In the Ussuri Bay outside the port of Vladivostok, when the main warships of the First Fleet and the Second Fleet of the Northeast Navy were bombed by airships, they seized the T-shaped position at a distance of about 8,000 meters from the combined Franco-Russian fleet, and fired the first round of main gun salvos at the main warships of the French Expeditionary Fleet and the Russian Second Pacific Fleet, which were lining up the battle line, and sank four all-steel battleships, one large fast armored cruiser, and one ironclad battleship of the navies of the two countries.

In addition to the 6 large warships sunk, the French Navy's Cecilia-class all-steel battleship Beatrice was hit by a 305 mm shell, destroying a twin 40 times caliber 305 mm main gun turret, which reduced the firepower of the Beatrice's main gun by half, and a nearby twin 40 times caliber 152 mm secondary gun turret was also affected, blowing up a large piece of 254 mm thick turret armor, smashing the two barrels of this secondary gun.

Another all-steel battleship of the same class, the Bernice, was hit by a 305-mm shell that pierced the waterline armor, and exploded inside the ship, damaging the pipes of several steam engines, causing a fire, and although the damage control personnel of the Bernice controlled the fire, its speed had dropped from 18 knots to less than 15 knots.

The French Navy's ironclad battleship Martel was destroyed by a 305-mm shell that destroyed a twin 35-caliber 340-mm main gun turret, leaving the Martel with a loss of half of its main gun firepower.

Which one is stronger than Lin Daxin's mobile phone to read novels? In the flagship of the Shenyang, the first round of main gun salvos was seen through the telescope, and it sank six warships, including four all-steel battleships, and seriously injured several big guys. Immediately happily put down the binoculars, and the smile on his face was already blooming. Excitedly, he waved his fist and said to Sun Xitao, the commander of the First Fleet beside him, while coughing: "Ahem." Today we are lucky, the lucky stars are shining! Ahem, while the French and Russian warships are turning, seize the opportunity to continue to beat them hard! ”

Then Lin Daxin picked up a glass of water and drank a few sips before he felt his throat feel more comfortable.

It can't be blamed that Lin Daxin is so happy, with the current artillery technology, even if Lin Daxin buys the artillery scope from modern time and space, it can improve the hit rate of the Northeast Navy. At a distance of 8,000 meters, the luck component that can hit the target also accounts for more than half, not to mention sinking the opponent's warship, which is simply a burst of luck. Being able to sink 4 all-steel battleships, 1 large fast armored cruiser and 1 ironclad battleship at once can only be described as a lucky star.

The remnants of the main French and Russian warships have begun to turn and want to face the Northeast Navy with their side sides, so after the first round of main gun salvos of the Northeast Navy, they did not return fire, but were turning, preparing to turn the warship 90 degrees.

Sun Xitao, who had a smile on his face, nodded and said, "Handsome." Before the enemy ship turns around, we can only have one more salvo of the main guns, but today we are really lucky, maybe there will be a surprise in the next salvo. ”

Compared with Lin Daxin's excited jumping and dancing. The two commanders of the French fleet and the Russian fleet were in mourning, and the two fleets had just been greatly damaged by the bombing of airships, and now they were even worse by the Northeast Navy at a distance of 8,000 meters. Sinking and damaging a number of warships, and even sinking several all-steel battleships. The commanders of the navies of the two countries can only order their own capital warships to speed up the turn. Form a battle line against the enemy.

However, before the main warships of the naval fleets of the two countries could complete the turn, they were shelled by the second round of salvo fire from the main guns of the Northeast Navy. Although there is no super luck like the first round of main gun salvo Fuxing Gaozhao, plus the main warships of the two countries have basically completed the turn, the speed has been added, and the hit is no longer so easy to fire at the first round of main gun salvo, but it also brought Lin Daxin a lot of surprises.

The French Navy's Charlemart-class all-steel battleship Hurda, which was lucky enough to dodge 2 800-kilogram bombs in the airship bombing, ran out of good use, and it seemed that luck was used to dodge the airship bombardment, and it was hit by 2 305-mm shells of the Harbin all-steel battleship, 1 shell penetrated the waterline, the old armor exploded in the power compartment, detonated 8 boilers, and blew up the bottom third of the hull of the Huba, and the other shell also blew a large hole of more than 5 meters in the underwater armor of the HurdaIn a short time, most of the hull of the Hurda had sunk into the sea, not far from disappearing into the sea. Less than half of the 600 French naval officers and sailors on board the Hulda escaped and were adrift on the sea.

Although the second salvo of the main guns of the Northeast Navy sank only one all-steel battleship, it damaged several main warships of the combined Franco-Russian fleet.

The French Navy's Charlemagne-class all-steel battleship Penelope was blasted by a 305 mm shell in the underwater armor with a large hole of more than 5 meters, and finally the French Navy officers and sailors of the Penelope did not sink the warship, but the speed of the Penelope was also reduced from 18 knots to 13 knots.

The French Navy's Joan of Arc-class large fast armored cruiser Kelly was hit by a 210-mm shell, causing a skyrocketing fire, rupturing several steam engine pipes, and affecting its speed, which dropped from 21.8 to 17 knots.

The Russian Navy's Borodino-class all-steel battleship Bisk was destroyed by a 305-mm main gun shell from the ironclad battleship Aquila, which destroyed a twin 40-caliber 305-mm main gun turret, reducing the firepower of the Bisk's main gun by half.

Soon after withstanding the second round of main gun salvo fire from the main warships of the Northeast Navy, the remaining main warships of the French Expeditionary Fleet and the Russian Second Pacific Fleet finally completed a 90-degree turn and faced the main warships of the Northeast Naval Battleline with sidepower firepower.

At this time, although the fleets of the two sides had become parallel voyages, the main warships of the Northeast Navy were lined up in a battle line, while the main warships of the Franco-Russian combined fleet were not lined up in a neat battle line.

The commander of the expeditionary fleet of the French Navy, François, seeing that the main warships of the fleet had completed the turn, breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered: "So the main guns of the battleships and armored cruisers fired at the battle line of the enemy ships!" Each main warship takes the flagship as the axis and forms a battle line. ”

At this time, the main warships of the French Navy's expeditionary fleet were only 12 all-steel battleships, 6 large fast armored cruisers and 6 ironclad battleships, and many of them were seriously damaged.

At the same time, the commander of the Russian Navy's Pacific Second Fleet, Rozhdestvinsky, gave a similar order, and the main warships of the combined Franco-Russian fleet began to fire the first salvo of main guns at the Northeast Navy.

At this time, the main warships of the Russian Navy's Second Pacific Fleet were only 5 all-steel battleships, 3 large fast armored cruisers and 3 ironclad battleships, and many of them were also seriously damaged.

The shells fired from the first salvo of the main guns of the main warships of the two joint fleets fell around the main warships of the Northeast Navy, and then the shells of the third salvo of the main guns of the Northeast Navy battle line also fell on the heads of the two joint fleets.

In this round of main artillery salvos, neither side sank or severely damaged the opponent's main warship.

Soon after, the second round of main gun salvo of the joint fleet of the two countries and the fourth round of main gun salvo of the Northeast Navy were both successful.

In this round of main gun salvo, the ironclad battleship Flying Tiger of the Second Fleet of the Northeast Navy was hit by a 305-mm main gun shell from the Russian Navy's Borodino-class all-steel battleship Berkakit, which blew open a large hole of about 5 meters, and the turbulent sea water poured into the Flying Tiger's ship. The captain of the Flying Tiger immediately ordered the inlet cabin to be closed, so with the efforts of the damage management personnel, the danger was finally controlled, and the seawater was not allowed to pour into the ship's body again, and the closure was timely, only 3 or 4 hundred tons of seawater entered the Flying Tiger's hull, so that the Flying Tiger's tilt angle was not large, and there was no need to inject seawater into the other side to maintain balance, and the speed of the Flying Tiger was not greatly affected.

The all-steel battleship Zhaojun of the First Fleet of the Northeast Navy was destroyed by a 305-mm main gun shell from the French Navy's Cecilia-class all-steel battleship Audrey, and the Zhaojun was set on fire.

The Second Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy lost another capital warship in this round of main gun salvo, and the Nicholas I ironclad battleship with a displacement of 9,700 tons was hit by a 305-mm main gun shell from the all-steel battleship Zhen Mi hit the torpedo launch bay in the bow of the ship, detonating dozens of 450-mm torpedoes inside, blowing up the capital of the Nicholas I, and it didn't last long, the ironclad battleship sank to the bottom of the sea, and the Russian naval officers and sailors on the warship only escaped less than 100 people.

When the Nicholas I sank, its main guns did not open fire, because it and the main guns of the ironclad battleship Alexander II of the same class were two old guns of 35 times the caliber of 305 mm, and there was no threat at a distance of 8,000 meters, and only when entering 5,000 meters, this 35 times caliber giant cannon could bombard the enemy's warships.

The Russian Navy's Joan of Arc-class large fast armored cruiser Sherafima was hit by a 210-mm shell, making a large opening of more than 5 meters in the underwater armor, although the Sherafima did not sink, but the speed has dropped from 21.8 knots to 16 knots.

The French naval expeditionary fleet also lost 1 capital warship, moreover, an all-steel battleship in the fourth round of main gun salvo of the Northeast Navy.

The Cecilia-class all-steel battleship Audrey was hit by a 305 mm main gun shell of the Northeast Navy all-steel battleship Changchun that penetrated the 190 mm waterline armor, and exploded near the ammunition compartment of a main gun shell in the Audrey, the steel wall of the ammunition compartment could not resist the power of the explosion of the 305 mm shell, and instantly detonated hundreds of shells of the same 305 mm in the ammunition compartment, and the all-steel battleship with a displacement of 13,500 tons was blown off the keel and sunk into the sea in two. None of the French officers and sailors on board survived, and all sank to the bottom of the Ussuri Bay with the warship. (To be continued......) R1292
