The power of sixteen heavy cannons, how magnificent,

The officers and men of China's naval fleet only felt the sound of the sky falling apart, not to mention the warships, the water of the Yangtze River, and the sky and the earth were strongly affected.

Because of the long wait, aiming training for a year, the Chinese artillery, under the direct guidance of Luo Yang, also developed some equipment to assist in aiming, it can be said that the equipment is the best in the world.

The first round of bombardment caused the three warships at the front of the British fleet, a heavy cruiser, and two light cruisers to be directly hit, and the huge cannonballs sank a light cruiser by gravity and high-speed flying pressure alone.

The heavy cruiser, after being hit, shells pierced through the armor and exploded inside the warship, turning the entire warship into a fire.

Judging from the fire of this heavy cruise, from the steel skin rolled up on the surface, and from the rapidly burning wooden hull, it is impossible to carry out damage maintenance.

Boom, I was hesitating whether to abandon the ship, a new explosion occurred on the ship, the fire triggered the ammunition depot, boom, the explosion of continuity, so that this once invincible battleship was blown up into a fritter in the bay,

The British fleet, in a panic, did not disorganize, and immediately organized its forces to bombard the two newly raised batteries, but there was a process of finding targets and aiming, so the price came, two new rounds of shelling,

In the second round of firing, two more light cruisers, which were hung up directly, sank into the water in a matter of seconds, and at the same time, two battleships suffered heavy losses, both of which burst into flames,

In the third round, one more heavy cruiser was destroyed, three light cruisers were sunk, and one battleship was hit a second time,

The British task force, which became the unlucky fleet, was sunk six light cruisers in less than five minutes, two heavy cruisers were destroyed, and it was a matter of time before they sank, and the injuries of the two battleships were also very significant, and the battleship that was hit twice was a small battleship of 7,000 tons, slightly larger than the heavy cruisers, and could not withstand continuous blows, and the power of the warship was destroyed, and it could no longer move, and it became a dead ship,

Of course, there were many British battleships, but among the 66 large battleships, in the fierce battle with the East China Sea Fleet, there was also one battleship seriously damaged, one heavy cruiser was injured, eleven light cruisers were injured, and four were sunk. The total number of sunken in China is 67,000 tons, while the British have only 10,000 tons,

Seventeen battleships were sunk or injured and could not fight, and the British army still had fifty battleships, which were bombarded by three rounds of giant artillery, and eight more were killed, and several battleships were injured, so the number of losses of the British fleet reached twenty-five, and among the remaining forty-one battleships, there were also several battleships that were wounded.

The British knew that something was wrong, and they were frightened by the huge shells and had to retreat,

The British retreated, and the remnants of China's fleet naturally had to chase, so Zuo Zongtang gave the order for a general attack on the bridge, three Chinese battleships, two heavy cruisers, five light cruisers, a total of ten battleships, rushed towards the enemy, when rushing, the power of one battleship could not be moved, only nine were left,

The Chinese heavy artillery battery, slightly moving the firing angle, chased the British fleet group, fired three more rounds, sank three ships of the British fleet again, and damaged five,

The British retreated in a hurry, so they began to fall into the ambush circle of heavy artillery along the Chinese coast, and in the 2,500-meter-long passage of the Yangtze River estuary, they received three rounds of flanking attacks, and then, the gray escaped from the Yangtze River estuary and returned to the outside of the bay.

The British fleet, distraught, returned to the bay in a fit of rage and found that only twelve of the fifty large surface ships that the entire Grand Fleet had been responsible for following had been able to escape.

"How so, how so." Admiral Halder's nose was crooked, he didn't expect that the battle of the Chinese fleet was actually a decoy,

When fleeing along the way, the British troops were flanked, almost coldly fired a few cannons, and they couldn't dodge, and when the British returned fire, they found that they didn't know where the enemy was, and the Chinese batteries were very well concealed, they were semi-basement type, and the British fleet firepower couldn't hurt them at all.

It was not pleasant to be beaten passively, but in the bay they found something even more terrible: "What about the eleven wounded warships that remained." ”

Even a light cruiser, with a displacement of more than 2,000 tons, belongs to a large surface ship, and it is impossible to disappear so completely.

The British thought that these warships had retreated, which was disobeying military orders, so General Halder decided to punish the captain of the captain immediately after the convergence: "Damn." ”

Suddenly, a soldier found a big guy floating in the water, he pointed out in surprise to everyone, and everyone looked at it curiously, only to see a round black iron thing, which was faintly floating on the sea.

Everyone reprimanded the guy and said that he was an idle fool, but unexpectedly, someone found that there was the same thing in the water around.

"What's that?"

Boom, I was suspicious, there was a huge explosion on the flank of a battleship that was advancing eastward, setting off a huge column of water, and a ball of fire was already on the fast-reacting cruiser, setting off a big hole, and the sea water rushed in,

In the panic of the British troops, there were several more large explosions, inexplicable explosions, and soon, four cruisers were paralyzed and floated on the sea, like dying dogs,

Someone found that it was a round thing that exploded on the side of the ship, and those things were very strange.

No one realized that it was a mine invented by the Chinese.

After luring the enemy into the estuary, the squadron made a series of moves, which the British army probably never imagined.

Dozens of Chinese gunboats, which had been hidden for a long time, began to pop up, and the gunboats were painted the same color as the river, and they did not come forward to fight the British wounded and maintained cruisers and a few gunboats, but as soon as they reached a suitable distance, they rushed forward.

The rapid advance of the gunboats disturbed the British troops, and they immediately shifted their targets and bombarded the wounded battleships towards the gunboats, but unfortunately, these gunboats, not only the camouflaged ships were powerful, but the soldiers were also wearing the same clothes, and their faces were smeared, so it was difficult to find them.

The British had to open fire fiercely, and the Chinese gunboats simply ignored it and kept rushing, swaying from side to side, dodging the shells,

The number of gunboats was large, and in the fierce battle, there were, five gunboats were hit successively,

However, the rest of the gunboats quickly arrived at the right distance, and then, spewing out one or two things,

The long black figure looks like a big fish, yes, it's a torpedo, and the squadron has modified part of the gunboat into a torpedo boat.
