Chapter 455 The Battle of Solomon (4)

9oo1o64o1 Chapter 4 Solomon Battle Four

The second update today is expected to be updated tomorrow morning. Please chew.

At 17:00 a.m., the remaining four cruisers of the Russian Ninth Army, led by the agent flagship Varyag, turned to the commander of the O. Varyag in a panic, and were only concerned about avoiding the "fire power volley of the Imperial Qin Navy's third team. However, they ignored the overall strategic situation, causing the Russian Ninth cruiser team to hit the gun of the Imperial Qin Navy's fourth team.

"Haha. Lao Yi is so nice! He doesn't forget to drink soup for his brothers when he eats meat!" Lieutenant General Wu Qiang, the commander of the fourth team, had an excited expression on his face.

At this moment, the Russian Ninth Team headed, the Imperial Qin Navy's Fourth Team headed, and the four and two teams crossed in a large angle, which is the best position and time for interspersed cutting tactics.

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Wu Qiang immediately ordered: "The entire team was added to the extreme, and the Lushun and Weihaiwei kept their course unchanged, directly attacking the head ship of the enemy fleet. The Dalian and Dandong left rudder, attacking the two central ships of the enemy fleet, preparing to divide and surround, and attack the two enemy ships in front and back."

The order was issued, and the Dalian and Dandong broke away from the Chiang formation, turned and injured, and advanced alongside the Lushun and Weihaiwei, and rushed towards the Russian Ninth Team. "The flagship of the Russian Ninth Team, Varyag, had now appeared the Emperor Qin Navy formation that was speeding over from the starboard Bemi.

At this moment, the Russian Ninth Team formed a "factory position against the Fourth Team of the Emperor Qin Navy, so the Captain Varyag ordered the firing without hesitation.

Suddenly, the Varyag and Ascould concentrated eight 2-mm main guns and sixteen 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,

In an instant, dozens of cannons spit out flames, and the shells caused countless waves on the sea. The Lushun and Dalian were flying in front of the artillery fire, and their speed was still unabated and they rushed towards them.

The heavy cruiser of the Fourth Team was an early foreign order of Flying Eagle-class warship. Unlike the self-built Wangshu-class heavy cruisers, it actually belongs to large armored cruisers strictly defined in the West, so it does not care about the artillery fire of Russian cruisers at all. However, even armored cruisers are not fully covered, and the armor on the horizontal deck of the ship is relatively thin and cannot withstand the impact of the enemy's 2-mm shells. The bombing is full of bomb craters.

However, all this has become accustomed to the Lushun. Because every naval battle, the front and rear decks of the Lushun will be hit by countless shells, and they will be blown up incompletely. However, because of the thick armor protection, the important parts are not afraid of the artillery fire of Russian cruisers.

The Captain Varyag originally thought that at this moment they occupied the advantageous "head position, and they would retreat and turn the direction when it was convenient. However, after several rounds of artillery, the other party not only did not turn. The front main gun also opened fire at them. What was even more dangerous was that they rushed straight.' Looking at the front deck of the Lushun, the Captain Varyag and Ascold were completely destroyed. The Captain Varyag was in deep thought, but why did they seem to care about it?

Then there is only one explanation, they are armored cruisers. Thinking of this, the Captain Varyag immediately understood the other party's intentions.

Obviously, they wanted to rush into their team with their armor protection and shoot at close range. Because Russian cruisers could not penetrate the opponent's armor protection, even if they broke through, they would not be very destructive. On the contrary, the shells of Chinese armored cruisers could easily tear open the fragile armor of Russian cruisers.

Thinking of this, Captain Li Xuan of the Varyag ordered: "No. 3, No. 4 torpedo ready!"

The order was issued, and the No. 3 and No. 4 torpedo chambers in the center of the starboard side of the Varyag were immediately busy, and they hurriedly installed fuses for No. 3 and No. 4, and set the depth and set the standard.

"No. 3 and No. 4 torpedo are ready!"

The captain of the Varyag nodded, picked up the telescope and continued to observe the Lushun heavy cruiser coming inside. Then he asked, "Distance!"

"Dressed rice!"

"Must-taste rice".

"Compare rice!"

The Kenshun was getting closer and closer, and the captain of the Varyag had already seen the caliber of the front main gun.

"Damn it! It's the concave millimeter main gun." The captain of the Varyag was shocked. He knew very well that once the Lushun approached the attack, the opponent's two double-equipped concave millimeter main guns could easily penetrate the hull of the Varyag cruiser. Even if a cannon was sunk, it was not impossible!

"You can't let him get close!" There was still a distance between Jinmi Xiao no longer within the range of Russian torpedoes, but the captain of the Varyag could no longer wait. He immediately ordered: "No. 3 and No. 4 torpedoes!"

"Yes! Three-Sheng, No. 4 torpedo!" The communications soldier repeated the captain's order.

Just now, the Varyag suddenly shook violently and a shell hit the top of the ship island.

In an instant, the upper bridge was penetrated, and the shells penetrated through the deck of the three-layer bridge and exploded behind the commander tower. The explosion did not penetrate the commander tower, but the captain Varyag and several bridge staff members were shocked to the ground, which was dizzy. Several people leaning against the back wall of the commander tower fainted on the spot, and blood oozed out of their ears and noses.

The command has not been conveyed yet, and the communication soldier has fainted and cannot pass the command.

Looking at the microphone at a close distance, Captain Varyag hurriedly climbed over and lay on the microphone and shouted: "I am the captain, shoot the No. 3 and No. 4 torpedoes immediately!" The torpedo room replied as the stagnant said! "Yes! Captain! Gu Zhizhao three times, the No. 3 white thunder!"

The Captain Varyag was relieved at this time, and his head became more and more dizzy at this moment, so he had to lean against the wall to rest.

At this moment, the Lushun heavy cruiser was less than four meters away from the Varyag. The Lushun's dual four-mm main gun could be aimed with the naked eye and shot directly at the Varyag.

Dong!

A loud thunder sounded like a muffled thunder. Two concave millimeter shells rushed out of the cannon chamber and shot straight towards the Varyag. In the blink of an eye, they hit the starboard side.

In an instant, two shells easily tore open the side armor belt of the Varyag cruiser. At the same time, in the torpedo room on the center of the starboard starboard Varyag, the torpedo operator was ordered to press the torpedo button. Two torpedoes ignited and were ejected.

However, before the torpedo ejected from the pipe, it happened to hit the two to millimeter shell that penetrated from outside.

With a rumbling bolt from the blue, the entire center of the warship was instantly exploded, as if it was bitten by a giant beast. In an instant, a huge ball of fire rose into the air and rushed into the sky dozens of meters high, and then turned into a black cloud of smoke.

The entire Varyag was suddenly sucked by the traction of the explosion and leaned toward the left for more than 40 degrees. Many Russian soldiers had no time to reflect. The soldiers on the port side outside dripped into the sea, and the people inside were also hit and bleeding, and they all fell into the cabin.

Immediately afterwards, the weight of the Varyag itself made it swing back, and the inertia caused the warship to tilt towards the starboard side. The starboard net was blown up to a huge hole of more than 30 meters and immediately sank into the sea. Then the sea crazily poured back into the warship, and the flames generated by the explosion were suddenly annihilated and thick smoke came out.

The crazy backflow of sea water caused the Varyag to not lift up again and continued to overturn sharply towards the starboard side. In the blink of an eye, it entered the waves that entered the sea. Immediately after the starboard side overturned, the warship lost its balance and buoyancy, and the island of the ship immediately poured into the sea, causing the Varyag to overturn. Finally, the red bottom of the ship was facing the sky, and bubbles kept emitting.

The Varyag capsized, and the cruiser Ascold behind hurriedly turned left to prevent it from hitting Varyag's hull.

At this time, the Lushun was approaching and blocked the direction of the cruiser of the Ascold. At this moment, the Lushun and the Weihaiwei had already successfully penetrated in under the fire of the enemy ships. While blocking the Ascold cruiser's way, they also announced that they had seized its horizontal position.

"fire!"

The port guns of the Lushun and Weihaiwei, who had been ready, immediately opened fire and fired at the cruiser Askold, which was only less than 500 meters apart.

Eight millimeter main guns, old gates, millimeter second-level guns, and a large number of medium and short-range guns, greeted the Ascold cruiser together.

In an instant, countless shells tilted towards the Askold cruiser. The rumbling explosions came one after another, and it was heard endlessly. After a while, the entire Askold cruiser was trapped in a sea of ​​fire. The fragments of the shell explosion splashed everywhere, killing the enemy in large quantities, causing large-scale casualties to the Russian sailors.

At 11:22, Weihaiwei fired the second round of firepower, and the two or four millimeter shells fired by the main gun hit the gun position near the center of the Askold cruiser. Only Tian's millimeter-protected armor was instantly penetrated, and the shells penetrated into the steam engine room below and exploded. The instantaneous high-temperature lamb vapor leaked, which was more lethal and cruel than the explosion. None of the Russian staff in the warship were spared. Suddenly, the Askold cruiser lost its power and became the target ship of the Emperor Qin Navy.

At this time, the Dalian and Dandong had already rushed into the Russian ninth battle team, and successfully interspersed, blocking the warrior and the Kagur cruiser outside, making it impossible for them to reinforce the Askold cruiser.

At 11:25, the third team of the Emperor Qin Navy went around again after a big turn of rotation, and cooperated with the Dalian and Dandong to encircle the Zhuangshi and the Kagur cruiser.

Facing the six heavy cruisers of the Emperor Qin Navy, the two cruisers of the Russian Ninth Army were immediately in danger of danger. The consequences of being beaten are very terrible.

At this moment, two heavy cruisers blocked their way, and it was impossible to reinforce the Askold cruiser. On the contrary, the Dalian and Dandong, which had seized the horizontal position of the Warrior, had a very great threat. Because the Warrior cruiser could not cause fatal damage to the enemy ships at all, unless he had luck and hit the opponent's ammunition depot in one shot.

I couldn't beat it, so I had to run away!

In this regard, the captain of the Cruise of the Kagur was obviously much smarter than the Captain of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise immediately left the formation and turned around and ran away.’ The third team, who had been back after a round of the network, was about to attack the Cruise of the Cruise, but it was found that the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of the Cruise of

"The chess position is four. The elevation angle is 2 meters away!"

"Prepare!, fire!" ""Dongdongdongdongdong!

Two Feilian-class heavy cruisers roared at the same time, and shells roared towards the direction of the escape of the Cangul cruiser. They immediately aroused two straits of water near the Cangul. The Russian officers and soldiers on the Cangul were silent. They knew that the main guns of this team were surprisingly accurate, and they were worried that the next gray could be taken over.

"Left rudder thirty!" Captain Kagur can only order Ji Erzhang to speak before turning left and right. He hopes to avoid the next round of cannons※

"Repair the elements, the orientation remains unchanged, the elevation angle is 6, and the distance occupies a knife meters!"

"Prepare!, fire!"

Within less than thirty seconds, the second round of volleys of Feilian and Longjiang began. The order was issued, and sixteen basic millimeter main guns opened fire in turn, spitting out flames, and the shells almost parallel to fly towards the Craigor cruiser.

Boom boom!

There were another roar, and the Cruiser Kagul almost avoided the dozen shells in front. However, two shells still hit the back of its island. The explosion immediately broke a smoke and white smoke from the back of the island. The scattered smoke filled the entire battleship in an instant. From a distance, it looked like a rooster burning with its butt. However, in this way, the smoke enveloped the Emperor Qin Navy, unable to aim at the target, and the Cruiser Kagul survived and fled the battlefield quickly.

At 11:26, the Lushun and Weihaiwei fired the fifth volley, and several shells hit the starboard waterline belt of the cruiser Askold at the same time. Fierce flames and smoke spewed out from the explosion mouth, and the sea water poured backwards, and the battleship overturned toward the starboard side.

Captain Ascold ordered the warship to pour water on the port side to balance the warship. However, the good times did not last long. Then a four-mm heavy artillery shell directly penetrated the deck near the center and penetrated several layers of steel plates. The ammunition depot exploded below, instantly causing the death of the cruiser Ascold.

A bolt from the blue rumbling, the central ammunition depot of the cruiser Ascold suddenly exploded. The entire battleship was blown into two pieces and sank in an instant.

On this side, after Dalian and Dandong stopped the Warrior, they were attacked by Warrior. The artillery fire on both sides was basically direct fire. The Russian sailors on Warrior seemed to know the consequences they were about to face, but the captain did not order surrender. So they could only fight to the death, kill one enough, kill two to earn one, and earn one. Two double-equipped millimeter main guns on the starboard side, four, blade millimeter single-mounted guns, and a large number of medium and short-range guns, fired at the Dalian.

The two sides were very close to each other, and artillery fire arrived in the blink of an eye. The Dalian was an old heavy cruiser. Except for the main gun, the other second-level artillery and fire cannons were all contoured open-air turrets. Therefore, at such a close distance, the two sides launched nearly hand-to-hand artillery battles and were very serious. However, the Dalian was armored after all, and compared with the casualties on the Zhuangshi cruiser, it was much smaller.

The artillery battle between the two sides was very happy. The cruiser of the Warrior was shot nearly 100 times, almost knocked into a hornet's nest, and the flames were circulating. The smoke of gunpowder was filled with smoke, and the superstructure was almost flattened, but it still did not sink. There were explosions everywhere, and the bodies of the dead soldiers were everywhere, but they seemed to be much harder than the soldiers on other Russian fleets. As long as there were no destroyed artillery, Russian soldiers would be replaced after the cut.

There will be several shells in the command tower of Lushun from time to time. If it weren't for the command tower of Emperor Qin Haijun, all of which had been strengthened with key defenses, wouldn't have been penetrated. "Even so, Lieutenant General Wu Qiang's face was covered in ashes, and his round face looked like a giant panda from a distance.

"Damn it, it's so weird! After getting so many shells, they still haven't been sunk?" Then Ran said: "What's the distance?

Four meters”.

Lieutenant General Wu Qiang nodded and then ordered loudly: "Report from each torpedo room!"

"Yes! Each torpedo room reported the situation!"

A moment later, the correspondent reported: "The number 3 and number 4 underwater torpedo on the rear deck are at the best attack angle!"

Lieutenant General Wu Qiang nodded and ordered: "No. 3 and No. 4 torpedo ready! Set a depth of two meters, and pass the Witch Festival!"

"Yes! Two meters deep, thirty-five sections! No. 3 and No. 4 torpedo prepared!"

"The No. 3 Xiaodeng Torpedo is ready, will it be fired?"

Lieutenant General Wu Qiang ordered: "Cheer!"

"Yes! No. 3 and No. 4 torpedo!"

The order was issued, and the underwater torpedo on the rear deck of the Lushun deck was successfully fired. Lieutenant General Wu Qiang immediately picked up the telescope and looked at the enemy ship.

Fifteen seconds later, two violent explosions suddenly occurred near the central waterline of the starboard side of the cruiser. Huge water column rushed up and went straight to the sky more than ten meters high. After the explosion, two huge black holes were seen crazily devouring the sea water. The cruiser, the cruiser, swung violently on the left and right a few times, quickly capsized towards the starboard side.

The original strength joint degree suddenly dropped to ten cents at this moment, and it was still decreasing, and the entire warship was slowly sinking.

At this time, the third team of the Emperor Qin Navy, located two thousand meters away on the left side of the Zhuangshi, did not see the torpedo attack on the other side. So Lieutenant General Yi Suifeng ordered the fire at the Zhuangshi.

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

Two Wangshu-class heavy cruisers were once again powerful, and the eighteen-millimeter shells swept across the sea level and hit the body of the Warrior, exploding with a bang. The flames produced by the explosion seemed particularly dazzling under the dim sky. Then a row of neat mushroom clouds rose up and turned into a large piece of thick smoke and spread into the air, making the originally dim sky darker.

The Zhuangshi cruiser was hit by two torpedoes, and the sank was already very fast, but now it was fired by the Wangshu and Feilian. The entire warship was suddenly beaten to pieces, shattered and sank quickly.
