Chapter 64: Burning with Anger

The Mainz escaped from the attack of two Japanese cruisers very smoothly, and the Naniwa, not to mention the old ship from 1885, was designed to be 18.5 knots, and now it can run at a speed of 15 knots. Although Akitsu was fast, he was in the second position, and in order to maintain the formation, his 19-knot high speed could not be played.

The Mainz, on the other hand, staggered through the other side at a speed of 20 knots. When the cheers of the Japanese had not yet fallen, the armored cruiser Mainz, which had already reached the rear of the formation of the Japanese fleet, began to rush towards the rear of Akitsu Prefecture! The two 11-inch main guns and more than a dozen secondary guns on the side chord quickly pointed at the target, and although the high-ranking officers suffered heavy casualties, the front-line gunners did not suffer any losses. The German officers and men angrily aimed their guns at the Japanese cruiser, waiting for the order to attack!

"Fire!" With the roar of the main guns, the armored cruiser Mainz finally showed its hideous face on the battlefield! A rain of bullets like a volcanic eruption instantly covered the cruiser Akitsushu! IN ONE MINUTE, EACH 150MM SECONDARY GUN FIRED AT LEAST 7 SHELLS! Exceeded the theoretical rate of fire of 6 rounds!

"It can't be!" Uemura Hikonosumi felt that his battleship had hit a moving wall of fire, and the storm formed by the flames and debris swept through the entire battleship, and a series of violent explosions continued to sound, accompanied by a loud bang, and the guns of the cruiser Akitsushu were knocked out one by one! At a distance of 2000 meters to 2500 meters, the powerful projection of the armored cruiser Mainz directly drove the 3000-ton cruiser into a corner! In just a few minutes of events, the entire deck seemed to be torn off by ferocious fire!

"We can't pierce it!" When the Japanese officers and soldiers on the Naniwa saw that the sparse shells they fired left a pit on the opponent at most, the spirit of the Japanese officers and soldiers on it was also on the verge of collapse! THE GIANT ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE CARED TOO MUCH ABOUT THIS OLD CRUISER, AND CASUALLY DIVIDED A LITTLE GUN TO HOLD DOWN THE NANIWA, THE 150MM GUN ON THE NANIWA WAS NOT A RAPID-FIRE GUN, TWO SHOTS A MINUTE TO THE SKY, SO THAT IN THE FACE OF OPPONENTS OF THIS LEVEL, THE GERMANS WERE NOT INTERESTED AT ALL!

The Naniwa also tried to struggle and resist, Uemura Hikoyuki ordered the battleship to lean in and fire torpedoes, but each time it was hit back by dense shells, the entire battleship's combat side was hit by dense high-explosive shells, half of the ship's capital was submerged in the water, a fire dragon rolled and flew on the battleship, the blazing flames and highly toxic gases harvested the lives of the Japanese like the scythe of death, and finally someone couldn't help it, they jumped into the sea to try to escape, But such people are often crushed by the water pressure generated by the explosion of the shell! Leave clumps of minced flesh and blood on the surface of the sea!

"Captain, the Akitsu Prefecture is no longer saved, let's withdraw! While we can still go! An officer pointed to the Qiujin Prefecture in the distance, which was beaten and could not take care of itself, and said with a crying voice.

"Yaga!" Heihachiro Togo slapped the subordinate hard. "I can't even tell the situation! Leave now to find death! Can we still outrun that armored cruiser? ”

As the later commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet and the god of the Japanese Navy, Togo Heihachiwolf can at least distinguish the current situation, and now he must not go, he can only wait! After waiting for Yoshino to return, cover each other and evacuate from the battlefield! If you don't go, Yoshino will at least know where he is, and if he finds that the situation is wrong, there will be a chance to rescue, and if he runs away, where will Yoshino find himself? There was no radio in those days!

For Heihachiro Togo, staying is nine deaths, and escaping is ten deaths! So Heihachiro Togo suppressed the fear in his heart and waited for Yoshino's arrival! Of course, Heihachiro Togo can also choose to flee offshore and then take advantage of the shallow draft to get rid of his opponent, but this is also very dangerous! Nine times out of ten, it will run aground! And then he was beaten to death by the other party little by little!

"Captain, it's really too late if you don't leave!" When his subordinates wailed and begged Dongxiang to retreat, a gradually clear silhouette of the ship in the distance made the battle situation change a little!

"Your Royal Highness, it is a Japanese battleship, and judging from its appearance, it should be a British-built second-class cruiser!" Hipper picked up the binoculars and said after observing the approaching battleship himself.

"If it dares to come up, we will kill him and kill this dead fish first!" Prince Ruprecht said, glancing at the cruiser in the distance. Isn't that Yoshino? After carefully calculating the strength of both sides, if the other party dares to come up, he doesn't mind cleaning it up by the way, but if Yoshino wants to leave, the current Mainz cruiser really can't catch up with the other party!

"Quickly move closer to Yoshino!" Heihachiro Togo immediately ordered when he saw Yoshino in the distance, at this time, the Japanese emperor is not as important as this second-class cruiser! After all, the former is just a portrait, while the latter has the potential to be his own savior!

"Dazuo, what should we do?" On the bridge of the Yoshino, an officer pointed to Akitsu Prefecture, which was almost wrecked in the distance.

"Retreat!" Kawahara wanted to squeeze out a few words from the corner of his mouth!

"Okay, when Qiujin Prefecture comes, we'll retreat!" The officer on the side said.

"They're leaving!" Hipper said as he looked at the Naniwa, which was preparing to leave the battlefield.

"Okay, launch a torpedo to sink Akitsu, and then we'll attack the Naniwa!" A sneer appeared at the corner of the traverser's mouth, a miscellaneous fish of this level in Qiujin Prefecture was already a dead fish after 25 minutes of firefighting, all the firepower was lost, and the speed dropped to single digits. In fact, it was just the last torpedo to send it away, and the fundamental reason why it has survived until now is that the traverser is waiting to lure Yoshino over! If Yoshino doesn't come, then turn around and clean up Naniwa, and if Yoshino comes, then clean up together!

When the Naniwa withdrew, the cruiser Mainz stopped shelling and sailed to a distance of only 700 meters from the opposing side, and with the effect of compressed air in the torpedo tubes, two torpedoes flew out of the hull and fell into the water, leaving two white wakes in the water. 2 minutes later, with a loud bang, the cruiser Akitsushu was blown up in two!

"I don't know, if Hikonoyuki Uemura can survive, Essen should thank me!" The traverser glanced at the slowly sinking half-hull of the ship, and then ordered the Mainz to continue the pursuit!

"Hit the mark!" When the huge figure of the Mainz filled Kawahara Keichi's binoculars, and the barrel of the Grim Reaper pointed at this Japanese cruiser that had flaunted its military might in history, Kawahara finally realized that he had made a fatal mistake and that he should not have come! If you don't come, you will die two, and if you come, you may die three! The other party is like a cunning hunter who takes advantage of the luck of the Japanese!

"Send us to the shallow sea, and then you go!" Soon, Heihachiro Togo also realized his mistake, but at this moment, he immediately came up with a remedy.
