reason for participating in the war to the Newland Federation?

Even if you miss this opportunity, it doesn't matter.

After taking the initiative, Liang Xia's navy will definitely seize the Sadou Islands and the Watcher Strait, and then face the choice of going south and advancing east.

By then, the Liangxia Empire would naturally send the reason for the war to the Newland Federation.

After the last war, the Liangxia Empire is no longer the Liangxia Empire. After rushing out of the Xuhai and Yanhai, no matter which direction it is heading, the Liangxia Navy will face two obstacles. For the Liangxia Navy, the one who can choose is to go to war with first.

At present, it seems that Liang Xia’s Navy focuses on the east ocean, which is equivalent to choosing to compete with the Newland Federation first.

Even if you are deceiving yourself, Takano can at least give himself a few hours of rest.

In fact, it's only a few hours.

Tashi remembered Takano's order and called him half an hour before the main team left the Shuangche Strait and entered Dongwangyang, so he could decide what to go next.

Three options.

Go north to join the second main team and the third aviation team, then go to the Watcher Strait to block the local fleet, or retreat to the narrow land.

Go east to avoid Liuhuang Island, located at the southern end of the volcanic islands, next to the Northern Horse Islands, and guard the hub of the west-eastern ocean.

Head south to the Tuk Fortress, relying on this naval base that has been working hard for more than ten years, defending the strategic channel for the southward journey, and fighting against Liang Xia Navy in the southwest east-west ocean far away from the local area.

Takano didn't make a decision yesterday, but just hoped to get more information.
Chapter completed!
