The Fuso was severely damaged, and the most anxious one was the battleship Kongo. Originally, the two warships attacked together, and their mission was to jointly hold back the Chinese warship, and then wait for the Olu to arrive. Now they have received a telegram from the Olu.
There is only an hour to go from here, but the Fuso has been disabled, and it seems that it will not last for an hour at all.
If the Olu hadn't arrived before the Japanese warship sank first, it would have been very lively, just like when the fish ate the bait while fishing, and then left calmly, it was like a slap in the face of Japan.
With one mouth, you can hit the moon and make stars fly.
You must know that this is not a simple bait, but a 30,000-ton giant ship. It is a sea monster piled up with money. The Qing has been hit by ten shells, and the entire warship is dilapidated. The Qing looks scarred.
Tired, in fact, it did not affect the combat effectiveness much. Only one turret was blasted away, which weakened the firepower, but the ship still fought tenaciously with the King Kong.
On the contrary, the King Kong only received five or six artillery shells, and the caliber of the shells was only 280 mm, but it caused serious damage to the King Kong. One shot was hit below the waterline on the ship's side, which had already opened a hole in the armor, and the seawater
The constant influx of ships began to tilt the entire warship, which even affected the stability, making aiming much more difficult. In addition, the bow and stern of the ship were hit by shells, and the black wounds seemed to mock the Japanese navy.
Generally speaking, this level of defense is indeed too weak. The Qing only has three complete turrets left, and its firepower is twice as weak. Captain Shen Honglie has beads of sweat all over his forehead at this time. He knows very well.
I know that the situation on the battlefield has become very clear now. If the Fuso and the Qing cannot support the Guangxi, the Guangxi will be attacked by the King Kong and the Fuso. At that time, the outcome will be difficult to predict.
Shen Honglie can be regarded as a figure in the original modern history. He was a scholar in the Qing Dynasty. He went to Japan to study the navy and later became the founder of the Northeast Navy. He was the confidant of Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xueliang and his son.
In today's historical time and space, although Zhang Zuolin has a respected status, Bi Jing did not become the king of the Northeast, and naturally did not have the opportunity to recruit subordinates. However, Shen Honglie entered the Sichuan Navy and is now the captain of the Chong Qing.
A promising recruit in the Navy.
Qiao Yu has a philosophy, that is, if you can be an apprentice, you should not be a disciple. Therefore, most of the generals of the Chinese Navy went to Europe to study. Especially during World War I, China sent a considerable number of officers to the United Kingdom for internships, and even directly participated in Ridland
After the naval battle and the deterioration of Sino-British relations, Qiao Yu hired some German officers.
Therefore, there are not many people in the entire navy who have the background of studying in Japan. Shen Honglie is a very special example. However, precisely because he went to study in Japan, Shen Honglie has a deeper understanding of this island country's madness for the navy. At the same time, he also has a deep understanding of China's
Maritime forces are worried.
When will the majestic China truly go to the ocean?
Shen Honglie once despaired of Japan's giant ships, and he didn't even dare to think that the Chinese navy would catch up. However, in just a few years, China had its own capital ships, and aircraft carriers and battleships were being built.
Among them, the navy finally saw hope, and Shen Honglie even went crazy with joy.
When he was resting in Qinzhou, Shen Honglie would go back to the shipyard whenever he had nothing to do. As long as he saw the warships under construction, he would forget all his worries, as if the cold steel could bring him great comfort.
It was precisely because he devoted all his feelings to the navy that Shen Honglie understood the importance of this naval battle. For the Chinese Navy, it has not truly completed its rebirth. Like the Beiyang Navy back then, the capital ships currently in service in the Chinese Navy are all modified Since then, not one of them has been produced by China itself, and the navy has just matured. What China needs most now is victory.
Even if we have to win at all costs, only victory can give the new Chinese Navy the courage to face any great power, and the Chinese Navy can truly safeguard China's maritime interests. Without being tempered by the flames of war, the Navy will never Become a sharp sword to defend the navy. This new battle is too important for the Chinese navy!
"Convey my order to everyone, the time has come to sacrifice their lives and serve the country. Everyone must stick to their fighting positions and maintain their determination to die. There must be no fear!" On the & Qing, seawater also began to pour into the ship. !& Qing's two shells also hit the middle of the King Kong. The horizontal armor of the King Kong was only 37 mm thick, which was too weak for a warship of nearly 30,000 tons.
Moreover, it had been hit by artillery shells before. The deck had been deformed and its defense capability was even lower. Two artillery shells penetrated the deck and entered the interior of the King Kong. A violent explosion sounded instantly. This kind of explosion The sound is different from the previous sound, it seems louder and more shocking.
Just when the explosion ended, there was another thunderous sound inside the King Kong, which spread rapidly from the middle of the ship. The Japanese soldiers who were closer were all embarrassed and fell down by the violent vibration. There are impact scars all over the top and bottom, and the continuous thunder-like explosions can almost cause internal injuries!
It turned out that these two shells successfully penetrated the horizontal armor, hit the ammunition compartment, and detonated all the shells stored in the ammunition compartment, resulting in a terrifying explosion. The entire King Kong seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. It was shaking up and down above the sea surface.
Then there was the sound of steel breaking in the middle, and the giant ship that dominated the sea finally showed its fragile side. A terrifying fracture appeared on the warship. Soon the King Kong broke into two pieces and sank quickly into the sea.
Seeing this scene, Shen Honglie was almost speechless in surprise. He had actually made up his mind to fight against the King Kong. He knew very well that no matter the tonnage, firepower, or speed, the Chong Qing and King Kong The USS No. 1 is not at the same level at all. What is even more terrible is that the quality of the Chinese navy cannot be compared with the Japanese combined fleet, which has experienced many battles. This can be seen from the artillery hit rate of both sides. Land battles often appear to be weak. It's a situation where you can win against a strong enemy, but it's very difficult to achieve in a naval battle.
The navy is known as a high-tech branch. In fact, the competition is based on industrial capabilities and the military quality of its recruits. Those with smaller tonnage cannot beat those with larger tonnage. Those with strong firepower can bully those with weak firepower. Basically, there is not much luck.
For example, in the famous Battle of Midway in later generations, the US military also used three aircraft carriers to fight against the USS Qing. All the Chinese soldiers on the USS Qing were stunned, and almost no one could believe that this was true.
But they don't have much time to be surprised. The Fuso has not been sunk yet, and the seaplanes sent out have detected traces of the Olu. In other words, if China does not sink the Fuso as soon as possible, it will
We have to face the big guy of the Olu. The Qing is scarred, and even if it is in good condition, it does not dare to fight the Olu. Therefore, the most ideal thing now is to sink the Fuso as soon as possible, and then retreat at full speed to avoid the edge.
At this time, the Fuso was already under attack from the Guangxi. The superstructure was completely destroyed and the entire warship was shrouded in fire. Only sporadic secondary guns were still firing back, which showed that the Qing was able to sink the battleship King Kong.
Tang Xiangming was also surprised. It seemed that Lao Yao had the foresight and finally stood on the side of China. Tang Xiangming also knew that time was running out. If the Aolu arrived, his situation would be in danger, so he hurriedly ordered the Guangxi and Chong Qing.
The ship fired torpedoes together, and a total of eight torpedoes were fired, sending the Fuso, which was struggling to its death, into the bottom of the sea.
The Chinese Navy wiped out two Japanese battleships in two against two, which is something worthy of celebration in any case. However, such a record was also obtained with the blood of soldiers. Both warships were scarred. The Chong Qing had
One-third of the soldiers were casualties, and more than 200 soldiers on the Guangxi died in combat positions.
However, the Aolu was about to arrive, and Tang Xiangming hurriedly commanded the two warships to retreat. At this moment, Chen Shaokuan's telegram also came over. It turned out that the Chinese aircraft carrier formation had already arrived, and it was only 230 kilometers away from the battle site.
, Chen Shaokuan also learned about the attack of the Olu, and Chen Shaokuan had a strong interest in such a giant ship that could be called the symbol of the Japanese navy.
Sending the Olu to the seabed is of great significance for changing the balance of strength between China and Japan. Therefore, Chen Shaokuan gave Tang Xiangming the task of luring the enemy. They should try their best to attract the Olu to the aircraft carrier formation, and then China would rely on its powerful
Naval aviation sank the Oulu.
The Qidian, Chaoyong and Yangwei combined have a total of 130 carrier-based aircraft of various types, and they are very confident about sinking the Aulu.
Although Tang Xiangming was a little confused about the aircraft carrier fleet dispatching in full force, didn't the coastal areas need protection? However, he also knew that this was a time of war, and it was not a matter of personal gain. He had to obey orders, and Tang Xiangming was extremely excited at this time. If
If the Olu can really be sunk, the strength of the Chinese and Japanese navies will immediately reverse, and the moment of pride has arrived!
