"I'm Lin Haichao, now I order, all ships will attack, as long as the enemy ships enter the attack range, give me a hard blow, don't worry about ammunition." Lin Haichao picked up the microphone and directly gave the order to attack.

With Lin Haichao's order, the Yulong-class and Seadragon-class speedboats are like wild horses that have escaped from the reins, galloping up on the sea, and the distance between the two fleets is not far, only seven or eight nautical miles, if the aircraft carrier is the king of the sea, then the speedboat is the wolf of the sea.

The speed of the speedboat increased to the maximum, and even the bow of the ship was slightly cocked, and the splashes on both sides of the ship kept splashing backwards, and it was the sadness of the Japanese Second Fleet to be targeted by a pack of wolves.

In order to ensure the hit rate, the speedboat's favorite thing is to get close to the large warship, use its own speed and flexibility, and give the strong but not flexible battleship a hard time.

"No. 2 ship, I'll intersperse from the left, and you're in charge of the right."

"Understood, wait until you get to me, watch me give him a ruthless one."

"Ship 5, the two of us will deal with the big ship together, if we defeat the big ship, go back and make those boys envious."

"No problem No. 6 ship, you will command me to cooperate."

In order to better cooperate, the ship numbers are arranged between the ships, just to facilitate command in battle, and now this group of wolves is dispatched, and the enemy is in trouble. The speedboat is a group of two ships, one group is dedicated to dealing with one battleship, and their strategy is to take a bite and leave, it is best to eat it, if it doesn't work, they will also inflict heavy damage on the enemy, and when they return the second time, the enemy will never be able to run away.

The speedboat fleet was approaching the Japanese fleet at high speed, and it was not long before the faint lights on the Japanese battleships could be seen, and the target appeared, and the hunt was about to begin.

"There's still a nautical mile away, we're going to launch a torpedo, we're going to kill that big guy."

"This speed is just right, torpedo launch."

As the speedboat approached, an excellent distance for a torpedo attack had been reached, and because of the cover of night, it was at this time that the observers of the Japanese battleships spotted the torpedo boats approaching at high speed at sea.

Standing on a high platform, the observer suddenly saw the speedboat intruding, although the view was very blurry due to the night, but the observer still judged from his own experience, and knew that it was supposed to be the enemy's battleship approaching.

The observer shouted loudly, "There are enemy ships approaching at high speed, at three o'clock." The shouts of the observers caused the entire fleet to raise the alarm.

"The gunner prepares, shoots in the direction of three o'clock, fires the cannon."

The gunners hurriedly adjusted the position and firing angle of the guns, and the muzzles of the guns were aimed at the direction of three o'clock, although they could not see the enemy's figure clearly, but this did not affect the shells of the fleet's guns to vent shells.

"Boom, boom, boom."

The Japanese fleet was now nervous, and the fear of the enemy hidden in the shadows was greater than that of the opponent facing it, and now it knew that there might be an enemy at three o'clock, and the Japanese fleet was fully open, venting its shells outward, and also venting its own fear.

Single-mounted 6 base 6 15.2cm40 caliber guns, single 6 base 6 12cm40 caliber guns, 6 base 6 8cm rapid-fire guns, the guns on the Japanese battleships were in full swing, and the barrels kept spitting out shells.

"Everyone, pay attention, the Japanese fleet is starting to attack, the firepower is very fierce, those little Japan are going to have a convulsion, everyone pay attention to dodge, after firing the torpedo, quickly dodge to the sides, pay attention to protect yourself." The captain of speedboat No. 1 shouted.

"No problem, the torpedo has been fired, now ready to dodge."

"Ship No. 5 was hit by a small shell on the side of the ship, but it was not a big problem, it did not affect the battle, it should be the enemy's rapid-fire gun."

"These Japanese are so crazy that they even use rapid-fire guns, and I doubt they can see us."

"This is barrage defense, just suppressing the enemy's firepower."

The captain of the No. 1 ship asked again, "Has everyone come out, and are there any major losses?" ”

"Ship 4 is fine."

"Ship 6 is fine."

All ships reported their own situation, except for some minor injuries on the No. 5 ship, the others were intact, mainly because the enemy's attack was not purposeful, blindly firing guns in one direction, compared to the vast sea, a speedboat is really not good to be blinded indiscriminately, of course, this also shows that the luck of the Huafu fleet is indeed very good.

"Now let's wait and see our results, and the results will be available immediately."

"Wait and cheer, comrades."

Before the call ended, explosions were heard in the direction of the Japanese fleet.

Unfortunately, the Chiyoda protective cruiser was one of the targets of torpedo attacks due to its location on the periphery of the fleet, and two of the four torpedoes hit the hull of the ship. In two huge roars, the more than 2,000-ton hull of the Chiyoda was directly torn apart by a huge torpedo, breaking in half from it, and sank to the bottom of the sea in a few breaths.

The Akitsuzu was not spared, being hit by a torpedo in the stern of the ship, and the boiler was blown up, causing the battleship to stop directly, lose power, and become a live target at sea.

The armored cruiser Tokiwa is considered a meritorious battleship of the Japanese Navy, and has participated in the Battle of Incheon, the Battle of Ulsan, and the Battle of the Sea of Japan. Even if it is a battleship that has been in war for a long time, it has also made meritorious contributions in the operation against Qingdao, China, but the Joban did not escape this catastrophe today, because he was taken care of by the torpedo boat.

A fire broke out at the bow of the ship, thick smoke filled the front of the hull, and the captain in the front bridge, Taniguchi Naoma Osa, held the microphone and shouted loudly, "Organize personnel to extinguish the fire immediately, and the fire must not spread to the ammunition warehouse, all the artillery crews have it, give me a hard fight in the direction of three o'clock, I don't care what method you use, you must shoot out all the ammunition." ”

At this time, a staff officer ran in and said loudly, "Your Excellency, the losses have been preliminarily counted, the bow of the battleship has been concentrated by torpedoes, and now the fire has broken out in the cabin, and the two 20.3cm front-loading guns have been blown up, and they can no longer be used, and the hull is damaged." The middle part of the hull was hit by a torpedo, causing a boiler to be blown up, and there was no possibility of emergency repairs, so it could only be returned to the military port for overhaul, and there was a large hole in the position of the third deck, which was now being repaired. ”

"Bastards, these damn Chinese people, they only know sneak attacks when they fight, and they have the ability to have a duel in a dignified manner." When Taniguchi heard this, he was so angry that he screamed and scolded the Huafu fleet that attacked it, although he still didn't know who was attacking the Japanese fleet.

At this time, the chief of staff, Shichiro Tachikawa, said, "Captain, if you sail with a boiler now, the speed will drop a lot, and we are no longer able to fight, please consider the next move, Your Excellency the captain." ”

Now is not the time to curse the streets, now is the time of life and death of the battleship Tokiwa, and Taniguchi Naoma must do his best to come up with a feasible solution, which is his responsibility as a battleship captain.

"Fight to the death and do not retreat, even if all of them are killed, the battleship will sink in front of the flagship, notify all positions, do your job well, our Joban is a heroic battleship, and we will fight until the last moment." Taniguchi Naoma firmly gave his order.

Hearing this, whether it was the chief of staff Tachikawa Shichiro or the other staff officers in the bridge, their expressions were dark, it seemed that they were going to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor today, but they really didn't want to die, but since the captain had made such a decision, they could only follow as subordinates.

After the notice went down, all the officers and men in the armored cruiser Tokiwa felt the oppression of death, which made everyone even more crazy, only by defeating the enemy can they live, they are now also fighting for their own fate, but the balance of fate is not on their side, because the fire in the bow of the ship still issued the consequences of Yan zhòng after all, the rapid explosion occurred, after the continuous explosion, a super hole appeared in the bow position, and the sea water instantly poured into it, making the battleship crooked, As the sea continued to enter, the battleship began to capsize, and at this time everyone knew that the battleship was no longer saved and could not escape the fate of sinking.

Yashiro Rokuro watched the Tsukiwa armored cruiser, the Akitsuzu protective cruiser, and the Chiyoda protective cruiser around him being attacked one after another, and the Chiyoda sank directly to the bottom of the sea, and the Tsukiwa now has signs of sinking, and the Akitsusu has stopped at sea, and it seems that it has lost the ability to fight again.

In just this one round, he lost three capital battleships, which made Hachishiro Rokuro feel very heartbroken, these battleships are the main force of the Japanese Second Fleet, the elite of the Imperial Japanese Navy, each of which cost a lot of money, and now it was easily sunk by the enemy.

"Inform all warships, pay attention to the enemy's tracks, and if you find suspicious signs, go straight to the covering artillery attack." Rokuro Yashiro roared and gave the order.

He felt that today's battle was really embarrassing, once upon a time the Japanese fleet had suffered such a heavy blow, and in just such a short hour, it lost 9 warships. If it is a frontal fight with the enemy, even if it is defeated in the end, it can be accepted, but now I can't feel the trace of the enemy, the enemy is like a ghost, he didn't attack from the shadows, and every time he eats a few warships in the fleet, thinking of this, he can't help but curse in the end.

"Bastards, bastards, the enemy really doesn't have a bit of bushido spirit, they're all a bunch of villains, shameless bastards." Yashiro Rokuro can only vent the depression in his heart in this way now, otherwise he is afraid that he will die of grievance.

"Your Excellency Commander, look at what we do next, now we only have 4 warships, and the original plan is no longer easy to implement." Chief of Staff Shokichi Ishii reminded.

"The enemy is too cunning to hide in the shadows and not come out, and now we are very dangerous, inform the fleet to advance at full speed in the direction of Qingdao, and get out of the enemy's attack as much as possible." Rokuro Yashiro chose to retreat.

Listening to Yashiro Rokuro's words, Chief of Staff Ishii Shoji was stunned, is this still the invincible Japanese Second Fleet Commander Vice Admiral Yashiro Rokuro, could it be that His Excellency the Vice Admiral is afraid. R1152
