Rumble! A column of smoke rose from the battlefield, and then a violent explosion reached the ears of the officers and soldiers on both sides, and just a few seconds earlier, a 280mm shell pierced the hull plate of the Itsukushima's waterline, and then hit the ammunition depot under the main turret of Itsukushima without hindrance! For a battleship that did not even have an armored belt for the waterline, this blow was undoubtedly fatal!

In less than 1 second, the fuse ignited more than a dozen kilograms of ******** in the body of the projectile, and the entire ammunition depot was ignited in an instant! The sky-high flames sliced the battleship in half like a sharp sword! Even the half-pulled hull was blown to pieces! This battleship, once proud of the Japanese, struggled on the surface of the sea for less than ten minutes and sank to the bottom of the sea! At this time, Yang Yonglin's fleet and his opponent are 3V3! If nothing else, the other 3 Japanese cruisers will survive only in minutes!

However, the superiority of the local battlefield could not determine the outcome of this war, and when the half-pulled hull of the Itsukushima was still floating on the water, the Japanese fast fleet led by the Kasuga was like a speeding cavalry, and the flanks of the Beiyang Fleet were in a mess!

In history, the two outdated cruisers only lasted half an hour under the blow of the First Guerrilla Fleet, and in this plane, it took less than 20 minutes for the enhanced version of Yiyou to kill the other party! A first-class cruiser, two top-notch second-class cruisers and a third-class cruiser, with more than 30 rapid-fire guns of medium caliber or above on the side chord, cleanly smashed the two old cruisers into pieces with high-explosive shells, and in just a short staggered pass, the Beiyang Fleet lost two battleships!

However, the sacrifice of Chaoyong and Yangwei was not meaningless, the main force of the Beiyang Fleet led by Dingzhen had been inserted into the formation of another 5 Japanese cruisers, and 12 battleships on both sides were in a mess! And in this battle of old ships, the Beiyang Fleet once again played an advantage!

The first to be besieged was the pillar of the Japanese Navy in the 70s, the main force in the 80s, and the soy sauce in the 90s - the ironclad ship Fuso, the former hegemon of the Far East was dying of old age at this time! And what is good is that this battleship happened to be blocked by two ironclad ships in Dingzhen!

7 medium-caliber rapid-fire guns and several 305MM cannons of the two battleships smashed directly into the Fuso! Although both sides of the war have the names of ironclad ships, it is clear that the gold content in them is not the same! The armor belt of Dingzhen is thick and high, while the armor belt of Fusang has neither height nor thickness, and is not only afraid of large-caliber artillery, but also afraid of sweeping the deck! There are almost no advantages!

With a dazzling red fireball flying out of the muzzle, the 305MML25 large-caliber naval gun suddenly retreated, and then with the help of the reset machine, it was replaced with, although the terrace gun was still used, although the loading equipment was still outdated, but because of the use of new smokeless gunpowder, the aiming speed of the gun was increased, and the rate of fire was also increased to a certain extent. And the high-explosive shells filled with picric acid explosives made these cannons lethal weapons! At a distance of 1,500 meters, Dingyuan made its first hit!

This shell was accurately concentrated in the gun room in the middle of the hull of the Fuso, and the fundamental reason why the Fuso is called the gun room battleship is that most of its firepower is concentrated in the gun room in the middle of the hull! ITS MOST IMPORTANT ARMAMENT, 4 240MM GUNS, IS IN THE GUN ROOM! And there is not even a compartment!

THIS 305MM HEAVY GUN ACHIEVED A HOME RUN! AFTER DESTROYING A 240MM GUN, SCATTERED SHRAPNEL SIMULTANEOUSLY DETONATED THE AMMUNITION STACKED NEXT TO IT! Then, a series of explosions erupted from the gun room, and fire dragons erupted from the gun ports and the broken deck. The entire gun room was like a huge torch, and the raging fire spread to the entire deck!

And then the rapid-fire guns on the side chords of the two ironclad ships also kept tilting high-explosive shells towards each other! Coupled with the machine gun fire on the battle mast, countless shrapnel harvested the Japanese naval officers and men trying to put out the fire, and the rain of bullets tore a person into a ball of minced flesh like a fluctuating beast, leaving only a pool of blood or charred corpses, indicating that there was once a living person here!

The battleship, which was commissioned in 1878, struggled under the attack of two warships, countless shells jumped on the hull side chords and decks, flames and smoke even penetrated into the engine room, and the stokers who were caught off guard were either burned to death or suffocated, and under the scorching flames, the pipes and boilers failed, and it was really difficult for this battleship that had been nearby for 16 years to hold on!

On the other side, under the command of Lin Yongsheng, Jingyuan and Laiyuan bit the Kaohsiung and Tsukushi to the death. Although Jingyuan can only be regarded as average, relying on limited armor protection and relatively excellent artillery skills, the two Beiyang ironclad ships still suppressed the opponent! The slow and accurate firing temporarily wounded the Tsukushi and withdrew from the battle, while the Kaohsiung had to face a rain of bullets from six medium-caliber guns.

Kaohsiung's wooden shell was obviously the best fuel for the flames, and the blue-green flames emitting deadly poisonous gases spread along the planks in all directions, and the steel frame began to deform and brittle under the scorching flames. With a tooth-aching twisting sound, the Kaohsiung's hull structure collapsed in pieces, the Japanese soldiers who had no time to dodge were burned to charcoal, and the heart-rending wails of the burned before death and the explosion of shells turned the entire battleship into a purgatory!

But at this time, the 4 fast cruisers led by the Kasuga completed a double kill again! The two battleships Guangjia and Guangbing, which were relatively backward, were destroyed by dense rapid-fire guns and high-explosive shells, and then, the four cruisers drew a circle on the sea and sailed towards the Pingyuan!

When the rapid-fire artillery on the Kasuga shrouded the Pingyuan, a loud bang was heard again on the battlefield in the distance! A huge fireball rises into the air, which means that another battleship has been destroyed! The hapless boy Hashidate, finally can't bear it! Although it was not hit by the main gun of the Kaiyuan, the fire caused by the high-explosive bomb still spread along the hull of the ship, and ignited the propellant pack on the egg supply equipment, accompanied by a series of explosions, the stern part of the entire battleship quickly entered the water, under the action of gravity, even the capital of the ship was slightly warped, accompanied by the tooth-sore sound of metal breaking and the sound of structural collapse, the battleship was finally finished!

"Admiral Ding may not be able to hold on." Scheer looked at the Beiyang Fleet team surrounded by a group of Japanese ships in the distance, and said with some concern. At this time, Ding Ruchang only had 5 warships under his command, of which the Pingyuan would soon be destroyed, and in the face of the fierce firepower of the 4 cruisers, the Pingyuan could not run away and could not be defeated.

And if one cruiser after another is destroyed, then under the cover of the fire of the Japanese fleet, the success rate of lightning strikes will be very high. The Japanese torpedo boats, which had been hovering around the periphery of the battlefield, were like sharks smelling blood, ready to rush up and take a bite at any time!
