This decisive battle between the Chinese and Japanese navies was seized by the Chinese navy almost from the very beginning. Not only in the duel of light ships, but also firmly occupy the advantage. In the duel of capital ships, the Japanese Navy was suppressed. It can be seen how obvious the advantage of the Imperial Navy in this battle was. The Japanese Navy, which was at a disadvantage, was now just a trapped beast fighting and struggling to support it. Although, the Japanese Navy has not yet sunk its capital ships, and it still has a very strong combat power. However, being sunk by the capital ship of the Imperial Navy, it seemed that it was only a matter of time.

"The battleship 'Yasukai' performed well, and it was able to compete with the battleship 'Omi' in small Japan. It seems that we underestimated them. Admiral Liu Guanxiong, commander of the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Navy, said.

"Hmmm! The sinking of the battleship "Pinghai" gave us a great shock. However, now it seems that the 'Jinghai' is still performing very well. Of course, the defense of the battleship 'Jinghai' was too weak. Once hit, the consequences are relatively large. Lieutenant General Li Dingxin said. The defensive problem was the biggest weakness of the battleship Jinghai, and it was also the biggest gap between it and the capital ships of the Imperial Navy.

"Perhaps, the battleship 'Yasukai' will be able to hit the Japanese battleship 'Omi' first. In this way, we have a greater advantage. Admiral Liu Guanxiong said optimistically. Now that the Imperial Navy has occupied an absolute advantage, his whole person has become much easier, and he is no longer as impatient as before.

"Boom!" At this time, the battleship 'Fuxi' shook violently. Admiral Liu Guanxiong did not stand firm and fell directly to the deck. At the same time, his face became very ugly.

"Damn, we were hit. What about the losses? Admiral Liu Guanxiong asked loudly.

Two minutes later, the captain came to report: "Your Excellency, Commander." The No. 2 gun on the foredeck was hit. However, the shells were not able to penetrate the armor. The gunners in the turret were killed. Other than that, there was no other damage. ”

"Order the gunners who are ready to enter the turret immediately and be sure to resume firing as soon as possible." Admiral Liu Guanxiong breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Imperial Navy's 'Three Emperor-class' battleships were heavily armoured. If this time the turret armor is torn apart, the consequences will be serious.

"Yes. Commander. The captain nodded.

The spare gunners entered the turret and lifted the gunners out who had been killed, and then they continued to maneuver the main gun to launch an artillery attack on the Japanese Navy's battleship Kii.

When the battleship "Fuxi" was hit, the battleship "Kii" of the Japanese Navy resounded one after another with the sound of "onboarding." Even General Yutakeshita had a smile on his face. He even wondered if his prayers were really heard by Amaterasu.

"It would be great if you could penetrate the turret armor of the Shina and explode inside. If you can detonate the ammunition depot under the turret. It is also the flagship that can solve the Chi Na people with one shot. In that case, we will win the naval battle. Admiral Isamu Takeshita couldn't help but wonder. Such a situation is not impossible in naval warfare. It's just that this time, General Takeshita is obviously thinking too much. The battleship 'Fuxi' did not explode more violently, and even after the smoke cleared, it was clear that the battleship 'Fuxi' did not suffer much damage. Soon, the damaged main turret was able to continue firing. This made the conjecture of General Takeshita completely shattered.

"Damn the Shina people. How could they be so lucky. General Takeshita couldn't help but scold.

"Your Excellency, the people of China cannot always be lucky. We were able to hit them once. to be able to hit them more times. When the time comes, the people of China will definitely be sunk. Lieutenant General Keisuke Okada said.

"That's right, Chief of Staff. The real battle has just begun. The Imperial Navy of the Imperial Japanese Empire has already shown great strength. We will definitely win this battle. Admiral Isamu Takeshita said.

However, in the next second, the resolute expression on his face became a little embarrassed. Just as he finished saying this. The battleship 'Shennong' of the Imperial Navy once again hit the battleship 'Owari'.

A 410-mm shell hit the No. 4 main turret in the stern of the battleship 'Owari'. The turret armor, which was only 305 mm thick, apparently did not withstand 410 mm shells. The shell exploded inside the turret, destroying the main turret as a result. Meantime. Because the two main turrets on the rear deck of the Kii-class battleship were piggybacked, the No. 4 main turret was destroyed and smashed on the No. 5 main turret, making the main turret lose the strength to continue fighting.

The loss of two main turrets cost the battleship Owari forty percent of its firepower. However, the captain of the ship, Miyamura Hirozo Osa, was relieved. Thankfully, when they were hit, they had just fired a salvo. There were neither shells nor ****** in the turret. Otherwise, it would undoubtedly cause a martyrdom and cause even more damage to the battleship Owari. If you don't get it right, you may be sunk.

However, even so, after losing forty percent of its firepower, the battleship 'Owari' posed a lower threat to the battleship 'Shennong' of the Imperial Navy. The battleship Shennong was able to bombard the battleship Owari with more powerful artillery fire until the battleship was sunk.

"Order the battleship 'Owari' and continue to hold on to the fight. We must find a way to drag the battleship 'Shennong' of the Chinese people. If you can, it's best to sink the other party. Admiral Isamu Takeshita ordered. The current situation is very unfavorable to the Japanese Navy. Therefore, it was impossible for him to withdraw the battleship 'Owari' from the battle. What's more, the battleship 'Owari' still has three main turrets to fire, and the firepower is still very strong.

At 10:32 a.m., the Japanese Navy's battleship Omi lived up to expectations and hit the Imperial Navy's battleship Yasukai. A 410-millimeter shell hit the bow of the battleship 'Jinghai', directly blasting a large hole in the bow deck, burning fiercely and filling the air with thick smoke.

However, before the battleship "Omi" could expand its results, the battleship "Jinghai" was still colored. A 410-mm shell was also sent into the amidships of the battleship 'Omi', directly blowing up a secondary gun, and at the same time detonating a bunch of secondary artillery shells, igniting a raging fire.

At 10:36, the Imperial Navy's battleship 'Regulus' scored the first hit in this naval battle. Although, the battleship 'Xuanyuan' has long been formed to straddle fire. However, in the previous shelling, it was slow to hit the target. Well, now they've finally hit.

A 410-mm shell fired from the battleship "Regulus" hit the aft deck of the battleship "Suruga". After the shell exploded, it destroyed the No. 5 main turret located in the stern, causing the battleship Suruga to lose one-fifth of its firepower.

This was just the beginning, and three minutes later, the battleship 'Regulus' hit the battleship 'Suruga' again. A shell hit the side of the battleship 'Suruga'. With only 292 mm of side armor, it was clearly not able to withstand 410 mm shells. Even more lethal, the shell hit near the waterline on the side of the battleship Suruga. The tremendous force of the shell explosion tore a large hole in the waterline armor of the Suruga. From this big hole, the sea water poured into the battleship in a frenzy.

The captain of the ship, Setsuo Takahashi, hurriedly ordered the damage management personnel to be dispatched to plug the loophole. It's just that the hole that was blown out was too big. By the time the damage management personnel arrived, two compartments had already been filled with seawater. As a last resort, the Japanese Navy had no choice but to close the watertight door to isolate the two compartments.

However, due to the influx of seawater, the hull of the battleship Suruga had tilted slightly. This had a great impact on the combat power of the battleship Suruga.

The capital ships of the Japanese Navy were hit one after another and suffered serious injuries, which made the situation of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet in this naval battle more and more unfavorable. And the victory they want is getting farther and farther away from them.

"Yaga, how can this be!" Admiral Isamu Takeshita also realized that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable for them. In this naval battle, I am afraid that they will not only not win, but may also lose. In the event of defeat, then not only the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy will be finished. The whole of Japan will be doomed, too.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

At this time, three huge explosions came from the battleship 'Owari' of the Japanese Navy. The first explosion was a 410-mm shell fired by the battleship Shennong of the Imperial Navy, which hit the No. 1 turret on the foredeck of the battleship Owari. The shell tore through the turret armor and exploded inside. The second explosion was when the shell detonated two 410-mm shells and hundreds of kilograms of ****** in the turret, igniting a raging fire. The fire spread to the ammunition depot under the turret, and before the fire door could be closed, hundreds of 410-mm shells in the ammunition depot exploded.

Because there were three main turrets on the foredeck, the three ammunition depots were almost adjacent. Even if steel plates were used to separate them, they could not withstand the detonation of hundreds of shells. The force of the explosion was so great that all three ammunition depots were killed. This directly tore the front half of the battleship 'Owari' to shreds.

After Admiral Takeshita saw this scene, he couldn't help but look dark, he knew that the combined fleet was really finished this time. (To be continued.) )
