"Kara!"

A piece of splinter shattered the glass of the conning tower, hit the corner on the other side and bounced back, knocking a staff officer's head into a rotten watermelon!

Tsuboi Hangzo's face was covered in blood from broken glass, because the body of the drama director zhì shook, but he was lucky to avoid the fragments that swept over his head, so that his neck was not cut.

Billowing smoke and dust, mixed with a large amount of various debris, were carried by the ferocious explosion and splashed in all directions of the Yoshino. Part of it smashed the shell of the conning tower into countless pits, large and small. The other part, even spilled onto the front chimney, clanged and knocked terrifyingly!

"Heavy ...... Seriously injured?! ”

Kawahara wanted to exclaim in surprise, and first carefully observed His Excellency the Major General with concern, and found that it was only a slight bruise. The blood on that face was just scary.

Looking down at the overtime below, there was a terrifying fire rolling around the deck in the hideous crack of the smoke that kept tumbling. But the most worrying thing is the 120mm gun emplacements below, which have been completely destroyed! If the flames hit, they will inevitably detonate the launchers and warheads that are piled there! When the time comes, a disemboweling explosion will kill them!

Just now, I controlled the damage of the front part of the damage, and hurriedly rushed over to clean it up, but I was shocked to find that this time the damage was even more severe!

After a series of roars, Kawahara made sure that the power system was not affected in any way, and that the four main guns were intact. But the command tower where they are located is no longer safe.

Tsuboi Hangzo covered his head, wiped off the blood stains indiscriminately, and asked viciously: "What kind of shell is it?" There is no accurate judgment! ”

Kawahara shook his head with difficulty: "It seems to be a 6-inch cannon!" But the rate of fire and armor-piercing ability, destruction are too great! Even a 2210mm gun is understandable. Our armor. I'm afraid something is going to go wrong! Your Excellency Major General. Is it a temporary circumvention? ”

"Nope! Absolutely not! Pingjing Hang's three fire stabs stared at the "Dongming". Shaking his head resolutely, "Such a dangerous guy, no matter what, he must be killed in one fell swoop!" If you can't even resist his threat, you won't be able to fight the battle that follows! Keep on the pursuit! I don't believe he can be so lucky to hit! ”

That's right, in his opinion, there was a lot of luck in the hits of these two guns.

The level of training of the Japanese Navy. Already the best in the world. Even British teachers thought they were capable of competing with the British Imperial Navy. is so elite that they can't hit the target at an ultra-long distance, how can they do it with the strange guy on the other side?

Perhaps, the short-term destiny is on their side?

People in these years believe in fate, and the superstition of the navy is higher. A few days ago, there was the unlucky "Yaeyama", which was actually 11 kilometers away and was caught in one shot. This time, it's probably the same situation, right?

However, even if there is a destiny. And how? Tsuboi Hangzo firmly believes that they are here to break the Chinese Celestial Empire. Thousands of years of destiny! Only by seizing its luck can the Great Japanese Empire truly rise and become the hero of the world!

The "Yoshino" was in full swing, the hull of the ship trembled as if it was shivering in the cold wind, the two steam engines were running wildly, and the rumbling noise shook the whole body, not to mention, and even the roar of the surrounding explosions could not be completely suppressed!

Approach! Approaching quickly! The speed is over 23 knots, reaching 24 knots, and it's still climbing!

Under strong pressure ventilation, it can reach an astonishing power of 23,000 horsepower in a short time, which is enough to make the two propellers rotate wildly and set off a boiling track behind the hull!

If this continues, it will not take a few minutes for the "Yoshino Ship" to successfully cut to the front, break up the formation, and even face the "Dongming" with three main guns!

However, it is very difficult for their ideas to be realized! I saw that under the high-speed sailing of the "Dongming", the hull of the ship came to a strange bend at a large angle, and under a large tilt, it turned naturally and smoothly to the left with an incredible radius!

As long as the ballast counterweight is enough and the center of gravity is stable enough, you can make a U-turn in the narrow river. Although he was running faster now, Yang Haiwei was savagely driving, and he simply controlled the ship to twist out a change of direction of more than 35 degrees!

In the cabin, more than 2,000 unprepared officers and men were flashed aside, and many of them hit their heads and bled out. Suddenly, the movement of crying father and mother's voice rang out!

The temper of the soldiers is called a cow, and many of them immediately want to rush out to find fault. Yang Haiwei was unmoved, and casually threw the broadcast to Jiang Zikang. The veteran ruffian grabbed him, followed suit, and roared: "Bastard king eight lambs! He has already told you to grasp it, and you are disobedient. Now you deserve to hit your head! Which one is not convinced, come up to Lao Tzu and go head-on! ”

The rest of the pipe bands followed and scolded, and immediately pressed down a few thorns.

I was looking at the "Tomei", and in the blink of an eye, I turned my butt and aimed the stern 120mm turret at the "Yoshino". After firing several shots in succession, the coordination of ranging, aiming, and shooting at high speed gradually became the same.

Yang Haiwei patiently controlled the hull to return to balance and stabilize the course. Just when the "Guangyi" on the side bravely rushed over and was about to cover himself, he resolutely pressed the electric control switch!

"Tom! Tong! Tong......! ”

The barrel of the 120mm rapid-fire gun rapidly sprayed continuous fire, and one shell after another, forming a terrible barrage of bullets, which went straight to the "Yoshino"!

Kawahara knew something was wrong when he looked at the fireworks in the distance one by one, and just shouted: "All attention, the shelling is ......!" ”

Whistling cannonballs, breaking through the air! At a high speed that they were completely unfamiliar with, they smashed against the surface of the sea and smashed around the battleship!

Referring to the counterfeit rapid-fire gun improved by the classic American MK12 naval gun, it can be reloaded wildly in a short time, and it can reach 15 rounds per minute! smashed out a bunch of brains so unrelentingly, completely grasping a precisely calculated probability range.

The precise angle between the Yoshino, which was galloping forward, and the Tomei, which was turning, ensured that the shells would land almost in a straight line that was spread forward. In this way, it is equivalent to the "Yoshino" crashing headlong into a line of 15 shells that is hundreds of meters wide!

Stabilize the trajectory of the dìng, causing the first shell to fall into the water ahead of schedule, about 100 meters away from the target ship.

However, the second shell, because of the slight rise in the muzzle, achieved an excellent angle of fire close to the waterline and smashed on the armored belt of the "Yoshino". It's a pity that this is a high-explosive bomb, which exploded on the surface of the hull, and the water splashed dozens of meters high, and by the way, it blasted out a crack in the steel plate!

The next shell was two more direct hits! One shot pierced through the top armor from the root of the command tower, almost close to the breach where it was hit for the second time, and exploded! Five of the six sailors who were working on damage management were blown away, and the other was covered in blood and fell headlong into the breach!

Another shot cut through the stern on the port side, blew up another snorkel, took a boat with it, and lit a fire by the way!

The rest of the shells, far or near, exploded in the vicinity of the "Yoshino". The continuous impact of the water waves, the shaking hull trembled, and all the Japanese soldiers turned pale!

"This! What kind of artillery is this! Damn the density of firepower, terrible lethality! ”

Tsuboi Kozo finally couldn't hold his foot, and screamed in a lost voice. The determination he had already made up his mind was shaken again!

Something is wrong, something is so wrong! What is the origin of the guy in front? Such artillery is simply no different from the firing speed of a battleship, that quantity, that accuracy, is completely abnormal!

How did he know that Yang Haiwei was testing the various performances of the ship's guns from beginning to end! From the time I got my hands to now, in fact, including him, I haven't gotten to know it yet! Otherwise, if every shot was accurately calculated, the hit rate would only be higher than it is now, even higher!

Whether it's him, Kawara Kakuichi can't stand it anymore. The shells that hit continuously caught fire on the deck, and the damage was lost, and if they rushed down like this, not only would they not be able to chase and kill the target, but if the "Jiyuan ship" approached, the 210mm gun would not be vegetarian.

The point is that the "Guangyi" has been killed. Although the wooden ship itself had little resistance, the newly installed 120mm rapid-fire gun was the first to threaten. Two rounds were fired at the Yoshino, attracting the attention of the other party.

On the other side, Fang Boqian was greatly excited! The enemy ship was hit in succession and was injured by fire, which is a good opportunity to beat the water dogs!

He stepped forward and shouted the order to approach forward, and to see that it was almost there, and let the front main gun fire again.

Not surprisingly, two shells missed again. But this hit didn't matter, but the "Yoshino" finally found a valuable target for diversion attack.

Tsuboi Kozo gritted his teeth and ordered: "Turn to attack the enemy's flagship!" Order the 'Naniwa' to rush forward and take over our pursuit of the troop carrier! Hmph, be sure to give them some color! ”

During this period of engagement, three Japanese ships in the rear were also interspersed with oblique stabs. On the "Naniwa" at the front, Heihachiro Togo witnessed the encounter of the flagship with his own eyes, and he has long been yearning for that strange freighter. When he saw the flag command, he immediately rushed straight over.

The Yoshino turned on the right side of the rudder, returned to the angle of attack, and hedged against each other, and in just two minutes, the distance was reduced to about 5 kilometers. Aiming at the "Jiyuan ship", the three main guns suddenly fired!

After firing more than 30 rounds in succession at the maximum rate of fire, a single shot suddenly hit the side of the command tower, and a small boat was shattered on the spot!

"Boom!" In the huge explosion, a large number of debris flew in all directions, crackling on the watchtower of the command tower! Fang Boqian was caught off guard, and his scalp was scratched by one of them, and for a moment, his mind was blank!

"I'm ...... Are you going to die?! ”

His ears were buzzing and he couldn't hear anything, he only saw Shen Shouchang next to him shouting loudly, how high a flame rose from the side, and several sailors fell in a pool of blood! (To be continued......)
