The Rise of the Empire

　　 "Yoshino is over!" The violent vibration directly threw Togo Heihachiro from the floor. When he fell to the floor, he could feel the battleship tilting rapidly, and it might capsize in a few minutes! "This is already the second battleship, I'm really a catastrophe!" Dongxiang said mockingly.

And just when Togo Heihachiro was considering whether to learn from the death of certain predecessors and the warships, the Japanese fleet also achieved a record during this period. Under the attack of the two cruisers Takasago and Akashi, the Jingyuan also came. The end of life! The personnel on board suffered heavy losses. All the artillery above the medium caliber was lost, and the fire could not be contained. When the Yoshino was sunk, all Jingyuan could do was evacuate the station line and ran aground.

　　 After a fierce fight, Yang Yonglin's fleet finally equalized the situation! The Kaiyuan and Zhiyuan battled against the three cruisers Kasuga, Takasago and Akashi. They were at least five to five in a short period of time. After a long time, it is estimated to be five to five. The combat effectiveness of the Zhiyuan is greatly reduced. The Kasuga is not without losses! Both sides realized at the same time that it is difficult to eliminate the opponent before the ammunition and manpower are exhausted!

　　 Both fleets have reached a point of exhaustion, not only the fast fleet is like this, but the battle between the main fleets has also entered garbage time! However, in the battle with the fast fleet, the Beiyang gradually tied the disadvantages. The main difference is that the Beiyang fleet changed from an advantage to a tie.

　　It's not that the Beiyang Fleet did not play well, but as time went on, the three battleships of Matsushima, Takachiho, and Chiyoda rejoined the battlefield after completing their self-rescue, leaving the remaining 5 battleships of the Beiyang Fleet at a disadvantage gradually! No way, the number gap is too big!

　　 Hirato could not hold on at first. This warship, which was previously taken care of by the Japanese fast fleet, soon sank under the attack of the Matsushima and Hiei. At this time, Japan had already lost two battleships Fuso and Kaohsiung. The situation at this time is that the two iron-clad ships of Beiyang Dingzhen bring Heiyuan and Jingyuan against the 6 battleships of Japan's Matsushima, Takachiho, Chiyoda, Kongo, Hiei, and Chikushi, and a bunch of torpedo boats!

　　 The two iron-clad ships in Dingzhen are indeed powerful, and the Beiyang Fleet with these two warships as the core fully resisted the siege of the remaining Japanese fleet. Historically, the Japanese fleet did not solve these two warships in the final stage of the Yellow Sea battle. In this plane, the Japanese fleet has no way to settle down after the enhanced firepower. It is difficult for the Japanese fleet to be completely settled by a simple rapid-fire gun. Destroyed, and the torpedo attack was resolved by two cruisers again and again.

However, the most important thing is to protect itself. The few 120MM rapid-fire guns that lack protection have lost more than half of the battle as the battle continues, and the disadvantage of speed also makes it can only repel the opponent but cannot expand its advantage. After the fierce fighting, the Beiyang Fleet was on the defensive. And the Japanese cruisers in the distance are like wolves ready to come up and tear a piece of meat!

The speed advantage of the three Japanese fast cruisers gave them the right to choose to fight, and it was a bit painful to fix the location of the main guns of the two ships. This gave the other party a chance to ask the Japanese. A Japanese fast cruiser went around behind and covered the fixed rear gun positions with dense high-explosive shells.

　　 In order to cover the two most powerful warships in the Beiyang Fleet, the Jingyuan bravely stood between Dingzhen and the Japanese fleet! High-explosive bombs poured down like raindrops, and the scarred Jing traveled far in the flame storm, using his body to cover the friendly forces.

"Attack Hiei!" As the situation gradually tilted towards the Japanese fleet, a 305MM shell from Zhenyuan hit the Hiei which was a little closer, and a huge fireball rose from the middle of the hull, raging flames. The storm mixed with shrapnel completely swept away the roots of the entire boiler! The flames then poured back into the boiler compartment along with the gun smoke, causing several boilers to go out, and Hiei, who was still alive a minute ago, immediately became a dead fish floating on the sea!

　　 Once a warship of more than 2,000 tons loses its mobility, it will only be a matter of time before the battle sinks! Facing the approaching battleship, this battleship cannot even move! At a distance of several hundred meters, the already uncontrollable sidestring of Hiei faced the mighty 305MM artillery. The Japanese above even jumped into the sea in despair. After the final rounds of shooting, there was a violent explosion. Several huge breaches in the waterline of the hull made the warship sink within a few minutes.

　　 And this almost 1 for 1 fight did not end the battle on this battlefield! When Hiei disappeared from the sea, the Japanese fleet launched the final wave of attacks! More than ten various torpedo boats began to attack from all directions. The Jingyuan, which had been hit by three Japanese cruisers with concentrated fire for more than 20 minutes, also slowly sank into the water. When the Japanese lightning strike force launched the attack, Beiyang The team only has 3 warships! And the only cruiser was also scarred!

　　 The two iron-clad ships in Dingzhen rushed out of the encirclement like angry behemoths, and the torpedo boats of the Beiyang Fleet also rushed up to intercept them. These small warships used machine guns and rapid-fire cannons to fight hard at 1,000 meters or even 500 meters away! Torpedoes and artillery shells flying in the air are woven into a fire net in the sea and the air! From time to time, there is a torpedo boat torn to pieces by violent flames~www.readwn.com~ Although the Beiyang Fleet tried to block the opponent’s torpedo boats, with the fire support of the Japanese cruiser fleet’s overwhelming new superiority, some torpedo boats always approached the target. The Eagle Torpedo Boat is the torpedo boat with the best performance, fastest speed and largest tonnage in the Japanese Navy! After destroying the torpedo boat No. 1 from the left of the Beiyang Fleet, the torpedo boat finally approached the heavily damaged Pingyuan and fired 2 torpedoes from a position of 500 meters!

　　 With a loud noise, Pingyuan finally ended his fighting career! This cruiser, which was only more than 2,000 tons, was sold half aft by a powerful torpedo. Then it sank to the bottom of the sea, but Kitty Hawk also didn’t ask for Death’s sickle. When it turned to prepare to evacuate, a 150MM shell from Dingyuan destroyed his steam engine, and then, a 305MM shell from Zhenyuan seemed heavy. The hammer usually smashed the assassin in half!

The Japanese fleet also planned to intercept, but when Dingyuan stuffed a 305MM shell into the side of the Chiyoda and left a deep scar, all the Japanese warships realized that this behemoth was exhausted. , But still scary! After the torpedo boats used almost all the torpedoes, the remaining Japanese warships could not do anything to them!

　　As in history, the Japanese finally decided to retreat. After the opening of the 14 various warships, only 8 were left and 6 were sunk! The Beiyang Fleet is even worse in terms of numbers! Only 4 returned after 12 battleships! The remaining 8 ships were sunk!

　　 The second is more~~~. The data collected yesterday is very good, the author is very pleased, if today's data can be better than yesterday, the author will watch three tomorrow!
