Spring thunder sounded and the flames blew into the face. A red flame was like a meteor falling in the sky, roaring in the sky, colliding with the hull of the Takachisui cruiser!

"Boom!" A dazzling and unbearable strong purple light suddenly burst out from the side of the hull of Gao Qiansui, as if a huge blood-colored red flower was blooming in the air. The air waves burst out, the steel armor was broken, and the metal melted into liquid by the explosion at high temperature, and the large and small irregular shrapnel danced circling and swept around, and then more than ten people fell in a pool of blood.

The flames were roaring, the sea of ​​fire rushed, and the blazing flames rushed up more than ten meters high, reflecting the nearby sea surface red. At this time, the right side of the cruiser "Gao Qiansui" had turned into a hell on earth: more than a dozen corpses fell across the deck, blood flowing, and broken limbs and broken bodies could be seen everywhere. On a 150-mm Krupp gun position in the middle, a piece of intestine hung obliquely on the twisted cannon barrel; the belly of the corpse next to it was broken, the brain was overflowing, and the lower body was nowhere to be found!

"Boom! Boom!" Several violent explosions came from the deck, and the hull of the Takachiho began to tremble in pain. In order to increase the firing rate of the artillery, the Japanese naval warships chose to pile up some ammunition next to the artillery. This certainly increased the firing speed of the artillery, but it also brought great safety hazards. Once the artillery part is hit, due to the active wave of the picolic acid nature, the shells filled with the Shirase explosive made of it will explode at the first time, and the consequences will be even more severe!

"Quick! Extinguish the fire!" Accompanied by the anxious roar of Nakamoto Sada Nomura, the Japanese sailors trembled and got up from the ground, activated the motor and the pumping valve, and fought fiercely with the fire with rubber hoses. The chewed flames of bitter and sourness are said to be able to "even steel can be ignited" and are extremely difficult to extinguish. After burning, a large amount of toxic gas will be produced. Before the war, the Japanese Navy was complacent and proud of its own shell loading, but now it is their turn to withstand this feeling.

Not long after, the report from the damage management department had already been reported: a 283mm flowering bullet (HE) hit the 150mm gun position on the starboard side of the Huo unit, leaving a shocking huge hole there. 18 officers and soldiers were killed on the spot, and nearly 10 others were seriously traumatized. Fortunately, the power system of the warship did not malfunction due to the violent vibration just now, and it could still drive at a speed of 14 knots without pressure. In order not to worry Hokuzo Tsui, Sadashi Nomura ordered the flag saying "Our ship is safe" to be raised on the signal cable, indicating that the "Takachiho" can still continue to fight.

"Learn from anal, Takachiho was hit, but they called the flag saying "Our ship is safe", and it seems that they can still fight with the flagship." Kawahara, the cruiser captain of the "Yoshino", whispered as soon as he walked to Kozo Tsukii.

Hiroji Tsukii pushed open the door and walked out of the commander's tower. Looking back, he saw that the "Takachisui" that followed closely, and the starboard side had turned into a vast ocean of flames. Under the red light, yellow-green smoke could be faintly seen lingering and squirting, and no matter how the water dragon rushes out of the rubber hose roars and sprays, it is difficult to suppress it.

"A part of Takachiho's ammunition exploded." Higai Yokozo retreated to the commander's tower and closed the thick iron gate. His words showed unconcealed anxiety. "I have seen the power of that thing. It can burn mountains and seas when it burns. It is terrifying! Damn Qing and Germans, they should all go to hell! Kawahara, how far is the Qing fleet from us?"

Kawahara wanted to pull a rope hanging from the ceiling next to it. After a moment, a voice came from the mast: "Report, the Qing fleet is only 3,200 meters away from us!"

"Okay!" Hirosan Tsukii slapped the table, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes, and he roared, "He is a Chinese pig, I have been hitting me for so long. Do you really think my Japanese Empire navy is made of mud? After passing the order, and close to 3,000 meters at the same distance, no matter how 'Laiyuan', the two cruisers in Jingyuan, concentrate their firepower to attack the two small warships on the far right wing of the Qing fleet!" He licked his lips bloodthirsty, his face full of cruel expression.

The distance of 200 meters is only about one minute. In front of the First Guerrilla Fleet, which consists entirely of new cruisers, are two warships located on the far right of the Beiyang Fleet, and are also the two oldest old ships of the Beiyang Navy on the battlefield.

"Super Yong" and "Yangwei" belong to the same class ship. They were constructed by the British Armstrong Company. The rear hull was partially subcontracted to the Mitchell Shipyard. The ship was 64 meters long, 9.75 meters wide, 4.57 meters draft, and a displacement of 1,350 tons. The power was 2 reciprocating steam engines, 6 round boilers, and a power of 2,600 horsepower. Although the hull was said to be made of all steel, it used a large number of wooden components inside. The two sisters who once attracted the attention of the world's navy have long been no longer young and have become the weakest battleship on the battlefield.

To this day, the conditions of the two warships "Super Yong" and "Yang Wei" have fallen to a shocking level: due to long-term high-intensity use, the machinery and equipment have been seriously aging, and the six boilers are on the verge of being scrapped; no matter how hard the sailors on the ship work to add coal to the boiler, the speed of the two warships is unwilling to exceed 6 knots, and in 1882 they could easily run to 15 knots! Although Ding Ruchang repeatedly proposed to the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau to replace the boilers for these two warships before the war, he did not take action for various reasons.

What's even more terrible is that the original design of these two warships was to quickly approach the opponent with high speed and to launch a collision angle tactic to defeat the enemy. In order to achieve high speed and heavy firepower, designer Lundoll drastically reduced the armor and tried his best to reduce the tonnage of the warship; the entire warship had only one inch (25.4 mm) and armor at the head and tail turret, as well as the pitiful 9.5 mm dome armor covering the ammunition depot and boiler cabin, hoping to reduce the chance of being shot through its low appearance. Losing the "super courage" and "super power" at high speed, the self-defense ability is also quite weak. The only thing that can be attacked is a single-mounted 26-diameter 254 mm main gun, as well as four 120 mm guns, which are equipped with the head and tail of the warship. Like the boiler, these guns have aged over time and their performance is not as good as before.

"Auntie, cum! (It's now, launch an attack on the enemy!"

At 12:55, as the captain Kawahara gave orders one by one, three 152mm cannons, four 120mm cannons and 11 47mm Hakikas heavy machine cannons began to spit out and pour out towards the target. These Japanese sailors were cruel and vicious. Although they were scared by the large-caliber heavy artillery of the "Kaiyuan" battleship, they were still holding a sense of resentment in their hearts. At this time, it was finally our turn to fire the artillery attack, and they immediately burst out with amazing combat power. For a moment, the shells roared out from the "Yoshino" as if they were not expensive, and the smoke rising from the rising smoke never dissipated; because the distance was very accurate, the hit rate of the cannons on the "Yoshino" can almost be described as amazing!

—————————————————————————

"Boom! Boom!" The light waves surging, and the aura flew everywhere. The "Super Yong" was hit by artillery fire one after another. The hull was shocked, and the crew exclaimed and screamed, with unbelievable shock on their faces!

Huang Jianxun was shocked and terrifying at this moment. Although before the war, Ding Ruchang had warned the Beiyang Navy in every way to be careful of the rapid-fire cannons commonly equipped by Japanese warships, he lacked an intuitive understanding of the power of rapid-fire cannons. After the Battle of Toshima, Huang Jianxun was quite disdainful of Fang Boqian's timid and vivid description of the Japanese Navy; Fang Boqian's timid character was no longer a secret among the top leaders of the Beiyang Navy. He said that the Japanese Navy was so terrible, that he must have been more ambitions and put on a fig leaf for his escape.

Today, more than a month later, when his warship was exposed to the storm of the Yoshino, Huang Jianxun discovered that what Fang Boqian said was true! What made him feel most heartbroken was that after the cannons on the Japanese warships fired, they started a new round of shooting in just over 10 seconds, with a rate of firing of more than 10 times that of the artillery of the same caliber of his warships! Under such dense firepower coverage, how long can his old ship last?

Before he could think about it, a loud "boom" sounded, and a fire broke out on the starboard deck. The flames danced wildly, and the heat waves were pressing. Several sailors avoided it, and their clothes suddenly caught fire. They screamed and jumped into the Yellow Sea. The white air steeped in, and they could no longer see anyone.

Seeing that the officers in the command tower looked at him with a confused look on their faces, Huang Jianxun's fear flashed and replaced by a surging fire of revenge, he suddenly shouted: "Why do you all do that expression? Are all the elders in your family dead? As soldiers of the Beiyang Navy, I am really ashamed of what you are now! The enemy is facing us, and we should fight bravely to create a bright blue sky for the country!"

Huang Jianxun is usually generous and chivalrous, and is generous. The sailors all admire their guards. At this moment, he heard his anger and scolding him, and his face was filled with a burning shame. The fear of death gradually turned into a tremendous anger towards the Japanese.

The artillery fire roared, and another ball of fire that was spitting out from the Chaoyong rose, crackling, reflected in Huang Jianxun's eyes, as if two red flames were burning: "A real man will die if he dies, but he wants to be vigorous and impressed. If he can sacrifice his life in the war to defend his country, let the people of our Chinese land be free from foreign aggression, what a blessing! If the warship unfortunately sank, I, Huang Jianxun, will definitely sink with the ship and bury the ocean together, and go to find his brothers in the Hall of Hell, and live a mediocre life!"

Everyone was excited and passionate, and they shouted: "I would like to obey the orders of the leaders and fight to the death with the Japanese warships!" The sounds rolled like thunder, and even suppressed the roar of artillery fire.

"Boom!" Accompanied by a shocking sound that shook the mountains and rivers, the two 254mm heavy artillery of the "Choyong" began to roar...
