The torpedo pulled out five white lines like an arrow off the string and left the Suidong ship, Cheng Fan went one after another, the Asahi obviously appeared the speeding torpedo at the first time, suddenly turned around, and the bow gradually pointed to the Suidong, but the torpedo did not give it a chance to completely turn vertically to face the Suidong ship, the first torpedo grazed the port side of the Asahi and did not explode, and then the second and third also failed one after another,

Wu Xiaoliang held a telescope in the command room and let out a voice of pity, while Petrov said:

"Your Excellency General, don't worry, you will definitely be killed."

He had already estimated that one of the last two torpedoes would hit,

Sure enough, the fourth fish slammed into the waterline armor belt of the Asahi at an angle of 6o degrees, and the sailors on the Asahi ship even heard the sound of metal impact clearly, and some people closed their eyes in despair, and were hit by a torpedo of such a large caliber, the warship must have more than a brother, and their chances of survival were even smaller, but surprisingly, the explosion did not come,

On the Suidong ship, Wu Xiaoliang scolded his mother: "Is there a mistake, the torpedoes have hit the target, can they still bounce off, are the things of Little Japan so unreliable." "It turned out that after Yulai hit the hull of the Asahi ship, it miraculously bounced away.

Petrov also lamented that this was common in naval warfare, and there were roughly two reasons for the failure of the torpedo, one was that the impact angle was too small, and the contact between the fuse and the hull was not sufficient, and the other was that the impact fuse failed, and the guide torpedo failed.

After the fourth torpedo also broke away from the target, the good luck of the Asahi came to an end, the fifth torpedo came one after another, and it was hitting its bow waterline, and the violent explosion lifted the bow of the Asahi off the sea, and then fell back fiercely, smashing a large wave of water, the crack in the bow was torpedoed by the terrible and terrifying, and the sea water rushed madly in.

There was a burst of cheers in the command room of the Suidong ship, Petrov decisively ordered the two turrets on the port side that had been prepared before to open fire immediately, and four shells shot out, after the good luck of the Asahi came to an end, bad luck followed one after another, two of the four shells actually hit and exploded, one of them hit the waterline armor, blowing a big hole in the starboard side, and the other fell in the engine room, and the Asahi ship instantly lost power and became a live target floating on the sea,

Good luck struck, Petrov immediately abandoned the idea of firing a salvo of the Setzu, ordered the No. 1 turret in the bow to aim at the Asahi at the same time, and before the reinforcements of the Japanese ships entered the combat position, he decided to kill the Asahi first,

Six guns fired in a salvo, one of which hit the only 3o5 mm main gun turret in its bow, the warhead tore through less than 15o mm of armor on the top of the turret, and then tore open a layer of splints in the gun chamber, smashing into the ammunition chamber......

A few seconds later, Wu Xiaoliang saw through the telescope that the front main turret of the Asahi suddenly separated from the hull of the ship, flew into the sky, turned a few times and then smashed heavily into the sea, sinking rapidly, and the base of the turret was bursting with flames and billowing black smoke, Petrov could no longer hide his excitement, shouted in Russian, and then turned around and gave Wu Xiaoliang a bear hug beside him,

Although Wu Xiaoliang had been in contact with Petrov for a long time and was hugged by him many times, he still couldn't accept this form of celebration, and after pushing him away with great effort, he reorganized his military hat and re-examined this bearded duke, who was so bad in the defense of Vladivostok that Wu Xiaoliang thought that Tsarist Russia was full of such incompetent people in important positions, how could the Romanov dynasty not die, but this bearded man seemed to have changed since he boarded the warship, calm, calm, and brave...... The advantages and supreme possession of almost all good commanders are reflected in him,

The front main turret of the Asahi was lifted into the sky, and it lost power, and it was no longer a threat to the Suidong ship, but the other two Japanese battleships with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons began to adjust their firing formations, and the new battleship that joined the attack queue was another Japanese ship that had high hopes when it was built, but immediately after it was built, it lagged behind, the Satsuma, but he and the Asahi also only had two 3o5 mm main guns, and the rest of the secondary guns with a caliber of less than 2oo mm were almost impossible to threaten the Suidong,

Petrov asked into the microphone: "When will the sixth turret be repaired?" ”

There was silence in the microphone for a while, and then the sailor's other Chinese came out: "Report to the general, the turret hinges are damaged, and the power cannot be restored in a short time." ”

Hearing this answer, Petrov's heart sank, it seemed that he could only use the existing six 3o5 mm guns to deal with the Japanese army's 1o 3o5 mm guns, which was nearly half less than the opponent's main artillery, and the ammunition was already stretched, and the situation facing the Suidong ship was indeed not optimistic.

The Satsuma, which had recently joined the battle, took the lead in firing, and the twin 3o5 mm guns roared and projected the shells, and the first salvo missed without any suspense, falling a hundred meters away from the Suidong ship, and the shock wave of the explosion shook two water columns more than ten meters high, and at the same time, the Settsu, which gradually resumed its command, also aimed eight main guns at the Suidong ship again, and the strong recoil after a salvo made the entire ship sway from side to side on the sea surface,

A shell unfortunately fell on the aft deck, and easily penetrated the 78 mm thick deck armor, a violent explosion occurred in the first cabin, at the same time, the explosion caused a raging fire in the stern, the battle damage team rushed into the fire to put out the fire, the high-pressure water column repeatedly sprayed to the ignition point, the explosion had a great impact on the attitude of the Suidong ship, and the shooting elements that the turret had just adjusted immediately failed.

So the Japanese ship once again fired at the Suidong ship, the Satsuma and the Settsu coordinated a salvo, the Suidong ship was shot again, the mast at the stern of the ship was hit, and it collapsed with a bang, the chimney near the mast was affected by the explosion, and it had also been deformed, Yan zhòng affected the smoke exhaust of the warship, which greatly reduced the power, and another shell crossed the battleship and hit the port side deck, several secondary guns were blown away, and the deck armor after 76 mm was torn again, due to the detonation of the secondary gun shells, the ship's amidships also caught fire, The battle-damaged team began to be overstretched, and the officers immediately organized sailors to put out the fire, and after being shot twice, the Suidong ship became chaotic.

Petrov heard the reports of battle damage everywhere, and a big stone fell to the ground in his heart, although he was shot in many places, and the fire was very strong, but it was all a location other than some key parts such as engine rooms, ammunition depots, etc., as long as it was handled properly, the combat effectiveness of the Suidong ship would not be reduced too much, and the six 3o5 mm main guns were ready to tear the armor of the Japanese ship at any time,

"Turret No. 1 is ready, target the Setzu."

"Turret No. 2 is ready, target the Settsu."

……

The long-awaited debriefing finally sounded, and Petrov ordered in a deep voice: "Fire." ”

Dozens of seconds later, six water columns more than ten meters high exploded around the Settsu, and none of them hit.
