Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Although the "Kyushu" is still aggressively attacking the three ships "Zhenyuan", "Weiyuan" and "Jiyuan", it is obviously lacking in confidence, and the distance is getting closer and closer, so the defense on which it depends for survival has now been exhausted. not so solid anymore

In the southeast direction, the muted "Musashi" suddenly fired a shell and hit the frontmost "Chengfeng".This "Breaking Wave" (formerly the Tourle), which was purchased from Germany to imitate the prisoners captured during the Sino-French War, has a displacement of 19 tons although the speed is as high as 5700 knots. The defense of the German-made warships is also considerable.

But it also couldn't withstand the close-range bombing of the main gun of the 106-ton battleship. The [-]mm steel plate was directly pierced, and the shell exploded inside the armor plate.It directly blasted a terrifying hole in the steel plate on the left side, and sea water poured into the cabin in an instant.

The entire "Chengfeng" tilted to the left all of a sudden, and when everyone hadn't recovered, another shell exploded 100 meters to the right of the "Chengfeng". Set off a huge whirlpool. "Chengfeng" was wandering in the whirling nest, completely lost the majesty and prestige that just dominated the sea, and turned into an eagle with no direction and circling in place.

However, after the "Musashi" fired these two shells, it was suppressed again immediately, and the machine guns and main guns of the "Sea Lion" and "Flying Eagle" fired at the "Musashi".

For a while, the "Musashi" was surrounded by artillery shells, and the sea water raised by the few shells that exploded in the surrounding sea surrounded the "Musashi" in the middle.The water column fell heavily on the deck, but most of the shells still hit the "Musashi" accurately.The "Musashi", which was already covered in bruises, could not stand the uninterrupted bombardment, but it burst into flames in an instant, and the fire continued to spread.

The "Chengfeng" got this rare chance to breathe and also played the semaphore of "Our ship is seriously injured, go back to Dagu Military Port for repairs", and slowly left the battlefield.

"Daqing No. [-]" is closely following "Katsuragi". When it comes to one-on-one capabilities, apart from a few battleships of the same level in the Royal Navy in the world that can compete with "Daqing No. [-]", I can't find any of them.

Although the four battleships sold by the United Kingdom to Japan are also relatively advanced warships in the world, they are still far behind the main warships captured by the Qing Dynasty from the Royal Navy, whether it is speed, firepower, or defense. It's down a notch.

Finally, the game of cat and mouse is over.After a loud noise, the "Katsuragi" also slowly sank into the sea following the "Hiei".

There are only two battleships "Kyushu" and "Musashi" left on the battlefield, and the "Daqing No. [-]", "Zhenyuan", "Jiyuan", "Weiyuan" and "Zhiyuan" can continue to fight. , "Laiyuan", "Jingyuan", "Flying Eagle", "Sea Lion" and the flagship "Changsheng" ten warships, including one battleship, four ironclad ships, three gunboats, and two cruisers.

No matter in terms of firepower configuration, number of warships, morale, etc., they are all superior. The failure of the Japanese fleet is already a certainty.

Just when everyone thought the battle was about to end, the "Musashi", which was burning with fire and almost misfired, suddenly changed its course and rushed towards the flagship "Changsheng" of the Qing Fleet in the middle of the battlefield. Pull on a pad back.

"Changsheng" is like a child in front of "Musashi". How can "Changsheng" with a displacement of only 4000 tons withstand the impact of the [-]-ton giant ship moving at full speed?

"Full starboard rudder, advance at full speed. Avoid the Japanese warship in front, and attack with secondary guns." Yan Fu gave the order calmly and decisively.

"Yes."

The bow of the "Changsheng" shifted to the right at once, leaving the route of the "Musashi" impact.And constantly fired shells at the "Musashi" that was rushing towards him with its secondary artillery. The "Musashi" that was burning with fire obviously did not take the secondary artillery attack of "Long Victory" seriously.Still persistently driving towards his goal at a high speed.

"boom……"

It was another shell that accurately hit the "Musashi", but unlike before, the bullet fog that was obviously larger than two circles told everyone that this shell did not come from the "Flying Eagle" or "Flying Eagle" that had been chasing him. The "sea lion" also did not come from the "Long Victory" who was avoiding himself, but from the "Daqing No. [-]" who had just solved "Gecheng".

This shell directly blew up the power system of "Musashi". The rupture of the output pipe of the steam engine made the whole warship emit thick white steam. The cannon stopped.The death of the artillery made the main gun no one to fire shells at all, and the misfiring "Musashi" stood like a target in front of the "Long Victory".

On the deck of "Musashi", a Japanese officer pulled out the command saber from his waist and waved it at the black hole of the "Long Victory" muzzle. He was still yelling loudly, unaware of the arrival of his doomsday. .

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

With the continuous shaking of the "Long Victory" main gun, the Japanese commander disappeared into this world together with the entire "Musashi"...

After a false alarm, only the single commander of the Japanese fleet, the Kyushu, was left.After being surrounded by groups, he still has no intention of surrendering, and is still ready to fight to the death.

Japan's bushido spirit was in full play at this moment, and the "Kyushu" was running at full speed to look for the main warships of the Qing Dynasty, hoping to get a common fate.

It's a pity that he didn't succeed. Only an idiot would die with him in such a situation of great advantage!

After seeing that the fleet that was built with all the power of the whole country in the past ten years was slowly eaten away by the Qing Navy in just a few months, Takuya Takayama, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Navy, is now disheartened Feeling cold.Even if he could break through, he couldn't explain to the emperor. He made up his mind to die, and he just asked for more support before being sunk.

Since he couldn't find the main warships of the Qing Dynasty to die together, he locked his target on the gunboats with slow speed and small tonnage.

"Turn to the northwest and head towards the three gunboats on the back, be sure to shoot one at a time." Takuya Takayama ordered loudly.

"Roms."

Although the battle situation is very unfavorable, and has already felt the approach of death.However, the Japanese officers and soldiers on the entire "Kyushu" continued to complete their work conscientiously, and there was no slack or confusion.

It has to be said that the development of the Japanese navy in recent years has been quite rapid, both in terms of the tonnage and quantity of warships, as well as the operation and quality of naval soldiers.

Unfortunately, after this battle, the Japanese Navy will cease to exist...

Competing in East Asia Chapter 163: Battle of Annihilation in the East China Sea ([-])

After seeing "Kyushu" speeding towards the southeast, everyone's first reaction was to feel that the Japanese wanted to run and break out from the weakest point in the encirclement. The "Laiyuan" quickly issued a semaphore: Our ship intercepted from the front, and "Jingyuan" and "Zhiyuan" attacked from the side must stop the Japanese flagship.

Takuya Takayama was also surprised to see that the three gunboats of Daqing with a displacement of only 2000 tons did not escape, but rushed towards him instead.But this is exactly what I want to see, and I rushed towards the other party in a daze, as if I was afraid that you would not come.

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

The powerful main guns of "Kyushu" continuously bombarded the "Laiyuan" on the front. It may be used to fighting huge warships like "Zhenyuan" and "Daqing No. [-]". Facing the small "Laiyuan", "Kyushu" He completely lost his aim, and after three consecutive shots missed, the distance between the two sides became closer and closer.

"Haha, our warship is small and can't hit us. Get closer, aim and shoot straight, fuck it!!" Captain Chen Guoan of the Laiyuan excitedly issued orders on the deck.

"boom……"

Another shell exploded not far in front of the "Laiyuan", and a piece of sea water slapped heavily on the deck of "Laiyuan" with debris in the sea.

"Bah..." Chen Guoan spat out the sea water in his mouth vigorously, and said, "Hit me, the mission."

The gunboats of the Qing Dynasty mainly relied on the main guns at the bow to attack. The 180mm main guns may be a little smaller than the secondary guns of the battleships. They may be kings in the river, but they only play the role of bullying in the sea. .

But the 180mm main gun still has strong lethality at close range, "Boom..." "Boom..."

There were two loud bangs again, and the gunboats of the Qing Dynasty began to counterattack.First, a shell was fired from "Laiyuan" on the front, and before the sound of the explosion was heard, "Zhiyuan" on the right side of "Kyushu" also fired a shell.

Perhaps due to the large size of the "Kyushu", both gunboats accurately hit the "Kyushu". Facing a shell of this caliber hitting at a distance of more than 5000 meters is simply tickling, without any lethality.

"Come closer and meet him." Chen Guoan ordered.

"Rushing up again, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous!" An adjutant advised.

Chen Guoan's eyes widened and he said, "What do you know? I just want to rush forward to shorten the distance so that General Deng and General Yan behind can catch up faster. You really want to rely on our two cannons to kill the enemy on the opposite side. The monster sank?"

"Uh..." The adjutant was speechless for a moment.

"Rush forward, continue to fight me, and slow down the speed of the enemy ship!" Chen Guoan ordered.

"Yes."

The battle lasted from afternoon to night, thick fog formed on the sea, and the visibility was only a few hundred meters.This is quite an advantage for the gunboats of the Qing Dynasty, because a behemoth like "Kyushu" is like a bright light in the sea to guide them in the direction!

"boom……"

The "Laiyuan" fired another shell and accurately hit the "Kyushu", but at the same time it also exposed its position.

"boom……"

Another loud bang came from "Kyushu" who suddenly found "Laiyuan" who fired shells at him in the foggy sea. How could the displacement of only 2000 tons block the attack of the main guns of the [-]-ton battleship at close range.

The sound of the hull splitting and the painful cries of the people came from the thick fog. Although they couldn't see anything clearly, it was not difficult to guess from the sound that the gunboat of the Qing Dynasty had been destroyed.

Because of the heavy fog, the progress of the "Kyushu" was quite slow.Because there are still two gunboats who don't know where they are, and the four main warships and two cruisers of the Qing Dynasty behind are chasing him.

Also because of the heavy fog, the few Qing warships behind were also afraid of accidental injury and did not dare to fire indiscriminately.
