The two bombs hit the guardrail, steel plate and stern of the "Nanxiang" respectively, although they did not cause much damage, but this signal was very obvious - "Nanxiang" had been targeted by two Japanese cruisers, and it was impossible to escape, so they had to attack hard, hoping that their own defense could last until the arrival of the rescue warship

"The right rudder, attack with the main gun, sandbags for me to cover the porcelain around the side chord auxiliary gun, Zhang Biao, go and connect the fire extinguishing hose and put it on the deck, ready to extinguish the fire at any time, lock the door of the ammunition depot for me tightly, close the door for me after moving the ammunition, don't give me any trouble, a shell will be completely destroyed when it comes" Zhou Zhanxun made a combat reaction

"Boom ......"

Under the command of Zhou Zhan, the "Nanxiang" also began to counterattack, and a cannonball fell into the middle of the "Qiujinzhou" and "Lang" ships, setting off a column of water

In front of the high-moving cruiser, the already not very accurate shooting now looked unbearable

"What the hell are the gunners up to? Which Japanese warship is he fighting? It's too embarrassing to fall in the middle of the two ships, aim at me, hit it well," Zhou Zhan began to scold his mother anxiously in the observation room

"Yes," one of the communications men turned to leave

At this time, the other warships of the two sides were also entangled together, and in an instant, the ships of each side fired hundreds of guns together, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the sea water was boiling

"Nanxiang" shook badly again, and apparently was shot again, and Zhou Zhan, who was in the observation room, didn't care about the shaking at first, and was still observing the movement of the two cruisers "Qiujinzhou" and "Lang" through the telescope

"Fuck, why did the artillery stop? Let him aim and hit again, not if they can't aim accurately, don't fight" Zhou Zhan suddenly realized why his warship hadn't fired shells for a long time

"Oh no, Zhou Guan, the warship was shot in the bow, a shell pierced the top deck of the first floor, destroying the bomb transport device used to lift ammunition from the main ammunition depot in the first floor, and was on standby nearby to prepare to fight the fire at any time 4 soldiers died on the spot" The communication soldier with a black face rushed in and told Zhou Zhan the bad news

Because at the beginning, Zhou Zhan had been facing the enemy ship head-on in order to avoid exposing the sidestrings in front of the opponent and suffering a devastating blow, and now the only main gun bomb carrier on the bow was destroyed, which really became a "dumb" ship that could not attack

"Tell someone to move? What the hell is going to report this? Are all the people dead? Don't you have to fire without a bomb carrier? Zhou Zhanming knows that there is a shortage of manpower now, but in addition to doing this, he will really become a dumb ship

"Yes"

After the destruction of the main gun bomb carrier, the "Nanxiang" could not find the rhythm of the battle for a long time, the personnel on the warship was first disrupted, a large number of personnel in order to allow the main gun to continue to fire, kept transporting the ammunition from the first floor to the second floor, and then when firing, everyone had to hide far away, the recoil of the 190mm main gun was quite amazing, and those soldiers standing near the original bomb carrier device had the possibility of being injured by mistake, so they had to dodge every time they fired the gun

In this way, the "Nanxiang" fired a cannon without a cannon, and the terrifying hit rate made this cruiser, which had no characteristics except for defense, always play a dispensable role in this naval battle

However, although there were no bright spots in the attack, they were still entangled with the two most powerful Japanese cruisers "Akitsuzu" and "Lang", at a distance of 5,000 meters, and the two Japanese cruisers had already hit no less than 20 shells, but "Nanxiang" had no problem at all, except for the slower voyage than just now, the rest of the place was no different from before the bullet

"What a kraft candy, Germany's warship escort ability is really extraordinary," Captain Akitsu said to himself, Captain Komitsu Riichiro

"General, it's better to get closer and use the main gun to deal with him directly," a staff officer suggested

Koman Riichiro thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "Don't look at the horror of the low hit rate of this warship on the other side, but if you are hit by his 190mm main gun at close range, it will be all over."

"Yes, the general, but the gunboats in the rear need our reinforcements, you see......" the staff officer said worriedly

"Let Lang and Takachiho go for reinforcements, and I'll hand over this German Class-A cruiser" Ryuichiro Komitsu appeared interested in sinking a German cruiser

"Hayi"

The flames of war have been burning in the Sea of Japan for an hour, and the fierce war between the two sides seems to be boiling over the whole sea, and the Daqing No. 1 and Daqing No. 2 and Yamato and Musashi are chess opponents, and the fight is difficult to solve, and the long-term victory and undefeat in front of Kyushu and Katsuragi are quite difficult, but fortunately, there are three fish and pedo ships and several gunboats to form a cover, so that the long-term victory and undefeated not only do not fall behind, but also firmly occupy the initiative in the offensive

Although it is temporarily in the lead, it is not easy to sink Japan's 10,000-ton ship unless Chang Sheng, undefeated and directly penetrates the opponent's deck with the main gun at close range, but people will not give you the opportunity to get close, or even if you let you get close, the caliber of the side chord auxiliary gun of the Japanese 10,000-ton ship is much larger than the caliber of Chang Sheng's main gun, and it is not certain who will be sunk

"Zhou Guan, a Japanese warship has left" An adjutant ran in with an excited face

Zhou Zhan was still holding a telescope to observe the changes in the entire battle situation, without any smile on his face, and said coldly: "See, this is not a good thing" Zhou Zhan put down the binoculars, turned around and continued: "The Japanese devils are going to make trouble for them, we can't let them succeed"

The aide-de-camp with a burned black face and ragged clothes embroidered with a golden dragon on his navy uniform could no longer see its original appearance, and after listening to Zhou Zhan's words, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed: "But the enemy ship has already risen, and we may be too late to catch up now, and our ship has already ......."

"Fucking the Dead Brain Sutra? Who told you to chase after him, didn't the school teach you the law of straight lines on the sea? Go, give Lao Tzu the order to cross over and block it with the hull of the ship, and you must drag that wave for me," Zhou Zhan scolded angrily

"Pipe band, that straight line is within the range of the main guns of Qiujinzhou, not to mention that our ship is already flooded, and it is only 14 knots to move forward," the adjutant said embarrassedly

"Afraid of death?" Zhou Zhan ignored the adjutant's words and continued to look at the binoculars

The adjutant who was questioned turned red, straightened his neck and said, "No...... There is no ......"

Zhou Zhan put down the binoculars and walked to the adjutant and taught: "People who are not raised by their parents, know how to send them to death without cramps in their legs and stomachs, this is commonplace, but what is the point of sending them to death, now is the time to do the devils, let's put the devils over, we ourselves are safe, but they are dangerous to ride the wind and break the waves, General Yan's more than 4,000-ton Changsheng is against the Japanese devils' more than 10,000-ton battleships, what is it for?" Is it to buy time for them to ride the wind and break the waves to deal with the Japanese devil gunboats and fish and pedo ships, if we let the devil's cruiser go, once the initiative on the battlefield is lost, even if we can go back alive in the future, will we have the face to sacrifice those brothers who died in battle? Pat your conscience and sleep peacefully for the rest of your life......"

The adjutant didn't wait for Zhou Zhan to finish speaking, and hurriedly said, "My lord, don't talk about it...... I'm going to send a herald to see you at the Martyrs' Shrine in the future......"

Zhou Zhan nodded silently
