If the eight capital ships of the Huaxia Navy and the Russian-Dutch fleet have been fighting back and forth and can maintain the balance of power on the scene for the time being, then after a long period of fighting, the strength and weakness of the armored cruisers on both sides have gradually become clear. Although it was 4 against 3, the Russian-Dutch navy gradually gained the upper hand, especially when the Rotterdam rebuilt the stuck main gun turret. "Silent Jack" has regained control of the battlefield!

Relying on thick armor and a new high-rate of fire gun, the Rotterdam locked the distance between the two sides within 5,000 meters, and the 10-inch 50L main gun at this distance had a chance to penetrate the 8-inch outer armor of the Dalian, while the Dalian could not threaten the 10-inch thickness, using Krupp's twice-hardened Rotterdam. The barrage formed by the seven 10-inch guns that had been re-energized was precisely shrouded around the Dalian. 6 guns against 7 guns seems to be a big difference, but in fact, it is not the same thing at all!

Once again, a crisp crash came from the side of the Rotterdam's hull...... A red fireball burst out, and the huge Rotterdam shook slightly, then returned to normal. The gunner of the Dalian couldn't help but look at the enemy ship on the opposite side in a depressed way, how many times has this been? He couldn't remember it clearly, the distance between the two sides was very close, and at this distance, the hit rate of both sides was scary. The gunnery chief concluded that he had hit the opponent's sidestrings at least 6 times, but they were all bounced off by the thick armor belt, and except for the cracks and water ingress caused by cracks and cracks in a few places, the repeated shelling of the Dalian did not have much impact on the opponent..........

That is, the attack of the turret in the mission, temporarily incapacitating it. But unless the barrel is blown off directly, it can be repaired after a while, which makes the Huaxia Navy feel extremely surprised. IN FACT, THE REASON IS VERY SIMPLE, ORIGINALLY THE DUTCH PLANNED TO INSTALL A 274MM MAIN GUN, AND THE DESIGN OF THE GUN RING WAS BASED ON THE TWIN 11-INCH MAIN GUN, BUT IN THE END, IT WAS IN THE TONNAGE AND COST REASONS. Or chose a 10-inch gun. This allows for a considerable margin between the turret and the turret, as long as the turret does not deform and jam the turret, mechanical vibrations and minor faults can be eliminated.

But look at each other. The Rotterdam's hit was bloody! THE 10-INCH 50L MAIN GUN WAS ENOUGH TO PENETRATE THE 8-INCH THICK SIDECHORD ARMOR WITHIN 5 KM, AND THE DALIAN'S SIDECHORD WAS OCCASIONALLY PIERCED BY SHELLS, ALTHOUGH THE DOME ARMOR IN THE BACK BLOCKED THE FLYING SHRAPNEL AND EXPLOSIONS. But water ingress and damage to the core compartment was already inevitable. Rumble! Boom! A series of crashing and tearing sounds came from the side chord of the Dalian again, and another shell pierced the side chord of the Dalian without any suspense, making a large hole of about one square meter at the side waterline, and the whole piece of armor was violently impacted and twisted. The edge of the break is rolled inward. The fragments produced after the breakdown were accompanied by the cannonballs and hit the dome armor in the back! …。

THE 60MM THICK DOME ARMOR EVENTUALLY TURNED INTO A CLOUD OF FRAGMENTS ALONG WITH THE SHELL. Countless high-speed metal pieces continued to move forward after penetrating the dome armor, countless large and small fragments hit the wall made of highly elastic steel behind the dome armor, part of the shrenchnel was blocked, and the impact sound like rain hitting plantains came from the outside, making the entire power cabin feel a trace of fear, and in just a few seconds, people felt that they were spinning around outside the ghost gate.

Just as the damage management team was approaching the damaged opening with cork boards, pumping machines, bolts and other plugging materials on their backs. While the stoker in the boiler room continued to refuel the battleship, another shell hit almost the same position! The sidestring armor, which had just received the fatal blow 2 minutes earlier, was directly removed from the backplate by the massive force of the impact. A huge hole appeared on the side of the hull! The cannonball passed through the outer protection of the battleship almost unhindered, and the shrapnel that was wrapped in it instantly flew the flesh and blood of the Chinese Navy officers and soldiers working nearby, and then the shell with a complete body hit the dome armor fiercely, this time the dome armor that had saved the power compartment many times could no longer hold on, and the cannonball that retained the huge power tore the dome armor like slicing cream and then the shell flew into the boiler room of the Dalian! …………。

A loud bang came from the amidships of the Dalian's hull, and the shell luckily smashed a running boiler to pieces. The powerful energy generated by the explosion of high-pressure steam and explosives instantly swept through the entire boiler room, although all the boilers were placed in 2 separate cabins, but under the impetus of high-pressure steam, all kinds of debris ignored the thin next door, and soon filled the entire boiler room with a fire full of destruction and high-temperature and high-pressure steam, a Chinese naval sergeant who was severely scalded opened the pressure relief valve with his blistered arm at the last moment of his life, and the steam was quickly vented out, avoiding continuous explosions, Although not a single officer and soldier survived in the entire boiler compartment, the Dalian was at least not immediately torn to pieces by the violent explosion.

Losing power and the entire side was badly flooded, the silence of the Dalian was only a matter of time. Looking at the gradually tilting Dalian, "Silent Jack" showed a hint of a smile. "The turning point of this war is up to me!" looked at the Tianjin that was fighting with the Varyag in the back. and the three armored cruisers in the back that were covered in fire by picric high-explosive shells. Jack couldn't help but imagine the future. After completely solving the Dalian...... The free Rotterdam can help the Sealand Province quickly destroy the two old Garibaldi-class armored cruisers, and then can help the Varyag, which is afraid of death, to destroy the Tianjin, and the once dominant Chinese armored cruiser formation will be wiped out in this battle! …。

As for the remaining 4 capital ships? Under the siege of 7 capital ships of the Russian and Dutch Navy, even evacuation has become a luxury! The speed is far inferior to that of the opponent, and in terms of firepower, the Russian-Dutch navy has an overwhelming advantage, in this case, even if the opponent is a solid iron turtle! The powerful Russian-Dutch fleet is also enough to sink it! If this detachment is lost, the Russian-Dutch Navy will have a huge advantage over the Chinese Navy! Thus changing the entire battle situation! And what will change the tide of the war? It started with the destruction of Dalian by his Rotterdam!

If you are proud, you may get carried away! And at this time. Jack, who has always been calm and calm, has indeed played a little, and the Huaxia Navy did not give up when it was at a disadvantage, and a lightning strike against Russia and the Netherlands kicked off under the cover of the smoke screen of the Dalian! Because of the constant mid-to-close engagement, the Rotterdam was very close to the Dalian, and at this time, the Dalian was spewing out a large amount of smoke and water vapor due to the damage to the power compartment, and the thick smoke screen blocked a considerable area in front of the Rotterdam! The 6 torpedo boats of the Huaxia Navy seized this precious opportunity and divided into two teams to launch lightning strikes on the Rotterdam from both sides!

Rotterdam observers saw several blurred figures rushing out from both sides of the Dalian. The slender hull loomed under the smoke screen, and just as the observers were about to inform their superiors, two light cruisers quickly approached the Rotterdam and fired high-explosive shells from their 6-inch guns to suppress the Rotterdam. This kind of tactics that seems to ordinary people to be pure death makes Jack, who was a little carried away just now, suddenly realize what ..........

"Turn. Distance yourself from all enemy ships. Let all the auxiliary warships cover the fleet! Jack immediately ordered, and the Dutch naval capital ship then veered a compass point to the left and accelerated towards the Varyag. The two light cruisers swept the deck Jack naturally would not be afraid, afraid that the other party would launch a lightning strike under the cover of the light cruiser! And because of the Rotterdam's turn, the three lightning strikers of the Huaxia Fleet that entered from the northeast were diagonally facing the side of the Rotterdam and attacked first!

2 RUSSIAN TORPEDO BOATS BRAVELY MET IT, AND THE TORPEDO BOATS OF BOTH SIDES FIRED FIERCELY WITH 47MM RAPID-FIRE GUNS! With a speed of nearly 60 knots, the distance between the two sides is quickly approached to only about 2,000 meters! At this time, a torpedo boat of the Huaxia Navy suddenly broke away from the queue, and then slightly deflected its course, drawing an arc on the sea surface! At the closest distance to the Russian torpedo boat at the arc, the rotating torpedo tubes in the amidships of the hull were aimed at the Russian torpedo boats that wanted to step forward desperately! …。

Three slender white objects entered the water one after another under the propulsion of compressed air, and then 3 white tracks rushed towards the stunned Russians! Three torpedoes in a fan-shaped division at a distance of less than 800 meters made it impossible for Russian torpedo ships to evade! After narrowly dodging two shots, the third one finally hit the hull of the torpedo boat! UP TO 150KG OF HIGH EXPLOSIVES DIRECTLY BLEW THIS SMALL BOAT OF ONLY 90 TONS TO SMITHEREENS! The overwhelming debris made the Russian mine-strike ship behind suffer! The dense fragments were no less powerful than shrapnel, and directly smashed the hull of the unlucky ghost behind! It's like being hit by a near-missable heavy artillery shell...... The torpedo boat also stopped! . …。

Although the interceptor force was successfully defeated, the remaining two torpedo boats were defeated in the dense rain of bullets on the Rotterdam, one of them was shattered by the dense fire before it could enter the torpedo range, and the other torpedo boat was successfully dodged by the opponent after hastily firing the torpedo! The torpedo boats of the Chinese Navy, fully armed, could only turn away. And another group of lightning strike formations with hidden backstrokes are on the scene!

Two light cruisers constantly swept the deck of the Rotterdam with 6-inch high-explosive shells. Although the Rotterdam is powerful, but in the battle with the Dalian just now, the side chord of the secondary guns are also damaged, and its firepower can no longer be compared with the heyday, and the main gun because of the problem of the firing range, only 4 guns can be used, so in the face of the high-speed accumulation of more than 10 6-inch rapid-fire guns at medium and close range, the rear deck of the Rotterdam that can only be used by a few guns is covered with flames and flames. In a short time, two light cruisers cut into the battle line at the right angle and successfully suppressed the opponent's anti-lightning fire! And then, the 3 assassins hiding behind the light cruiser finally revealed their sharp knives!
