(Thanks to the book friend for commanding the gun for the reward!)
"Your Excellency Commander, please transfer immediately. The Shikishima Shikishima was seriously injured and is no longer suitable as a flagship!" Major General Sushima Shikishima Chief of Staff said anxiously. In this round of attack on the "China"
In the meantime, the Shikishima was severely damaged, losing its front main gun, and its firepower was reduced by half. At the same time, the rapid disappearance of power caused the Shikishima speed to begin to drop sharply. The Shikishima speed to decrease rapidly.
, it must withdraw from the battle line, and at the same time, it will inevitably become the target of the Chinese Navy. This will eventually cause the "Fujima" to sink soon.
Togo Heihachiro looked at the "Fujima" in lingeringly and nodded. He did not stubbornly choose to live with the ship. This is the captain's business. He is the commander of the fleet and has to lead the battle of the entire fleet.
Togo Hirahachiro and Samami Junji, with a few staff members, got off the traffic boat that had been prepared and headed to the battleship "Ryukao". Although the performance of the battleship "Ryukao" is not as good as the "Shijima-class" battleship
, but the battleship "Ryuki" is the only battleship that has not been damaged now. The battleship "Asakura" in front also lost a main gun, reducing its firepower by half.
Soon, the flagship flag of the Ryutsuka rose up, while the flagship flag of the Shikishima lowered. At this time, the speed of the Shikishima had dropped to only about 8 knots, and it was still
While continuing to descend, the Japanese fleet's battle line chose to bypass the "Shijima" and instead started with the "Asakhijima".
"Order the 'Shenzhou' number to stay and sink the 'Fujima' number. The battle below is the 'China' number to the 'Asakura' number, the 'Yanhuang' number to the 'Rongxiang' number, the 'Huaxia' number to the 'Feiqian' number.
." Deng Shichang, commander of the Chinese Navy's local fleet, issued an order. Although the "Fujima" suffered a severe blow, as long as it has not sunk and can continue to fire, it will still have a threat to the Chinese fleet. Only by sinking it or capturing it,
This is the end of the battle.
After Deng Shichang's order was issued, the "Shenzhou" slowed down, turned right and turned out of the battle line, aiming the four dual main guns on the battleship at the "Fujima" battleship, which was decreasing.
The navy's artillery attacks are much easier to deal with slow or even static battleships than those sailing at high speed. Using the "Shenzhou" to deal with the "Fujima" is even more powerful.
At 10:45, the Shenzhou number issued its first volley on the Shikijima. Although this time the shelling did not hit the target directly, the 8 shells were not far from the Shikijima.
If you go on, it will probably not take long before you will be able to hit it again.
At this moment, the "Fujima" number seemed to be like an old man who had reached the end of his life, staggering. However, even at this time, the "Fujima" number continued to fire. The main gun on the rear deck was still in full swing.
At a speed of three minutes, firepower poured into the "Shenzhou". At the same time, the 152mm single-installed gun on the left also opened fire. However, because the "Shenzhou" has always been kept at 10,000 meters away.
The fire made the counterattack of the Fujima so weak. The main gun shell could not hit the Shenzhou number at all. The 152mm single-installed gun was completely posed no threat to the Shenzhou number. The Shenzhou number
The thick armor can easily resist this kind of shelling.
At 10:55, after the "Shenzhou" was calibrated, the third round of artillery began. This time, it achieved very good results. A shell was in the bridge of the "Shishima" and the "Shishima"
The bridge armor is more than 200 mm thick, but it still cannot stop the 305 mm armor-piercing shell. The shells penetrated the armor of the bridge and exploded, causing the entire bridge to become a mess. Including the captain
All the more than ten officers were killed or injured in the explosion. This made the "Fujima" lose command.
At 11:02, the speed of the 'Qijima' dropped to only five quarters, which was easier for the 'Shenzhou'. In the 6th round of volley, this time it was completely necessary.
The life of Shikishima. A 305mm shell cut the front deck armor of Shikishima and hit the ammunition depot of the front main gun. The shell exploded, and dozens of shells inside also died.
Explosion. A violent explosion blew the "Fujima" into two pieces, and in less than a minute, it sank into the sea.
"Commander, the 'Fujima' has sunk!" Major General Sushima Shinji reported.
"Continue to fight!" Hirahachiro Togo said expressionlessly. As early as the moment he left the Fujishima, he had already guessed the fate of the Fujishima. The sinking of the most flagship Fujishima.
, which completely put the Japanese fleet at a disadvantage, and at the same time, it had a great impact on morale. A desperate feeling spread throughout the Japanese fleet. They seemed to have realized that this time they might have to be really
He was loyal to the Emperor.
"Commander, the 'Shenzhou' requested to rejoin the battle line!" The staff officer reported to Deng Shichang. The 'Fudao' was sunk, which made the Chinese Navy even more morale.
"Agree! Let the Shenzhou number go to the front of the battle line and attack the Asahi number with the "China"!" Deng Shichang's face was filled with a smile. Now, the Chinese Navy's losses are very minor.
Sinking a battleship of the Japanese fleet, and sinking the remaining three will not be difficult! I have to admit that the 'Chinese-class' battleships are no longer on the same level as the Japanese battleships.
.This is like using a big sword and spear to fight against a musket, and it is not in the same era at all.
When the "Shenzhou" hit the "Fujima" and the "Feiqian" had already achieved successive results. The "Rongxiang" and "Feiqian" were each hit once, but the injuries were not fatal.'
The China-China was also hit once. It was the former main turret. However, the main gun of the China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China-China
The defense is equivalent to 317.5mm composite armor or 406mm cooked iron armor. The front main gun of the "China" was hit and was not penetrated, but the gunner inside was shocked to death, and several soldiers on the deck were
It was just a blow-out. After the backup gunner entered the turret, it started firing again. This made the Japanese Navy very depressed.
The battle between the heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy and the armored cruisers of the Japanese Navy was even more intense. During the period when the Shikishima was sunk, in addition to the Ishimi, who was sunk at the beginning, the Japanese Navy's
Another armored cruiser was sunk, and the other was severely damaged, and most of the remaining three were injured. This time, the sunk armored cruiser, the "Zhou Fan", was sunk. After the "Ishimi" sinking, the "Zhou Fan"
The number was jointly attacked by the Shanghai and Nanjing. It was soon shot and caught fire. At 10:58, it was hit by the Nanjing and the main gun, not only the main gun was given to the
The bombing also caused the destruction of ammunition, causing the entire stern of the 'Zhou Fang' to be blown up. A large amount of sea water poured into it, flooding the power compartment, which made the 'Zhou Fang' lose its power. At the same time,
Because the sea water entering was getting more and more, the head of the "Zhou Fang" was raised high. In less than two minutes, the armored cruiser weighing more than 8,000 tons sank into the sea and stayed on the sea
The next huge spiral nest swallowed everything around. This made the hundreds of officers and soldiers on the "Zhou Fang" successfully escape, and all of them were buried under the sea with the warship. Of course, the captain of the "Zhou Fang" was originally
So I chose to sink with the ship.
The seriously injured armored cruiser was the "Danou". The "Danou" who was besieged by the "Beijing" and "Tianjin" performed very bravely. He hit the target in a shelling at 10:40.
The rear deck of the Beijing USS Beijing killed more than a dozen sailors on the deck. At the same time, they also destroyed the rear main gun of the Beijing USS Beijing, causing the Beijing USS Beijing to lose half of its firepower. However, it is good
The fortune ended here. In the subsequent battle, the Danhou was hit by the "Tianjin" and the "Beijing" one after another, the main mast was blown off, and the superstructure was almost flattened. Then, the tail of the ship was
The servo was blown off. This caused the Danou to suffer serious trauma and had to withdraw from the battle line. However, at this time, the destroyers of the Chinese Navy, which had already been eyeing each other, rushed forward.
Preparing to launch a fatal blow to the Tango. Several destroyers of the Japanese fleet, guarding around the Tango, wanted to protect the severely damaged warship. However, in the Chinese Navy's light cruiser
Under suppression, it is impossible to stop it.
At 11:30, three Chinese Navy destroyers rushed to a place less than a thousand meters away from the Danhou and fired 6 torpedoes, rushing towards the Danhou in a fan shape.
The Japanese sailors on the Tanko' felt the crisis and quickly bombarded with the secondary guns on the warships, hoping to sink the torpedo. However, all this was futile.
The 6 torpedoes are all 450mm medium torpedoes. It may be a bit difficult to deal with guys with thick skin like battleships, but there is no problem with dealing with thin-skinned warships like armored cruisers. Among the 6 torpedoes, there are three.
Except for the missing shot, the other three hit the "Danhou". The current "Danhou" number has the speed of the servo was knocked out and the speed dropped sharply, so it was impossible to effectively dodge it.
Three torpedoes hit the head of the "Danhou" and the ship. Among them, the ship was hit by two torpedoes. In the violent explosion, the "Danhou" was directly bombed into three parts.
It soon sank into the sea. The hundreds of Japanese soldiers on the warship, except for a few people who escaped, all sank into the seabed.
