"Pay attention to speed control, our power system is no longer working, and there may be problems in the case of strong pressure ventilation!" Hippert kept reminding Yang Yonglin, and the latter also rationally maintained the speed at about 8 knots, and there was only one chance to kill the Chiyoda, but it was definitely not now!

The Japanese fleet was as agile as a pack of wolves, and they circled around the Kaiyuan in a huge circle, even if the tiger in front of them had run out of oil, but it was still a tiger! Its outstanding achievements were fought against the Japanese fleet!

The Japanese fleet finally chose to cut into the battlefield from the northwest, they would cut diagonally from the front of the Kaiyuan, and according to the normal way of playing, the battleship would choose to sail in parallel, and then suffocate the opponent with a dense cannonball, and after a safe and typical battle line engagement, the Japanese could be victorious!

"The only chance is to cross-cut the Japanese fleet when the other side is rushing towards us, forcibly tear the opponent in two, and then find an opportunity to take out the cruiser Chiyoda." Count Spee was still dutifully in his role as Chief of Staff, and he made his own proposal from the point of view of an expert in gunnery, and the fleet took advantage of the chaos to cut and then suffocate Chiyoda with dense artillery, and then take out the opponent with heavy artillery or torpedoes! As for the rest of the matter, it can only be left to fate!

Boom, boom, boom! The Japanese opened fire! At a distance of 2,500 meters, 4 Japanese cruisers fired a dense barrage of shells, and as the Japanese expected, the Kaiyuan began to turn and aimed its scarred sidestrings at the opponent! The remaining artillery began to assign targets, single-handedly suppressing three enemy ships at once!

"You've lost your last chance! Yang Yonglin! You have made our sacrifice and blood worthless! "In the midst of the explosion and the flames, the Count of Spee cursed loudly! Just now, Yang Yonglin did not adopt Earl Spee's style of play! Instead, the most conservative and unpromising tactics were used, fighting on parallel battle lines!

With a "boom", the whole command tower shook suddenly, and Count Spee shook and did not stand firmly, and fell to the table on the side, and at this time a pair of large hands held it. "Believe me, Chiyoda will be finished." Yang Yonglin's voice sounded beside him.

"There is no suspense in such an engagement!" Countless shells rained down on Kaiyuan's body, clusters of bright yellow flames exploded on the surface of the ship, and the violent explosion blew the flames to spread around, at this time any attempt to extinguish the fire was close to futility, the Japanese high-explosive shells continued to sweep the entire deck, and it was almost impossible for anyone to survive more than 30 seconds without protection.

Under the repeated blows of the shells, the hard Krupp armor will also collapse, and the impact and explosion of the shells will test the defense system of the battleship again and again, and after all, the relatively fragile parts will be broken, and many of the connecting parts of the upper unarmored belt will be destroyed, and Liudin will be ejected by violent vibrations, and then the entire armor plate will be lifted up in a violent explosion! Countless shrapnel and flames then poured into the cabin from the breach.

Compared to the current Kaiyuan, the Kasuga is too strong, and the Takasago is also a ruthless character that is difficult to provoke, and the Kaiyuan is now in the middle of the Japanese fleet! Only the artillery fire of the Takasago and Chiyoda had a good angle of attack. At this time, the slow speed of the Kaiyuan also seemed to be an advantage, and when passing in front of the Kaiyuan at a speed of 12 knots, the Japanese were depressed to find that they were too much faster than the Kaiyuan, so that they quickly missed their opponents.

After a while, the Japanese reluctantly reduced their speed, set the speed at about 8 knots, almost stationary with the opposite side, and then began to attack the opponent step by step, until the opponent sank, or surrendered? At this time, the Kaiyuan's defense was more troublesome than its remaining firepower to the Japanese, the effect of dense high-explosive shells was still limited, and the effect of armor-piercing shells was not as good as the former, if nothing else, the battle would last for a while!

"It seems that there is already a war." Not long after the two sides fought, a British cruiser gradually approached the battlefield, if you talk about the ability to collect intelligence at sea, the British are definitely the most powerful existence in the Far East at present, and the last time the Kaiyuan will be targeted by the opponent, it is the masterpiece of the British! The last battle in the Far East was over, and the British wanted to see how the war would end.

"Even if there are well-trained naval officers and men, coupled with the strong combat effectiveness of the Kaiyuan, it still can't change the result, the Beiyang Naval Division is worthy of the name of elite, and they failed in strategy and country." Major Carlson said with a sigh. There was admiration in his tone.

So this is the fundamental reason why the empire supported Japan and not the Qing state! The Qing could not meet the needs of the empire, only Japan could. It is a brand new country with a strong vitality and ambition. Major General Filimante paused and continued: "However, in keeping with humanitarian and chivalric principles, once the fighting is over, we need to quickly isolate the warring parties. to prevent something unforeseen from happening again. ”

Fermant came with a cruiser not only to watch the battle, but more importantly to "avoid the intensification of the German-Japanese conflict!" "After all, there are still a large number of Germans in Kaiyuan, and now German-Japanese relations are at a very delicate stage, and there are calls for reconciliation within the German government, and it would ...... if something happened at this time. The consequences are unimaginable!

"The Japanese are a bunch of beasts." Major Carlson's words were full of mockery, "And not just because of the atrocities they committed in Korea and the northeastern Qing Dynasty!" What's more, they have muscles in their brains! Reckless box beasts, or rather, mad dogs! They simply do not understand strategy, and the relationship between the army and the government! The army is a sword in the hands of the government, and people must command the sword, but the sword cannot command people! ”

And just as the British were approaching the battlefield, the other fleet agreed to approach the battlefield as well, but unlike the relaxed British, this fleet was full of murderous energy! If the British were "trying" to avoid a tragedy, then the German fleet was to prevent it at all costs!

"What if we're late?" A German officer asked.

"Then just like His Royal Highness the Prince did, send all the Japanese into the sea!" Scheer said without hesitation that he had been authorized to use force in the country for a limited time!
