My Italian Chapter 323

Remember for a second【】

More than an hour after the Italian fleet continued on, an uninvited guest appeared on the horizon.

"This is the Italian fleet."

Captain Nakano, who personally boarded the lookout post, looked at the warship in the distance with a look of surprise.

"The three warships are very big, they should be Turin-class Turin, Palermo, Bari, the latter two should be Venice and Brescia, and one, two, Three, four, five...nine other warships,"

Nakano Ikki excitedly talked about what he saw with the telescope, and he was also excited by several other officers at the sentry post.

"Let's retreat before the enemy finds out. If we are found, we are too dangerous."

"Yeah, if the news doesn't get back, Lieutenant General Ito will miss the opportunity."

Don't blame these officers for saying this, because although their Yaeyama is running fast, it is hard to guarantee that there may be faster battleships in the Italian fleet. As a qualified naval officer, he naturally knows that the best choice after detecting the target is to quickly send the news back. They had absolutely no reason to worry about themselves, it was all for the combined fleet.

Although the other officers' fists and fists are on the side of the country, as the captain, Ikki Nakano must not miss this good opportunity for reconnaissance.

"No, we can't leave yet. We need to get closer, we need more information."

Ikki Nakano, who had more dedication to the country than those officers, completely ignored the danger and ordered to approach the Italian fleet to observe.

Following his orders, the officers and men on the Yaeyama also gradually approached the Italian fleet in fear.

Since Nakano Ikki wanted to observe closely, it was very easy for an equal Italian fleet to spot him. It was not long before he took a closer look at the Italian warships with the ship identification map, and was immediately discovered.

"Lieutenant General, there is a Japanese warship approaching."

When the messenger informed Lieutenant General Alvaro of the discovery of the Yaeyama, the lieutenant also saw the Yaeyama figure in the telescope.

"Immediately order the Barut and Gasco to drive out the enemy ships."

Barut and Gasco are the two fastest cruisers in the Italian fleet. In particular, Barut has the second highest speed after the Eagle. It can run at .7 knots and drive away one. However, the 1,000-ton Yaeyama is not a piece of cake.

Lieutenant General Alvaro didn't want to see this Japanese warship come up to him and drive it away first. Although he also knew that this would expose the position of his fleet, the next action could not be seen by the Japanese.

Lieutenant General Alvaro knew that his first priority was to **** the first division of the Guards to land in Weihaiwei, so he required different approaches.

On the Yaeyama, looking at the two Italian battleships approaching aggressively, Captain Nakano, who wanted to observe for a while, could only order a quick departure from the officers and men of the entire ship.

But fortunately, Yaeyama found the target, so it is not a loss to return his life.

Compared with the cautious officers and soldiers on the Yaeyama, the officers and soldiers on the Eagle were far more arrogant. …

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Several naval guns roared, and the shells they fired were directed at a speeding warship.

The kinetic energy of the propellant can make the shells rush towards the enemy at a speed of eight or nine hundred meters per second, but after eight or nine seconds, the shells that have used up their kinetic energy can only reluctantly glance at the battleship that is still eight or nine hundred meters away. It was plunged into the sea with huge splashes.

On the Eagle, watching the spray from the Japanese naval artillery shells naturally caused a burst of ridicule from the officers and soldiers.

"They still want to hit us so far, do they think they are gods?"

"I think the officer who ordered the firing is definitely not conscious today, which is good news."

Heihachiro Togo and Chief Sada Nomura on the Hayami and Takachiho would definitely vomit blood if they heard this. They don't want to get close to the Eagle before firing the gun with a higher caliber. This is not because the Eagle is too fast, and the fastest ship in the Combined Fleet is more than three knots behind the Eagle. To be able to get the opportunity to fire at this position, it is still the Eagle walking around on its own and trying to harass the combined fleet, otherwise everyone can only sigh.

Besides, everyone is an old seal, and it is unclear how much advantage the three-knot speed has.

"Captain, do you want to fire back?"

In the face of the first officer's question, Captain Pez shook his head. "Take it easy, my first mate, this is just a warning from the enemy that we are too close to them, there is no need to fire back fire, we just continue to sail close to them. Let the boys not be nervous, we will continue to replace the lieutenant general. Try the quality of your opponent."

Following the orders of Major Pez, the Eagle completely ignored the two ships, Hayami and Takachiho, and continued to circle around the combined fleet.

Faced with the Eagle's act of treating the combined fleet as nothing, it naturally attracted the unanimous anger of the officers and soldiers of the Japanese ships, and the Japanese scolding with their respective accents blurted out. bath.

Of course, when the officers and soldiers of the Combined Fleet expressed their anger towards the Eagle, some people had different emotions.

As the commander of the Combined Fleet, Ito Yuheng looked at the flamboyant Eagle with a sad face.

"Deyu, tell me about this Italian Eagle that appeared."

In the face of the commander's words, Chief of Staff Shigeto Dewa said immediately. "Italian Eagle pursued me at 10:48 and the Tsukuba appeared in front of us, and at 10:59 the Tsukuba battleship was sunk in front of us. After the Italian Eagle sank the Tsukuba, it did not rise to the top.

^0^ One second to remember【】

Instead, it has been following our fleet, so that our fleet has to be vigilant enough. "

Ito Yuheng was very satisfied with the answer from Chief Dewa, and then he continued to ask. "Do you think the Italian Eagle's behavior is abnormal?"

In the face of Commander Ito's question, Colonel Dewa nodded and replied. "It's really abnormal. According to reason, the Italian Eagle should return to report after discovering our fleet, but the Italian Eagle stayed around us and never left. Could it be that we didn't have time to find out that there was another ship? Italian warship, it brought back our news?"

"Hopefully so!"

Although he affirmed the analysis of Colonel Dewa, Lieutenant General Ito was somewhat unconvinced. There are so many watch posts in the United Fleet, but I couldn't find any Italian warships. Ito Yuheng certainly doesn't believe that so many watch posts of his own are so incompetent. …

In fact, he still has an idea in his heart, that is, the Italian Eagle must have notified its fleet through a method that he did not know, so he followed him so confidently.

Of course, in his heart, he still hoped that his own observation post had been negligent, rather than his own speculation.

And if the Italian fleet could still communicate at such a long distance, it would be terrifying to think about. This will make the Italian fleet even more powerful, and it will also make it more difficult for the combined fleet, which is already at a disadvantage.

"I hope I'm thinking too much~www.mtlnovel.com~ Ito Yuheng's sudden remarks made Mr. Dewa feel a little baffled by his side.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General, what did you say?"

Ito Yuheng pointed to the Eagle in the distance and said, "I said that our plan A will not work, let's consider plans B and C."

Before Dewa Shigeto, the staff made three plans. Plan A is a plan that the combined fleet can implement before finding the enemy first. In fact, the three plans were formulated according to the different situations encountered by the combined fleet. No. A means that the combined fleet will find the enemy first, No. B is that both sides find opponents at the same time, and No. C is the most unfavorable, and the enemy will find them first.

I don't need to remind Lieutenant General Ito now, and Colonel Dewa also knows that the No. 1 plan is useless at all.

Next, we will see if the warships sent for reconnaissance can bring back the news of the Italian fleet.

Just when the two of them were having a great headache, they suddenly heard a shout from the lookout post. "A warship was found in the distance, it seems to be Yaeyama."

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
