When Lieutenant General Mikhail Sergeevich arrived at the battlefield with four battle patrols, the Kokang was dragging the seriously injured nobleman to leave the battlefield. At that time, the Major General was shocked and wiped his eyes twice. He couldn't believe it was true.

Yes, the Kokang operation is undoubtedly quite dangerous. The Supreme One has lost its power, and most of the hull is soaked in sea water. What’s even more dangerous is that a few kilometers behind them are groups of Japanese war patrols and heavy patrols. Once they are caught up, there will be only a dead end!

Anyway, everyone on the battlefield at that time felt that Yulisic had made a stupid decision. Not only did he not be able to save the noble, but he wanted to get the Kokang in. However, Yulisic did not think that it was really that dangerous to do so. He thought that taking risks was worth it.

"From the first day I entered the military academy, I was told to fight side by side with my comrades and never give up every comrade in danger. There are more than a hundred Red Navy commanders and fighters on the noble account. How could I slip away alone and watch them swallowed by the Japanese devil? My conscience and conscience tell me that saving people is the first priority!"

In fact, the nobles were shocked by the behavior of Yulisic and Kokang. Burkic did not expect Yulisic to approach and drag them away. When he realized that, he was moved and flatly rejected Yulisic's request. At that time, the captain stood in front of the broken bow and shouted at Yulisic on the side of the Kokang ship more than ten meters away: "Are you crazy? Vasily (Yulisic's name), leave quickly and leave immediately, the faster the better! Get out of here, you crazy!"

When he shouted these words, Burkic was crying. It was obvious that he was also moved by Yulisic's feat, but as a soldier, he knew that he must not put his comrades in extreme danger for his own safety. So at the end he roared loudly: "Vasily, get out quickly, get out immediately! We don't need you!"

But Burkic completely underestimated Yulisic's determination and will, and he was completely unmoved by Burkic's shout. He personally steered to move closer to the noble, and threw the towed cables over without caring about it.

"Nicolah, stop talking nonsense, tie the cables quickly. I will never leave. Today we either get out of danger or go into the sea to feed the fish together. You choose one!"

At Yulisic's insistence, Burkic had to give in and tied the cables tightly. The Kokang dragged the Zungui on the road together. The situation was really dangerous at that time. The shells fired from the Japanese battle patrol and the heavy patrol continued to fall around the two ships, and the distance was getting closer and closer. At that time, the Zungui and Kokang were constantly hit by the bombardment, but the officers and soldiers of the two ships did not give up or surrender, and continued to fire and fight back.

The "weird" actions of these two destroyers also made the Japanese amazed, and Keno Kurita sighed: "There are warriors in beautiful animals!"

Of course, Keno Kurita would never be polite when he sighed that he should take a ruthless move. He personally ordered: "Successfully achieve the feat of American animals as soon as possible and use the strongest blow of the Japanese Navy to save them!"

The fierce artillery fire instantly submerged the two destroyers and even broke a towed steel cable for a while. However, the Kokang and the Supremes did not surrender. Even if they could only move forward step by step, they continued to retreat towards their own battle patrol. This was their only hope for survival!

Gorshkov, who witnessed all this, was also moved. He ordered his cruiser to cover the Kokang and the Supremes as much as possible, and was ready to order the ships to turn around. However, Yulisic and Burkic flatly rejected the proposal on the radio, and they refused to take risks with the cruiser!

After a brief shock, Mikhail Sergeevich immediately recovered from his awakening. He ordered the four battle patrols to increase their speed as much as possible and to use the "flying speed" to rescue the destroyer.

At the same time, the King Kong and Hiei led by Mikawa Army also discovered four battle patrols of the Red Navy, but the Japanese were a little confused because from the perspective of their bodies, the opponent was definitely the main ship, and it was very likely the battleship. However, Mikawa Army, who had studied all the main ships of the US Navy in detail before the war, had no way to connect these four people with known American battleships.

"It's not like North Carolina, nor South Dakota, is it the latest battleship recently built by American animals?"

Anyway, the Mikawa Army attracted great attention at that time. These four main ships that could reach about 30 kilograms were definitely not easy to deal with. He only had two old Karma-class and Kondo Nobutake's Atogo and Torihiro. The only good news was that Keno Kurita and Takeo Takagi followed with four other heavy cruisers, and he still had some advantage in terms of quantity.

The Mikawa Army was determined to take advantage of the long-distance battle. Before the war, the Japanese Navy conducted high-intensity long-distance artillery training, and once ranked first in the world in long-distance artillery shooting. He believed that one or two enemy battleships must be killed from a distance, and then the battles behind would be easier.

Of course, Mikawa Jun did not forget his talent: "When can heavy cruisers start lightning strike?"

"Captain Nobutake Kondo said he was seizing the position and could launch torpedoes soon," the chief of staff replied loudly, "but Chief Keno Kurita and Takeo Takagi replied that the torpedo were exhausted and could not be attacked."

This result made Mikawa Junichi very dissatisfied. Only Atago and Torihide could launch torpedoes. What was this torpedo enough? He couldn't help but complain that Keno Kurita and Takeo Takagi had wasted too many torpedoes, and even more complained that his destroyer was too weak and was actually exploded by several opponents' cruisers.

But now that things have come to this point, the Sanchuan Army has no choice but to order: "Once each ship determines the target and aims accurately, it can open fire!"

At that time, the four battle patrols of Mikhail Sergeievic were about fifteen kilometers away from the King Kong and Atago. It should be said that this distance was very close. At least for battleship-level main ships, this distance was enough to allow their main guns to exert all their power.

Let me put it this way, after three modernization modifications of the Red Navy, all of which had four dual-mounted 305mm main guns (two turrets on the stern of the ship) with the main armor being about 305mm and the maximum speed could reach 30 knots. The King Kong also underwent modernization, but the transformation was not as large as the Red Navy's combat patrol. It mainly extended the hull and replaced the wheels and increased the air defense firepower. However, the defense level of the King Kong class was basically still in the period of World War I, and the main armor was still maintained at the 203mm level, but the horizontal armor was significantly thickened.

Of course, judging by the firepower of both sides, at the level of fifteen kilometers, everyone can wear each other's armor, so the key to winning or losing is who can get a hit faster.

The King Kong opened fire first, and the volley of eight 356mm main guns seemed so eye-catching this night. However, this attack made the thunder and rainy little. In the words of Mikhail Sergeevich, "The deviation is very large and it does not pose any threat to our ship!"

However, the Japanese did not think so. They were quite proud of the attack first. After a simple correction, they soon started a second volley. However, this time was still not ideal, and it was still too far away. Just as the Japanese gunners were sweating profusely loading the shells and preparing to launch a third strike, Mikhail Sergeevich finally broke the silence and ordered the fire to fight back.

The main gun of the Red Navy's battle patrol was slightly smaller in diameter (305mm b36 artillery), but its power was still good. The 471 kilogram armor-piercing projectile was enough to tear open the armor of the King Kong. And they had fire-controlled radar acupuncture and were more likely to hit the target. However, tonight, both sides were not very lucky. Most of the first round of volleys of the flagship Red Samara (Hindenburg) were missing almost and did not touch the enemy at all. Like the red Kharkov (Deflinger) behind, he also drifted. The third Red Caucasus (Sedritz) was slightly lucky. She was aiming at the Atago heavy patrol. At that time, the captain mistakenly mistakenly mistakenly thought Atago as a battleship, so he did not follow the friendly ships in front to attack the enemy's battle patrol. As for the Red Orenburg (Moltke) landing at the end, he was still on the way and did not participate in the attack.

When the Red Navy's battle patrol entered the battlefield and began to fight, Gorshkov was also thinking nervously. He was preparing to make a decision. At this time, the Tallinn had been severely damaged and basically lost its combat effectiveness. The Baku, which followed it, was almost the same. It was probably unrealistic to let these two heavy patrols continue to fight.

But Gorshkov was unwilling to leave the battle like this. He still had the idea of ​​making achievements and did not want to just watch the play. So after thinking about it, he ordered the staff to board the traffic boat with him and go to the Riga to continue commanding the battle.

At first glance, it seems nothing to do so. Fletcher was also transferred after being severely damaged by York City. Nagashima Tadaichi was slow to move when he died in Akagi, and the staff below were full of opinions. The problem is that the situation was different at this time. The two people in front were facing aviation wars, so there was no problem with transfer. Gorshkov was facing a serious traditional naval battle at this time. In traditional naval battles, speed and formation were paid attention to. If you want to transfer to other troops at this time, it is likely to disrupt the rhythm of the battle.

However, Gorshkov did this in the end. In order to avoid hindering the battle as much as possible, he did not order the Tallinn to slow down. It was really dangerous to put down the traffic boat at high speed, but he resolutely insisted on doing so.

Later he recalled: "I think the approach was correct at that time. The four battle patrols of our fleet were shooting against the enemy's battleships, and there were a considerable number of Japanese heavy cruisers. Comrade Mikhail Sergeevich on the battlefield, and there were probably no time to take care of other cruisers of our fleet on the battlefield. This required someone to command our cruisers in a unified manner to share the pressure of the battle patrol."

Fifteen minutes later, Gorshkov boarded the Riga, which had to be said to be quite amazing. The helmsman of the Tallinn traffic boat later recalled: "Comrade General ordered me to move closer to the Riga at the fastest speed, and even if it was very close to the Riga, it was not allowed to slow down... In the end, we almost hit the Riga head-on, and then Comrade General jumped on the gangway that the Riga was laid down like a leopard. After only five minutes, the traffic boat sank..."

However, no one cared about the situation of the traffic boat at that time. After Gorshkov rushed into the bridge, he immediately ordered the Riga, Vilnius, Kronstadt, Murmansk and Storm on the battlefield.

"You are all under my command now. The Storm and Unforgettable are ready to launch a lightning strike, aim at the enemy's main battleship and beat me hard! Other cruisers follow the Riga to intercept the enemy's cruisers and drive this group of dogs and bastards away!"

As the four Red Navy cruisers reorganized into a completed formation, Keno Kurita, who was originally planning to support Mikawa Junichi and Kondo Nobutake, had to turn to deal with the harassment of the Red Navy cruisers. The two sides strangled into a group and continued the leading battle.

However, the distance between the two sides was too close, and this close-range battle continued the last script of the fight! During the fierce battle, the cruisers of both sides gradually caught fire, but overall, the losses of the Japanese ships were even greater. Because the Red Navy's small and medium-caliber naval guns were fired faster, and they could use continuous bullets to strafuse the hull above the waterline of the Japanese ship. After a fierce battle, Keno Kurita could only order his heavy cruiser to retreat temporarily because the fire was too large. And basically all the turrets were destroyed.

Not a joke at all, the top number who struggled to return to Japan was found during the docking maintenance that the five main gun turrets were covered with bullet holes, and each turret was shot 50 times on average. Most of the turrets became as light as a sieve. As for the sailors in the turret, 85% were killed. As for the bridge, the bombing was even more severe, with hundreds of ammunition holes up and down. The commander tower was armored, and most of the small-caliber ammunition did not penetrate. Otherwise, Keno Kurita would really not want to go home.

While the cruiser was fighting, the battle between the battleships of both sides also became fierce. As the distance was further shortened, the threat of shells on both sides also doubled. The first one to hit the Japanese, the Atago's 203mm main gun finally hit the Red Samara after the 39th shooting. The shells tore open a hole more than one meter long and sixty centimeters wide in the stern waterline.

Immediately afterwards, the Thunderbolt also scored a hit, but the Moltke at the end of the Red Navy formation he attacked, hit the main armor of the Moltke, and then drilled a shallow pit and was shot into the sea.

Compared with the heavy cruiser that took the lead, the King Kong and Hiei were much less lucky, and the main guns were thundering and did not rain. Most of the shells were either far or near, which made Mikawa Junichi almost crazy.

Fortunately, as the heavy cruiser pierced the window paper, the Hiei finally opened its doors. In the 22nd volley, a 356mm armor-piercing projectile accurately hit the hull of the Red Caucasus. After tearing the main armor apart, it destroyed part of the Red Caucasus cabin and triggered a fire.

At that time, Michuan Junyi jumped up in the bridge with joy. He really hoped that he would see such a scene next: flames spewed out of the body of the enemy ship or huge fireballs, whether it was an ammunition depot explosion or an engine room explosion, it would hurt the enemy severely. Then as the enemy was shot more and more, it inevitably began to sink and finally ended.

However, Michuan Army really made the wrong plan. He didn't ask who the predecessor of the Red Caucasus was, the famous "not-sinking warship" Seidritz. In the Battle of Jutland, he was hit with 22 large-caliber ammunition and a torpedo, and all five main guns were paralyzed. At that time, they all returned to the port staggeringly. Now, what can a mere 356mm shell be considered?

In fact, it is nothing. Although the Red Caucasus has a cabin, it is not serious. Its combat effectiveness is still there, and the four main guns are still firing continuously. It soon won the color of the Rui.

After only five minutes, the Red Caucasus gave Hiei a 305mm armor-piercing projectile and accurately hit the middle of the Hiei hull. Compared with the German Battle Cruise, the base plate of the British Battle Cruise was much worse. Even the Japanese transformed the King Kong class but could not fundamentally solve this problem. This armor-piercing projectile easily tear open the Hiei's main armor belt, and then carried the remaining kinetic energy and continued to penetrate several compartments, and continued to penetrate deep into the vicinity of the engine compartment before exploding "stubbornly".

The violent explosion immediately reimbursed a boiler cabin at Hiei, and a steam turbine was shut down. As the hot steam suddenly ejected, the injured area was "no one should be approached".

This armor-piercing bomb instantly reduced the speed of Hiei, but this was not the most deadly. What's worse was that he seized this opportunity and continued to work harder and continued to greet Hiei with a continuous rain of bullets.

In the third volley after another, the Red Caucasus hit the Hiei's front main gun again and accurately hit the Hiei's front main gun. Although the projectile did not penetrate the main gun shield, the huge kinetic energy caused the turret race to deform and lose its shooting ability. During this period, the Red Caucasus' 130mm secondary gun also opened fire continuously, hitting 85 130mm shells in just seven minutes, almost knocking the Hiei's superstructure into a sieve!

The main gun of the Red Caucasus was also quite powerful in these seven minutes. It fired 75 shells in one breath and hit five shells, turning the Hiei into a fire!

Because the battle was so smooth that Lieutenant Colonel Boris, the Red Caucasus gunman, misjudged that he had destroyed his opponent and ordered the transfer of firepower to attack King Kong. It was not until five minutes later that two flares were fired to illuminate the sea near Hiei. After seeing that the battleship could continue to fire, he aimed at the ship again for a second beating...

With the Hiei seriously injured, Mikawa Junichi felt a lot of pressure. Now he must decide whether to continue fighting or escape quickly... (To be continued.)
