"Baga! The Chinese people came here slowly! All warships form an offensive sequence and are ready to attack the Chinese fleet at any time." The King Kong is the flagship of the entire fleet. After discovering the Chinese warship, he immediately issued an order.

"Turn left..." The sound of warships turned sounded in the group of Japanese warships. Destroyers and cruisers moved forward one after another, swam quickly around the fleet, and they gradually saw the Chinese warships moving on the sea.

The arrangement of the Chinese fleet was similar to that of the Japanese fleet. Groups of torpedo boat cruisers and destroyers rushed over crazily, and the Chinese fleet occupied the attacking party as soon as possible.

"Baga!" The Japanese army did not attach much importance to torpedo boats. On the contrary, they loved destroyers that could curb torpedo boats. This fleet consisted of eighty destroyers, forty-three cruisers and one hundred and eighty gunboats. They were all used to defend the main battleships.

"Torpedo launch..." The torpedo boats are very fast, faster than the Japanese destroyers. These torpedo boats have small tonnages. The powerful engines give them super high navigation speeds. They saw torpedo boats shuttled through the water like swordfish. From time to time, a torpedo boat slowed down and fired torpedoes at the Japanese warships ahead. At this time, the torpedo boat formation had reached the bombardment range of the Japanese warships.

"Baga! Dodge... Fire the gun!" The Japanese destroyers and gunboats took corresponding dodges, and then covered the torpedo boat with fierce firepower.

"Boom..." Countless shells soared into the sky, and bursts of fire and white smoke rose up on the entire sea.

"Avoid..." The torpedo boats also dodged one after another, for fear of being hit by these shells.

But the shells came too quickly, and three torpedo boats were still hit.

"Boom...boom..." The explosion of shells sounded on the sea, and the three hit torpedo boats instantly turned into torches, and the other torpedo boats fled in scattered.

"Boom...boom..." Just like the Chinese fleet, the Japanese warships were also given priority care by torpedoes. Nearly ten torpedoes hit the Japanese gunboats and destroyers. Although these two types of warships are much larger than torpedo boats, in front of the torpedo, even if the cruiser is hit and not killed, they will have to peel off the layers.

"Bang..." A Japanese bay defense gunboat with more than 1,000 tons jumped suddenly, was bounced high, and then fell down again! But then it began to sink rapidly. The power of the torpedo made all warships frightened. Even aircraft carriers in later generations did not dare to enjoy the taste of being bombarded by torpedoes.

"Hurry up... extinguish the fire..." A large Japanese cruiser was unfortunately hit by a torpedo. The water line at the stern was blown up, and a large fire was ignited, and sea water penetrated at the bottom. Fortunately, the broken area was above the water line, so there was not much sea water flowing in, but the fire was troublesome. The inside of the hull was still mainly wood. If it was not extinguished as soon as possible, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Quick..." A Japanese soldier took the washbasin and other items used for daily use, picked up water from the ground and poured it on. At this time, the ship suddenly vibrated again, but it seemed to be on the surface of the hull.

"Baga! What's going on?" The cruiser Yichuan was one of the large Japanese cruisers, with a displacement of 8,600 tons. It was equipped with a 250-mm naval gun. It was considered a main battleship, but was so unlucky that it was hit by a torpedo and then another shelling attack.

"Report to the captain, our former main gun was hit by a shell, but fortunately it was not damaged!" The naval officer hurried to the captain to report the situation, but they did not find that a large warship was aiming the artillery at him. Who made the Yichuan rush in front of him to death? Five of them were killed by this guy just as the torpedo boat was dispersed, and he also attracted the attention of the Anhui North battleship.

"Hey, I'm the command center. The front main guns are equipped with two main guns, and the two main guns are fired at the large Japanese destroyer. The secondary guns and other main guns are free to fire. Dominate the cruiser formation and pay attention to the enemy's destroyers!" Wu Hong, commander of the battleship of the Anhui North, picked up the phone to order all parties. Now Deng Sen has already converted the command of the warship into telephone command. If it weren't for the fact that the radio technology has not passed, he even wanted to install all warships on radio, which could be beneficial to the direct command of the fleet.

However, even if the phone is only configured on the warship, the effect is very obvious.

"Aim at the Japanese cruisers in front, aim at the left and right secondary guns, and fire the gun..." The turret commander in the front held a telescope and then issued an order. The two double main guns in the front began to aim at the Japanese cruisers. At this time, the Japanese army was still unaware that because the battlefield was too chaotic, the Japanese cruisers and destroyers were chasing the torpedo boats, while the Chinese destroyers and cruisers were dealing with the Japanese gunboats and destroyers, so it was in chaos. Moreover, the battleships were all in the rear. Unlike Japan, all Japanese main guns except the dreadnought were forty-five times the caliber, while the main guns of the four Chinese battleships were fifty times the caliber, with a longer range and stronger power.

"Boom..." The sound of the huge 305-caliber main gun of the battleship shocked the world. The entire huge battleship trembled due to the recoil. At the same time, the eight secondary guns all adjusted their angles to think that the Japanese cruiser fired.

"Boom..." The shells flew out of the smoke and flew straight towards the cruiser of the Yichuan. The huge power of the main gun was instantly revealed. The Yichuan, who was still chasing the torpedo boat, was instantly hit by five shells, two heavy shells, and three secondary shells.

"Baga! What's going on? Extinguish the fire quickly..." This violent explosion shocked all the officers and soldiers of the Ichuan, because usually it is impossible for a warship to be hit by so many shells at the same time.

Fortunately, although two heavy artillery shells destroyed their turrets, there was no explosion on time, and the battleship sub-art artillery shells only killed some Japanese naval soldiers.

However, the bad luck of the Yichuan was not over yet. After an attack, in just one minute, the battleship of the Anhui North fired again.

More than a dozen shells fell on the cruiser Ikawa in an instant with arc. Under the horrified gaze of its Japanese commander, more than a dozen shells actually hit.

"Boom..." With loud bangs, the entire Yichuan battleship instantly raised fire. Accompanied by explosions, the arms on it flew everywhere, and soon turned into a burning torch on the sea.

"Boom..." The Anhui North continued to advance, and its deputy cannon kept attacking the Japanese destroyers who were trying to approach.

"Baga! Fire guns at the Chinese battleship!" The Hiei battlecruiser quickly started to meet the Anhui North and came up. They could not watch the Chinese battleship slaughtering their warships here.

"All artillery preparations are aimed at the Japanese battlecruiser Hiei!" Wu Hong looked at the Japanese battlecruiser attacking, without fear at all. The armor of Xia-class battleships was thicker than that of the thickest German armor. They were confident that they would carry the Japanese artillery, and he even wanted to sink the main battleship of the Japanese army.

"Turn left, single-mounted rapid-fire artillery pay attention to enemy destroyers, and all other artillery are aimed at the Japanese Hiei! Fire the artillery!" The two large battleships are engaged in a life-and-death battle, and they are also worried about torpedoes. However, the caliber of the artillery fire is much higher than that of the Xia class. The main gun caliber of the Xia class is based on the German-made 305 mm caliber, while the Japanese Warehouses are all 356 mm main guns.

"Boom..." The two giant ships opened fire at the same time, and the shells of both sides crossed and fell towards each other.

"Bang...boom..." Three shells fell on the North Anhui, and one hit the edge of the main gun, causing one sub-cannon to be permanently scrapped. All the artillery inside the sub-cannon were killed. Another main gun shell and the sub-cannon shell fell on the middle of the ship and exploded on the armor. However, at this time the advantages of the armor were withdrawn. The violent explosion only destroyed a rapid-fire cannon, leaving a depression on the armor, which did not cause any greater damage.

Compared with this, the situation of Hiei is much worse.

"Boom..." The battleship of Anhui North has ten 305-caliber main guns, fourteen 150 mm secondary guns, and a total of twenty-four shells actually hit the Hiei, six of which were main gun shells.

“Hula…”

"Boom...boom..." Sudden explosions appeared on the Hiei. Most of the secondary guns on the side were almost instantly eliminated. A main gun that hit the armor of the front deck was bounced off, and all other shells were killed. One of its four main guns was broken by armor-piercing bombs, and a violent explosion occurred, and the front half was in chaos.

"Haga! How could this happen!" The commander of the Japanese Hiei could not believe that they also hit the Chinese battleship, but the other party did not seem to have any major damage except for one secondary cannon, and the Hiei was destroyed one main turret at once.

"Continue shooting..." On the Anhui North, Wu Hong continued to issue orders very calmly. Before the Japanese artillery attack, he might have been worried that the battlecruiser in the Far East must have never launched a battleship with the battleship, so he did not know how powerful the so-called dreadnought was. Now it seems that this kind of warship cannot suppress the battleship. Although its main gun is powerful and fast, it still needs to slow down when firing. That is to say, during the battle, his speed is almost the same as the opponent, so at this time the armor is compared.

"Boom..." In addition to these two main battleships of various parties, the Nanjing and Shanghai have also met the Japanese battle cruisers, and the Nanjing is surrounded by two dreadnoughts, the King Kong and Kirishima.

However, the battle between the two sides did not make much progress. After all, the artillery and armor of both sides were relatively thick, and it was difficult to completely sink the other party, unless it penetrated the other party's ammunition depot, but that kind of thing only had a one-tenth chance.

On the outside of the battlefield, the warships of the Nanyang Fleet were surrounding the south. Coincidentally, the Japanese battleship formation also had the same idea. Therefore, the Chinese fleet was absolutely weak here because there was only one battleship here, and one was just a semi-meaningless battleship. Yes, the Taishan had been transformed. Its previous large heavy cruiser design was removed, but it was changed to a battleship. Its armor was all made from local, and China had just obtained these technologies, so it was not skilled enough. And because of the increased caliber and power facilities of the gun, the Taishan speed dropped greatly, from the previous twenty-seven knots to only twenty knots, which was lower than the current ordinary battleships, but it was equipped with large artillery made by China, and the 356 mm ship-borne gun war was won and the outcome was unknown.!
