"Boom!" Although the Jinghai is not as thick-skinned as the Celestial Empire, a 150-millimeter shell, as long as it is not concentrated in key parts, still cannot have much impact on it, but this cannon arouses the anger of the officers and men of the Jinghai, and the officers and men on the ship curse loudly and curse the little devil loudly, and begin to shell the Yoshino desperately.

Perhaps Yoshino's luck had run out at the time of the Great Eastern Ditch, and not long after the Second Battle of Toshima began, the Yoshino was hit by four bullets one after another, among which the main gun of the Celestial Empire hit the Yoshino, and the Yoshino caught fire in the violent explosion. Tsuboi Kozo hurriedly ordered the damage management personnel to put out the fire.

At this time, the two fleets were interspersed, and seven battleships had already joined the battle, and since the Japanese fleet had not been lined up before the war, it was obviously a little chaotic.

"It's a pity! It would be nice to be able to sink Yoshino! Zhang Haitian couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the Yoshino that was moving away.

"Sink Yoshino! How can it be so easy! Although Yu Kun was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart, he was much calmer than Zhang Haiping. After observing the entire battlefield, I found that the Japanese ship Akitsuzu fell behind the Japanese fleet, just in time to enter the best angle of fire of our own fleet. Yu Kun's face turned cold, and he ordered loudly, "Gather fire to attack the Japanese ship Qiujin Zhou!" ”

"Boom, boom!" The order was quickly conveyed, and the battleship Celestial, the cruiser Zhenhai, and the cruiser Jinghai began to bombard Qiujinzhou one after another, and the scene of dozens of rapid-fire guns of various calibers firing together was still very spectacular.

The sea near the Akitsu Island was like rain for a while, and the violent explosion sounded, and the captain of the Akitsu Island, Hikono Uemura, was frightened for a while, sweating like rain, "Quick! Hurry up and drop! Catch up with the team! "Out of the battlefield.

"Boom!" A cannonball hit the island again, and the violent explosion made Uemura Hikonojo shrink suddenly. The Akitsuzu was in flames and smoke billowed to the sky. "Hurry up and put out the fire! Hurry up and drop! Uemura Hikonoki panicked, and he was already a little confused.

"Chirp~!" The cannonball pierced the air and emitted a piercing screech. A 320-millimeter bomb suddenly flew to the command room of the Qiujinzhou, and the violent explosion made the battleship shake violently, as if the entire battleship had disintegrated. Of course, Akitsu is not so vulnerable, but Uemura Hikonojo is not so lucky, and at the moment when the shell hit the command room, this little devil can't wait to report to their Amaterasu.

"Well done!" He Kun looked at Qiu Jinzhou, who was on fire, and shouted excitedly, "Just fight like this, even if you can't sink it, at least you have to cripple him!" ”

However, the bad luck of Qiujin Island seems to have come to an end, and the thick black smoke produced by the fire has become the best cover for Qiujin Island, although our three warships bombarded all the way, but they have never been hit again, and they can only watch as Qiujin Island emits black smoke and temporarily leaves the battlefield! However, at this time, the hull of Qiujinzhou had begun to tilt slightly, and it was obvious that the injury was not light.

"It's cheap!" Yu Kun said hatefully, "Order the Zhenhai Jinghai to move forward at full speed, pursue the Japanese troop transport, don't be polite to them, sink them directly if you have a chance!" ”

"Yes!"

Both the Zhenhai and Jinghai were faster than the Celestial Empire, so Yu Kuncai ordered the two ships to pursue the Japanese troop transports, while the Celestial Empire stayed behind to prepare to block the Japanese warships.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, the fire on the ship has been extinguished, but the No. 3 boiler is damaged and cannot be repaired in a short time. Akitsu Island was hit hard, a fire broke out on the ship, and it was temporarily out of the battle sequence! As soon as Kawahara walked into the command room, he wiped his face blackened by gunpowder with his hand and said.

Pingjing Hangsan had a gloomy face, as if he was going to eat people, "Baga Yalu!" These bastards, I'm going to sink them all! ”

"Report to Your Excellency the Commander! After the battleships of the Beiyang Naval Division cleared the battle formation of our army, they began to pursue our troop carriers! A Japanese officer ran in and said loudly.

"Nani!" Pingjing Hangsan's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly raised his binoculars, and sure enough, he saw three ships in the distance moving quickly in the southeast direction, Zhenhai and Jinghai had already gone far, while the Tianchao was slowly following behind the two cruisers, obviously taking on the task of breaking off. And in the distance, there were four vague black shadows, although they could not be seen clearly because the fog had not completely dispersed, but Tsuboi knew that those three warships were the four troop transports he escorted this time. Thinking of the 4,000 soldiers of the First Division on board, Tsuboi's face became even more difficult to look at, "Didn't these wastes let them hide far away?" Why is it still here. ”

The corners of Hahara's mouth couldn't help but show a wry smile, with the slow speed of the troop carrier, it was already very good to be able to run so far in such a short time! However, Kawahara knew that the commander in front of him was angry now, and Kawahara didn't dare to say anything.

"Catch up! Be sure to stop them! Although Tsuboi Kozo was angry, he had not lost his mind, and knew that it was useless to say anything now, so he could only order his warships to hurry up and protect the troop carriers.

At this time, except for Akitsusu, which was temporarily out of the battle sequence, the other three Japanese warships had already turned around, and formed a battle sequence led by the Yoshino.

The maximum speed of the Zhenhai and Jinghai both exceeded 20 knots, while the speed of the four Japanese troop carriers was much faster, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. After asking the captain, Rear Admiral Nishikanjiro of one of the troop carriers, knew that sooner or later he would be caught up by Qing warships, so Nishikuan Jiro decisively ordered, "The four troop carriers will flee by separate routes immediately!" "The four troop transports are sailing in four directions, while we only have three warships, and the Celestial Empire is left behind because of the break, and only two warships remain, so that at most two troop transports will be lost, and the other two will be able to escape. At this critical moment, Xikuan Jiro can only protect himself with such a broken arm.

When the Zhenhai and Jinghai saw that the Japanese troop carriers had fled separately, they could only pursue them by separate routes, and the Zhenhai waved flags, and the two warships pursued the two troop carriers on the left. After about half an hour of pursuit, the two ships caught up with the Japanese troop carriers, and after a fierce bombardment, the two ships sank one after another, and nearly 2,000 little devils on board fell into the water, and the Zhenhai and Jinghai respectively used machine guns and machine guns to strafe the Japanese troops who fell into the water.

At this time, the Celestial Empire had already fought with the four Japanese Yoshino ships, and the Celestial Empire was one enemy and three, but it did not fall behind at all.
