Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

This made Ding Ruchang, the captain of the "Flying Eagle", unable to find the north.

"Ding Guantao, General Yan sent a semaphore to let us raid the Hiei, who are we listening to?" a communications soldier asked in confusion.

"How did I know?" Ding Ruchang's eyes lit up, and he continued: "According to the current formation system, we should listen to General Deng."

The communications soldier said in embarrassment: "But the Flying Eagle belongs to the Nanyang Fleet, and the commander-in-chief of the Nanyang Fleet is General Yan!!"

Now Ding Ruchang is really in trouble, what should I do?

"Go, see what the Sea Lion is doing?" Ding Ruchang thought of the Sea Lion with his sister ship.

But the answer he got made him quite disappointed, and the "Sea Lion" was still watching the movements of "Flying Eagle" eagerly!

In this moment of hesitation, the fighter plane has gone away.Whether it is the raid on the "Kyushu" or the "Hiei", it should have caused a considerable blow to the Japanese fleet, but now the five Japanese fleets have formed a well-shaped formation, with main guns facing each other on all sides. , there are at least 10 secondary guns in all directions.

Under the unified command of "Kyushu", they slowly and synchronously sailed towards the Sea of ​​Japan.

The three cruisers of the Qing Dynasty and the "Dingyuan" and "Jiyuan" behind the Japanese fleet were not strong enough to directly intercept the four [-]-ton Japanese battleships.

Seeing the five Japanese warships slowly leave...

Competing in East Asia Chapter 161: Battle of Annihilation in the East China Sea ([-])

"Rush up to me and entangle Little Japan, don't let these bastards go back this time." Yan Fu roared loudly.

The chaos in the command was clear at a glance, and all the ships were somewhat at a loss.Fortunately, this confusion was only temporary. When Deng Shichang took the initiative to lower the command flag on the flagship, there was only one commander on the battlefield.

The four ironclad ships "Zhenyuan", "Dingyuan", "Jiyuan" and "Weiyuan" plus the two battleships "Daqing No. [-]" and "Daqing No. [-]" are like six giants slowly retreating towards Japan. The fleet rushed away quickly.

Relying on the strong defensive power of its own warships, it is desperate to disrupt the formation of the Japanese fleet, so as to defeat them one by one.

"boom……"

The "Dingyuan" ironclad ship was bombed by a 420mm main gun while advancing. Although the distance was relatively long and the "Dingyuan" itself had a strong defense force, it did not cause a devastating blow, but it gave all the troops of the Qing Dynasty Warship is a warning, if you get closer, you may be directly pierced through your own warship.

However, all the warships, including the three "Laiyuan", "Jingyuan", and "Zhiyuan", were approaching the Japanese fleet rapidly. The speed of the Japanese fleet launched a confrontation with their secondary guns where the main guns of the Japanese fleet could not reach.

For a time, a huge circle was formed on the sea centered on the five Japanese warships, and the Qing warships formed an encirclement circle outside, besieging the Japanese fleet in the middle.

The encirclement is getting smaller and smaller, and the shells are hitting faster and faster.

After paying the price of "Daqing No. [-]" and "Dingyuan" being seriously injured and leaving the field, "Yamato" was finally beaten and ignited.The only shortcoming of the tic-tac-toe formation of the Japanese fleet is that no warship can leave the field with a hand injury, because no matter which warship leaves the field, there will be a lack of main guns in two directions. The three ultra-fast cruisers can immediately capture this kind of fighter, enter the position of the Japanese fleet from a direction without main guns, divide the Japanese warships, and then destroy them one by one by the main battleship of the Qing Dynasty.

But now "Yamato"'s injuries have formed, and it seems that it is impossible not to withdraw from the battle.

In the encirclement of the Qing fleet, even if he wanted to withdraw from the battle, it was impossible.

The same 420mm main gun of "Daqing No. [-]" sprinkled a handful of salt on the wound of "Yamato".

"boom……"

The huge battleship tilted to the right, and the chord deck on the right side was obviously broken, and the sea water was pouring into it crazily.

"Immediately give up resisting and surrendering, I, the Qing Dynasty, guarantee the safety of everyone." The Eternal Victory signaled.

"boom……"

A shell flew over the "Changsheng" and exploded about 300 meters behind, setting off a huge water column.

"Damn, the little Japanese's bones are pretty tough. It's a pity that those few battleships are gone!" Yan Fu looked at the several Japanese battleships opposite him with glowing eyes.

"General, give the order. Damn it." The communications soldier said anxiously.

"Let, the three ships of Zhen, Wei, and Ji cooperate with Daqing No. [-] to rush in from the front, and let the three ships of Chengfeng, Haishi, and Feiying rush in from the direction where the opponent has no main guns, and completely separate them. Jing, Lai , Zhi San and the flagship rushed in to kill the Japanese ironclad warship." Yan Fu arranged the next tactic in an instant.

"Yes." The messenger left in a hurry.

After the Japanese fleet lost its sharpest cruiser, it simply did not have the previous changeable tactics.The main battleships are completely huge forts without other cover and containment. Although their powerful attack power prevents the Qing fleet from getting close, they can still withstand hundreds of shells and survive with their strong defense. A myth that stands still.

However, over time, this myth will always be shattered...

Because although the battleship "Musashi" had not been bombed at close range, it was hit by no less than 200 shells from a long distance by three cruisers of the Qing Dynasty. Although the warship itself did not have fatal wounds, the soldiers on the warship It has been bombed and there are not many left.

Especially artillery, a warship without artillery is equivalent to a warship without cannons!This is really terrifying. On the sea, this huge battleship has been "dumb" for a long time.

"Musashi, what's the situation? Why didn't you fire back." The semaphore soldiers of the Kyushu issued a questioning semaphore.

"Our ship's artillery suffered too many casualties. There were small fires and water leaks in many places on the hull. The artillery went to put out the fire first." Musashi's semaphore soldiers answered truthfully.

Perhaps the Japanese never understood that the best defense is actually offense.

When the four main warships of the Qing Dynasty finally penetrated the Japanese fleet, a close-range artillery battle began.

Just like when two people holding sniper rifles meet at a distance of less than 50 meters, the comparison is no longer about precise aiming, nor the speed of shooting.All the usual training things may not be used, or used less.

What is compared now is courage, courage, and the momentum to go forward.

In this regard, both sides have a first-class level.Whoever hits anyone at this close range will be fatal, devastating...

"Boom..." "Boom..."

The "Yamato" that was burning with fire slowly sank into the sea, and after being hit by two consecutive shells from the "Zhenyuan" at close range, it finally ended its life.Perhaps it is unfair to the warship itself. The "Da Qing No. [-]", which also came from the Armstrong Shipyard in the United Kingdom, still stands on the sea today.

The reincarnation of warships is also an art!In the hands of the Japanese, it is only a matter of time before the soul returns to the sea!

"Yamato" seemed to be unwilling to leave this wonderful world. When the entire warship was submerged in the sea, the main gun on the bow swayed and twisted a few times.

Immediately afterwards, the three cruisers "Chengfeng", "Sea Lion", and "Flying Eagle" made a surprise attack from the direction of the original "Yamato" main gun defense, and carried out a series of uninterrupted bombings on the dumb "Musashi" at close range. .

In particular, the 16 140mm caliber machine guns of "Chengfeng" fired shells uninterruptedly, which turned the "Musashi" that had already formed a small fire into an uncontrollable fire in an instant.

Although it may not be possible to sink the "Musashi" in a short period of time, judging from the current situation, it is only a matter of time before the entire fleet is wiped out, and the dilapidated ironclad "Hiei" has also been " Thick black smoke came out from the "Long Victory", and there may be a fire somewhere in the cabin, but the size of the fire cannot be seen clearly from the outside.

On the front, the four main battleships "Daqing No. [-]", "Zhenyuan", "Weiyuan", and "Jiyuan" were besieging "Kyushu" and "Katsuragi", making these two battleships clearly see "Musashi" After being bullied by three cruisers, he was unable to turn around and rescue.

This is also a kind of sadness. Two countries that have just developed their naval careers have waged a war that must be fought for their own national destiny. The losing party may not be able to stand up again for a long time afterwards.

"boom……"

A huge explosion occurred on the "Hiei" ship itself. Through the telescope, a group of Japanese soldiers saw that the fire was out of control. It was only a matter of time before they were sunk, so they detonated a shell and sank into the sea together with the warship...

Competing in East Asia Chapter 162: Battle of Annihilation in the East China Sea ([-])

"Little Japan isn't very good at war, but it's quite kind." Yan Fu also said with emotion.

After two Japanese warships sank one after another, the entire formation was completely disrupted.The originally organized resistance was disintegrated in an instant, and all the Japanese warships fought on their own, completely losing the confidence and momentum they had at the beginning.

The "Daqing No. [-]" hit two consecutive shots on the "Katsuragi" that was fleeing northwestward. Now even the commander-in-chief of the British Royal Navy can't save the bad luck of the Japanese fleet's failure.
