"Boom! Rumble! "The six twin 356-mm guns of the battleship 'Hyuga' are still firing. However, the so-called two fists are hard to beat four hands. Not to mention the four most powerful battleships of the Imperial Navy.

It can be said that the return fire of the battleship "Hyuga" was nothing more than a death struggle. Even the most optimistic people would not think that the Japanese Navy still has the power to turn the tables.

The two 'Fuso-class' battleships of the Japanese Navy are still fighting one against the other. The battleship "Fuso" faced the siege of the battleships "Longxing" and "Longfu" of the Imperial Navy. Although the battleship "Fuso" had six 12 356-mm guns, the battleship "Longxing" and the battleship "Longfu" combined also had 16 343-mm guns, which is a quarter more in terms of the number of main guns.

As for the battleship "Yamashiro", it was against the battleships "Longteng" and "Longxiang" of the Imperial Navy, with 12 356 mm guns against 20 305 mm guns. Even though the battleship 'Yamashiro' had the advantage of the caliber of its main guns, it was still very embarrassed by the Imperial Navy in actual combat.

The reason why the Japanese Navy deployed so many main guns on the 'Fuso-class' battleships and the 'Ise-class' battleships was because they wanted to implement the doctrine of single-ship superiority. When the number of capital ships is inferior to that of the Chinese Navy, win by the performance advantage of each capital ship. It's just that, now it seems, this strategy seems to have failed and was not able to bring victory to the Japanese Navy.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The six 356-mm guns of the battleship 'Yamashiro' fired a salvo, and the huge recoil caused the battleship to move sideways on the surface of the sea. 12 356-mm shells roared towards the battleship "Longteng" of the Imperial Navy.

Perhaps because of the blessing of Amaterasu, a 356-mm shell hit the bow of the battleship Ryuteng, directly killing the bow and blowing a large hole. It's just that such an injury is for the battleship "Longteng" with a displacement of nearly 30,000 tons. It's not serious, let alone fatal. Subsequently, the battleship "Longteng" counterattacked. Five twin 305-mm guns opened fire, and ten shells whizzed towards the battleship 'Yamashiro'.

During this salvo, a 305-mm shell hit the aft deck of the Yamashiro. It was also a minor injury, but it was successful and colored.

When the battleships "Longteng" and the battleships "Yamashiro" were bombarded. The battleship 'Longxiang' opened fire in an orderly manner. Rounds of salvo fire kept throwing shells on the head of the battleship 'Yamashiro'.

Because it was almost undisturbed, the battleship 'Longxiang' played very well. In almost every salvo, there were shells that hit the battleship 'Yamashiro'. Although, the power of the 305-mm shell seems to be somewhat too small. However, after being hit several times in a row, the battleship 'Yamashiro' had become scarred.

At 4:25 p.m., the battleship 'Longxiang' of the Imperial Navy. Once again, it hit the battleship 'Yamashiro'. In this round of salvo, two shells hit the battleship 'Yamashiro'. The battleship 'Yamashiro', which had already suffered heavy damage, was completely defeated.

"Click!" With a bang, the keel of the battleship 'Yamashiro' broke due to continuous hits, and the battleship, which had a displacement of nearly 30,000 tons, was cut in two at once. The Japanese sailors on the battleship fled in a hurry. However, the speed at which the battleship sank was very fast. In as little as two minutes. The battleship sank to the bottom of the sea.

The sinking of the battleship "Yamashiro" made the Japanese Navy completely desperate. The remaining battleships 'Hyuga' and 'Fuso'. Facing the encirclement and suppression of eight battleships of the Imperial Navy. No matter how you look at it, there is no chance of winning here.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we are finished, we have failed. Once again, we have been defeated by the Shina people! Sakauchi Sojiro Osa made no secret of the frustration on his face. In the face of the sharp attacks of the Imperial Navy, the battleships of the Japanese Navy sank one after another. Now, there are only two left. Moreover. These two battleships were under siege by the Chinese Navy, and it was obviously impossible for them to escape.

Although, Gentaro Yamashita was reluctant to admit defeat. But now that the matter has come to this, what more can he say?

"Your Excellency, Commander." The captain of the battleship Fuso, Sato Kurazo, sent a telegram claiming that the battleship Fuso had suffered heavy damage and asked to retreat. A staff officer reported to Gentaro Yamashita Osa.

'What?' Fuso' is going to retreat? No, absolutely not, tell Sato Zang that coward that the battleship 'Fuso' must hold on to the last moment! General Gentaro Yamashita roared angrily.

Although the battleship "Fuso" was hit by the Chinese Navy several times, they were only slightly damaged. The speed was not affected in any way, and the firepower was still there. Such a battleship can completely continue to fight, how can it be possible to retreat because of heavy losses? Obviously, Sato Zang Osa was scared, so he wanted to run away.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." The staff officer nodded, and immediately sent a telegram to the battleship 'Fuso'.

However, what is surprising is that even after receiving a telegram from Gentaro Yamashita Osa, the battleship "Fuso" still turned around and tried to escape at full speed. Obviously, the battleship 'Fuso' was determined to escape from the battlefield.

"Bastard, Sato is hiding that coward, he actually dared to disobey his orders and run away for the enemy, this is a capital crime! I'm going to report it to the country and put him to death!" General Gentaro Yamashita roared angrily.

It's just that it doesn't work anymore. The battleship "Hyuga" was besieged by the Imperial Navy, and apparently did not live long. Even if Sato Zang Osa was punished, they wouldn't see it.

The escape of the battleship 'Fuso' also surprised the Imperial Navy. Moreover, in the Japanese Navy that encountered before, there were almost no such people. In the concept of the Imperial Navy, the Japanese have always been fearless of death, and they regard death in battle as the highest glory of soldiers, so how could they take the initiative to escape? This was completely unexpected.

"Marshal, little Japan's 'Fuso' has fled." Lieutenant General Li Dingxin reported.

"Haha, I didn't expect Little Japan to have today! It seems that their bushido spirit is not omnipotent, they are just as afraid of death! Let the 'Shenzhou', 'Yanhuang', 'Longxing' and 'Longfu' go after the Fusang. The 'Ryuteng' and 'Ryuxiang' joined us in flanking the Hyuga. Destroy the last two battleships of Little Japan. Marshal Cheng Biguang ordered.

"Yes, Marshal." Lieutenant General Li Dingxin nodded.

The battleships "Longteng" and "Longxiang" were the first warships in service in the Imperial Navy, with a maximum speed of only 22 knots, and after a few years of service, the speed was further reduced. It is obviously unrealistic to let the 'Longteng-class' battleship catch up with the 'Fuso' battleship.

The Imperial Navy immediately readjusted, with eight battleships, four continuing to attack the battleship Hyuga, and the other four pursuing the battleship Fuso, ensuring that all the capital ships of the Japanese Navy were sunk.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The battleships of the Imperial Navy fired round after round of salvos, and one large-caliber shell after another, as if they didn't want money, frantically smashed at the Japanese Navy's 'Hyuga' battleship. As everyone knows, the battle has reached the final critical moment, and as long as the remaining warships of the Japanese Navy are also settled, the Imperial Navy will be victorious.

At this point, the Japanese Navy also knew that it was certain to die. However, even this brings out the kind of bestiality in the bones of the Japanese. The more than 1,000 Japanese naval officers and men on the battleship "Hyuga" were still frantically launching counterattacks.

"Boom!" A shell exploded on the battleship 'Huaxia' of the Imperial Navy. The huge power of the 356-mm shells smashed a large hole directly into the battleship, billowing smoke and igniting a raging fire.

However, the next moment, the battleship 'Hyuga' was hit in succession.

First of all, the battleship "Zhonghua" hit a 343-mm shell of the battleship "Hyuga" in this round of salvo fire, and blew a large hole in the amidships of the battleship "Hyuga".

Immediately afterwards, the battleship "Ryuteng" also threw a 305-mm shell on the battleship "Hyuga". Even if the 305-mm shells were weaker, they blew up the superstructure of the battleship "Hyuga".

Subsequently, the battleship "Ryusho" also hit the battleship "Hyuga".

It can be said that the battleship "Hyuga" hit the battleships of the Imperial Navy once, and it itself was hit countless times by the battleships of the Imperial Navy. Under such circumstances, the battleship "Hyuga" naturally has no chance of surviving.

At 4:48 p.m., the Imperial Navy's battleship 'Huaxia' completed the killing of the Japanese Navy's battleship 'Hyuga'. A 343-mm shell hit the waterline armor of the battleship 'Hyuga'. Waterline armor, up to 305 mm thick, was torn apart. The sea rushed into the battleship in a frenzy.

Even so, the damage management personnel on the battleship "Hyuga" made efforts. However, the battleship "Hyuga", which had already been scarred, could not support it at all. After holding out on to the sea for more than ten minutes, the battleship "Hyuga" capsized on its side. Subsequently, the battleship "Hyuga" sank into the sea in this position.

Before the sinking of the battleship Hyuga, the commander of the Combined Fleet, Admiral Gentaro Yamashita, refused to leave the ship, and in the name of the commander of the fleet, he sent a telegram to the country, claiming that the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy had been defeated and that all the main forces had been sunk.
