Volume VIII 1334 Crash and sink far away

Next chapter

No one can put into words the despair in Stefansky's heart, three minelayers took advantage of the undercurrent in the strait and began to drop mines, and in just one hour three battleships were struck and sunk.

The navy is a very mobile service, and large warships can only be flexible in wide waters, and in such a narrow strait, just avoiding sunken ships is an extremely difficult task.

The smoke and dust of the burning sky obscured the sky, and the slowly sinking battleships were surrounded by frightened and screaming sailors, and even some sunken battleships fell in the shallow sea area and formed a dangerous reef, which could not be said to sink the bottom of their own ships.

At this time, who can still take care of the battle, the captains just dodge the ships and sailors on the sea are enough for him to be busy, but there are too many soldiers who have fallen into the water, and many times the battleships are directly crushed up.

Crying, wailing, and scolding resounded throughout the sea...... But the war situation is already like this, if you don't rush over, you will wait for death, and if you rush over, you will die, and if you die left and right, let God judge right and wrong.

Confusion, loss of speed, loss of firepower superiority, and discouragement...... This is the reality of the Russian Navy, Stefansky is powerless even if he is the god of war, and the Zhiyuan is a completely invincible Grim Reaper before his eyes.

Now all the firepower of the three main guns of the Zhiyuan is concentrated on the St. Peter, and the four frigates that charged for the flagship have all sunk at this moment, and the St. Peter must carefully pass through the wreckage of the battleship, and every time the bow of the ship crushes the soldiers who fall into the water, the commander-in-chief feels a tingling in his heart.

His face was pale, his breath was short, and every time he crushed a soldier, it was as if it were crushing his heart.

"Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, Ci is not in charge of the soldiers! Now no matter how big the casualties are, the battleship is the final guarantee! It doesn't matter how many people die, the battleship must hold on...... Leave the soldiers in the water and get out of the battlefield at an accelerated pace...... The wounded battleship quickly moved forward and made a way out for the army......"

"This is the last order, and from this moment on the flagship will no longer issue any orders...... God bless you!

At the critical moment, Stefansky ordered the command flag to be lowered, and from this moment on, the Russian battleship group lost its flagship. Looking at the slowly descending flag, Stefansky knew that he was dead, ** although he was still breathing, his soul had been taken away by death, and he yelled at the Zhiyuan in despair.

"St. Peter's Assault at full speed! Free Shooting! Crash into it! Sink Far Away!"

The 3,800-ton St. Peter's faithfully carried out the captain's orders, and the four boilers began to increase the pressure, and the remaining sails were able to withstand the wind, although the sails were tattered, but still provided a lot of power bonuses.

The St. Peter has gone crazy, and the officers and men of the whole ship are already red-eyed at this moment, since the launch of this battleship is the pride of the Baltic Navy, they fantasized that this battleship would lose to the British and the French, but they just never thought that this battleship could lose to the Chinese.

Those yellow-skinned Oriental barbarians with pigs' tails, those ignorant people who refuse to admit that the earth is round, heretics who do not believe in God...... Those weak slaves who even lost their capital and did not dare to retaliate must not lose to anyone if they lose to them.

"The enemy's flagship is going to fight hard! They have nothing to do! They want to choose to die together! Open their guns, keep firing, ignore other targets, and concentrate their fire on the St. Peter......"

The Zhiyuan is zigzag on the sea, and at this time you can see the advantage of the guns arranged on the central axis, which is always on the side to meet the enemy, and the three main guns can always rotate to the same target.

Although the keel design of the Zhiyuan was flawed, and the three main guns did not dare to fire a salvo at the same time, it was still possible to fire five or six seconds apart in a dense manner.

Boom Boom Boom ...... After the dull explosion sounded, the pitch black smoke covered the entire deck, and the St. Peter in the distance was like a lone cavalryman charging against a crossbow array, covered in a thousand wounds but not retreating.

The main mast of the battleship was blown off, the tall sails fell diagonally to the sea, and the deck was blown away by the explosion of gas.

4000

The cannons were blown into the sea one by one, and the two salvos of the St. Peter did not dodge a single shot, and all six bullets were hit.

I have to say that being able to become a flagship has proved his strength, so that the Yuan's 210-caliber main gun fired six times, and the St. Peter did not sink, and still stubbornly moved forward!

1800m, 1600m, 1200m...... The burning St. Peter had long since been dumbfounded, and the battleship was littered with corpses, and the soldiers who operated the guns did not know how many pieces had been blown into pieces.

A piece of flesh was wiped out of Stefansky's forehead by shrapnel, and blood poured into his eyes, making the whole world red.

There was no one to bandage the general's wounds, because everyone on the deck was already too busy to take care of themselves, and there was no one to treat the soldiers whose legs and feet had been blown off, let alone the small wound on the general's forehead.

At this moment, the St. Peter is like a dying seriously wounded man, relying entirely on his own little body to climb forward a little bit knowing that it is meaningless, but human beings sometimes just want to do something meaningless to prove that they have lived.

"Forward! Keep going! Sink the Zhiyuan! Break through the blockade of the Chinese......"

Just as Stefansky was talking to himself with red eyes and gritting his teeth, on the remaining rear mast, the standard-bearer shouted loudly, "Report to the general...... The Chinese on the opposite side sent a banner! Xiao, the supreme commander of the Chinese, persuade you to surrender!"

"Repeat, the Supreme Commander of China advises you to surrender ......"

Stefansky's eyes twitched, he never expected that Xiao Letian would not only kill him but also humiliate him severely! Surrender? This is absolutely intolerable for the proud Tsarist warriors.

"Sue him...... The general's fate lies in the burning and disintegrating battleship...... I may be the stupidest general in all of Russia, but I also have the courage to fight to the end!"

"I may be stupid, but I'll never be a coward who surrender......s! Keep banging me!"

Xiao Letian listened to the other party's flag translated by Cai Bixuan, and he shook his head regretfully: "It seems that these Russians will not leave me a single ship of loot! Since this is the case, let's blow it up! Order the mine-laying boats, drop all the mines, and this expeditionary fleet will sleep here!"
