A 533 mm heavy torpedo accurately hit the stern of the battlecruiser 'Hiei', making all his previous efforts in vain. In order to avoid the torpedoes fired by the light cruiser "Bull Taurus", the "Hiei" battlecruiser rushed to the left and right, as if it were a brute bull. Fortunately, the first five torpedoes dodged, but, unfortunately, the last torpedo did not.

In the violent explosion of the torpedo, two propellers were blown away. The battlecruiser Hiei used four-axle propulsion. After losing two propellers, the speed of the battleship will undoubtedly be reduced by more than half. In addition, the stern of the ship is seriously flooded, and even after the loophole is plugged, the battleship will be flooded too much, resulting in a continuous decrease in speed.

"What's going on? Quick to report damage management? Yoshikawa got up from the deck in embarrassment and shouted loudly. When the explosion occurred just now, he did not stand firmly, so that he was thrown onto the deck, very embarrassed. However, he didn't care about anything else, and from the violent explosion he knew that the battlecruiser 'Hiei' had been hit again. This made Yoshikawa Yasuhei Osa couldn't help but feel anxious.

After all, being hit by a heavy torpedo, that's definitely not a joke. In particular, the armor of the "Hiei" battlecruiser was very weak, and it could not withstand the destruction of heavy torpedoes. Such trauma is almost fatal.

"Your Excellency, the stern of the ship was hit, and the two propellers were blown off. At the same time, several compartments in the stern of the ship were very seriously flooded, and the damage management personnel were plugging the leaks. A few minutes later, a staff officer replied.

"Yaga!" Yoshikawa Yasuhei couldn't help but scold angrily. Such a trauma was a completely unbearable blow for the battlecruiser Hiei. Coupled with the fact that it is now also being pursued by the Imperial Navy, it is completely fatal.

"Repair as much as possible to increase the speed of the battleship. And then. Turning to the Northeast, we need to get back home as soon as possible. Otherwise, we're dead. Yoshikawa Yasuhei Osaku ordered.

So far, they can only think of ways to increase the speed of the battleship, and then escape back to the country as soon as possible. Otherwise, if it is caught up by the capital ships of the Imperial Navy. That's really a dead end. Yoshikawa Yasuhei Daisa could even feel that the capital ships of the Chinese Navy were getting closer and closer to them. Maybe in a few hours, we'll catch up with them.

In order to launch a lightning strike on the battlecruiser "Hiei", the light cruiser "Bull Taurus" of the Imperial Navy also paid a heavy price. During the charge, it was repeatedly hit by the 152-mm secondary guns of the battlecruiser Hiei, and the superstructure and hull were severely damaged. Fortunately, it was not hit by the 356 mm guns of the battlecruiser 'Hiei'. Otherwise, you will suffer a heavy blow. Or even sunk.

After firing the torpedo, the light cruiser "Bull Taurus" broke away in the shortest possible time by virtue of its speed advantage. However, because the battleship was not lightly damaged. Therefore, the light cruiser "Niu Taurus" gave the task of tracking down the battlecruiser "Hiei" to the heavy cruiser "Youji", and he himself needed to return to the shipyard in the Ryukyu Islands to repair it.

The battered battlecruiser Hiei was losing speed. Because two propellers were blown up, the battleship of Canada was flooded too much. As a result, the battlecruiser Hiei could not guarantee even half the speed, and could only maintain a speed of ten knots at most. This made the Imperial Navy's battleship 'Zhuan'. It can shorten the distance by a full thirteen nautical miles per hour. In addition, the battlecruiser 'Hiei' turned hastily, so that the distance between the two sides was further reduced. Therefore, it only took six or seven hours for the battleship "Hiei" to catch up with the battlecruiser "Hiei".

In addition, the Imperial Navy's heavy cruiser "Youji" will not let the "Hiei" battlecruiser repair the wounds so easily. At a distance of 15,000 kilometers from the battlecruiser 'Hiei'. The three triple 50-caliber 210 mm guns were still being used to pour out shells. Except for the command tower and turret armor of the 'Hiei' battlecruiser, the armor in the rest of the place could not withstand the 210 mm main gun. If the power compartment of the Hiei battlecruiser can be damaged in one fell swoop, then the speed of the Hiei battlecruiser will be further reduced. The battleship "Zhuan" was able to catch up in a shorter time. When the time comes. The chances of the Hirei battlecruiser escaping will be even lower.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The three triple 210-mm main guns of the heavy cruiser 'Youji' continued to fire, and the shells continued to explode on the hull of the battleship 'Hiei', which further aggravated the already seriously damaged hull.

"Yaga! Are the people of China trying to drive us to a dead end? The main guns, as best they can, opened fire, and only by sinking the heavy cruiser of the Chinese people can we get rid of their tracking and escape. Yoshikawa Yasuhei Osaku ordered.

The four twin 45-caliber 356 mm guns of the battlecruiser Hiei were constantly firing. However, the results achieved were very small. Because the superstructure was badly damaged, some of the equipment of the fire control system was also blown up, so that the accuracy of their shelling continued to decline. If you want to hit the heavy cruiser 'Youji' of the Imperial Navy, it will undoubtedly be more difficult than ascending to the sky.

At 12:34 p.m., the battlecruiser Hiei suffered another heavy damage. In this round of salvo fire, two shells hit the battlecruiser Hiei. A cannonball hit the stern of the battlecruiser Hiei, and once again blew a large hole in the stern, causing the hole that had been so hard to be plugged to crack once again. The damage management personnel had to find a way to re-plug the leak. Otherwise, if more and more water is ingress, it will not only seriously affect the speed of the "Hiei" battlecruiser, but also may cause fatal consequences.

Another shell hit the chimney of the battlecruiser 'Hiei'. A thick chimney was blown off directly, and when it fell, it blew up part of the superstructure. At the same time, the toxic gases in the boiler could not be discharged, and it spread in the boiler room, poisoning many Japanese sailors. What's more, the pressure of the boiler continued to drop, which further affected the power output, making the speed of the battleship further decrease.

Originally, the speed of the battlecruiser 'Hiei' was able to maintain about ten knots. But now, the speed has decreased further, and it can be maintained for five or six knots, which is already the blessing of Amaterasu. And this undoubtedly put the "Hiei" battlecruiser almost in a desperate situation. Originally, it would have taken six or seven hours for the Imperial Navy's battleship "Zhuan" to catch up with the "Hiei" battlecruiser. But now, it takes less than five hours to catch up. It was four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still two or three hours before the sun went down, which was enough for the battleship "Zhuei" to send the battlecruiser "Hiei" to the bottom of the sea.

At this time, in order to protect its own safety, the heavy cruiser "Youji" of the Imperial Navy once again widened the distance between it and the "Hiei" battlecruiser. What he needs to do now is to keep up with the battlecruiser Hiei and not let the other side slip away. As long as the battleship "Zhuei" arrived, the battlecruiser "Hiei" was dead.

Yoshikawa Yasuhei Osa saw the heavy cruiser "Youji" that was moving away, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He knew that the capital ship of the Chinese Navy must be on its way and would arrive soon. Therefore, the heavy cruiser "Youji" followed the "Hiei" from a distance and did not continue to approach, which was also to prevent the "Hiei" battlecruiser from hitting the heavy cruiser "Youji".

The officers and men of the Japanese Navy on the battlecruiser Hiei were almost in despair. Now they are like death row prisoners waiting to be sentenced, and their fate is about to be announced.

At 4:24 p.m., after a long journey, the Imperial Navy's battleship "Zhuan" finally arrived at the battlefield, and three triple 381 mm guns of 50 times the caliber began to fire at the "Hiei" battlecruiser.

Although, by this time, the 'Hiei' battlecruiser had not given up and was still fighting the beast. However, his counterattack was so weak and vulnerable in front of the battleship "Zhuan".

At 4:34 p.m., the battleship "Zhuan" completed the straddle fire and began to enter the concentrated fire.

Four minutes later, the first shell hit the battlecruiser Hiei, a 381-mm shell that blew up the superstructure of the battlecruiser Hiei.

At 4:41 a.m., the battleship Tsukishi hit the battlecruiser Hiei again, causing a large hole in its foredeck and affecting its two main turrets.

Two minutes later, the battleship "Zhuai" penetrated the underwater armor of the battlecruiser "Hiei" and blew a large hole. Although the damage management personnel on the battlecruiser 'Hiei' tried desperately to plug the loopholes, they were all in vain.

Ten minutes later, the battered battlecruiser Hiei overturned in the water. In less than two minutes, it sank into the sea. It took only half an hour from the arrival of the battleship "Tsubi" to the sinking of the battlecruiser "Hiei". (To be continued.) )
