“For the glory of the Imperial Navy, take out the Orientals!”
Lieutenant General Rozhdestwinsky roared loudly.
“For the ease of the Imperial Navy, take out the Toyos!”
The officers and men of the Russian Navy shouted one after another~.
“For the empire, for His Majesty Tianhuang! His Majesty Tianhuang is onboard, and the Eastern Empire is onboard! ”
On the other side, Lieutenant General Heihachiro Togo’s eyes were also full of fanaticism.
“Your Majesty Tianhuang is onboard! Toyo Empire onboard! ”
The officers and men of the Toyo Navy also felt that their blood was boiling, and they were about to burst out one by one.
As time passed, the warships on both sides got closer and closer. The main gun of one door, already loaded with shells, aimed at the opponent’s battleship.
In order to seize a favorable position, the fleets of both sides are constantly adjusting their course, wanting to seize a favorable position.
However, these Mikhail-class battleships of the Russian Navy had a maximum speed of up to 22 knots. In contrast, the Fuji-class battleships of the Toyo and the Shikishima class
The maximum speed of battleships was only 18 knots.
They want to seize the advantageous position in such a situation, and the difficulty can be imagined.
In another time and space, the reason why the combined fleet of the Toyo Navy was able to kill the Second Pacific Fleet of the Tsarist Russian Navy was that under the order of Vice Admiral Heihachiro Togo, the battleship formation of the combined fleet, staring at the gunfire of the Russian battleships, successfully seized the T-head, and then concentrated fire to attack the battleships of the Tsarist Navy, and soon exploded those battleships of the Tsarist Russian Navy one after another.
But in this time and space, Orientals will definitely not have such an opportunity.
Although the battle has not officially begun, foreplay has begun.
However, the Orientals soon discovered that they could not seize advantageous positions. The two battle lines of the two sides were as if they had formed a parallel line. The battleships of the Eastern Imperial Navy turned, and the battle line of the Tsarist Russian Navy also turned. Even if the battle line of the Toyo Navy wanted to shorten the distance, it would not be possible to do so.
You know, the distance between the two battle lines is now about 10,000 meters apart.
Such an approach of the Russian Navy made the Orientals a little puzzled.
You know, naval battles in this era, even duels between battleships, are often only a few kilometers, or even only two or three kilometers. It is not so easy to hit the enemy’s warship from 10,000 meters away. Moreover, because of the power of naval guns, at too long a distance, even if it hits the enemy’s battleship, it may not be able to penetrate the armor of the battleship!
The Eastern Navy has never set in the imperial Royal Navy, and it is natural to learn the tactics of the Royal Navy. Therefore, in the face of this new tactic of the Russian Navy, some are not very adaptable.
“Damn, what the hell are the Russians trying to do? Could it be that they want to fight at such a distance all the time? Or do they think they can take out our warships at such a distance? How is this possible? Lieutenant General Heihachiro Togo was full of doubts in his heart.
“Your Excellency Commander, the actions of the Russians are indeed very strange. However, the longer it drags on, the better it will be for us. Once the Pacific Fleet of the Russians is solved on the side of the sunseters, we can be reinforced. At that time, the Russians will be dead! Shimamura seemed very happy.
Lieutenant General Heihachiro Togo’s brows furrowed tightly, and he subconsciously thought that the Russians must have some kind of conspiracy in doing this. It’s just that it’s not clear why the Russians did this.
On the battleship Mikhail I, the flagship of the home fleet of the Russian Navy, Vice Admiral Rozhdestywinsky and Vice Admiral Makarov both had a smile on their faces.
“Next, it’s time for the Oriental people, even the Sunseters and other navies, to see how powerful we are.” Lieutenant General Rozhdestwinsky said.
“yes, it’s time to make them tremble!” Lieutenant General Makarov also had a feeling of raising his eyebrows.
You know, the Tsarist Imperial Navy has been suppressed by the Royal Navy of the Empire, so that they are all very angry. Now, it is finally possible to show the strength of the Tsarist Imperial Navy without reservation.
“Order the ships, open fire, and in the shortest possible time, take out those warships of the Orientals!” Lieutenant General Rozhdestwinsky ordered.
“Yes, Your Excellency Commander!” The captain of the battleship Mikhail I answered.
“Fire!”
“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
With the command of the gun commander, the three triple 50 caliber 305 mm guns of the battleship Mikhail I emitted a shocking roar.
Orange flames shone at the muzzle, and one by one, the cap-piercing shells had flown out of the muzzle and roared towards the battleship Shikijima of the Toyo Navy.
Because of the test firing, only five of the nine 305mm guns opened fire. The other four doors will fire in the next round.
Once a straddle is formed, it will be transferred to a concentrated fire.
Five 305-mm shells, flying over a distance of tens of thousands of meters, smashed on the sea surface, splashing high water columns.
Because the distance was too far, the impact point was too far from the battleship Shikijima of the Toyo. The nearest impact point was 300 meters away.
However, the Russian Navy was not discouraged, but adjusted the muzzle pitch angle and adjusted the firing parameters.
“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
Immediately, four other 305-mm guns also opened fire again.
This time, although it still did not hit the target, it did not form a straddle shot. However, the impact point is much closer.
At the same time, five other Mikhail I-class battleships of the Russian Navy were also firing heavily at their respective targets.
For a time, the sound of artillery on the sea was rumbling, and the warships of the Russian Navy were constantly firing.
It’s just that the shelling of the Russian Navy did not achieve a hit. However, if you look closely, you can clearly see that the impact point is getting closer and closer to the Oriental battleship.
Once hit, or straddled, the battleships switched to concentrated fire. At that time, three triple 305-mm guns will fire at the maximum rate of fire.
At that point, getting a hit is just a matter of probability. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a hit quickly.
These Mikhail I-class battleships of the Russian Imperial Navy will show the world how powerful the all-heavy artillery battleships are!
