At 11:18 am on April 23, 1895, the first small-scale naval battle in human history, with a new warship with a fire control system against an old-time artificially targeted warship.

The cruiser's armor is weak, but it is flexible and is not suitable for forming a vertical battle line. This is fully proved in the Battle of the Yellow Sea. In the Battle of the Yellow Sea, Japanese ships met the enemy in a vertical manner, so Deng Shichang led the Zhiyuan to crash into Yoshino, but Yoshino was unable to play his maneuverability. Of course, this has a lot to do with Kozo Tsukizu Tsukizu, who was the president of the Japanese Navy University (now still). When it was confirmed that he would fight with Beiyang, Kozo Tsukizu Tsukizu called out many naval generals to do an experiment together. This experiment was to verify the war.

What kind of formation is the easiest to maintain during the fight? Tsukizuki asked the captain and deputy captain to take a small motorboat and wander around the Seto Inland Sea. It turned out that the Yizilong formation was easiest to maintain. The warships in the rear line did not need to consider anything, just follow the ship in front. However, Tsukizuki did not consider other factors. The enemy did not need to be aimed repeatedly. If one ship in the front line passed, it would directly kill the next one, which was equivalent to increasing the enemy's hit rate. Moreover, most Japanese fleets were cruisers and had no protective ability at all. The Yizilong formation made the cruiser completely lose its maneuver advantage.

When Li Zhu was watching the battle, he took a photographer to record the naval battle, but it was not complete. After seeing these images, the Navy officers had seen them, and Qin Ge clearly pointed out that cruisers should never use this one-character vertical formation, and explained the interests of cruisers' vertical formation.

Qin Zhennan would naturally not be so stupid as to set up a vertical formation. He ordered the ships to disperse and form a siege against the Japanese ships. At the same time, Chen Tianming saw Qin Zhennan coming to help and immediately began to turn.

The Cute USS. turned and was soon caught up by several Japanese ships following closely. In order to lure the Japanese ships, the Cute USS. and several Japanese ships remained at a distance of 4,000 to 5,000 meters. Two guns were hit at this distance. A lifeboat was blown up, and a hole was blown out on the deck of the stern. However, the Takachiho was not feeling well. The Cute USS. almost recognized Takachiho to attack. Now the waves are calm. The starboard main gun (stern turret) of the Cute USS. fires very fast, and it goes to Gao every minute.

Chiho fired more than 12 high-explosive bombs, and Chiho was hit by one to two 155 high-explosive bombs almost every minute. The 260mm cannon on the bow was also destroyed. The only remaining Krupp's 1880 150mm cannon, but these cannons were distributed on the side and were short-barrel cannons, which was meaningless to face advanced warships like Hawaii with long-range range. If it weren't for the idea that they would die today, Sadashi Nomura wanted to take the banner of "This ship has lost its combat effectiveness and has withdrawn from the battlefield."

The Cute, which is now turning, immediately became the target of the Japanese ship. Among them, the three 152mm rapid-fire guns on the bow of Yoshino fired the most fiercely. Because they used nitrofibers and did not need to clean the barrel, they could fire in 10 seconds. In this case, Yoshino exerted the firepower of the three main guns arranged in the shape of a "quality" bow, fully exerting the British's idea of ​​facing the enemy with the bow. Even the Takachiho, whose main gun was destroyed, attacked the Cute with the 57mm and 47mm rapid-fire guns on the ship, and even the 10-barrel 11.32mm Gatling gun happily tilted the bullet towards the Cute. The sailors who used the Gatling gun had their eyes red, gritted their teeth and roared and kept shaking the crank, as if the guns and guns hit the opponent, but in fact, the bullet could not even be fired.

When the Cute was turning, the Cute was hit by Yoshino's main gun, and a 77mm cannon on the side was blown up. Several sailors were also seriously injured, but were immediately carried away by the medical soldiers on the ship to rescue.

The Cute, who completed the steering, immediately exerted the firepower of the 6th main guns. The distance of 4,000 meters was completely flat. In the first round of volleys, he hit Yoshino's two methods, destroying a main gun on the starboard side of the bow of Yoshino, which was a response to Yoshino's destruction of a 77mm cannon.

At 11:47, Pearl City, Koloa and Lihue also joined the battle, and at 12:18, the Japanese ship formation was successfully divided to form a 1VS1 battle scene.

All Hawaiian ships maintained a distance of about 6,000 meters from the Japanese ships. The precise shelling and maneuverability far exceeding the Japanese ships made several captains on the Japanese ships unable to stop: they could not hit the target, and they could not run away.

The battle was completely one-sided. The opponent of Pearl City was Yoshino. At first, Qin Zhennan ordered the use of armor-piercing bombs, but the result was not satisfactory. The hit rate of the main gun at a distance of 6,000 meters was very high, but most armor-piercing bombs completely penetrated Yoshino's hull, and two of them even vibrators occurred due to the incident angle! Qin Zhennan quickly ordered the replacement of the high explosive bomb, and the effect was immediately different.

Kawahara still has a certain understanding of Hawaiian ships. The current battleship that attacks him should be the Hawaiian fleet's Oahu-class protective cruiser, equipped with 6 powerful artillery pieces of 210 mm and 52-caliber diameters. However, this powerful artillery attacks the Yoshino too strongly. The several shells hit before were penetrated through the hull.

After going through, except to shoot two holes, no damage was caused.

However, the other party seemed to have changed into a shell immediately. Just now, the port side hit a shot. The power of the explosion seemed no lower than that of the 305 shell in Dingyuan Zhenyuan. The damage manager reported that a large hole with a diameter of more than 1.5 meters was blown up on the port side, but it was located above the water line and there was no water inlet.

Kawahara sighed and said resolutely: "Left rudder! Let's turn around!"

"captain!"

"The strength difference is too big. Now our shells cannot hit them at all. This is not a battle of the same level. We will definitely lose. If we bump into it, like Deng Shichang, we will still be heroes of the empire after death!"

"Hi!" Everyone on the bridge responded.

"Captain, the enemy ship has begun to turn left!" the observer reported.

"Hmm?" Qin Zhennan picked up the telescope and observed it, and said, "Don't worry about it, continue to attack!"

"Bang!!"

Six shells roared towards Yoshino, and one of them hit the wall of a boiler furnace that penetrated Yoshino and then exploded, immediately exploded the boiler. The high-pressure steam in the boiler was immediately sprayed out. In just two seconds, the entire boiler exploded, and the high-temperature steam instantly steamed nearby sailors. These people died before they even shouted.

The explosion power of this boiler is much higher than the 210mm high-explosive bomb. The boiler next to it exploded one after another after being impacted. The steam pressure was lost, and the steam engine immediately stopped operating. The wheel chamber immediately reported: "Most of the boilers were destroyed, and the steam engine has stopped operating!"

"Nani!!?"

"Stack the boiler room of the enemy ship!" the observer shouted.

In fact, without the need for observers, Qin Zhennan knew that a large hole was blown out of the port side of the Yoshino ship, coupled with the diffuse steam, could be seen with the naked eye from thousands of meters away.

"Be careful with the fire control room, Yoshino has stopped, sink it as soon as possible, we will go to help others."

"Bang!!!" an explosion rang through the sky.

The observer immediately reported: "The Takachiho ammunition depot was hit, the hull was broken and it was sinking!"

"What!?" Qin Zhennan and Chen Chiyun immediately observed with telescopes and found that the hull of the Gao Qiansui was sinking from the broken part, the bow and stern of the ship slowly raised, and the propeller at the stern exposed the water surface and was still rotating continuously.

Compared to the surprise of other ship personnel, the officers and soldiers on the Cute Couture cheered, and Chen Tianming grinned and said, "Ah hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, see if you die!"

At 12:39, the Takachihoe completely sank.

Seeing that the Takachiho was sunk, the other three ships were even more striving to pour shells into their opponents. Captain Lihue Lu Shuang had a sudden idea and ordered the use of incendiary bombs. The battle was excellent. The Akitsushi, who was facing it, immediately caught fire, and the Pearl City and Koloa immediately followed suit.

Yoshino soon started to burn, and now that the parking was stopped at sea, it was undoubtedly sank. The fire soon burned to the ammunition depot, and some of the ammunition was soaked in water, but the remaining ammunition still exploded.

With a "bang!!!", Yoshino's upper building was completely blown up, and Yoshino sank 12 points 52 points.

Now only Langsu and Akizumi are left. Akizumi was hit by more than a dozen incendiary bombs, and the entire warship is burning, and it has completely lost its combat power. Langsu still has some combat power left, thanks to his outstanding command with Togo Hirahachiro.

Deputy Captain of the Langsu, Yusu Tanaka, was already dead. Togo Hirahachiro looked at the place where Takachiho and Yoshino sank. Someone looked at the burning Akitsushi, and ordered in despair: "Shipwreck!"

"captain!"

"Shipwreck!"

"Hi!" The nearby sailor bowed and responded.

At 13:08, the sailor of Langsu detonated the ammunition depot and began to sink. At 15 o'clock, the torpedo was hit by the torpedo launched by the Cute Crowd. The power of the explosion blew up Akizuma to fly, two or three meters above the water surface, and when it fell back into the water, it overturned and completely sank at 22 o'clock.

"Captain, the Lu Shuang (Lihue) sent a banner, saying, saying..."

Two Japanese ships were sunk in this battle. Chen Tianming was in a good mood. Seeing the messenger stuttering, he said, "What are you saying?"

"You said you were not authentic, and you snatched away the credit of each person!"

"Fuck! I clearly saw that the Lihue had passed the critical situation, but this kid even scolded me! It's so fucking!"
