As a result, the 12 10-inch 50L guns outside Semarang made Ye Zusi's fleet very depressed! The heavy reinforced concrete cover and the terrain made it very difficult for Ye Zusi's fleet to destroy these artillery. Want to get up close and find a dead end? Forget it, there are mines on the sea. This was just discovered by the light cruisers that were exploring the way ahead, and Ye Zusi could not clear these mines without minesweepers. With the exception of the main gun, all secondary guns have no range. Ye Zusi's abacus is smashed. And that's not all. The Dutch actually placed smoke canisters near the fort, and the smoke was raised to hinder the observation of the Chinese navy. As for how you asked the Dutch to shoot? The reason for this is simple: the Dutch artillery and sighting were not together, and those sighting points communicated the data to the various gun positions through telephone lines for firing. Although there are delays. But the Dutch themselves were not very confident that they would destroy the Huaxia battleship with a 10-inch gun. It's still important to protect yourself!

Facing the tortoise-like Dutch shore defense force in Semarang as if cowered in a turtle shell. Ye Zusi is not helpless. Because Ye Zusi came over this time, he didn't have trouble with these "cement battleships". Your turtle shell is strong, I can't fight it? Anyway, my purpose is the dockyard and the factory, and if I can knock out the dock behind me without smashing the turtle, I don't have to get entangled with those turrets.

The specific method of operation has been done by the Chinese Xia Navy as early as the First Sino-Japanese War, that is, hot air balloons! Rise to hundreds of meters in the air to observe the impact point. Target designation for artillery. And taking into account the need for long-range shelling, all the dreadnoughts of the Chinese Navy were built to increase the elevation angle of their guns to 22 degrees! Plus a specially designed heavy bomb. The new 12-inch shells have a very good storage rate, and when combined with a large elevation angle, the firing range is very long. As for how accurate you say? Why is it too high precision to build a fixed dock 12KM away? As long as the Russian fleet does not come. The Huaxia Navy can fight slowly, even if there are only 2% hits, the inventory of 3 battleships running there is enough to pile the dock to death!

"Fire!" With a burst of vibration, the Longtai fired the first shot. In order to save ammunition, the Longtai still used a half-salvo to shoot the artillery, and with a huge roar, the first wave of 5 shells came out of their disembowels and flew towards the dock in the distance! And this time. The Dutch also suddenly understood something, the Chinese navy was directly attacking their own rear buildings and gave up the attack on the battery, facing this unprepared situation. The Dutch battery had four 10-inch guns in the firing range firing in vain, but because of the distance and the elevation angle of the guns themselves, they could only make a few splashes at sea.

Hit a huge dry dock up to 230 meters long and 50 meters wide. This Dongdong, which was several laps larger than the largest battleship, was really the best target. Although the distance is relatively far. But after 3 and a half rounds of salvo fire, there was still a shell that fell on the crane next to the dock, and the powerful high-explosive shell smashed directly on the base of the crane, accompanied by the explosion of dozens of kilograms of explosives, and the whole crane smashed towards the outside of the dock like a giant with a broken foot! The steel bracket more than ten meters high smashed heavily on top of a factory, smashing the machinery and people inside! And after obtaining the corrected data, the battleships Long Yang and Long Fei were also put into battle, and the design of 27 guns turned the entire dock and the nearby factory building into a sea of fire!

Picric high-explosive and shrapnel smashed all the people and machines trying to extinguish the fire, and fired only two volleys. It completely turned the dock into a sea of fire, and no one was spared from it. It took only five minutes from the first shot to the end of the shelling. The entire dockyard has been turned into a sea of fire, and in addition to the arson of picric acid, there is a yard next to it full of wood! These poles were meant to be balanced against the hull of the ship after the ship entered the dock. Moreover, the timber was still dry, so when a cannonball exploded on the lumber pile, the entire lumber mountain turned into a flaming mountain.

The dockyard soon ran out of attack value, and then, guided by the balloons, the three Longtai-class battleships turned their guns to the Dutch merchant ships that were neatly parked at the berths. Now the Dutch are completely dumbfounded, if they don't run, they may be killed by artillery, and if they run, you will definitely not be able to run past the three capital ships of the Chinese Navy! Shells fell on the berths one after another, and from time to time ships were hit by heavy shells, and 12-inch shells were absolutely fatal for civilian ships that lacked protection, watertightness, and were tragic in comparison. One of the 12-inch shells landed on the deck, directly penetrated 3 decks and exploded at the bottom of the hull, followed by a violent explosion that tore the hull plates! The crew of this ship didn't even have time to save themselves, and the whole ship sank to the bottom of the sea!

Looking at the thick smoke billowing from Semarang, the three armored cruisers of the Russian-Dutch Navy, which had been playing soy sauce on the periphery, couldn't help it. Led by the Rotterdam and followed by two Rurik-type cruisers, the three battleships slowly approached the Huaxia Navy and opened fire at the extreme range to disrupt the attack of the Huaxia Navy. Scattered columns of water continued to rise around the three Longtai-class battleships. Although he didn't dare to get too close, the firepower of as many as 24 10-inch guns still made the Longtai, which was at the head of the team, surrounded by a water curtain, and in the face of these three annoying guys, Ye Zusi also had to order the Longtai and Longyang to expel the opponents, and let the Longfei at the end continue to bombard.

When he saw two battleships as strong as lions approaching him, the armored cruiser like a hyena immediately turned around and withdrew. You can't put your life on the line. Three Russian armored cruisers played hide-and-seek with the Chinese Navy in this way. And the Huaxia Navy also expelled two warships, and one battleship continued to shell. Although the efficiency has dropped significantly, as long as there is enough time, the thousands of main gun shells on the Longfei are enough to beat Semarang into ruins. Just when the two sides were in this mushroom, the pillars of smoke that appeared on the horizon changed the situation on the battlefield!

"Makanov is finally here. It's time for us to go back, too. Looking at the increasingly thick column of smoke on the sea level, Ye Zusi felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Since the start of the war, his fleet has been in a state of dissatisfaction, as a master he only fought with 2 Russian cruisers, and then attacked Semarang, but Lin Yongsheng experienced two fierce battles, although he did not destroy a capital ship of the other side, but his ability still can't help but admire, how to say? The current Ye Zusi has some inferiority complex and shame in his heart.

But at this moment, Ye Zusi also knew in his heart that he had to go, as the other party got closer and closer, in terms of scale, there were only 4 dreadnoughts in it, this was a real battleship, and there was no problem of poor protection. There are also various auxiliary warships gathered around, plus the armored cruiser detachment that has been dangling in front of him and waiting for an opportunity to attack, Ye Zusi knew that he couldn't leave late, so the Longtai and Longyang began to turn to join the Longfei, and then began to speed up preparations for evacuation. The situation on both sides reversed, and the three armored cruisers suddenly had the mind of a war, and they did not hesitate at all, but caught up!

"Stupid!" Watching the three armored cruisers rush towards the Chinese fleet, Yezusi and Makanov spat out the same words at the same time. Makanov ordered the avant-garde fleet to keep a distance from the Huaxia Navy while ordering the fleet to speed up, while Yezusi ordered the three battleships to teach these daring guys a good lesson with a half-salvo! Although the speed of the two teams of 6 warships was very fast, the relative displacement was not large because they sailed in the same direction, so the battleships of the three Huaxia Navy quickly completed the shooting, and in less than 5 minutes, they turned into the effective firing stage!

ALMOST AT THE SAME TIME, THE RUSSIAN ARMORED CRUISER ALSO ENTERED THE EFFECTIVE FIRE WITH A HIGH RATE OF FIRE, A 12-INCH HEAVY GUN SHELL AND A 10-INCH SHELL HIT THE BATTLESHIPS OF BOTH SIDES ALMOST SIMULTANEOUSLY, AND THE 227KG SHELL CRASHED INTO THE DRAGON YANG, WHICH WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LINE, WITH A THUNDEROUS FORCE. But such a powerful shot did not pose any threat to the heavily armored Long Yang, the heavy armor directly bounced the shell to the side, and then the shell exploded when it entered the water, exploding a column of water! The 12-inch shell of the Long Yang was smashed on the bow tower of the Rotterdam, this high-explosive shell, there was no way, the ammunition brought up was not finished, and it was not hard enough to send it to the ammunition depot, so it was used improvised.

The huge explosive force of the shell that hit the bow directly tore a large hole in the hull, and under the impetus of the high-charge explosives, it could not withstand the blows of dozens of kilograms of explosives and hundreds of kilograms of fragments in the solid neighborhood, and the entire bow tower instantly turned into a sea of fire, the medical cabin located in the bow of the ship was completely burned down, and the anchor compartment was also damaged to varying degrees. The effect of this cannon was very good, and it directly made the Dutch recognize the situation, and then the strongest secondary capital ship in the world began to turn, and sailed towards the main fleet in a gray manner, like a defeated wild dog with its tail between its legs and fled back.

And in the following days, Makanov's biggest feeling to Yezusi was that this guy was definitely an old fox, too cunning and too patient, and the whole huge fleet followed Yezusi not far away, whenever he wanted to shell the port, this fleet would always arrive quickly, Makanov had been following Yezusi, just like a pack of wolves attacking horses, through continuous long-term tracking and finally let the horses run out of energy and then give a fatal blow, Ye Zusi's fleet was limited by fuel, and it was impossible to completely get rid of Makanov's fleet, so at the end of the day, Ye Zusi felt that it was too little significance to go on like this, so the Java Sea raid, which was originally very good, was forced to end hastily.

The entire fleet headed northeast under the leadership of Ye Zusi, where it was the Makassar Strait, where there were 7 battleships of the main fleet of the Chinese Navy and a large number of auxiliary warships. Makanov did not dare to enter at all. In this way, under the "escort" of Makanov's main fleet, Yezusi sailed into the Makassar Strait with all the remaining warships, and then sailed to the mainland, after 2 weeks of sailing and fighting, the battleships and personnel needed to be adjusted. The task in the next stage is nothing to do with Ye Zusi. And the main force of the Chinese Navy did not mean to enter the Java Sea. The main fleets of both sides are looking at each other from afar!
