Chapter 1415: The Vast Ocean Is a Battlefield XV
readx;?β Quick, quick, fast...... Get out of here! β
Zhu Guohui heard someone shouting, he turned his head, looked at the sea, and immediately gasped! The 14,000-ton giant ship has been parallel to the Hongguang at some point, and the 6-inch secondary guns on the deck are all aimed at their side and are firing!
"Zihua, let's go!" A familiar voice shouted Zhu Guohui's name, and at the same time, he used a strong hand to drag the frightened him up from the deck, and climbed into the communication room protected by thick armor. Pen % Fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info; Top; Dot; At this point in the novel, he found out that the person who pulled him in turned out to be Lieutenant Yang Yonglin, the communications officer on the Hongguang, and he was a classmate of the Royal Navy Military Academy.
The two classmates glanced at each other, and Zhu Guohui just wanted to say thank you, when a huge explosion sounded again, and the hull of nearly 8,000 tons shook violently. Zhu Guohui sat down on the ground without standing firmly. Yang Yonglin wanted to reach out and pull him, but he waved his hand and refused.
"Yuchen, you can get busy, I'm fine, there's nothing to do, let me sit for a while." Zhu Guohui sat on the ground against the bulkhead, without any strength in his body. Today, he first fell off the bridge (fortunately not too high) and broke his head, then jumped back to the sea, swam at least 1,000 meters above the surface of the shells, and finally struggled to climb the deck of the Hongguang, and he had used all his strength to not even want to move. If the Hongguang is broken again, he will probably have to wait for death.
Yang Yonglin still pulled Zhu Guohui up, "Brother Zihua, I know you're fine." But Captain Akamatsu wants to see you...... Come with me. This way. β
The captain of the Hiromitsu is also a new Japanese. is named Akamatsu Norira, and like Enomoto Takehiro, they are both old-timers of the Ming Royal Navy Military Academy. However, he didn't know that Zhu Guohui had already gotten on his battleship, he just wanted to find an officer from the Yongli Command Tower to ask about Yu Guibei and Enomoto Takeyang's situation - he wanted to know if the two of them couldn't think of martyrdom! Because these two have not been fished up until now......
"Really, why are they ......" Knowing from Zhu Guohui's mouth that the two had left the ship, Akamatsu Zeliang stomped his feet, and just wanted to complain a few words, but there was a roar. The bow of the Hongguang was suddenly drowned in a sea of fire.
"Full speed, full speed away!" Akamatsu Norira couldn't wait for all the sailors who had fallen into the water to get on the boat, and shouted, "Go to the beach of Riau Island and run aground, we will be safe when we get there!" β
Now there is only this way, and it can't be beaten, so you can only run aground and ...... Abandon the ship and run away! This time, the new Japanese Navy was really beaten badly, and I don't know when it will be able to stand up again? However, it is not only the new Japanese Navy that is miserable, but the Ming Royal Navy is also facing a very humiliating matter!
"Enomoto, swim hard. They're chasing you! "Yu Guibei really regrets his decision now...... Because he and Enomoto Takehiro are too old, their swimming speed can't compare to Zhu Guohui (this kid is going to be stripped naked, he's a muscular man!). οΌγ Watching the Hongguang, which was about to be turned into a torch, drive away in the direction of Riau Island!
And that's not even the worst of it! Because it is not too far from Rionei Island, Yu Guibei and Enomoto are both wearing life jackets and holding a lifebuoy, and they should be able to swim over slowly. But the British battleships suddenly dropped some lifeboats, on which there were British sailors with riflesβnot to kill, of course, but to save people. Until the war has been fought, both China and Britain have behaved very gentlemanly, not killing each other's civilians or abusing each other's prisoners...... However, Yu Guibei and Enomoto Wuyang are still very reluctant to be prisoners!
"Two generals! They are Chinese admirals ......"
Yu Guibei felt as if he was being caught by something, and then a very powerful big hand carried him onto a small sampan like a chicken!
'It's over! Yu Guibei wanted to cry and thought without tears, "The dignified Vice Admiral of the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty refused to die and became a prisoner......
Boom......
A loud explosion interrupted Yu Da's train of thought, and he looked up to see that a Saxony-class battleship had been blown up! It seems to be the Longwu! When he looked around, he saw that the other two Saxony-class ships had turned into two flaming fireships, desperately heading towards the island of Riau. The two Indian Queen-class ships are in hot pursuit, and it looks like it will be difficult to escape!
"Admiral! The Minotaur was in a hurry, and 5 unknown large armored cruisers arrived on the battlefield! β
In the command tower of the Empress of India, there was not much joy at the moment. Because at the same time as the three Indian queens were on a killing spree. On the main battlefield in the north, the Chinese have completely gained the upper hand! The arrival of 10 Tianjin-class and 11 Hong Kong-class ships made the ratio of the number of ships on the battlefield from the original 20:41 to 41:38, and the reason why it was 38 was because after the sinking of the Orlando, the two armored cruisers that were not worthy of the name Emerald and Tourmaline were both sunk! There was another Orlando-class Goddess of Dawn that sank. As for the remaining British ships, except for 9 battleships that were still relatively intact, the remaining 30 warships were almost all wounded. As many as 18 ships were reported to have been severely damaged!
And now, suddenly 5 more large armored cruisers have arrived, and the battle situation in the north has reached the most dangerous time!
"How big?"
"About 7,500 tons, and it's fast, at least 17 knots!"
17 knots! 7500 tons! Still is...... 5 ships!
Arthur. Hood's forehead was already shiny, and beads of sweat the size of beans poured out like bursts. The 7,500-ton ship is already about the same as the Saxony-class. And the speed of 17 knots is equivalent to the fastest cruiser of the Eastern Fleet! In the event of a melee, these 5 armored cruisers can fully form a formation and lay siege to the British armored cruisers and fast cruisers!
"Can't stay any longer!" Arthur. Hood looked at the two Saxonies that had been heavily damaged with a little regret, "It's almost scrapped, just let them go!" Let the Royal Oak stay and recover the lifeboat, and we will go first with the Remilis and go to the decisive battle with the Chinese! β
β¦β¦
"Boom ......"
In the midst of the loud noise, a dazzling fireball rose again on the surface of the South China Sea, this is a broken gem-class armored cruiser, and it is also Zhu Guoguang's second result today - his tactic is very simple, specifically find the British ships that have been half or completely disabled, first bombard them at a long distance with cannons, and then release torpedoes closely.
"Quick, get out of here!" After the first blow was successful, Zhu Guoguang immediately ordered to transfer in. His Tianjin-class was very powerful, but it was not enough to meet the British battleships or large armored cruisers. If the Orlando hadn't been too seriously injured, Zhu Guoguang wouldn't have dared to provoke it.
"Zixiu, look, our Nanzhili level is here!" Wang Boen shouted excitedly at this time, "Now we have won a big victory!" β
"No, not yet!" Zhu Guoguang shook his head, "Commander, the real decisive battle will start soon!" It's battleship-battleship-battleship! β
Zhu Guoguang's prediction is completely correct, with the arrival of the 5 Nanzhili-class, the final ** of this South China Sea naval battle will soon come.
Now on the Chinese side, two Saxony-class ships have been sunk, two Saxony-class ones have been scrapped, no less than 20 cruisers have been heavily damaged or neutralized, and four transport ships have been sunk. The British side lost two Orlando-class and three Jewel-class, and the number of heavily damaged and medium-damaged ships reached 25 (including 17 heavy damage)!
At this point, the two sides can be said to have lost both, but it is still far from the time when they can end the battle and return home. Because the most powerful combat power of the two sides has not yet competed head-to-head! Now the British just want to go, and the Nanyang Fleet of the Ming Navy, which has an advantage in numbers and speed, will definitely not agree.
At 9:50 a.m. on May 10, 1876, columns of smoke rose into the sky again appeared on the surface of the South China Sea, less than 15 nautical miles away from the Riau Islands, and the 3 Emperor-class battleships and 7 Emperor-class battleships of the South China Sea Fleet of the Ming Navy finally arrived!
At the same time, on the southern sea, three Indian Queen-class battleships have also revealed their tall masts. (To be continued.) )
