Chapter 213 The First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle 2013 Edition

ps: Thank you for the great "Zizhu" reward heaven 466 vertical and horizontal coins, thank you ^_^, another heaven has a question, I want to ask everyone, why is the book review area so deserted? Heaven occasionally goes to see "Revolution 1938", "Super Far Eastern Empire", and "1949 I Come from the Future" to learn from ideas. I feel that the book review discussion there is so lively, but when I come back to myself, the comparison is very cold, and I am a little confused, what is the reason? Tell Heaven all of you?

On July 25, 1894, the Japanese fleet attacked the warships of the Yanhuang Qing Dynasty and sank their troop carriers off the coast of Toshima in the eastern Yellow Sea. On August 1, the Qing Dynasty, which was extremely weak, declared war on the Japanese invaders. In mid-September, the Japanese invaded the Korean army and attacked the Qing Dynasty defenders stationed in Pyongyang in four ways, and the Qing government in Beijing decided to transport 5,000 soldiers from Dalian to Dadonggou for reinforcements, and hired five merchant ships for this purpose, and the main force of the Beiyang Fleet undertook the escort task.

On the afternoon of 16 September, the Beiyang Fleet escorted five merchant ships into the Dadonggou Bay, Admiral Ding Ruchang ordered two gunboats and torpedo boats to escort the troop transports into the bay, two cruisers "Pingyuan" and "Guangbing" anchored outside the bay to stand guard, and the rest of the ships sailed to the southeast sea of Daludao, 12 nautical miles from the bay, to stand by.

At 5 p.m. on 16 September, Ito Youhyung, a Japanese would-be would-be leader, led 12 warships of the Combined Fleet of Japanese Invaders to search for the northern part of the Yellow Sea from the Yuyindong anchorage at the mouth of the Taedong River in North Korea. The sequence of voyages was a single column, with the four fast cruisers "Yoshino", "Takachiho", "Akitsuzu", and "Naniwa" forming the first guerrilla group in the front, eight coastal defense boats "Matsushima", "Itsukushima", and "Hashidate" and eight cruisers "Fuso", "Chiyoda", and "Hiei" forming the main team in the center, and the gunboat "Akagi" and the converted cruiser "Saikyo Maru" in the rear. Ito himself took the "Matsushima" as his flagship, and Vice Admiral Shikini Kayama, the head of the Uko Navy (equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the Navy), supervised the battle with the "Saikyo Maru" as the ship.

At 12:50 a.m. on September 17, the two sides met and exchanged fire, and the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle broke out.

At this time, in the game world, in the Yellow Sea, the "expanded" Beiyang Naval Division met the Japanese Combined Fleet again.

"Liu Wenkai (old cat), should we discuss tactics before the two sides enter the range of the battleship." Li Qing, editor of "Ship Knowledge", suggested.

"That's right, if you don't scatter the sand and fight on your own, it's easier to be broken by the enemy." Wu Jing, editor of "Weapons", nodded.

"Bian Li, Bian Wu, you are experts in warships and naval warfare, what do you think we should do?" Hearing the suggestion, Liu Wenkai (old cat) replied politely.

"Wu Jing, do you say that according to Ding Ruchang's wedge-shaped shock tactics in history, keep the bow of the ship against the enemy, or like the Japanese Kou, we will each form two teams and attack the enemy's 1st guerrilla force and the main fleet respectively?" Li Qing, editor of "Ship Knowledge", asked.

"I think it's better to follow a wedge battle sequence. Historically, the reason why the Japanese were so formed was because the ships of the 1st Guerrilla Force had a speed of more than 18 knots, which was an absolute fast ship at that time. Because of the age of the ships, the equipment has become older and the speed of the ship has slowed down, and they cannot keep up with their speed. In addition, the disadvantage of the wedge-shaped battle formation in history is that the two wings are too weak, and the friendly ships are distributed on both sides of Dingyuan and Zhenyuan, which restricts the movement of the main battleships and cannot maneuver at will. And now we have 8 Dingyuan-class ironclad ships, which can completely make up for the shortcomings of the wedge-shaped battle formation. We also put Dingyuan and Zhenyuan ships in the middle, and the remaining six Dingyuan ships are divided into two groups to strengthen the strength of the two wings and improve the overall firepower and protection. In this way, no matter how Ito makes a move, we are not afraid. ”

"Agreed, I agreed!" The "old cat", who is completely a layman in naval warfare tactics, nodded and said: "Yu Hua and I are both laymen in naval warfare, such simple tactics are more suitable for us, if it is a pursuit war or a cooperation war, I am afraid that we will mess up and help us." ”

"I also agree, then now everyone immediately changes formation, Liu Wenkai and Yu Hua are in the center, Wu Jing, you take 2 ships to strengthen the left wing, and I take 2 ships to strengthen the right wing."

"Roger, now start turning the rudder, everyone be careful, don't collide with each other and cause non-combat attrition."

"Okay!"

"Understood!"

At 12:20 a.m. on September 17, 1894, the Beiyang Naval Division began to change formations and strengthen the two wings of the battle formation. At 12:30, the two sides entered 12,000 meters, and the Beiyang Naval Division completed the formation, and at the same time, the commander-in-chief of the opposing side, Ito Youheng, according to historical records, ordered the 1st Guerrilla Group to break through the right flank of the Beiyang Fleet first. At 12:50, the two sides entered 5,300 meters, and the 305-mm main guns of the eight Dingyuan ships opened fire.

"Fire!"

"Put!"

"Fuck me!"

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

"Hit!"

"Attack!"

"Little devil, it's time for me to take revenge!"

Through God's perspective, you can clearly see the Beiyang naval division distributed in a wedge-shape, the bow of the ship against the enemy, one after another 305mm main guns spewed out angry flames, and the roar of cannons continued to play in the battlering waters. Soon, the combined fleet of the Japanese also returned fire.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom~Boom~" (the sound of the sea being hit and a column of water gushing out)

For naval warfare, where there is no radar and only the intuition and experience of sailors, hitting the enemy at a long distance requires considerable character. However, it is a pity that none of the eight newspaper and periodical workers who participated in the naval battle had such high character, and they had to swallow the results of the first shot.

"Beware of the enemy's approach, pay attention to the distance, the Japanese ship has several rapid-fire guns, and the port station is not good for us."

"Understood."

"Thanks for the reminder!"

"And everyone pay attention to the inventory of shells, this thing is not infinite, there is a fixed number, and if you run out of battleships, it will really become a burning stick." Yu Hua, a newcomer to "Computer News", remembered another detail and hurriedly reminded him.

“ok!”

"Haha, I'm glad you said it, otherwise I really forgot!"

Ten minutes later, the 1st Guerrilla Group of the Combined Fleet of the Japanese Army, which was on the surface of the sea and in the southwest direction, accelerated its turn to the left, intending to bypass the battle formation of the Beiyang Fleet in order to achieve the goal of breaking through the right flank of the Beiyang Fleet. At the same time, during the detour, the 1st Guerrilla Force also stormed the "Chaoyong" and "Yang Wei" ships on the right flank of Beiyang. According to the real history in the game, the ships controlled by these two NPCs are not afraid of strong enemies and fight hard.

"Li Qing, pay attention to the "Chao Yong" and "Yang Wei" who are covering your right flank, according to history, they will be fired at at 1,600 meters from four warships including the Japanese "Yoshino" a few minutes later, that is, at 13:05, and after being shot and catching fire, they will not wait to withdraw from the battlefield. Wu Jing, who was on the left flank, shouted.

"Understood, don't worry! TMD, why can't you shoot! Li Qing cursed as he replied.

"The hit rate depends on the quality and ability of the shooter you choose, plus the influence of unexpected parameters such as weather and wind speed, which means that it has a lot to do with the vision of your previous selection." Liu Yang of the public relations department of Jinfan Company said in the form of a prompt: "Because the selling point of our company's games is the sense of realism and substitution, like Almighty God, saving mankind can be completed by only one person, which will not appear in our company's naval battle online games." The player can choose to be the captain of the ship, give orders, decide the route of the ship and the timing of the gun, but the result of the gun and the rate of fire are completely dependent on the NPC selected earlier, of course, if friends form a team, one person will be the captain, and the others will be the front and rear gunners. But in any case, you have to be in line with the reality, you have to trust your NPC subordinates or real friends, you can't do everything yourself. ”

"Boom!" A 305mm shell hit the Yoshino, which was running at the front, and a fire broke out on it.

"Yay~~~ hit!" Hearing the computer prompt, Yu Hua, who knew that it was his warship that hit, shouted excitedly.

"Great!"

"Hooray!"

"Haha!"

"Attention, careful!"

"Boom~~ Whoa!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Not long after the rejoicing, as the distance between the two armies was getting closer and closer, and the Beiyang Naval Division also had ships, they were hit by the guns of the Japanese warships one after another, and for a time the computer-controlled "Zhiyuan" was hit by two bullets, and the "Chaoyong" was hit by three shots, and the ship immediately billowed with black smoke and flames.

"Fire!"

"Attack!"

"You're looking at the dots! nnd, I'm in a hurry! ”

The eight people who participated in the game were already fully engaged at this time, and they all nervously looked at the scene of the two main forward guns firing outside the bow of the ship. Or after discovering that your ship has been shot, quickly bring up the menu and issue orders for damage repair, fire extinguishing, etc.

At 13:28, the 1st Guerrilla Brigade led by the "Yoshino", although under the order of Ito Yuhiro, tried its best to keep a distance from the Dingyuan-class ironclad ships, the main force of the Beiyang Naval Division, to avoid the damage of the 305mm large-caliber guns of the Beiyang Naval Division, and at the same time concentrated fire on the enemy's inferior ships. But after all, the strength of the Beiyang Naval Division that participated in the war has increased greatly, especially the main Dingyuan ship, which has suddenly become 8 ships, and there are no dead ends and weaknesses on the left, center, and right, so under the large number effect and the law of large numbers, the "Yoshino" in the highest position was hit by 305mm shells one after another, and the "Gao Qianhui" and "Akitsuzu" followed closely and did not run away, only the "Naniwa" in the lowest position escaped by luck.

At 13:53, the "Yoshino" was hit by bullets in many places, the hull of the ship was uneven, the front main gun was even more disabled, only the rear main gun was still usable, the chimney of the hull was also interrupted, half of the superstructure caught fire and burned, and most of the power of the entire ship was lost.

"Concentrate your firepower and bombard Yoshino first!"

"Bombard Yoshino!"

"Yes!"

"Call me!"

The "old cats" who saw the opportunity quickly gave full play to the glorious tradition of the Yanhuang people to "beat the water dogs", and regardless of the attacks of other Japanese warships, concentrated all 305mm guns of the eight Dingyuan capital ships and bombarded Yoshino, whose speed was slowing down. Four minutes later, as the ammunition depot was broken through and detonated, the Yoshino, the new capital ship of the Japanese Combined Fleet, exploded in half and sank to the bottom of the sea with a "boom".

"Yay~~"

"Well done!"

"Hmm~~~"

"Keep up the good work!"

Everyone couldn't help but cheer and congratulate when they saw the sinking of the Yoshino.

Soon after, at 14:07, the Beiyang Naval Division anchored in the Dadonggou Bay "Pingyuan", "Guangbing" two cruisers rushed to participate in the battle, although their strength is too weak, can not play a practical role in the battle situation, but to see the number of ships in their own fleet increased, it is still very inspiring, the players are affected by this, more hard into the battle.

14:47.

"Boom!"

"Huh? What's going on? Wu Jing, the editor of "Weapons", only felt that the white light flashed in front of him, and he lost the picture, and asked anxiously.

"I'm sorry, the game system has determined that the bow of your Dingyuan ship was shot in the front, and everyone including the pipe belt was killed, and now your warship is under the command of Zeng Ying, the former gunner of the NPC." Liu Yang of the public relations department explained through audio.

"Damn, bastard, can't you let me go back?" Wu Jing was a little unsatisfied and unsatisfied.

"I'm really sorry for this, but there is really no function in the game of resurrection of the dead, I'll give you a god's perspective, so that you can watch the whole battle behind." Liu Yang was also very embarrassed when he heard Wu Jing's request, but he really couldn't do it, so he could only apologize.

"Brothers, come on, you must avenge me!" Unconsciously, because of the deepening of the relationship between the game and the "old cat" and others, Wu Jing, who was automatically upgraded to brotherhood, shouted loudly.

"Don't worry, I'll avenge you!"

"Look at me, fire, kill!"

"Avenge Wu Jing!"

"Little devil, take your life!"

After hearing that his own people were "killed", the other seven people directly evolved into rabbits and killed the combined fleet of the Japanese with red eyes.
