A total of eight Fusang torpedo boats rushed from the depths of the bay. Due to their concealed approach in advance, they were found to be less than seven nautical miles away from the Qinglong heavy cruiser and were approaching at high speed.

Once it is close to the range of 600 to 700 meters, the torpedo boat can release steam torpedoes.

This is the most real threat faced by the Qinglong heavy cruiser. The imported British white-headed torpedo can carry more than 200 pounds of high explosives. Rely on steam launch, the torpedo uses compressed air as power to travel quickly, with a speed of 10 to 13 kilometers per hour and a threat range of about 100 to 600 meters.

Once exploded near the keel of an unarmored ship, it can cause fatal damage to large ships.

In the commander's tower of the 300mm thick armor protection of the heavy cruiser, Brigadier General He Fang sat on a high command chair, and all the changes in Nagasaki Bay were visible, like a palm-viewing pattern. Seeing the torpedo boat fleet galloping deep in the bay, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The concentrated fire destroyed the No. 2 and No. 4 coastal artillery on the side of Nagasaki Bay, which means that the overall situation has been decided. As long as you sail closely against the side of the bay, the remaining No. 1 and No. 3 will not pose any threat at all.

At this moment, the Chronicle heavy cruiser is an invincible existence in Nagasaki Bay. It must be windy and rainy.

If the Japanese slaves were wise, it would be best to raise their hands and surrender obediently, and they would still leave some blood for the Fusang Navy.

Now... it's purely seeking death!

"Brothers, the time for rabbit hunting is here again, so there is no need to save shells for us. Today we are going to shoot the Queensland fleet, so let the cherry blossoms bloom brilliantly!

Now I order;

The 280mm main naval gun aimed at the main ironclad ship of Fusang Kingdom and opened fire freely, bombarding at full speed until it sinks.

The target of the secondary gun 150mm and below is an enemy torpedo boat fleet, blocking the shooting at full speed and opening fire..."

With He Fang's order, the Qinglong heavy cruiser truly showed a ferocious face.

Four twin-mounted 95mm Miss Australia artillery that had not participated in the battle before bombarding the coastal artillery, four twin-mounted 70mm artillery, and eight legal 37mm Hachikes fast cannons, and four twin-mounted 150mm secondary cannons were exerted together to bombard them with all their might.

In an instant, the dazzling light overshadowed the sun in the sky.

The dense shells crossed the sky and woven into a gray-white sky net, falling into a forest where the water splashed into a column of water, as if cold water was poured into a hot oil pan, stirring the blue sea water to the turbulence.

Eight Fusang torpedo boats traveling at high speed through the water column forest. In a blink of an eye, they were covered by hazy white water mist. Then two muffled sounds came from the continuous. The powerful water pressure from the near-bounce shot torn apart the two torpedo speedboats, as easy as tearing apart the pieces of paper.

The 150mm high-explosive bomb fell into the sea and could form huge water pressure 40 meters near the center of the explosion center, causing fatal damage to light speedboats without armor protection.

The entire Fuso torpedo boat troops, with the determination of shattering, spread out in the shape of a geese and drilled into the densely packed area. The Qinglong heavy cruiser tilted hundreds of shells per minute, and fired a firewall of thousands of meters wide in the narrow Nagasaki Bay, covering the offensive route.

A shocking sound of "boom" sounded like a shocking sound

After another torpedo boat was hit by a large caliber shell, the torpedo exploded directly. The instantaneous waves formed by the strong explosion directly overturned the other torpedo boat that followed him.

A few minutes later

The torpedo boat fleet forced its way across the Fire. Only three of the eight torpedo boats that were originally arranged neatly and rushing forward were left. The others were either overturned or sunken, or torn to pieces by shells. At this time, they were about four miles away from the Qinglong heavy cruiser.

It seems very close, but in fact, the hope for success of the attack is getting slim.

From seven nautical miles away from when it was discovered to approaching four nautical miles, the Fusang national torpedo boat team, which had vowed to be broken, is likely to dream come true.

In just a few minutes, the Qinglong heavy cruiser was fully fired, as if it was full of fire and terrifying monsters, pouring out thousands of shells of various caliber to carry out barrage shooting, blowing the Nagasaki Bay into a sea of ​​fire.

As the distance narrowed, the hit rate increased sharply, various naval guns on the Qinglong heavy cruiser, with a caliber of 150 mm, were placed flattened with thick gun barrels, and after a three-minute rapid fire, the hope of these three torpedo boats to survive was zero.

The 86-ton torpedo boat attacked the 8,800-ton heavy cruiser, which can be seen as eight children holding fruit knives to hurt heavy armored warriors armed to their teeth. The possibility of success is slim.

The launch of torpedo requires a distance of less than 600 meters, which is almost an incomplete task.

At this moment, one of the three torpedo boats scattered in formation suddenly exploded, and huge fireballs exploded one after another. In a blink of an eye, the 86-ton torpedo boat was torn into pieces. The mushroom cloud shining with fire was dozens of meters high, with a shocking momentum.

It turned out that the white-headed torpedo imported from the UK exploded. The torpedo performance in today's era is extremely unstable and cannot be loaded into the torpedo launcher in advance. The torpedo launcher equipped by warships is usually empty and must be temporarily loaded during combat.

The process of installing torpedoes is very dangerous, and if you are not careful in operation, it will lead to catastrophic consequences.

In theory

The torpedo boat team belonging to Fusang should attack during the bombing of the Qinglong heavy cruiser and the coastal artillery. Taking advantage of the fierce battle, the chances of winning are relatively greater.

Basically, the success rate of sneak attacks can be increased from 2% to 3% to about 10%, which is worth the next heavy bet.

Unfortunately, the dominance of the battle was not on the Fuso Fleet. The battle broke out in Nagasaki Bay and it took too long to load the torpedoes.

When they were ready, they found that the coastal artillery of No. 2 and No. 4 had been destroyed one after another and could not last until the end. At this time, the gateway of Nagasaki Bay was opened, and the chances of turning defeat into victory were extremely slim.

The Japanese slaves were like gamblers who lost everything, staring at their blood-filled eyes and rushing, still fantasizing about a miracle that would turn defeat into victory.

The reason why miracles are called miracles is that they are almost impossible to encounter under normal circumstances.

While the secondary gun was building, the six 280mm main naval guns equipped on the Tinnoh heavy cruiser were not idle. They aimed at the Fusang, which was staggering away from the dock in the harbor, and the steam armored warships of Hiei and the King Kong were bombarded and soon achieved results.

These three main steam armored warships of Fusang Kingdom were originally anchored at the dock, and they were always the flesh held in the mouth of the Qinglong heavy cruiser. Any abnormal movement would cause serious warnings until they were ruthlessly attacked.

After the ultimatum was passed, fierce fire strikes followed one after another.

In the second round of the six 280mm main artillery fired, a high-explosive bomb directly hit the bow of the Fusang ship. The violent explosion made the Fusang ironclad ship seem to have suffered a heavy blow, and the entire hull was beaten horizontally and deviated as much as 27 degrees from the spot.

The explosion fire ball swept by like a hurricane, bringing a bloody storm. Amid the sound of tooth-sourcing steel tearing, the main artillery in front of the Fusang produced a violent explosion, and it exploded continuously, covering the commander tower and chimney in fire balls of all sizes.

After the disaster, the bow of the Fusang was blown away. The warship commander tower, the tall steel triangular mast and the front chimney were almost destroyed. The charred and twisted were shocking, and it had completely lost its combat effectiveness.

A large amount of sea water poured in from the fracture, and the stern of the "Fusang" warship, visible to the naked eye, raised high, revealing the brass propellers and marine attachments covered with the hull. The Japanese officers and soldiers who survived were in chaos and jumped into the sea like dumplings.

It was too late to say it, then it was soon...

Just over 30 seconds later, the third round of volleys followed one after another, including three 280mm high-explosive bombs that hit the remaining hull of the Fusang, showing the Queensland sailors' precise artillery technique. After three muffled sounds that made people's scalp numb, it exploded violently, breaking the Fusang hull from it again, and quickly sank into the bay in just a few minutes.

"God Amaterasu! Please open your eyes. I, Yamato nation, have no hope?" A heart-wrenching screamed. Sato Yuhiewe, the plenipotentiary appointed by the cabinet, sat next to the cherry blossom tree like an old dog that had removed his bones. His eyes were dissipated, and the remaining lucky mentality completely disappeared.

Losing, losing too badly!

Looking at the scene in Nagasaki Bay where fires surged, Sato Yuibe was filled with sadness and despair.

Since the Black Ship incident, the United States has forcibly opened the country's border with gunboats to this day, and the tireless efforts of an entire generation have gone into nothing.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten. Sato Yubuguchi deeply understands the meaning of this sentence.

Looking up

The atrocities of the Queensland fleet are still continuing. Sato's right Guard no longer dares to see them again, nor can he bear to see them again. The Fusang Navy, which was still immature, was ravaged and suffered a catastrophe, which became a painful setback in the process of modernization of the Fusang Navy.

When you are weak, you must respect the strong.

Whenever Sato's Ueiwei thought of this, he became more and more angry with Masaji Kobayashi's tough and tough anti-barrier factions, which were their reckless behavior that ruined the young Fuso Navy and had to apologize to the people.

From another perspective

The tragedy that took place in Nagasaki Bay is a tragedy of a weak country, which greatly eased the pressure of the current cabinet. The hatred of the people and the strong reaction of public opinion are completely predictable, and the fingers will be pointed at foreign invaders...Queenslanders.

Even though the violent warships were flying the Rice-shaped flag, the weak Fusang Kingdom did not dare to confront the empire represented by this flag, and the blame could only be the Queenslander.

As for signing the treaty, this is probably difficult to avoid.

Today, the atrocities that took place in Nagasaki Bay under the gaze of attention made a perfect footnote to the surrender of the current cabinet. Although the Fusang people were full of resentment, they were helpless.

The current situation of the country's barren and poor people is here, the current situation of the island country surrounded by the sea is here, and the current situation of the Fusang Navy, which was destroyed, is useless to be stubborn. If you admit defeat, you must be honest and be beaten.

Sato Yubuguchi was not without bitter self-comfort, but he actually felt much better in his heart. Perhaps this is a necessary skill to survive and develop in the cracks!

Otherwise, what should I do? Will I commit suicide by cutting my stomach like those reckless men?
