Although Chen Ming, the commander of the Fourth Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy and the commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire in this attack on the port of Yokohama, did not understand how the two giant batteries that made him feel pressure were suddenly blown up, but at this time, it doesn't matter how they are finished, as long as they become ruins, Chen Ming immediately ordered excitedly: "Immediately let Qin Qiong and our flagship Zhao Yun fire at several other Japanese shore defense guns, and destroy the other batteries as soon as possible, Less trouble for our Royal Navy's total annihilation of the Japanese Navy in the port of Yokohama, haha, it seems that God is helping us. ”

Immediately, Zhao Yun and Qin Qiong, the two super dreadnought battleships, began to bombard the other 8 remaining batteries in Yokohama Port with their main guns, and the thickness of the remaining 8 batteries was not small compared to the No. 1 and No. 2 batteries, basically as long as the main gun shells of the super dreadnought battleships hit a certain battery, this battery would be destroyed in an instant and become a pile of ruins.

When the battle line composed of 4 Admiral-class super dreadnought battleships was 20,000 meters away from the port of Yokohama, half of the 8 batteries had been blown into a pile of ruins by the main guns of the 2 super dreadnought battleships, and at this time, the battle line composed of 16 dreadnought battleships of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire also approached the position of 20,000 meters from the port of Yokohama, and began to fire a salvo of the main guns of the Japanese dreadnought battleships in the port of Yokohama.

In the port of Yokohama, the Japanese Navy also had 1 Hyuga-class dreadnought, 1 Kagu-class dreadnought, 3 Hanoi-class dreadnought, as well as 4 Delaware-class dreadnought battleships and 1 Wyoming-class dreadnought battleship captured by the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet. A total of 10 dreadnought battleships were fired, and after the main guns of the 16 dreadnought battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy opened fire, they also launched a salvo of their main guns at the dreadnought battleships of the Chinese Empire. Bombard with 16 dreadnought battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy.

To tell the truth, at this time, the vast majority of Japanese naval officers and men in the port of Yokohama already felt hopeless, and the 18 batteries that Japan spent a lot of money to build in the port of Yokohama after several years are now only 4 batteries are still surviving, and the shore defense guns in these 4 batteries. The largest caliber is no more than 4 doors of 210 mm, against the warships of the Imperial Chinese Navy, especially the super dreadnought battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy. There is no longer much threat, and it will basically not cause serious damage to the dreadnought battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy, even all-steel battleships.

The Japanese Navy is engaged in a main gun confrontation with the Chinese Imperial Navy's Super Dreadnought Battleship, and two captured U.S. Navy Super Dreadnought Battleships. One of them. The super dreadnought battleship called the Adams has already ignited a sky-high fire, the smoke is dozens of meters high, although it has not completely lost its combat effectiveness, but two-fifths of the main gun fire has been completely muted, and the fire has not been controlled until now, and it is still spreading to some important parts of the Adams.

The other Kennedy super dreadnought battleship was not without injuries. One 343-mm armor-piercing shell pierced the deck armor of the USS Kennedy, exploding inside its hull. Although it didn't hit important parts, it also damaged some of the boiler pipes, slowing down the Kennedy Super Dreadnought Battleship a lot.

Juno Sakai, the temporary Japanese Navy captain of the USS Kennedy Super Dreadnought, and Yokoichi Hashimoto, the temporary Japanese Navy captain of the USS Adams Super Dreadnought, sent telegrams to Heihachiro Togo, hoping that their warships could break out of the port of Yokohama.

The Japanese in the port of Yokohama are decreasing little by little, and even the Japanese Minister of the Navy and commander of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, Heihachiro Togo, seeing the increasingly serious situation in the port of Yokohama, can't help but say to the Japanese Navy Commander next to him with some discouragement: "Inform several army divisions in Yokohama that they are preparing to resist the landing of the Chinese Imperial Army in Yokohama, and it seems that our Imperial Japanese Navy cannot stop it." ”

Dazuo hesitated for a moment and said: "Commander, our Imperial Japanese Navy still has many warships in the port of Yokohama, and now that the coastal defense artillery in the port has basically lost its effect, it is better to order the remaining warships of our Imperial Japanese Navy to break through immediately, so that these warships can retreat to the port of Tokyo, where more than 20 batteries have many large-caliber coastal defense guns, which will definitely be able to block the attack of the fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy." ”

At this moment, another violent explosion sounded, the Japanese Navy captured the Wyoming-class dreadnought battleship Yabulmore of the US Navy, and just launched the main gun confrontation with the dreadnought battleship of the Chinese Imperial Navy, it was hit fatally, 1 305 mm armor-piercing shell penetrated the deck armor of the Dreadnought Yabulmore battleship, and directly drilled into an ammunition bin before exploding, instantly detonating hundreds of 305 mm shells in the ammunition bin, and blowing up the Dreadnought Yabulmore in two at once, Quickly sink to the surface of the sea.

The Japanese Navy Commander continued: "Commander, we have lost another dreadnought battleship, and if this continues, most of the main forces of our Imperial Japanese Navy will have to be wiped out by the Chinese Imperial Navy. ”

This Japanese Navy Osa is one of Togo Heihachiro's staff officers, and has always been deeply respected by Togo Heihachiro, Togo Heihachiro listened to the words of the Japanese Navy Bossa, and sighed helplessly and said: "It seems that it is impossible not to break through, without the support of the Yokohama Port Shore Defense Artillery, it is impossible to repel this huge fleet of the Chinese Imperial Navy in the port of Yokohama, continue to fight, these warships of our Imperial Japanese Navy in the port of Yokohama, including the captured warships of the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy, All of them had to be wiped out by the navy of the Chinese Empire. ”

After a pause, Heihachiro Togo continued: "Convey the commander's order to the captains of each warship, all warships break through in the direction of the port of Tokyo, and all the warships converge in the port of Tokyo. See you in Tokyo! ”

Dazuo nodded, thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Commander, the current situation. It is necessary to let some warships make sacrifices and entangle the fleet of the Chinese Imperial Navy, otherwise there will not be too many warships of the Imperial Japanese Navy in the port of Yokohama who can successfully break through, especially the main battleships of our Imperial Japanese Navy, and they must be allowed to break through to the port of Tokyo as much as possible. ”

Heihachiro Togo understood that what his staff officer said was very correct. I had to endure my grief and surrender to the 20 surviving torpedo boats of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, as well as the capture of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet's surviving 5 large fast armored cruisers, 10 fast protection cruisers, 19 destroyers, 30 torpedo boats, and 8 submarines. Giving the order after the break is actually equivalent to an order to die, after all, in order to keep the remaining main battleships of the Japanese Navy, these warships left behind. It was necessary to face dozens of capital battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy, as well as hundreds of warships of other types. The end result can be imagined.

In addition to the remaining capital battleships of the Japanese Navy, the original 5 large fast armored cruisers, 8 fast protection cruisers and 9 destroyers of the original Japanese Navy Combined Fleet will also break through with the main battleships.

In the bridge of the USS Kennedy's super dreadnought, a Japanese Navy Nakasa held a piece of paper in his hand, ran to the side of Captain Juno Sakai in front of the observation window of the bridge and shouted: "Captain, the commander has sent an order to break through, let our super dreadnought battleship break through in the direction of Tokyo, all the warships that break through." Rendezvous at the port of Tokyo, the commander left behind a group of warships to continue to entangle the fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy in the port of Yokohama. Create opportunities for warships breaking through. ”

Listening to Togo Heihachiro's order to break through, Sakai's gloomy face did not change at all, and he asked the Japanese Navy lieutenant: "What happened to the damaged boiler pipes?" ”

Nakasa immediately replied: "The damage management personnel on our warship reported that the damaged boiler pipes are very serious, and it is impossible to restore them in a short time. ”

Juno Sakai slammed his fist on the platform in front of the observation window, and said indignantly: "Your Excellency the Commander should have given the order to break through earlier, now part of the boiler pipes of our super dreadnought battleship has been damaged, which will have a very big impact on the speed of our super dreadnought battleship, without high speed, it is simply an impossible task to break through to the port of Tokyo here in the port of Yokohama, so many main battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy are not ornaments, They will certainly do their best to intercept and pursue our warships that have broken through. ”

Nakasa said worriedly: "Captain, what should we do then?" It is impossible to stay in the port of Yokohama in the current situation, otherwise sooner or later we will be overwhelmed by countless shells, our super dreadnought battleship. ”

Juno Sakai smiled bitterly and said: "What else can I do, I can only break through in the direction of Tokyo with other warships of the Imperial Japanese Navy, I hope Amaterasu can bless us!" ”

Compared with the depression of Juno Sakai, the temporary captain of the Japanese Navy, Yokoichi Hashimoto, another super dreadnought battleship Adams, collapsed even more.

The Adams Super Dreadnought Battleship was hit by several 343 mm armor-piercing shells in the bombardment with the Li Mu Super Dreadnought Battleship of the Imperial Chinese Navy, and two twin 45 times the caliber 356 mm main guns were destroyed, so that there were only 6 Adams main guns left, and the fire on the Adams has not been extinguished, and there is still a very big threat to some important parts of the warship, especially the ammunition warehouse, if the fire is allowed to burn over, then the Adams should die, Even several boilers in one of the power compartments of the USS Adams were affected by the power of the explosion of the armor-piercing shells, which greatly affected the speed of the USS Adams Super Dreadnought.

The Adams Super Dreadnought, which was so scarred, received the order to break through, and the captain Hashimoto Yokoichi not only did not feel relieved, but raised his heart to his throat, and now the Addams Super Dreadnought Battleship is breaking through, and it is likely to embark on a road of no return.

In the port city of Yokohama, the Japanese Army has 3 standing heavy divisions and 1 standing light division, namely the 50th Division, the 51st Division, the 52nd Division and the 108th Division.

The division commander of the 50th Division, Hiroo Harano, held a piece of paper in his hand and said with a gloomy face: "The navy can't hold on, Heihachiro Togo sent a telegram to our 4 divisions, the remnants of the navy's warships are ready to break through in the direction of Tokyo, so that our 4 divisions are ready to resist the attack of the Chinese Imperial Army on Yokohama City." ”

The division commander of the 51st Division, Fukuda Naga, frowned and said: "Didn't the Navy build 18 strong batteries in the port of Yokohama, equipped with a large number of shore defense guns? Coupled with the warships of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet, which the Navy has just captured, how can it be so quickly unable to hold up? ”

Harano Hiroo sighed and said: "The fleet sent by the Chinese Empire is very large, plus it has a number of aircraft carriers, under the attack of the Chinese Empire's fighters and warships, the navy's warships have suffered great losses, dozens of warships have been sunk, and even the 18 batteries in the port of Yokohama have been mostly blown into a pile of ruins, and now there are 4 batteries still holding on, but the large-caliber coastal defense guns of more than 280 mm have all been blown up, and the threat of the coastal defense guns of the port of Yokohama to the main battleships of the Chinese Imperial Navy has been minimal. ”

Ozawa Nagata, the commander of the 52nd Division, said: "It seems that the Chinese Empire did not send an army or marines to follow the fleet to the port of Yokohama this time, even if the navy was defeated, and our Yokohama Castle should also be safe." ”

Hiroo Harano followed, "I hope so! Although our army and navy have always been full of contradictions, the disastrous defeat of our navy this time is absolutely a disaster for our entire Japanese Empire, and without the navy's protection of the coast, the army of the Chinese Empire will not be able to launch a landing operation on the mainland of our Great Japanese Empire. ”

Kazuo Sato, the commander of the 108th Division, pouted and said: "Our army is not a group of soft eggs in the navy, the empire invested a lot of money in the navy, and as a result, as soon as it fought with the navy of the Chinese empire, it had to abandon the ports of the empire and flee in disgrace. If the army of the Chinese Empire dares to land on the mainland of our Great Japanese Empire, our army will just let other countries see who is the strongest army in the world! (To be continued.) )
