- The two sides fought and opened fire. In just three rounds of shelling, the East China Sea Fleet sent the cruiser Kurama into the abyss of hell. The atmosphere on the battlefield immediately changed subtly. The morale of the officers and soldiers of the East China Sea Fleet increased. They drove the warships as fast as arrows, and their attacks became decisive and powerful! As for the combined fleet, the originally menacing formation seemed to be fleeing in a hurry under this shock.
Of course, no one will actually run away!
It¡¯s just that the instinctive will to fight has declined, and the tactical actions performed by the ship have been slightly deformed!
But just such a small change made it seem like the strategic posture of both sides was changing on the battlefield. The Japanese cruisers that originally rushed forward to attack the battleships were now running away, looking more like fleeing for their lives. They were facing three battleships blocking the way, and behind them, the ones on the north and south wings had already inserted themselves between the cruiser detachment and the battleship detachment of the combined fleet. The smaller size of the two East China Sea Fleet light cruisers suddenly became ferocious at this moment!
Their formation turned out to be in an arc shape, surrounding the rear of the cruiser detachment and passing through it, forming the two most perfect T-shaped bombardment positions for the two Asama and Joban at the rear of the cruiser.
On the command tower of the Satsuma at the back, Togo Heihachiro saw this scene and put down his telescope with a gloomy expression. At this moment, he is less than eight thousand meters away from here, but the battleship's main gun is still out of reach! At this distance, artillery fire at a high-speed battleship like a cruiser is like hitting the air and has no effect at all!
He could only watch helplessly as the light cruisers of the East China Sea Fleet, Wutaishan, Putuoshan, Lushan, Wuyishan each battleship sailed past the top of the T-shaped formation at a speed of more than 20 knots. From a distance of three thousand meters, they launched a bombardment on the tails of the two cruisers Asama and Joban!
The main gun on the Wutaishan-class light cruiser, the Empire's Thor series 155MM twin automatic naval guns, is showing its power at this moment! In a few minutes, eight light cruisers crossed each other and fired more than 500 rounds of artillery shells at the enemy ships. There were a total of 48 main guns on the eight warships. On average, each shot passed the optimal firing position at the moment. All reached high speeds of more than fifteen rounds per minute.
Hundreds of artillery shells were fired, and at this moment, a covering effect like raindrops was formed, and a critical hit was formed in an instant! In an instant, the entire sea surface formed a blazing hell of thousands of square meters. Asama and Joban, two first-class armored cruisers built by Japan after the Sino-Japanese War of 1884-1894, suddenly burst into flames under the heavy fire.
In the dim light of dusk, they turned into two soaring torches, and the ship's hull was completely hidden in a blazing flame. Then, the second wave of armor-piercing bombs was bombarded. Just a few minutes later, a violent explosion sounded. The wreckage of the ship soared into the sky and flew hundreds of meters away. The two ships formed separate formations on the sea. A huge whirlpool disappeared!
¡¡
"Turn right and prepare toretreat!" Togo Heihachiro opened his mouth wide and looked at everything that happened in front of the telescope a few kilometers away. His mind went through countless circles in an instant. After the violent psychological fluctuations, he quickly Like Uemura, the right decision was made!
Retreat!
These two words were shouted with difficulty from the mouth of the Imperial Navy God of War Togo Heihachiro.
In the blink of an eye, everyone in the command tower was shocked!
"Retreat, or it's called turning in, or something else. In short, we must escape immediately. This is a trap, a trap aimed at the Imperial Navy" Dongxiang finally couldn't hold on to the sails of the always elegant and famous general, and became furious. shouted in the command tower.
"The enemy's warships are definitely not powerful in this world. The empire is definitely not an opponent in frontal combat. For the sake of the empire, please obey my order. We must retreat from this sea area now!" At the last two words, Dongxiang's voice slowly paused, and his face suddenly deformed violently, as if he had encountered something extremely frightening, and he quickly put the telescope in his hand to his eyes.
In the distance, the enemy's three battleships were passing through a formation of cruisers without any scruples, chasing straight towards this side, and the distance between them was rapidly closing. At this speed?
Dongxiang¡¯s brain is calculating rapidly, twenty-fourth day? Twenty-sixth day? Twenty-eighth Festival? oh! No, it has accelerated to more than thirty knots!
Dongxiang's brain seemed to have crashed, and he couldn't turn around for a long time, and then his face lost its bright red color in an instant and turned into a dead gray color - it was too late! It¡¯s over! The enemy's battleship turned out to be advancing at a high speed like a cruiser, and now the distance between it and the two armies was only more than 10,000 meters!
This unscientific!
Dongxiang roared in despair!
¡¡
The disappearance of the Asama and Joban kicked off the massacre of the Japanese armored cruiser squadron by the East China Sea Fleet's light cruiser squadron. The previously petite body now became extremely flexible. As a group of four ships, they shuttled across the sea at a high speed of more than 30 knots, keenly seizing one target after another and firing a barrage of artillery fire. In the blink of an eye, the opponent was sent to the deep sea hell.
Just ten minutes later, the Yakumo and Azuma among the Japanese cruisers were hit by the imperial light cruiser one after another. The Azuma sank on the spot, while the Yakumo had a huge fire on the deck, with faint flames on it. You can see several burning people running around screaming, looking extremely miserable in the dark sky!
The Japanese cruiser detachment, twelve first-class armored cruisers, has lost five at this moment, and all of them were under the deadly firepower of Japan. They were sunk in an instant, leaving no room for struggle. Such a naval battle has been separated from the battle. The scope is completely one-sided massacre!
The navy of the Chinese Empire launched a full-scale counterattack at this moment. The cruisers were massacring the enemy cruisers wantonly, and the battleship squadron also turned aside from the battle area of ??the melee cruisers and began to advance at high speed in the stormy waves, directly towards the battleships of the combined fleet.
¡¡
On the Qin Shihuang, Imperial Navy Minister Sa Zhenbing¡¯s old face was no longer smiling at all. As soon as the battle started, our side achieved a good record. These young men in the navy really held on. The pressure completely brought out our own huge tactical advantage. At this moment, the situation between the two sides was reversed. The outnumbered Imperial East China Sea Fleet actually completely massacred the opponent!
"Haha! Dongxiang finally realized something was wrong, look! His flagship is turning, no, they are going to escape!"
"No, they can't escape!" The battle was going extremely smoothly. Even Zhou Yu, who had a stern face beforehand, also broke out into a smile. "Our top speed exceeds theirs by at least ten knots. Once we enter this distance, the enemy has no way out. Escaped!"
"But" Sa Zhenbing looked up at the sky. At this time, the sky had turned dark. On the sea, it was already a situation of high winds and rough waves. The vision of both sides became increasingly blurred. Under such circumstances, I Can we catch up?
The answer is, you can definitely catch up. In the few minutes it took for the battleship squadron of the Japanese combined fleet to turn around, the Qin Shihuang and its two brother ships rushed seven or eight kilometers through the giant ship at an incredible high speed, and were away from the rear of the opponent's battleship fleet. , the original flagship Satsuma was less than six kilometers away. For the battleship's main gun, this is already an extremely dangerous distance!
"However, the Qin Shihuang did not fire its guns,
"Our goal is to annihilate them all, not just to leave behind the enemy's flagship, but to catch up first!" Zhou Yu usually seemed to have an indescribable elegance in every move he made, but at this time, his tone sounded But no matter what, it has an extremely ferocious smell.
The three Emperor-class battleships, with a high speed of more than 30 knots, exceeded the opponent's maximum speed by at least ten knots. Every minute that passed meant that the distance between the enemy and the enemy was shortened by more than 300 meters. The enemy battleship's escape journey , it seems a bit too long no matter how you look at it.
¡¡
It got dark quickly. After raging for dozens of minutes, the sea storm turned calm. There was no longer the roar of the stormy waves. Even the ongoing naval battle became silent. The battle between the chasing and the chased, from the face-to-face fight under the blue sky and white sun. , turned into a silent hunt in the dark.
In the dim night light, only a few Japanese cruisers lit by artillery fire looked a bit awkward. The fires ignited on the sea made the surrounding sea area transparent. In this case, they were simply living targets for the concentrated artillery fire. It was tragic. It was hit by continuous shelling one after another, and slowly sank into the sea.
The Japanese cruisers that had fled in a hurry now have only four left, Tsukuba, Ikoma, and Ibuki. The three new cruisers survived by virtue of their relatively high speed among their own ships, while the other one survived. It makes people feel a little strange that the battleship is actually a modified ship that has no advantages in all aspects. The original Russian battleship Bayan is now named - Asu!
The naval officers and soldiers on each ship finally felt a sense of security under the cover of night. In the night, both sides stopped at high speed, and the fleet tried to sneak silently, heading north under the cover of night, and escaping along the coastline. Chase.
But this struggle is in vain. Just as the Tsukuba and other ships were cruising at low speed and secretly trying to head north, suddenly a group of four or five light cruisers rushed over from the side. They were met with a barrage of gunfire in the dark night, at high speed in the dark night.The passing ballistics were clearly visible, concentrating on the Tsukuba like countless meteors. The poor Tsukuba didn't even react, and was lit into a torch. The exploded hull looked particularly bright in the night. The Ikoma and Ibuki horns not far away were reflected.
Bagg!
The Japanese on each ship suddenly realized that the Chinese warships even had night vision combat capabilities! At this moment, everyone was stunned. How could anyone fight this battle?
