As the capital ships of both sides continued to approach, the navies of the two countries began to become tense, and the war was inevitable. Because the Qing Dynasty did not even send out reconnaissance planes for secrecy, the first encounter must be the reconnaissance fleet of both sides.

This is a struggle for sea dominance, which will determine the fate of the two countries in the future. It doesn’t matter whether the victory of this battle is related to whether Neon may be subjugated, but for the Qing Dynasty, it is whether it will succeed in the next time. To control the sea and land in Neon, we still have to take a defensive position.

The search for the enemy’s main fleet must be cruisers and destroyers, the two fastest auxiliary ships.

These two types of warships can be used for reconnaissance, breaking of cross-offices, and the blockade of coastlines, and can also be used for the protection of capital ships, taking on the role of countering submarines and aircraft, and can also participate in naval battles at critical times. They can be said to be multifunctional ships. Heavy, of course, it is the capital ships that play a decisive role in naval battles, but their energy has to be taken seriously.

The direction of the Qing Dynasty battleship fifteen degrees east of the north is the key area for the search. There are five wind-class cruisers and seven Guang-C-class destroyers as the first formation. The two sides can only gather together for five nautical miles.

Due to the development of naval technology and tactics, the Qing Dynasty has eliminated many unnecessary types of warships. For example, cruisers are divided into standing cruisers and ordinary cruisers. Heavy armor is no longer divided. Medium-clad cruisers and destroyers are almost of the same level. These types of warships are mainly fast and functional, not the pursuit of strong firepower.

Of course, this firepower is relative to Daqing himself, not against Neon or even other countries.

The wind-class cruiser has a standard displacement of 5,700 tons, a full load displacement of more than 6,000 tons, a speed of 35 knots, and a firepower configuration of four heavy 180MM howitzers, 6 155 cannons, 9 105 cannons, and dozens of small-caliber cannons With anti-aircraft machine gun.

It can be said to have exceeded the tonnage of many battleships in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and now this type of ship is only an auxiliary ship, and there are about fifty ships in the Qing Dynasty. It is conceivable how much the navy burned money. The reason that supporting the navy can drag the neon economy into fragments is that naval battles are never just a matter of capital ships. The strength of the navy is not only the strength of capital ships. This is also the reason why the neon economy is still in collapse despite the collapse of the economy. The reason for a hundred cruisers and destroyers.

As for the Guangzhou C-class destroyer, it has a standard displacement of 2,200 tons. It has only four 105 main guns, as well as dozens of 76MM machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.

Similarly, his speed is as high as 38 knots. If the ship's functions are damaged at any cost, the maximum speed can be increased to a terrifying 40 knots.

Because of the most demanding speed and function, the cruiser can survive if the key parts are not hit by the battleship's main gun, and the destroyer often only needs one gun from the battleship to see God.Their armor is mainly used to deal with small-caliber artillery and aircraft anti-aircraft machine guns.

Similarly, at a distance of about 20 nautical miles from them, the five cruisers and nine destroyers of Neon are also moving south quickly. They are also looking for the location of the battleship of the Qing Dynasty. At the speed of both sides, they can meet in just ten minutes. Up.

The cruiser Storm first discovered the location of the Neon Navy search fleet.

"Report to the captain and found that there are six light patrol formations of the Neon Navy, almost in the north direction, 23,000 meters away from us,"

The observer shouted.

"Very good! Immediately send a telegram to the battleship formation to report the situation here, and let the destroyer formation approach us at full speed for reinforcements, and eat these cruisers before the enemy's main fleet arrives." Haokan Novel Network www.haokantxt.com

Captain Yang Yong of the Storm is also the commander of this reconnaissance fleet. Like normal naval battles, the first battle is often a battle between the reconnaissance forces of both sides.

"Yes, Captain."

The staff officer immediately sent a telegram.

The same cruiser formation of the Neon Navy also discovered the position of the Qing warships. As the forefront of the Navy, it is impossible for them to retreat.

Therefore, there was hardly any hesitation. After the commander of this fleet, Honda Fir, asked the Ministry of Communications to report Qingkang to the battleship, he chose to move closer to the Daqing cruiser formation.

In his opinion, although their cruisers are only five thousand tons in tonnage, their firepower configuration is a little worse, with only two 190 main guns and 12 105 guns, but their destroyer formation can quickly support them, and their The destroyer also has two 155 guns and four 105 guns.

Enough to make the Qing's naval vanguard suffer a big loss, even directly destroyed.

So the two sides held the same mind and began to get closer.

"When has the Neon Navy been so emboldened? Dare to attack our warships?"

"Give me a speed to rush up, and give me a lesson to this group of people who don't know how high and how thick."

Yang Yong was a little surprised to see the movements of the neon cruiser formation. The two sides were cruisers, and they had encountered many times when performing missions outside.

Which time is it not that the neon fleet dodges far away, and dare not get too close to the navy of the Qing Dynasty.

This time he dared to face the Qing Navy directly, and Yang Yong couldn't help but give them a high look. Of course, sending his opponent to the bottom of the sea is the best respect for them.

"Yes!"

The staff immediately issued the order to speed up and make the battle.

Although the neon navy has been familiar with it many times, the upper-level generals know the gap with the imperial navy, but the navy underneath doesn't think so. They don't think their quality is much lower than the other.

The previous retreat was due to the above orders and the strength of the Qing navy. Now the large-scale transfer of the Qing battleship has given them enough courage and confidence.

However, war requires more than just courage, it is just the cheapest and most precious quality that a qualified soldier should possess...
