Boom! A pillar of smoke soared into the sky rose from the battlefield, and then a violent explosion came to the ears of the officers and soldiers on both sides. Just a few seconds ago, a 280mm shell penetrated the waterline hull plate of the Izumi Island, and then hit the ammunition depot at the bottom of the main turret of the Izumi Island without any obstacles! For warships that did not even have a waterline armor belt, this strike was undoubtedly fatal!

In less than a second, the fuse ignited more than a dozen kilograms of ******* in the bullet body, and the entire ammunition depot was ignited instantly! The fire that soared into the sky cut the warship in half like a sharp sword! Even the half-pulled hull was blown into pieces! This warship that the Japanese once proud of struggled on the sea for less than ten minutes and sank into the bottom of the sea! At this time, Yang Yonglin's fleet and his opponent were 3v3! If nothing unexpected happens, the survival time of the other three Japanese cruisers can only be calculated in minutes!

However, the advantages of the local battlefield cannot determine the outcome of this war. When the half-pull hull of Itsujima was still floating on the water, the Japanese fast fleet led by Kasuki was like a passing cavalry, smashing the flanks of the Beiyang Fleet into a mess!

In history, the two outdated cruisers, Chaoy Yangwei, only lasted for half an hour under the attack of the First Guerrilla Fleet. In this plane, it took less than 20 minutes to kill the other party with the enhanced version of the first game! A first-class cruiser, two top second-class cruisers plus a third-class cruiser, and a mid-caliber rapid-fire cannon with more than 30 doors on the side strings cleanly and neatly used high-explosive bombs to smash the two old cruisers into pieces. Just a brief interleaving passed, the Beiyang Fleet lost two warships!

However, the sacrifice of Chaoyong and Yangwei is not meaningless. The main force of the Beiyang Fleet led by Dingzhen has been inserted into the formation of another five Japanese cruisers, and 12 warships on both sides are fighting into a group! In this old ship battle, the Beiyang Fleet once again gained an advantage!

The first thing that was besieged was the pillar of the Japanese Navy in the 1970s, the main force of the 1980s, and the soy sauce of the 1990s - the Fusang ironclad ship. This former Far East overlord was already old at this time! What was so desperate was that this warship was blocked by the two ironclad ships in Dingzhen!

The seven medium-caliber rapid-fire guns and several 305mm giant cannons of the two warships were smashed directly according to the Fusang! Although both sides of the war were hung with the names of the iron armored ships, it was obvious that the value inside was different! Dingzhen's armored belt has a thickness and a height, while Fusang's armored belt has neither height nor thickness. It is not only afraid of large-caliber artillery, but also afraid of sweeping the deck! It has almost no advantages!

Accompanied by a dazzling red fireball flying out of the gun, the 305mml25 large caliber naval gun suddenly retreated, and then replaced it with the help of the reset machine. Although the terrace cannon was still used and the loading equipment was still old, because of the use of new smokeless gunpowder, the aiming speed of the cannon was increased and the firing rate was also improved to a certain extent. The high-explosive bomb filled with picric acid explosives made these cannons a fatal weapon! At a distance of 1,500 meters, the Dingyuan scored its first hit!

This shell accurately concentrated in the artillery room in the middle of the hull of the Fusang. The fundamental reason why the Fusang is called the artillery warship is that most of its firepower is concentrated in the artillery room in the middle of the hull! Its most important weapon, four 240mm cannons, are all in the artillery room! And there is not even a compartment!

This 305mm heavy artillery achieved a home run! After destroying a 240mm artillery, the scattered shrapnel detonated the ammunition piled up next to it! Then, one after another, a series of explosions came from the cannon room, and fire dragons spewed out from the muzzle and the broken deck. The entire cannon room was like a huge torch, and the raging fire spread to the entire deck!

Then the two ironclad rapid-fire cannons on the side strings continued to tilt high-explosive bombs towards each other! In addition, the machine cannons located on the battle mast plate fired, countless shrapnel harvested the Japanese naval officers and soldiers trying to put out the fire. The flying rain of bullets tear a person into a ball of meat like a erratic beast, leaving only a pool of blood or burnt corpses that indicate that there was a living person here!

This warship, which was in service in 1878, struggled hard under the attack of two warships. Countless shells jumped on the side strings and decks of the hull. Flames and smoke even drilled into the cabin. The unexpected furnace stewards were either burned or suffocated to death. Under the scorching flames, pipelines and boilers malfunctioned. This warship, which had been nearby for 16 years, was really difficult to persist!

On the other hand, under the command of Lin Yongsheng, Jingyuan and Laiyuan bit the Kaohsiung and Zhuzi tightly. Although Jingyuan could only be considered average, relying on limited armor protection and relatively excellent artillery techniques, the two Beiyang ironclad ships still suppressed their opponents! The slow and precise shooting caused Zhuzi to temporarily withdraw from the battle, while Kaohsiung had to face the baptism of the 6 medium-caliber artillery rain.

The wooden shells in Kaohsiung are obviously the best fuel for flames. The blue-green flames emitting deadly poison gas spread around the wooden boards. The steel structure brackets began to deform and brittle under the burning of the flames. With bursts of sour twisting sounds, the Kaohsiung hull structure collapsed in pieces, and the Japanese soldiers who were unable to dodge in the future were burned to coke. The heart-wrenching whine of the burners before their death and the explosion of shells turned the entire warship into a purgatory!

However, at this moment, the four fast cruisers led by Kasuga completed a double kill again! The two warships, Guangjia and Guangchuang, which were relatively low, were destroyed by dense rapid-fire cannons and high-explosion bombs. Then, the four cruisers drew a circle on the sea and drove towards the Hirano!

When the rapid-fire cannon on the Kasuki was enveloped by the Hirano, a loud noise came from the battlefield in the distance! A huge fireball rose into the air, which meant another warship was destroyed! The unlucky child of the Hashiri finally couldn't stand it! Although it was not hit by the Kaiyuan's main gun, the fire caused by the high-explosion bomb still spread around the ferry in the hull, and ignited the launching medicine bag on the egg supply equipment. With a series of explosions, the stern of the entire warship quickly entered water. Under the action of gravity, the capital of the ship was slightly raised, accompanied by the sound of tooth-sourcing metal breaking and the sound of structure collapse, the warship was finally finished!

"Admiral Ding may not be able to hold on." Sher looked at the Beiyang Fleet surrounded by a group of Japanese ships in the distance and said with some concern. At this time, Ding Ruchang had only five warships under his command, among which the Pingyuan would be destroyed soon. Faced with the fierce firepower of the four cruisers, the Pingyuan could not escape and defeat.

If cruisers are destroyed, then under the cover of the firepower of the Japanese fleet, the success rate of lightning strikes will be very high. The Japanese torpedo boats that have been hovering outside the battlefield are like sharks smelling blood, ready to rush up and take a bite at any time!
