Knowing Betty's temper, Hofflin made a relatively stable suggestion, so he decided to leave Betty's battlecruiser no more than 25 nautical miles, so that he could arrive in the first place.

Betty nodded and agreed. Although cruisers and destroyers are not high in combat effectiveness, they play a great role in reconnaissance, and if capital ships are not protected by cruisers and destroyers, they are easily attacked by fish from the opposing light fleet.

This time Betty took a total of five battle cruisers, four heavy cruisers, and more than 30 cruisers and destroyers.

Betty's plan seemed reckless, but it was not unreasonable. All they took away were warships of 30 knots or more. As the saying goes, fast ships, relying on this speed advantage and Daqing to fight small-scale battles, they bite hard. they.

If the small-scale fleet of the Qing Dynasty comes, they can be eaten. If the capital fleet comes, they can be fought and withdrawn. If they fail, they can leave with the advantage of speed. If the capital ships of the Qing Dynasty go, they can turn back. Biting, don't need to worry so much.

So this time Betty's plan can be said to be very perfect, of course, this is the tactics used in the case of normal warfare superiority naval battles.

12:55.

The destroyer squadrons of both sides met, and due to the large number of destroyers in the Qing Dynasty and a larger search range, their other destroyer squadrons discovered John's battlecruiser squadron but temporarily did not see their main fleet.

So Lin Yongsheng instantly understood Betty's thoughts. He immediately ordered the main fleet to move closer to John's battlecruisers, and sent most of the battlecruisers and cruisers out from the periphery to encircle John's battlecruisers.

At 1:26, the battle broke out between the destroyer formations of both sides, and the 12 vs. 14 Qing Dynasty had an advantage in number.

The battles between destroyers are very fierce, and the casualties are often very high. They are in close-range battles, and their armor is very fragile. Sometimes even the key position of the 155 artillery can be sunk. The battleship is in After roughly dividing the victory or defeat, sometimes they can withdraw, and these auxiliary fleets are abandoned during the evacuation process, and they often have to launch a counterattack to buy time for the capital ship to retreat.

The result of the battle was extremely tragic, with a loss ratio of 8 to 4, and the loss of eight destroyers in the John Navy. This made Betty annoyed. John has always been known for his special naval ships to be far ahead of other countries, but now he is eating. Such a big loss.

So he hurriedly searched for the battleship of the Qing Dynasty, hoping to find the auxiliary fleet next to them, so as to fish a wave, and he also planned to provoke the battleship of the Qing Dynasty. If he could take advantage of the speed advantage, biting them would be the best All right.

At 2:23, the fleets of the two sides gathered for 25,000 meters. At this time, Betty had already vented that Daqing had formed a rough circle of them with the advantage of the number of destroyers. He didn't care at all, and the battle patrol formation could rely on it. The superiority of armored love and firepower forcibly broke through the encirclement, and even caused heavy losses to the Qing cruisers and destroyers who dared to block them.678 reading novel www.678kxs.com

He believes that if the Qing Dynasty is not given the opportunity to seem to be able to annihilate himself, then the main fleet of the Qing Dynasty can still easily choose to leave as before.

But when he approached, he never expected that the aircraft carrier of the Qing Dynasty would arrive.

In fact, battleships and battlecruisers are the climax of the development of the navy. When the carrier-based aircraft has not reached a high level, the giant ship artillery is still the main force in naval battles, especially when battlecruisers and destroyers are domesticated and equipped with a large number of aviation machine guns. .

Today's aircraft carriers are still in the development stage. Although they have shown their great value in naval battles, they cannot completely replace battleships.

This is also the reason why Lin Yongsheng did not dare to confront them head-on, even if he had an aircraft carrier.

But although these John’s destroyers and cruisers are equipped with a lot of aviation machine guns, this is not an equal number of naval battles. The number of destroyers in the Qing Dynasty is three times that of them. Although these destroyers want to help their battle cruisers, Was bitten by the navy of the Qing Dynasty.

But it was too late when Betty wanted to forcibly evacuate.Originally, they could forcefully throw off the battleship by virtue of their speed advantage, and the cruiser that blocked them would become a courier commissioner.

But they need to constantly change directions to accelerate and decelerate to avoid aerial bombs and torpedo attacks. After all, although the battle patrol is huge, their defensive power is destined to be unable to withstand the attacks of several 560mm aerial torpedoes.

However, the casualties caused by their several battle patrol aircraft machine guns on the Qing aircraft were not unbearable.

At 2:54, the counterattack battlecruiser was hit by the Hongjun 460MM main artillery at the waterline of the side chord and immediately began to sink.

At 3:15, the battlecruiser Royal Princess was hit by a second 560MM aerial torpedo, and its already crumbling keel broke...

By the time Hofflin's main fleet arrived, John's Navy had only a dozen warships left, including the scarred flagship Lion and Prestige.

As a result, the ratio of the main fleets of the two sides was basically the same. The strength of Hongjun made up for the inferiority of the performance of the Great Wall and Changxing, the first battleship to be manufactured. However, the Qing Dynasty had already led by more than 30 in the number of destroyers and cruisers. In addition to the loss of record, there are only 16 aircraft, and Haicheng has more than 130 aircraft, occupying an absolute advantage in the scene.

Although the battle was fierce, the balance of victory was tilted towards the Qing Dynasty. After paying a heavy price, Betty had to order a retreat. Of course, they did not retreat like the Neon Navy, but did not retreat from the side battle...... ..
