"Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-"

"This ...... What is this? Fireworks?" Nepokadev stood on the side of the ship, looking at the back of the two slender silver-white warships in the distance, and suddenly spewed out dazzling flames, and then saw a flash of fire, and a long strip of object left the ship, spewing a striking flame from the tail, even far beyond himself, flying diagonally into the sky, and not one, one after another, it did look a little like fireworks released during a celebration.

"Why do overseas Chinese set off fireworks at this time? Is it to celebrate their victory in advance?"

"But if it's fireworks, it should be launched straight into the sky, how can it be set off diagonally like this?"

"Maybe this is the habit of overseas Chinese, who don't know how to set off fireworks at all?"

After the surrendered or captured Russian ships gathered, except for a small number of personnel left on each Russian ship to ensure the movement of the warships, all the rest of the personnel were transferred to the warships guarding these Russian ships, which selected the officers on each Russian ship and concentrated them on one warship, but there were not too many restrictions on their movements, and they were allowed to move on the aft deck.

Although these Russian officers became prisoners, they were still unconvinced, and after seeing the launch of the Huaihua ship, everyone was puzzled and couldn't help but ridicule.

"Stupid. ”

When everyone turned their heads to look, it turned out to be Colonel Djokovic, the first mate and captain of the Borodino, who spoke. The captain of the Borodino, Kashnilov, was seriously wounded and is now unconscious, and was placed in the warship's infirmary.

The colonel sneered and said, "Fireworks were first invented by the Chinese, don't they know how fireworks are set off? ”

Everyone looked along the place of his finger, only to see that at the junction of water and sky in the distance, a flame rose out, and everyone immediately let out a burst of exclamation, seeing that this should be the appearance of the warship after it was bombed, and before the flame was extinguished, another flame appeared, and then a third flame appeared, and these Russian officers were also calm again, and they all grabbed the side of the ship, stretched their necks to watch, and some even took out their binoculars to watch. KPA took only everyone's weapons, including sabers, but not personal items such as binoculars.

At this moment, two more Haihongqi 7* were launched on the Huaihua ship, and many Russians also raised their attention, staring at the trajectory of the flight, only to see the * flying farther and farther, gradually blurring, but if you pay attention to watching, you can still see the looming tail flame, and those who are looking forward to the telescope can see more clearly.

Sure enough, the flames at the junction of water and sky reappeared, and the Russians, who were looking forward to the telescope, could see clearly that the flames had indeed hit a warship. At this time, everyone also understood that this was a weapon, and many people exclaimed, "God, what kind of weapon is this?"

Nepokadev put down his binoculars, his face turned pale, and said to Djokovic: "Colonel, can you calculate the distance from us from the explosion point?"

Djokovic stretched out his arm, measured it, and then said: "The current line of sight is not good, and the measurement error is very large, about 12-15 kilometers." And the warships that shoot at this weapon are about 2-3 km from us, that is, the range of this weapon is about 9-12 km. ”

Nepokadev said: "In terms of effective range, the range of this weapon has surpassed all the artillery of this era. My God, what kind of weapon is this? ”

Djokovic's face was solemn, and he said: "General, I think the range is secondary, one thing you should have noticed is that this weapon seems to hit a warship with every shot, which is the most terrifying." ”

Nepokadev was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it seriously, it was true, he couldn't help but sweat profusely, this weapon not only hit far, but also accurately, which is really terrible.

Djokovic said: "We used to focus most of our attention on Japan, it seems that this is a major mistake, we really underestimate the overseas Chinese, this is a more terrible enemy than Japan." ”

―――――――― Divider ――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

The Huaihua fired six Haihongqi-7* in one go, hitting 3 destroyers and 3 boats, while the Xiangyang fired 5 Haihongqi-7*, hitting 3 destroyers and 2 boats.

At this time, both ships received an order from the Kunming to stop using the Haihongqi 7* and use naval guns to attack these small warships, and they could let these small warships travel within 7 kilometers and at the same time swim within 5 kilometers nearby.

Originally, the Northern Fleet was ordered to attack the Japanese warships gathered near Tsushima Island, but after these warships saw the Northern Fleet, they had no intention of fighting at all, and they scattered and fled; although the strength of the Northern Fleet was far above that of this group of Japanese ships, it was impossible for them to intercept all of them if they wanted to escape, first, because the number of warships of the Northern Fleet was insufficient; second, the Northern Fleet did not fully deploy and formed a siege on these Japanese ships.

However, the Northern Fleet also made a decisive decision, immediately dispersed the fleet, and fought as a unit of sub-fleets, destroying as many Japanese ships as possible. The armored cruiser detachment firmly focused on the two strongest warships in this batch of Japanese ships, the Kasuga and the Nisshin. After all, the Asama and Iwate had already been released, and these two warships couldn't let them escape anymore.

Although Kasuga and Nisshin chose to flee to the inland sea of Tsushima Island, Tsushima Island is not an island, but consists of two large islands, Upper Island and Lower Island, and three small islands nearby, and the five islands form an inland sea with complex topography. The two warships hope to take advantage of the complex terrain of the sea area to avoid the pursuit of the KPA Navy.

Not only did the Nachi Kasuga and Nisshin not evade pursuit, but because of the narrow sea area in this area, they were blocked by the armored cruiser detachment of the KPA Navy, but before the battle, the KPA Navy still issued a flag demanding surrender like two Japanese ships, and the two Japanese responded with a round of shelling. Although the Japanese Navy does not like to play with jade shattering, it is a common characteristic of Japanese soldiers not to surrender, so they were forced to this point, and they could only fight to the death.

But these two armored cruisers, of course, could not be the opposite of four armored cruisers. Since the Japanese themselves were looking for death, then the KPA Navy was not polite, the four warships were in full swing, the battle ended in less than 10 minutes, Kasuga was hit by more than 70 shells, of which 200 mm shells were taken 23 rounds, and sank into the water; while the Nisshin was a little more lucky, was hit by more than 50 bullets, and when the hull entered the water and sank, it ran aground near the shore. KPA also stopped its main artillery attacks and switched to using small and medium-caliber guns to wash decks. After the deck of the Nisshin was emptied, soldiers were dispatched to board the ship.

The other squadrons were also looking for their own targets, some fighting, some chasing, but a dozen warships escaped the battlefield, most of them coming to the places where the KPA Navy had gathered and anchored.

Because there were too many warships coming over this time, it was not enough to shoot all the Haihongqi 7*, so Shang Jinfeng decided to switch to naval guns, and the 130 mm naval guns assembled by the Kunming ship were also considered strong in this era, and there were still 134 shells in stock; and the twin 100 mm naval guns of the Xiangyang and Huaihua ships were not weak, and the reserve ammunition was more than 200 rounds, although the accuracy of the naval guns was not as good as *, but it was also more than 50%, which was completely sufficient.

And at this time, the sky has gradually darkened, this is the opportunity for the Kunming, Xiangyang, and Huaihua warships to show their skills, because for these three warships, there is not much difference between day and night, so these three modern warships frequently opened fire, and the fire from the muzzles flashed one after another, and the Japanese warships were hit one by one, and there were constantly flames on the sea.

In the shelling just now, the Kunming ship sank two cruisers, three destroyers, and one boat, the Xiangyang ship sank two destroyers and two boats, and the Huaihua ship sank two destroyers and one boat. Although some Japanese ships escaped the shelling of three warships, most of them were sunk.

And the officers and men who crossed the three modern warships were very excited, after all, they finally had a good time on the battlefield, after all, it is indeed more enjoyable to bombard with artillery than to fight with *, even if it is to use the small water pipes on modern warships.

In addition, on another battlefield, the Eastern Fleet engaged in a fierce battle with the last remaining Russian fleet, and the result was not to worry, the battle lasted less than 15 minutes, the Russian ships Admiral Nasimov and Dmitry Donskoy were sunk, and the Monomakh and two destroyers chose to surrender.

And the Northern Fleet also ended the battle, the armored cruiser formation went to the price of the death of 8 soldiers on board, and finally took control of the Nisshin, and only 17 Japanese soldiers on the ship surrendered or were captured, and the rest were either killed in battle or committed suicide, but finally captured the armored cruiser, of course, a professional engineering ship was needed to come over and carry out simple repairs to the warship before it could be towed away.

In other battles, the KPA Navy captured only 4 Japanese ships, 2 cruisers, and 2 destroyers, and none of them surrendered on their own initiative, but were warships that were basically incapacitated by the KPA Navy, and then engaged in broadside jumping, and captured after a fierce battle. In a desperate situation, many Japanese ships still refused to surrender to the KPA Navy, chose to resist to the end, and were eventually sunk.

By 8:20 p.m., the entire battle was basically over, and of course a Japanese battleship, the Shikishima, ran aground, and the Yueyang ship was in charge of monitoring the warship, waiting for daybreak before jumping ship.
