"Don't fight them, we're targeting those two big ships." In the face of the rushing escort warships, the four Snow Leopard-class light cruisers did not care, and all of them directly forced the opponent back with a rain of bullets, and then quickly approached the two Bayan-class armored cruisers. "Look for death!" Facing the light cruiser formation of the Chinese Navy that threw off the escort warships, Folk Hill couldn't help but sneer. "Are you really planning to rely on 4 light cruisers to hold the cruisers? It's a bit naïve. ”

IN THE FACE OF A 10-INCH 50L HEAVY ARTILLERY SHELL, WHAT IS THE 70MM ARMOR? 140MM IS NOT NECESSARILY ENOUGH! As long as the other party dares to come up, the 12 10-inch guns are guaranteed to let the Huaxia Navy know what it means to smash eggs with a hammer! The main guns of the 2 armored cruisers slowly turned, slowly aiming at the light cruisers of the Huaxia Navy that were approaching at high speed, and the other party seemed to be ignorant of their fate and continued to charge to death! "They actually want to grab the T-shaped crosshead!" A Russian officer burst out laughing.

Grabbing the T head is the only way in naval warfare, and it is better to grab it than not to grab it. But there is a premise for this, that is, the difference in strength between the two sides is not too big, if the gap is large, even if it is grabbed, what if it is grabbed? It's like two Moltke battlecruisers fighting two Bavarian-class battleships, and they can't beat them if they catch them. By the same token, what if the Snow Leopard-class light cruiser grabs the T-head now? Fighting artillery battles, defeat is a matter of minutes!

"Commander, they're releasing smoke!" Just when the opponent was about to enter his effective range, clouds of smoke suddenly came out from the 4 light cruisers, and it didn't take long. 4 battleships were hidden in the smoke, and a wall of fog was directly blocked in front of the Russian fleet! "Huh?" Falk Hill was really a little confused, but he looked at the Longtai-class battleships that were chasing closer and closer. Falk Hill thinks it's better to run out of the city quickly!

"Torpedo! A torpedo shot from the port side! Just then, the sentry at the observation post suddenly shouted through the microphone. Beneath the surface of the sea, a white trail emerged from behind the wall of fog! "Damn it!" Obviously, the other party is also not very accurate because of the smoke, and he can completely dodge, but once he chooses to dodge, the entire fleet navigation will inevitably change. With a gloomy face, Major General Falk Hill ordered the helmsman to dodge the dark arrow with his right helm.

After "whew" for 2 minutes, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as I watched the torpedo cross the stern of the boat, but I didn't wait for this breath to even. Suddenly, a slender figure burst out of the dense fog, because the view was blocked, and it seemed that the battleship did not realize its situation at the first time. After the secondary guns on the Crimea behind sounded, the battleship discovered the position of the Russian patrol, and then without saying a word, the Huaxia light cruiser fired 2 more torpedoes, and then turned around and fled into the smoke without even looking!

"Ugh." Look at the two torpedoes that are coming one after the other. The black lines on the head of Falk Hill. To say that this torpedo is not very good, you don't need to dodge and can't hit, but the worst thing is that these two torpedoes are basically parallel to their own tracks, if the two armored cruisers want to turn left and break away from the Chinese naval fleet, it is equivalent to giving up their own side to let the torpedo hit! So Falk Hill had to keep the fleet parallel to the torpedoes, wait until the torpedoes had passed, and then turn on its own, but this would be equivalent to going about 5 kilometers in a north-easterly direction! The distance from the Longtai battle group not only did not widen. Instead, it shrunk! In this way, the chance of the other party catching up is greater!

These four light cruisers of the Chinese Navy were like ghosts that could not be shaken off, and under the cover of the smoke canisters that were constantly spewing out, they used torpedoes to delay time. This seemed to Falk Hill to be too chatty and incredible, and in his opinion, the torpedo was at most a disrupted formation or a badly damaged battleship. For example, in World War II, an NB British destroyer successfully lightning the battle cruiser Scharnhorst under the cover of smoke, although it was destroyed at the end, but the bravery and wit of the British made the Germans have to admire. And the Yamato was also treated by the Bayan in Wright, and was escorted by the "torpedoes" for several kilometers before being able to turn around!

Just when it was entangled with the Huaxia light cruiser, the rangefinder at the top of the mast of Ye Zusi's flagship Longtai finally locked the Bayan in the camera, and the three triple main guns arranged along the central axis also began to rotate slowly, aiming at the fleeing Russian armored cruiser, "The distance is 11KM, and the half-salvo is ready to fire!" The gunslinger commanded. After comparison, the Longtai-class fast battleship with only 9 main guns obviously had the problem of insufficient firepower density if it used 3-stage fire, so after several trade-offs, it still used 4 and 5 semi-salvos for comparative firing.

When the data of the fire control settlement was transmitted to the gun positions, with a loud bang, the three turrets of the Longtai launched the first wave of attacks since the start of the war! Four 12-inch shells pierced the sky and flew towards the Russian battleship 10 kilometers away with a piercing scream! Soon after the Longtai fired, the Longyang and Longfei also fired the first salvo, and three rounds of 12 shells fell successively around the Bayan and the Crimea within a minute, and a column of water enveloped the two Russian armored cruisers.

"All auxiliary ships charge the enemy dreadnought, repeat, all auxiliary ships charge the enemy dreadnought!" On the Bayan, the heralds repeated the order to attack the suicide attack. After a short hesitation, 2 Russian light cruisers and 4 destroyers finally turned around and launched a decisive charge against the approaching Chinese fleet!

"The courage of the Russians is commendable, they are able to fulfill their duties even in the most dangerous moments, but the reality is cruel, and a heart of blood does nothing but interpret their courage. Looking at the battlefield from my position, I couldn't see the charging Russian battleships at all, their formation was surrounded by water curtains, and from time to time there was an explosion from inside, which should have been a battleship destroyed by heavy artillery, whether it was a light cruiser or a destroyer, almost all of them were killed by one shot in the face of 12-inch heavy guns. In his diary, a German naval officer described the decisive charge of the Russian Navy's auxiliary warships.

"It's too fast." Deng Shichang was also shocked by the powerful power of his own fleet, and 6 auxiliary warships, large and small, were torn to pieces by 3 Longtai-class fast battleships 5KM away from him. At the height of the conning tower, Deng Shichang could only find the fireballs rising from time to time behind the water curtain, and even at the same moment, two Russian warships were hit at the same time, two loud noises were connected, and countless parts were thrown into the air for hundreds of meters, and then scattered on the sea.

The last to break out of the water was only a Russian light cruiser, and the Russian officers and men on this battleship gave up the courage to continue the battle and turned and fled. Just when the desperate charge of the auxiliary fleet was disintegrated, the two armored cruisers commanded by Rear Admiral Fokker Hill were also making the most desperate attempt, at this time the smoke at sea had dissipated, and the light cruisers of the 4 Huaxia Navy were exposed to the dark muzzle, in the face of the Russian armored cruisers that occupied absolute superiority, the courage of the 4 light cruisers was not inferior to that of Russia, they were using their own fragile artillery and torpedoes and blood to delay the retreat of the Russian army!

IN THE FACE OF LIFE AND DEATH, THE POTENTIAL OF THE RUSSIANS HAS ALSO BEEN STIMULATED TO THE LIMIT, THE GUNS ON THE TWO BAYAN-CLASS ARMORED CRUISERS CONTINUE TO JUMP WITH DEADLY FLAMES, LIKE RAINDROPS OF SHELLS CONTINUE TO FALL IN THE CHINESE LIGHT CRUISER, 120MM SECONDARY ARTILLERY FIRE IS WEAK, BUT THE 10-INCH GUN IS UNDOUBTEDLY A BIG KILLER FOR A LIGHT CRUISER WITH ONLY 70MM WATERLINE ARMOR, THE TWO SIDES FOUGHT FOR 10 MINUTES, AND A 10-INCH SHELL EASILY PENETRATED THE BOW OF A LIGHT CRUISER. PERHAPS BECAUSE OF THE USE OF ARMOR-PIERCING SHELLS, THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE EXPLOSION OF THIS SHELL AFTER PENETRATING THE BOW OF THE SHIP WAS NOT LARGE, AND THE SUBSEQUENT SHELL HIT THE LIGHT CRUISER'S CONNING TOWER, THE ARMOR-PIERCING PROJECTILE WEIGHING 227KG EASILY TURNED THE ENTIRE CONNING TOWER INTO FRAGMENTS, AND THEN UNDER THE ACTION OF THE FUSE, THE ENTIRE CONNING TOWER TURNED INTO A TORCH, AND AFTER A SINGLE SHOT, THE TOP COMMAND OF THE LIGHT CRUISER WAS KILLED.

Immediately, the whole battleship seemed to be unconscious, but this situation only lasted half a minute, and under the leadership of one of the surviving captains, the battered light cruiser was once again thrown into the battle columns, launching a never-ending attack on the opponent! The Russian Navy was angry and fired at the formation of Huaxia light cruisers, and the battleships of the Huaxia Navy continued to be shot and burst into flames, but none of them left the battle, and they used their blood and lives to interpret what the spirit of sacrifice is.

The battle between the two sides lasted only 20 minutes, but even in such a short period of time, the 4 Huaxia light cruisers were completely suppressed in the face of 2 Russian cruisers, and the 6-inch naval guns could not bring a fatal blow to the opponent at all, while the opponent's 12 10-inch guns could be described as a knife to the point! Although the Huaxia Navy tried its best to resist, there was still a light cruiser's bomb conveyor that was pierced by a 10-inch gun, and the scorching flames and high-speed shrapnel hit the fire door, tearing it to pieces, and the officers and men of the Huaxia Navy were either killed or injured in the ammunition depot! In the face of the surging flames, a Chinese naval officer and soldier who had already broken his legs opened the sea valve at the last moment to fill the ammunition depot! "The ammunition depot has been filled with water, don't worry." Through the microphone, this officer and soldier said the last sentence of his life! Stand on the last shift!

"Never give in, never give up!" In the face of one heavy attack after another, the light cruiser formation of the Huaxia Navy did not flinch, and they entangled the opponent to the death, so that the two Russian armored cruisers could not break away at high speed! Just as the Crimea opened a big hole in the side chord of another light cruiser of the Chinese Navy, 12-inch shells rained down on the Russian fleet! The Longtai-class battle group has finally included the opponent in its effective strike range! Death strikes at this moment!
