The Yizhou stopped the Rotterdam head-on, just in front of the Rotterdam with the port side, and the distance between the two sides was only more than 200 meters at this time. So the eight 155-mm main guns, eight 100-mm secondary guns, and eight 50-mm rapid-fire guns on the Yizhou side opened fire with all their might, and for a time all kinds of shells were like hail raindrops, shooting towards the Rotterdam.

In the previous battle, the front main gun of the Rotterdam has been destroyed, and now it can only use two 100 mm caliber secondary guns to return fire, which is almost no threat to the Yizhou, and at this time the distance between the two sides is too close, even if the cannon is fired indiscriminately with his eyes closed, he can hit a few shots, so the hit rate of the Yizhou is surprisingly high, almost reaching more than 7 percent, and as a result, in less than 1 minute when the Yizhou cross-cut from the bow of the Rotterdam, more than 200 rounds of various shells were poured into the Rotterdam, and the bow of the Rotterdam was almost covered by a series of explosions。 Of course, the shells of 50-mm rapid-fire guns accounted for more than half.

Despite this, it is enough for the Rotterdam to drink a pot, after all, the Rotterdam is only a protective cruiser, and the bow part of the ship is one of the weakest areas of the warship's protection, and even the dome armor is generally not laid to the bow position. This is because after the column tactics of naval warfare replaced the horizontal team tactics, the probability of being shot in the bow of the ship became very low, so when designing a warship, it was natural that more armor would not be put in the bow of the ship.

As a result, after the Yizhou cut through the bow of the Rotterdam, the smoke gradually dissipated, and I saw that the bow of the Rotterdam was almost beaten into a sieve, and there were thousands of holes, and there was no good place at all, and through the holes in the bow, it could be seen very clearly that a large amount of seawater was pouring in from the waterline of the bow, and the whole warship was already in a state of obvious low in front and high in the back.

Lei Meng was pecking whether to send a few more shots to the Rotterdam and send it on the road completely, when he heard the voice of a helicopter on the radio: "Yizhou, Yizhou, the enemy's No. 5 and No. 6 ships have been outflanked from the side of the No. 4 ship, suspect that they are going to fire at you*, please pay attention." ”

The radio prompt was not over, but another warning came from the lookout, "The right front has spotted an enemy warship approaching our ship. ”

When Lei Meng heard this, he also made a big jump, and immediately ordered the warship to turn to the left, so that the right side of the warship was facing the enemy ship, and at the same time the right side of the gun opened fire.

Originally, the No. 5 and No. 6 ships of the Dutch fleet arranged by the People's Army Navy were two destroyers with a tonnage of only more than 400 tons, and the main guns were one 100 mm caliber naval gun in the front and rear, and their combat effectiveness was almost insignificant. Therefore, in the battle line of the Dutch fleet, these two warships were placed at the end of the formation.

But neither the KPA Navy, nor the Dutch fleet, counted the combat effectiveness of these two small ships, including *. Although * is also a powerful weapon in this era, one shot * is enough to sink a 10,000-ton ship, but * technology is still very backward, in order to really kill the enemy ship, you must get close to the enemy ship about 500 meters to cast * to have a practical effect, if the distance is farther, * will deviate from the direction in the process of traveling. But when the * boat drove to this position, it was basically sunk, so in this era, the role of the * boat is generally to cooperate with the main warship to scratch the enemy's warship. Or it is used to sink the opponent's transport ship.

In fact, when the Yizhou cut in from the bow of the Rotterdam, the captain of the Rotterdam knew that the situation was not good, and hurriedly beckoned the boat to come up and shoot, interfering with the other party, so that he could take the opportunity to get out. But at this time, the two * boats were blocked by the Rotterdam, and they were afraid that * would accidentally injure their own people, so they had to give up a certain angle to launch *, which required a certain amount of time to adjust, and the speed of the Yizhou cross-cutting was too fast, so by the time the * boat flashed out of the angle, the Rotterdam had been beaten by the Yizhou to death.

At this time, a *boat had already approached a position only 500 meters away from the Yizhou, which was the effective distance of the launch*, so this *boat fired 4 shots in a row at the Yizhou ship in one go, in the shape of a fan, and fired at the Yizhou ship. If there is no helicopter reminder, I am afraid that it will really be taken by surprise, but now the Yizhou has taken precautions early, and avoided the training of *, I know how many times I have practiced, so the Yizhou unhurriedly adjusted the direction and drew an arc on the sea surface, and successfully dodged the attack of * in the gap between the 3rd and 4th shots.

At this time, the boat had just turned around, and before it escaped 10 meters away, the Yizhou immediately aimed and fired, and more than a dozen guns fired together, suddenly forming a barrage area, covering the * boat inside, at least 5 or 6 shells hit, this small boat of only more than 400 tons could withstand such a blow, and was immediately broken to pieces, waiting on the sea surface to sink. The other * boat was about 1,000 meters away from the Yizhou, and seeing that the situation was not good, it hurriedly fired two shots at the Yizhou first, and then released smoke and turned to flee.

Lei Meng hesitated for a moment, and only ordered a few shots to be fired into the smoke, and if he couldn't hit, he would be left to his fate, but he didn't give the order to chase. Looking back at the Rotterdam, I saw that the bow of the warship had almost completely sunk into the sea, and the stern had been warped out of the sea, and the tail rudder and propeller could be seen, so it seemed that the warship could not hold out for long. The Dutch soldiers on the warship were jumping into the sea one after another to escape, and for a while, the sinking warship was surrounded by Dutch soldiers, like dumplings.

It seems that this warship has no need to make up for it anymore, and at this time, the helicopter is reminding the Yizhou to support the Qingzhou, so Lei Meng also immediately ordered the warship to turn around and support the Qingzhou.

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

After cutting into the array of the Dutch fleet, the Qingzhou faced the stern of the Tilburg on the port side, and the distance was about the same as that of the Yizhou, both of which were more than 200 meters. Although the port side of the Qingzhou was destroyed with a twin 100 mm turret, all other port guns were concentrated and the attack on the Tilburg was launched.

However, there was a 210 mm caliber main gun in the stern of the Tilburg, which also fired back, because the distance between the two sides was too close, so the first shot hit a twin 155 mm caliber turret on the left rear of the Qingzhou, and the 210 mm shell was so powerful that the turret was blown up more than 10 meters high and fell into the sea, and several soldiers in the turret were all killed on the spot.

But that was the end of the Tilburg's luck, and just after this shot, a dozen shells of different sizes landed on the stern of the Tilburg, and although they were not as powerful as the 210 mm shells, there were so many of them that the turret of the main gun was suddenly blown up, and the entire aft deck was blown up beyond recognition.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Tilburg hurriedly released smoke in an attempt to interfere with the shooting of the Qingzhou, but at this time, the turret of the Qingzhou had already set the shooting parameters, so it didn't matter whether it was visible or not, it was like a cannon bombardment in the smoke, and more than a dozen guns formed a dense barrage cover, and the Tilburg was still continuously shelled. The entire stern of the ship was almost destroyed, even the tail rudder and propeller were also damaged, and as a result, although the warship still had combat effectiveness, it had lost power and could only float half-dead on the sea.

After cutting through the Dutch fleet, the Qingzhou immediately turned around, ready to give the Tilburg another round of strikes and completely send the Tilburg on the road, but at this time, the helicopter told the Qingzhou that the flagship of the Dutch fleet was turning, and suggested that the Qingzhou immediately catch up, follow the No. 2 ship from the outside, and chase the Dutch fleet.

After listening to the helicopter's suggestion, Zhang Wei immediately ordered to bypass the Tilburg and pursue the last two warships of the Dutch fleet. However, the Jingzhou did not let go of the Tilburg, although it was not sunk with a cannon, but it could use the * on the Qingzhou.

Originally, when designing the Qingzhou-class protective cruiser, two triple * launch tubes were designed. At that time, this design caused a lot of controversy, because although the speed of the Qingzhou was fast, it was impossible to approach the enemy warship 500 meters away to launch * attack, so the installation of * launch tubes, and did not have much practical significance, on the contrary, it was the biggest hidden danger of warships, once the * launch tube was hit in battle, it would be a catastrophic consequence. There is a theory that in the First Sino-Japanese War, the Zhiyuan piloted by Deng Shichang was hit by a shell* launch tube when it rushed towards the enemy ship, and an explosion occurred in the tube, causing the Zhiyuan to sink.

However, some people believe that this type of warship was not originally used for sea operations, but to carry out tasks such as breaking diplomatic relations, escorting ships, and patrolling ships, so it still has a certain role, such as being used to attack the enemy's transport ships, or even merchant ships, or in the battle, the enemy and our warships lose power, but they are not sunk, and they cannot be dragged back, they can only be sunk, and * will be useful.

So after several discussions, the design team finally decided to add *, anyway, if it is not easy to use, it will be dismantled, or simply not installed*. And in the first battle, * actually came in handy.

When the Qingzhou and Yizhou left Germany, they were all full, 6 * tubes, only 4 * were brought with them, and the other 2 * tubes were equipped with training *, and *shooting training was also carried out on the way, 2 training * were shot, and two * were shot, and now there are only two * on each warship.

But it was enough to deal with the Tilburg, because the Tilburg had lost momentum. So the Qingzhou launched a * at the rear of the Tilburg, and then bypassed the Tilburg to pursue the other two Dutch warships.

The Dutch soldiers on the Tilburg, on the other hand, could only watch as a white line appeared on the sea, attacking them, but they could not move, so they jumped ship and fled for their lives.

With a loud bang, the Fort Til received a fatal blow and sank in the sea.
