() In this way, the only two remaining Russian battleships sailed towards Muroran Port at a high speed of 17.5 knots. There was no organized Beiyang Fleet in front of them, and all they could encounter were torpedo boats and camouflaged reporting ships!

At this time, Essen no longer had to hide his whereabouts.

Ignoring all obstacles, as long as it is not an enemy in front of them, Essen is too lazy to deal with it! Of course, if the opponent insists on blocking the car, Essen does not mind using the most powerful blow to destroy the opponent! Don't hinder an army to get back.

The army of the family! And Essen’s behavior fully proves this!

Several Japanese torpedo boats launched lightning strikes against the Russian fleet approaching at high speed, but without the cover of the battleships, the lack of number of torpedo boats faced the two battleships with powerful firepower. Facing the two battleships with powerful firepower, they were like moths throwing fire. Facing rapid fire cannons

The torpedo boats involved in the attack even

The torpedoes didn't even have a chance to be fired before they were turned into fireballs and disappeared on the sea a few minutes later. However, the sacrifice of these Japanese torpedo boats was somewhat effective. For example, the telegram they sent before they sank at least let Beiyang know.

The location of the Essen fleet.

"Sir, Essen's fleet has broken through the outer blockade and is evacuating towards Muroran Port." The telegraph officer handed a "" telegram to Lin Taizen.

"Bring me the chart." Lin Taizeng ordered. Then he compared the large-scale chart and the movements of the Russian fleet. After thinking for a moment, Lin Taizeng finally understood the Russians' purpose! Makanov was just a decoy.

, to lure the Beiyang Fleet out of its original position and create opportunities for Essen to evacuate. Makanov had no intention of fighting the Beiyang Fleet head-on, he was just trying to contain it.

"The current situation is not good." Lin Taizeng said with a frown. Deng Shichang's fleet was about to engage in battle with Makanov. And another two-ship formation was sailing towards Makanov's fleet. Lin Taizeng said

It can be concluded that once Deng Shichang's fleet and Makanov's fleet meet, the latter will definitely choose to evacuate despite the opponent's bombardment, because once two more ships are added to patrol, Makanov may not be able to escape!

As for Essen, the last two-ship formation is a bit far away. The only one close to Essen is the Taipei. "Why does the Essen fleet only have two ships?" Lin Taizeng suddenly discovered Essen's

The fleet is missing two battleships.

"Perhaps they went to a neutral country's colony? If they are still together, Russia..." "It is impossible for the Chinese to break out separately. Otherwise, they will be slowed down by the slow warships," an officer said.

"If this is the case, we can still collide with these two battleships." Lin Taizeng took a deep breath. He made a lot of determination before deciding to fight one against two! After all, the Essen fleet's combat effectiveness has been greatly improved after successive bloody battles.

It was greatly reduced, and more importantly, he only had to hold on until friendly forces arrived and hold off his opponent. Therefore, Lin Tai once sent a message to Cheng Biguang and led the fleet towards the Russian fleet.

The maximum speed of the Essen fleet was only about 17.5 knots. However, Lin Taizeng's Taipei ran more than 20.5 knots under forced ventilation! In addition, Lin Taizeng was intercepting, so it didn't take Lin Taizeng long to find out.

The Essen fleet was trying to escape. The war was about to break out.

"Damn it, even a King-class ship dares to come up." Looking at the Taipei getting closer and closer behind him, Essen cursed. If his fleet was in good condition, Essen promised to beat the guy behind and let it shoot.

You can't run away! But now, obviously you can't do this. Outside Muroran Port, staying for one more second is one step closer to death!

Lin Taizeng Nor" Chapter 472 of the New History of China during the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War

"Chasing" dares to fight head-on with the opponent. To engage in a regular side-gun battle with the opponent is obviously asking for trouble. No matter how weak you are, it is still no problem for two warships to sweep your deck with their secondary guns. As for hanging far behind

It is obviously not possible to hit, even in high-speed pursuit. The low firing volume and low hit rate are simply unable to deal with the well-protected Russian

The battleship caused fatal damage. More importantly, it could not slow down the opponent. Therefore, Lin Taizeng did not pursue directly but chose to cut the route of the Russian fleet, forcing the opponent to turn. If the Russians did not turn, they could only use forward firepower to deal with the Taipei.

If the sideline firepower is diverted, Lin Taizeng will gain the most precious resource and time!

"Asshole, that König wants to cut into our route!" A Russian officer cursed in a low voice.

"Turn half a mile to the left and let our cannon tell this arrogant guy." Essen ordered. It is obviously impossible to go around, let alone whether it is useful for the Taipei, which has the speed advantage, even if it goes around

After that, he also wasted a lot of time. The Beiyang Fleet has discovered him, so the remaining warships are coming soon? So Essen can't wait, he can only charge hard!

The two Russian warships revealed dense side-string secondary battery arrays. If the side-string gun arrays were compared to the teeth of a shark, the sharks that were once full of sharp teeth would be destroyed after repeated fierce battles.

The sharp teeth in the mouth have already fallen out. In addition,

Most of them are small and medium-caliber guns. The large-caliber guns were either destroyed during the battle, or the ammunition reserves were insufficient. They were unable to fully exert their firepower. Therefore, despite the menacing momentum of the two Russian warships, they were actually both fierce and powerful, and their combat effectiveness was already very high.

Weak!

"Concentrate firepower to attack the Russia behind the film. The armor protection of the Prince is too strong, so it is difficult for us to hurt it." Lin Tai once ordered after carefully observing the situation of the two Russian warships. He wanted to keep one of his ships.

It is obviously impossible to have two ships. In this case, attack the one that is easiest to leave behind.

Accompanied by the roar of artillery, the sound of artillery that had stopped for less than 3 hours once again resounded through the waters off Muroran Port. Because both sides were moving at high speed and heading toward each other, the speed and azimuth angle changed rapidly. This

This caused difficulties in ranging and lateral direction. I saw the rapid fire cannons on the three warships firing non-stop, but very few hit them. This situation did not change until the two sides approached 3km!

During the battle, the Taipei constantly adjusted its speed so that the opponent's route was always in front of itself. For this reason, the Russian fleet also adjusted its direction in order to avoid the Taipei, turning 1 compass to the right.

After the point, the Prince avoided the Taipei's main gun range, while the Russia was targeted!

"Turn, stay parallel to the Russia, get close to it and sink it! Lin Taizeng ordered. At this moment, Lin Taizeng captured the fighter plane, which could avoid the brutal firepower of the Prince and at the same time attack it at close range.

Attack Russia in rear guard

, and the Russia's rear main gun has been scrapped, and the only remaining gun has been greatly reduced in precision due to vibration problems. As a result, Lin Taizeng only faced two main guns and several auxiliary guns.

The gun is fired! It has formed a relative advantage in the battle!
Chapter completed!
