This was a tragic breakout, with the dive bombardment of airships above and in the rear, and the roar of the enemy fleet's huge artillery in front of them, whose target was the capital of the motherland. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Master Liu, evacuate."

The captain was the last to go and came over to invite Liu Guanxiong.

Liu Guanxiong was determined to die just now, and of course he doesn't have to die in this situation now.

So he nodded and got off the lifeboat and went to a cruiser next to him to the rescue.

Togo Hei Hachi's ship had already advanced a kilometer forward, and he couldn't help but look back at the abandoned warships behind him that had lost their combat effectiveness, and those warships were dragged behind by the old and weak women and children, but he was disappointed, the Chinese airships did not pay attention to the warships that were easier to attack, but rushed straight to the main fleet that was breaking through, and kept an eye on the battleships.

Several more battleships were sunk in the process of breaking through, and now they are still 6 kilometers away from the Chinese fleet, but there are only 10 Japanese main battleships left, and each of them is damaged, while the Chinese battleships still have 8, although many are also injured, but the overall combat effectiveness is still there, and in the case of the formation, they have an absolute advantage in firepower.

Dongxiang Hei Ba Hao is gambling, betting that before he drives to the Chinese warships and entangles with them, his own warships will not lose less than 8 ships, so that he will have the opportunity to fight with the Chinese fleet, win the breakthrough, and lose the breakthrough.

The battleships were so badly damaged, not to mention the cruisers, this thin-skinned ship was not used for storming at all, they were rangers at sea, they were cruising and breaking relations, and at this time they also broke through in the face of Chinese artillery fire, and were damaged and sunk by the giant guns of Chinese battleships one by one.

Although Togo Heihachi's heart ached, he understood that when he made a frontal breakthrough, he understood that these cruisers were only used to attract firepower, and could only play the role of sharing artillery fire for the battleships, and they had no chance to break through.

Of course, if they are willing to abandon the battleship, these faster cruisers are actually the best chance to break through, but they must make sacrifices to give the battleship a chance to survive.

5 km, 4 km, 1 more battleship damaged, Japan still has 9 battleships, still one more than China, but the cruiser has been damaged by more than half, the Chinese seem to have changed their tactics, and the firepower began to shift to those cruisers that were easier to sink, and let go and let the battleships go at full speed.

Of course, the Japanese warships never stopped counterattacking, the Chinese battleships were also being sunk, the 5 cruisers were silent, and now they had less than 10 cruisers left, and less than 6 had combat effectiveness.

One more battleship was sunk, and the Japanese battleships were 8 more, equal in number to the Chinese battleships, and the distance was only 1 kilometer away.

In the battle at sea, there is a lot of room for maneuver between the warships, and the Chinese warships are lined up, in fact, they are not straight ones, but slowly adjusted into an arc, the focus is the Japanese fleet, and the arc length is as long as 5 kilometers, and there is a distance of hundreds of meters between each warship, which is enough for the Japanese warships to storm over.

In the last 1 kilometer, all the Japanese cruisers were sunk under the shelling of the Chinese Navy and the air raids of airships.

There were 8 more battleships, but only 4 were intact, and the other 4 were already flooded and slowing down.

But Togo Hei Hachiro couldn't give up those 4 battleships, he had to press the speed of the entire battleship and rush over together.

The last kilometer was finally completed, and two more were injured, but the air threat was temporarily lifted, and seeing the airships hovering in the sky with nowhere to go, Togo Heihachi knew that he was halfway there.

But then came the biggest challenge, but the advantage and disadvantage were reversed, because now the Japanese navy could fire at full strength, and the Chinese fleet didn't know why, they had always been in a line, which made them now the bow of the ship firing guns, and the Japanese could open the flanks.

Although I don't know why the Chinese fleet has such a mistake, but Togo Heihachi will not let go of this good opportunity, he immediately ordered the fleet, cut into the middle of the Chinese fleet, fire freely, and fire at the Chinese fleet nearby, at this time their position allows them to have double the firepower of the Chinese fleet, they will definitely be able to defeat the Chinese navy, and the sky has begun to darken, after destroying the Chinese fleet, they will definitely be able to return to Tokyo safely by night.

But at this time, Togo Hei Ba saw that the smoke of the Chinese flagship Xiamen suddenly rose from the chimney, and he was very familiar with this phenomenon, which showed that the diesel engine of the Chinese warship was running at full power.

Momentarily surprised, Dongxiang Heibachi immediately understood what the Chinese wanted to do, because he would do the same if he were to do it.

"Open fire with all your might, don't give the Chinese fleet a chance to get closer!"

At the same time that Togo Heihachi gave the order to open fire, he issued another order.

At the same time, Sa Zhenbing's order was also issued, and his order was only eight words:

"Die with the enemy and sink Yoshino!"

Yoshino is long gone, but this last order given by Deng Shichang has inspired an entire generation of officers and men of the Beiyang Navy.

After giving this order, Sa Zhenbing was the first to rush to the nearest Japanese battleship, which was Japan's first dreadnought-class battleship, a battleship built by the British for Japan, and then the Japanese used this warship as a model to develop their own batch of Dreadnought-class.

After Liu Guanxiong received Sa Zhenbing's order, he was the first to understand, and when he sank Yoshino, he immediately ordered the captain to crash into the nearest Japanese battleship, the Kirishima.

The Japanese artillery fired wildly, but they could not stop the Chinese battleships rushing towards them at full speed.

But at this time, the airship in the sky could only wander forward, and the remnant sun was like blood projecting a long shadow on the warship, laying it on the sea, like a wandering lonely soul.

Time is running out, and it's getting dark soon.

"Ask the airship troop brothers, bomb with all your might, the Beiyang people have died in the first day of the war, and today's battle is a lonely soul!"

Yang Chao couldn't help but sigh after receiving Sa Zhenbing's telegram.

He never returned to land, but wandered in the distance where the battle could not be seen, but the battle situation was always transmitted.

"The navy is always much stronger than the army in the first day. Deng Shichang and the others maintained the last bit of brilliance on Li Hongzhang's old face. ”

Yang Chao couldn't help but sigh.

"My lord, us?"

Gong Mingde also felt a burst of sadness, and the setting sun passed through the window of the airship, reflecting his face red.

"Fulfill them!"

Just a few words seemed to exhaust Yang Chao's last strength, and he fell deep on the sofa and closed his eyes.

"Homecoming!"

He's going home. (To be continued.) )
