The huge fleet set sail slowly, and under the cover of the surrounding morning fog, the huge body made the fishermen on the Shengsi Islands who were preparing to go to sea to fish think that the sea god was born, and they knelt on the bow of the ship to beg the 'sea god' for safety.

If you look down from a height of several thousand meters in the sky, you can see that in the sea area of the Yangtze River estuary, the Japanese Third Fleet is coming out of the Yangtze River estuary, and the North Sea Fleet is heading north on the outside of the Yangtze River estuary, forming a natural T-shape.

The warships sent by the North Sea Fleet to participate in the interception battle at the mouth of the Yangtze River include the battleship Zhenyuan, the battlecruiser Dingyuan, the heavy cruiser Jingyuan and Laiyuan, and the light cruiser Zhiyuan.

The light cruiser Jingyuan was responsible for escorting the Yang Wei seaplane on the Shengsi Islands.

At the same time that the North Sea Fleet sent north to intercept the Japanese Third Fleet, the Yang Wei seaplane aircraft carrier hiding in the Shengsi Islands was also busy, and one after another Me-109C carrier-based aircraft took off from the deck and flew towards the East China Sea.

Their mission was to reconnoiter the possible presence of the Japanese fleet and warships of other countries in the East China Sea to escort the battle.

And the fighters that really participated in the interception battle would be a fighter group and a bomber group of the Shanghai Task Force Air Force of the Zhenbei Army.

At 7:32 a.m. on 7 February, the Japanese Third Fleet, which had been bombed by the Zhenbei Air Force, sped up and sailed out of the mouth of the Yangtze River.

The commander of the Third Fleet, Nomura Kichizaburo, ordered the fleet to form a circular formation, escort the two aircraft carriers in the middle, and sent two destroyers of the 13th Destroyer Fleet and several minesweepers of the 1st Mine Group to reconnoiter the periphery of the Yangtze River estuary.

Although he stayed in Shanghai for so many days and the Huaxia fleet did not appear, which made Nomura Kichizaburo very disdainful, he still sent destroyers to reconnoiter the mouth of the Yangtze River to prevent being attacked by the Huaxia fleet.

After all, the air forces of the Chinese people have already arrived, and if their small fleet rushes up without their own strength, Nomura Kichizaburo will not feel strange, but it is just an act of sending them to death.

At 7:40 a.m., the destroyer Wuzhu, which was reconnoitring in the front, received news that a mixed Anglo-American fleet consisting of two battleships and three cruisers had been found off the coast of the Yangtze River, heading north.

Nomura Kichizaburo was stunned, and then his brows jumped rapidly, feeling that this matter did not seem to be simple, he asked his staff officer Jun Kitano: "Are the British and American ghost animals conducting joint exercises?"

"Order the Wu Zhu in front of you to ask. Jun Kitano said cautiously.

After all, this place has been reduced to a war zone, and the European and American powers only have a few destroyers in Shanghai, when will such a large fleet be sent north?

The size of this fleet is probably only the Far East Fleet of the Royal Navy of England and Georgia in Hong Kong and the Pacific Fleet of the United States.

Soon the news came from the Wu Zhu, which was reconnoitring in the front, and the fleet on the other side replied that they were going north to Vladivostok to hold a joint exercise with the Soviet fleet, and invited the island countries and Huaxia to also participate in a joint exercise codenamed Pacific Peace Exercise.

Nomura Kichizaburo and Kitano Jun's faces immediately became gloomy, such an arrogant arrogance is really the arrogance of European and American ghost animals as always.

"It seems that this exercise is probably putting pressure on us. Jun Kitano sneered.

"After all, the Navy holiday is coming to an end, and Europe and the United States still want to renew their contracts. Nomura Kichizaburo snorted softly.

By this time, the Third Fleet had gradually sailed out of the mouth of the Yangtze River and into the waters of the East China Sea, and the lookout on the flagship Izumo reported that the combined British and American fleet could already be observed.

On the sea, taking into account the sea level curve and the height of the bridge, fleet mappers quickly reported that the combined Anglo-American fleet was about forty-two kilometers away from them.

This distance is exactly the limit that can be observed after the curve of the earth, but to judge the type of warship, it is at least close to 35 kilometers to observe in detail.

And thirty-five kilometers is already within the range of battleships!

At this time, the Zhenbei Army Air Force, which was harassing the Third Fleet, had gradually withdrawn and returned to replenish ammunition and fuel, and while Nomura Kichizaburo breathed a sigh of relief, he ordered the destroyers in front to reconnoiter the situation of the opposing fleet.

At the same time, the fleet was ordered to follow the flagship within the limits of possibility.

But it didn't take long for the destroyers who were scouting ahead to hear that the Anglo-American fleet did not answer them again!

Gradually, the two fleets had entered within thirty-five kilometers, and Nomura Kichizaburo was holding a telescope and could already see the strange fleet with the British and American flags.

Looking at the somewhat unfamiliar ship type, he felt that something was wrong, and Jun Kitano was also vigilant: "Your Excellency Commander, order the fleet to change formation." "

At this moment, an urgent telegram came from the destroyer that was reconnoitring in front!

The fleet on the opposite side replaced the British and American flags and replaced them with the flags of the Republic of China! And began to advance diagonally to the northwest! A large net was formed!

"Damn!" Nomura Kichizaburo was just about to give the order, when he saw the opposite fleet replaced with the flag of the Republic of China, he instantly knew that he had been tricked, and he was so angry that he pinched the telescope in his hand.

Then he shouted: "Pass my order!" The whole ship is ready to engage !!."

Get ready for battle!!

Rapid sirens sounded on the Japanese warships, and the sudden drastic changes made the entire Third Fleet break out in a cold sweat, and the Japanese troops flocked to the various departments of the warships like ants.

But looking at this Huaxia fleet, which has already seized the T-word, all the naval personnel gasped!

At least two battleships and three cruisers, all of which were at least 7,000 tons of tonnage, completely crushed their Third Fleet! The two fleets were not of the same class at all!

When did Huaxia build up such a huge fleet?

"Yaga!

These British and American ghost beasts!

" The two fleets had already sailed within thirty-two kilometers, and after holding up the binoculars and taking a closer look, Jun Kitano gritted his teeth and said: "The prestige-class cruiser of the British and Georgian countries!

There is also a battleship of unknown type!

I have never seen it!

Either it has undergone large-scale modification or it is a new battleship, and the two heavy cruisers are both New Orleans class of the United States!

That particularly outstanding ship type will definitely not admit it!

Damn, didn't this kind of warship just start to be built in the United States? When was it launched and sold? And a German cruiser Königsberg!

Amaterasu is on top!

"

"Your Excellency Commander!" Jun Kitano looked nervously at Kichizaburo Nomura, the commander of the Third Fleet.

In the face of such a huge fleet, no matter how you look at it, the Third Fleet has no chance of winning......

"Send a report to the embassy and the domestic base camp immediately! These damn British and American ghost beasts have actually joined forces with the Chinese people to trap us!" Nomura Kichizaburo's face was gloomy, and he said fiercely: "Pass my order! The formation will not change! All ships will advance at full speed! Prepare to break through!"

This is no longer a question of whether it can be fought, but how to bring the Third Fleet to break through!

As the two fleets got closer and closer, it seemed that even the air began to scorch, and the more than 30 warships of the Japanese army were silent, and everyone looked at this cunning fleet that had suddenly changed to the Chinese flag with gloomy faces.

They may have forgotten that in the thirty-seventh year of Dadonggou, the Japanese Combined Fleet deceived the Beiyang Fleet in exactly the same way!
