Chapter 680 Naval Battle (2)
The commander of the Admiral Grafspie cruiser No. 1 stood on the bridge, looking at the Yubari patrol ship slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea in the distance, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
He quickly picked up the communicator, adjusted it to the flagship channel, and reported calmly and forcefully: "Flagship, this is Admiral Grafspe Cruiser No. 1, reporting that our army has successfully sunk the enemy patrol ship Yubari. However, according to preliminary analysis, the enemy has sent a message back to the flagship before the sinking, indicating that the enemy's reinforcements will arrive soon."
On the flagship, Wang Junjie stood in front of the large battle map in the command room, listening calmly to the report from the front. There was no fluctuation on his face, only his deep eyes flashed with a fascinating brilliance.
After confirming the news, he slowly turned around and faced the combatants on the ship, speaking in a deep and powerful voice: "Attention, all ships, I am Wang Junjie. We have just achieved a phased victory, but this is only the beginning of the battle. The enemy has learned of our actions, and support will arrive soon. Now, I order the entire fleet to immediately enter a state of high alert, strengthen radar and sonar surveillance, and ensure full coverage of the surrounding waters. At the same time, all ships are ready for battle and are ready to meet more intense challenges at any time."
"Our goal is not only to sink the enemy ships, but also to give the Fuso Navy a direct blow and let them know that China's maritime borders cannot be violated!" Wang Junjie's words were full of strong fighting spirit.
As Wang Junjie's order was issued, the entire fleet quickly took action. The crew members were busy and orderly preparing at their respective posts. The light spots on the radar screen kept flashing, and the sonar equipment was constantly analyzing the movements under the sea. The air was filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere. Everyone knew that the upcoming battle would be an unprecedented fierce battle.
The North Sea First Fleet, a powerful maritime force composed of diverse ships, instantly transformed into a steel behemoth ready to go after receiving the calm and firm combat orders from Commander Wang Junjie, ready to meet the upcoming challenges.
The three Bismarck battleships, as the giants in the fleet, slowly adjusted their course, and the main turrets slowly turned, and the huge muzzles seemed to be able to swallow all obstacles. On their decks, the crews were busy and orderly, ensuring that every shell was accurately loaded into the gun barrel, ready to launch destructive power at any time.
The ten Admiral Scheer armored ships, with their heavy armor and powerful firepower support, played an indispensable role in the fleet. They followed the battleships closely, and the guns on the turrets were aimed at the direction of possible enemy ships, ready to provide firepower support at any time.
The Admiral Grafspie cruisers, in four groups of five ships each, formed several fast assault groups in the fleet with their high speed and flexibility. They were scattered around the fleet like a series of flowing lines of defense, which could not only quickly attack the enemy, but also flexibly protect the fleet from enemy sneak attacks.
The Narvik-class large destroyers and Königsberg-class light cruisers, with their excellent anti-submarine and escort capabilities, built an indestructible protective network in the fleet. They shuttled between the fleets, vigilantly monitoring the movements on the sea to ensure the safety of the fleet.
The unique Jiaolong, the former Fuso Yamato-class battleship, has been transformed and upgraded by the Chinese Navy and now looks brand new. It not only retains the powerful firepower and solid armor of the original ship, but also incorporates the tactical concepts and technological innovations of the Chinese Navy. It is quietly anchored in the center of the fleet, like a majestic monarch, overlooking the entire battlefield.
The Zeppelin aircraft carrier, as the air force pillar of the fleet, has a variety of carrier-based aircraft parked on its deck. The pilots are nervously checking the status of the aircraft, ready to take off at any time to perform combat missions. Around the aircraft carrier, several escort ships are also on standby to protect this precious air fortress.
Admiral Hipper-class heavy cruisers and Baltimore-class heavy cruisers provided strong firepower support for the fleet with their medium and long-range firepower strike capabilities. They worked closely with the destroyer groups to form multiple firepower groups, ready to launch a fatal attack on the enemy fleet.
The destroyers "Cossack" play the role of assaulters in the fleet with their flexibility and powerful torpedo attack capability. They are ready to break into the enemy fleet at any time and use torpedoes to give the enemy ships a fatal blow.
The Iowa-class battleship and the Blue Ridge flagship, as the fleet's flagship and command center, stood at the forefront of the fleet. Commander Wang Junjie stood on the bridge of the Blue Ridge, gazing into the distance with a sharp gaze, and led the entire fleet forward with his calm and steady command.
As for the submarine fleet with 42 submarines, they have quietly spread out in every corner of the sea, like a group of lurking hunters waiting for the appearance of prey. They use their strong underwater concealment to conduct reconnaissance and attack the enemy fleet, providing important intelligence support and tactical advantages for the entire fleet.
Under the command of Wang Junjie, the entire North Sea First Fleet has entered a full combat posture. Each ship is like a chess piece on the battlefield, being carefully arranged and deployed in preparation for the upcoming decisive battle.
In the command room of the Fuso Musashi battleship, the lights were dim and solemn, and a tense atmosphere permeated every corner. Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence in the room. The messenger walked in quickly, stood at attention and saluted, with a hint of urgency in his voice: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, urgent information!"
Vice Admiral Yamamoto Kaede, commander of the First Pacific Fleet, was sitting in front of a huge battle map, staring at every detail on the chart. He slowly raised his head, looked at the messenger with a sharp gaze, and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, what's the situation?"
The messenger quickly unfolded the telegram in his hand and reported word by word: "The patrol ship Yubari sent the last communication, confirming that it had discovered the whereabouts of the North Sea Fleet and reported the exact coordinates. However, it was strongly blocked by the enemy when trying to evacuate and has now sunk. But before sinking, Yubari has successfully transmitted the information back."
Upon hearing this, Yamamoto Kaede frowned, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes. He quickly stood up, walked to the battle map, and quickly moved his finger across the map, finally stopping at the coordinates reported by the Yubari. "Immediately confirm the authenticity of the intelligence and calculate the possible direction of the enemy fleet." He gave orders to the staff around him.
The staff officers immediately got busy, with the sounds of keyboards tapping and papers shuffling. After a while, a staff officer came forward to report: "Your Excellency, the intelligence has been confirmed. According to the enemy's speed of movement and our intelligence analysis, the North Sea Fleet is moving at full speed in this direction, and its intentions are unclear."
Yamamoto Feng nodded, his eyes flashing with determination. "Everyone pay attention!" He shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the command room, "Pacific First Fleet, immediately enter the first level of combat readiness. All ships, according to the predetermined plan, go to the coordinate sea area at full speed to meet the enemy. We must give the enemy a head-on blow and defend our sea borders!"
"Yes!" A neat response rang out in the command room, and the crew members quickly took action. Various instructions were quickly transmitted to the entire fleet through radio waves. Yamamoto Feng stood in front of the battle map, staring at the distant sea, and silently said in his heart: "This battle, we must win!"
