Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

After the semaphore soldiers transmitted the order to the ships through the semaphore, "Chengfeng" and "Break the Wave" suddenly accelerated and turned around to the Japanese fleet from the left and right.And "Long Victory", "Unbeaten", "Daqing No. [-]" and "Daqing No. [-]" also increased their horsepower and rushed towards the Japanese fleet.

The remaining five cruisers "Yangfan", "Sea Lion", "Flying Eagle", "Nanji", and "Nanxiang" also quickly inserted into the left and right wings of the Japanese fleet.Taking advantage of the large number of side string secondary guns of the cruiser itself, it violently bombed the gunboats and torpedo ships of the Japanese fleet.

The "V" formation of the Japanese fleet was easily dispersed by the impact of the Qing fleet.The cruisers "Takachiho", "Akitsusu" and "Naniwa" on the left and right wings were besieged by seven cruisers of the Qing Dynasty. When the artillery fire was completely suppressed, they suddenly accelerated and broke away from the team and rushed forward.Avoided the violent bombing of 42 auxiliary guns from seven cruisers in the Qing Dynasty.

This is exactly what Yan Fu wanted, because the number of fleets was at a disadvantage.Therefore, a one-on-one contest is definitely not an advantage. After driving away the most characteristic Japanese cruiser, the seven cruisers of the Qing Dynasty did not pursue them.

"Kyushu", "Yamato", "Musashi" and "Katsushiro" just wanted to drive off the cruiser of the Qing Dynasty, but they were entangled by "Changsheng", "Invincible", "Daqing No. [-]" and "Daqing No. [-]" Living.

"boom……"

The main gun of "Daqing No. 40" made a terrifying sound again, and a [-]-kilogram shell drew a beautiful arc and accurately found the "Fuso" hiding behind "Yamato".

It exploded on the deck of the "Fuso", although it did not cause much damage to the warship itself due to the long distance.But for the soldiers working on the deck, the explosion was devastating. Such a huge explosion directly took away more than 20 Japanese soldiers who were carrying sandbags and installing fire extinguishing pipes.

In the entire tactical system of outflanking, the seven cruisers of the Qing Dynasty were all guerrilla warships.Use super fast speed to evade the opponent's main warships, and specifically attack the gunboats and torpedo ships that fall behind in the formation.

As long as you keep a distance of about 3000 meters from the torpedo ship, facing the torpedo with a speed of only 80 kilometers per hour at the time, the Qing cruiser with a speed of more than 18 knots can easily avoid it.And the 3000-meter distance of both the main gun and the auxiliary gun is within the effective range of the Qing cruiser, so the five cruisers "Chengfeng", "Break the Wave", "Flying Eagle", "Sea Lion", and "Sail" detoured After arriving at the rear of the Japanese fleet, it was as easy as a fish in water to deal with nearly 10 Japanese gunboats and torpedo ships.

However, the two cruisers "Nanji" and "Nanxiang" purchased from Germany before the Sino-French War had a speed of only 13 knots, although the French designer added a power steam engine after removing the invalid steel plates.The speed can reach 15.5 knots, but it is still quite slow in today's naval battles. After all, Japan's four main battleships all have a speed of 16 knots.

"Yamato" and "Musashi" easily intercepted "Nanji" and "Nanxiang".They frantically poured shells at the two flat armored cruisers "Nanji" and "Nanxiang".Although they are German cruisers, "Nanji" and "Nanxiang" are quite good defensive capabilities among cruisers of the same tonnage at the same time, but how can the second ship with a displacement of less than [-] resist the [-]-ton "Yamato" and "Musashi" "Number.

The pear-like auxiliary turret on the front deck of the "Yamato" fired a 234mm shell, which penetrated directly into the ammunition depot of the "Nanji" which was only protected by a thin hull, triggering a terrible red flame.The huge explosion directly blasted the entire battleship, and the explosion fragments with red flames scattered all over the place, forming a beautiful and spectacular festive fireworks.The "Nanji", which was buried for this firework, broke in two and sank quickly.

Seeing the tragedy of the "Nanji", Zhou Zhan, the leader of the "Nanxiang", tried to speed up and leave the range of the Japanese [-]-ton giant fleet, but he seemed to ignore the three cruisers "Takachiho", "Akitsusu", and "Namiwa". Terrible speed.With a high speed, you can avoid battles that are not good for you, seize a suitable offensive position in a big battle, and be able to complete the pursuit mission.In history, many German warships did not lose to British warships on the battlefield, but fell into the sand on the way to retreat. This fate happened again.

How could the "Nanxiang" with a speed of only 15.5 knots escape the "Akitsusu" and "Namiwa" with a speed of 26 or 24 knots after rushing forward to escape the cruiser of the Qing Dynasty?

"Boom, boom..."

It’s really just leaving the tiger’s mouth and entering the wolf’s den. It’s hard to leave the range of the main guns of "Yamato" and "Musashi", and the Japanese battleship happened to be entangled by "Daqing [-]" and "Daqing [-]".

I thought I could go forward and ravage the Japanese gunboats, but on the right side of "Nanxiang", there were two cruisers "Akitsusu" and "Naniwa" that had just left.

The gunfire just now was fired from the main guns of their two cruisers...

Competing in East Asia Chapter 143 Bloody Battle in the Sea of ​​Japan ([-])

Two bombs hit the "Nanxiang" guardrail steel plate and the stern respectively, although they did not cause much damage.But this signal is very obvious-"Nanxiang" has been targeted by two Japanese cruisers, and it is impossible to escape.Only bite the bullet and attack, hoping that my defense can last until the arrival of the rescue warship.

"Right full rudder, use the main gun to attack, and sandbags to cover the sides of the sidestring secondary gun. Zhang Biao, go and connect the fire extinguishing hose and put it on the deck. Be ready to put out the fire at any time. Give me the door of the ammunition depot. The lock is tight, close the door for me after moving the ammunition, don't make me trouble, one shell will destroy it all." Zhou Zhan responded quickly.

"boom……"

Under Zhou Zhan's command, the "Nanxiang" also started to fight back.A shell fell into the middle of the two ships "Akitsusu" and "Naniwa" and set off a jet of water.

In front of the high-speed cruiser, the shooting that was not very accurate is now even more unbearable.

"Damn it, what the hell is the gunner doing? Which Japanese warship is he hitting? It's too shameful to land in the middle of the two ships. Aim for me and hit hard." Zhou Zhan in the observation room I started to scold my mother in a hurry.

"Yes." A communications soldier turned and left.

At this time, the other warships of both sides were also intertwined. In an instant, hundreds of guns from each ship on both sides were fired in full bloom, the smoke filled the air, and the sea water boiled.

"Nanxiang" shook violently again, and it was obvious that it had been shot again.Zhou Zhan, who was in the observation room, didn't pay attention to the shaking at first, and was still observing the movements of the two cruisers "Akitsusu" and "Namiwa" through the telescope.

"Damn, why did the artillery fire stop? Tell him to aim at the point and fire again, not to let them stop shooting if they can't aim!" Zhou Zhan suddenly found out why his warship hadn't fired shells for a long time.

"It's not good, Zhou Guandai, the bow of the warship was shot, and a shell pierced through the top deck of the first floor, destroying the ammunition delivery device used to lift the ammunition from the main ammunition depot in the first floor, and stand by nearby to fight the fire at any time Four soldiers of the damage control died on the spot." The communications soldier with a face full of black smoke rushed in and told Zhou Zhan the bad news.

Because at the beginning, Zhou Zhan suffered a devastating blow in order to avoid showing his side strings in front of his opponents.So it has been facing the enemy ship head-on, and now the only main gun bomb delivery device on the bow has been destroyed.This really becomes a "dumb" ship that cannot be attacked.

"Ask someone to move it? Damn this is going to be reported? Is everyone dead? If there is no bomb carrier, don't you need to fire?" Zhou Zhanming knows that there is not enough manpower now, but other than doing this, he really wants to become a dumb ship up.

"Yes."

The "Nanxiang" was unable to find the rhythm of the battle for quite a long time after the main gun ammunition delivery device was destroyed.The staffing on the warship was disrupted first. In order to keep the main gun firing, a large number of people kept transporting ammunition from the first floor to the second floor.Then everyone had to hide far away when firing. The recoil of the 190mm main gun is quite amazing. Those soldiers standing near the original bomb delivery device may be accidentally injured.So they had to dodge every time a shot was fired.

In this way, "Nanxiang" fired one cannon after another, and the terrible hit rate made this cruiser with no characteristics except defense always play a dispensable role in this naval battle.

However, although there are no bright spots in the offensive, they still insist on entanglement with the two most powerful cruisers in Japan, "Akitsusu" and "Naniwa".At a distance of 5000 meters, the two Japanese cruisers have hit no less than 20 shells.But "Nanxiang" has no problems at all, except for the slower speed than before, other places are the same as before it was not shot.

"What a jellyfish, the German warship's escort capability is really extraordinary." Captain Akitsuzu Riichiro Komitsu said to himself.

"General, it's better to get closer and use the main gun to deal with him directly." A staff officer suggested.

Liichiro Xiaoman thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Don't look at the horror of the low hit rate of the warship opposite, but if it is hit by his 190mm main gun at close range, it will be over."

"Yes, General. But the gunboats in the rear need our reinforcements. Look..." the staff officer said worriedly.

"Let Naniwa and Takachiho go for reinforcements, and this German Class A cruiser will be handed over to me." Koman Riichiro seemed full of interest in sinking a German cruiser.

"Roms."

The flames of war have been burning continuously in the Sea of ​​Japan for an hour, and the whole sea seems to be boiling due to the fierce war between the two sides.Daqing No. [-], Daqing No. [-], Yamato and Musashi are equal opponents, and they are inseparable.However, Changsheng and Unbeaten are quite difficult in front of Kyushu and Katsuragi. Fortunately, with the cover of three torpedo ships and several gunboats, Changsheng and Unbeaten not only do not lose the wind, but also firmly occupy the offensive initiative. right.

Although temporarily taking the lead, it is not easy to sink Japan's [-]-ton ship.Unless Changsheng and Bubai use the main gun to directly penetrate the opponent's deck at close range, but they will not give you a chance to get close, or even if you are allowed to get close, the caliber of the sidestring secondary gun of the Japanese [-]-ton ship is too large. The caliber of the main gun of Changsheng is much larger, and it is not certain who will be sunk.

"Zhou Guandai, a Japanese warship has left." An adjutant ran in excitedly.

Zhou Zhan was still holding the binoculars to observe the changes in the entire battle situation, without any smile on his face, and said coldly: "I see, this is not a good thing." Zhou Zhan put down the binoculars, turned around and continued: " The Japanese devils are going to make trouble for Chengfeng and them, we cannot let them succeed."

The burnt-faced, ragged adjutant, whose navy uniform embroidered with golden dragons, could no longer see his original appearance. Hearing Zhou Zhan's words, he couldn't help but wonder: "But the enemy ship has already started speeding up. We want to I'm afraid it's too late to catch up, and my ship has already..."

"Fucking brains? Who told you to chase after him? Didn't the school teach you the law of straight lines on the sea surface? Go, give me an order to cross over and block it with the hull, and I must hold that speed boat for me." Waves." Zhou Zhan cursed angrily.

"Guan Dai, that straight line is within the firing range of Qiujinzhou's main guns. What's more, my ship is already submerged in water, and the full speed is only 14 knots." The adjutant said embarrassedly.

"Afraid of death?" Zhou Zhan ignored the adjutant's words and continued to look through the binoculars.

The adjutant who was asked blushed, straightened his neck and said, "No...no..."

Zhou Zhan put down the binoculars, walked to the adjutant and taught: "Who is not raised by his father and parents, knowing that there is no calf cramps in the death, this is common. But there is no reason to do it. Now is the time to be a devil." , let’s let the devils pass, and we are safe. But riding the wind and breaking the waves will be dangerous. General Yan’s 4000-ton Changsheng is resisting the Japanese devils’ 10000-ton battleship. For what? Riding the wind and breaking the waves, they dealt with the Japanese devils gunboats and torpedo ships to buy time. If we let the devils' cruisers pass, once the initiative on the battlefield is lost, in the future, even if we can go back alive, do we have the face to sacrifice to those brothers who died in battle? Pat your conscience, you can sleep peacefully for the rest of your life..."

The adjutant didn't wait for Zhou Zhan to finish, and said anxiously: "My lord, stop talking... I'll pass the order right away. See you at the Hall of Martyrs..."

Zhou Zhan nodded silently.

It's going to explode tomorrow, everyone, let's get some flowers! !ask for flowers

Competing in East Asia Chapter 144 Bloody Battle in the Sea of ​​Japan ([-]) The first update on the weekend, flowers~~~

Like going crazy, the "Nanxiang" rushed towards the channel of "Sulang" with hundreds of tons of seawater in his stomach, desperately trying to block its way.In order to avoid colliding with it, the "Speed ​​Wave" was forced to reduce its speed, sink the Chinese warship first, and then go to rescue the gunboat and torpedo boat behind it.Nansho's desperate assault made it even closer to the Akitsusu, which was already seriously injured. Even the smallest caliber cannon on the Akitsusu could reach the range, but this also made Komitsu Ryuichiro hesitate. .

"Order the warship to go due east and retreat at full speed. Keep the distance from the enemy ship rushing up."

"General, what's so scary about the wounded cruiser? Let's give him a shot and keep his soul at sea."
