Chapter 125 Dingyuan's first merit

The navy is a brave class, and everyone must have the consciousness of sinking into the sea with the warship from the moment they set out on the battle.

The whole ship of the "Jiyuan Ship", including the mercenaries and foreign devils, was not frightened by the Japanese artillery fire. Even if one after another people were blown to pieces and flesh and blood flew everywhere, they still insisted on their posts.

This bravery is much better than the army that scatters sheep when it hears the sound of artillery. The soldiers of Beiyang have always been proud of their military appearance.

But today, right now, at this moment, they have witnessed an extremely ugly scene!

Fang Boqian, this is valued by Admiral Ding Ruchang and appreciated by Li Hongzhang, and his name can even be passed on to the court! It's so capricious, rat heads at both ends!

If Shen Shouchang's first mate is about the same identity, he can tolerate it after refutation. The officers and soldiers of the next level resisted so much, Fang Boqian's face couldn't hold back.

He furrowed his eyebrows and scolded: "What do you know!" When you fight, you have to be flexible! How could the battleship that Lord Zhongtang had spent his heart and soul to buy be destroyed and sacrificed at will? This officer is well maintained in preparation for long-term combat. Do you understand this? ”

Huang Zulian shook her head resolutely: "I don't understand the mark!" I only know that if we don't fight hard, the troop carrier behind us will suffer! The pipe belt lord ordered like this, and we can't obey it! Bid down and ask your Excellency to stick to your position with us and fight hard! ”

His words resonated with a large number of officers and sailors around him, and dozens of blazing eyes gathered on Fang Boqian's body, pricking him so that his hairs stood up.

The wrath of the crowd is unbearable. The square pipe belt elongated the face. Wave of his sleeves: "Hmph! This official doesn't care about you! ”

He turned around and ran back into the cabin.

Huang Zulian and the others, you look at me. Several second-pair pipe wheels are the same. With a wave of his fist: "We'll do it ourselves!" It's better to die here than to go back and be scolded as a shrunken turtle and a waste! ”

Ke Jianzhang, the second officer of the gun, had a wound on his face, blurred vision in one eye, and his face was still full of fierceness, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Okay! Please also operate the boat steadily, a certain family must give that man a hard blow! It's on! ”

"It's on!"

With a chorus of cheers, dozens of people poured into their posts. The "Jiyuan Ship" turned back brazenly. In the face of the artillery fire of "Qiujinzhou", he rushed straight forward without retreating!

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Two shells hit one after the other, and one shot a hole in the rear deck, causing a fire; Another shot opened a hole in the starboard side, blasting a hideous gap.

But that's the case, the battleship still attacked bravely, and the distance was about 3,500 meters, Ke Jianzhang roared: "Fire!" ”

"Boom!"

Two 210mm Krupp guns spewed tongues of fire in unison, and two armor-piercing shells shot straight out, one of which hit the side side gun of the "Akitsu Island" in an oblique stab!

This blow. Punch the 150mm secondary gun through and scrap it entirely. It continued to penetrate inwards into the chamber. Dig a transparent hole under the bridge! But unfortunately, the shell did not explode, and only crushed a few soldiers along the way, and the ship's body trembled violently.

However, this is enough to scare the people up and down the ship almost into peeing! The captain of the ship, Hikonoki Uemura, hurriedly ordered to speed up the dodge, not daring to fight against the crazy enemy again.

Its power system is intact, and once it accelerates away, no one in the Beiyang Naval Division fleet can catch up.

The "Jiyuan Ship" was hit by too many bullets, and finally due to the spread of the fire, the whole ship had to go in and out to rescue the fire. In particular, the power system was greatly affected, let alone pursuit, and it was difficult to maintain navigation.

Yang Haiwei looked at the audience and immediately ordered someone to play the flag and let him move closer to his side. At the same time, the "Dongming" was manipulated to take the initiative to move forward, and the two sides converged and used a large number of water dragons on the ship to help extinguish the fire.

There is a special 750kw generator supply, and the high-pressure faucet on the ship sprays out the water column is powerful, and the "Jiyuan ship" is poured inside and out in three or two clicks. I couldn't get out of the fire, and it didn't take long for me to completely control it.

Looking at the battlefield again, the situation has changed dramatically!

The Japanese ship "Gao Chiho", which was dragged by the two ships "Guangyi" and "Chaoyong", did not expect that the two small boats in front of him, which were no more than 1,000 tons, were brave and ferocious! The two ships, one in front of the other, each fired their guns bravely, and even after receiving a blow, they did not retreat, and suppressed them alive on the narrow sea for more than fifteen minutes!

"Gao Qiansui" was forced to maneuver back and forth, and in the delayed effort, the "Dingyuan" finally pressed the majestic body like a mountain hard!

Liu Buyun's face was twisted, and his eyes were shining brightly at the Japanese ship, and he insisted on being about five thousand meters! Let the Japanese ships shoot shells here with their lives, and the whole ship was hit four or five times, and they made every effort to let the main guns aim and aim again!

Finally, the Japanese ship was forced out of shape by the "Laiyuan" on the other side, and the hull of the ship was displayed horizontally in front of him, and he roared angrily: "Fight!" ”

"Boom! Boom! ”

The front secondary gun, the 305mm main gun on one side, fired one after another!

Three shells were fired one after the other, and 150mm shells swept over the deck of the enemy ship, breaking several cables. But a bombshell successfully hit the swollen part of "Takachiho"!

This shot is not an armor-piercing bullet, it is a high-explosive grenade that Yang Hao got from there!

With the kinetic energy of the Krupp heavy artillery, at such a distance, the pitiful protection of the Japanese ships is meaningless! The shell was like a bamboo, penetrating all the way to the middle compartment of the chimney, and fell straight into the power compartment, and exploded with a bang!

Another shell exploded in the water close to the waterline! The astonishing destructive power tore a hole more than two meters long in its hull, and a large number of fragments were cut into it, stirring up a hideous hole.

"Gao Chiho", who was maneuvering at a large angle, suddenly "boomed" and trembled violently, and a dazzling fire rose from the swollen part to the sky! Most of the boiler room, most of the hull, was torn indiscriminately in all directions by a terrible force, and the keel of the hull was deformed on the spot!

And that's not even the scariest of all!

With a warhead weighing 329 kg, the power of the final impact was almost devastating. The explosion of the guide zhì pierced the bottom of the ship downward, shattered the armor upward, and destroyed the cabins on the left and right. So much so, from a distance, that battleship seemed to be stopped by someone and given a knife!

"Takachiho" slammed forward, and then billowing smoke and flames erupted in all directions, and the propeller quickly slowed down and eventually stopped. On the deck, there was a scream of crying father and mother!

Liu Buyun was overjoyed, patted his thigh and laughed: "Good fight!" Good cannonballs, powerful enough! Keep firing and sink that guy for Lao Tzu! ”

Inside a few turrets, there was a loud shout!

A minute later, the bow guns opened fire again. This time, they finally aimed at their dead dog-like opponents, accurately smashing the armor-piercing bullet through the front of its port side until it came to a halt in the middle.

The bow of the "Dingyuan Ship" maneuvered slightly to the other side, and the other turret exploded! Two shells were discharged, one of which hit the same target again. Penetrating from the deck, grazing the root of the command tower and punching into the turret on the other side, there is a big disembowelment!

This time it was even more ruthless, the explosion of the grenade and the explosion of the ammunition rack gathered into a terrible force that destroyed it!

On the dim sea, a flash of light suddenly lit up the sky, and a brilliant firework writhed angrily! The front half of the hull of the "Takachiho" slammed to the side, and the steel fragments and firelight that erupted from the oblique thorn almost knocked the command tower into a sieve!

Immediately after, a tremendous torsion tore it down, and the keel damaged by the first grenade let out a tooth-aching moan! The swiftly flooded stern compartment continued to fall, breaking the hull into two from the middle!

"Sunk! Ha ha! ”

Liu Buchan rubbed his palms, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy.

This is a war feat, so there is no falsehood, and it is an iron-like war feat! This is the first time since the construction of his ship that he has exerted his own strength, and the first time that he has shown his infinite power to the world!

Yang Haiwei saw it from a distance, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "At least in this time and space, there will be no regrets in Dingyuan!" As an ironclad giant, she deserves such feats and deserves to be praised by the world. ”

The sinking of "Takachiho" brought the entire short and fierce battle to an abrupt end. On the dark sea, the smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air. The sea breeze is blowing, and the "Naniwa", which is still crackling and burning, is like a thick torch, lighting up the night sky this summer.

The other two Japanese ships had already fled far away, and they couldn't catch up if they wanted to.

Although Liu Buyun is unwilling, he also knows how to accept it when he sees it. He ordered "Chaoyong" to stay and clean up the battlefield, rescue the Japanese troops who had fallen into the water, and let the injured "Guangyi" and "Jiyuan" return to Lushun for repairs. He took two large ships with him to protect the troop transports and continued to sail towards the waters off Toshima.

The fleet was regrouped, and the majestic "Dingyuan" ran majestically on the side, and the "Dongming" set off was extraordinarily slender -- the two were about the same length.

Liu Buyun took a deep look at the top of the brightly lit bridge on the other side, and endless doubts surged in his heart. What kind of secret is hidden in this freighter, which nominally belongs to Yang Hao's kid? In this naval battle, if it weren't for the unexpected blows of this ship again and again, whether or not the Japanese ship on his side could fight was still between the two.

In particular, it sank the "Naniwa", a strong hand among the Japanese ships, and how much technology is in it, which is worth pondering!

"You must find an opportunity to dig out that kid's secret. Hmph, maybe, the future future of the Beiyang Naval Division will change because of this kid! ”

Liu Buyun pressed his heart, shook his spirits, and was vigilant on all sides. The fleet was at full throttle, heading into the distance.

Forty kilometers south of the Yellow Sea, Yang Hao stood boredly at the front of the deck, and a few kilometers in front of him, a large piece of broken hull had not yet completely dispersed. It was the third transport ship he sank, and the last that the Japanese were able to release.

After receiving a notice from his father, the end of the naval battle meant that his mission could come to an end. But I can't go back yet. He returned to the command room and told Deputy Captain Jiao Hai: "Let's go south to find out the movements of the main force of the Japanese army." I hope they can be honest and don't give us a chance to go crazy. (To be continued......)
