Chapter 728: A Pyrrhic Victory!

"Fire! Fire!.

In the midst of the explosion, the guns of the Fujian fleet of the Chinese Navy roared at the same time.

The Japanese Second Fleet had already begun to rout, and the entire fleet was already in chaos with the sinking of the "Kongo" and "Natori."

The submarine attack continued, and the Chinese Navy ships on the sea continued to burst into cheers, and the whole morale had reached its peak.

The sailors on those ships were eager to smash all the shells and torpedoes out and completely bury the Japanese fleet on this sea......

The sinking of the "Kongo", the flagship of the Second Fleet, was an extremely huge psychological blow to the Japanese Navy.

This unsinkable battleship, which was in the minds of the officers and men of the Second Fleet, is now lying on the cold and terrible bottom of the sea forever with countless corpses

Q:35。 The cruiser "Nagara" began to sink after suffering a number of fatal injuries......

Most of the Japanese naval officers and men on board were killed, and the rest jumped into the icy water, and then watched their beloved warship disappear in front of their eyes little by little.

Subsequently, the Chinese Navy focused on another Japanese battle cruiser, the Hiei.

This is an unusually stubborn battleship, and although it was heavily damaged at the beginning of the sudden attack, it did not panic at all and continued to fight.

The captain of the ship, Shindasa Nakajima, did not panic at this critical moment, but quickly aimed all the available artillery fire on the battleship at the "Sea Chip".

He knew that his other opponents, the battlecruiser "President" and the heavy cruiser "Feilian", would be too difficult for him to sink them, and the relatively old "Sea Chip" soon became the prey of the "Hiei" to deal with it

A large number of shells poured down on the "Sea Chip".

The artillery fire fired from the "Hiei" was fierce and accurate, and under the raindrops, the "Haichou" was wounded in many places.

And the "Hiei" is doing everything possible to avoid the attack from the Chinese battleship gunfire, and all the Japanese navy on the ship has already held the belief that it will die, but before death, it must also sink a Chinese warship!

At this time, the "President" and the "Hiri" also quickly discovered the predicament of the "Sea Chip", and they desperately fired shells and torpedoes at the "Hiei" in an attempt to draw the attention of the "Hiei" from the "Sea Chip" to their side.

But the Hiei was completely unmoved.

Nakajima and his naval officers and men had one goal in mind:

"Sea Chip"!

The situation of the "Sea Chip" is very difficult......

"Torpedo ready!" Jin Nakajima coldly gave the order.

"Report to Your Excellency Captain, most of the torpedo tubes are damaged, only Torpedo Tube No. 3 is available!"

The subordinate's report stunned Nakajima for a moment.

Is it? Only one torpedo tube is available?

"Ready to launch!" After only a brief hesitation, Nakajima Jin still firmly gave his order: "Concentrate the main and secondary guns of the small No. 3, and concentrate on firing the sea chip torpedo and prepare for launch." We only have one chance! ”

"Hello!"

The artillery fire was intensively firing towards the "Sea Chip"!

Under such intensive artillery fire, the "Sea Chip" completely lost power. This warship, which was in service at the same time as the "Hai Yi", despite its best efforts, was soon to be destroyed like its sister ships.

"Your Excellency, Captain, the torpedo is ready!"

"Your Excellency, the enemy ship fired two torpedoes at me!"

"Regardless of the enemy torpedo ready to fire!"

"Hello! Regardless of the enemy torpedoes, get ready to fire! ”…,

"The torpedo is ready for launch!"

Jin Nakajima made one of the hardest decisions in his life, but also the most correct one. He clearly saw that the fate of the "Hiei" was irreversible, and in a while, it would soon suffer the same fate as the "Sea Chip". In this case, let the "Sea Chip" become your own funeral object.

The torpedo was fired. The position of these two warships in the history of the development of the Chinese Navy was highly appraised. And praised that if there were no "Hai Analysis" and "Hai Chip", then maybe there would not be a Chinese Navy.

If the Chinese officers and soldiers who died heroically on these two battleships could hear such an assessment, they would probably smile.

"Open fire, sink the Hiei, and avenge the Haichip!"

"Fire! Fire! Sink the Hiei! ”

All the officers and men on the "President" and "Fei Lian" let out such an angry roar!

The end of the Hiei has also arrived.

At the same time as they sank the "Sea Chip", they themselves were again hit by a torpedo......

Nakajima straightened his uniform, knowing that he and the Hiei had come to the last moment.

"Your Excellency, the flagship Devil's Fury has called, our ship has done its duty and is allowed to abandon ship!"

"Abandon ship?" Nakajima Jin smiled and said, "Please tell Commander Kato that I, all the officers and men of the Hiei, are determined to die with the ship, long live His Majesty the Emperor, and long live the Okai Hichimoto Empire!" ”

When he finished saying this, he saw countless shells and torpedoes rushing towards his "Hiei".

1。 :。 2, the battle cruiser "Hiei" of the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy completely lost its combat effectiveness, 1. :1。 minutes, "Hiei" began to sink.

1。 At 35 minutes, the "President" and "Hirien" fired two more torpedoes, ending the "Hiei" campaign on the sea and the envoys it once had.

All the officers of the "Hiei" died with the ship from Shinshi Nakajima......

In the Japanese Second Fleet, the "Shimakaze", which has the highest speed, was also attacked by a surprise attack from the bottom of the sea, and then suffered a lot of damage under the joint attack of the "Shanghai" and "Zhenjiang".

Captain Mitsuru Onono knew that the final time had come

"Sink the Sea!" At this last moment, Ono Man gave the last order of his life.

The "Island Wind" drove at full speed and rushed frantically towards the "Shanghai". Since the fate of defeat is irreversible, let yourself and the enemy's warship die together!

The shells kept falling on the "Island Wind", and as the damage intensified, the speed of the "Island Wind" became slower and slower, and then the torpedoes fired from the "Zhenjiang" ended its voyage.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we have failed." Guan Gancheng said sadly: "I don't have the ability to continue fighting, let's retreat." If you don't retreat, the entire Second Fleet will be buried here, and I beg you to retreat! ”

Kanji Kato looked at everything in front of him in a daze, his heart bleeding

Failed, really failed, the Second Fleet, which I was once proud of, was almost devastated!

Himself, will be the sin of the Japanese Navy for the rest of his life.

The remnants of the Japanese Navy finally chose to retreat.

The "Battle of the Diaoyu Islands" is over!

In this naval battle, the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy lost the battlecruisers "Kongo" and "Hiei", the cruiser "Kirishima" was wounded, and the destroyers "Nagara", "Natori", "Kitakami", and "Mine Kaze" were damaged......

Almost half of the fleet was routed by the Chinese Navy!

This was the worst defeat suffered by the Japanese Navy since its inception!

In particular, the sinking of the "Kongo" and "Hiei", which were known as the giants of the sea, was simply an unbearable loss for the Japanese Navy. …,

On the Fujian fleet of the Chinese Navy, the battle cruiser "Yue Fei" was heavily damaged, and the "President" and "Northern Expedition" were also wounded one after another. Six warships of various types, including the "Hai Yi" and the "Hai Chip," sank, the "Xuanming" was seriously injured, and the "Feilian" was shot out of a big hole......

A fiasco, this is an out-and-out fiasco!

But in any case, the Chinese Navy still won! This was the first naval victory of the Chinese Navy since the First Sino-Japanese Naval War!

The end of the "Battle of the Diaoyu Islands" was not just a victory, but also broke the myth of the Japanese Navy's invincibility and rebuilt the Chinese Navy's firm belief in victory!

The impact of this naval battle is enough to affect the Chinese and Japanese navies for a long, long time, and it is also enough to change the pattern of the navies of the two countries.

No one was cheering, and all the Chinese naval officers and sailors were silently watching the sea. There, there are their own sunken battleships, their own dead brothers, and the beginning of the recasting of glory by the Chinese Navy!

Zhang Xiaoyue and Lu Yixuan resisted their excitement, they looked at each other silently, and they both found that each other's eyes were full of tears.

Zhang Xiaoyue tried to calm his emotions, and then said in a trembling voice, word by word:

"Send a telegram to the president, the Admiralty, the naval battle of the Diaoyu Islands, over, we ...... Win! ”

We won, it's that simple!. )
