"Jingyuan" manager Lin Yongsheng was covered in blood, and he shook Chen Rong, the first mate who was hit at the same time, and found that he had died on the spot. {

Looking around, there were more than a dozen officers and soldiers killed and injured by the bomb. The main gun in front was destroyed and the deck was full of raging fires. The sloping hull caused by the flooding and the sudden drop in speed not only made him unable to keep up with the "Dingyuan" in front, but also blocked the "Zhiyuan" channel behind him.

Seeing that the "Hequan" passing by once again turned the two cannons and pointed them to this side, and the other Japanese ships in front of him continued to shoot more rapid-fire cannons, Lin Yongsheng realized that he might not be spared this time.

Erased the blood, he dragged his heavy body and tried to stand firm on the bridge. He shouted loudly with all his might: "Brothers of the robes, our ship is seriously injured, and I am afraid that there is no possibility of returning. In today's battle, we have fulfilled the responsibility of our soldiers and are worthy of our country! However, the enemy is rampant and we cannot hinder our way, so we will die with the Japanese pirates!"

There were actually not many officers and sailors left. The entire upper structure was washed by more than 100 shells, and the large and small turrets were basically damaged. If they lost their mobility, they obviously could not escape the Japanese encirclement.

Before the war started, Lin Yongsheng removed the ladders from all over the bridge, and no one could escape timidly if he died in battle. This time he could only fight to the end!

The "Jingyuan" tilted to the left, activated all the power and accelerated it, and rushed to the "Yidao" that was firing shells from the front!

This movement was clearly seen by the "Zhiyuan Ship" behind it almost approached its stern.

Deng Shichang's eyes were so angry that he shouted loudly: "Not like this! How can you give up easily! We rush up and protect the Jingyuan!"

Although he is not a Fujian officer, he has always been good at managing interpersonal relationships. He is not evil with all the generals and officials. Today, he cannot sit idly by and die!

But at this moment, another 240mm shell from the stern hit "Jingyuan". The explosion not only opened a large hole under the water line, causing the intensification of water injection, but also damaged the boiler cabin, causing the power that was originally not rich and damaged most of it.

The "Jingyuan" suddenly trembled and involuntarily rushed out inertia towards the left front, but the speed became slower and slower. Zhiyuan had no choice but to overtake from the right.

When Deng Shichang urged to speed up the cross, more than a dozen grenades were hit on the Jingyuan, and there was no place on the deck. This warship was no longer saved.

On the Dingyuan, the wind-facing flag sent a signal of breaking through with all its might. After the last Japanese ship passed by, Liu Buchan ordered the rest of the warships behind to speed up and return to the military port. However, because of his slow speed, he had to stay at the end to resist the enemy ships for them!

Deng Shichang and others saluted the increasingly serious "Jingyuan" and then opened their power and moved forward at full speed. Soon they crossed "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan" and rushed out of the siege.

In the distance, Chaoyong, Yang Wei and other groups of fast ships penetrated from the north side at high speed, approaching the rear of the main force fleet, and fired a round of laser shooting with the bow main gun.

Yang Hao accompanied him on the right with four gunboats, and fired wildly with the naval guns, as fast as possible, and shot as fast as possible to bombard the Japanese ships in the southeast.

Further away, the "Dongsheng" also increased the firing speed of the left artillery to the extreme. In this way, there were seven 76mm cannons and a 152mm cannon. The number of explosive grenades fired was several times higher than that of all the other warships! The density of more than 100 rounds per minute was formed in the Japanese array, forming a rising water column and fireworks wall!

From the "Watizumi" to the "Akizumi" behind, every Japanese ship was blocked by this crazy artillery fire, and it was extremely difficult to see the nearby Beiyang warships.

In this case, if the other party takes the risk of approaching and attacks with torpedoes, it will be troublesome!

Yuyuki Ito hurriedly ordered the fleet to maneuver to the left and turn collectively, intending to quickly overtake and surround it again, and give another heavy blow to the enemy ship from behind.

But soon he discovered that the group of warships quickly left the battlefield without exception and ran towards the west, and would not stop and entangle with them!

They are going to run away!

Yuyuki Ito shouted in anger: "The Qing Navy has no sense of honor as a soldier! Do they plan to escape like this?"

If Yang Hao heard it, he would definitely spit on him without hesitation: "Only fools can still play a decisive battle with you even though they know that their speed is not enough and their strength is greatly damaged! If you don't run away now, can't you be abused?"

Most of the Beiyang Navy's ships were waiting for the opportunity for a long time. Finally, the order was issued, and they flocked without hesitation, and the formation collapsed and became messy. However, they were still rational enough that they did not encounter unpleasant collisions with each other.

Yang Hao's four gunboats followed the fleet to the side of the "Dingyuan" and slowed down one after another, using water dragons to help put out the fire.

The "Dongsheng" also rushed to the side of the "Zhenyuan Ship". More than a dozen water dragons were opened, and the sea water that seemed to burst the dam swept across the deck. It soon helped extinguish most of the fire and control the fire.

It has to be said that the survivability of the ironclad ship is too perverted. Looking down from the high command room, Yang Haiwei had been blown up and burned, and there was almost no place left. On the left side of the hull, there were countless explosions that caused the shell to be charred and cracked, which was very worrying whether it would fall apart in the next moment.

However, most of the personnel of this warship hid in thick armored forts, and the most casualties were several turrets. The power system was basically not affected much, and it still followed the fleet at a speed of twelve knots and ran forward.

Ito Yukihiro's third attack was planned, and before they could complete the turn, they were attacked by Yang Haiwei's three cold guns while he was turning, and they were completely lost.

The 152mm cannon with a very long range and high accuracy, a armor-piercing projectile exploded the front main gun of the "Hequan". However, what they were more lucky was that there were no piles of launching drugs inside at that time, so it did not cause a death to explode, which led to a complete destruction.

Another shell blasted in from the stern against the edge of the waterline armor, resulting in poor steering. In addition, the previous power damage made it difficult to guarantee a speed of 14 knots.

Then he discovered that most of the other warships on the side were scarred. The relatively intact Itsukashima and Hashita were not mobility enough. Such weak armor would only make the opponent fall apart in one shot.

Full of depression, they stared at the two ships of Dingzhen who were determined to return to the west. Yuuki Ito was unwilling to beat the railings, but there was no way. They lost this battle!

The British Far East Fleet, who watched the whole process from a distance, drove slowly to the battlefield to help rescue the crew members who fell into the water. No matter which side they fell, they would be salvaged first.

Looking at the figures of the two iron armored ships leaving, Commander Major General Pelitmann was even more determined at this time. In the increasingly rapid naval battle, ships with heavy armor and large caliber heavy artillery will surely become the absolute main force.

In today's battle, if the Japanese flagship main gun had a larger caliber and could penetrate the waterline armor of the two ships in Dingzhen, it would be reversed immediately. Therefore, although they had extremely high speed and fierce medium-caliber artillery, they still could not complete a fatal blow.

"I guess the Japanese will be very upset and are more eager to enter the service of two 10,000-ton battleships? I wonder what kind of attack they will plan after they go back? It's very exciting!"

Peilitman specifically asked two ships to rescue a piece of Jingyuan, which was exposed outside. Although very few people survived, they still did not miss the opportunity to show kindness.

In addition, he stared at the big ship that appeared next to the "Zhenyuan". The strange armed cargo ship appeared again, not the 3,000 tons in the last information. This ship was larger and had more firepower. The secrets were confusing.

After driving about one hundred kilometers, Yang Hao approached the Dingyuan and brought back two intact communication soldiers.

Liu Buchan was completely calm at this time and asked meaningfully: "Mr. Yang helped a lot today. Don't you plan to visit Weihaiwei?"

Yang Hao responded with a smile: "There are opportunities in the future."

If you really go to Weihaiwei, God knows whether they will turn against each other and detain the person? You can't take such dangers, and there is no need.

All gunboats surrounded the "Dongsheng", bypassing the rear of the Beiyang Fleet, and speeding to leave south. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
