The Fuso was heavily damaged, and the most anxious thing was the battleship Kongo, originally the two warships were attacking together, the task was to jointly drag the Chinese warship, and then wait for the battleship Mutsu to rush over, and now they have received a telegram from the Mutsu, and it is only an hour away from here, but the Fuso has been disabled, and it seems that it will not last for an hour.

If you didn't wait for the Michinoku to come over, the Japanese warship would have sunk first, and it would have been lively, just like when fishing, the fish ate the bait, and then left calmly, which was simply a slap in the Japanese face, and the Japanese Venus was all over the place.

You must know that this is not a simple bait, but a 30,000-ton giant ship, which is completely a sea monster piled up with money, and such a warship can almost equip an army division.

Therefore, the King Kong tried its best to shoot at the Chongqing, trying to send the Chongqing to the bottom of the sea as soon as possible, but the Chongqing was far more tenacious than the Japanese imagined, and the German armor once again showed excellent performance, the Chongqing had already suffered ten shells, and the entire warship was already in tatters.

There was blood everywhere, black smoke and fire could be seen everywhere, and hundreds of Chinese sailors had died, but the Chongqing looked scarred, and in fact it did not affect the combat effectiveness too much, only one turret was blasted open, which weakened the firepower, but the ship was still stubbornly entangled with the King Kong.

On the contrary, the Kongo only suffered five or six shells, and the caliber of the shells was only 280 mm, but it caused serious damage to the Kongo, and a shot was taken under the waterline on the side of the ship, which had sent out a hole in the armor, and the sea water continued to pour into it, so that the whole warship began to tilt a little, and even affected the stability, making it much more difficult to aim, and the bow and stern were shelled, and the black wounds seemed to be mocking the Japanese Navy, this level of defense was indeed too weak.

Battleships were not as defensive as battlecruisers. I can't say anything. These Japanese soldiers also played with their lives, and they desperately moved closer to the Chongqing, hoping to close the distance and bombard the Chongqing to the bottom of the sea with superior main guns.

Another shell exploded on the Chongqing, this one hit the bow of the ship, one turret was destroyed, and now the Chongqing has only three complete turrets left. The firepower is equal to twice as weak, and the captain Shen Honglie's head is full of beads of sweat at this time, and he knows very well that the situation on the battlefield has become very clear now, and it depends on who can't stand it first, Fusang or Chongqing.

If the Fusang is finished, the Guangxi will be able to assist the Chongqing in sending the King Kong to hell, and the same will be true if the Chongqing cannot support it. The Guangxi will face the attack of the King Kong and Fusang, and the outcome will be unpredictable at that time.

Shen Honglie is also a figure in the original modern history, he was born in the former Qing Dynasty, and went to Japan to study the navy, and later became the founder of the Northeast Navy, and is the confidant of Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Xueliang's father and son.

In today's historical time and space, although Zhang Zuolin also has a respected status. But after all, he didn't become the king of the Northeast. Naturally, there was no chance to recruit subordinates, and Shen Honglie entered the sequence of the Sichuan Navy. Now serving as the captain of the Chongqing, he is also a very promising figure in the navy.

Qiao Yu has a concept, that is, if you can be an apprentice, you should not be an apprentice, so most of the generals of the Chinese Navy went to Europe to study, especially during World War I, China sent a considerable number of officers to Britain for internships, and even directly participated in the Battle of Jutland, and after the deterioration of Sino-British relations, Qiao Yu hired some German officers.

Therefore, there are not many people in the entire navy who have a background of studying in Japan, and Shen Honglie is a very special example, but it is precisely because he went to Japan to study that Shen Honglie has a deeper understanding of the madness of this island country for the navy, and at the same time he is also worried about China's maritime power.

When will China really go to the ocean!

In the past, Shen Honglie was desperate in the face of Japan's giant ships, and he didn't even dare to think that the Chinese Navy would catch up one day, but in just a few years, China had its own capital ships, aircraft carriers and battleships were under construction, so that the Navy finally saw hope, and Shen Honglie even went crazy with joy.

When he was resting in Qinzhou, as long as he was fine, Shen Honglie would go back to the shipyard to have a look, and as long as he saw the warships under construction, he could forget all his troubles, as if the cold steel could bring him great comfort.

It is precisely because of all the feelings poured into the navy that Shen Honglie knew the importance of this naval battle, for the Chinese Navy has not really completed the rebirth, and the Beiyang Navy of that year, the main ships of the Chinese Navy are all reconstructed, none of them are produced by China itself, and the naval talents are just maturing, and now what China needs most is victory.

Even if it is to pay all the costs to win the victory, only victory can give the nascent Chinese Navy the courage to face any of the powers, and the Chinese Navy can truly safeguard China's maritime interests.

"Convey my order to everyone, the time has come to sacrifice your life for righteousness, and to serve your family and country, everyone must stick to their combat posts, maintain their determination to die, and do not have any fear!"

Shen Honglie was asking the herald to give an order, when he suddenly felt a violent shaking, and the Chongqing suffered another shell, which hit the side of the ship, and a hole with a diameter of more than one meter appeared on the Chongqing, and the seawater began to pour into the ship!

The situation became more and more critical, Shen Honglie hurriedly ordered people to go and plug the loophole, and just when the King Kong hit the Chongqing, the two shells of the Chongqing also hit the middle of the King Kong, and the horizontal armor of the King Kong was only 37 mm thick, which was too weak for a nearly 30,000-ton warship.

Moreover, it had been hit by a cannonball before, the deck had been deformed, and the defense ability was even lower, and the two cannonballs penetrated the deck and entered the interior of the King Kong, and the sound of a violent explosion pierced out in an instant, and this explosion sound was not the same as the sound, it was even greater and more shocking.

Just as this explosion ended, there was another thunderous sound inside the Kongo, which spread rapidly from the middle of the ship, and the Japanese soldiers who were close to it were all embarrassed by this violent vibration, and they were covered with scars from the impact, and this thunder-like explosion was continuous, almost able to shock people out of internal injuries!

It turned out that these two shells managed to penetrate the horizontal armor and hit the ammunition compartment. Detonate all shells stored in the ammunition compartment. There was a terrifying explosion, and the entire Kongo shook up and down above the sea as if it had been struck by an evil spirit.

Immediately after that, there was a sound of steel breaking in the middle, and the giant ship that dominated the sea finally showed its vulnerable side, and a terrifying fracture appeared on the warship, and soon the King Kong broke into two sections and quickly sank into the sea.

See this. Shen Honglie was almost speechless in surprise, he had actually made up his mind to die against the King Kong, he knew very well that whether it was tonnage, firepower, or speed, Chongqing and King Kong were not at the same level at all, and what was even worse was that the quality of the Chinese Navy could not be compared with the Japanese Combined Fleet, which had been in a big war for a long time. This can be seen from the rate of artillery hits on both sides, and land battles often involve the defeat of the weak over the strong, but naval battles are difficult to do.

The navy is known as a high-tech branch of the armed forces, but in fact the competition is the industrial capacity and the military quality of the personnel; those with small tonnage cannot beat those with large tonnage, and those with strong firepower can bully those with weak firepower.

For example, in the famous Battle of Midway, the U.S. military also used three aircraft carriers against four Japanese ones. The gap is actually not too big.

Shen Honglie was already ready to exchange the sacrifice of the Chongqing for the Fusang. How do you know that the King Kong sank first, it was too unexpected. All the Chinese soldiers aboard the Chongqing were dumbfounded, and almost no one could believe that it was true.

However, they didn't have much time to be surprised, there was still the Fuso that had not been sunk, and the seaplanes sent out had already detected the traces of the battleship Mutsu, which meant that if China did not sink the Fuso as soon as possible, it would have to face the big guy of the Okulu.

It was a complete sea giant, more than 40,000 tons of super warships, not to mention that the Guangxi and Chongqing were scarred, even if they were in good condition, they did not dare to fight with the Aolu, so the ideal thing now is to sink the Fusang as soon as possible, and then retreat at full speed to avoid the edge.

At this time, the Fusang was already above the attack of the Guangxi, the superstructure was all destroyed, the entire warship was shrouded in fire, and only the sporadic secondary guns were still firing back, which also showed the tenacity of the Japanese.

Chongqing was able to sink the battleship King Kong, which also surprised Tang Qianming, it seems that God has eyes, and finally stood on the side of China, Tang Qianming also knew that time was tight now, if the Aolu arrived, his own situation would be in danger, and he hurriedly ordered the Guangxi and Chongqing to launch torpedoes together, and a full eight torpedoes were shot out, and the dying Fusang was also sent to the bottom of the sea.

The Chinese Navy was two against two, and completely annihilated two Japanese battleships, which is something worth celebrating in any case, but such a record was also exchanged for the blood of soldiers, and the two warships were scarred, with one-third of the soldiers on the Chongqing and more than 200 soldiers on the Guangxi who died on the combat post.

However, the battleship Mutsu was about to rush over, Tang Qianming hurriedly commanded the two warships to retreat, and at this moment, Chen Shaokuan's telegram also came, it turned out that the Chinese aircraft carrier formation had rushed over, only 230 kilometers away from the place of engagement, Chen Shaokuan also learned the news of the attack of the battleship Mutsu, and he had a strong interest in such a giant ship that could be called the symbol of the Japanese Navy.

Sending the Mutsu to the bottom of the sea is of great significance to change the contrast between the strength and weakness of China and Japan, so Chen Shaokuan gave Tang Qianming the task of luring the enemy, they want to attract the Olu to the aircraft carrier formation as much as possible, and then China will sink the Olu with its powerful naval aviation.

The Start, Chaoyong, and Yangwei combined had a total of 130 carrier-based aircraft of various types, and they were very sure of sinking the Olympus.

Although Tang Qianming had some doubts about the aircraft carrier formation's dispatch, didn't the coastal areas need to be protected? However, he also knew that this was a time of war, not a place to say that his family was short, he had to obey orders, and Tang Qianming was also extremely excited at this time, if he could really sink the battleship Mutsu, the strength and weakness of the Chinese and Japanese navies would immediately reverse, and the time to raise his eyebrows and puff himself up!
