"We can't keep going like this! Zhiyuan and Jingyuan will not be able to hold on! Maybe they will be 2-for-4 soon!" Earl Spey said anxiously at the two dome-armored cruisers behind him who were already beaten torture! At this time, he discovered the weakness of Mainz itself, that is, the power of the 6-inch gun is not strong enough, and simply setting fire is enough, but the damage to the hull of 45kg shells is still much worse! The 280mm gun's firing rate is still a bit slow!

Zhiyuan and Jingyuan performed well. If the fortune telling rate is achieved, the performance of these two warships is higher than that of the opponent, but the damage and hardware gap in previous battles made them difficult! At this time, the two warships were already scarred. The 150mm artillery on the side string of the Zhiyuan and the 210mm main gun at the rear had been destroyed, and the main gun on the bow of the Jingyuan ship was destroyed! Only one of the two warships was left with firepower!

"Tell Zhiyuan, Jingyuan, continue to maintain the formation, let's rely on it to make a fortune!" Yang Yonglin issued the second order in this battle that was enough to keep him famous in history! When he is not able to maintain the situation, the best way is to rush when the situation is still stable! And Kaiyuan happens to have this ability!

"Madman!" The Kaiyuan, which was originally sailing in parallel, quickly turned the bow, and its slender bow aimed at the Kasumi like a sharp sword! Then the 7,500-ton ironclad ship rushed over like an angry tiger! At the same time, all the cannons that could be erected were aimed at the Kasumi!

When the firepower originally scattered on the two warships was concentrated on one warship, even the Kasuga, which was also a first-class cruiser, had to retreat! And it seemed that the other party was planning to perform the horn-rushing tactic! I didn't see the other party rushing straight towards me!

This is a special era. The speed of the warship can reach more than 20 knots, and the combat distance is generally within 3,000 meters! In other words, the angular rushing tactic is still feasible! When Kaiyuan aimed the bow of the ship at the Kasumi, the flat-handled Hang San was so scared that Sanhun ran away two of them! The straight-line distance between the opponent is only 2,500 meters! If someone hits, it will probably be a matter of minutes?

At this time, most people think about dodging quickly, and not considering what the other party has in doing so. If they can still consider why the other party uses such extreme tactics, then the commander is either as strong as a tree or has a slow reaction! Faced with this very classical naval battle method, Pingdao Hangsan was decisive and cowardly!

The huge hull of Kasuga turned rapidly on the sea surface, and the servo at the stern was the largest by the avenue. Under the action of huge inertia, the warship even tilted slightly. The hull of more than 100 meters began to turn rapidly, and then accelerated to escape from the battleship under the action of huge power!

The Kaiyuan hull quickly tangled horizontally into the Japanese fleet. Kasuki escaped this seemingly fierce attack, but the Yoshino did not react at the first time. The distance between the two sides quickly narrowed to about 1,200 meters! Moreover, the front half of the Yoshino hull just faced the Kaiyuan side-string cannon array......

"Although the situation is very urgent, it is still far from the point of using Kaiyuan to exchange for Chunghi. I won't do such a loss-making business!" Afterwards, Yang Yonglin replied easily. In fact, Yang Yonglin didn't plan to use such a desperate tactic at all. The situation of the warship is still very good. Why use the tactic of killing one thousand enemies and losing 800 yourself?

The key to Yang Yonglin is to temporarily drive the Kasumi out of the battlefield, then catch it off guard and approach the Yoshino, use a sharp shelling to severely damage it, and at least temporarily expel it from the battle line! On 1,200 meters, the Yoshino faces intensive shooting of more than ten artillery artillery of various caliber, which must be sour!

Togo Hirahachiro did not react at the first time, or did not react! When he was considering whether to avoid it, the shells fired from the first round of artillery shells had already covered the cruiser! Almost all the gun positions that could be fought by the Yoshino, which used ear-tables instead of the gallery gun, were covered by dense bomb rain.

The Mimeinz's ammunition of more than 2 tons per minute was projected at a very close distance and instantly knocked the Yoshino into a sea of ​​fire. The flames soaring into the sky and countless shrapnel tore the steel plates, tearing the cannons, cabins and personnel into pieces. The fragile cabin partitions could not stop the raging shrapnel at all. The steel fragments smashed the entire cabin into a sieve like small armor-piercing bombs, and destroyed everything behind them!

The most fatal blow came from the hit of two 280mm heavy artillery! One shell directly cut a huge hole in the bow waterline, and then a dark red flame gushed out from the break. With the steering of the warship, tons of sea water poured in from the break, and the huge impact force even directly broke some area of ​​the bow! Another shell hit the middle of the hull, not only destroying the two rapid-fire cannons, but also cutting off several steam pipes! The speed of the Yoshino, which was rapidly turning, immediately began to decline!

"Release the torpedo!" However, at this critical moment, Hirahachiro Togo still took remedial measures. On the one hand, he ordered the warship to avoid the opposite direction, and on the other hand, he immediately released the torpedo! Not to mention whether he could hit the opponent, but at least he could make the opponent's firepower farther away from him!

Two torpedoes with no accurate heads made Kaiyuan subconsciously avoid the giant beast, and the Yoshino took advantage of this time to escape from the opponent's dense artillery fire, just like a wolf cunningly using it to avoid the culprit of a lion! But just when Hirahachiro Togo thought he had escaped, the wolf happened to hit the teeth of another wolf!

"The consciousness is very vague. You can't explain what it is, but at a critical moment, he will tell you what to do!" After the war, Deng Shichang commented on what he did at that time! Yang Yonglin had no other orders except telling Deng Shichang to collide. But then, Deng Shichang's actions just made up for the loopholes in Kaiyuan! He also completed the final kill of the Yoshino!

Hirahachiro Togo did a good job. When he was suppressed by the fierce close-range firepower of the Kaiyuan, he avoided the opposite direction. The two warships sailed against each other so that the Yoshino could avoid the opponent's attack as soon as possible. However, the tragic thing was that Yoshino's avoidance direction and Zhiyuan's turn direction were exactly opposite. When he left the far away heavy artillery, he hit Zhiyuan's torpedo!

In fact, considering the tragic performance of compressed aerodynamic torpedoes in this era, it is almost delusional to hit the target of moving at high speed. However, when the Yoshino dodged, the speed of the Yoshino dropped sharply, and the huge hull came directly across. The two 280mm shells made Yoshino as slow as a hyena that broke a leg. It had no speed or mobility, and the hull was still horizontal! Zhiyuan didn't have to consider it at all, and it shot a torpedo at a distance of only 500 meters. In less than a minute, the Yoshino's already slightly tilted hull suddenly burst out a huge water column! Accompanied by a loud bang, a large hole of 5 meters appeared on the side of the hull!
