Chapter 122 The True Warrior
"Pay attention to controlling the speed. Our power system is no longer good. There may be problems under strong pressure and ventilation!" Hippel kept reminding Yang Yonglin, and the latter rationally maintained the speed at around 8 knots. There was only one chance to kill the Chiyoda, but it was definitely not now!
The Japanese fleet was as agile as a pack of wolves. They circled a huge circle around the Kaiyuan. Even though the tiger in front of them was exhausted, it was still a tiger that could not bear its might! Its outstanding record was made by the Japanese fleet!
The Japanese fleet finally chose to cut into the battlefield from the northwest direction. They would cut into the front of the Kaiyuan diagonally. According to normal fighting style, the warship would choose to sail in parallel and then suffocate the opponent with dense shells. After a safe and typical battle line battle, the Japanese could win!
"The only opportunity is to cut the Japanese fleet across the line when we rushed toward each other, forcibly pull the opponent into two sections, and then find an opportunity to kill the Chiyoda cruiser." Earl Spey still acted as the chief of staff with all his heart and responsibilities. He put forward his own suggestions from the perspective of an artillery expert. The fleet took advantage of the chaos to cut, and then suffocated Chiyoda with dense cannons, and then used heavy cannons or torpedoes to kill the opponent! As for the matter behind it, we can only leave it to fate!
Boom, boom, boom! The Japanese opened fire! At a distance of 2,500 meters, four Japanese cruisers fired dense shells, and as the Japanese expected, the Kaiyuan began to turn and aimed the scarred side strings at the opponent! The remaining artillery began to allocate targets, suppressing three enemy ships at the same time with their own strength!
"You lost your last chance! Yang Yonglin! You made our sacrifice and blood worthless!" In the explosion and fire, Earl Spee cursed loudly! Just now, Yang Yonglin did not use Earl Spee's style of playing! Instead, he used the most conservative and promising tactics to fight on parallel battle lines!
With a "bang", the entire commander tower shook violently. Earl Spee shook his feet and did not stand firmly. He turned to the table on one side, and at this time a pair of big hands held it. "Believe me, Chiyoda will definitely be done." Yang Yonglin's voice sounded beside him.
"There is no suspense in this way!" Countless shells fell on Kaiyuan like raindrops, and balls of bright yellow flames exploded on the ship surface. The violent explosion blew the flames around. At this time, any attempt to extinguish the fire was almost futile. The Japanese high-explosive bombs kept sweeping the entire deck. No one could survive for 30 seconds without a protection.
Under the repeated attacks of the shells, the hard Krupp armor will also collapse. The impact and explosion of the shells will test the defense system of the warship again and again. In the end, the relatively fragile parts will be broken, and many connecting parts with the unarmored belts will be destroyed. Liu Ding was violently vibrated and bounced out. Then the entire armor plate was lifted up in the violent explosion! Then countless shrapnel and flames took advantage of the opportunity to pour into the cabin from the break.
Compared with the current Kaiyuan, Kasuga is too strong, and Takasaki is also a tough person who is difficult to deal with. The Kaiyuan is now in the middle of the Japanese fleet! Only the artillery fire of Takasaki and Chiyoda has a good attack angle. At this time, the Kaiyuan's slow speed seemed to have become an advantage. When passing through the Kaiyuan at a high speed of 12 knots, the Japanese were depressed to find that they were much faster than the Kaiyuan, so they soon missed their opponents...
After a while, the Japanese helplessly lowered their speed, set the speed to about 8 knots, which was almost stationary to the opponent, and then began to attack the opponent step by step until the opponent sank or surrender? At this time, Kaiyuan's defense was even more trouble than the remaining firepower brought to the Japanese. The dense high-explosion bomb effect was still limited, and the armor-piercing bomb effect was not as effective as the former. If nothing unexpected happened, the battle would last for a while!
"It seems that there has been a war." Shortly after the two sides fought, a British cruiser gradually approached the battlefield. If we talk about maritime intelligence collection capabilities, the British are definitely the most powerful existence in the Far East at present. The last time the Kaiyuan was targeted by the opponent was the masterpiece of the British! The last battle in the Far East sea was there, and the British also wanted to see how this war ended.
"Even with well-trained naval officers and soldiers, coupled with the powerful combat power of the Kaiyuan, the results cannot be changed. The Beiyang Navy is worthy of being the name of elites. They failed in strategy and country." Major Carlson sighed, his tone full of admiration.
"So this is also the fundamental reason why the Empire supports Japan rather than Qing! The Qing Dynasty cannot meet the needs of the Empire, only Japan is possible. It is a brand new country with strong vitality and ambitions." Major General Ferrimante paused and continued: "But adhering to the principles of humanitarianism and knights, once the battle is over, we need to quickly isolate the warring parties to prevent something unpredictable again."
Feilimante came over with a cruiser not only to watch the battle, but more importantly, "avoid the intensification of the conflict between Germany and Japan!" After all, there are still a large number of Germans in Kaiyuan, and now the relationship between Germany and Japan is in a very delicate stage. There are calls for reconciliation within the German government. If something happens at this time... the consequences are unimaginable!
"The Japanese are just a bunch of wild beasts." Major Carlson's words were full of mockery, "not just because of the atrocities they committed in North Korea and the Qing Dynasty! More importantly, their brains are full of muscles! Like a reckless box of wild beasts, or mad dogs! They don't understand strategy at all, and the relationship between the army and the government! The army is the sword in the hands of the government. People must command the sword, but swords cannot command people!"
Just as the British approached the battlefield, another fleet agreed to approach the battlefield, but unlike the relaxed British, this fleet is full of murderous aura! If the British "try to avoid the tragedy", then the German fleet will stop the tragedy at all costs!
"What if we come late?" asked a German officer.
"Then just like His Highness the Prince did, send all the Japanese into the sea!" Sher said without hesitation. He was authorized to use limited force in China!
