Tune the Pacific

Chapter 430 Sea Battle Eight, End with Fury!

@@@@

The stars are like brocade, pouring into the microwave undulating Dili Bay, bringing a little silver light.

The 8,800-ton Ochakov is like a giant beast lying flat in the harbor of Dili. He used to be the pride of Russia. He has two L40/254mm double-loaded naval guns. The firepower is almost the same as that of battleships, but with the new generation of warships launched one after another, it became a little staggering, but for the sake of His Majesty the Tsar The ambition still dragged the old body to the Far East and settled in this place that is difficult to find on the map.

Beside it is the new Warrior-class cruiser Ochakov with a displacement of 6,700 tons and the 2,100-ton secondary protective cruiser Svetlana, as for the other one!

Wittheft turned his head and looked at the pile of scrap iron that was burning on the beach that could hardly distinguish its shape. He couldn't help shivering.

A team of Xinhua Marines are walking down from the cargo ship in a neat formation. Some are expelling the soldiers from the three warships, while others are taking over the facilities in Dili Port.

There was no gunfire or explosion. Everything was calm and palpitating, but in this silence, it was the end of an empire.

When two Duke-class battleships with two destroyers instantly blew up the cruiser Molov, which was about to leave the port to contact the main fleet, relying on torpedoes and cannons, Wittheft could not even afford to raise any idea of resistance and raised the white flag.

Compared with his four warships, the two Duke class are undoubtedly too powerful. At that time, relying on only four Arctic star battleships, he led the huge Russian Pacific Fleet into sand. Now he only has four warships, one of which was even broken, so he gave up his desire to resist.

For him, the mission had been completed. He had persisted for a whole year, but the delay of the expeditionary fleet turned this persistence into suffering. When the news of Vladivostok was blown up and the occupation of Eastern Siberia came, he knew that Russia had lost half of it.

Not to mention whether Lieutenant General Rozhstwinski, who is not even as good as himself, can defeat the other party, let's say that in the past year, he has been unable to sleep as if he was entangled by evil spirits. At this moment, it is completely a great mistake to look back at the decision to occupy Dili.

Because it is too close to the Luzon Subic Bay Naval Base in Xinhua, many times the other side's large torpedo ships have rushed to the coast for observation. Those warships seem to never be tired. They have been wandering outside Dili all night. As long as they anchor together, they will be bombarded by sporadic shelling. This is a kind of torture, endless torture!

Every time they come, beads of sweat will drip down their foreheads. The scene a few years ago is still vivid, just like a popular silent film in Europe at this moment, it keeps flashing in his mind. At the thought of the other party's withered shot, he trembled all over.

So when he saw the battleships entering the harbor, he even felt relieved. The only regret was that he spent a year, spending millions of rubles to expand Dili Port, buying five American cargo ships and hundreds of thousands of tons of coal, but now they have all become the trophy of the Xinhua Imperial Navy.

At this moment, he has only one last question.

Wipe the sweat on his forehead, looked at the young battleship captain in front of him, and asked, "Captain, can I know where our fleet is?"

"Are those transport ships built by the United States?" With a squinting glance at Witkhft, Gu Jun Huo answered the question and pointed to the five cargo ships in the harbor. He seemed to be very satisfied with his loot, but in fact, he was indescribably depressed and wished to kill the Russian commander who came to Dili.

As the two youngest captains of the capital ships of the Xinhua Navy, after several years of training, they can no longer see any greenness on his face, but they can't participate in the decisive battle, which really makes him a little frustrated. However, the military order is a military order. Even if 10,000 people are unwilling, they must come, not to mention the occupation of Dili and The island of Dutch Guinea is also a great achievement.

Gu Junhuo's answer made Witt Heft laugh and cry, but he didn't want to be a wrongdoer with that question. You know, he almost smashed two radios these days, and he didn't contact the fleet that should have arrived long ago, so when he saw that the other party wanted to leave, he still asked: "Captain."

Gu Junhuo stopped and suddenly turned his head and smiled: "They should be crying at this moment."

This sentence made Wittheft's heart suddenly, as if he had seen the most frightening thing, and shook his head repeatedly: "It's impossible, it's impossible!"

Looking at the commander who used to be a prisoner but was driven to the shelves again, Gu Junhuo also shook his head. These Russian [***] officials did not seem to understand one thing, that is, Asia can no longer accommodate any outsiders!

After boarding the ship quickly and leaving the troops of the Tama, Gu Junho immediately sailed to Guinea with his Akashi, two destroyers and 2,000 marines. He had no time to delay. You know, the two British cruisers were also sailing there.

Looking at the departing battleship, Witthft suddenly sat on the ground, because he thought of a question. If he hadn't defeated Roedstviski's fleet, how could Xinhua send a precious battleship here?

Whether he is wrong or not, one thing is right, that is, the Russian expeditionary fleet is crying.

The Dandong and the subsequent Guangxi made the final prelude to the destruction of the Russian Expeditionary Fleet, but it was the destroyer brigade led by Lan Jianshu who really played the music.

In this shallow water full of crisis, it is impossible to squeeze into the sea area where more large warships can' decisive battle. The shallow water and fast destroyers have undoubtedly become the protagonist. When the first wave of six defense levels roared at a speed of 30 knots, fiercely inserted into the center of the artillery battle, and then threw out 36 spears together, they roared again. After leaving, the whole Russian fleet was paralyzed.

Although each defense class can only carry six torpedoes and six standby mines, which is much smaller than the torpedo attack launched by the six Jinghai class just now, it can't stand the number!

When the second batch of four ships rushed out from behind the two capital ships and hit the second wave of torpedoes, these little guys who came like locusts, but went away at high speed, made all the Russian sailors bite their teeth.

The first unlucky one was the Vediyaz. The German-made cruiser was hit by four consecutive torpedoes and disappeared on the sea with almost no fire.

Next was the Saints. The 11,000-ton large armored cruiser was even more tragic. A torpedo overturned his belly. The 777 sailors of the ship were pressed into the ship without even shouting, so that when the tugboat arrived and was ready to be pulled back two days later, they could hear the tink in the belly of the ship. A banging call for help.

With such a fierce torpedo attack, coupled with falling shells, the last bit of courage of the Russian sailors also disappeared. All that was left was despair, and the ships rushed left and right like headless flies in an attempt to escape.

At 10:5 p.m., Captain Peresvet panicked and ordered the cruiser Oleg, which escorted him, to turn left. In the end, he not only knocked the Warrior-class cruiser, which was desperately protecting him, but also cracked into the water, and finally had to rush to the beach and run aground.

followed by Osriabia, Gromboy also staggered after being hit by a shell and caught fire.

Ten minutes later, the Navarin was detonated under a series of falling shells, and the whole sky was red with violent explosions. Then the first-class armored cruiser Russia also sank to the seabed because it was hit by a torpedo. When the sun rose, it was found that the 13,600-ton warship was like Like a javelin diagonally inserted in the water, the bow rose to the west.

At 10:30, when the last Warrior-class cruiser raised the white flag, the remaining three capital ships, Chesarevich, Poltava and Grombaui, finally rushed out of the fire ring of the two ships.

Originally, the two ships and several nearby capital ships that had been surrounded were ready to continue to chase, but an accident interrupted them.

"Full speed."

"Wait a minute." Tan Xiaozeng hurriedly walked into the bridge and interrupted Long Guozhang, who was about to order the pursuit. He handed the telegram he had just received to the latter and said, "Lao Long, take a look at this first."

"What does this mean?" Long Guozhang pinched the telegram and was a little puzzled why he made this decision. Looking at Tan Xiaozeng, he asked, "Has this telegram been confirmed?"

Knowing that Long Guozhang would not believe it, Tan Xiaozeng nodded quickly and explained, "The telegram is sent by a special radio station, so there must be no problem with the order."

"Lao Long, it's not a matter of winning or losing the war here. We have to think about it in the long run. It's not a big problem to let go of the three Russian capital ships for the time being. Anyway, they still have to fall into our hands. Now it's time to think more about the post-war issues." Tan Xiaozeng said patiently, looked around, and suddenly walked into a low voice: "We need an excuse for some countries and some people to see the reality clearly and find out who is the master of this sea!"

"And it's time for some countries to leave!"

Long Guozhang nodded. He has always been a pure navy man. He even hates politics and likes detours more than Chen Ping. However, the army is a violent institution that serves the overall interests of the country, so when the victory has arrived, he should also give way to the overall layout.

"In addition to what I just said, the emperor also wants Le Fei to disappear from everyone's sight for a period of time. Now we have become the object of other people's research, and only this method can hide it from everyone!"

"Then Lefei's him?"

"The light patrol is replenishing ammunition. It is expected that the first batch will be replenished at three o'clock in the morning. I don't think you need to worry too much about him. I believe he can accept it. Don't forget that he stayed on the Honolulu for a year before. He knows better than us. If he survives it, he is an eagle!" Tan Xiaozeng lit a cigarette, and finally looked at it and said, "The telegram is very clear. It's up to you to decide!"

"Okay!" Long Guozhang lit a cigar and took a few mouthfuls before making up his mind: "Order Lefei to chase the three Russian ships immediately after replenishing the ammunition, and the rest of the ships began to sweep the battlefield."

"We're ready to go back!"

Many years later, the reason why Long Guozhang gave up chasing the three Russian [***] ships that fled in the most critical moment is still confusing, but one thing is certain, because his decision eventually evolved into an unexpected massacre.

At three o'clock sharp, the two Jinghai-class ships that completed the replenishment of ammunition took the first departure. Three hours later, the remaining four also rushed west to the port of Banda Aceh.

At 10 a.m. on April 12, two Jinghai-class ships arrived off the sea of Banda Aceh Port. At this time, the remaining three Russian [***] ships have also entered the port.

As the first stop to enter the Strait of Malacca, although Banda Aceh is not as large as Singapore and not prosperous as Singapore, it still lives hundreds of thousands of locals, but today's beautiful seaport city is light because of the three Russian [***] ships that suddenly broke into the port and the two subsequent arrivals of the Royal Navy of the New China Empire. The cruiser suddenly became nervous.

"Mr. Governor, I want to say it again, I will give you another hour to consider and hand over the Russian [***] ship, otherwise all the consequences will be borne by you!"

Le Fei glanced coldly at the Dutch governor with long chestnut hair. Although the latter had learned the news of Russia's failure from the Russian [***] ship that entered the port, after all, the Netherlands is a neutral country and a white country. Coupled with the previous unhappiness of Borneo, the Dutch governor made a wrong decision. It's sure.

"The Netherlands is a neutral country and is protected by international law!"

"Real is it? So according to the Chinese legislation, the Netherlands cannot provide any assistance to the warring parties, so why did the Governor-General agree to let the Russian fleet reap coal here? Le Fei sneered contemptuously.

The Governor-General of the Netherlands was speechless by this sentence, but he still insisted that if Xinhua wanted to arrest three Russian [***] ships entering the port, he must wait for him to report to the country, and wait for the Russian [***] ship to leave after leaving the port, and said that if Xinhua violates the neutrality treaty, the Netherlands will make a counter Hit it!

At 2:00 p.m., when the remaining four Jinghai-class ships arrived, the situation suddenly began to be tense. In the absence of an answer, Lefei made the decision to shell Banda Aceh.

2:30, about a thousand Chinese living in Banda Aceh took the lead in leaving. At this time, the Governor-General of the Netherlands had felt bad, but by the time he was ready to negotiate with Le Fei again, the shell had fallen.

At three o'clock sharp, six Jinghai-class ships launched an artillery operation code-named "Navy Fury". Because Banda Aceh Port is not Shenzhen-Hong Kong Liangwan, and the nearest place is only five kilometers away from the seaside, the shells can easily cover the whole city.

According to the post-morning statistics, in three hours, Lefei ordered six Jinghai-class ships to pour a total of 35,000 152mm shells into Banda Aceh Port. In the end, at least 40,000 people were killed, 11,000 people were missing, and more than 30,000 people were injured. This is controlled by the Netherlands and known as the pearl of Sumatra, from India. The first stop of Duyang into the Strait of Malacca was almost completely destroyed.

At six o'clock sharp, when three Russian [***] ships were forcibly taken away from the port of Banda Aceh, it had already become a paradise of rubble and flames.

When the nearest British cruiser arrived, it was found that six Jinghai-class ships escorting three Russian [***] ships through the Strait of Malacca. After rounding six capital ships, it also indicates that the sea decisive battle, which has attracted the world's attention for more than half a year, has come to an end--< /P>
