Lu Chongwen's battleship was already shrouded in flames, black smoke rose hundreds of meters high, and one of the two turrets on the bow had exploded and was damaged, and it was impossible to fight at all. The old general Lu Chongwen, who was standing on the bridge, could only lament at this moment, he fought bravely against the enemy, but in the end he did not get a hearty victory.

However, compared to Lu Chongwen, who failed in a hard battle with a weak attack, Takaichi Togo, who had just climbed onto the battleship Fuso, was also lamenting again and again. He looked at the battleship Nagato, which was also on fire and smoking in the distance, and complained to the adjutant who climbed onto the side of the ship: "Could it really be that this Ming Dynasty is not exhausted?" I faced it with a fourfold advantage, but I didn't even make it in one fight...... That's really ...... It's really ......"

He choked up for a moment, and couldn't even say the next words. If His Majesty the Emperor were to know that his fleet had suffered such huge losses, he would probably be as eager to cry as he was, right?

"Shoot at close range! I want to let the battleships of the Ming Dynasty pay for their blood debts! After watching his commander's flag rise from the mast of the battleship Fuso, Takaichi Togo clenched his fist and ordered the captain of the battleship Fuso, who had rushed to listen to the dispatch: "Send a telegram to the Mutsu and the Yamashiro, flank the enemy ships, and be sure to sink them!" ”

His Nagato battleship has now been beaten into that shape by the warships of the Ming Empire, if there is no guarantee that the Ming battleship will be sunk, then after Togo Gui goes back, he doesn't have to wait for His Majesty's sanctions, just find a katana and cut his abdomen to commit suicide. So he gritted his teeth and gave the order to destroy fiercely, and he didn't even intend to let go of the living.

"Boom!" One after another shells blasted out of the main gun ports of the Japanese battleship, and the distance between the two sides has been pulled into 14 kilometers, which is a distance for the battleship, the accuracy of the hit is already very impressive, not to mention that the battleship Wuyishan of the Ming Empire has lost the ability to evade normally because it has almost stood still.

Hitting a stationary target and hitting a moving target are completely two different concepts, so maneuverability and flexibility are definitely a very important performance parameter in naval warfare. Of course, any kind of weapon must pursue a perfect balance between various parameters, and it is impossible to be exhaustive and flawless.

As for the expensive and huge weapons and equipment of battleships, all countries can only grope for design and use various valuable historical lessons to develop slowly - the battleships of the British Empire attached great importance to maneuverability and firepower, which is related to the fact that it occupied a small half of South America and Africa, and had a vast colony; The battleships of the Ming Empire continued to use coal as power, which was inseparable from its own geographical conditions of less oil and more coal.

During the time of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, it was not that oil was not found, and in the past years, the Ming Empire also explored a lot of oil deposits. However, due to the limited extraction technology and the fact that the Emperor of the Apocalypse seemed to be interested in protecting his country's mineral deposits, most of the oil extracted was in the marginal areas. This caused the Ming Empire to lose most of its oil resources after the collapse of the country, and also made the country lose a lot of valuable wealth.

The Chinese ancestors who were born in the Central Plains began to call the land under their feet China more than 2,000 years ago, which was only a small area of the Yellow River Valley at the beginning, and as time went by, this land became bigger and bigger, and this place called China once covered more than half of the world's land.

Thankfully, even today, the place that can be called China is still bigger and grander than in previous dynasties. And the power it contains is not something that the rising countries can imagine.

Now, the battleships of the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy are firing their guns frantically, pouring their ammunition on the battleship Wuyishan, which is still unwilling to sink, and the Wuyishan has lost the ability to fight back a few minutes ago, but this battleship is still floating on the sea, stubbornly lying there.

On the bridge, Lu Chongwen leaned against a corner, and the adjutant who had just died of blood loss was pressed on his body. Blood stained the white military uniforms on their bodies, and even the decent Lu Chongwen was already embarrassed and covered in blood at this moment. There were hardly any soldiers still alive on the entire battleship, and the Japanese only attacked the superstructure of the battleship Wuyishan in retaliation - this is another reason why it has not sunk for a long time.

Seeing the mess around him, watching large and small shells explode and smoke not far away, Lu Chongwen smiled, spitting blood in his mouth while laughing. Thousands of loyal and brave men of the Ming Dynasty fought with him today, and they did not insult the integrity of this nation and did not live up to the earnest teachings of the motherland in the distance.

He should have closed his eyes a long time ago, but a force supported him and let him accompany this old guy beside him, the battleship Wuyishan of the Ming Dynasty, which had been in the water for decades. He served on this warship, interned here, and eventually became the captain of this battleship for the rest of his life, and now he was going to accompany this old fellow away and sink with him to the icy bottom of the sea.

So Lu Chongwen smiled very calmly, he felt that it was better for him to leave like this than to return to the land and watch the motherland being made into a miasma by those fools. Another shell hit the bridge of the battleship Wuyishan, and Lu Chongwen's eyes darkened, and he didn't feel anything else.

"Your Excellency, General! Time is running out......" An officer walked up behind the triumphant Togo Guiichi with a pale face, and reminded: "This sea area is not safe, it is better to break away as soon as possible......"

"Yes!" Dongxiang Gui nodded, watching the Wuyishan being beaten into a pile of scrap iron, and most of the evil anger in his heart came out, so he withdrew his gaze, looked at the officer behind him who reminded him, and asked, "Nagato battleship, how is the repair?" ”

"Report to Your Excellency General, the battleship Nagato is quite badly damaged, and at this time it has just recovered its power for 3 knots, so it can only return slowly......" The officer mentioned the Nagato, and his face also showed a trace of bitterness, after all, his side was an absolute advantage, and he was almost beaten by the Daming Naval Division, which was really exciting.

also knew that he was coming with great momentum, and the result was only a miserable ending, and his face was not very good-looking, but Togo Guiichi still restrained his emotions and commanded: "Let the fleet aim below the waterline, clean up the enemy ships as soon as possible, and then return in formation!" ”

"Boom!" The Wuyishan began to sink after a loud explosion, and the entire battleship broke in two and disappeared into the wavy sea.
