Chapter 217
"It turns out that this is the real strength of the Huaxia Navy, and they hide it too deeply."
When seeing these three fleets that surrounded them.
Sir Charles Forbes suppressed the shock in his heart.
According to the intelligence they gathered.
In addition to the 6 capital battleships that once appeared, two heavy aircraft carriers are also capital ships.
In addition, there are dozens of cruisers, destroyers and submarines of various types.
But judging from the current situation of these three sides.
I know how deep Huaxia hides.
The number of battleships is still so much.
But the number of heavy aircraft carriers of this class increased to six.
How exactly did they hide.
Intelligence really eats dry food.
The capital ship with such an obvious target could not be detected by them.
It's just waste and rice buckets.
But now is not the time to pursue that.
It's what they should do now.
The left and right rear have been surrounded.
These three fleets of China have been hovering about 40 kilometers from them.
If they want to break through by force.
I am afraid that conflicts will inevitably arise.
In the event that either side goes off.
Then a naval battle is inevitable.
If it's usual.
Will Sir Charles be afraid?
Will the admirals of the British Empire be afraid?
They are an invincible navy that dares to show its sword against any formidable enemy.
But the current situation is very unfavorable for them.
Once the fight starts.
Then they will be attacked on three sides.
The only way out is to head north, into the South China Sea.
But once you enter the South China Sea.
It's different.
It became their active invasion.
If it was the previous Huaxia.
Then it doesn't matter if you put it down before, 29 will be a fart.
Forbid them from entering the South China Sea?
It's just a big digest.
But now facing these hundreds of warships in Huaxia.
The invincible British Imperial Navy also had to be recognized once.
So now they have nowhere to run.
"Ask them how long it will be before they reach us.
Let's just say that we have entangled the navy of the Chinese people and attracted their attention.
Now we need them to cooperate with our actions and attack the Chinese fleet from behind.
Let them be fast. "
Sir Charles Forbes was like an old fox at this time.
As the saying goes, dead friends do not die in poverty.
Although this will pit the Yan people.
But who cares?
Through this confrontation, Charles also saw that the Huaxia side did not want to make a move with them.
In this way, there is still room for the relationship between the two sides to turn around.
So now there needs to be a game-breaker.
But what is certain is that this game-breaker will definitely be beaten by fat.
In this way, there are steps under the steps on Huaxia's side, and they can calmly withdraw.
Is there anything more suitable to be a game-breaker than the Wakoku?
The Ballintang Strait is located between Bay Island and Philippin.
It is an extremely important shipping lane.
Dozens of ships of the combined fleet are cutting the wind and waves and sailing forward.
The battleship Mutsu served as the face of the current Wakoku Navy.
It also replaced the sunken battleship Nagato as the flagship of the current Combined Fleet.
As the commander of the fleet of the combined fleet, Yonemitsu Nemasa was on the Mutsu at this time.
Personally command this grand naval battle.
In this naval battle, their navy weighed down on their entire wealth.
As long as it can annihilate this Chinese naval fleet.
Then Huaxia will not be able to pose a threat to them in a short time.
It will buy valuable time for their development.
It would be best if the Sino-Japanese naval battle could be repeated in this battle.
After receiving the telegram from Sir Charles, Mi Guang's internal affairs were shocked.
"Here's your chance."
This was his first thought when he saw this telegram.
He hurriedly came to the chart.
What is drawn on the chart according to the situation on the telegram.
After a long time, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Immediately order Kongo, Hiei, and Haruna to lead a high-speed fleet to the South China Sea.
As soon as our fleet appears, the English will do it.
The rest of the fleet will sail at normal speed. "
The officer on the side immediately understood what the commander of the Miguang Internal Affairs Fleet meant.
"Your Excellency Commander is really tall.
In the words of the Chinese people, this is sitting on a mountain and watching the tiger fight. "
Mi Guang smiled.
"Huaxia must lose, and the English expeditionary fleet must also find a way to weaken them as much as possible.
So we didn't contribute this time.
Let them fish and mussels compete, and we will profit.
Play at the most critical and appropriate time to pick up the pieces.
If the two tigers compete, they will lose both.
In this way, we have not only achieved the strategic goal of eliminating the Chinese fleet.
The goal of weakening the English fleet was also achieved.
Southeast Asia is in our pocket. "
The southward march has become the consensus of the entire empire.
There are two biggest obstacles to entry.
The first is the Pacific Fleet of the United States.
The second is the English Navy. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
This battle is if the vitality of England is greatly damaged.
Then they have no time for Southeast Asia.
As long as they get the eagle sauce, then the treasure land of Southeast Asia is theirs.
Therefore, this time, the Yan people are so eager to help the English people also have their own little calculations.
Three Kongo-class warcruisers left the formation with more than a dozen cruisers with the highest speed and destroyers at a speed of more than 25 knots.
After passing through the Balintang Strait, it headed straight towards the depths of the South China Sea.
In the sky tens of kilometers away from the fleet.
A YJ-100 airborne early warning aircraft painted by Hainan Airlines reported the status of the combined fleet of the United Kingdom to Chen Shaokuan's side.
"The little devil has finally appeared."
Look at this telegram from the AWACS aircraft.
Chen Shaokuan said in a faint tone.
Then his eyes flashed with a sharp color.
The Sino-Japanese Naval Battle was only thirty or forty years old.
But it is a pain engraved in the hearts of all Chinese people.
It is also a naval battle battle fixed on the pillar of shame in China.
And now is the time for them to take revenge.
Although the combined fleet cannot be completely destroyed, it is still no problem to fight a half-crippled.
"Order the whole fleet to best prepare for battle, after so long of silence, it is time to warm up.
Any weaponry can be used in this battle, including anti-ship missiles. "
Anti-ship missiles are currently heavily equipped in the fleet.
It is mainly equipped on faster destroyers and cruisers.
Due to the short time, the battleship has not yet been pulled into the shipyard for modification.
It just so happened that Chen Shaokuan also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to test the power of anti-ship missiles.
"Commander, what about them?"
They were referring to the encircled expeditionary fleet.
At this moment, the expeditionary fleet is shrinking into a ball.
Engage in a naval confrontation with the three major fleets of China.
All the muzzles were raised high and aimed at the Huaxia side.
Chen Shaokuan sneered and said, "Surround them for two days first, and then release them when the little devil arrives."
Let them be human with their tails between their legs in the future. "
Surrounding them is definitely a great shame for the English Navy.
This will definitely make the expeditionary fleet an international joke.
The majesty of the English Armada will also be greatly reduced.
This is a kind of deception.
Although no substantial harm was done to them.
But the impact on them is enormous.
Of course, if the English Expeditionary Fleet chooses to fight with him.
Then he will launch a counterattack unceremoniously.
Sir Charles did not choose to hide the siege of the Far Eastern Fleet.
Such a big thing just can't hide it if you want to.
Moreover, such a significant situation is concealed.
When he returned, he was going to be court-martialed.
The English Naval Command received a telegram from the encirclement of the expeditionary fleet.
For the top of the Navy, it is like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
Fried they are tender inside and charred outside.
I couldn't believe what was on the telegram.
"How is this possible?"
The new Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain still finds it hard to believe this fact.
The expeditionary fleet spent a lot of money and manpower.
As a result, after going to the Far East, it was surrounded by the Chinese fleet.
Moreover, the content of the telegram also made them re-recognize the true strength of the Chinese Navy.
The size of the Huaxia fleet caused them a great shock.
This was also the first time that the English Armada felt a personal threat.
The throne of the world's 880th navy has also been greatly challenged.
At this moment, the Huaxia fleet is no longer left behind in comparison with them, both in terms of scale and quality.
Their only advantage may be the number of capital ships.
So far, they have a total of 12 battleships and 2 battle cruisers.
And on the Huaxia side, there are also 6 battleships and 6 heavy aircraft carriers with a tonnage no less than the Wuyue-class battleships.
This is also classified as the main battleship sequence.
As for their aircraft carriers, it can only be said that they are not worthy yet.
This is what shocks them the most.
It's only been a few years, just two or three years.
The strength of the Chinese Navy has been further enhanced.
They have grown to the point where they can be equal.
In the face of the current situation, Chamberlain's side is also a little overwhelmed.
Because they can't seem to do anything now.
Two days later.
The English expeditionary fleet was surrounded around the nine-dash line for two full days.
During these two days, they also wanted to take advantage of the night to break out of the encirclement formed by the Huaxia fleet.
But Huaxia's side is like a long eye.
Let their every move go unnoticed.
"Radar, it must be radar, they put radars on warships."
Sir Charles is no stranger to such a thing as radar.
After all, now the radar is already equipped in English soil.
Their homegrown chain radar started construction as early as last year.
These actions of Huaxia all prove that they have installed radars on warships.
At this time, Sir Charles finally knew why the Chinese fleet was able to evade their search.
And they can accurately intercept their reconnaissance aircraft.
Now everything is out.
But it also made him even more powerless.
Finally in the early morning of the third day.
They were surprised to find that there was only one of the three fleets left on the sea.
Wandering around them, the other warships did not know what to do.
"Is it....."
Sir Charles looked in the direction where the South China Sea was located and suddenly remembered something.
