Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

As Fuso's First Asian Fleet officially sailed out of Changxiong Port, four columns of ships of different sizes were formed on the sea, and a real, unprecedented large-scale naval battle was completely launched.

The main battleship of Fuso's First Asian Fleet is the Hyuga, the representative of Fuso's Ise-class battleships. The Yamato and Musashi, which represent the pride of Fuso, are now in the battle sequence of the Pacific Combined Fleet in Fuso's homeland.

The Hyuga, with a displacement of 3.9 tons, is 215 meters long and about 34 meters wide. It can be regarded as a giant ship that roams the sea, but compared with the Chengfeng and Zhulang of the South China Sea Fleet at this time, it is like a small boat in front of a giant sea fortress.

除了日向号之外，第一舰队还拥有两艘金刚级战列舰，标准排水量吨; 尺寸长222米/宽31.7米/吃水9.6米 动力:8台重油专烧锅炉;主机功率马力; 航速30节;。

In addition, they also have six heavy cruisers, namely the Furutaka class, Aoba class, and Myoko class, eight light cruisers, namely the Tenryu class and Nagara class, 12 destroyers, namely the Kamikaze class, Fubuki class, and Shiratsuyu class, the light aircraft carrier Houshou, eight light frigates, one large amphibious command ship, and six Type A and Type B submarines, with a total tonnage of more than 8 tons. This is undoubtedly an invincible fleet capable of traversing the entire Pacific Ocean.

But unfortunately, they encountered the South China Sea Fleet, which had a total tonnage of over 1.3 million tons, more than 100 ships, and giant sea battleships such as Chengfeng and Zhulang weighing 100,000 tons.

At this time, Hase Qingchuan, standing on the deck of the amphibious command ship Yumu, held a telescope and looked at the South China Sea Fleet in the distance. He couldn't believe his eyes. The other side actually had two Yamato-class battleships! That's right, it was the pride of their Fuso, the overlord of the sea weighing 100,000 tons!

At this moment, Hase Qingchuan was filled with indescribable anger and surprise. He was angry that someone in the country had leaked the construction drawings and technology of the Yamato-class battleships. Otherwise, how could China have owned the Yamato-class battleships? He was surprised that in just two years, China had such a large fleet. It was hard to accept and unimaginable.

With the command of the commanders of both sides, the naval battle officially kicked off. The artillery fire of the Fuso fleet launched the attack first. The shells streaked across the sky like meteors, and with a piercing whistle, they hit the Chinese fleet fiercely. In an instant, the sea surface was filled with flames and smoke. The Chinese fleet was not to be outdone and immediately fought back. The artillery fire intertwined into a sea of ​​fire. The fleets of both sides continued to fight in the baptism of artillery fire.

During the fierce artillery battle, a Fuso warship suddenly began to emit thick smoke. It turned out that it was hit by a precise shell from the Chinese fleet, and the fire spread rapidly. The officers and soldiers on the ship were terrified. They tried to put out the fire, but the fire was out of control. In the end, the warship gradually sank to the bottom of the sea in the raging fire and became the first victim of this naval battle.

Although the Chinese fleet has achieved a temporary victory, it has not let down its guard. They know that the real test has just begun. The Fuso fleet still has a strong combat capability, and their tactics are varied and hard to guard against. The Chinese fleet must maintain a high degree of vigilance and unity to cope with the next challenge.

Sure enough, not long after, the Fuso fleet launched a new attack. This time they adopted the tactic of dispersed assault, trying to disperse the firepower of the Chinese fleet. The Chinese fleet did not panic in the face of this change. They quickly adjusted their formation and redeployed their warships to a more advantageous position. At the same time, they also used submarines and torpedoes and other weapons to counterattack the Fuso fleet.

In this fierce battle, both fleets showed superb tactical qualities and tenacious fighting spirit. The officers and soldiers of the Fuso fleet were not afraid of the strong enemy and marched forward bravely; while the officers and soldiers of the Chinese fleet, with their firm belief and excellent cooperation, resolved the enemy's offensive time and time again.

When the battle reached its most intense stage, the fleets of both sides were close to hand-to-hand combat. At this time, a Chinese warship suddenly rushed towards a Fuso warship, and the two warships started a thrilling close combat at sea. Artillery fire, torpedoes, collisions... Both sides used all available means to try to kill each other.

In this close combat, the Chinese warships relied on their numerical advantage and excellent operational skills to finally defeat their opponents. The Fuso warship turned into a sea of ​​fire in the violent explosion and became another victim of this naval battle.

As the battle progressed, the Fuso fleet gradually fell into a disadvantage. The number of their warships continued to decrease, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. The Chinese fleet, on the other hand, gradually gained the upper hand with its indomitable fighting spirit and excellent tactical coordination.

This was a naval battle whose outcome was doomed from the beginning. Forty years ago, in the Battle of the Asian Sea, the Yellow Sea Fleet representing the Qing Empire was completely wiped out in a close combat with the Fuso Fleet. A total of eleven warships were sunk, and the Qing government was forced to sign a series of unequal treaties.

For decades, the entire Chinese nation has been shrouded in the shadow of the Asian Sea Campaign. There is an indescribable fear of Fuso's naval power. Even Fuso's Yamato battleship docked at Songhu Port can put the entire city of Shanghai under threat. Today, under the command of Admiral Mountbatten, the South China Sea Fleet has demonstrated perfect tactics, extremely high tactical literacy and coordination, and has completely defeated Fuso's Asian Sea First Fleet without any ability to fight back.

In the end, this unprecedented naval battle ended with the destruction of the Fuso Asia First Fleet. None of the dozens of ships of the Fuso Asia First Fleet escaped the encirclement of the South China Sea Fleet. Their Vice Admiral and Commander of the First Fleet Hase Aokawa was captured alive. The battleships Kongo and Hyuga were completely destroyed and sank to the bottom of the sea amid the roar of artillery fire from the Chengfeng and Zhulang.

On the sea, the smoke of war had not yet completely dissipated. The sun was blocked by thick clouds, with only mottled light and shadows projected on the rough sea, as if to put a layer of tragic cloak on this tragic battle.

The warships of the South China Sea Fleet stood proudly, with smoke still wafting from their gun muzzles. On the other side of the sea, the remains of the Fuso Asia First Fleet were scattered on the sea, like a group of abandoned giant beasts, quietly telling the sorrow of the losers.

In the distance, a Fuso cruiser was still emitting smoke. Its hull had been severely damaged, but it still stubbornly floated on the sea. Its guns had been silent, but it seemed to be silently accusing the cruelty of this war.

In addition to the wreckage of the warship, there were also countless Fuso soldiers who fell into the water. They struggled in the cold sea water, wailing one after another. Some soldiers clung to a floating wooden board, trying to survive in the waves; others were so seriously injured that they could only lie helplessly on the sea, letting the waves wash over them.

The South China Sea Fleet, in this naval battle, used the destruction of the First Fleet of the Fuso Asian Sea, the wailing and blood of countless Fuso navy, to prove the strength of the Chinese Navy, and also washed away the shame that had been lingering on the entire Chinese nation! They shattered the pride of Fuso and let the world know that China had stood up.
