More than 15,000 meters, and in the darkness of the night, the Japanese could not accurately measure the range, and moreover, they had not yet entered the firing position.

After receiving the order, the Japanese fleet needed to sail further upstream and approach the area around Shimonoseki Pier before it could be aimed.

The closer the distance, the better the striking effect.

The range of the guns of many Japanese warships was within 10,000 meters, and those 100-millimeter cannons had to move the entire fleet forward if they wanted to exert their actual combat effectiveness.

The main guns of battleships and cruisers have a very strong firing range, and the farthest range of the main guns of battleships is more than 30,000 meters.

However, the distance is too far to be aimed at confirmation in any case, especially at night.

Relying solely on accurate maps for blind shooting is not a guarantee of results.

When the Japanese fleet began to move, the Chinese artillery, under the command of Han Feng, attacked the enemy.

Ten cannons, pinpointing the enemy, although the battleship began to move, it took time, slow start.

All the shells hit!

None of them missed the target!

Two shells, 150-mm howitzer shells, on cruisers and destroyers, exploded, blasted open the deck, ignited the fire inside!

The destroyer received two shells, and thick black smoke suddenly came out.

The flames carved entire ships and fleets out of the darkness.

They, the flames of the three battleships, at night, were so conspicuous and hideous on the river.

The battleship is the largest in tonnage, generally with a full displacement of more than 10,000 tons, and the largest Japanese battleship at present has a displacement of more than 40,000 tons!

Such a huge ship is completely fine with a few shells.

Therefore, what Han Feng was sure of was that the four heavy guns were aimed at a battleship and bombarded in one round.

There are no armor-piercing bullets, no special 3 bullets, all of them are blasting grenades, and the power is naturally a little poor.

Even so, four shells damaged the battleship and ignited a large fire.

Hanfeng is aimed at the enemy's mast and bridge positions, with no armor-piercing shells and no aim at the deck.

As a result, the first shot collapsed the bridge and killed the commander of the entire fleet, a certain lieutenant general of the battleship commander who was directing and observing above.

Blow it up!

Gasification!

I couldn't find a little residue and became real cannon fodder.

Four shells also blew the mast beyond recognition, and the fire was raging.

The Japanese army was in disarray.

Tremble with fear!

As soon as they heard the sound of cannon shooting in Jinling City, these Japanese naval officers and soldiers who had suffered a big loss were all apprehensive, and they were able to observe the outside, so they quickly observed, and looked at the Big Dipper with their eyes.

As fast and accurate as a dream, it hit itself, and then, many Japanese officers and soldiers instinctively closed their eyes and secretly prayed not to bombard their own battleship!

But......

In the first round of strikes, the number of Japanese soldiers killed and injured was very limited, and only about 100 people were killed in total.

Including the valiant and conscientious, hapless vice admiral, the commander of the battleship of the flagship.

However, in the group of enemy fleets, four large candles were lit!

The entire Japanese fleet was exposed from the black night.

This situation was something that the Japanese army could not have imagined.

Why is this happening?

How can the Chinese army see our fleet at night? Can you still aim? Can you still hit so accurately?

Not a single shell is wasted?

Impossible, impossible!

In a naval battle, the fleets of both sides bombarded each other, and ten shells were fired, and it was good to be able to hit one shot.

Unscientific, unreal, my eyes deceived me!

The shock to the Japanese army was extremely huge.

Many Japanese officers and soldiers have already had a psychological breakdown.

They felt that the gods of sunshine no longer favored them.

Many officers and soldiers fainted directly, and they were not frightened much, and the most were angry!

The fleet continued to move forward according to inertia.

Several giant warships, dragging long thick smoke and bright flames, continued upstream.

The captains of some warships were still hesitating, or asked the people in the telegraph room to immediately ask the fleet commander for instructions.

It was a time of transition and chaos.

Some captains ordered the battleships to move forward at full speed, believing that only by speeding up could they avoid the danger of being hit.

According to their inertial thinking, the technical conditions of war at that time, they intuitively thought that the Chinese army had spies!

Where?

Of course, outside the city, on the edge of the Yangtze River, they peeked at the position of the Japanese fleet with telescopes, and then used accurate map drawings to draw and pass them on to the Chinese artillery.

Hehe, as long as our fleet continues to move westward and gets out of that fixed plotted position, your Chinese artillery will be invalid!

In ten seconds, another cannonball roared from Jinling City, hitting the Yangtze River hard!

Boom, boom, boom.

It is not a neat launch, but a sequential and uneven order.

It was the second shot of the artillery of the Chinese army.

This time, except for one artillery fire personally mastered by Han Feng, the rest relied on the artillery themselves to observe and lock, and the enemy fleet was advancing and the position was moving!

However, we are not afraid, because the computer attached to the sighting instrument easily calculates the speed of the movement of the enemy's battleship and gives the amount of advance.

The Japanese battleships have just started up, and the speed is very slow, just a little earlier.

This round of firing hit the Japanese battleship again, and ten shells were still full of color, all hit!

This time, it was lively.

Because, Han Feng's request was to bombard the enemy warship at the same position, bite one and hit it hard.

It's better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt its ten fingers!

It's better to sink a few than to damage all enemy ships!

Two cannons, aimed at one battleship of the enemy, and four cannons, aimed at one battleship of the enemy.

In the darkness, an earth-shattering explosion, on the battleship, burst out again with colorful flames, thunder, electric light, and fire!

This time, it was the one that killed and injured the most Japanese soldiers, and the focus was on the damage management personnel.

When the battleship caught fire, the damage management personnel rushed out one after another, bravely fighting the fire, drawing seawater from the water hose and spraying it on the blazing place.

These people, there were fifty or sixty people on a cruiser, or even more, and some people who were not needed for the time being, and they also came to the vicinity of the deck to help extinguish the fire, and the scene was busy.

At this time, the shells flew over and blew up a large number of Japanese troops.

Like a small toy, in the bloom of a huge gift, it flew away without a trace in an instant.

Some of the devils were directly torn apart by the air waves.

Some were thrown into the river dozens or hundreds of meters away.

The scene was a scene of purgatory.

When the cruiser was shot, it shook violently and crumbled.

Destroyers with smaller tonnage, broken directly from the middle dragon!

After it was broken, it was not broken all at once, but with the surging shaking of the river, it caused resonance, and it shook for a while before it was completely broken.

In this way, one destroyer quickly turned into two toys, quickly entered the water and sank into the surging cold river water.

On the surface of the river, there were some Japanese naval officers and sailors, who were calling for help and swimming, and were swallowed by the huge vortex caused by the sinking of the rapidly sinking battleship!
