Chapter 385: The Battle of Tsushima (11)

"Captain, the warship of Little Japan has turned, it seems that it is going to run, shall we chase or continue to turn, and cut their 'T' crossheads!"

In fact, there is no need to remind Wang Hailong that Wang Hailong has already seen from the display screen that the flagship of the 2nd Squadron of the Combined Fleet is turning to the right, and it should be said that the timing of the 2nd Squadron's turn is very good, if it turns early, the People's Army Navy will have no chance of cross-cutting, and can only rely on speed to chase hard, and if it turns late, the People's Army Navy can take the lead in cross-cutting. Therefore, Wang Hailong touched his chin and said, "Didn't you say that Little Japan is all dead-brained, and if you can't beat it, you will break it, and you will never run away?"

Political Commissar Cai Ning said with a smile: "That's something, it's true that the devil's mind is tendoned, but it's not that everyone is not afraid of death, and the army is broken at every turn, and there are still some normal people in the Japanese navy, after all, the navy is a highly knowledgeable service, and people with knowledge are relatively less affected by that kind of militarist propaganda." ”

Wang Hailong nodded and said, "Use the computer to simulate, if you cut it cross-cutting now, what will be the result." ”

About 1 minute later, the results of the simulation came out, and the operator Wang Zhongdao said: "The results of the computer simulation, if our fleet turns to cut the head now, it can stop the four warships behind, but the Izumo and Iwate can successfully escape from the battlefield, and if we continue to chase and keep the current speed and course unchanged, it will take about 35 minutes... No... It's 47 minutes... The Devil's warship is accelerating, and now it's at 20.3 knots, and it's still accelerating. ”

Cai Ning said: "They must have used strong pressure ventilation to speed up the warship, what should we do now." ”

Wang Hailong said: "Order the fleet to turn around immediately, cut the Japanese fleet horizontally, and tell them that none of the four warships behind can be let go." ”

Cai Ning said: "What about the Izumo and the Iwate?

Wang Hailong said: "Of course I won't let them go, but the food has to be eaten bite by bite, eat their 4 warships first, they can't escape far if they want to, there is still the Southern Fleet in the south, and if it doesn't work, we can still use * to attack, they can escape there." ”

Cai Ning listened, nodded as well, and said, "That makes sense." ”

At this time, Wang Hailong slapped the table and said, "It's really not fun to hit them with *, so it's better to use a cannon to bombard." ”

After receiving the order from the Yueyang ship, the Red Rabbit immediately turned right and cut across the 2nd Sentai team, and behind the Red Rabbit, the Jueying also turned together. In the second team, the Izumo and Iwate have already completed the turn, and the Asama in third place has also begun to turn. However, it was too late, and the Asama's turn was only half completed, and it was cut into front by the Red Rabbit, and it was unable to break through again. Izumo and Iwate, who were not intercepted by the KPA fleet, were at full speed and fled from the battlefield as quickly as possible.

The People's Army fleet was seized by the "T" cross, and the fate of the next four Japanese warships was decided, and these Japanese warships also knew that they could not escape, so they simply did not run away, but had no other thoughts, but could only fight to the death.

Now the second Sentai team is headed by the Asama, and the distance between the Red Rabbit and the Red Rabbit that stopped them is less than 1,500 meters, so they have full fire and bombard the Red Rabbit. And the Red Rabbit was naturally not to be outdone, and fought back with all its might.

At this distance, the hit rate of both sides was very early, but the Asama was the bow against the enemy, so only the two main guns in the bow could fire, and the Red Rabbit was not only on the side against the enemy, but also the main guns were twice as many as the opponent, so they bombarded each other, naturally the Asama suffered a big loss, and the two sides only carried out 3 or 4 rounds of bombardment, and the Asama had already suffered 9 guns, and there were shots on the side, deck, bridge, etc., and only hit the opponent's 3 guns.

Of course, the Asama also knew that it would be bad for him to continue fighting like this, so he fired at the Red Rabbit while desperately turning, this time of course, not trying to escape, but hoping to let his side meet the opponent so that he could use his full firepower.

But at this moment, the Jereshadow also joined the battle group and opened fire on the Asama, and a series of shots hit the aft deck of the Asama, destroying the Asama's rear main gun and smashing the stern to pieces.

Under the combined attack of the two famous Koma-class, the Asama was suddenly unable to parry, and there was almost no intact place on the entire upper deck, and even the headquarters was hit by three shots, which were twisted and deformed, and the front and rear masts were also broken, and the side was pierced through 2 large holes, and cracked in many places, and the sea water poured into the ship's hull, causing the warship's draft to sink more than a meter.

Seeing that the Asama's momentum was gone, the Akatsu continued to fire on the Asama, maintaining pressure on the Asama, and at the same time gave the order for the destroyer to come over and launch at the Asama at close range*, completely sinking Asama, while the Shadow turned back to support the other warships.

As a result, the four warships of the 3rd destroyer squadron immediately rushed from the outside line, and under the cover of the Akatu, approached the Asama, and each fired a shot* at the Asama, but two shots* missed, and the Asama was able to move and dodge one shot under the fierce blow of the Akatu, but one more shot was really impossible to dodge and was hit in front of the starboard side; and the four destroyers saw this, and immediately fired another shot* at the Asama, and this time the 4 shots* hit 3 shots.

In fact, before the destroyer attacked, the Asama had been beaten half to death, and after the first shot*, the Asama was already hopeless, of course, it could struggle for a while, and it was hit by 3 shots in a row*, so naturally it was too dead to die again, and it only took ten minutes before it sank completely.

Without the Izumo and Iwate, the advantage of the People's Army was actually unshakable, and when the Red Rabbit and the Jeep were sandwiched against the Asama, the Jinan and Tianjin also joined forces against the Changxin.

For a time, the artillery of both sides roared, and the fighting was very fierce, although Chang Xin was one enemy and two, but the tonnage was 2,500 tons larger, and it was on the side of the enemy, so that their firepower could be fully exerted, so although it was downwind, it could still maintain the power of counterattack, and it was not completely vulnerable. Of course, this is also related to the lack of experience of the People's Army Navy, and the Jinan and Tianjin also used broadside firepower to bombard the Chang Xin, but did not expect to send out a warship to seize the cross head of the Chang Xin.

However, the stalemate did not last long, after the Absolute Shadow joined the battle group, Chang Xin naturally couldn't bear it, and as a result, under the combined strike of the three warships, dozens of bullets were hit, and the superstructure, mast, and chimney were almost disrupted, and the side side was pierced through three gaps, and then another 155 shell was fired through a gap, and as a result, it hit the rear ammunition depot, causing a large explosion inside the hull, and the entire stern was almost blown up, and it quickly went up and down, sinking to the bottom of the sea.

The Yashima and Azuma are fighting with the 4 Qingzhou-class protective cruisers, although the Yashima and Azuma were both severely damaged, and the front and rear main guns of the Yashima were destroyed, but after all, they are two armored cruisers of nearly 10,000 tons, and the main gun caliber of the 4 Qingzhou-class protective cruisers is only 155 mm, and it is difficult to inflict a fatal blow on these two armored cruisers. However, after the Izumo and Iwate escaped, the People's Army Navy basically had the chance to win, so the four Qingzhou-class protective cruisers were not in a hurry, just entangled these two armored cruisers, and only waited for their armored cruisers to free up their hands to support.

However, although the firepower of the four Qingzhou-class protective cruisers is not large, the delivery density is not small, and even if they cannot be sunk, they can wash the deck with artillery fire, so most of the shipboard weapons on the upper decks of the Yashima and Azuma were destroyed.

Sure enough, after the Red Rabbit, Jueying, Jinan, and Tianjin solved their opponents, the fate of the Yashima and Azuma came to an end. The two armored cruisers were surrounded by 8 warships. However, instead of launching an attack immediately, he raised a flag demanding the surrender of the two warships, and promised to ensure the dignity and personal safety of the officers and men of the two warships after the surrender.

It turned out that the escape of the Izumo and Iwate made Wang Hailong think that it was possible to force the two warships to surrender, and if the two armored cruisers of nearly 10,000 tons could be captured, then the credit would be far greater than sinking them. Moreover, the age of the Yashima and Azuma ships is only five years old, and the technical level is not outdated; although the heavy damage is heavier and most of the ship's weapons have been destroyed, the power system is still good, and with the current industrial capacity of the East China Government, it can be completely repaired; if these two warships are really captured and incorporated into the People's Army Navy after repair, of course, the strength of the People's Army Navy can be greatly enhanced.

However, in the face of the persuasion of the KPA Navy, the Yashima and Azuma chose to sink themselves rather than surrender. In fact, the escape of the Izumo and Iwate is not the fear of death, but the fear of facing unknown weapons, so the Yashima and Azuma will naturally not surrender, and now they can't fight and fight, and they can't escape and escape, even if they want to fight and pull an enemy warship on their backs, but most of the ship's weapons have been destroyed, and it is estimated that they can't do it, so they can only sink into pieces, and most of the soldiers on the ship have sunk into the sea with the warship, and only a few soldiers escaped by grabbing lifebuoys and other objects after the warship sank.

Wang Hailong was so angry that he stomped his feet on the Yueyang ship and scolded, what navy is a highly knowledgeable branch, what soldiers have knowledge, or a group of dead brains, they only know that the jade is broken, and they have ruined two good warships in vain. However, the battle ended in the victory of the KPA Navy, although two warships escaped, four were sunk, and not only was not a single warship sunk on their side, although there was some damage to each ship, but it was not a major problem, and the battle could still be continued, so it was also a brilliant victory.

Of course, this was only a local battlefield in this battle, and the battle was not over yet, so Wang Hailong ordered that a destroyer detachment be left to rescue the Japanese soldiers who had fallen into the water, and the rest of the warships marched south in line to continue to participate in the battle.
