The Chinese fleet was obviously more dominant in degree, although they were all second-hand ships, but after replacing the power system and replacing the propellers that were more in line with the fluid science, the degree of battleships among these second-hand warships was increased to the maximum of 2 knots, and the armored cruisers were even increased to the maximum range of 2 to 2 knots.

And several of Japan's current battleships have been reduced to 1o knots due to the Iwami flooding, and even if it is allowed to break away from the battle line, the relatively intact Sagami can only reach 17 knots, the fastest degree of Zhoufang and Iki is only more than 15 knots, and the three armored cruisers are faster, but there is only a maximum voyage of about 2 knots.

At 6:61, the battle line of the Chinese fleet had reached the front of the Japanese battle line and began to turn into a "factory" shape.

"Boom, boom...... Boom Boom Boom ...... Boom Boom ......Boom "Before the turn of the Chinese fleet was over, a seventh salvo was fired.

In the sixth salvo just now, Iwami was hit by two more shots, and although the first shot hit the bridge without penetrating, the violent vibration caused the inner armor to collapse in a large area, causing a large number of casualties among the inside. The other shot hit the port side again, which had been greatly broken, killing a large number of damage control personnel, making the situation even worse. This frustrated the Iwami's attempt to balance the ship by filling it with water on the starboard side. At this time, the Iwami's hull had been tilted 4o degrees, and the port deck was almost touching the water, and the fate of capsizing could not be saved.

At this time, the three ships Hizen, Tango, and Iwami were either sunk or had lost their combat effectiveness, and the Chinese fleet did not waste firepower on them. Instead, the target was shifted to the three ships of Sagami, Zhoufang, and Iki in the back.

This round of firing was greatly reduced by the Japanese fleet, and the distance between the two sides had been reduced to 136o meters, and the hit rate increased again.

The first to be unlucky was the Iki, a trophy of the Russo-Japanese War, the battleship Nicholas I of the former Imperial Russian Navy, with four shells in its company, and 2-1um shells hit its central superstructure, destroying the rear chimney and several nearby guns, and several lifeboats were also blown up. The most lethal were another 1-1omm shells and 121o shells, both of which pierced incendiary shells penetrated through the front shield of the gun-silhouette secondary gun.

The Iki is a veteran ship commissioned in 1891, and this 20-year-old former dreadnought has many holes in its design, such as its gun-silhouette secondary guns are separated by only an inch of iron plates, yes, iron plates are not steel plates, and the ammunition depots of the secondary guns on each side are still shared, and the defense is also very weak. The most important thing is that the ammunition depot of the secondary and main guns is close together, with only a 6-inch steel plate in the middle. This kind of design negligence will now cause strict consequences.

The two armor-piercing incendiary bombs destroyed the secondary cannon at the same time, and detonated the shells and projectiles piled up next to one of the secondary guns, and then the detonation of this pile of ammunition destroyed the partition of the ammunition depot, and the strong flames and high temperature violently invaded the ammunition depot, making the internal 15m secondary artillery shells produce a large-scale explosion.

I saw that the port side of the Iki violently spewed out a large cloud of scorching yellow-white flames, followed by a series of dense explosions, countless scrap iron and debris erupted like a volcanic eruption, and the hull of the Iki moved more than ten meters to the right. When the explosion was over, the port side of the Iki disappeared almost entirely, as if a piece had been bitten off by a giant beast.

The Japanese shells are now loaded with "Shimose gunpowder" (high explosives with picric acid as the main ingredient), this kind of shells have a series of amazing characteristics, the sensitivity of the first shells is extremely high, that is, the small ropes in the mission can be detonated, and after the explosion, it will not only form the shock wave and shell fragments like other explosives when the shells explode, but also accompanied by a fire with a core temperature of up to 1,000 degrees, which is claimed to ignite steel. The flames formed by this explosion of gunpowder will spread out and flow like gasoline on fire, and can continue to burn for a period of time, even in water. In addition, when a Shimose gunpowder shell made of picric acid explodes, a toxic yellow smoke appears.

This kind of "Shimose gunpowder" shells once made the Beiyang Navy Division and the Imperial Russian Navy suffer a lot, but this time it was replaced by themselves. The explosion of the ammunition depot was only the beginning, and the poisonous smoke and flames from the "Shimose gunpowder" made it impossible for the Japanese damage control personnel to work. And, in the explosion just now, the armor plate of the ammunition depot separating the secondary gun from the front main gun had been found damaged and a crack had been blown out. The flames flowed through these rifts and quickly invaded the main gun ammunition depot, quickly burning the inside of the main gun ammunition depot red.

At 6:06, because of a large amount of water on the port side, the somewhat inclined Iki suddenly made an earth-shattering loud noise, and the entire bridge and the front main gun turret flew up to a height of more than ten meters with a huge burst of flames, and the entire small part of the hull in front of the ship was blown into pieces.

Subsequently, under the watchful eyes of the officers and men of both sides, the old former dreadnought plunged headlong into the waves of the East China Sea.

And in this volley, Sagami was hit by another shell, and the armor-piercing incendiary shell from the Gonggong, after destroying a cannon, drilled into the coal bunker, exploded in the starboard coal bunker, and caused a fire.

Chinese artillery shells did not use picric acid, an overly sensitive explosive, and in fact, because of the unstable dìng of picric acid explosives, the navies of other powers except Japan did not use this high explosive. China chose a more stable explosive based on TnT, but because the TnTR spoon did not burn strongly, it added thermite to it. The hybrid explosive, which is unique in the world in this way, has a burning performance that surpasses that of Japan's Shimose gunpowder, but it is slightly inferior in the absence of toxic smoke.

When a red-hot thermite meets a good anthracite, it burns very powerfully. Moreover, thermite is very difficult to extinguish, and although the damage management personnel on the Sagami tried desperately to extinguish the fire, they also had little effect. And in the previous salvo, the port coal bunker of the Sagami suffered two 21o shells, which had already caused a fire on the port side, and now the starboard side was burning again.

Now the entire Sagami is like a blazing torch, and Shigetaro Yoshimatsu and the others, who have just arrived here, are dumbfounded, originally they planned to use this warship as a flagship, but now it's really hard to say whether there will be a problem. As a result, the hapless Lieutenant General Ji Song had no choice but to abandon his original plan and order the transport boat to sail towards the Zhoufang

It must be admitted that the Japanese Navy is indeed quite good, and although the Chinese fleet has a firm upper hand at the moment, they are still stubbornly fighting back. Because the Chinese fleet was still turning, its shooting was greatly reduced. At this time, the Japanese fleet seized the opportunity and fired three volleys at 6:6, 55, and 57 respectively.

During the fourth salvo, one of the 3 shells of the Sagami hit the stern of the Arisu, turned into the bathroom below deck and exploded. At the same time, the flag and a nearby deck were blown up, and the bathrooms below were completely destroyed. Fortunately, there were no people in these places at the time, and there were no casualties.

The fifth round missed, and during the sixth salvo, a shell from the Zhoufang hit the middle superstructure of the heavy cruiser Sipaishan, destroying the seaplane catapult, as well as a 4o-mm gun, killing 6 gunners.

However, the effective counterattack of the Japanese army also ended there.

At 6:06, the Chinese fleet completed the turn and occupied the T-shaped cross-head position. An eighth volley was immediately struck.

The blazing Sagami became the most striking target, hitting five shells directly, two of which hit the main gun in front of it, and one hit the turret seat, deforming and damaging its kinematics, and the entire turret was stuck. The latter pierced the frontal armor of the front main turret and exploded inside the turret, igniting the stored projectile and turning the entire turret into a flare.

The captain of the Sagami reacted quickly and hurriedly ordered the ammunition depot to be filled with water, which avoided a more severe explosion. The other three shells destroyed the first chimney, the rangefinder, and a secondary cannon of the Sagami.

At this time, because the Iki was about to sink, but it was not completely sunk, the three armored cruisers Asama, Tokiwa, and Aso had to turn slightly to the left in order to avoid a collision and try to change course to bypass it. At this moment, the Asama, which was in front, was set on fire by five ships: Houji, Suiren, Tiantianshan, Daiyunshan, and Huanggangshan.

The Asama was very unlucky to receive three 1O shells and four 21O shells. The Asama was only an armored cruiser, and its armor was far from being comparable to that of a battleship, and its main armor belt was only 17B mm at its thickest point and 8 mm at its thinnest point.

Most importantly, it was equipped with up to 14 15-gun silhouette secondary guns and 2 8-mm guns on its side guns. At first glance, it seems to have a lot of firepower. But let's not forget that it is only a 976-ton armored cruiser, and with so many guns, it will take up a lot of space and have a great negative impact on the defense. Moreover, these secondary guns are all poorly defended guns, and the 8mm guns even have only one front shield, not even a roof. At the same time, because the distance between the various gun emplacements and the ammunition depot is too close, once one is hit, it is easy to hit the fish in the pond, causing a series of explosions.

Once a warship of this structure appears on the battlefield, it is like a pile of explosives hanging from its waist through a hail of bullets. It's good not to be hit, but once you get hit, it's a table full of cutlery. Well, it's already a Japanese tradition to desperately pile up artillery on warships,

The Asama was unlucky because of this silly and naïve design. Of the seven shells that hit it, four hit its side gun, and two shells went into the ammunition depot of the gun.

As a result, a series of large explosions suddenly erupted from the starboard side of the Asama, and the broken human body and twisted steel components were thrown everywhere by the powerful shock wave. At the same time, the underwater part of its starboard side was torn open by the shock wave generated by the explosion of the ammunition depot.

And that's not all, 3 seconds later, the ammunition depot of the rear main gun was also detonated by the high temperature of the Shimose flame. I saw that the rear main gun of the Asama suddenly rose up a fifty-meter-high pillar of fire, and then with a loud bang, it became two.

At 6:59, the Japanese fleet also began to return fire, but at this time they were on the vertical line of the T-line and could only fire from the front main guns. However, the main gun in front of the Sagami at the head of the platoon was destroyed, the entire warship was surrounded by flames and smoke, and the sighting system lost its function and was no longer combat-effective. And the Zhou Fang was blocked by the Sagami, and he could only turn the front main gun to find the firing range like Chang Pan and Asu.

They were no longer able to fire a salvo from the battle line. Therefore, this round of counterattack only splashed a few water columns, which may have killed some fish and shrimp.

At this time, the Chinese fleet completed the ninth salvo.

At present, the most complete Zhoufang of the Japanese army has been fired by six battleships: Zhurong, Gonggong, Cangjie, Youchao, Houji, and Suiren, and the other six heavy cruisers have already set their targets on the remaining two armored cruisers, Joban and Aso.

The Zhou Fang received four -1omm shells in a row in this round. Lieutenant General Shigetaro Yoshimatsu, who survived several rounds of salvos from the main guns, and his good fortune came to an end. He had just moved to the command tower of the Zhou Fang, and it took less than ten seconds for the commander flag to be hoisted. The bridge of the Zhoufang was hit by 2-1omm shells, which hit the target almost simultaneously, broke through the armor at the same time, and turned into the bridge and exploded.

Shigetaro Yoshimatsu and the entire command group of the Third Fleet, who had just sat down, disappeared in a violent explosion, and there was not even a scum left.

The other two shells, one hit the gun frame on the side side, and after destroying a secondary gun, it rushed all the way into the boiler room and exploded, causing damage to four boilers. The other hit the underwater part of the Zhoufang ship, and after penetrating several layers of partitions, it exploded in the torpedo compartment, and several torpedoes stored in it were detonated by high-temperature thermite, and almost the entire ship was blown away, and countless seawater frantically poured in.

The two armored cruisers Tokiwa and Aso were no better. The same fate befell the Joban, the sister ship of the Asama, as three 21omm shells pierced through the front shield of the gun frame on the starboard side and exploded in the gun chamber. Tight gun emplacements and weak protection led to the consequences of being strict. In the detonation of the auxiliary artillery ammunition depot, numerous cracks were created in the underwater part of the Tokiwa, and a large amount of water was flooded. Moreover, in order to avoid detonating the main gun ammunition depot, the Tokiwa had to fill the main gun ammunition depot with water, and the guide zhì completely lost its combat effectiveness.

Aso only received one shell, but the shell hit its stern steering room at a strange angle, causing its steering gear to fail, unable to turn, and only circling around the sea.

This salvo completely knocked out the confidence of the Japanese fleet, plus the entire command system of the Third Fleet had been destroyed. The remaining ships will have to fight on their own.

Some of them wanted to turn in, some wanted to work hard, and suddenly they were in a mess.

A smile appeared on Zhang Minghui's face, and he said: "Okay, it's time to order the light cruisers and destroyers, as well as the first detachment of submarines, to launch a general attack...... Our battle line continued to turn right, went around to the port side of the Japanese battle line, and mended the rest of the guys......"

After a pause, he then ordered the communications staff officer: "Connect the Japanese channel and let them surrender......"

"Hahahaha, it's finally time for us to do it, pay attention to the boats, and assign the target ...... immediately" Han Fengyu, the captain of the detachment, who received the order from the flagship, jumped up all of a sudden.

The first detachment of the submarine just now, in order to avoid the search of the Japanese light ships, took refuge under the water, leaving only a communication buoy on the surface of the sea, which was only the size of a lunch box and had a camouflage color, which could not be seen at all in the storm. The Japanese ships had no experience in anti-submarine warfare, so they gave up after looking around and finding no abnormalities.

At this time, they had been waiting in the rear of the Japanese fleet for a long time, and the capital ships were fighting lively, and they could only keep aiming at the enemy ships, and they had been waiting for a long time.

“…… Attention to the boats, from the O11 boat to the O6 boat, aiming at Itsukushima, Hashidate, Akitsuzu, Izumi, Suma, and Akashi, each responsible for one, four thunder salvos. Then turn and use the tail shot tube to solve the remaining Chiyoda, Shinonome, Congyun, Yuki, Shiranui, Yangyan...... Okay, hands-on"

"Filling the torpedo tubes No. 1 to No. 4 with water...... Set a target number jù...... The torpedo was set to the highest ......," Captain Tong Guò's periscope stared at the protective cruiser Itsukushima, which was about B kilometers away.

"Shooting" With the captain's order, four "Yu-1" 6O-mm heavy anti-ship torpedoes burst out of the O11 submarine with four muffled sounds. Subsequently, they turned around again and fired the remaining two torpedoes with two tubes in the tail.

The three torpedoes fired by the six submarines rushed towards their respective targets at a maximum of 6 knots like deep-sea sharks......

Six minutes later, the captains of the light ships of the Japanese fleet in the rear were arguing about what to do next, and before they could make a decision, a series of dull explosions sounded in the queue.

I saw that the underwater connection of the four protective cruisers Itsukushima, Hashidate, Izumi, and Akashi burst out of the water column. The Itsukushima was torpedoed one end and one at the other, and the stern of the ship was blown away, and then slowly sank. The Hashitachi number was hit by two, and it was directly broken into three, and it sank in two minutes. The entire hull of the Izumi was blown up by three torpedoes and subsequently broke off from the middle. The stern of the Akashi was torpedoed by four torpedoes in one go, and the stern disappeared for more than 20 meters, and it sat down on the bottom of the sea.

"Torpedo, damn the Shina people, torpedo again"

"The Arichina submarine is nearby"

"Retreat, retreat......"

"Hurry up and search for ......"

The Japanese light ships were in a mess, they were about to search the vicinity, and the second wave of torpedoes arrived.

This time it was the Chiyoda and Akitsuzu that were unlucky, as well as several destroyers. Needless to say, those little destroyers, as long as they hit even one torpedo, they will only burp. The three ships of Dongyun, Congyun, and Xiwu each fell one after another, and they quickly capsized and sank. The Chiyoda and the Akitsuzu were also each hit, and where could these two old ships of the Sino-Japanese period withstand the 6o mm torpedoes, although they were not as dull as the destroyers, but they couldn't last long.

And at this time, Chinese light ships also rushed over. The Zhuhai-class destroyers and 17 "agile-class" large torpedo boats rushed forward at a height of 3 knots. Eight light cruisers followed in 2-2 knots.

At this time, the Japanese battle line had been completely wiped out, either sinking or completely losing its combat effectiveness. After the Chinese capital ships circled to the right side of the Japanese battle line, they fired several rounds of supplementary artillery bombardment. The Sagami and Zhou Fang, because the command system was completely wiped out, suffered heavy losses, completely lost their combat effectiveness, and were greatly reduced, and they could not even run away, so they had to raise the white flag and surrender.

The Aso, which had only been knocked out of the steering gear, was subjected to two more volleys, destroying all the main guns. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the captain had no choice but to commit suicide after ordering surrender.

At 6:33, when the last Japanese warship, the destroyer Shiranui, was turned into a pile of garbage by ships from all over the world, the Battle of Zhoushan finally came to an end.

In this battle, the Chinese Shanghai Provisional Task Force completely annihilated the Japanese Third Fleet at a very small cost and won a complete victory.

In this battle, the Chinese Navy sank four Japanese battleships Hizen, Tango, Iwami, and Iki, two armored cruisers Asama and Tokiwa, two coastal defense ships of Mijima and Okishima, Chiyoda, Itsukushima, Hashidate, Akitsuzu, Izumi, Suma, Akashi, and other protective cruisers, and 1 ship, including Yamahiko, Fumitsuki, Qinyue, Rai, Akebono, Hakumo, Shinonome, Congyun, Yuki, Shiranui, Shiranui, and Kasumi. Two battleships (Zhoufang, Sagami), one armored cruiser Hesu), three destroyers (Lian, Yangyan, Boyun), and auxiliary ships such as coal carriers were captured.

And itself was only a light damage of two battleships, a light damage of a heavy cruiser, a light damage of a light cruiser, a ship-fighting ship and a light damage of a torpedo boat.

The Japanese army participated in the battle with more than 1o2o officers and men, and a total of more than 756 naval officers and soldiers died, and only more than 2oo people surrendered in the end and were fished up by the Chinese fleet. The Chinese only lost 47 people and 2 were wounded in this battle, which can be described as a complete victory.

Wuhan, Presidential Palace.

"Hehe, Yu is good, this naval battle of Zhoushan can be described as a complete victory, I really didn't expect that our naval soldiers could defeat the Japanese army with such an advantage, I was already mentally prepared to lose half of the capital ships......" Wen Deji was overjoyed after receiving the report from the naval headquarters.

Xin Jie, chief of the General Staff, said: "But the naval battle of Zhoushan is only the beginning of the Sino-Japanese naval battle, and it depends on the duel between the main forces of the two sides." The battlefield is scheduled to be in the waters north of Taiwan, and the specific location should be in the area around the Diaoyu Islands......"

At this time, Gu Xiaolu took a telegram and reported: "Mr. Wen, just now there is an urgent telegram from Luzon, the US Pacific Fleet and the British Far East Fleet are facing off in the waters of Huangyan Island."

Wen Deji froze for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "Oh, the US Pacific Fleet and the British Far East Fleet are facing each other in the waters off Scarborough Shoal......?
