The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1014: Run two

Chapter 1014

Fuso and Hyuga, who were spotted by four German fast battleships, were desperate for part-time jobs for a while! The two sides have moved closer to within 12 kilometers recently! Almost every 20 seconds, a wave of shells will land next to the two Japanese battleships or in the middle of the tenth ring... The smoke screen released by the smoke cans can no longer conceal the fire from the two Japanese battleships. Even without the help of seaplanes, the German battleships can still clearly determine the location of the Japanese battleships!

boom! The Fuso was hit again, this time the shell hit the stern of the hull, and the entire stern seemed to sway under the heavy blow. The power supply to the stern of the hull has almost been cut off, and most of the passage is dark. Only near the bullet hole can you see some light. The wreckage is distorted to the crumbling cabin, dense poisonous gas and flames, plus I don’t know. What fell again turned the second half of Fuso into a **** on earth.

Because the **** is facing someone, there are naturally many shots in the rear. In less than 20 minutes after the Spey fleet joined the battle, the Fuso was hit by at least 3 shots from the main gun in the tail! In addition to previous hits, the secondary armor belts on both sides of the tail were almost smashed into a sieve. Almost no armor plate was intact, either there was a huge perforation on it, or it was twisted after being affected by the explosion. In other words, being torn apart and half pulled, the whole tail is terrible!

As the water inflow at the rear gradually reached 1,200 tons, a large amount of seawater was swarming up along the deck, and the rear area for parking seaplanes had already been submerged, did the surging waves even backflow into the shooting 5 Inside the turret, and a large amount of water ingress caused this artillery to be directly abandoned...

At this time, Kato Seiyoshi really felt the horror and blood of the war. For the first time, he felt that he and the battleship might be broken to pieces in a second! Then he sank to the bottom of the sea. Only now did he realize that he was not as firm as he thought. The muzzle of the enemy ship in the distance was constantly shining with fire. Every explosion made his heart shake, and he felt a kind of collapse and collapse. Powerlessness.

"Every hit is a disaster, which means a new death storm swept the warship. We are bleeding all the time. We can always see mutilated corpses and blood donations everywhere in the cabin, in the corridor and on the deck. , The battle has reached the present level, we have run out of oil, and the remaining artillery is constantly neighing, but this is just a dying struggle of a dying person, we don’t know when it will die, maybe just one shot The position of the shell hit was just right, and the Fusang would never see the sun tomorrow."

"We tried our best to flee to the northwest. The battleship groaned heavily all the time. Not only did we think that the opponent's blows, but the furnaces, turbines, motors, and artillery were all at their limit! Excessive damage and wear made these originals? The smoothly-running machinery decayed step by step, just like a patient who was already dying." After the war, Kato Seiyoshi recalled the situation at that time.

In fact, this is the case. Even the Earl thought he could sink these two warships in this sea. At this time, the remaining Japanese destroyers rushed up again, facing 4 tonnages a little bigger than them. Ten times the behemoth, five Japanese destroyers launched their final desperate charge, and a torpedo was thrown into the water one after another, rushing in the general direction of the German fleet.

Such a lightning strike was destined to not hit the target, but it still interfered with the Earl’s pursuit. In order to avoid torpedoes, Sultan Osman I and Reshadia were forced to change course. Of course, these destroyers also failed to escape to heaven under the firepower of 4 fast battleships and numerous **** warships!

More than a dozen warships and dozens of rapid-fire guns of various calibers roared frantically, forming a moving net of fire on the front of the entire German fleet, and three of the Japanese destroyers that rushed up like moths to the fire did not even have time to turn around. Torn to pieces by the flying shells. One of the other two destroyers was hit by a 350MM armor-piercing projectile, and the other was hit by two Austro-Hungarian naval destroyers that were besieged, chased and intercepted. At a distance of less than 500 meters, they were bombed by torpedoes from opposite sides. It was crushed, and just like that, in the first naval battle after the Japanese Navy came to Europe, all 8 destroyers were destroyed!

However, the efforts of the Japanese destroyers still brought opportunities for the two capital ships. The five destroyers probably bought Kato Seiyoshi about 20 minutes, and during this time, the Fuso and Hyuga pulled out about 4 kilometers. The distance between the left and right, at this time, the distance between the two sides is more than 17 kilometers, and the hit rate of the Allied warships has dropped drastically.

By the way, there is one more ship here. The only remaining British battleship Lord Nelson failed to escape. He did not have the defense and speed of the Fuso-class battleship. At the same time, he was besieged by 5 quasi-fearless ships, plus 3 destroyers. In this case, this British battleship can only have one result, and that is sinking!

This time the Austrians were obviously not willing to entangle themselves anymore. After the Lord Nelson was beaten to death, a destroyer leaned up and used three torpedoes to finally kill the last fearlessness of the British Royal Navy! A water column of more than 100 meters high rises from the ammunition depot in the front of the Lord Nelson~lightnovelpub.net~ The front of the hull seems to be dragged out of the water by a giant hand, then it breaks, and after a while, it sinks In the vast ocean, when this British battleship was also defeated, only two battleships Fuso and Hyuga remained on the entire sea...

Just when Kato Seiyoshi was in despair, and even most Japanese naval officers and soldiers believed that they had no hope of surviving, a telegram rekindled hope for the Japanese.

"My fleet is rushing to the battlefield, I hope your navy can hold on for 30 minutes!" Kato Sajiki dare to say that this is the most delightful and exciting telegram he has received in his life! This is like a person who is about to drown and suddenly finds a lifebuoy next to him! And this time, the French finally did something right. They were indeed about to rush to the battlefield, even faster than the telegram said. In fact, if you look northwest from the top of the Hyuga’s mast, you can already I found a column of smoke appearing on the sea level! In the case of relative navigation, maybe you can meet in less than half an hour!
