On Yang Hao's speedboat, the signal soldiers rushed to the two nearest battleships with flashlights to signal the signals. The short and sharp light was completely backward and unexpectedly seen by people from afar.

Including the two ships in Dingzhen, the compact formation made all ships find lights. Then the "Dingyuan Ship" raised the battle flag and the dragon flag, and all boilers began to work wildly, and all their strength was output.

The sleepy officers and sailors, who were originally sleepy, stood on their posts in a hurry, nervous but somewhat expectant manner, waiting for the moment when the battle begins!

In the fog, the two fleets are getting closer and closer!

In the southern waters, the four ships led by the Yoshino were slowly advancing at a speed of 10 knots. They were not unable to be faster, but 10 knots was the optimal cruise speed of the ship. The more important thing was to take care of the team behind them.

After yesterday's day of pursuit and struggle, the speed was constantly increasing, slowing down, turning, and fighting, and all the officers and soldiers on and off the ship were exhausted. In fact, Hokami Tsukii himself did not want to touch a finger. For this reason, they had to rest for a few hours off the coast of the Goryeo Peninsula until the team followed.

In the second half of the night, as the area searched north became narrower and the coastline reached only fifty or sixty kilometers northward, they turned from south to the island to the west. If it was daytime, they could summarize all the suspicious sea areas at a glance.

There is no way. In an era without conclusive intelligence and radar reconnaissance, searching for enemies at sea is similar to colliding with great fortune. This is still the narrowest Yellow Sea. If it were the East China Sea and the South China Sea, and the Pacific Ocean outside, it would be very difficult for both sides to fight a battle.

With the arrival of the second early morning, they drove into the foggy waters. Tsukii Yokono could no longer stay.

He came out of the commander's tower and stood on the watchtower above. He looked into the distance himself--although he could not see anything.

But his years of experience and experience in recent months have always made him feel indescribable. The enemy who could never catch up with and the deliberate seduction and tossing all day long made him call the police one after another.

This matter is not that simple!

He turned around and asked the staff officer who accompanied him: "Oda-kun, if it were you, you would have chosen to risk moving to the war zone even if you could escape. Are you planning to join the Qing fleet?"

Oda knew that he was talking about the armed cargo ship yesterday, nodded vigorously and replied: "If there is such a powerful artillery and speed, it is unreasonable to just escape. They have the ability to injure our warships, and I must retaliate at night. However, it cannot be ruled out. In fact, they are also worried about being attacked and dare not confront each other head-on."

"I have such concerns too!" Tsukii Yokozo sprayed two long breaths from his nostrils, frowned. His eyes turned rapidly for a few times, and he said decisively. "Go and tell Heyuan to make them more vigilant and prevent them from being attacked. Well, we also need to tell our team that if necessary, we should first prepare for the two slow warships to withdraw from the battle at any time."

Because of the long-term training of formation methods, after the Chilean warships joined, they had no time to replace them, so they still followed the previous structure. The two warships were still dragging their feet. Once they fought, they would not be of much use except tonnage.

Fortunately, the team was not too far away, and the four Yoshino ships began to slow down slowly so that they could move forward closer. At the same time, all the sailors with good eyes went out and looked around, but the vision was really bad.

"This damn mist is really troublesome."

Tsukizu Tsukii's mood became worse and worse, and he really couldn't take advantage of the various advantages of the Imperial Navy.

An hour passed in a flash!

The two fleets of oblique impacted quickly approached the range of the main gun! The sea fog was still heavy, and it was very difficult to see one kilometer from the field of view, and this was night!

The two ships in Dingzhen rushed forward from the queue and overtook about 500 meters ahead of the two ships. The four main guns of each were all filled with high-explosive bombs!

Ding Ruchang did not listen to the advice and stood in front of the flying bridge, so that everyone could see their existence. He was leaning on his sword and his bitter face, so serious that it seemed to be frozen.

In fact, he was so anxious that he secretly muttered: "Why haven't you fired the fire yet? You haven't fired yet? You have to wait?"

Seven thousand meters, six thousand meters, five thousand meters, the Yoshino all passed in front of their muzzles and were still approaching!

At this moment, the Japanese sailors on the Yoshino suddenly shouted: "When hearing the suspicious engine sound, it is very likely that there are ships near us!"

Tsukii Yokozo's eyes flashed and he shouted: "That's right, it must be an enemy ship, everyone is ready to fight!"

"Sure enough... I was still guessed!"

He hurriedly returned to the commander's tower with the staff, rushed to the chart table with Kawahara, leaned over and saw it, and couldn't help but tremble together--Is the enemy really here? How did they seize the clever opportunity?!

Their reaction was very fast, but it was too late!

The majestic and huge body of the "Dingyuan" was like an ancient giant beast, emitting black smoke and suddenly burst out of the night! When it almost reached three thousand meters of "Gao Qiansui" ranked second, it opened fire!

"Bang!"

A earth-shaking loud noise suddenly exploded on the sea like a bolt from the blue. The dazzling fire light illuminated the sea surface for several miles in an instant! The surging waves of impact pushed away the large fog, and two shells roared straight ahead!

In the blink of an eye, a shell accurately hit the bow of the target ship. Half of the hull was penetrated by a sharp hole with a terrible kinetic energy, almost reaching the other end!

The signal tubes made by modern craft shooting are extremely reliable and easily detonate the high explosives loaded in it. The subsequent explosion tear half of the bow into an obtuse angle!

Another shell, because the shooting angle was still a little higher, hit the chimney and caused a big explosion. The downward impact force easily killed nearby buildings. The downward impact debris even damaged the upper end of the boiler, and the front, back, left and right lifeboats and snorkels swept into garbage debris!

One blow, seriously injured "Xintao Chiho"!

On the other side, the "Zhenyuan Ship" aimed at two shells fired from the Yoshino, and one shot hit the root of the main mast after it, and exploded across the back half of the deck, turning the upper part of the half of the ship into a mess. The other one swept across the stern of the ship and exploded from dozens of meters away!

However, the powerful modern high-explosion drugs made several holes in the waterline on the other side of the power, and even cut off the sun flag.

The downward force of the fierce explosion shocked the sailors under the deck and even killed many people! The "Yoshino" who was sailing for less than ten knots was shocked violently, and the sound made by the host was not right!

This was not the beginning of its unlucky fortune, because on the right side of "Zhenyuan", there was a slightly behind "Jingyuan" ship! Just a few seconds later, the ship's double-mounted 210mm Krupp guns were launched together and hit the bow head-on.

An armor-piercing bomb penetrated its weak armor against the waterline, making a transparent hole, but unfortunately it did not explode. Another shot rubbed the bow of the ship too early, leaving a splashing water column, making the Japanese army above cold!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Prepare for combat!"

Dangdang's bell ringing, sharp alarms, and panic shouts rang out on the four Japanese ships!

On the "Yoshino Ship" that suffered heavy blows one after another, several commanders were passively shaking left and right, and their heads were buzzing by the explosion.

Tsukii Yokozo couldn't calm down and exclaimed: "What kind of grenade is used in the Qing Dynasty's naval gun? It's so explosive power? It seems to be even more powerful than the empire's Shise Fire-Pharm!? This is simply incredible!"

Originally, he thought that his secret weapon was world-class, but he didn't expect that the other party would be even more fierce. Is this the Beiyang Fleet he is familiar with?

No wonder "Takachiho" sank so fast last time. It turned out that the other party's terrible main gun actually used such vicious things!

He didn't bother to sigh more, and rushed to the side with great courage, staring at the dark side, because the fire flashed and exposed his whereabouts of the enemy ship.

Based on the flash of light, he found six warships interlaced in parallel, lined up in a row, subconsciously thinking that this was their usual goose-shaped formation?

"Hmm? No, the parallel positions of each warship are not uniform, and it seems to be a bit staggered. So is it because of the uneven speed problem? In addition... they are too dense!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
