With a series of thunderbolt-like roars, another round of shells of the naval fleet of the Naval Academy fell in the queue of the Japanese Combined Fleet, and next to the surviving Japanese ships, huge water walls were set off one after another, and the waves fell from the sky and hit the hull of the Japanese ship heavily, and even a few shells hit the Japanese ship, making an explosion sound, but unfortunately not seriously injured any Japanese ship.

And the Bayonet submarine and the Sharp Knife, when the commander of the Combined Fleet exclaimed that it could not be the old ironclad ships Matsukaze and Feather Wind, which could not be attacked by submarines, the two submarines fired a 533 mm battery-powered torpedo at the target they had re-founded!

Immediately, two more old ironclad ships with a displacement of 9,700 tons, the Shimakaze and the Shiokaze, were severely damaged! Although the 2nd ship did not sink, the speed of the ship became like a snail!

This time, many Japanese naval soldiers on several Japanese ships next to them saw a fast fish wave hit the Shimakaze, and the Shimakaze exploded! At this time, the commander of the Combined Fleet, Ito Yuxiang, determined that under the surface of the sea, there was a submarine of the Beiyang Naval Division!

Immediately Ito Yuxiang ordered loudly: "So the small-caliber rapid-fire guns on the warships of the Combined Fleet shoot at the surrounding sea surface from 100 to 300 meters!" Let the sailors go up to the deck to observe the surrounding sea surface and find out the submarines of the Beiyang Naval Division! ”

Ito also ordered small-caliber rapid-fire guns to shoot at the sea surface from 100 to 300 meters based on the fact that the farthest attack distance of the current submarine is about 300 meters!

At the same time, Ito Yuxiang continued: "Order the Shimakaze and Shiokaze to withdraw from the battle!" ”

However, although the Shimakaze and Shiokaze, which sail like snails, received orders to withdraw from the battle, it was not so easy to leave the battlefield!

Jiang Hui, the commander of the Second Fleet of the Naval Academy, saw that the speed of the two old ironclad ships Shimakaze and Chaofeng had slowed down a lot after being attacked by submarines, and immediately ordered the five large fast armored cruisers of the Second Fleet to concentrate their artillery fire on the Shimakaze and Tidewind.

Both the Shimakaze and the Shiokaze were hit by the 260-mm main guns of 5 large fast armored cruisers in a short period of time. The Shimakaze couldn't hold on at first, and the fire caused by the shell hitting the hull burned to an ammunition compartment inside the hull, causing the explosion of shells in the ammunition compartment, blowing up half of the hull of the Shimakaze, and in less than 5 minutes, the Shimakaze sank to the bottom of the sea with more than 400 Japanese naval officers and men, becoming the fifth warship sunk by the Combined Fleet.

Immediately afterwards, the Shiokaze was hit by a torpedo under the waterline on the left side, causing the hull to enter the water strictly, even the commander of the Shiokaze ordered to inject water into the other side did not work, and the Shiokaze leaned more and more, and the last one rolled on its side and sank into the sea, becoming the sixth warship sunk by the Combined Fleet.

When the fleets of the two sides had entered a distance of 4,000 meters, the 9th salvo fired by the main guns of the ironclad battleship formation of the First Fleet of the Naval Academy finally achieved gratifying results.

The Flying Fox's two consecutive 343-mm main gun shells hit the old ironclad ship Yukikaze with a displacement of 6,100 tons, causing the explosion of the Yukikaze's boiler, causing the Yukikaze to burst into flames, and the smoke from the fire rose dozens of meters high, and after a while, the Yukikaze sank to the bottom of the sea in the sound of the explosion in the ammunition compartment, becoming the seventh warship sunk by the combined fleet.

The Japanese ironclad battleship Taiho was also hit by 1 450-mm shell and 2 432-mm shells, which not only damaged 2 406-mm main guns, but also caused a fire, so it had to retreat to the back of the battlefield first, preparing to extinguish the fire first!

The Japanese ironclad battleship Shui Feng was also hit by a 343 mm main gun shell from the Flying Leopard, causing a large fire, but fortunately the fire was quickly extinguished by the Japanese naval soldiers on the Shui Feng.

The ironclad battleship Flying Eagle of the First Fleet of the Naval Academy was also hit by a 412-mm shell from the Japanese flagship Fengxiang, damaging two 120-mm secondary guns, but it did not affect its combat effectiveness.

At this time, the commander of the Combined Fleet, Ito Yushi, felt that if this continued, the Combined Fleet would definitely suffer a crushing defeat today, and in the long-range artillery battle, the Combined Fleet was completely weak, and it was necessary to find a way to entangle with the enemy's warships in order to achieve victory! He immediately ordered the 1st and 2nd guerrillas on the right flank to charge the naval fleet of the Naval Academy at full speed and disrupt the formation of the enemy's fleet!

After receiving the order, the seven cruisers of the 1st and 2nd guerrillas began to accelerate towards the naval fleet of the Naval Academy.

Jiang Hui, the commander of the Second Fleet of the Naval Academy, saw the First Guerrilla Brigade and the Second Guerrilla Brigade rushing towards him, intending to disrupt the battle line formation of the naval fleet of the Naval Academy, and immediately dispatched the medium-sized fast armored cruiser Anhai and the four fast-defending cruisers "Sun, Moon and Xingchen" to intercept the seven Japanese ships.

And the five large armored cruisers of the Second Fleet, which continued to line up the battle line, followed the six ironclad battleships of the First Fleet, and continued to fire at the three battleships of the Combined Fleet.

When the main forces of the two fleets entered a distance of 3,500 meters, the last two old ironclad ships with a displacement of 9,700 tons on the battle line of the Japanese combined fleet, the Bofeng and the Haifeng, were torpedoed by two submarines of the Navy of the Naval Academy, and the Bohai was directly sunk, although the Haifeng did not sink immediately, but the speed dropped a lot, and soon it was hit by several large-caliber shells and slowly sank into the sea.

The Wave Breeze and the Sea Breeze became the 8th and 9th warships sunk by the Combined Fleet.

So far, the six old Camparus-class ironclad ships that Japan purchased from Britain have all sunk.

The first sunken warship also appeared in the Navy at this time, the old ironclad ship with a displacement of 4,200 tons, the Yunhai was hit by the 254 mm main gun on the old armored cruiser Mikuma among the Japanese ships, this shell penetrated the armor of the Yunhai and exploded inside the ship, detonating one of the ammunition compartments of the Yunhai, resulting in a martyrdom.

The power of the martyrdom exploded the Yunhai almost in two, and with most of the sailors and sailors on the ship, the Yunhai sank into the sea, and there were very few people who could escape.

When Yu Fu, the commander of the Lushun garrison fleet, saw the sinking of the Yunhai, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and shouted in a choked voice: "Fight!" Give the old man a hard beating! Avenge the sea of clouds! ”

The old ironclad ship Dinghai of the Lushun garrison fleet extinguished the fire at this time, returned to the battlefield, and rejoined the battle.

The Japanese ironclad battleship Taiho is retreating to the back of the battlefield, preparing to extinguish the fire first, the giant ship on fire was immediately targeted by 2 submarines, the captains of the 2 submarines saw the injured giant ship in front of them, and coincidentally chose 2 torpedoes to attack at the same time, and the 4 torpedoes sent from the 2 submarines all went straight to the Taiho, all of which hit the armor below the waterline on the left side of the Dafeng, and opened 4 large holes of two or three meters in the hull of the Dafeng, so that the turbulent sea water continued to pour into the Dafeng. Little by little, the Dafeng began to lean to the left.

Although the Japanese captain of the Taiho ordered to inject water on the other side of the Taiho in order to maintain the balance of the Daiho, the speed of the sea water pouring in on the left side of the Daiho was too fast, and the Daiho still leaned to the left a little bit, and finally turned over violently, and the Daiho rolled over on its side on the water, and sank into the sea after a while, becoming the 10th warship sunk by the Combined Fleet.

With the sinking of the Taiho, the officers and men of the entire Combined Fleet have been terrified, including the commander of the Combined Fleet, Ito Yuxiang, who has already germinated the idea of retreating in his heart.

Seeing the sinking of the Taiho, in the bridge of the Japanese ironclad battleship Zuizuru, the captain of the Zuizuru, Togo Heihachiro, his brows were already wrinkled together. Togo Heihachiro was originally the captain of the Naniwa, because the Naniwa was the only warship in the Yellow Sea War, Togo Heihachiro was promoted to rear admiral of the Japanese Navy after the expansion of the Combined Fleet, became the captain of the ironclad battleship Zuizuru, and concurrently served as the deputy commander of the Combined Fleet.

Togo Heihachiro said to the first mate of the Ruihe beside him: "Lin Daxin of the Beiyang Naval Division, I don't know where to get a few elusive submarines, and I dare to guarantee that the torpedoes fired by this submarine must be a new type of torpedo, and the range must be very long, even more than the old torpedo with explosives!" Otherwise, it wouldn't have produced such power! Even the ironclad battleship, which had a rough skin and thick displacement of more than 10,000 tons, could not resist it, and after being hit by a few torpedoes, it sank into the sea! ”

The first mate of the Zuihe nodded with a calm face and said, "The subordinates finally know how the Italian fleet was completely wiped out!" ”

Heihachiro Togo and the first mate looked at the place where the Taiho sank, and both of them had a look of horror in their eyes.
