The lifeboat, which had just been replaced for less than a month, exploded and scattered with a scorching fireworks. Several nearby cables were severed, and the long snake rolled back upside down, snapping against the snorkel, crooking the forward-facing flare.

The eyes of Tsuboi Kozo and the Japanese soldiers on the ship were straight, and they opened their big mouths very unimagedly, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "Impossible!" ”

Don't bring such! The speed is so fast, the body is so agile, and the cannon is so accurate. What the hell are you guys in! Can the Navy really do such a scary process?

His Excellency the Major General did not dare to toss anymore. If this continues, I'm afraid it won't take a moment or three for them to torture these two boats to death!

The sporadic blows alone, the 50 percent hit rate was terrifying enough, and the explosion was so powerful that if one of them was unlucky enough to destroy the rudder, the guy in front of him would come back to his senses and be hit by a powerful artillery...... It's going to be fatal.

Pingjing Hang angrily pinched his finger bones into a miserable white, gritted his teeth and shouted: "All speed down!" Kill these two damn flies first. ”

At least he had to slow down to the point where the 47mm Hatch Chase gun could fire. At least that makes the other party dare not get too close. The farther apart you are, the worse your shooting accuracy drops, and the less threatening it will be.

However, they had just begun to slow down, but the two torpedo boats reacted more quickly than expected, and the X204, which was about to approach the front, shook off from the pointing angle of its front turret, and suddenly turned away from the pointing angle of its front turret, and maneuvered and flew away towards the front right.

The growth rate of the steamship is very slow and troublesome, and the time is calculated in a quarter of an hour.

The two torpedo boats had no intention of fighting them to the end, and they didn't want to take any risks. In the blink of an eye, he hid out of the range of the Japanese main gun.

Ten kilometers apart. With today's artillery and archery. If you want to hit, it has to be about the same as walking on the road and getting struck by lightning.

In such a period of upside-down effort, the "Dongsheng" freighter took the opportunity to run a few more kilometers. The Yoshino managed to close the distance and return to the way it was.

On the other side, the "Sina Speed" did not pass much. This time, the X202 boat rushed over with a good posture and extremely accurate guns, and two rounds passed, blowing a hole in its foredeck.

However, the ship finally fought back. The 25mm Hatch Chase cannon, controlled by Chilean naval soldiers, burst into a barrage of shells, making a dozen short splashes on the side. Like a frightened shark, the torpedo boat chose to turn its rudder to the right and swept in front of its bow.

Tsuboi's command ability is undoubtedly excellent, and his judgment is also accurate. After twenty minutes, the speed of the two ships was reduced to 16 knots, allowing the other two battleships to follow. Separated by a distance of about 20 kilometers, he continued to chase after him.

"It's a pity that there are no torpedoes! Otherwise, one performance will wipe out all these boats. ”

Yang Haiwei couldn't help but regret it. But it's useless to be really anxious about this. Torpedoes that are too backward are of little use when they come out. Advanced torpedoes, but they are not something that ordinary grass deck teams can handle.

No more than ten countries in the world are capable of developing advanced torpedoes. There are even fewer missiles than can be built, and the technology involved is the same as that of submarines. Countries with a slightly inferior industrial technology can only stare dryly. And this thing is also expensive, the Yankees' latest MK48 plus auxiliary equipment, it actually costs 3.5 million pieces!

Not to mention that you can't buy it, even if you buy it, millions of soft girl coins are distressing enough.

Although there is no need for such advanced things now, even if it is at the level of World War II, it can be improvised. However, Yang Haiwei still doesn't like those goods that can only run in a straight line. Even if the range is closer, even if it is only seven kilometers, it will work.

For example, the MK14 developed by the United States in World War II has a range of 8,400 meters if it is equipped with acoustic self-guidance. Of course, it had to be a good version that later solved the magnetic fuze and depth fixing device.

Torpedo technology is more strictly controlled than missile technology, and Yang can buy backward artillery technology unscrupulously, but he will never dare to let arms dealers get torpedoes. To solve the problem, we can only find ways to change little by little, so as not to arouse the vigilance of the outside world.

In addition, of course, it is self-research, but the people of the second plane are counting on it. In this world, Yang is also quietly forming a research team, but to produce results, at least until their industrial base in Kenya, Africa, is put into use.

Yang Haiwei was only momentarily emotional, and the too whimsical thought passed in a flash. He continued to steadfastly steer the freighter through the northern Yellow Sea. When it was still twenty or thirty kilometers away from Ocean Island, it suddenly turned again and plunged diagonally towards the southwestern waters!

"What the hell is he doing? Is it planning to escape to Weihai? ”

Tsuboi Kozo was a little confused. This left shot after stick, I don't have a clue, what do you want to do? Don't they know that such a course is very dangerous? You have to know that there are four warships crisscrossed in front and back.

"Well, no matter what idea you want to fight, you must not be able to escape our pursuit! It's not that easy to avoid! ”

Tsuboi Hangzo ordered the flag to be raised, and the "Sina Speed" and "Akijinzhou" followed closely to the left-turn rudder, taking advantage of the fact that they had already opened up the distance and had an advantage of five kilometers to the south, and cut straight to intercept it. In any case, these boats must not be allowed to run away lightly.

The "Sina Speed" had to speed up again, but fortunately it was a new ship, and the Chilean sailors who controlled it were very familiar, and there were no troublesome stumbles in the work. It's just that it takes a long time.

Yang Haiwei pinched the time too accurately! He steered at a speed of 16.5 knots at 45 degrees, and still let the opponent more than 13 kilometers away from him when he leveled the formation of the two battleships of the "Sina Speed". If the other party wanted to open fire, he had to at least adjust his attitude first, but as soon as it was delayed, the "Dongsheng", which kept sailing straight, ran away again.

Watching ...... It seems to be a little close!

No matter how Tsuboi felt abnormal, he was still reluctant to give up. After running like this for four or five hours, according to estimates, their sea dimension was almost parallel to the Japanese army's main team, and Yang Haiwei also reached a distance of about 100 kilometers north of Weihai.

Kawahara had to remind him: "Major General, we are more than a hundred kilometers away from our team!" If this continues, it will be very difficult to connect. Beware of the other party's conspiracy! ”

Looking at the "Dongsheng", which began to slow down slowly, Tsuboi Kozo hesitated. Do you just give up? That's a bit unwilling! Obviously the harvest is ahead, and it seems that the abominable armed freighter will also be underpowered, and if you work harder, you may be able to block it before it enters the Bohai Sea.

Yang Haiwei was like dropping a carrot in front of the donkey's head, teasing them to keep running forward, and they were always almost able to get there, such a toss was simply crazy.

Tsuboi Hangzo struggled fiercely in his mind for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly: "If they continue to escape, don't pursue too much." Take 10 nautical miles as the limit and make a final test! ”

"Hay! That's it. ”

Kawara wanted to speed up the battleship at once. At this time, the distance between their two ships and the other two ships widened to almost ten kilometers, and it was not too big to say small. The two are in the posture of the upper and lower clamps, like big pliers trying to bite out.

But at this time, Yang Haiwei received a message from Yang Hao that he had already met the North Sea Fleet.

"That's the end of the play, lead them into the urn!"

The "Dongsheng" suddenly turned right and turned its rudder to the north, making a gesture of galloping towards Lushun.

Tsuboi Kozo tried to pursue for more than ten nautical miles, but as soon as the speed was raised, he was rushed by two torpedo boats and there was another disturbance.

After pestering for almost an hour, he decided to give up. All the ships slowed down and moved closer to the middle rendezvous. At this moment, Yang Haiwei maneuvered again, turned around at a large angle, and went straight east in the direction of the Goryeo Peninsula!

The Japanese are collectively furious! You're playing with us like fools, aren't you?

Especially Tsuboi Hangsan, his repeated misjudgments made him hot-skinned and couldn't hang up. After determining that Yang Haiwei's course was correct, he was immediately furious and shouted: "All speed up, catch up!" This time, no matter where he wants to flee, he must be thoroughly pursued to the end! ”

All the Japanese ships, at last, like crazy, increased to 18 knots, and pursued them in rear--they were still worried that they would be scattered and attacked!

Yang Hao met the Beiyang Fleet head-on in the waters east of Shoulong Island.

When his strangely shaped steam speedboat sailed into the field of vision of the "Laiyuan" that opened the way ahead, the pipe belt Qiu Baoren was extremely surprised. At such a time, such a line is a gunboat...... Well, he also saw the 76mm main gun in the bow, and the corners of his mouth twitched when he boarded, and he didn't know how to evaluate it.

Yang Hao took a nap for a few hours, regained his blood slightly, and went out to make a show of his spirit, so that the other party could see him, and then slowed down and waited for him to approach.

After a brief exchange with Qiu Baoren, when he heard that it was actually the latest situation of the Japanese army, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly waved the flag to the rear flagship "Dingyuan" and asked him to lean over.

Admiral Ding Ruchang and Captain Liu Buyun stood in front of the flying bridge early to overlook. Especially Liu Buyun, who saw the boat with the telescope that Yang Hao gave him, couldn't help but praise: "The Yang family's methods are really extraordinary." This has made such a neat gunboat, I really don't know what the hell is going on in their house, there are so many tricks! ”

Ding Ruchang just frowned and did not comment. In his bones, he didn't have a good impression of Yang Hao. I always feel that this guy always can't get along with Li Zhongtang's subordinates. Which one is going to come out today?

Yang Hao approached the torpedo boat, approached with an assault boat and got on the "Dingyuan", and when they met, he said to the two: "The Japanese fleet is all dispatched. They bought seven warships from Chile, one of which was more advanced than Dingzhen! Next, I'm afraid it's a bad battle! ”

"Huh?! Is that news true?! ”

Ding Ruchang and the others were reminded by Yang Hao a few days ago, but they were suspicious. Li Hongzhang went to ask the British and Chileans, but they were all vaguely prevaricated. A group of people were still lucky, thinking that Japan didn't have so much money to buy it, but unexpectedly, the bad news really came!

What can I do? (To be continued......)
