The great powers can join forces to invade China because it is profitable. But it is absolutely impossible to say that they can cooperate strictly in each other in the war and sacrifice for overall victory.

When Ditrich saw the four frigates rushing in, his first reaction was: "These guys plan to come and release torpedoes. At their speed, our warships cannot stop it!"

If you are used to fighting at a speed of more than ten knots, it is a bit unsatisfactory. Facing a frigate that is twice as fast as possible and has extremely high flexibility and maneuverability, no matter whether it is the main gun or the secondary gun on the ship, you should not expect to hit the opponent. The only ones that can play a role are probably 88mm guns and 37mm machine guns, but the number of these two is not large, and the shells do not have the ability to kill the enemy in one blow.

On the other hand, if those four guys attack with all their might, the "Election Emperor" would be in trouble!

As if it was confirming Dietrich's judgment, the four frigates rushed in at high speed quickly revealed their fangs! The shells fired by the 127mm main gun with an astonishing rate of fire were as dense as raindrops, and suddenly roared six thousand meters away. The four ships and eight tubes spewed out steel flames at a speed of more than one hundred rounds per minute. The "Visenberg" was completely submerged in the explosion in the blink of an eye!

That was not a random bombing. Most of the shells landed on or around the warships! It seemed that every second there was a fire group of 10,000 tons of steel giant beasts rising up, tearing off the steel structures towards the flames that were rushing away from all directions; the water columns of bombs that fell near were flying like walls, not only blocking the sight of the people on the ship, but also spilling the cold sea water on the deck endlessly, causing the people above to fall into dire straits!

Dietrich and the Germans on the "Election Emperor" looked cold all over! Under such a dense blow, the crew on the ship had no chance of counterattacking! Their ears were full of explosions. Their bodies were surrounded by deadly flames and shrapnel. The hull under their feet was trembling so hard that it was almost untenable, and their vision was blurred. Fire and counterattack? You can tell me where the enemy is first!

The "Weihai-class" frigates are not only fast in speed, but also fast invasion speed and fast aiming, but also maneuvering at sea, which is outrageous!

After firing hundreds of shells in one breath and washing the "Wesenberg" from head to toe, four ships immediately rushed towards the "Election Emperor".

Dietrich's foresight was only a few minutes for the ship. He barely completed the maneuvering turn to the left, and let the ship behind rush up to act as a knife guard.

Running ahead was the flagship "Caesar Emperor" of the fleet that had sailed to Chinese waters earlier. This was an iron-clad ship with a displacement of 8,940 tons. Its hull equipment was about the same as the original "Dingyuan Ship", and it was also a hero back then.

But in today's naval battle, there were more than ten giant ships of ten thousand tons alone, so she could not show her advantage. But in order to protect her flagship, she had to rush forward.

The heavy and slow "Caesar Emperor" was first built in 1874. It was equipped with a sailing mount and had a displacement of only 7,650 tons. Later, after removal and transformation and upgrading, the hull was painted gray, which barely looked like a modern warship. But its foundation was not very good after all. It could not bring about a complete change. The strongest firepower was the eight 20-fold 260mm cannon.

Without exception, these equipment are all out of date. The reason why they dare to drive to the Far East to show off their power was originally to threaten and intimidate with their reputation as the world's largest army power. When this move is not very good, all the decayed foundation hidden under the glory will be completely revealed!

Now, one of the two powerful 10,000-ton ships is being beaten and the other is running away. As the guards with the largest tonnage and the thickest armor, they have no choice but to use their strength to rush up.

The incoming "Weihai-class" frigate was not picky about food, and he attacked anyone. When he saw that guy staggering out, he immediately mobilized his sharp artillery and aimed it, and then submerged it with hundreds of shells!

In one minute, the deck of the "Emperor Caesar" caught fire more than a dozen places, the front mainmast was crooked, and the lifeboat was almost destroyed!

In two minutes, several holes appeared on the deck. I don’t know who made it. Anyway, a fierce flame suddenly shone, reopening the continuous explosions, condensed into a violently churning cloud of mushrooms and rushed straight to the sky. Many broken hulls mixed with artillery wreckage rushed out, scattering on the sea surface of four or five hundred meters in a radius.

Death Explosion!

The huge shock made the crew of the coalition warships nearby tremble and their minds were ridiculous. When could those little guys easily kill a main battleship? Is there any reason or not to talk about the rules?

But the facts are right in front of you!

The length of the "Weihai-class" frigate is about the same as the "Caesar Emperor", both of which are more than 80 meters, but the width is less than half of that. It is as thin as a tuna. But it is this little thing that can gather in groups but it can have great lethality!

What secrets are hidden in them are not the issue they need to consider now. Ditrich only saw four dexterous killers rushing to chase him again, and they didn't care about anything. He blew the flag again and ordered several other warships to follow and protect him!

There are four warships dispatched together with the "Emperor Caesar", the slightly inferior tonnage of "Cormorant" has a displacement of 5,200 tons, the other 4,300 tons of "Princess William", the 4,300 tons of "Ilena", and the 2,370 tons of "Akna". These warships are not very advanced, and the speed is similar, and they are purely driven by Germany's reputation to scare people.

Now that he was ordered to protect the enemy, he didn't care about so many people, and rushed up to intercept him.

But at this moment, the "Zhenyuan" suddenly pulled over from the place of the fire exchange, and approached with four heavy artillery aggressively, and fired two consecutive volleys, making three big holes in the "Emperor Caesar"!

The violent power of the 305mm armor-piercing shell almost penetrated this old-fashioned warship! Each shell tore the armor and smashed it into the inner cabin, breaking the explosion and breaking the surroundings, opening up amazing holes. Not only did it completely destroy its structure and destroy the power system. You can even see the fireworks rushing out one after another on the deck!

With a loud thunderous sound, the ammunition depot of "Emperor Caesar" was triggered, and the clumsy hull jumped from right to left, and half of the steel and wood structure disintegrated, as if it was bitten by a big mouth. It disappeared from the waterline to the deck a width of more than ten meters!

Then, the "Zhenyuan" was still heading, and it was rushing forward with four remaining battleships. From a distance, it shot a large-caliber shell in the air, roaring and rushing, and bursting into flames and water columns of fire among the German fleets, shattering shrapnel and whistling, smashing on its old hull. The sound of the thrilling soul trembled!

What is the scene of a tiger rushing into the flock of sheep that tastes the smell of blood? That’s right in front of you!

No matter how strong the Germans were in fighting, they had no effect on paper in front of the cannon. In just a few minutes, the "Cormorant" that was the first to be hit! The terrible large-caliber armor-piercing projectile penetrated from its bow and exploded until it exploded under the commander's tower, which not only caused the steel building above to be ripped off. It also caused a main cannon ammunition to explode, and a loud bang. The "Cormorant" severely damaged half of the broken body!

The remaining three warships fled without saying a word! There was no way to fight this battle. They didn't even have the chance to fire, so they were crushed head-on, and they were not allowed to speak? It's unreasonable!

But can they really escape? That's a dream!

Liu Buchan was determined to establish his authority and completely promote the reputation of the Beiyang Navy. How could he miss such a great opportunity? At the beginning of the war, he made up his mind to have a completely complete victory today so that the great powers could see the powers' powers' powers' powers!

The "Zhenyuan" is inconvenient to head-on, and doesn't even care about hitting a certain warship head-on and rushing forward straight. The other "Yuan" warships that were originally left behind were finally seized the opportunity to fight.

However, these warships no longer fight alone. They are led by "Laiyuan" and "Jingyuan". With the modified advanced tube retreat rapid-fire main gun, they form a roaring fire wall that is forcing forward!

Today, the five long-terms have also been changed beyond recognition. In addition to the upgraded power system, each warship has ensured a minimum speed of 18 knots and a strong pressure ventilation of 20 knots. In addition, diesel auxiliary engines have been added, which greatly enhances the startup emergency response capacity and fully realizes electrification.

In addition, it is to change the van bridge, a single tilt chimney, a simple civil-grade radar and add basic equipment such as optical sights, computer fire control, etc.

The artillery equipment was not a major change, but the original double-equipped 210mm cannon was replaced with a double-equipped 152mm castle turret. The turret weighing 50 tons seemed abrupt on the hull of more than 2,000 tons, but at least this one was the only one, and it was still able to withstand it. The other secondary cannons were still 152mm single-equipped cannons.

In this way, the four battleships have four 152mm guns, with a rate of 8-10 rounds per minute!

It must be noted that the range of these 152mm guns with the advantage of the 152mm guns exceeds 20 kilometers. With the assistance of optical sight and radar fire control, the hit accuracy within ten kilometers is greatly improved. At the five-kilometer combat distance, it can obtain a hit rate many times higher than that of the enemy, and can guarantee a 150mm armor-piercing ability. Except for contemporary battleships, almost no armored cruiser can withstand its crazy smash!

Just like these five modified monsters, they rushed out quietly like a group of evil wolves hiding behind the lions. The slender small body seemed to be in danger. But when it rushed to the nearby area with amazing agility and agility to launch an attack, the suddenly flare of fangs made all the enemies they face frightened!

The Beiyang Fleet can no longer be described as a formation. Dingyuan and Zhenyuan each broke through the enemy formation alone, causing the coalition fleet to fall apart; four fast frigates attacked in groups, restraining and induced the enemy's guard forces and causing serious injuries, and then pestering the "Election Emperor" who was trying to escape.

The remaining five great fars were arranged in a horizontal formation, and all 152mm artillery moved forward, covering the enemy with an advantage of at least four quarters beyond the opponent, and isolated the remaining three German ships from the remaining 10,000-ton ship in the diagonal spear. Then, fired together!

"Boom boom boom---!"

The terrifying and dense roar sounded for the first time in the chaotic battlefield! The roar of eighteen 152mm advanced rapid-fire cannons roared on the open sea about 9 kilometers away from the enemy ship, and several consecutive test shots were calibrated. Then the fire was freely opened!

This is a big deal. The effect is indeed outstanding!

Nearly one hundred rounds of unprecedented intensive bombardment per minute. Four or five tons of steel ammunition were thrown out at one time, turning the area where the three German ships were located into a burning fire hell in the blink of an eye!

At such a distance, although the three German ships also have defenses, it would be a joke to completely resist!

However, after a few rounds of volleys, the "Princess William" in front was first blown up! Seven or eight consecutive shells pierced through their decks and places where the armor could not cover them. The explosion caused a fire to scatter the decks. The weakly protected turrets surrendered after a slight resistance, and followed a series of deaths and explosions into pieces!

The "Ilena" two kilometers away on the left was not much better. After only a few minutes, the shells suddenly surged in the distance and fell over the head! With the same terrible accuracy, the ship trying to escape even figured out how many explosions and pains were hit and drowned in the fire.

However, this is not enough to panic the Germans. According to common sense, fires in general may cause severe damage, but they are not enough to sink the warships - at least they are protected by iron armor. The quality of German warships is trustworthy.

But when Wu Dayuan rushed in, they were all stunned!

Five thousand meters away, the direct shot of the 152mm cannon actually bombarded their main armor and created a series of ruptures on the waterline! The whole ship was rising and falling, and was shot in and out at will, and one hole was blown by a few shots! After several shots, the "Princess William" and "Ilena" were hit by dozens of shells one after another, and there was almost nothing left on the upper floor of the deck. The hull was heavily tilted and slowly sank!

The last "Akner" was lucky enough to avoid the fiercest attack because it hid the farthest. When he saw the terrifying five monsters following the "Zhenyuan" and turned around to siege the Russian fleet behind, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then chased the "Election Emperor" that was escaping in front.

But this joy lasted for a few minutes. A warship suddenly jumped out of the slant, and it appeared from behind like a ghost, and piles of shells were smashed out in a blink of an eye!

This is the Jiaozhou frigate that was previously responsible for the troublemaking mission!

Sa Zhenbing didn't sleep all day and night, and his spirits were not seen to be weakened. Lying in the bridge command center, he personally steered and chased the "Akner". After confirming that the bombardment hit, the enemy ship caught fire, a smile finally appeared on his slightly numb face.

After waiting for a night, he fired hundreds of shells but failed to capture an enemy ship. Why was he willing to withdraw from the battlefield? It was one aspect that he finally came out for a while and did not get some decent achievements.

The alternating rapid fire of the 127mm cannon made the light hull tremble continuously. More than 100 officers and soldiers on the ship were obviously used to it. Even the dull roar through the turret made people feel drowsy.

There was no shock or surprise. After a night of repeated attacks and raids, they were already full of the belief in winning, and they had long since taken the backward equipment of the enemy ship... Well, most of them didn't know how to operate the optical sight and radar fire control system.

It was not until a violent explosion in front that the entire ship burst out with a loud cheer!

Sa Zhenbing yelled at the right time: "Good fight! Everyone cheered up and sank that guy with me!"

The "Jiaozhou" stirred up a boiling splash and rushed up like a cheetah. No matter how the "Akner" turned maneuverably, she could not get rid of it. However, she started from 10 kilometers away, and was beaten while being constantly approached until four or five thousand meters away!

Several consecutive shells hit the stern of the "Akner", and finally destroyed its rudder. The hull was imbalanced after it pierced, and it was unnaturally crooked and slanted.

The cannons of the Jiaozhou were silent for a little while, and they all aimed again and again. Suddenly, they fired more and more rapid fires. The explosion of "all and all" didn't sound amazing, but from a distance, they saw that the "Akner" was suddenly submerged by an explosion. Then the fire was swept into the entire ship, screaming and squeaking, tilting and disintegrating!

Sa Zhenbing waved his fist lightly and felt overjoyed. He could finally paint a sunk sign on the ship. This is a good thing that he may never encounter in his life as a navy. For many old sailors, he can brag about his legendary experience for a lifetime.

The Jiaozhou slowly slowed down, drew a beautiful arc on the sea, circled and circled the starboard cannon and circled the "Akner", and then chased the "Election Emperor" in the distance and joined the hunting team.

On the main battlefield, the French ships that escaped hunting saw the "Dingyuan" turning at an astonishing speed from a distance. They turned right again without hesitation and fled north at full speed. The Russian fleet, which was slightly behind, followed suit and did not delay at all.

But they finally reacted a beat slower. Before the bulky hull could complete the speed reduction, turn the rudder, and accelerate this complex action, they saw the "Zhenyuan" in the background of fireworks spreading in the distance, like a prehistoric beast coming towards them, and they were immediately scared and heartbroken!

Speaking of which, the Russians are not bad. Among the warships coming to China this time, there is a 10,000-ton ship "Chesma", and two "Alexander II-class" warships, but they also have a displacement of 9,500 tons.

The three main battleships, the "Cheesma", are equipped with three dual-mounted 305mm main guns, the latter is equipped with two 305mm guns and four 228mm cannons, and the firepower is fierce. If they are insufficient, the speed is slightly slower. However, the armor is strong enough. In particular, the "Cheesma", which is also sufficiently equipped with 406mm main armor.

But even these three sea monsters that were able to roam the Far East were now like frightened flocks. Before they could meet, they didn't care about any face and fled!

This is not just a problem of disunity between the coalition forces. First of all, the Russian officers are generally of poor quality these days. In addition to the arrogant and corruption he used to, they really did on the battlefield and performed extremely poorly! (To be continued, please search Piaotianyi, the novel is better and faster!
