To make matters worse, the torpedo carried by the Yashima was also detonated, and the Japanese Navy learned the lessons of the Battle of Daitogou and the "decisive battle weapon" it specially brought gave the Yashima the final blow

When the spectators, who were a few kilometers away, heard the terrifying loud noise, the fastest cruiser in the world was no longer visible on the sea

"What firepower! What a terrible battleship! French Navy Captain Frank muttered to himself with a pale face, and the officers watching the battle from other countries were also frightened, and the discussion on the Centurion came to an abrupt end, and those dog-like naval elites of various countries seemed to have been turned into clay wood sculptures

And Vice Admiral Yoshishin Inoue, commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, was even more like being hit in the back of the head with a heavy hammer, and he only felt that his eyes were shining with gold stars, and it was the capital ship that the Minister of the Navy risked his life to force the cabinet to buy! How could it be so simply sunk?

"Well played! Now it's a win! After sinking the Yashima, none of the Japanese Navy's warships can steadily surpass the speed of the Haitian, even if they retreat now and change to the route of breaking the diplomatic relationship in the future, the Haitian will be enough to deal with it.

After the unprecedented excitement, Deng Shichang's heart was filled with a trace of melancholy, he looked at Zhou Chunyu with a complicated expression, and sighed, "Okay, now you can invite Kaishi out."

As the admiral of the fleet, he was actually put under house arrest by his subordinates, even if Lin Taizeng had a good temper, he couldn't help but be indignant for a while, but as the sailors came again and again the good news of sinking the enemy ship, Lin Taizeng's expression finally gradually eased.

When Lin Taizeng returned to the bridge again, he seemed to have completely thought about it, only to see him smile at Deng Shichang, say "good fight", and stand aside and stop talking, so as not to interfere with Deng Shichang's command.

Deng Shichang has been friends with him for many years, how can he not understand what he means, and what he wants to say, but he is not choked up and unable to speak.

Lin Taizeng frowned when he saw this, put on the majesty of a true admiral, and solemnly admonished, "The battle is not over yet!" ”

"yes, the battle isn't over yet!" Deng Shichang suddenly woke up, and immediately issued an order to the officers and men of the ship through the microphone, "Don't relax, continue to attack!" ”

With the lessons of the Yashima, all the Japanese ships began to move away from the Haitian intentionally or unintentionally, and the vertical course of the two sides gradually tended to be parallel, but this made the Haitian exert stronger firepower!

"Even with the diamond-shaped layout, it is still better to face the enemy on the side side, first of all, there is an additional side of the secondary gun available, and the impact of the roll is easy to estimate, so the accuracy of the shelling will be a little higher than when facing the enemy from head to tail." Zhou Chunyu's words were quickly verified, although the Japanese sub-ship Takasago was the strongest of the four high-speed cruisers, but it was quickly disabled under the accurate shelling of the Haitian, and almost lost the ability to counterattack, not to mention, the speed was sharply reduced to less than 18 knots.

Since it is on a parallel course at this time, the Haitian can attack a specific target for a longer period of time, and if the Takasago continues to die, even if the Haitian does not explode its character, it will inevitably have no way to survive.

After a short ideological struggle, the captain of the Takasago gave the order to withdraw from the battle with a grim face, and even if he would be ordered to cut his stomach after the war, he could not watch the ship sink worthlessly.

But at this time, an accident happened that stunned everyone

In order to cover the Takasago and give it a chance to extinguish the fire and save itself, the Japanese ship Chitose (formerly the Argentine Navy's "May 26" protective cruiser) following behind it suddenly accelerated to overtake from the outside line, trying to rush to the side of the Takasago to block its guns, and then saw the Chitose's course deflected uncontrollably

"Left full rudder! Left full rudder! It's going to crash! What's going on? The captain of the Chitose shouted into the microphone with a frightened expression, he couldn't figure out why his warship suddenly crashed into the Takasago like a demon!

The captain's reaction was not unpleasant, but the ship's steering was far less flexible than the vehicle's, and under the strange suction pull, the officers and men of the two ships could only watch the Chitose crash headlong into the Takasago!

"Huh? How could such a thing happen? By the way, I remember when I was a child in "100,000 Whys", the principle was that the distance between ships should not be too close when they were parallel, otherwise pressure would be generated on the outside and cause collisions. Li Hui thought about it, and it seemed that there was really such a possibility.

Li Hui remembered that it seemed to be a major accident with a similar situation after 1900, probably because the previous ships were slow, so similar accidents were rare, but the two Japanese ships were both high-speed ships, and the Chitose was in a hurry to overtake, so such an accident occurred.

Even Li Hui, who was just watching the text broadcast, was attracted by this accident, not to mention the guys who witnessed it with his own eyes, the officers of various countries on the Centurion had a heated discussion about it, the Haitian was thunderous, and the remaining officers and men of the Japanese Combined Fleet were all as mournful, "Could it be that Amaterasu no longer protects the Imperial Kingdom?" ”

If it weren't for the fact that the captain of the Chitose still maintained the clarity of the Lingtai in today's situation and did not let the Chitose reverse immediately, the Takasago would definitely sink immediately, and the officers and men on the ship were afraid that few would survive.

However, the two ships stuck together became the best target, and in a short time, the Chitose was hit by multiple large-caliber shells, and almost the entire warship was shrouded in smoke

However, Deng Shichang, who finally recovered from his surprise, immediately realized the problem and immediately shouted into the microphone, "Leave these two ships alone, fight the remaining one first!" Hit the rest first! ”

"The commander of the Qing Kingdom is very smart, he can see through the crux of the problem at a glance, two Japanese ships collide, even if they do not sink, the injury must not be light, as long as the only fast cruiser that is not injured is killed, it will be difficult for the remaining few to escape. Moreover, the Pratt Captain will soon be able to join the battle, and it is safer and safer to cripple the Japanese ship as soon as possible to avoid being attacked on both sides." The American Adu was the first to notice the changes on the battlefield, and he was full of praise for Deng Shichang.
