"Report the damage!" Li Weiguo stood in the command tower, where the side armor belt was already mostly dented, and shouted at the microphone.

"The power compartment is normal!"

"The fire on the bow of the ship has been extinguished!"

The somewhat deformed iron door of the bridge was pushed open suddenly, and Tian Da, the shooting officer at the A gun position, rushed in with a fire extinguisher in his hand, "Captain, the fire on the bridge has been extinguish......ed."

Boom Boom Boom ...... Rumble...... Several shells whistled in, setting off a large wave on the surface of the sea near the left, so that Tian Da's voice was suddenly drowned out, but what he meant, Li Weiguo already understood, "Zuo Manrudder...... Evacuate at full speed...... Lao Tian, the cannon position will be handed over to you, whoever stands in our way, we will beat him hard! ”

"Yes!" Tian Da's ears were full of the sound of whistling shells and explosions, and he could barely hear all of Li Weiguo's orders, but it was obvious that he could fully grasp them from the other party's gestures and expressions.

In just two minutes, the Jiujiang ship had completed a large loop on the water, turned its bow and rushed towards the defense of the west-northwest, and the sea surface, which had only the sound of big waves a few minutes ago, had been completely boiling, and the British fleet, which had opened a long battle line, immediately realized the problem in the middle of the battleship, and all kinds of signals flashed chaotically.

"See the torpedo boat brothers!" Although all kinds of messy shells flew behind him, constantly falling around the Jiujiang ship, it was clear that after a series of perfect movements, the danger had been slightly alleviated, and the Jiujiang ship had not fired a single cannon from beginning to end, and under the cover of this dark night where only the artillery fire was shining, it had successfully opened the distance.

"When I saw boat No. 3, they were on fire and were heading west. There are no stalls...... But there are at least 4 boats chasing them! "The latest information immediately came from the lookout.

"What about No. 1 and No. 2?"

"No ...... observed"

"Captain. Enemy situation appears on the left side ......"

In the dark. A large black figure loomed out of the darkness on the left flank, and with a loud bang, a flare was fired into the sky...... Obviously, the other party also discovered the Jiujiang ship hidden in the big waves! With this light source, the hulls of the four huge battleships attacked in battle formations from far and near.

"Battleship...... Distance 4000m......"

A loud warning immediately came from the lookout post, and at this moment, the 120mm rapid-fire gun on the stern of the Jiujiang ship had already bombarded the nearest huge object without hesitation, and the huge cannon raised by the powerful enemy on the opposite side also fired suddenly a little later than ten seconds later. The sky was reddened by the black fireworks......

More than 400 kilograms of giant shells with a devastating roar, even on this stormy night, people can already feel the powerful power of industrialization! Rumble...... Rumble...... Two shells swept in front of the bow of the Jiujiang ship and fell far into the sea, stirring up a high spray at the tip of the huge wave.

This battle has reached this point, the attack has evolved into a frontal engagement, and the three-plate axe of the Jiujiang ship is going to deal with the battleship head-on, which is not a good idea, Li Weiguo slapped the somewhat deformed bridge lookout window, and was about to order a full-speed evacuation, at this time. There was another excited roar from the lookout, "30 degrees back to the side." Torpedo boat No. 1! Attacking! ”

In the dark night, the No. 1 Stinger-class torpedo boat, which was originally painted in dark color, suddenly appeared, and on the low hull, the only 37mm machine gun was blazing with flames, firing fiercely at the huge British battleship more than 1,000 meters away in the distance, Li Weiguo even saw the stout figure of Second Lieutenant Cai Zheng in the wind and rain, and was stretching out his hand to point directly at the enemy in the distance.

"Left full rudder...... Turn...... Torpedoes No. 1, 2 and 3 are ready! At this moment, although the enemy who was close at hand was so powerful, seeing the brave assault of his comrades, Li Weiguo naturally would not give up his support for Paoze, and in the midst of the artillery fire, the slender Jiujiang ship once again circled a huge circle on the spot, and the 120mm rapid-fire guns in the bow and stern of the ship were already firing fiercely at the enemy at full speed.

Tian Dazhong, the shooting officer of the main gun position, recognized at a glance that the giant ship on the opposite side was spitting terrifying firepower, which was one of the latest monarch-class battleships in the Royal Navy......

And his 120mm caliber rapid-fire gun, against the opponent's main armor belt 14-18 inches of turtle shell, is almost scratching, of course, if it can hit the 70mm armor belt of the British horizontal deck, it can have some power, but at a distance of less than 4000 meters today, it is impossible to hit the horizontal armor belt......

"Molotov cocktails! All on the incendiary bombs! As Tian Da slammed down the ignition button, the Jiujiang ship, which was maneuvering at high speed, fired a super-high-quality hit.

On such a bumpy battleship, especially in such a bad sea condition, the 25-kilogram incendiary bomb launched from a distance of 3,500 meters swept across the sky with extraordinary precision and smashed into the front of the bridge in front of the opponent.

"Good!" The cannon was immediately applauded, and at the same time, the huge bow guns of the twin twin of the British battleship on the opposite side were fired again, but perhaps because of the impact of the incendiary bomb that hit the bridge, the two heavy guns did not know where to fly.

At the same time, the powerful rapid-fire fire of the British battleship's side chord and a large number of 37 and 50mm machine guns on the port side of the battleship were already facing the No. 1 torpedo boat that was diagonally inserting from the side and rear......

The fierce wind and rain mixed with life-threatening shells and bullets formed the almost impenetrable fire net on the front of the D1 torpedo boat...... Only by getting close can you hit the most accurate fatal blow!

As a torpedo boat commander, he has never despised this small boat, those three 440mm torpedoes ready to be launched are definitely far more terrifying weapons than giant cannons in sea battles, and he is the soul of this deadly weapon!

Bang bang bang...... Boom......

A large area of fire burst in front of the torpedo boat, and there was immediately a large dense hole in the thin armor on the front of the torpedo boat, and Liu Yu, a Guangdong man who was operating the Type 86 multi-barreled gun next to Cai Zheng, disappeared from the gun position at once, leaving only a large pool of blood on the deck, and then was immediately swept away by the waves on the bow of the ship, and the mechanical sergeant behind him immediately jumped up, pulled down the bolt of the gun and thought about the fire-breathing giant ship in the distance to fight back violently!

"No. 1, No. 2...... Get ready...... Put! Cai Zheng's eyes were burning and staring at the huge steel monster that was already within reach, and the two torpedo shooters in a crouching position on both sides of the bow immediately pulled down the high-pressure gas torpedo launcher, and the two torpedoes swooped out of the battleship and pounced on the British battleship in the distance.

The two white lines immediately rushed forward in the bow of the ship, which immediately made the British battleship with heavy fire just now panic, and the huge hull immediately turned at full speed to try to evade this terrifying underwater weapon.

"No. 3...... Get ready...... Put! Under the relaxation of the pressure of the enemy ship, Cai Zheng immediately projected the last torpedo on the torpedo boat without hesitation, and the three white waterlines in front of 2 and 1 behind attacked sharply.

"Torpedoes No. 1, 2, 3...... Launch! ”

At the same time, the Jiujiang ship, which was more than 2,000 meters away from the British battleship, also fired two side-chord torpedoes and one waterline torpedo in the bow at the same time! After the torpedo was launched, Li Weiguo no longer hesitated, and turned to the opposite direction of the torpedo launch, and the No. 1 torpedo boat had also quickly followed.

They naturally hoped to confirm the results of the battle on the spot, but with the appearance of the British battleship on the other side that followed, the flare that had just been extinguished was replaced by the newly raised one again, and at a glance, in the surrounding black curtain, the black pressure was the shadow of the battleship!

"Send a signal to Ensign Cai, let them keep up, today's game ......" Li Weiguo excitedly ran to the rear of the battleship, looked at the fish track that was extending in the distance, and was about to make two light jokes, an unexpected cannonball once again caused the entire bridge to ignite a fire, and the flames even rushed straight into the conning tower, which made him immediately grin and pick up the fire extinguishing canister and rush out.

In the dark night, the No. 1 torpedo boat was in front, and the Jiujiang ship was behind, escaping in the brilliant artillery fire of various artillery guns behind him, and swooped down in the silent darkness in the distance, and 2 minutes later, in the rumbling cannon, a dull blasting sound loomed, which made Li Weiguo, who was fleeing rapidly, stunned, and looked back, except for the swarming British cannon tubes, there was no scenery, he scratched his head, "Fast artillery, run there in the dark!" ”

The boilers and steam turbines in the bilge of the Jiujiang ship were almost madly agitated, accompanied by the clatter of the crank transmission of the single adjustment, the battleship galloped westward in the dark night and the storm, and only later did it find that the No. 1 torpedo boat that had begun to chase was nowhere to be found, and Zheng Hong still couldn't figure out the direction, and after some tossing, he turned to the north and galloped.

When the sky was dark, the engine that had lasted all night finally struck, and as a last resort, Li Weiguo ordered to use a single-shaft drive to maintain a speed of 14 knots all the way to the northwest, but before noon he miraculously found that he had reached Pulan Island, which was originally planned to be reached before dawn, and here, it was obvious that he could not find the partners of the detachment at this time, so he continued all the way to the north, detouring to Sankouyang Port north of Pontianak Port to have a look. (To be continued......)
