So, in the next battle, Shen Tianzi and Chang Yuchun each picked one to do it alone, so that the American warship that could fire with all its might without interference was left with the last one, due to the smoke interference generated by the gunfire of the warship in front, the distance was also the farthest, and its shelling accuracy was originally the worst, even if it was left alone, the threat was not too big, not to mention that only the four main guns in front of them that were also interfering with each other could fire.

Therefore, in the following battle, although the combat distance was much shorter, the frequency of the two Chinese light cruisers being hit by enemy ships was reduced a lot, which in turn allowed them to output stronger firepower, and the two American ships that were selected as targets were naturally beaten badly......

It may be due to the stricter training requirements of the biochemical officers, Chang Yuchun's artillery hit rate in this naval battle was higher than that of Shen Tianzi, and the target she selected in the heads-up stage was the closer US ship, so the hit rate was naturally higher. However, the influence of luck always existed, and the result was that the Shen Tianzi, which had a lower hit rate, first killed its own target, and a 150mm armor-piercing bullet pierced through the weak top into the No. 2 main turret of the American ship, and then penetrated the next door and drilled into the ammunition depot under the turret......

After a terrifying loud noise, the American light cruiser seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand and torn apart by two ends, and sank into the sea, and only 7 of the 450 officers and men on the ship were rescued, including the captain, a total of as many as 443 people died in the sea......

After sinking another light cruiser, the American commander finally fully realized the strength of the enemy, but he could not retreat now, because the reinforcements had already arrived, and if they left now, the reinforcements would lose their target, and the previous sacrifice would not be in vain?

The hesitation of the US commander ruined the only little chance of the flagship, although Chang Yuchun was unlucky and never hit the vital parts that were fatal, but the light patrol was only a light patrol after all, even if it was only a 150mm caliber shell, it would not be able to bear it after being hit too much. By the time the shadow of one's own warship could be faintly seen on the horizon in the distance, this American light patrol had been bombed to pieces, especially the damage to the command instrument, which made it completely lose its ability to accurately shell distant targets.

It is said that it is approaching, but in fact the distance is still several kilometers, which can basically ensure that the shelling of the enemy ship cannot hit itself, and the Americans did not expect that the Chinese torpedo had such a long range, and did not concentrate on waiting for the battle, plus this new torpedo is an advanced product that the British Navy only equipped in 1918 in history, with a maximum speed of up to 40 knots, and after shooting, it was as fast as a swordfish in the water, and the American flagship did not have time to complete the evasion action, and was hit by a torpedo, and then only a few seconds apart, another torpedo completed the mending knife beautifully......

You know, this new torpedo is 533mm caliber, and because of the glorious tradition of the British Royal Navy, the charge is larger than the ordinary torpedo, reaching 234 kg, and it is likely that the next hundred years will not lag behind the ladder black aluminum high explosives, its power is so great, it is simply madness, even if it is a 10,000-ton giant ship, after receiving one, it is certain to die, not to mention that this American light patrol is not more than 5000 standard rows, but it was hit by two at once, so is there still suspense in the result?

Because the ship sank so fast, the American commander did not even finish the final order, and sank into the water with the ship in despair, along with 374 people......

At this time, the six American warships that came to the aid were clearly recognizable in the lookout's telescope, but the two Chinese light cruisers had no intention of taking it when they saw it, and they continued to stare at the "dead leftovers" in pursuit of it, trying to deal with its reinforcements before they joined the battle.

The remaining American light cruiser desperately sped up its speed and headed towards reinforcements, but a 150mm armor-piercing bullet from the Chang Yuchun drilled into its steering room, and after an explosion, the heavy steam rudder was seriously damaged and completely stuck, so the American light cruiser that was turning began to involuntarily circle on the sea......

How can such an opportunity be missed? The two Chinese warships immediately pounced like hungry wolves, and soon the American light cruiser, which had lost its evasive ability, followed in the footsteps of its flagship and died tragically under a Chinese torpedo without any suspense, with a death toll of more than 300......

At this time, the reinforcements sent by the main force of the American fleet finally drove into the maximum range of the 6-inch naval guns, but the object they wanted to rescue no longer existed, and the officers and men of the ships who saw the sinking of the last light patrol were all stunned, eager to swallow the culprit alive. However, at this time, the initiative has completely fallen into the hands of the Chinese side, and the ultimate speed of the Chinese light cruisers exceeds 30 knots, and it is difficult for the US destroyers to catch up.

However, to the delight of the Americans, what made them even more angry was that the two Chinese warships did not escape, but spread out sideways, assuming a posture of facing the battle. Is it true that the U.S. Navy is all rubbish? The six angry US warships immediately rushed up at full speed, trying to find a place for themselves and help their comrades pay off their blood debts.

At this time, the two Chinese light cruisers were already wounded, Chang Yuchun suffered 8 rounds of 152mm shells alone, and Shen Tianzi was also hit by 5 rounds, but because the protective area of the armor belt was large enough, most of the shelling of the enemy ships was completely prevented, only a few shells that hit the superstructure caused limited losses of 5 dead and 7 wounded, and even a 105mm secondary gun hit by enemy shells survived because the gun shield was strong enough, so the two Chinese light cruisers looked a little embarrassed, However, none of the main artillery pieces were damaged, and the speed did not drop in the slightest, which was also the source of Lin Daxin's confidence in his determination to expand the results of the battle.

However, for the sake of safety, after a few brief words of communication with the captain of the Chang Yuchun, Lin Daxin decided not to rush up and fight with the enemy, but to slowly retreat diagonally, adopting tactics similar to "flying kites" to gradually weaken the enemy's strength, and when his strength was greatly damaged and he wanted to flee, he would turn around and chase after him to destroy the remnants of the enemy. Although the process is slower, it can minimize your own losses. Since the beginning of the Beiyang Naval Division, the Chinese Navy has always been worried about the shortage of domestic talents, so after the formation of the People's Navy, it has always opposed unnecessary sacrifices, even if one less sailor dies, it is good......
