Although Pasival was surprised at how the navy in Shangjing came back so quickly, as a lieutenant general of Inguo, he quickly issued an order to accelerate and bypass Singapore as soon as possible to reach the waters of the Riau Islands, where would he fight with Shangjing.

Although Pasival looked down on the navy in his words, he knew that no matter how bad it was, it would be difficult for you to eat such a huge fleet.

Especially the five super battleships of the opponent are very difficult to sink.

In the northern part of the Riau Islands, in the East China Sea Fleet and the command room of the Huashan.

"Report to the Commander! The military headquarters sent a telegram saying that the British Navy had known that we would arrive in Singapore this afternoon. The naval fleet they had gathered had sailed out of Singapore and was about to enter the southern part of the Riau Islands."

A communications officer walked up to Chen Honglie and said loudly.

"Are you finally coming?"

Chen Honglie took a deep breath!

This was their first encounter with England, and it was also the first time such a large-scale naval battle had occurred.

I used to practice the Mu Ao when I was with the Japanese devils. That time I was completely practicing.

"Transfer my order and immediately release the sea reconnaissance plane and find the location of the British Navy!"

Chen Honglie's eyes sank slightly.

"yes!"

At 3:00 p.m. on September 2, 1932, the British Navy fleet also entered the central area of ​​the Riau Islands at this time.

The seaplanes of both sides met in the air, and a sea battle broke out.

"Report! Report on the sea reconnaissance plane, they discovered the British Navy fleet forty nautical miles ahead!"

"Very good! I'll pass the order, and the fleet will immediately launch an offensive formation, seize the advantageous position, and prepare to fight the British Navy!"

When Chen Honglie heard that he had found a location, he suddenly had an excited look in his eyes.

As the saying goes, what kind of official leads what kind of soldiers.

Chen Honglie, who returned to China in Japan, was brave and good at fighting, and the naval sailors he brought out were like him, with a look of fearlessness on earth.

This time, facing the British Navy, the naval sailors of the East China Sea Fleet were not afraid at all.

As for those cloned naval sailors, they didn't know what fear was.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, as it is approaching about twenty nautical miles.

The naval guns of the three Yamato-class battleships, Huashan, Huangshan and Songshan, immediately opened fire.

The crossbar hull suddenly vibrated violently.

Three super battleships and eighteen main artillery shells flew towards the British Navy battleship twenty nautical miles away.

"Plop"

"Plop"

The first round was considered a test shot, and no shell hit the British Navy battleship.

The closest one is that it is missing a bullet.

Although any battleship of the British Navy seems too small compared to the Huashan, this kind of near-burn loss cannot cause substantial damage to the British Navy's battleship.

After the British Navy fired the main gun shells on the Huashan, they also began to fire volleys.

Six battleships lined up with volleys.

Both sides had test shots in the first round, and no shells hit.

Even the destroyers, heavy cruisers, etc. next to them were not damaged.

Neither side took it seriously in the first round of test shots.

"Order the fleet to be fully ruddered with heavy cruisers as the lead, and the battleships follow closely, and the troop transport ships move to the flanks of the fleet, and destroyers and frigates protect the safety of the troop transport ships!"

There was no expression on Chen Honglie's face, but he just gave the next stage of orders coldly.

As the times come to this point, the jumping gang battles hundreds of years ago have almost been abandoned, and the naval battles between the two fleets generally do not choose to engage in combat.

After Chen Honglie's order was issued, three heavy cruisers began to take the lead, thinking about the right wing of the British Navy.

Heavy cruisers, a kind of displacement, firepower, and armor protection, are second only to the main water ships of battleships.

It has the ability to fight with multiple targets at the same time. It is also like a battleship, and can go out to perform tasks alone without forming a fleet before going out.

The heavy cruiser is weaker in displacement, firepower and armor protection than the battleship, but his speed is much faster than that of the battleship.

The role of heavy cruisers in a country's navy is that some tasks that do not need to dispatch battleships will be carried out by heavy cruisers. At the same time, before World War II and in it, heavy cruisers have independent combat capabilities, so they are also responsible for tasks such as rapid support.

In a fleet, the main purpose of heavy cruisers is to protect and assist the main surface ships in the fleet or protect the main target ships.

At the same time, it is also the absolute main force in air defense, anti-submarine and escort.

In addition, during landing warfare, heavy cruisers also have important tasks such as providing naval gun support to ground troops.

British Navy Fleet, on the Rodney

"General! News comes from the reconnaissance plane, the Chinese Navy is moving towards our right wing."

"Move to our right wing? It seems that these Chinese navy are not so incompetent! Order the fleet to turn and do not let the enemy fleet run to our shooting dead end!"

"yes!"

Two huge fleets were constantly detouring on the sea.

A bunch of water columns exploded on the sea, which were the water columns produced by the main guns of the battleships falling into the water and exploding.

Chen Honglie stood in the bridge, holding a telescope and constantly looking at everything around him, without a look on his face.

"How many nautical miles are we from them now?"

Chen Honglie's voice was a little low.

After his observation just now.

The previous three battleships performed well.

Even the Taishan, which he used to call the most useless, has performed well this time since the war started.

The only one that doesn't work is the Huangshan.

Among these five battleships, only the two battleships, Taishan and Huangshan, are controlled by humans, and the other three are all controlled by cloned soldiers.

Chen Honglie didn't know where Han Ling got these sailors that Han Ling gave him.

Each one has high quality, and now he is the main force of the East China Sea Fleet.

Chen Honglie felt that their quality was even higher than that of the Japanese Navy.

"About twenty-two nautical miles!"

A staff officer said.

"22 nautical miles? Don't slow down! Speed ​​determines our survival rate! Tell the sailors below that this battle is our first battle with the world's naval powers, and take out all the level of training you usually train! Don't let foreign devils underestimate it!"

"yes!"

"boom"

A near-lost bullet appeared next to the Songshan.

The captain of the Songshan Sea is Kang Jinke, a clone. After he came out of the talent training base, he was considered good.

So he was appointed as the captain of the Songshan.

"Appoint the speed up, and in addition, send a request telegram to Huashan and Hengshan to request firepower coverage!"

Kang Jinke had no expression on the near-bounce that had just appeared.

There was always a silly expression on my face.

"yes!"

A clone adviser went to convey the order after answering.

On this battleship, which is all controlled by clones, no one has any objection to Kang Jinke's expression, because so are they.

"Attention to all artillery! Target - the enemy's 023 position battleship, each artillery fires volley, prepare to release!"

"Boom boom boom"

Navy gun shells flew towards the British Navy's Warrior with a whistling sound. Yes, the British Navy battleship at the 023 direction is the Warrior.

This battleship of more than 20,000 tons.

"boom"

"Bang"

A shell hit the deck of the Warriors.

Judging from the caliber of this main ship gun shell, it should be the main ship gun shell of the Huashan.

A large mouth with a diameter of five or six meters appeared on the deck in front of the Warriors, revealing everything below.

But a shell hit the bridge of the Warriors.
