。 The "Shanghai" miraculously sank the "Fengfeng"!

At this time, the heavy cruiser "Xuanming" of the Fujian Fleet of the Chinese Navy was also fiercely attacked by the Japanese army. At 8:30, the "Xuanming" was shot, and at 8:35, the Japanese ships "Kirishima" and "Hanzaki" concentrated their fire and fiercely attacked the "Xuanming".

After much perseverance, the "Xuanming" finally lost its combat effectiveness and withdrew from the naval battle at 8:45.

In the case of ship-to-ship, although the tonnage and firepower of the ships of the two sides were roughly equal, and the Chinese warships even had an advantage, the gap in the quality of naval combat personnel was soon manifested.

Battleships can be bought overnight, but a good navy cannot be built overnight.

Only by drawing lessons from naval battles one after another, absorbing the enemy's strong points, and improving one's own combat capability can we gradually build the Chinese Navy into a truly powerful army.

In addition to the "Shanghai", the most outstanding performance of the Chinese Navy in the naval battlefield is undoubtedly the flagship "Northern Expedition".

This giant on the sea, when facing the flagship of the Japanese Second Fleet, the "King Kong", under the command of the captain Lu Yixuan, did not fall behind at all.

In terms of tonnage and firepower, the "Northern Expedition" firmly held the advantage, and although it was inferior to the Japanese Navy in terms of naval combat quality, it was not far behind.

Lu Yixuan was unusually calm and calm, and the sailors were equally calm.

The "Northern Expedition" and the "King Kong" used main guns, secondary guns, machine guns, and torpedoes, and almost every weapon on board that could be used was thrown into the thrilling sea battle

The soldiers were busy running on the deck, shouting and screaming. No encouragement, no mobilization, at times like these. Everyone is full of fighting enthusiasm and does not need encouragement and mobilization at all.

"World War I. This is equivalent to three years of training. Lu Yixuan looked at the fierce naval battle and suddenly said something like this.

World War I is equivalent to three years of training, and even far more!

In fact, by this time, the victory or defeat of the naval battle had become secondary, and Zhang Xiaoyue and Lu Yixuan seemed to have seen that their navy was undergoing a transformation in the midst of artillery fire

A truly powerful Chinese navy is bound to grow up in such a battle

Standing on the deck of the "King Kong", Kato Kanji was also surprised by the tenacious combat effectiveness of the Chinese navy on the other side, although there was still a certain gap between their personal qualities and their own soldiers. However, their combat enthusiasm and high morale were not inferior to those of the Japanese Navy

Terrible Shina people! Kanji Kato thought to himself.

If they are given another period of time to continue developing, the Chinese Navy will cause great trouble for the Imperial Navy in the true sense of the word. And this also strengthened Kato's determination to continue to inflict heavy losses on the Chinese Navy here, so that they could add another wound to the wound

The Chinese Navy must not be allowed to turn over. Never!

But the "Northern Expedition" is a monster at sea. It was a huge mobile fortress on the sea, and they were covered with impenetrable steel armor, even if the shells hit. The damage done to it is also minimal.

Kanji Kato has long known that over the years, the Chinese have bought warships from the United States, purchased warships from Britain, built their own warships, and devoted most of their energy to the navy. This made Kato Kanji both envious and jealous, but he was a little helpless.

Where did the Chinese get so much money?

While they waved the cheques in their hands and procured armaments on a large scale, the Japanese government had to shrink its clothes and diet to build a warship.

China has needed armaments everywhere. But Japan is extremely poor, especially after losing control of China. The material disadvantages are even more obvious. …,

Especially in the creation of "super-battleships".

Kanji Kato was also an ardent supporter of the "super battleship", and when intelligence showed that China was building a "super battleship", Kato was one of the first Japanese naval officers to insist that Japan also build a bigger and stronger "super battleship" at the same time, so that it could maintain maritime superiority over China!

At the strong request of the Navy, the plan to build two "super battleships" was finally approved, which also put the hearts of Kanji Kato and others at ease.

If the "super battleship" can now participate in the war, then Kanji Kato is absolutely confident that he will win this naval battle in the shortest possible time.

Of course, the current situation also makes Kanji Kato more satisfied

At 9 o'clock, the destroyer "Zhenjiang" of the Fujian Fleet of the Chinese Navy was wounded by the Japanese ship "Daofeng", and its main battery was destroyed, forcing the "Zhenjiang" to respond to the battle with a secondary battery.

"Island Wind" set a speed record of 407 knots not so long ago. Its high-speed speed and flexible steering made it very difficult for the "Zhenjiang" to cope.

At this time, the "Shanghai", which sank the "Fengfeng" not long ago, re-entered the battle and launched the hunt for the "Island Wind"!

The "Shanghai" won the first battle at sea, and the officers and men of the ship were in high spirits, and their confidence and enthusiasm for the navy were unprecedentedly enhanced.

When you are one-on-one with a Japanese ship, you can also sink it. The Japanese have good commanders, and they have them too!

When the officers and men on the "Shanghai" used to look at Niu Liancheng, they were disdainful and disdainful, but when they looked at him at this time, their eyes were completely different.

Niu Liancheng, who sat in a shaded place and was concentrating on eating the apples in his hand, was so calm and calm in the eyes of all the officers and men on the "Shanghai" at this time, perhaps this officer was thinking about how to sink the "Island Wind"?

In fact, Niu Liancheng has nothing to do with being calm and calm, and in his opinion, there is no difference between a naval battle and a fight with a child from a neighboring village when he is in the village.

He doesn't bother thinking about how to fight, he relies entirely on a natural intuition and keen observation and judgment.

If you exaggerate more, maybe this is called "genius".

However, the mood of the officers and men on the "Shanghai" was completely different, and they firmly believed that there was a magical commander behind them, and there was one of the biggest trump cards on the "Shanghai"!

Once the confidence of the officers and men on the battleship was mobilized to the greatest extent, the situation was completely different.

"Island Wind" is fast, and "Shanghai" thinks that it is not slow; The "Island Wind" turned nimbly, and the "Shanghai" also considered itself to be light; The "Island Wind" was accurate in its artillery fire, and the "Shanghai" thought that its shells were all with eyes

That's the mindset problem.

If the officers and men of the "Shanghai" were still thinking about the fiasco in the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle and were still worried about the strength of the Japanese Navy, then by now, this concern has completely disappeared.

The Japanese Navy is strong, but you are also from weak to strong!

The "Shanghai" roared again and again, and the shells smashed at the "Island Wind" in the face of the shells.

The "Zhenjiang", which was retreating one after another, also recovered its spirit after receiving the support of the "Shanghai", gritting its teeth and becoming entangled with the "Island Wind".

The performance of the two medium-sized ** ships surprised the "Island Wind" a little.

What happened to these Chinese? Seeing that they were about to achieve victory, how did the Chinese suddenly regain their enthusiasm for fighting?

"Shanghai", "Zhenjiang", and "Island Wind" are glued together, and all the warships are glued together...,

At this time, the decisive battle between the six capital ships of the Chinese and Japanese navies became the focus of the "Diaoyu Dao Naval Battle".

"Northern Expedition", "President", and "Yue Fei" faced off against the Japanese ships "King Kong", "Hiei", and "Kirishima"!

The sinking or withdrawal of any ship from the battlefield will inevitably have a tremendous impact on the "Battle of the Diaoyu Islands." No one dares to be negligent!

The "Yue Fei" and the Japanese ship "Kirishima", which had just repelled the "Xuanming", were wounded almost at the same moment, and the shells of both sides accurately hit each other.

The two sides continued to return fire at a rapid pace, while urgently repairing them.

Both sides are already red-eyed.

One of the sailors of the "Yue Fei" had one arm broken, but he pushed away his companion who had come to bandage him, and "Hehe" screamed and picked up a cannonball with his only remaining arm and rushed towards the battery.

It's a spirit.

Die, and die at your own post

Spirit cannot win a naval battle, but spirit can make up for the gap in combat quality to a certain extent. It is precisely this spirit of fighting to the death that has entangled the Japanese Second Fleet, making it difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser in the naval battle so far.

And at the height of the naval battle, Kanji Kato did not use his own submarines. To be honest, although Kanji Kato was a very good naval officer, he did not attach much importance to the role of submarines in naval warfare.

Naval warfare is warship against warship, artillery against artillery!

Kanji Kato so firmly believed.

"Northern Expedition".

Shells continued to whizz in the air, and columns of water continued to rise above the sea.

People are constantly dying, ships are being injured, and batteries are being destroyed.

Lu Yixuan looked at his pocket watch, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Commander, it's almost time, right?" ”

"Almost." Zhang Xiaoyue's smile was even more weird.

"It's not easy to fight like this." Lu Yixuan put away his pocket watch and sighed softly: "I thought I would be very passive at the beginning, but I didn't expect our soldiers to be good, and Heng Shuai would be very satisfied when he saw such a situation." ”

"But there is still a big gap compared to the Japanese, and this cannot be ignored." Although Zhang Xiaoyue agreed with the opinions of his colleagues, he still maintained full calm. He looked up at the sun, then smiled slightly:

"Seawolf, soon to be on the battlefield!" ()
