"We can't go on like this! Zhiyuan and Jingyuan will not be able to hold on! Maybe it's going to be 2 to 4 soon! Count Spee said anxiously as he looked at the two doma-armored cruisers behind him that had been beaten to fire! At this time, he discovered the weakness of the Mainz itself, that is, the power of the 6-inch gun was not strong enough, and it was enough to simply set fire, but the damage to the hull of the 45KG shell was still much worse! AND THE RATE OF FIRE OF THE 280MM GUN IS STILL A LITTLE SLOW!

The performance of Zhiyuan and Jingyuan is really good, if you count the hit rate, the performance of these two battleships is higher than that of the other party, but the damage and hardware gap in the previous battle make it difficult for them to move forward! AT THIS TIME, THE TWO BATTLESHIPS HAD BEEN SCARRED, THE 150MM GUNS ON THE SIDE CHORD AND THE 210MM MAIN GUNS IN THE REAR OF THE ZHIYUAN HAD BEEN DESTROYED, AND THE MAIN GUNS IN THE BOW OF THE JINGYUAN HAD BEEN DESTROYED! Only one of the two battleships remains!

"Tell Zhiyuan Jingyuan to continue to maintain the formation, let's lean up and give it a hand!" Yang Yonglin gave the second order in this battle that was enough to make him famous in history! When you don't have the ability to sustain the battle, the best thing to do is to rush while the situation is still stable! And Kaiyuan happens to have this ability!

"Maniac!" The Kaiyuan, which had been sailing in parallel, quickly turned its bow, and the slender bow was aimed at the Kasuga like a sharp sword! Then the 7,500-ton ironclad ship rushed over like an angry tiger! At the same time, all the artillery that could be fired was aimed at the Kasuga!

When the firepower that was originally scattered on the two battleships was concentrated on one battleship, even the Kasuga, which was also a cruiser of the first rank, had to retreat! And it looks like the other party is planning to carry out the tactics of attacking! I didn't see the other party rushing straight over!

This is a special era, the speed of the battleship can soar to more than 20 knots, and the combat distance is generally within 3000 meters! In other words, the angle of attack tactics are still feasible! And when the Kaiyuan aimed its bow at the Kasuga, Pingyu Hangzo was so frightened that the three souls ran away by two! The distance between the other party in a straight line is only 2,500 meters! If people bump into it, I'm afraid it's just a matter of minutes, right?

At this time, most people are thinking about dodging quickly, without thinking about what the other party's goal is, at this time, if you can still consider why the other party uses such extreme tactics, then this commander is either as strong as a tree, or his reaction is half a beat slow! In the face of this naval warfare method with classical characteristics, Pingyu Hangsan was decisive!

The huge hull of the Kasuga turned sharply on the sea, the steering gear at the stern was maximized, and the battleship even tilted slightly under the action of huge inertia, and the hull of more than 100 meters long began to turn rapidly, and then accelerated to escape from the battle column under the action of huge power!

The Kaiyuan's hull quickly cut sideways into the Japanese fleet, and the Kasuga escaped this seemingly ferocious blow, but the subsequent Yoshino did not react at the first time, and the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed to about 1200 meters! Moreover, the front half of the Yoshino's hull was facing the Kaiyuan's sidestring artillery array.

"Although the situation is urgent, it is far from the extent of exchanging Kaiyuan for spring, and I won't do this kind of loss-making business!" Afterwards, Yang Yonglin replied easily. In fact, Yang Yonglin didn't plan to use such desperate tactics at all, the situation of the battleship was still very good, why did he use the tactic of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 self-inflicted?

The key for Yang Yonglin is to temporarily drive the Kasuga out of the battlefield, and then get close to the Yoshino by surprise, and hit it hard with a wave of fierce artillery bombardment, at least temporarily expelling it from the battle line! At 1,200 meters, the Yoshino must have felt sour in the face of the intensive fire of more than a dozen guns of various calibers!

Heihachiro Togo didn't react at the first time, or didn't react either! While he was thinking about whether to evade it, the shells fired from the first round of shelling had already enveloped the cruiser! Almost all of the Yoshino's capable gun emplacements, which used earrings instead of the Gun Gallery Cannon, were covered in a dense rain of bullets.

The Mainz projected more than 2 tons of ammunition per minute at a very close distance instantly turned the Yoshino into a sea of fire, the soaring flames and countless shrapnel tore apart the steel plates, tearing the artillery, cabins and personnel to pieces, the fragile compartment partition could not stop the raging shrapnel at all, and the steel fragments smashed the entire compartment into a sieve like a small armor-piercing projectile, destroying everything behind by the way!

AND THE MOST LETHAL BLOW CAME FROM THE HIT OF TWO 280MM GUNS! A cannonball cut a huge hole in the armor directly at the waterline of the bow, and then a dark red fire gushed out from the breach, and with the turn of the battleship, tons of seawater poured in from the breach, and the huge impact force even directly shattered part of the bow area! Another shell hit the middle of the hull, destroying not only two rapid-fire guns, but also several steam pipes! The speed of the Yoshino, which was turning sharply, immediately began to decrease!

"Release the torpedo!" However, at this critical moment, Heihachiro Togo still made a remedy, on the one hand, he ordered the battleship to avoid in the opposite direction, and on the other hand, he immediately released the torpedo! Let's not talk about whether you can hit the opponent, but at least you can keep the opponent's firepower away from you!

The two inaccurate torpedoes allowed the giant beast to subconsciously evade it, and the Yoshino took advantage of this time to escape smoothly from the enemy's dense artillery fire, like a wolf cunning use of the turn to avoid the culling of a lion! But just when Heihachiro Togo thought he had escaped, the wolf happened to hit the teeth of another wolf!

"Consciousness is very vague, you can't tell what it is, but at the critical moment, he will tell you what to do!" After the war, Deng Shichang commented on what he did at that time! Yang Yonglin did not have any other orders except to inform Deng Shichang that he was going to collide. But then, Deng Shichang's actions just made up for the loophole of the Kaiyuan! And complete the lore of the Yoshino!

Togo Heihachiro did the right thing, when he was suppressed by the Kaiyuan's ferocious close-range fire, he reversed the evasion, and the two battleships sailed opposite each other so that the Yoshino could dodge the other party's attack as soon as possible, but the tragedy was that Yoshino's evasion direction and Zhiyuan's turning direction were exactly opposite, and when he was far away from the Yuanyuan heavy artillery, he crashed headlong into Zhiyuan's torpedo!

IN FACT, CONSIDERING THE TRAGIC PERFORMANCE OF COMPRESSED AIR-POWERED TORPEDOES IN THIS ERA, IT IS ALMOST WISHFUL THINKING TO HIT A TARGET MOVING AT HIGH SPEED, BUT THE SPEED OF THE YOSHINO PLUMMETED WHEN DODGING, AND THE HUGE HULL WENT DIRECTLY SIDEWAYS, AND THE TWO 280MM SHELLS MADE YOSHINO AS SLUGGISH AS A HYENA WITH A BROKEN LEG, NO SPEED, NO MANEUVERABILITY, AND THE HULL WAS STILL HORIZONTAL! Without even thinking about it, the Zhiyuan fired a torpedo at a distance of only 500 meters, and less than a minute later, the already somewhat tilted hull of the Yoshino suddenly burst out with a huge column of water! With a loud bang, a large hole of 5 meters appeared on the side of the hull!
