Just when the Parada hesitated. The Jingtai unceremoniously tilted its fire, and a large number of 4.7-inch rapid-fire guns swept wildly at the unprotected and lightly protected areas on the rear deck of the Parada. A series of explosions blew the back deck of the Parada to shreds. The fire that filled the deck burned even like the middle of the hull under the action of the sea breeze. One cabin after another became ovens. Things are getting a little dangerous on the Parada!

"Give up attacking Jinhae! Let's sink that little thing first! "Finally, the captain of the Parada could not stand the blows and provocations of the Jingtai to the Parada, and decided to concentrate all his efforts on counterattacking, which was also a helpless thing, and a large number of shells fell on the stern of the unprotected ship, which had the key equipment such as the wheelhouse and the propeller shaft. If it is defeated, the time that Parada can survive can only be calculated in hours, and the Beiyang Fleet, which rushed to hear the news, can definitely tear up this battleship with great loss of mobility in minutes!

Immediately, after signaling the Samurai, the huge Parada broke away from the battle column and turned right to meet the Jingtai. With the turn of the Parada, the well-preserved 6-inch rapid-fire gun and 12-pounder rapid-fire gun on the right side were slowly exposed to the Jingtai's field of vision like a shark's sharp teeth, although the stern of the Parada was still thick with smoke, but at this time the Parada was like a lion that was accidentally bitten by a hunting dog.

"It's finally here, it seems that we are about to become the first battleship of the Nanyang Naval Division to sink in battle." Sun Chen, the captain of the Jingtai, couldn't help but smile bitterly. If you only measure it from the condition of the ship, the Jingtai at this time is not as good as the superficially embarrassed Parada! The first blow not only almost destroyed the firepower on the side of the Jingtai, but also caused the Jingtai to have a serious tilt, after the balance of water injection, the Jingtai barely regained its balance, but at this time, the reserve buoyancy and internal losses have made the 4,000-ton battleship run out of fuel and dry up!

But even so, the last battle between the two sides was still very fierce! The desperate fight of the Jingtai made the Parada very uncomfortable. But with relatively good protection, the Parada still grasped the initiative in the battle step by step, and it was very fast. Under the blow of the 6-inch gun and the 12-pounder gun, the side of the Jingtai was riddled with holes, and even the 12-pounder gun could make a big hole in the thin hull plate, and the violent explosion not only broke the entire side chord, but even the ribs of the hull were shattered! The Jingtai went very slowly for a while after its last break. Didn't get killed by a single hit. But even at the end of the day, when the sea was about to rush onto the deck, the small-caliber rapid-fire guns on the deck of the Jingtai were still firing. Until the moment when the battleship sank to the bottom of the sea! Two hours after the start of the war, the Jingtai, a battleship that had served in two countries for nearly 10 years, finally sank into the rolling waves of the Yellow Sea!

The battle between the Parada and the Jingtai took less than half an hour. But in the space of this half an hour, the tide of battle has changed radically! The Zhenhai, which was greatly reduced, took the opportunity to extinguish the fire, and used the remaining naval guns to fight with the samurai, but it didn't go down! The Beiyang Fleet's tradition of protecting armaments has been completely inherited by Nanyang, don't look at the hull burned enough. But the firepower is really good! Surrounded by two battleships for a long time, half of the firepower was retained! After the fire was contained, the remaining artillery was re-equipped and the battle was launched! For a while, although the Samurai still had the advantage, it was impossible to solve the battle in a short time.

Just after the Parada finally sent the Jingtai to the bottom of the sea, Colonel Falk Hill thought that he could continue the unfinished work at hand and send the Zhenhai to the bottom of the sea. But after half a ring, I also saw the Parada coming back to support the flagship, only to turn around and find that the Parada had exchanged fire with a new warship! And this battleship is the cruiser Anhai that has just arrived! If both sides are at their best. The Azov-Sea armored cruiser is still stronger, on the one hand, because part of the 6-inch gun position of the Anhai is a bit low, and with the thick armor, the altitude is lower, and it is more affected by sea conditions. On the other hand, the Anhai is, after all, a half-leaved aircraft carrier. It's still a little worse than a regular cargo like the Parada.

But now the situation is different, the Anhai has hardly received much loss, after all, the Vostok was evacuated first. The fighting on both sides did not last long. But the Parada is different! Not to mention that it has been fighting for 2 hours, the price of being knocked out of the Jingtai is not low. The rear of the hull was almost burned enough, and the rear main gun was scrapped. This problem is nothing to fight the weak Jingtai, but if you want to fight a master like the Anhai, the loss of 2 8-inch guns is deadly! Coupled with the gunners who had been moving the shells for 2 hours and the damage management team that had been fighting the flames for 2 hours, the combat effectiveness of the Parada at this time had dropped to an extremely low level!

But at this time, the situation of the Nanyang Fleet was not good, and the condition of the Zhenhai was even worse than that of the Parada. Naturally, it is not suitable to continue to fight, and Ding Zhuqian and others understand the current situation in this sea area, the only force that can be relied on is Deng Shichang's two PISA-type armored cruisers, and if the Russians Prince and Russia are in this sea area, the two PISA are not superior, so after communicating with the Anhai, Ding Zhuoqian and Shao Jie decided to shrink the fleet first to protect themselves, at least now the transport fleet is safe and has not been attacked, so in this case, How to let more officers and men return to the military port safely is the first priority.

And after a long battle, the spearhead of the attack of the Russian cruiser was also broken. There is no point in the war being fought to this point, the avant-garde engagement between the two sides is over, and there is no need for the war to continue until the main forces of both sides arrive! As a result, Colonel Fokker Hill also ordered the fleet to shrink and confront the Beiyang Fleet, and at the same time sent a telegram to Essen asking it to arrive as soon as possible!

At this time, there was also a small episode, that is, for the rescue of the people who fell into the water of the Jingtai, before the two sides pulled away, the angry Captain Parada originally planned to shoot the person who fell into the water to vent his anger. But what I didn't expect was that an officer privately ordered to ask the flagship for instructions. I was taken aback when I received the telegram at Fox Hill! There is only one sentence in the callback: "What you do today will be what you will face tomorrow!" Although the two sides fought happily, they were basically "civilized warfare". If the war is turned into a never-ending war, it must be the Russians who are unlucky! After the end of the First Sino-Japanese War, those Japanese officers and soldiers who had participated in the massacre were examples, Beiyang did not like to kill indiscriminately, but the premise was not to touch the bottom line!

Thank you for the reward from the constellations that soar in the universe.
