The Second Fleet was denied ground by the sudden bombardment, and the Izumo was paralyzed on the spot without preparation, and the fire broke out severely.

The sinking of the Izumo was a matter of time, and even if it did not sink, there was no possibility of continuing the voyage.

The Second Fleet was immediately panicked, and after reacting, it immediately understood that they had entered the artillery firing range of the Zhina people, and the shore defense artillery of the Zhina people was very strong.

After just one round of shelling, the Izumo was already reimbursed on the spot.

The commander of the Second Fleet hurriedly gave the order to retreat, although the loss of the shipment ordered the fleet to be in flames, and the retreat meant that the retaliation of the Great Empire against the Fujian Autonomous Government had failed again!

But the losses could not be further magnified.

Having watched the entire Izumo's tragic experience, none of the captains of the Second Fleet were confident that their warships would be able to hold off the shore defense guns of the Shina.

"Boss, they're going to run, please indicate the target."

"Running away? That's it! Xia Jun was a little puzzled, and sure enough, after a while, the warships began to turn one after another, as if they were about to run.

It's not exciting enough!

"Call me that one, and that one." Xia Jun pointed to the Naniwa and Takachiho and said, since Xiao Yue was going to run away, then the biggest Azuma and Yakumo were naturally not good to stay, and the reason why Izumo was paralyzed by a wave of cannonballs before was because Izumo was not moving in place, so it would be hit one by one.

Once the warship begins to move, the shore defense guns will not be so accurate, after all, the speed of the enemy ship, the speed of the shells, and the direction of the wind must be taken into account when moving.

The Azuma and Yakumo are both warships of more than 9,000 tons, which are products of the Russo-Japanese War, while the Naniwa and Takachiho are products of the Sino-Japanese War, with only more than 4,000 tons.

More than 4,000 tons were hit by the M1919, and the taste was very refreshing, and that bit of armor basically had no defensive effect in the face of thousands of kilograms of shells.

"Report battery No. 1, target position xxxx, xxxx, is turning ......"

"Report Battery 2, target position xxxx, xxxx, is advancing at an acceleration of about 5 knots per hour......"

Boom Boom Boom Boom ......

The second round of shelling began, and the shells rushed away with a sharp whistling sound.

Empty......

Several shells fell into the water, exploding with a muffled sound, and the sea water was blown straight up.

The Naniwa had just finished turning at this time, and the cannonball slammed into the stern with a loud bang, followed by another cannonball from the deck, and then two loud bangs, the entire stern was blown apart, the middle deck was lifted off, and the interior was also blown into chaos, and the sea water quickly poured in from the stern, and the hull began to tilt back, and it would not be long before it sank.

Takachiho's fate was much better, as it was in the acceleration escape phase, four of the five cannon shells aimed at it grazed the side, only to be splashed on the deck by the splashing seawater, and the last shell hit the side of the ship, smashing a large hole, and the explosion damaged the internal structure, and the hull began to flood, but it was still able to continue sailing.

The speed of the Takachiho dropped rapidly, directly to about 10 nautical miles, although the speed became a bit like a snail, but it still gradually drove away, although it was still in the range of coastal defense artillery, but it was too far.

The other warships of the Second Fleet ran in front of the Takachiho, fleeing in a hurry with their tails between their legs, and this time they came to attack Ningde Harbor, apparently having a big surprise.

Just as the Takachiho was fleeing, Xia Jun was using the radio to contact the U-XXI submarine 'Reaper' and ask it to pursue the Takachiho.

Zhou Xiulong received the order and quickly ordered the crew to sail outside the harbor, the Grim Reaper submarine advanced directly underwater, this submarine sacrificed the speed on the water and paid attention to the speed underwater, so the underwater speed is faster than the speed on the water, this is mainly because the German submarine in the late World War II navigation on the water is easy to be discovered, in this case the U-XXI type submarine with extremely fast underwater speed was created.

The Reaper dived 15 meters below to pursue the Takachiho, and the sonar on the Reaper locked onto the Takachiho that had fallen behind, and the periscope was completely useless, so the periscope did not rise.

The Reaper bit the Takachiho at a rapid speed and quickly approached the Takachiho.

When the Grim Reaper submarine approached the Takachiho 1,200 meters, Zhou Xiulong slowly raised the periscope, and soon the periscope was exposed to the sea, and the fleeing Takachiho had no idea that it was followed by a submarine. And it's a very deadly submarine.

"Turn 20 degrees to the left and go full speed." Zhou Xiulong put away the periscope, picked up his watch and looked at it, and after about twenty seconds, Zhou Xiulong ordered to stop advancing.

Then Zhou Xiulong raised the periscope again, searched on the sea, and immediately saw that the Gao Qianho was already behind the right side of the Death.

"Turn right 70 degrees and float 10 meters." Zhou Xiulong ordered.

"Turn right 70 degrees and float 10 meters." The adjutant conveyed the order.

The Reaper began to turn, and in its current position, after turning 70 degrees to the right, a T-shape would be formed as the Death Chiho approached, and the Reaper's torpedoes would be aimed at the side of the Takachiho.

After the order floated 10 meters, it was 5 meters above the sea surface, a depth that was just enough to hit the waterline of the Takachiho. In the case of the six 533mm torpedoes with the Reaper's head in place, even at a distance of 10 meters from the waterline, it could still cause damage to the Takachiho.

This torpedo costs 20,000 points, which is twice as expensive as the M1919 shore defense artillery shell, and the power is naturally much greater.

The torpedo exploded in water, the energy loss was small, the shells of the same caliber were not fired at all compared to the torpedoes, and the torpedo charge was much more than the shells.

Torpedoes of World War II were used against ships that had not yet entered World War I, and this U-XXI submarine was an absolute killer of the seas, the Grim Reaper of harvesting ships.

The Takachiho was moving forward unnoticed, but he didn't know that it was about to enter the attack direction of the Reaper......
