Chapter 189 We won!

-In the aisle of the Antarctic Star bulkhead, Cao Jie frantically pushed away his partner, and the members of the artillery team behind him also ran forward desperately. When he passed through a narrow hatch and boarded the deck, the scene in front of him suddenly made him open his mouth wide and trembled all over!

The fleet in a row gradually formed parallel to the Russian [***] ship. The fire dragons on the side of the North Star in front flew, and a group of sparks exploded from somewhere. When the dense rain of bullets kept hitting the enemy ship passing by, the fire on its own ship was also everywhere.

The shells kept shuttling between the two fleets, and countless black spots in the pupils were leaping out of the exploded fire, and then disappeared into the other party's hull, leaving only faint shadows.

Firelight, explosion, gunpowder smoke and flying blood, Cao Jie only felt the blood rushing straight to his head. This is the real artillery battle!

It's so enjoyable!

With a loud shout, he quickly rushed to the 37mm double installed cannon he was responsible for. While Cao Jie quickly sat in the position of the gunner, the deputy gunner also began to turn the handle desperately and began to adjust the direction of the muzzle.

It is reasonable to say that in this kind of artillery battle, Cao Jie's artillery group will generally act as a supplement, hide behind the thick armor, and be ready to replace the injured main and secondary artillery groups at any time, because their 37mm double-line guns are too small to play a role at this moment.

But now it's different. The captain issued an order for everyone to enter the station, because the fiercest gun battle is about to be launched!

Cao Jie knows that entering the gun position at this time does not mean that the fleet is at a disadvantage. It requires small-caliber rapid-fire guns to resist desperately, nor does it mean that the captain thinks that he can penetrate the opponent's armor, because it is necessary for these little guys with extremely fast rate of fire to prevent the enemy ship from firing torpedoes, protect the side of the ship, and destroy that. Some guys who may be messing around!

Cao Jie's gun group has a total of six people. In addition to him and the deputy gunner, there are also two fillers and two losers in the ammunition depot under the gun seat. The gun seat is located behind the front bridge, which is different from the large-caliber gun one by one shot. The five consecutive magazines used by the machine gun can be stuffed in can be fired five times at a time, and the two guns add up to every minute. It can shoot more than 50 shells, like splashing water.

After many actual combat and improvements, the current machine gun is perfect in Cao Jie's eyes, but he heard that those guys in the equipment department seem to be not satisfied. They are doing something called bullet chain filling, which can not only reduce the members of the gun group, but also be said that the rapid fire can be increased several times!

Cao Jie didn't know what the concept was, but the shouting of the deputy gunner made him wake up immediately. He immediately stared at the cross iron circle in front of him and pressed the muzzle on the intersection in the middle.

Following the roar of the secondary cannons below, a ball of fire suddenly burst into front of Cao Jie's eyes. There was no need to aim at a distance of 2,000 meters at all. The gunners only needed to keep stuffing the shells into the gun, and then fire at the big guys who staggered by.

Suddenly, a shell exploded behind Cao Jie's gun group. The gun group quickly lowered its head and hid in the baffle only 20 mm thick. Because the explosion was very close, everyone thought it was going to hang up this time, but they didn't expect that just by feeling the heat on the body, the power of the shell dissipated. The dog is a Russian!" The filler on the left stood up again to press the magazine, and the curse provoked everyone to laugh. Cao Jie also laughed and continued to widen his eyes for fear of missing the torpedo in the smoke.

But soon, the main gun that fired again avenged Cao Jie and others. After hearing a huge roar, the middle of the Russian ship opposite suddenly exploded. After the fire, more than a dozen Russians in the gun could not even see the slag, and the armor in the middle of the ship was torn apart. Cracks.

The gun team shouted excitedly, but it was a pity that the passing time was only a minute. Otherwise, Cao Jie believed that his main gun could completely tear up the other party!

The first one passed, but the second one came soon. The two formations staggered by, even if they were kept in the thirteenth section, it was very fast. While Cao Jie turned the muzzle forward, the corners of his eyes were suddenly attracted by a big black hole!

No, that's not a hole. It's an unclosed hatch on the bridge!

Grandma! !

As a navigation center, the bridge is protected in the superstructure second only to the command tower, and the portholes are narrow, and the distance of 2,000 meters is not much larger than dried tofu, which is difficult to get in.

So once the hatch is closed, unless it is more than 152 mm, everything else is difficult to bite, but what do you see? These Russians forgot to close the hatch!

With almost no hesitation, Cao Jie shouted at the deputy gunner, who also had blood-red eyes. He quickly turned the handle to transfer the muzzle and aimed at the dark hatch hole. When he saw the hatch pressed into the cross star, he suddenly pulled the bolt and pulled the trigger.

The two tongues of fire sprayed almost without stopping. The fillers didn't care whether they had hit or not. They only lowered their heads and took the magazine from the loser behind them, pressed the cannonball and continued to turn around and repeat. In just a minute of rubbing the shoulder, Cao Jie didn't know how many shells he had shot, and he could only see from his seat. A spark burst out on the wall of the hatch.

It was not until the huge battleship staggered and lost the shooting angle that he let go of the trigger and aimed at the sea again. Cao Jie and his artillery team did not know that the battleship was the third Sinop, and they did not know the consequences of their shooting.

Countless fragments of shells swept and scattered in the bridge of Sinop. Almost in an instant, more than a dozen officers in the bridge, including the captain, were killed. At this time, the others of Sinop did not even know that the warship had lost its command.

After more than ten minutes of rubbing shoulders, dense shells shuttled between warships, especially the 152mm secondary gun of four 45kg armor-piercing shells per minute in the Pacific military equipment, was simply the nemesis of the Russian [***] ship. In just a few minutes, I saw countless fireballs bursting on the side of the Russian ship.

By the time the Russian main formation finally crossed the death zone, they were already on fire. Compared with the long-tested old gunners of the Pacific Army, the Russian gunners were obviously not used to this kind of close-range bayonet, and many people even closed their eyes when firing.

More importantly, almost none of Russian warships had turret protection, and the open turrets almost became a nightmare for the gunners. Countless shrapnel swept away and cut through the middle of their bodies. The broken limbs and arms were scattered on the deck, and blood converged into small rivers along the deck and rolled into the sea.

When the Russian formation left the range, the leading Russian ships Duke of Edinburgh and the Imperial Guard superstructure were like being gnawed by dogs. The ship was full of flames, and the large black holes exploded inward from the surface of the hull, almost losing combat effectiveness.

And Chesma and Sinop are not as good as that. Although the conzzle was not penetrated, the front main gun completely lost its function. Although there were two double main guns behind, they were also seriously injured under the key care of the secondary guns of the Pacific Fleet.

As for the Sinop, it is even worse. The bridge has even ignited a raging fire. After losing the command of the bridge, although the warship can still remain in the formation, the gun positions have completely lost their command.

Similarly, the Pacific Fleet also suffered a lot of losses, especially the heavy patrols that lacked heavy armor protection. There were flames on the deck, and a large number of bullet holes appeared on the sideboard side of the battle. However, there was indeed a problem with the Russian shells, and the explosion was even less powerful than half of the standard shells of the Pacific Fleet.

"The Courage is on fire."

Hearing Tan Xiaozeng's words, Long Guozhang, who was checking the situation of the Russian ship, suddenly picked up and quickly turned the telescope. In the lens, there was thick smoke in the middle of the Spirit, and the position of the front main gun had blown up a big hole, which seemed to be unusable.

Fortunately, the hull looks complete and has no water. As long as the fire can be controlled, it should not be a big problem.

"Order the Spirit to leave the formation, the Tenacious to block the Russian light patrol behind, and the rest of the ships to chase with the flagship, driving the formation to block them!" Looking at the Russian fleet still rushing forward and preparing to escape, Long Guozhang looked at the Spirit again and decisively gave the order to pursue.

At eleven o'clock, the Pacific Fleet was divided.

Tenacious and Tenacious took the lead in leaving the formation, facing the last two Russian light patrols and three destroyers. At the same time, Courage took the lead in leaving the formation and tried their best to put out the fire.

At the same time, the remaining four battleships and the determination heavily patrol drew a huge arc on the sea and chased after the Russian Far East Fleet, which was still ready to escape.

In the face of the interception of two heavy patrols, the Russian light patrols and destroyers, which had long been scared by the artillery bombardment in front, were scattered and ready to use their speed to escape. At this time, the herring and cod, which had been monitoring the Russian ships here, finally came up and joined the battle circle.

In the face of two heavy patrols whose tonnage and firepower are much better than their own, the first unlucky is the robber. This protective cruiser of more than 2,000 tons originally wanted to use its speed to cross the tenacious to catch up with the main fleet, but it was hit by a 203mm main gun. The shell directly penetrated the rear deck and drilled into the ammunition depot. The big explosion tore up the hull, and the sea suddenly poured into the hull. In just a few minutes, it sank to the bottom of the sea, becoming the first victim in the naval battle.

The violent explosion in the rear attracted Witheft's attention. Looking at the fire on the stern of the USS Robber and the soldiers who jumped into the sea crazily on the deck, they shuddered all over.

What made him more nervous was that at this time, the five capital ships of the Pacific Fleet had completed their turn, and the waves of the bow showed that they were chasing at full speed!

"These damn things, order Peter the Great, the Kremlin and the Admiral Nasimov to block them and win time for the main retreat!" Witkhft shouted with a red face, but the order made the staff and adjutant behind him dumbfounded.

Although all three warships can barely keep up with the formation, they have basically lost their combat effectiveness and let them intercept. Isn't this killing?!

"Why don't you go? Do you all want to die here!"

Seeing that his men were in a daze, Witthft became more angry. He pointed to the blue veins on the foreheads of the adjutant and staff officers, and immediately scared everyone to convey the order. At this time, they all knew that the commander of the Far East Fleet had been scared and his mind was full of how to escape.

On the Polaris, Tan Xiaozeng smiled and said, "The Russians are not ready to fight."

"Well, I want to run away with three broken ships?" Long Guozhang's eyes were slightly cold and ordered, "Let Xiao Tianzhi block them for me." -

Looking at the three warships that turned to meet the enemy, the Russian [***] officials were silent. Everyone knew that they were almost dying, but in the face of the angry commander and the lingering bombardment just now, none of them could think of any other way to stop the approaching Pacific Fleet.

The sound of fierce gunfire sounded again. Although the Pacific Fleet needed to complete the turn first, it still caught up quickly by relying on its average speed of three knots per hour. Now it depends on how long the three broken warships can withstand it.

Just when everyone was anxious, two huge flames suddenly exploded from the stern of the Kremlin. The heavy cruiser, which had been half turned because the bow had entered the water, was like being thrown into a sea of fire. The violent explosion caused the stern of the ship with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons to break directly, and the sea swarmed in and soon on the surface of the sea. He turned around and completely lost his combat effectiveness.

"Damn it! Hurry up! Acceleration!"

This scene made Witheft more nervous and kept urging the flight to accelerate. At the same time, he also hoped that the remaining two warships could drag the pace of the Pacific Fleet.

But he didn't expect that another scene made him more eye-catching. After seeing the Kremlin smashed, the heavily injured Admiral Nasimov immediately hung a white flag and withdrew from the battle!

Witkhft was stunned. He didn't expect that the captain of the Admiral Nasimov would fly a white flag to withdraw from the battle. When a pair of congested eyes stared at the approaching Pacific Fleet, he cursed the timid Captain Nasimov crazily.

before he woke up, another shout made him tremble all over.

"Report, four warships were found ahead!"

Due to the general low speed of Russian [***] ships, even heavy patrols are only 17 knots, which is not the opponent of the Pacific Fleet at all. Although in theory, when the two Catherine II-class battleships escaped, they could still keep two double 305mm main guns fired at the rear, the previous body gun battle had reduced the speed of the two ships to 12 knots, so Witkhft had to sacrifice three ships.

But I didn't expect that Peter the Great was hit and exploded in just a few minutes. After receiving it, Admiral Nasimov raised a white flag and lost the face of the Slavic warriors. Now four warships of the Pacific Fleet appeared in front of him. This series of changes made him completely at a loss and could only look at the distance. Four small warships flying the blood cloud dragon claw flag are getting closer and closer--

Jiang Dao stood in the bridge and listened to the sound of gunfire in the distance. The gun seat on the deck was already full of fully equipped officers and soldiers. They raised their ears, but their eyes were fixed on the mast of the leader's patrol in the distance.

Swordfish, although it is only a small destroyer in the formation of the Pacific Fleet, no one dares to despise it, because it is a meritorious ship. It was in the limelight in the last naval battle against Japan, and even the captain of the battleship of Sirius went out of this destroyer!

As Fang Jin became the captain of the battleship envied by everyone, most of the original veterans followed him to leave, but even if the rest are some recruits, Jiang Dao is still confident to take over and continue the prestige of this meritorious ship!

The gunfire in the distance was getting denser and denser. Jiang Dao gasped hard in his nose. He just pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and was ready to breathe. The corners of his eyes flashed red and suddenly looked up. He saw that the observation sentry on the mast of the Sky Survey was waving the red flag desperately!

"Let's go, at full speed, prepare each cannon, prepare the torpedo!"

Almost saw the red flag waving, Jiang Dao threw away the usual precious cigarettes, rushed to the captain's seat and shouted, and raised the telescope at the same time.

Because they have been swimming on the edge, and the pressure of the boiler has never been reduced, the four warships reached the highest speed almost instantly and rushed to the sound of gunfire at sea level.

I saw black smoke!

See the fire!

Russian battleship!

Fuck, they want to run!

As the fierceness got closer and closer, Jiang Dao kept shouting in his heart. Looking at the fire that kept rising in the smoke in the distance, he shuddered!

"Left rudder 15 degrees, keep up with the Sky Survey!"

Jiang Dao commanded the captain and asked him to follow the patrol, and his eyes clenched the large Russian armored cruiser running in front. The shell exploded around, and the water column rose from the side of the ship, but it seemed that it could not stop the pace of the patrol.

Seeing that it was about to rush to the front of the Russian formation, the observation post on the Sky Survey mast suddenly raised two flags and crossed, which was a signal of attack!

With the signal, the leading cruiser suddenly turned, and the bow was rapidly deflected, and the hull began to tilt violently, and even a propeller in the tail was half exposed!

followed by the Swordfish, the Sea Patrol and the Sailfish!

"Left full rudder, No. 1 and No. 2 torpedo launch!"

When the four warships were about to rush into the Russian formation, they suddenly drew a huge arc in front of the other side. In the tilted hull, Jiang Dao grabbed the handrail beside him to keep his body stable and shouted.

The sharp turn produced a huge habitual surname. The two torpedoes on the sideboard, which had been on standby, were like thrown darts, suddenly drilled into the water, and the gas burned violently to drive the small propeller in the tail to turn rapidly.

Four warships and twelve torpedoes were thrown out at the same time! Like twelve arrows out of string, twelve white tails slid out of the sea, and once fanned and rushed to the front armored cruiser.

This is the latest torpedo tactic of the Pacific Army!

"Russians, try Grandpa's torpedo!" With the end of the sharp turn, the hull gradually regained its balance, a torpedo launcher immediately let go of the armrest, rushed to the side of the ship, stared at the white tail, and suddenly raised his hands and shouted. The sound caused a burst of laughter from the left and right gunners. At the same time, it also brought the order of Captain Jiang Dao.

"Fire!" ——

Boom...

Boom...

A regiment of gunfire spewed out the muzzle, and columns of water rose from around the Russian fleet. Although the largest caliber naval gun in the patrol was only a 150mm naval gun, the Russian fleet, which had already been scared out, suddenly messed up.

"Fire, fire!"

The explosion, the water column and the rapid white tail woke up Witheft, pointed to the four small warships approaching quickly and shouted, "Order the cruisers and torpedo ships to stop them!"

"Report, cruisers and torpedoes did not follow!"

"What!"

At this time, Witthofft understood why the Pacific Fleet would exclude two precious capital ships to intercept the small warships he had dragged. Without more fast and more flexible small warships, he could only watch each other getting closer and closer.

Although the order was issued to fire, because it was the bow to the enemy, and the previous wiping gun hit the front main guns of each ship were damaged. Even if some were intact, it was also impossible to fire because the gun group was exposed.

After Witkhft gave the order, only the better-presed Chesma and the Imperial Guard each fired two shells, and the rest of the ships failed to fire.

Looking at the shells that fell far away, Witthft was a little desperate. He pointed to the twelve quickly approaching tails and forgot to give the order.

"Left rudder, avoid torpedoes!"

Captain of the Duke of Edinburgh rushing to the front was the first torpedo. The twelve white tails had already scared him into a cold sweat. He shouted nervously. The rudder turned quickly, and the bow began to shift little by little.

The deck under the bridge became a hornet's nest. There were sailors running around like headless flies everywhere. They widened their eyes and watched the torpedo getting closer and closer. Everyone was nervously sweating all over and their spines were cold.

One, two, three, four...

When a torpedo passed by the ship's body, the sailors began to be secretly happy. Seeing that the ship was about to completely avoid the torpedo attack, a shout suddenly came from the direction of the stern of the ship. Several naval guns fired desperately at the same time, but the slow rate of fire could not deal with the fast approaching fish.

Everyone saw that in front of the white track, a dark torpedo suddenly crashed into the stern of the ship, and the explosion exploded underwater. The powerful shock wave, the stern of nearly 10,000 tons of warship, moved dozens of meters, and the violent vibration directly involved several sailors who did not stand firmly into the sea.

When the smoke of the explosion dissipated, the sailors found that the stern had broken a large hole of a few meters, and the sea began to pour back. In just a few seconds, the warship seemed to have become an old man carrying heavy objects, staggering.

The captain of the Duke of Edinburgh immediately ordered to plug the loophole, and at the same time continued to turn the rudder to avoid the formation behind, but no one expected that when two partners crossed it and continued to sail forward, the Sinop in the line behind seemed to be crazy and hit the stern of the Duke of Edinburgh, which was turning.

The huge impact was accompanied by the sore sound of steel friction, which made the stern of the Duke of Edinburgh turn directly on the sea. This scene immediately stunned Witheft. He stared at the deformed bow of the Sinop and the still burning bridge, and looked at the Duke of Edinburgh completely The shattered stern suddenly fell on the deck of the conning tower.

This sudden impact was unexpected by everyone, and Long Guozhang did not expect it. Looking at the completely disrupted Russian formation, he was also slightly stunned, but he soon knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Immediately shouted, "Disband the formation, and the ships will attack freely."

"Kill in!"

After disbanding the formation, the ships seemed to be out of their rein, and the faster determination rushed out of the formation first and rushed to the nearest Peter the Emperor.

How could the long-time beaten sieve-like Peter the Great be the opponent of the Resolution? In addition, Liu Haitao made great contributions and went straight to the kilometer before ordering the main gun to snihalve. At such a close distance, there was almost no need to aim, and several 203mm shells penetrated into the body of Peter the Peter the Great at the same time.

Although the 203mm armor-piercing shell was only filled with 15 kilograms of explosives, the swept shrapnel still opened four large holes directly in the hull of the ship, especially the one near the water, which not only tore a two-meter-diameter hole, but also directly declared the death penalty of Peter the Great.

The sea was madly injected into the broken hull, forming a huge whirlpool in front of the big hole. After a while, the body of Peter the Great struggled a few times and began to tilt a little.

But Liu Haitao didn't seem to be satisfied. He waited until the main gun fired another round of s volley and opened a few big holes in the opponent's hull again before patted his buttocks and rushed to the chaotic regiment in front of him.

At 11:45, the Peter the Great sank.

At the same time, under the crazy interception of the other party's four small warships, the formation was disrupted by the impact, and the speed was not as fast as the other party, Witheft sat under the deck and gave his final order to fight.

At this time, the Antarctic Star led by Ji Rushan and the Sirius led by Fang Jin also surpassed the Russian formation for the first time, completely blocking the line of the other side to continue to escape.

The two fleets began to fight against each other.

First of all, the unlucky thing was the Royal Guard, which ran after the Duke of Edinburgh in the retreat. This heavy patrol, which was about the same tonnage of the determination class, was caught off guard in the face of a sudden impact. Although it narrowly avoided the two ships in the end, it was surrounded by the Sky Survey and the Sea Patrol. First, it was hit by two light patrol fire attacks and lost. After commanding and being hit by three consecutive torpedoes, although the second mate took everyone to persist for 30 minutes, he finally chose to abandon the ship and open the sea valve at the bottom of the cabin.

Next is the relatively complete Dmitry Donskoy. After being intercepted by Sirius, he had to fight. Fifteen minutes later, when two 305mm shells hit the stern one after another, the Dmitry Donskoy was damaged and the white flag was hung when the rudder was seriously flooded. Temporarily withdrew from the battle.

However, Sirius was also uncomfortable. It was hit by the opponent's main gun at close range. Although it failed to penetrate the armor, the huge vibration and explosion fragments still killed more than a dozen sailors, and the bow main gun was temporarily unavailable.

Ji Rushan had long aimed at the Chesma, but the smoky sea also affected the gunner's sight. It was not until the 20th minute that the Antarctic Star accurately hit the bridge of the Chesma at a distance of 2,000 meters. Although the shell did not penetrate the thick conning tower because of the angle, the shock wave of the explosion fainted. Witthft, the adjutant had to send someone to fly a white flag after seeing this.

After losing the flagship, the remaining Russian warships were even more chaotic. An hour later, the most unlucky guy finally appeared. The Russian battleship Netren Menya was jointly attacked by Qixingxing and Polaris, and a 305mm shell was drilled into the lower deck ammunition depot. After the explosion disconnected the back deck of the battleship with a displacement of 8,000 tons, it was thrown high and smashed on the surface of the water. Tens of thousands of tons of seawater swarmed in and sank into the cold sea a few minutes later.

After the sinking of the Natelum-Menya, it meant that the four main battleships of the Russian Far East Fleet were completely destroyed.

He shuttled between the main battleships with the Swordfish. Jiang Dao was not idle at all. With the weak gun, but with his flexible mobility, he could repeatedly find the opponent's gap, or penetrated behind the enemy's buttocks bombarded by the capital ship, or simply practiced shooting with the soldiers running on the deck. He was so busy. At the same time, the cracks in the corners of the mouth are getting bigger and bigger.

But just then, an accident happened!

"Captain, Russian torpedo!"

A Russian light cruiser unexpectedly drilled into the regiment with a fire. As soon as the guy rushed in, he hit two torpedoes at the stern of the Qixing, which had just sunk the Nerent-Menya!

Because the sea was full of gunpowder smoke, the Qixing did not find the other party. The herring destroyer Qingyu, who chased the Russian cruiser into the battle circle, had no time to inform its partners. Seeing the torpedo rushing to Qixing with its tail, Jiang Dao suddenly took a breath.

"Organ cannon! Shoot with all your strength! The right rudder is ten degrees, rush up!"

"The right rudder is ten degrees? Go up!"

The helmsman looked at the direction of the torpedo and suddenly understood what the captain was going to do. He just wanted to block the torpedo's route with the Swordfish! Almost subconsciously, the helmsman suddenly pulled the rudder plate, and the Swordfish rushed up against the torpedo!

"Prepare for impact!" The shouts of the bridge spread to all parts of the ship along the telephone line. The sailors grabbed the nearest fixed object one after another. The 37mm machine guns newly installed on both sides tried their best to shoot crazily. The shell casings rolled down from below to the deck like raindrops, hitting each other, making a jingle.

Suddenly, only a bang was heard, and a column of water suddenly exploded not far from the ship's body, but before everyone could experience the joy of hitting the torpedo, another torpedo had arrived in front of him and plunged into the front of the bow.

Boom!

The violent underwater explosion produced a stronger cavity effect, and the Russian torpedoes were obviously not loaded as their shells. The violent impact directly lifted the bow of the destroyer of more than 700 tons out of the water, and then smashed it down heavily, and the bow was torn into a huge hole.

Jiang Dao directly attacked with a strong force, and then his whole body flew up, and his head hit the corner of the nautical chart table in the bridge. Suddenly, blood surged, but he had no time to check the wound. He got up and patted the officers around him, and ran to the bow of the ship.

The tear wound with a diameter of one meter made the bow of the swordfish begin to lean forward. Jiang Dao, who was covered with blood on his face, immediately ordered to inject water into the other side of the cabin to ensure the balance of the hull as much as possible. However, after all, the swordfish was a destroyer, and the one-meter crack was enough to be fatal. Twenty minutes later, Jiang Dao was still unable to maintain the balance. Tears gave the order to abandon the ship.

Ten minutes later, the meritorious ship at the beginning of the formation of the Pacific Fleet finally disappeared on the sea.

The encounter of the Swordfish immediately broke out, especially when the other party died to save himself. While Zhou Cheng heard the explosion of the stern, his eyes turned red and ordered to fire at the Russian cruiser with all his strength!

Manghan, who finally used flexibility to get rid of the tenacious and tenacious numbers and rushed into the war circle, was already seriously injured. After being chased and hit by Qixing, he had to hang a white flag and open the sea valve to prepare to sink into the strait.

But the captain's action obviously made Zhou Cheng hate it very much!

Sneak attack me, sink the swordfish and want to escape? It's okay to run. If you obviously raise the white flag, you dare to sink yourself! Don't let me be captured! What the hell is this! So he immediately ordered the main gun to fire. At a distance of less than 1,000 meters, four consecutive 305 mm shells directly blew up the cruiser of less than 3,000 tons. The whirlpool generated by the explosion even directly devoured the four lifeboats next to it, and the remaining Russian captains' eyes were twitching!

Captain Edinburgh directly ordered to stop the sinking.

In the end, the naval battle, which lasted nearly four hours, finally ended after a 203mm armor-piercing shell accurately hit a Russian destroyer and caused the explosion of the ammunition depot.

The surrender of the Chesma, the surrender of the Sinop, the surrender of the Admiral of Nasimov, the surrender of the Duke of Edinburgh, and the surrender of the Dmitry Donskoy. The Russian battleship Nedron-Menya sank, Peter the Great sank, and the Imperial Guard, known as the second-class battleship, sank. Subsequently, the Kremlin was also sent to the sea by the Pacific Fleet destroyer with torpedoes because of his excessive injury.

In addition to the two sunken light cruisers and three destroyers, the Russian fleet lost a total of eight warships, and the commander of the Far East Fleet, Lieutenant General Wittheft, was also captured.

And the Pacific Fleet was not without price. The meritorious ship Swordfish sank. Although Spirit stopped the fire, it lost half of its power because the flame spread to the boiler compartment under the deck, and the hull was seriously damaged, at least half a year away.

In addition, Sirius and Tenacious are also seriously damaged and need to be docked for overhaul.

In terms of personnel, it is also relatively serious. A total of 176 people were killed in the fleet, of which as many as 47 people who sank the swordfish failed to escape after being ordered to abandon the ship. In addition, more than 300 people were injured to varying degrees.

But compared with the rich rewards, all this has become small! Looking at the warships cleaning the battlefield and the five Russian [***] ships gathered with the dodg, Long Guozhang took a deep breath and took out a cigar from his pocket with trembling hands.

Seeing this, Tan Xiaozeng lit a fire for him and smiled: "Commander, we have won!"

"Won!"

"We won!"

The sound began to spread out from the bridge of the North Star, and soon this sound came from all the warships. In the sea breeze, the blood-red battle flags fluttered, and the broken sword-like warship under the abrupt dragon's claws on the battle flag seemed to be more bent!

A few hours later, with the ghosts of the two Japanese cruisers on the horizon, the fleet gave up the work of driving them and continuing to search for Russian soldiers, facing the sunset and embarked on a new road...

(to be continued)
