C1318 Stillness (1/2)

It was not because he was cowardly, but because he was an admiral and knew how disadvantageous this narrow channel was to a sea battle.

The only exit was covered by the enemy fire, causing the number of casualties to skyrocket. If they did not wait for the Zhiyuan Warship s to come over, they would not be able to escape.

After all, the battleship relied on its mobility to improve its survivability. No matter how thick the skin of the Iron-armored Ship was, or how powerful the cannons were, if it lost its mobility, it would only end up as a floating coffin.

If you want to fight, you can leave at will. If you don't want to tangle with Xiao Letian, you can directly head north to the Haishenwai to meet him. Since the Tsar's mission is to rescue the Russian Army in the Far East, seizing the gold is not part of the plan.

But could the current situation be reversed? Give up the two armies on the island? Or give up on noble officers like Akson? EdStefanski was really about to collapse. He clearly knew that staying in this Strait was a mistake, but he did not dare to move at all.

”Ice River, Deerhunter, Volga …” The series of names of the warships were called out by the commander in chief, and finally, EdStefanski called out the names of a total of 11 warships.

”Charge out of the western entrance of the strait, use artillery to suppress the Kaolong Mountain Battery, and protect our lifeline … ”Don't worry about me. I'll stay here and stand behind you. I have to take over all the land forces!”

”The troop carrier quickly move closer to me, to the strait, and forcibly transport our soldiers …”

”Commander! This place is too dangerous. If we leave the palace, you can bring the St. Peter with you and charge out of the straits. Go and seal off the straits … ” The other battleships quickly sent over their flags.

It was not that EdStefanski did not want to leave, but he was unable to leave. If I abandoned these armies and so many nobles at this moment, even if I were to finally complete my mission and return to Moscow, I would still be killed, and very miserably.

He could only stubbornly hang on here! If I were to die here in battle, my family would still receive preferential treatment from the Empire. If I were to escape, my family would be finished!

”Cut the crap!” Listen to my orders! The battleship whose name was called will immediately rush out of the strait! ” No one dared to refute this resolute and decisive order. All the battleships quickly aimed their cannons at the mountain and began to wildly fire at each other.

Amidst the sounds of gunfire, the mountain rocks cracked and shattered, the trees were blown into pieces, the Kaolong Mountain Battery's camouflage was blown away amidst the smoke and dust, and the carefully planted trees, shrubs and camouflage nets were all overturned and torn apart.

However, the Russian fleet had underestimated the toughness of the Chinese shore defense cannon. Even though hundreds of cannons had rained down on the cannon, they were unable to suppress any of the cannons.

”Ignore the enemy's warships and let them explode! What we need to do is to eliminate even more troop carrier! As long as the enemy army could not leave! ”If these battleships don't dare to escape, they'll have to stay here and wait …” Telegraph operator shouted at Company Commander amidst the rumbling cannons. He loudly recited the orders he just received.

”What …” Shout louder... Did you f * * king not eat? What... Blast the troop carrier? ”Alright, send a message back to the Director Wang. I've received the order and will complete the mission with all my might …” Company Commander screamed.

”Brothers, let's not bother about battleships anymore, just continue bombing those troop carrier s! ”Sending them back to their hometown, each shot …”

Boom! Boom! Boom! The Kaolong Mountain Battery adjusted the angle of fire, and the shore defense cannons passed the battleship and started to wildly bombard the troop carrier in the distance.

Now, not only was it the Kaolong Mountain Battery who was fighting viciously, General Luo Huo, who was on the other side of the channel, also landed. Under the escort of a group of guards, Luo Huo jumped into the water and looked at the battle arrogantly.
