At the beginning of the war, Zhenyuan was unfortunately hit by a 10-inch cannon in the bow first, and the smoke from the bow directly affected its operation, so Makanov did not pay too much attention to this battleship with a great reduction in combat effectiveness for the time being, but went to destroy the flagship of the Beiyang Fleet first. FOLLOW - ME - READ WEN WEN - XUE XUE - LOU LOU BUILDING REMEMBER! However, although it was hit by a 10-inch gun, it hit the ship's hospital, not an important part, just put out the fire. So when Rurik stormed the Dingyuan, Zhenyuan followed and struck this blow!

"God, what kind of armor is this?" The distance between the two sides is only 2,000 meters, and a 12-inch 35L heavy artillery shell hit it and did not penetrate it! This made Lin Taizeng a little stupid. And at this time, the Rurik rushed towards the Zhenyuan like a mad lion! "What should we do with the military gate?" An officer next to him asked.

"Go up, meet the enemy, cover the retreat of the Dingyuan!" Lin Tai had never been able to defeat the monster in front of him that was nearly half bigger than himself! Even the most powerful 12-inch guns could not seriously damage it. And the opponent's 12-inch 40L heavy artillery can cut through the protection of Zhenyuan, as for the projection, the two sides are not a grade! But he didn't have a choice, because if he avoided it, it would be the general flagship of the Beiyang Fleet! Even if Zhenyuan is sunk. The general flagship of the Beiyang Fleet must not sink here either! Even if his sacrifice can only last for dozens of minutes of Dingyuan's life!

Two battleships marched opposite each other. One side is aggressive, and the other side has no hesitation. It's an unfair contest. A battle between a wolf and a tiger. A battle between an infantry man in chain mail and a short sword in his hand, and a heavy cavalryman in plate armor and a spear in his hand! If the character is hard enough, the opponent can take out the infantry in front of him with one shot, but the infantry's short sword, no matter how high the swordsmanship, cannot penetrate the opponent's plate armor.

"Captain Lin is a hero, and he deserves the respect of each and every one of us. If I could, I hope he survived this war. "Look at the 7,000-ton battleship in the distance, which is rushing towards him. Makanov wiped the blood from his head and said solemnly. A true warrior deserves anyone's respect.

Shells from both sides streaked through the air and flew towards the enemy ships. Soon, the Zhenyuan was surrounded by large and small water columns. At such a close distance, in the face of the Rurik, whose firepower projection was more than twice as high as his own, the firepower of the four 12-inch guns and a few 6-inch guns in Zhenyuan seemed so insignificant.

Soon, the high-rate 6-inch guns and 12-pounder guns were successful, and in 10 minutes, at least four more 6-inch shells and seven 12-pounder guns hit the side of the town. FOLLOW - ME - READ WEN WEN - XUE XUE - LOU LOU BUILDING REMEMBER! One 6-inch gun and two 12-pounder guns were destroyed. Although the Russians did not have picric ammunition, the dense rain of bullets still caused the town to ignite a large fire. However, fortunately, the 6-inch artillery could not penetrate the main equipment of Zhenyuan, and the core area was still safe.

"Hit." Zhenyuan's two 6-inch guns hit Rurik almost simultaneously, and one was spread out on the main belt. The other successfully ignited a dinghy on the Rurik. The wooden hull burned violently in a fire caused by picric acid.

"Shall we put out the fire first?" Toyarev asked.

"No need. Sink the town far away first. This ignition is no big deal. Makanov shook his head, time was short, as long as he could destroy Dingzhen in his plan, his strategic purpose would be achieved, as long as it did not affect the battle. Then leave it alone. Under Makanov's order, the Rurik got a little closer, and at this moment, a 10-inch artillery shell accurately hit the chimney in Zhenyuan, and the violent explosion directly broke the chimney into two sections, and the scattered shrapnel and the shock wave generated by the explosion directly destroyed the smoke exhaust equipment in Zhenyuan. As a direct result of this cannon, half of the flue in Zhenyuan was destroyed. Poor smoke exhaust led to the fact that Dingyuan had to shut down half of the boilers. Plummeting speed!! …,

"Work harder, Zhenyuan will be finished!" A sneer appeared at the corner of Makanov's mouth.

But there is a saying that happiness begets sorrow, just when Makanov was full of ambition. Suddenly, the sound of cannonballs streaking through the air alerted him! Just a few seconds later, Makanov felt the hull being struck by countless heavy hammers! Although the force was not great, the dense sound of impact and explosion made him shudder.

"3 enemy ships found on the starboard side!" "The starboard side was hit by several shells! The fire is out of control! "The sudden bad news and the fire on the right side of the hull made Makanov feel bad all of a sudden!" Qing fleet reinforcements are coming! Makanov's heart sank. A thought popped through his head.

Just as Makanov was running towards the sideline viewing window, Rurik was hit by two more shells, one hitting the bow of the ship. The smoke directly blocked the view of the Rurik's bow gun, and another shot hit the conning tower. The powerful shock brought Makanov to the ground again!

"Retreat, turn to retreat, retreat with the whole fleet." Makanov quickly gave the order, and he knew that even if the other party was Lin Yongsheng's three armored cruisers, it was not something that the Rurik could resist. Now the Bayan is saving itself, no matter how strong Rurik is, in the face of nearly 30 rapid-fire guns of various calibers such as 9 8-inch turret guns and 12 6-inch guns, Rurik is waiting to be swept off the deck! Once the fire is completely out of control, it is not impossible to burn down!

"Keep the fire going! Concentrated firing of the Rurik. Lin Yongsheng looked at the Rurik that was burning on the sea, and said excitedly. Just when Dingyuan and Zhenyuan couldn't support it, the fleet led by Lin Yongsheng finally arrived! Originally, in the case of bad weather, the accuracy of hitting 3000 meters would be very low. But there is an exception to everything, isn't it? The fire on the far side of the town made Lin Yongsheng realize that the situation was not good. In the gray sky, the huge figure of the Rurik loomed, which brought great problems to aiming, but suddenly, Rurik was shot in the middle of the body, and a ball of flames rose into the air! Illuminate the entire battleship! With such an obvious target indication, are you still afraid that you can't hit it accurately? So the three ships of Guiyuan opened fire together and swept the deck directly!

As a result, the Rurik, which was carrying the picric acid high-explosive bombs of three Beiyang fast cruisers, had to abandon Dingyuan and Zhenyuan. Immediately after that, he turned to prepare for the evacuation of the battlefield. The Bayan, which was behind Rurik, was using its four 8-inch guns at the bow and tail to suppress the target, and at the same time it also turned around. And the 2 armored cruisers Turquoise and Pearl and the 2 old ships Admiral Korninov and Leda went a little reluctantly.

It was at the time of the bloody battle between the Dingzhen Second Ship and the Rurik and Bayan. The Zhenhai, Laiyuan, and Jiyuan in the Beiyang Fleet were also on fire with the Turquoise and Pearl. The Zhenhai fought the Turquoise, while the Laiyuan and Jiyuan fought against the Pearl together.

"The Russians have such a fast rate of artillery fire!" Like Liu Buyun and others, as soon as they fought, Ding Zhuangqian found that the rate of fire of the opponent's main gun was very amazing. Don't look at your Zhenhai ship, there are 6 8-inch guns and 5 6-inch guns, but in actual fighting, the projection volume is not as much as the 4 8-inch guns and 4 6-inch guns on the opposite side. That is to say, the rate of fire of the opponent's turret 8-inch gun is at least one and a half times that of its own, which is almost a high rate of fire of 2 rounds in 1 minute!

But fortunately, the Beiyang side has experienced a hundred battles and has a relatively high hit rate. Zhenhai again, there are also 8 to 10 inches of steel-faced iron armor. Although the protective height is not enough, the problem of resisting 8-inch guns is not particularly big. And the shells are all high-explosive picric acid shells. This thing burns much stronger than the shells of Russian ships! So at the beginning, the Zhenhai and the Turquoise were not at a disadvantage!

Over time, though, things are different. The gun emplacements of the Turquoise are strictly protected by Harvey armor, while the gun emplacements of the Zhenhai are only steel-faced iron armor, and the gap in the protective area is huge. At the beginning, the Zhenhai ship was the first to hit, and an 8-inch shell and a 6-inch shell hit the hull of the Turquoise within a minute. However, after the explosion of the eight-inch shell weighing 100KG, only a small pit was left on its 6-inch main load, and nothing else had any effect, but the 6-inch shell hit the superstructure of the Turquoise and lit a fire that was not too big or small! …,

Subsequently, the Turquoise's bow main gun delivered an 8-inch high-explosive shell to one of the Zhenhae's gun galleries. The 100KG shell directly smashed through the protection of the 5-inch steel-faced iron armor, and blew the artillery and personnel in the gun gallery into pieces. And as this distance approached, the 12-pounder cannon on the turquoise swept the shells into the deck of the Zhenhai like raindrops, although it was not a picric acid charge, but even if it was black powder, it could still ignite it. Half an hour after the artillery battle, thick smoke billowed from the Zhenhae, and there were basically holes everywhere from the overtime work from the middle to the artillery deck to the upper bridge. Black smoke and flames erupted from the breach from time to time, and the gun emplacements were also relatively badly lost, and two 6-inch guns were knocked out. But it's okay to persevere.

The fact that Zhenhai can persist does not mean that Laiyuan and Jiyuan can insist. The Laiyuan is 2 8-inch guns and 2 6-inch guns, while the Jiyuan is 2 8-inch guns and 1 6-inch gun, which is not as good as the Pearl on the opposite side just by looking at the numbers! Not to mention that your 8-inch gun is still a terrace gun, people's 8-inch gun is a turret gun, and they have hardened armor protection covering the middle deck, and there is only a small strip of armor in the distance, and there is only a pair of pants in Jiyuan!!

How do you say this makes people fight? So from the beginning, the Laiyuan and Jiyuan were crushed to death by the fierce artillery fire of the Pearl. The officers and men of the Beiyang Naval Division fought hard to counterattack, but the 8-inch rate of fire of the terrace gun was too slow! THE BEIYANG OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS NEED TO LIFT THE HEAVY 100KG HIGH-EXPLOSIVE BOMB AND PROPELLANT PACK FROM THE BOMB MACHINE, AND THEN FOUR PEOPLE CAREFULLY USE TOOLS TO SEND THE SHELL INTO THE BARREL, AND THEN A GUNNER LOADS THE PROPELLANT AGAIN, AND FINALLY LOCKS IT AND AIMS AND FIRES. In order to prevent the gun gallery from being hit and causing the ammunition to detonate. All 2000-ton cruisers were not allowed to place excess ammunition and projectile packs in the main gun gallery. Fire doors must be closed without lifting a single shell or propellant. As a result, this move saved a life far away!

An 8-inch shell whizzed and crashed into the tail twin gun gallery of the Laiyuan. The huge penetrating force almost came from time to time, and the fragile gun cover directly smashed a 6-inch gun behind it into two sections, and then under the action of the fuse, the huge explosive force directly pushed a 6-inch gun from the gun mount! All personnel in the emplacements were killed by scattered shrapnel and flames. For a while, the aft deck of the Far was in shambles. Smoke, blood and broken artillery tell people what a horrific scene just happened.
