The battlecruiser "Longyao" sank the battleship "Sagami" of the Japanese Navy in one fell swoop, which made the battlecruiser "Longhui" who followed the "Longyao" battlecruiser very red-eyed.

However, the opponent of the 'Longhui' battlecruiser was also much stronger than that of the 'Longyao' battlecruiser. The opponents of the battlecruiser "Ryuyao" were the battleship "Iwami" and the armored cruiser "Izumo". The armored cruiser Izumo was directly ignored by the battlecruiser Ryuhui, and all four twin 305mm guns were aimed at the battleship Iwami.

The battleship Iwami was a battleship of the Russian Navy captured by the Japanese Navy during the Russo-Japanese War. It was the strongest of those captured battleships. It has a displacement of more than 13,000 tons and is armed with two twin 305-mm 40-caliber guns. It's just that compared with the dreadnoughts of the Imperial Navy, the gap between such firepower is still not ordinarily large.

In the face of the blow of the battlecruiser "Longhui", the battleship "Iwami" was also in danger. Especially after the battleship "Sagami" was sunk, the sailors on the battlecruiser "Longhui" broke out one by one with greater fighting spirit.

The captain of the battleship Iwami, Yushiro Hanabo, looked pale and looked at the column of water that was constantly splashing around the battleship Iwami. He knew that it was only a matter of time before the battleship Iwami was sunk.

"Damn, how could the people of China have such a powerful warship? This time, if the Combined Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy wants to win, I am afraid it will not be so easy. "Yushiro Hanabo thought secretly. The battleship Iwami had already eaten a torpedo during the previous attack of the lightning strike formation of the Imperial Navy. However, fortunately, it was not hit hard, but the speed dropped by two or three knots. However, this time no matter how you look at it. They're all already doomed.

"Fight back, hit me hard! Even if the Iwami is sunk, it will definitely not make the Shina people feel better. Hanabo Yushiro Osaku ordered viciously. In a desperate situation, the wildness in the bones of the Japanese is stimulated. Anyway, they are all dead, and if they can hit the warships of the Chinese Navy, then they will be even dead. You will also become a hero, and you can enter the Yasukuni Shrine to enjoy incense offerings. This is undoubtedly the supreme glory for the Japanese soldiers.

In the face of the heavy shelling of the battlecruiser "Longhui", the battleship "Iwami" of the Japanese Navy also returned fire. The two twin 305 mm guns in the bow and stern opened fire desperately. It's just that because the combat distance is too far, their hit rate is very low.

The Izumo armored cruiser was not to be ignored, although the 203 mm guns did not pose a mortal threat to the battlecruiser Ryuhui. But these little Japanese still stubbornly poured their artillery fire on the battlecruiser 'Longhui'.

Seeing that the situation of the battleship "Iwami" is becoming more and more dangerous. The captain of the armored cruiser Izumo, Yudasa Takeshita, gave a frantic order, and he ordered the battleship Izumo to speed up its turn in order to shorten the distance between it and the battlecruiser Ryuhui. The main reason why the Japanese navy had a very low hit rate was that the engagement distance of 8,000 meters was far beyond their effective range. If they can shorten the distance of engagement, then their hit rate will undoubtedly skyrocket.

I saw that the armored cruiser 'Izumo' began to rush towards the 'Longhui' battle cruiser at high speed. When the battle lines of the two sides are facing each other. The speed is controlled at about 12 knots. The Izumo armored cruiser had a maximum speed of 20 knots, so it was easy to close the distance between the two sides.

But. The death-seeking behavior of the armored cruiser 'Izumo' undoubtedly attracted the attention of the battlecruiser 'Longhui'.

"Hmph, are you so eager to find death? Then it's done for you. The main and secondary guns were ordered to aim at the armored cruiser Izumo and sink the battleship first, and then deal with the battleship Iwami. "Commodore Liu Ziying, captain of the battlecruiser 'Longhui', immediately ordered the target of the shelling to be changed. All the fire was directed at the battlecruiser 'Izumo'.

It had already been proven in previous naval battles that the armored cruisers of the Japanese Navy were no match for the battlecruisers of the Imperial Navy. During the battle to break the diplomatic relationship, the battlecruiser "Longhui" sent the Japanese Navy's armored cruisers "Kasuga" and "Nisshin" to the bottom of the sea with one enemy and two enemies. Right now. The 'Izumo' armored cruiser's death-seeking behavior, the 'Longhui' battlecruiser naturally wouldn't let him go easily.

The four twin 305 mm guns of the battlecruiser 'Longhui' quickly turned and aimed at the armored cruiser 'Izumo' that was getting closer and closer. Before the 305 mm guns were fired, six 155 mm rapid-fire guns and six 88 mm rapid-fire guns were already pouring fire on the Izumo armored cruiser.

The armor of the armored cruiser 'Izumo' was not thick, and it was all old-fashioned armor. Even the shells of a 155-mm rapid-fire gun were enough to pose a huge threat to it. As a result, the armored cruiser Izumo had to act under the fierce artillery fire of the Ryuhui when it rushed towards the battlecruiser Ryuhui at high speed. So much so that in less than ten minutes, the old armored cruiser was hit and ignited.

Subsequently, the four twin 305 mm guns of the battlecruiser "Longhui" also joined the attack on the armored cruiser "Izumo", which put the "Izumo" armored cruiser in an extremely dangerous situation.

The crazy actions of the armored cruiser Izumo also shocked the battleship Iwami. Yushiro Hanabo immediately ordered the battleship Iwami to seize this opportunity and try to inflict heavy damage on the battlecruiser Ryukei. Otherwise, the self-sacrificing style of the armored cruiser 'Izumo' would be a complete waste.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

In the face of the frantic fire attack of the battlecruiser "Longhui", the armored cruiser "Izumo" also launched a brave counterattack. The two twin 203-mm main guns on the battleship, the seven 152-mm forty-caliber rapid-fire guns on one side, and the four 80-mm forty-caliber single-mounted guns, all opened fire frantically. These small-caliber shells, although they did not pose much of a threat to the battlecruiser 'Longhui'. But it was able to destroy the superstructure of the battlecruiser 'Longhui', as well as the exposed secondary gunners.

"Boom!"

A 152-mm shell hit the secondary gun emplacement of the battle cruiser 'Longhui', and several gunners who were operating the cannon were killed on the spot, and the shells stacked next to the gun emplacement were also killed. A raging fire was ignited.

The damage management personnel of the battlecruiser "Longhui" immediately carried out damage control. At the same time, a fierce return fire was also made at the armored cruiser 'Izumo'. The heavy fire of the secondary guns had already turned the armored cruiser Izumo into a blazing torch. However, it was still difficult for these secondary shells to cause fatal damage to the armored cruiser 'Izumo'.

The four twin 305-mm guns of the battlecruiser 'Longhui' were also firing continuously. As the distance continues to close, the accuracy of the shelling also rises in a straight line.

When the distance between the two sides rose to 4,000 meters, the four main guns of the battlecruiser 'Longhui' shelled it. It has formed a near-miss. Hitting the armored cruiser 'Izumo' was only a matter of time.

At 9:58 a.m., a 305-mm shell fired from the battlecruiser 'Ryuhui' accurately hit the bow of the armored cruiser 'Izumo'. The fragile deck armor was blown away, and the huge force directly shaved off the bow of the armored cruiser Izumo, and it looked as if a ferocious monster had bitten off the bow of the armored cruiser Izumo.

The momentum of the high-speed charge of the armored cruiser 'Izumo'. It also stopped all at once.

And, it doesn't stop there. The battlecruiser 'Longhui' was only two minutes later. Once again, it hit the armored cruiser 'Izumo'. This time, because the distance is constantly getting closer, the hit rate of the 'Longhui' battlecruiser has also increased a lot. In this round of salvo, two shells hit the armored cruiser "Izumo".

A shell hit the bow of the armored cruiser Izumo, sending the twin 203mm guns in the bow flying. Another shell hit the amidships of the armored cruiser Izumo. After the shell exploded. Directly tore through the middle part of the armored cruiser 'Izumo'. The boiler compartment was severely damaged, and hot steam rushed out of the boiler and permeated the entire boiler compartment. The Japanese sailors in the cabin were killed in an instant by the high temperatures. At the same time, the damage to the boiler compartment caused the speed of the armored cruiser "Izumo" to begin to decline rapidly. This further increased the accuracy of the Longhui battlecruiser.

10:06 a.m. The battlecruiser "Ryuhui" fired a salvo that ended the life of the armored cruiser "Izumo". In this salvo, four shells hit the Izumo. In addition, three of them had already been hit before, a total of seven 305-mm shells, which was enough to kill the 'Izumo'.

After being hit by four 305-mm shells again, the armored cruiser "Izumo" got seriously flooded. Despite the efforts of the damage management staff, in the end there was nothing they could do. A few minutes later, the armored cruiser Izumo sank into the sea. (To be continued.) )
