The rain of shells fired by the Tenryu and Yunlong ships generally fell around the Chiyoda ship, and the splashes of water did not stop falling on the Chiyoda ship, and the Chiyoda ship also had a very interesting feature, that is, the captain's command position was on the mast closest to the bow of the ship, and the splash of water was just under the nose of Masatoshi Uchida.

When Uchida Masatoshi saw that his battleship was being violently hit by two mysterious warships, he was furious and shouted, "Open the cannon, fire it immediately." ”

The Japanese sailors were well-trained and ready to fire under the conditions of a rush to meet the battle, and the No. 9 gun position at the stern of the ship was the first to complete the ranging measurement, and the shells and propellant packs were also loaded, just as the gunners were about to pull the firing rope, suddenly a terrible whistling sound fell from the sky, and a cannonball hit the stern of the ship.

The Japanese sailors only heard an explosion that almost burst their eardrums, and then a wave of air rushed to their faces, and the sailors of the eighth, ninth and tenth gun positions in the stern of the ship were all rushed out, and the Chiyoda ship had a very peculiar structure, that is, its side side was a large piece higher than the main deck of the ship, and the side side had a window-like structure, and the guns were set up in these "windows", and these sailors who were rushed away slammed into the side side solidly, and the side side was made of steel, and the sailors immediately broke their heads and bled when they hit it.

The wind brought by the march of the battleship quickly blew away the smoke of the explosion, and I saw that these sailors who were blown up were all covered in blood, and their bodies were full of blood holes, and the shell that exploded was a high-explosive shell, and the lethal fragments instantly killed and wounded the sailors on the three gun emplacements.

The Japanese sailors who had experienced the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle were no strangers to death and bloodshed, and when the medics saw someone falling to the ground, they immediately rushed forward, carried away the bodies of the dead, and carried the wounded to the infirmary for emergency treatment.

The firefighters also took action, rushed to the vicinity of the explosion point with the fire hose, the explosion point has already caught fire, in the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan used "Shimose gunpowder", this gunpowder has an incendiary agent, after the explosion will ignite a fire, the Beiyang Navy suffered a big loss of this gunpowder, Lin Fei before the war with Japan, also filled the trinitrotoluene explosives with incendiary agent, and the Japanese warships also suffered the loss of incendiary at this time.

As soon as the medic and firefighters acted, they naturally interfered with the gunners who were aiming, and the Chiyoda had just been shot, and all the previous aiming was in vain, and it had to be re-aimed, and the timing of the cannon was postponed again.

The medics were treating the sailors, the firefighters were extinguishing the fire, and another high-explosive bomb exploded on the Chiyoda ship, and it so happened that the landing point of this shell was near the explosion point of the previous shell, and the fragments of the explosion directly covered the medics and firefighters, and there was an instant wail on the deck, and the medics held the severed limbs and shouted "medics", and the firefighters slapped the flames on their bodies and shouted "firefighters".

Chiyoda was hit by two bullets in the hull, the smoke was thick, the wind washed the black smoke to the gun position, the gunners aimed more difficult, Lin Fei in the distance saw the appearance of the Chiyoda ship, excitedly grabbed the microphone of the blue bird machine, and shouted loudly: "Tianlong ship, Yunlong ship, fight beautifully, continue to fight, sink it for me..."

The gunners on the two battleships had Lin Fei's encouragement, they fought more vigorously, and the shells were loaded faster, and after another minute, an armor-piercing shell hit the hull of the Chiyoda ship under the waterline, and the entire battleship was slammed and shaken, and the thickness of the armor under the waterline of the Chiyoda ship was fifty millimeters, and it was completely powerless to resist Lin Fei's armor-piercing shell, and the underwater hull was suddenly torn open a big hole.

The location of the shell hit was boiler room No. 1, and the Chiyoda ship was equipped with six coal-fired boilers, which were arranged in three compartments, No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3.

Seawater instantly poured into the No. 1 boiler room, the boiler is one of the most dangerous parts of the battleship in this era, the boiler is full of high temperature and high pressure steam, there is an explosion here, the entire warship is finished, in the Yellow Sea naval battle at the beginning of Lin Fei's crossing, Lin Fei helped the Zhiyuan ship crash into the Yoshino ship, and the Yoshino ship then had a boiler explosion and sank into the sea.

The Japanese sailors immediately shut down the two boilers, opened the pressure relief valves, and released high temperature and high pressure steam, during which time the sea water swallowed up the boiler room, and the captain Uchida Masatoshi had to order the watertight valve to be closed and the No. 1 steam room to protect the ship.

The Chiyoda ship lost two boilers, a large amount of seawater poured into the hull again, the speed slowed down instantly, and the battleship tilted to the left, Uchida Masatoshi had to order the Chiyoda ship to withdraw from the battle and retreat in the direction of Penghu.

In this way, at 14:12, the Chiyoda ship began to withdraw from the battlefield, Lin Fei saw the Chiyoda ship withdraw, and quickly thought about the next battle in his heart, and there were two options in front of Lin Fei, one was to pursue and destroy the Chiyoda ship, and the other was to let the Chiyoda ship escape and annihilate the transport ship.

At this time, there were five transport ships on the sea, each of which was large enough to carry more than 400 soldiers, so that the entire fleet was almost 2,000 men, roughly close to the strength of a Japanese army. Whether to defeat a Japanese wing or sink a Japanese warship, Lin Fei hesitated a little.

The Fourth Brigade of the Japanese Army has only two wings in total, and if I defeat one now, it will undoubtedly greatly dampen the morale of the Japanese army, and at the same time greatly relieve the pressure on the coastal defense in southern Taiwan, and the Chiyoda has already been seriously damaged, and according to the observers of the two warships, it has been hit by at least three shells by our fleet, and even if it is allowed to escape, it will be difficult for it to do anything.

Thinking of this, Lin Fei made up his mind, and ordered in a deep voice: "Let go of the Chiyoda ship and annihilate the enemy's transport fleet..."

As soon as the order was given, the Tianlong ship and the Yunlong ship immediately approached the Japanese transport fleet, and Lin Fei then ordered: "The transport ship has no weapons, pull them closer to within two thousand meters and then fight." ”

Liu Daming and Bi Fang agreed in unison, and the two battleships temporarily stopped firing their guns and pounced on the Japanese fleet like two wolves, and the Japanese fleet at this time was like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

The Japanese fleet was too late to escape, they didn't expect that the Chiyoda ship was not an opponent and withdrew from the battlefield, so the timing of the rudder was slow, and the transport ships were very wide in order to load more cargo, so the maneuverability was very poor, so the speed of steering and steering was extremely slow, and even if they turned, they couldn't escape, just like that, the Japanese fleet could only helplessly wait for the Lin Fei fleet to ravage.

The distance of two thousand meters was in the blink of an eye, Lin Fei picked up the microphone and said: "Tianlong Ship, Yunlong Ship, don't concentrate on one when you fight, scatter the fight, first damage each ship, and then sink them one by one." ”

Liu Daming's command position was very close to Lin Fei, and when he heard Lin Fei's words, he immediately laughed and said: "Old Lin, you are really ruthless, after those transport ships were injured, the speed was naturally slow, and there was no possibility of escaping at that time." ”

Lin Fei smiled and didn't say anything, the two battleships immediately opened fire on the Japanese transport ship, shells rained down on the ship, and the high-explosive bombs exploded on the ship, causing the Japanese soldiers to cry and cry for their mothers, the armor-piercing bullets pierced the hull, the transport ship entered the water and tilted, and some Japanese soldiers were even drowned directly in the cabin.

At 14:35, all five transport ships were damaged, but they did not give up hope of escaping, and desperately fled into the distance, the Sky Dragon and Cloud Dragon ships intensified their fire, and soon one transport ship sank into the sea.

The Japanese soldiers knew that staying on the boat was a dead end, so they jumped into the sea one after another, swimming and fleeing in all directions, Lin Fei saw the Japanese soldiers escaping in the water, and immediately gave the order to open fire from the machine guns.

The warships of this era are equipped with machine guns with a high rate of fire, for example, the Zhiyuan ship is equipped with a 20 mm Grimm gun, and the Chiyoda ship is equipped with a 47 mm Hatch Kais machine gun, Lin Fei also beat the Japanese Navy with a machine gun at the beginning of the crossing, at first Lin Fei did not develop this high rate of fire machine gun, the reason is the same as not developing a light machine gun.

Lin Fei captured a lot of Green fast guns in the battle against the Spaniards, so he equipped them with naval warships, these fast guns are relatively small, and the recoil is relatively light, so they are easy to install, and today finally came in handy.

Large-caliber artillery is not easy to fight people in the water, and there is a sense of powerlessness of anti-aircraft guns to fight mosquitoes, but small-caliber machine guns are very handy, and the Japanese soldiers in the water have suffered countless casualties under the blows of machine guns.

At 15:10, after thirty-five minutes of shelling, five transport ships sank to the bottom of the sea one after another, and the sea was full of Japanese soldiers, who were swimming desperately in the water, Lin Fei did not have the slightest intention of sending a small boat to rescue them, because Lin Fei thought clearly that saving these Japanese soldiers was useless, the Japanese government might not spend money to redeem them, and keeping them by themselves would only cause trouble for themselves, these people are not like the docile Spaniards, who can still leave the Spaniards as coolies, and these Japanese, It is simply impossible to be willing to be a coolie.

Therefore, Lin Fei gave his subordinates a death order, killing all the Japanese and leaving no one behind, so the artillery and machine guns were all firing at the Japanese soldiers in the water, and a string of machine shells went down to kill a string, and a shell went down to kill a piece.

Lin Fei also asked those sailors who had no task to pick up their guns and go to the side of the ship to practice marksmanship, the sailors rarely fired a shot, they took their guns to the side of the ship, aimed at the Japanese in the water and shot, because the defeat of the Japanese was decided, everyone was very relaxed, as if this was not a battlefield of life and death, but a hunting ground full of joy.

Liu Daming also wanted to let the two warships drive past the Japanese soldiers and kill those Japanese soldiers with their hulls, but Lin Fei stopped this practice, he didn't want the Japanese soldiers to hit and injure Jin Gui's propellers.

At 15:40, there were no more Japanese who could move on the sea, only a large number of floating corpses remained, and the sea water was almost stained red with blood, Lin Fei looked at the battlefield in front of him, smiled contentedly, and then gave the order to retreat.

After the two battleships left the battlefield, a battleship flying the flag of the Japanese Navy sailed nearby, and on the battleship, a Japanese rear admiral saw the floating corpse, his face was blue with anger, and his teeth were gritted loudly.
