The Northern Fleet's cleaning of Vladivostok's sea defense turret was very smooth. After changing armor-piercing bombs, the efficiency was at least 10 times higher than before. It was a little delayed in front of a few main turrets. The rest was often cleaned up by one or two rounds of artillery bombs. The power of the battleship main gun and armor-piercing bombs was satisfactory.⊙,

Cheng Biguang was very satisfied with the warships under his feet. These warships were one year later than Scher's warships, which looked almost the same, but in fact, they were different. The Fantasy and Orion were changed, without the addition of new technologies, and only simple adjustments were made. The first was the power system. The newer power replaced the original power system and replaced it with more advanced steam turbines and heavy oil engines. The overall power increased by 15%.

On large warships like Fantasy-class, the power increase by 15% can almost increase the warship to a higher level. There are certain improvements in range, speed, and even explosive power. The artillery has also been fine-tuned. The caliber of the 15-inch cannon has not been improved in terms of caliber, but the body multiple has increased from the original 47 to 52 or 5 times, and the penetration increase is at least 20%.

When developing a new 52-caliber 15-inch naval gun, it consumed a lot. Even the rich and powerful Chinese Navy could not bear it. Finally, it decided to fix the 52-caliber number. In the future, the 15-inch will be 52-caliber and will not continue to be improved. If it is further improved, the caliber of the artillery will be increased. At that time, the new generation of main ships will use larger tonnage to increase their power. This will also be the last batch of conventionally powered battleships to be manufactured by the entire Northwest.

In addition to the very critical aspects of these two warships, the biggest improvement is the armor improvement, and the materials science of the Northwest. It is almost the strongest discipline in the Northwest, and has a certain foundation. With the help of the all-in-one machine, a complete discipline has been formed, and the synthetic and analytical functions of the all-in-one machine. For materials science, it is simply the biggest cheater, and even rare earth materials additives have been introduced on the materials.

Rare earth materials that were originally going to advance rapidly after World War II, the new materials era, have now begun to be used in smelting. Some additives and trace elements have even formed systems. Therefore, the simplest armor has been completed. Even in the Yinshan base, the research on armor's forces reacts to armor. Although it is only a preliminary progress, it also represents a stronger direction.

Whether it is the fantasy level or the Orion modification, the overall appearance has not changed significantly, but there are significant differences in combat power. At least if the main gun is used 52 times the caliber, coupled with the increase in its own strength, the power of the gun has increased by 30%.

30% is nothing for warships. Anyway, if the 15-inch naval gun is used, any warship armor can be torn apart except for the fantasy-class main armor belt. The increase of 30% is not much different from the increase, but it will have a great effect on land.

Unlike warships, land-based turrets can use reinforced concrete fortifications, and some can reach 3 meters in a mad manner. Even more than 4 or 5 meters. Under what circumstances, most naval guns need several times or even more times to pass through. This is also the reason why warships are powerless in land warfare. Even if they are higher than the level, they need many cannons. If they cannot break the armor in a short time, then the opponent may be able to recover in a short time.

Any damage to the armored belt of a warship must be replaced. However, the land turrets, not to mention the reinforced concrete structure turrets can be quickly repaired, even temporary sandbags and other things can provide certain protection. This is the case here in Vladivostok. For some turrets that are temporarily strengthened, a large number of pockets can be used to hit sand and soil to increase protection.

But they did not expect that the opponent's main ship was a real 15-inch naval gun. Not only was it powerful, it also increased the caliber of the body tube and increased the power of the artillery by 30%. It was still the premise of using tungsten cores to penetrate the homogeneous reinforced concrete fortifications to reach 4.5 meters. In this era, most of the fortifications could not block such an attack. Even if it was impossible to penetrate all, it would definitely be able to penetrate within two or three shots. In this case, the effect of the naval gun on the roadbed turret was very obvious. In just half an hour of artillery bombardment, several turrets outside Vladivostok were cleared, revealing the main position inside.

Vladivostok's defensive fortresses extend in based on the coastline. In the past six months, it has been strengthened to a certain extent. China suddenly occupied Chita, which shocked them. Although they did not believe that the Chinese would take the initiative, the facts proved that their ideas were wrong. Not only did the Chinese fleet come, it almost destroyed Vladivostok's peripheral defense.

At this time, the main officers of Vladivostok did not dare to stay in the peripheral artillery anymore. The accuracy and sharpness of the Chinese fleet's artillery fire were far beyond their imagination. The most important thing was that the hidden artillery arranged on the peripheral artillery did not play any role and was removed by the Chinese fleet's periphery at a fixed point.

12 nautical miles away, it is far beyond the maximum range of the turret. Even the cannons arranged on the main turret of more than 300 meters can only be fired 12 kilometers. This is almost half the difference from 12 nautical miles. It is equivalent to the turret in Vladivostok, which was killed one by one without a single shot. Not to mention that Russian officers have never seen such a thing, even in the history of the world, there has never been such a big difference between land and sea.

Regardless of whether you can defend it or not, the main turret outside cannot stay for too long. The other party has a very good understanding of the arrangement of the turret near Vladivostok and is very patient in the cleaning process. Even if you occasionally enter, you will have a long distance from the maximum range of the turret, let alone the effective range.

In Vladivostok's defense system, the main high ground turret is an important cornerstone. It is almost impossible for the opponent to let go of this turret. With the opponent's artillery's armor-piercing ability, there is no position on this high ground. No one wants to die before he succeeds. All the senior Russian officials in Vladivostok began to retreat from the main high ground turret.

In the headquarters, the Russian officers had a serious expression. These turrets destroyed by artillery artillery in the Northern Fleet occupy no more than half of the total number of Vladivostok turrets, which sounds not much. However, Vladivostok's turrets have accumulated over the years. These half-component turrets have already included most of the largest caliber. If all turrets above 11 inches are destroyed, Vladivostok's defense against the sea has been reduced to the extreme.

If the Chinese fleet still maintains such efficiency, it would be very scary. It is only half an hour. Based on the early time, at most ten hours, the entire Vladivostok will become an unguarded city at sea and cannot withstand the attack from the sea. But what can it do? The opponent's range is far above the land-based turret. No matter how uneven they are, they cannot increase the range of the shells. They can only watch and watch. There is no other way.

"Maybe, let the torpedo boat take action for a try!" said the commander-in-chief of the fortress. Wu Yangfu looked stern. Of course, he knew that continuing and waiting for the Pacific Fleet would be a catastrophe. Using a torpedo boat to attack was a helpless choice and a tragic suicide impact. Any ship on the other side had an overwhelming advantage over the torpedo boat. As long as there was any artillery fire from a large or small gun that landed on the torpedo boat, the torpedo boat would not be able to take it.

At this time, Wu Yangfu could not be conservative. There was no way to attack the torpedo boat. The northern fleet is getting closer and closer to the port. If the torpedo boat strikes for a round, it may be effective. At least it cannot let the other party keep getting closer.

The air balloon in the sky, plus the airship hovering at a higher position, could not hide any movements of the Russian army in Vladivostok. When the torpedo boats were ready and rushed out together, the Northern Fleet was ready and also prepared the anti-torpedo boat camp.

It is difficult to deal with torpedo boats. They are deep in the port and are protected by turrets. They are not easy to come out. If you want to find out, there are only torpedo boats, Fantasy and Orion modifications. The biggest effect is the command system, which can aim at multiple targets and hit the heavy artillery accurately, so that the torpedo boats that are attacking with an advantage in numbers will be sunk one by one before they enter the range of fish launches. They use the main gun to hit the torpedo boats. This is also unique in the world. One shot is one. In just 3 minutes, the torpedo boats have been cleaned up. However, the nearest torpedo boats are still about 5 nautical miles away from the battleship. Torpedo boats with more than 40 knots have no effect in precise aiming and the range of the main battleship.

A large number of torpedo boats were sunk one by one, which directly dispelled the final resistance of the Russian Pacific Fleet. The strong strength shown by the Chinese northern fleet made the Pacific Fleet never leave the port in this battle. For them, leaving the port and facing the Chinese army is dangerous, but it is not dangerous if they don’t leave. Hiding in the port and protecting the ship is hugging it, but once the port is captured, the fleet will almost be completely captured, which is even worse.

From then on, the Northern Fleet began to clear the land turret at a fixed point, completely cutting off Vladivostok's protection ability on the mountain. Vladivostok, which was closely guarded, finally revealed a flaw. In the days to come, the flaws will become bigger and bigger, almost laying the main tone of the battle situation. (To be continued.)
