The sinking of the battleship "Settsu" and the battleship "Hanoi" made the situation of the Japanese Navy even more difficult. The remaining battleships "Ise", "Hyuga", "Fuso" and "Yamashiro" had to be defeated by one.

Originally, the Japanese Navy was at a disadvantage in the duel. Now that they are flanked, the possibility of them being sunk is undoubtedly much greater.

"Yaga! The cunning Shina people, the shameless Shina people, they only know how to bully the less, and they don't dare to have a one-on-one duel with the imperial warriors. General Gentaro Yamashita yelled angrily. The defeat in the naval battle made him almost lose his mind.

"Your Excellency Commander, a telegram has been sent from the heavy cruiser formation, and we are facing the blows of the battle patrols and heavy cruisers of the Chinese people, and the heavy cruiser formation has suffered heavy losses." The Chief of Staff of the Fleet, Rear Admiral Sojiro Sakauchi, reported.

This is completely a house leak that happened to rain overnight! The main fleet of the Japanese Navy is already difficult to protect itself. Not to mention going to the rescue of the heavy patrol formation. Even, Senior Admiral Gentaro Yamashita hoped that the heavy patrol formation would be able to drag the Chinese Navy's battle patrol formation to the death. Avoid the Battle Patrol Formation joining the main battlefield. Otherwise, the Japanese Navy would have been able to defeat three enemies. When the time comes, they will have even less chance of winning.

"Order the heavy patrol formation, and drag the battle patrol of the people of China to death!" General Gentaro Yamashita ordered. Even now, he hasn't completely given up hope. Although, it is foreseeable that the future of the Japanese Navy is already very bleak. However, until the last moment, these Japanese will not give up. It's completely just not hitting the south wall and not looking back.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Maj. Gen. Sojiro Sakauchi nodded. He knew that such an order was to send the heavy patrol formation to death. However, he also understands General Gentaro Yamashita better, and there is no way to do it. Who said that the current war is not going well, and the Japanese Navy has already suffered heavy losses?

"Boom! Rumble! "Eight battleships of the Imperial Navy. Heavy fire began on four battleships of the Japanese Navy. And the four battleships of the Japanese Navy also launched a heroic counterattack.

"Brothers, now that the Japanese are concentrating their firepower on the flagship, this is a rare opportunity for us! We have to be distracted and play well. In one fell swoop, the battleship "Ise" in small Japan was sunk. "The captain of the battleship 'Huaxia' ordered.

The Japanese Navy's battleship "Ise" placed its main target on the battleship "Zhonghua", which undoubtedly gave the battleship "Huaxia" a perfect opportunity. They could fire at the Ise almost undisturbed without fear of being hit.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The three triple 50-caliber 343-mm guns of the battleship 'Huaxia' fired another salvo at the battleship 'Ise'. Nine 343-mm shells roared towards the battleship Ise.

Eight shells fell around the battleship Ise, splashing columns of water into the sky. However, another shell hit the amidships of the battleship Ise.

The six main guns of the battleship 'Ise'. Adopt the method of deploying two seats in the front, middle and rear. This main gun happened to hit the No. 3 turret on the amidships. Unfortunately, due to the angle, the shell did not penetrate the turret, but was bounced away.

It's just that after the cannonball was bounced off, it hit the chimney behind. After the explosion, the chimney was blown off. Collapsed chimneys. It smashed into the No. 3 and No. 4 turrets amidships, rendering them ineffective. Other than that. After the chimney was blown up, the poisonous smoke could not be dispatched in time, and it filled the boiler room, poisoning the sailors inside. As a result, the speed of the battleship also began to decrease.

On the bridge of the battleship Ise, Admiral Gentaro Yamashita's face was already gloomy, as if he could drip water. He knew that the battleship 'Ise' was probably doomed this time.

"Your Excellency, Commander. The chimney was blown off, the No. 3 main turret and the No. 4 main turret were smashed and rendered unusable. In addition, the boiler compartments were affected, and the speed of the battleship was decreasing. Hyaktake Saburo Osa asks you to replace the flagship. Major General Sojiro Sakauchi said.

Obviously. In its current state, the battleship "Ise" was no longer able to serve as a flagship. In order to better command the fleet operations, it was necessary for Admiral Gentaro Yamashita to replace the flagship.

General Gentaro Yamashita hesitated, but nodded. He also knew that once the speed of the 'Ise' battleship slowed down, it would definitely become a key target for the Chinese Navy's battleships. When the time comes, it will be difficult for the battleship "Ise" to escape.

Senior Admiral Gentaro Yamashita and Rear Admiral Sojiro Sakauchi, with some staff officers, left the battleship "Ise" in a transport boat and went to the battleship "Hyuga" to continue directing the battle. However, before leaving, Gentaro Yamashita told the captain of the battleship "Ise" that he must fight to the end and strive to inflict heavy damage on the warships of the Chinese Navy.

"Great, this cannon has caused the battleship 'Ise' to suffer a lot of injuries, and if a few more shots are fired, this battleship can be completely destroyed." Marshal Cheng Biguang smiled. The development of the war situation is very beneficial to the Imperial Navy. At least for now, the Imperial Navy has a very good chance of winning.

"Well, the battleship 'Ise' was pinned down by the battleship 'Chugoku'. The Huaxia battleship can play a good role. Vice Admiral Li Dingxin, chief of staff of the fleet, nodded.

Two minutes later, the battleship "Huaxia" hit the battleship "Ise" again. A shell exploded on the rear deck of the battleship Ise, sending a dazzling burst of fire.

A 343-mm shell, weighing more than 600 kilograms, easily smashed through the aft deck of the battleship "Ise" and exploded below deck. The violent explosion destroyed several nearby cabins and ignited a raging fire.

Being hit by two large-caliber shells in succession, the battleship "Ise" suffered a lot of damage. However, although such a wound was severe, it could not cause fatal damage to the battleship Ise.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

The remaining four twin 356-mm guns of the battleship 'Ise' continued the counterattack. In this round of counterattacks, little Japan seems to have taken **** luck. A shell hit the side of the battleship 'Zhonghua', blowing a large hole in the side and destroying a 155-mm secondary gun.

However, the sharp counterattack of the battleship 'Zhonghua' immediately took the life of the battleship 'Ise'.

During this salvo, a 343-mm shell hit the No. 1 main gun on the foredeck of the battleship "Ise". Moreover, the angle was very tricky, directly penetrating the gun mount, and it did not explode until it penetrated the steel plate of the ammunition depot.

The violent explosion immediately killed hundreds of 356-mm shells in the ammunition depot. The violent explosion directly lifted the No. 1 turret, which weighed hundreds of tons, into the air. At the same time, the adjacent No. 2 turret was also blown up.

The entire bow of the battleship Ise was blown up in a violent explosion, and the sea water rushed into the battleship in a frenzy.

The captain of the battleship "Ise", Momotake Saburo Osa, immediately ordered the ship to be abandoned. However, it was already too late. In less than two minutes, the battleship Ise sank into the sea with its bow facing down and stern facing up. Of the 1,360 crew members on the battleship, only a handful managed to escape, and the rest sank into the sea with the battleship.

"Haha! That's great. One more was killed, and three more were born. It is necessary to seize the last three battleships of the Japanese Navy and destroy them all. Marshal Cheng Biguang smiled.

"Eight ships against three, we will win!" Lieutenant General Li Dingxin, chief of staff of Jian Cui, also said.

It can be said that the morale of the Imperial Navy is now greatly boosted, and everyone believes that victory is already a matter of ironclad.

The Japanese Navy, on the other hand, had low morale. The sinking of the previous two 'Hanoi-class' battleships already made them feel that victory was hopeless. Now that even the flagship battleship "Ise" has sunk, is there any hope for the Japanese Navy to win?

As soon as General Yamashita Gentaro and his entourage boarded the battleship Hyuga, they saw the scene of the sinking of the battleship Ise, which made Gentaro Yamashita and others stunned, and at the same time had some palpitations. If they hadn't gone fast, they might have sunk into the sea like the men on the battleship Ise.

"Your Excellency, what are we going to do?" Major General Sojiro Sakauchi asked. He looked depressed, apparently having lost his faith.

"Raise the flagship flag, we will fight with the people of China to the end, even if we fight to the last soldier, we will never give up!" General Gentaro Yamashita ordered.

Although, the morale of the Japanese Navy was already low. However, the Japanese Navy continued to resist stubbornly.

After the flagship flag was raised from the battleship Hyuga, Senior Admiral Gentaro Yamashita commanded the Japanese Navy to continue the battle. However, this also made the battleship Hyuga a key target of siege by the Imperial Navy.

"Hmph, does little Japan want to be trapped and fighting? From now on, the 'Zhonghua', 'Huaxia', 'Shenzhou' and 'Yanhuang' will all concentrate their firepower on the "Hyuga" and send the new flagship of Little Japan to the bottom of the sea! Marshal Cheng Biguang ordered.

The battle had reached this point, and the victory of the Imperial Navy had been fully laid. However, since little Japan did not admit defeat and wanted to continue fighting, this was also in line with the imperial navy's intentions. Sink all these warships of the Japanese Navy, and the Japanese Navy will no longer have the strength to turn over. (To be continued.) )
