You will be outside, and your orders will not be accepted!

By the time the expedition fleet's report was delivered to Spiegel City, Wang Sheng had already made some preparations and started taking action.

After all, it takes a long time for this report to come and go. If we take action by then, it will inevitably be a little late.

The Lightning Strike Fleet, riding the wind and waves, was searching for today's prey under the cover of night as always.

After quickly approaching a Fuso fleet, and after the first wave of lightning strikes, the commander-in-chief of the Fuso fleet quickly smelled something unusual in their actions.

Different from the previous strategy of retreating with one strike, this time, the destroyers scattered on both wings did not withdraw from the battlefield directly, but continued to outflank them in a roundabout way!

Facing the Lightning Strike Fleet's change from normal behavior, the commander-in-chief of Fuso Fleet's heart sank slightly, and then he quickly yelled...

"The entire fleet remains vigilant! The outer destroyers are preparing to launch torpedoes and launch a counterattack!"

That's right, if he wants to disintegrate the opponent's anti-torpedo net, the best solution Wang Sheng can think of right now is to launch continuous attacks!

Consumption in waves is useless.

Which one of their torpedoes or the barbed wire fence on the opposite side is more expensive?

Is it easier for them to build a torpedo or a barbed wire fence across the way?

There is no need to think about such silly questions.

Wang Sheng was even 100% sure that there must be a lot of barbed wire on the opponent's warships. Even if a new one was replaced every day, it would be enough for them to endure.

Therefore, he simply stopped following the opponent and took his time.

After all, barbed wire is just barbed wire. If it withstands a torpedo attack, it will definitely be severely damaged. Continuous attacks are enough to break through this thin one-time defense line, and then cause effective damage to the warships under the defense line!

Of course, this sounds simple, but in fact it is not that easy to do.

Wang Sheng directly divided the torpedo attacks of his fifteen destroyers into multiple stages according to the battleship numbers. He also reduced the number of single torpedo launches for each battleship and instead increased the number of attacks.

Although this approach will lose the explosive destructive power and attack coverage area like before, the advantage is that it can make his torpedo attack more effective.

Try your best to avoid the embarrassing situation like the previous situation where more than a dozen torpedoes hit the barbed wire, were triggered in advance, and failed to cause direct damage to the enemy warships.

At the same time, it can also allow the destroyers that launch torpedoes first to seize the opportunity to reload according to the firing sequence.

The method of reloading torpedoes is actually relatively rare in history.

After all, as a maritime weapon, torpedoes have a shorter range than those of main gun weapons. If a destroyer wants to launch a torpedo attack, it must first use its speed advantage to close the distance.

However, the destroyer type of warship itself is the most fragile among all warship units.

With all these factors combined, how can a destroyer dare to stay longer when facing an enemy fleet at close range?

Usually, after launching a wave of torpedoes, they run away directly at high speed. This is the most common way of playing.

At the same time, loading torpedoes during battle is also a very high-risk move. If you are not careful, you will suffer disaster.

Therefore, most of the time, there is basically only one torpedo attack.

However, there are actually many cases of secondary reloading in history, and the protagonists of these cases are, not surprisingly, concentrated on the Fuso Navy who are very good at lightning strikes.

At this moment, Wang Sheng was undoubtedly going to use this style of play. Taking risks, regular soldiers who had received emergency training on each battleship quickly took action.

Fifteen destroyers launched continuous torpedo attacks directly at the Fuso Fleet at this moment!

At the same time, the small naval guns on the ship's hull also fired wildly, not to be outdone, venting all their firepower.

The roar of intensive artillery fire directly brought up a fire, almost completely lighting up this dark sea area!

Amid the frantic roar of the commander-in-chief of the Fuso fleet, the Fuso warships began to fight back one after another.

However, Fuso Fleet's counterattack suddenly raised the level of chaos on this maritime battlefield to two levels!

At this moment, the smell of gunpowder smoke is spreading crazily...

Unlike the Lightning Strike Fleet, whose formations were dispersed on both sides of the battlefield, the Fuso Fleet's formations were relatively concentrated. However, it was this formation that made their situation at the moment worse.

The multi-stage torpedo attack allowed the lightning strike fleet to successfully destroy the anti-torpedo net outside the Fuso fleet.

The torpedoes that gradually began to hit the enemy warships exploded with the destructive power they should have had.

Two torpedo attacks directly hit the Fuso destroyer and sank on the spot amidst the roar of the explosion!

This situation is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Fuso Fleet.

Morale, which was originally relatively stable, dropped significantly at this moment.

On the other hand, on the Lightning Strike Fleet side, the tactics were successfully implemented and the navy soldiers who finally achieved clear results were refreshed.

Under the circumstances, the state is actually getting better and better as we play!

During this period, Wang Sheng, who was in the flagship, was not idle. He directly signaled the two heavy cruisers in the rear to open fire on the Fuso fleet, and the four light cruisers also opened fire one after another and went up to join in the fun.

Low hit rate and insufficient firepower at night are not problems.

Wang Sheng's main purpose at this time was to use the two heavy cruisers and four light cruisers in the fleet to slightly attract the attention of the opposing fleet. It would be better if they could attract a wave of firepower.

After all, compared with destroyers at such a close range, heavy cruisers located at the rear of the battlefield have a higher success rate in avoiding enemy artillery fire.

However, although the commander-in-chief of the Fuso fleet on the opposite side was already in a roaring state at this time, the person who could sit in this position was not stupid after all. He directly ignored the shelling harassment from the heavy cruiser and light cruiser and ordered the entire fleet to concentrate fire attacks.

Destroyers closer to them.

According to the current situation, the hit rate when attacking destroyers is higher, which is naturally one of the reasons.

But a more important reason is that the destroyers equipped with torpedo launchers are the core of the attack on the lightning fleet. Even if they only sink one or two ships, they can effectively reduce the threat of the enemy's lightning fleet.

Of course, there is another more important reason, so that he can show some performance difference. Otherwise, as soon as the situation here is reported back, His Majesty the Emperor will ask him to commit seppuku every minute?
