Chapter 194 The Battle of Jeju Island 6

Wittgeft never expected that he would sink two ships at once. Originally, there were five left in the seven battleships, namely the flagship Prince battleship, the Grombowi battleship, the cruiser Ascrete, the cruiser Diana and the cruiser Livtori. Although there is still an advantage in number, the total tonnage is no longer an advantage. Moreover, the battleships on his side have some losses. Although the problem is not big, in comparison, the Queen of Hawaii was shot more than one before.

There are 100 shots, but it is not damaged. The number of large-caliber main guns is not advantageous. The two battleships have only eight 305 mm and 40 caliber guns in total. One Queen of Hawaii has only eight 305 main guns, and the power and accuracy of their guns are far beyond their own side. Therefore, although they have an advantage in number, their own warships have lost more than half of their losses and their morale has been greatly reduced. If they wait for the Queen of Hawaii to come up in a few minutes, it may be a destruction of the entire army.

Wittgft was scared and said, "Send the flag to other ships quickly! Ask them to sink the two cruisers!"

When four other battleships began to pour shells into Honolulu and Pearl City, Wittgft said: "Left full rudder! Leave here at full speed and go back to Vladivostok!"

Captain Sglivetsky said: "Master, this..."

"The left rudder is full!!"

Sglivetsky understood that he wanted to abandon several other warships and flee by himself. As the captain, Sglivetsky was unwilling to be a deserter from the bottom of his heart, but the military orders were as high as a mountain, so he had to turn the rudder left continuously.

Fengshui took turns, and luck seemed to have reached the Russians. Honolulu and Pearl City, 4,000 meters away from the Far East Fleet formation, began to be shot one after another. A 305mm shell exploded on the front deck of Honolulu, blowing a large hole in the deck and igniting a fire from Honolulu.

"Extinguish the fire quickly!" Li Dingxin shouted.

Fortunately, there were no people on the deck, so no casualties were caused. After Li Dingxin gave the order, the damage manager quickly went to the near the fire and picked up the water gun, twisted the valve and started to put out the fire. A steam turbine of the Pearl City was destroyed, and a propeller stopped operating. Lin Tai immediately ordered to leave the battlefield. All of this was because it was too close. If the distance was kept at about 7,000 meters, the two cruisers would not have suffered such great damage at all. Now the Pearl City was difficult to navigate, with 26 crew members and 58 injured, and the Honolulu was slightly injured, with 63 crew members and 92 injured, and the captain Liu Buchan was seriously injured. This was the biggest loss since the establishment of Qin Ge's navy.

Seeing the flagship suddenly turn left, the captains and sailors of the other three warships were not clear, but when they saw the approaching Queen of Hawaii, everyone knew in their hearts: Commander is asking us to block the perverted warship so that they can escape smoothly!

The captains greeted all the women in the commander's family and began to consider retreating. The flagship had already turned and began to leave the battlefield at full speed, but it took a few minutes for them to turn around. At that time, the perverted warship had already caught up. Isn't it a pervert? More than 20,000 tons of huge monsters, armor with thicker skin than the shameless man, can still have a speed of more than 20 knots. This is definitely an pervert!

While he was pondering, the Queen of Hawaii had already arrived. Chen Zheng saw through the telescope in the command room that the decks of Honolulu and Pearl City were in a mess. He was heartbroken. He could have won without any damage, but in less than twenty minutes, the two cruisers were beaten into this way.

Su Chang put down his telescope, just shook his head and didn't speak.

Chen Zheng turned his eyes to the Russian ships and said, "Right rudder 60! Sink the cruiser in front first!"

The Queen of Hawaii began to turn more than 5,000 meters away from the enemy formation. The giants close to 200 meters were naturally very easy to aim. A 305mm shell from the battleship Grom Bowie hit the Queen of Hawaii, but due to the large angle of incident, the shells bounced off without explosion, let alone breaking through.

"Bang!!" When the Queen of Hawaii was about to complete the turn, she fired a volley at the cruiser Livtori, the front of the Russian fleet. A shell hit the bridge of Livtori, blew up the entire bridge. No one on the bridge survived, and the warship lost command. Lieutenant Ludley, the adjutant of guns and cannons, immediately surrendered with a white flag to avoid being bombarded again.

Seeing Livtori surrendering with white flags, the captain of the Diana Morutov also ordered the white flags to be hung. Because the Diana was hanging on the white flag, all the shells fired at the Diana flew towards the Ascrete. A total of three artillery shells hit the Ascrete. One of them broke down under the waterline and the explosion caused a big hole. The sea water began to pour in continuously. Two methods of the two methods penetrated the superstructure. More than a hundred people were killed by the chief, and the captain was also among them. The Ascrete did not quickly hang out the white flag like Livtori, and was hit by the next round of volley shots by the Queen of Hawaii and had begun to slowly sink.

At this time, only the battleship Grom Bowie was still fighting stubbornly. The two shells fired from the double-mounted 305 main gun on the bow hit the Queen of Hawaii. The two shells exploded when they penetrated the Queen of Hawaii's armor about 200 mm, and two holes with a diameter of more than 40 centimeters were blown up. Two nearby damage managers were hit by debris produced by the explosion and died on the spot.

In response, the Queen of Hawaii began to slow down and fire at Grombowi. Two shells hit the bow of Grombowi and shattered the bow deck. Captain Vednisff was so scared that he quickly ordered the white flag to surrender. Damma's commander sold his teammates, it was normal for me to surrender.

He flaunted the flag words to disarm the three surrendered warships, then put down his lifeboat and sent personnel to take over the three warships. As for the Prince, who had escaped tens of thousands of meters away, Chen Zheng could not chase them. Honolulu and Pearl City were both damaged, and their combat effectiveness had decreased a lot. He chased after him. If these Russian ships launched an attack on Honolulu and Pearl City after they left, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Not many people sent to receive several ships of ships, one was about ten, but they were indeed fully armed, with a revolver and six grenades. If the Russians dared to play tricks, they were all ready to sacrifice.

At this time, less than two hours had passed since the two sides started a war (calculated from the discovery of each other), the huge Russian Far East fleet had three 10,000-ton battleships and two 4,000-ton cruisers sunk, one battleship and two cruisers were captured, and the flagship Prince escaped. A showdown between quality and quantity, the winner was quality.
