"Boom!" The four twin 05-mm naval guns on the battleship 'Zhonghua' opened fire at the same time, and the huge recoil force almost made the 'Zhonghua' move more than a meter away on the sea surface. A shell weighing more than 300 kilograms roared towards the "Shikishima," the flagship of the Japanese fleet.

A series of explosions sounded on the surface of the sea, but the shells were basically three hundred meters away. Although it didn't hit, the powerful firepower of the 'Zhonghua-class' still made the soldiers of the Japanese fleet terrified. The Japanese fleet's 'Shikishima-class' battleships and 'Ryuchamp'-class battleships only had two twin-mounted 05-mm main guns, but the 'Ryuchamp-class' battleships had four more 20-mm secondary guns. In front of the powerful four-seat twin 05mm main guns of the 'Zhonghua-class' battleship, it was completely at a disadvantage.

The observation balloon raised by the battleship 'Zhonghua' had already sent the point of impact to the gunners officer, and in coordination with the battleship's fire control system, the main guns on the 'Zhonghua' had already begun to slowly rotate and adjust the angle of firing.

On the battleship 'Shikishima', Heihachiro Togo's face was gloomy as if he could drip water. Originally, he still had some doubts about the 'Zhonghua-class' battleships of the Chinese Navy, hoping that the 'Zhonghua-class' battleships were nothing more than useless shows. But now, the 'Zhonghua-class' battleship is completely worthy of the name of a truly powerful battleship!

"Order the ships, get ready to fire!" Heihachiro Togo ordered.

"But Commander. Now the distance is too far, it will be difficult for us to hit the warships of the China Navy! Major General Shark Island said.

"The cunning Shina will not give us a chance to shorten the distance of engagement. at this distance. The firepower and artillery accuracy of the people of China have a great advantage, and they will not let go of this advantage! Heihachiro Togo said helplessly. Although, in this way, the Japanese fleet was completely in a position of being beaten passively, and whether or not it could hit the target depended entirely on luck. But now, the Japanese fleet has no other way. The 'Longchamp-class' battleship has a maximum speed of only 5 knots. It is simply impossible to catch up with the Chinese fleet. In order to maintain the accuracy of the shot, Heihachiro Togo even ordered the battleship to reduce the speed to 2 knots.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "After Heihachiro Togo's order was given, the Japanese ships opened fire one after another. However, their landing point is generally above six or seven hundred meters. Some of the most expansive shells even flew out for thousands of meters. This made Togo Heihachiro's face very difficult. During the Sino-Japanese War four years ago, the Chinese Navy destroyed more than just the Combined Fleet. It also destroyed Japan's Etajima Naval Academy, and most of the reserve elites of the Japanese Navy were killed, which greatly affected the strength of the Japanese Navy. Although it has undergone several years of training, it is far inferior to the Japanese Navy during the First Sino-Japanese War.

Deng Shichang also opened fire on the Japanese Navy. There wasn't a bit of nervousness. But after the Japanese fleet's shelling hit the bullet point, it smiled even more disdainfully. Although, in terms of the plain zhì of the naval soldiers, the soldiers of the Chinese Navy are at most comparable to the Japanese Navy. However, the Chinese Navy was able to rely on the superiority of technology. Beyond the Japanese Navy. Deng Shichang believes that even against the British Navy. Under the same conditions, China will not fall behind. You know, the British Navy has dominated the world for hundreds of years!

At 5 o'clock, after calibration, the battleships and heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy opened fire one after another. The Japanese fleet also launched a fierce counterattack. For a time, the sound of artillery on the sea shook the sky, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air. The hit rate of naval battles was originally relatively low. More often than not, it's just a game of luck. Although columns of water were constantly blasted out on the sea, in fact, there was basically no damage on both sides. However, in terms of the output of firepower and the accuracy of the shelling, the Chinese Navy firmly has the upper hand.

The first to achieve results was not the 'Zhonghua-class' battleships, but the 'Beijing-class' heavy cruisers. The "Beijing" and "Tianjin" jointly launched a fierce attack on the Japanese Navy's armored cruiser "Iwami". Compared with the Iwami-class armored cruisers, the 'Beijing-class' heavy cruisers had a huge advantage not only in tonnage but also in armored firepower. The 'Beijing-class' heavy cruisers had a displacement of 0,500 tons, while the 'Iwami-class' armored cruisers were only 50 tons. The main guns of the 'Beijing-class' heavy cruisers are two twin 05-mm naval guns, which are equivalent to the firepower of the Japanese Navy's battleships, while the main guns of the 'Iwami-class' armored cruisers are two 20-mm naval guns, and their power and range cannot be compared with the 'Beijing-class' heavy cruisers.

At 9:02, in a salvo of the Tianjin, a 05-mm main gun shell accurately hit the stern of the armored cruiser Iwami, which was 10,000 meters away. The shells, which weighed more than 300 kilograms, tore through the stern armor of the Iwami, which was only more than 30 millimeters behind. After tearing off the armor, dozens of kilograms of explosives in the shell exploded, and the huge force immediately cut off the small half of the stern of the "Iwami". The stern of the ship was heavily damaged, causing the speed of the Iwami to drop immediately.

Take this opportunity. The 'Beijing' and 'Tianjin' launched an even more intense shelling of the Iwami. At 9:04, a 05-mm shell fired by the "Beijing" hit the port side of the "Iwami". The armor at the waterline was cut open, and a hole more than three meters long was blown out.

The damage management personnel of the 'Iwami' tried their best, but they couldn't gamble on it. By this time, the Iwami had already begun to tilt. The captain of the Iwami had to order water to be poured into the starboard side, hoping to restore the balance of the Iwami. At the same time, the ship's high-power pumping machine began to desperately pump water out, trying to prevent the sinking of the "Iwami". However, this qiē is all in vain. Twenty minutes later, the sea overflowed the deck of the Iwami, which became the first warship to sink into the sea an hour after the battle began. Of course, those destroyers from yesterday do not count. A destroyer picked up the officers and men of the Iwami, and the Chinese Navy did not obstruct their actions. The "Peking" and "Tianjin", after sinking the "Iwami", shifted the target to the other armored cruisers. The sinking of the Iwami made the ratio of heavy cruisers to armored cruisers between China and Japan eight to five, and the Japanese Navy was at an absolute disadvantage.

Compared with the battle between the cruisers, the battle between the battleships was also more intense. At half past nine o'clock in the morning, the battleship "Shenzhou" formed a straddle fire on the battleship "Hizen". This means that it is only a matter of time before the 'Shenzhou' hits the 'Hizen'. All that's missing is luck. The displacement of the 'Hizen' is only half of that of the 'Shenzhou', and it is not the opponent of the 'Shenzhou' in terms of armor or firepower.

At 9:40 a.m., the 'Zhonghua' made its first move. A 05 mm main gun shell exploded on the port side of the 'Shikishima'. However, the location of the explosion, which was still some distance from the waterline, only blew up a large hole in the port side of the 'Shikishima', blew up a 52-mm single-mounted gun and a 76-millimeter single-mounted gun, killed more than a dozen Japanese sailors, and did not cause fatal damage to the 'Shikishima'. But it was enough to freak out the Japanese Navy.

At 0:00 a.m., the 'Yan Huang' also achieved results, and a 05-mm naval gun hit the foredeck of the 'Asahi'. Not only did it blow a large hole in the foredeck, but a piece of shrench also jammed the 'Asahi''s front gun, so that the main gun had no way to turn and could only shell at a fixed angle, which was basically ineffective. This is still the luck of the 'Asahi', if the luck is poor, this shell is a little more to the left, it is likely to hit the ammunition depot under the main gun in front of the 'Asahi'. If the ammunition is detonated, the Asahi will have only one way to die.

The situation on the battlefield became more and more unfavorable for the Japanese fleet. However, Heihachiro Togo didn't have any way. He had ordered the turn several times, but to no avail. When he hoped to shorten the distance between the two sides, the Chinese fleet also turned and continued to expand the distance. And when he wanted to get rid of the Chinese fleet, the Chinese fleet posted it again. The distance of the battle has always been controlled at about 10,000 meters. At this distance, although the hit rate of the Chinese Navy is not high, it is already much better compared to the Japanese fleet.

The battle had been going on for almost two hours, and the Japanese fleet had not hit the Chinese Navy once, and the most recent one had been fifty meters away. This made Togo Heihachiro's heart already sink to the bottom.

At half past 0:00 in the morning, the battleship "Zhonghua" fired the 42nd salvo of this naval battle. This salvo achieved great results. Of the shells, three hit the target. Among them, a shell exploded in the apostle of the 'Shikishima', and its fingernails blew off the chimney of the 'Shikishima', and the poisonous smoke immediately spread in the power compartment, killing all the more than 10 Japanese naval soldiers inside. At the same time, the speed of the Shikishima also dropped sharply from 2 knots. The second shell hit the front gun of the Shikishima, whose armor was only 52 mm, and it could not withstand the attack of the 05 mm armor-piercing shell. The two main guns were immediately overturned. The Japanese naval soldiers on the foredeck suffered even more heavy losses. The third shell, which exploded in the bow of the ship, wiped out half of the bow, but fortunately it was above the waterline. Even so, this round of salvo fire from the battleship 'Zhonghua' has already caused the 'Shikishima' to suffer heavy losses!
