Chapter 1108 Lightning Strike!Lightning Strike (Second update, please subscribe)
Although the firepower of the Imperial Navy was very fast, the "Peru" and "Bolivia" still showed the powerful combat effectiveness of the battleships. Under the protection of heavy armor, they were still fighting tenaciously on the sea. The rate of fire of the inch naval gun was very slow, but every time the naval gun with thirty times the barrel fired, it shook the sea.

Suddenly, a cloud of explosive smoke rose from the midship of the cruiser Datong, which made Grau shout excitedly. "Hit!"

It's a twelve-inch shell!

This shot made Grau and other admirals see hope. In fact, they didn't give up hope at all, because they knew very well what it meant to lose this naval battle.

"Very well, that's how it was fought! Tell everyone, keep shooting, we'll beat them soon..."

Although the "Varas" armored ship was already on fire, under the command of Captain Condel, the sailors were still fighting tenaciously.On this Chilean-dominated warship, a small Chilean flag was even hoisted, which was their last hope.

At this moment, the lookout who had been observing the battlefield suddenly noticed several ship shadows in the sea fog on the starboard side.

Ship shadow?

How can this be?

Soon he saw several warships heading towards the fleet at full speed.

"Enemy ship, an enemy ship is found on the starboard side!"

"Enemy ship, enemy ship!"

Amidst the shouts, under the cover of sea fog, ten small lightning strike ships quickly moved towards the fleet. Major Madsen, a Royal Navy observer on board the "Peru", looked at the small ships in surprise. , They didn't even fire their guns, they were heading towards the fleet like sharp arrows.

These warships look small, only a few hundred tons, what do they want to do?
They pointed straight at the fleet like an arson ship.

"Lightning ship, it's a lightning ship..."

Suddenly, Madsen thought of the unique warships of the Ming Empire.

It's the lightning striker!

A warship armed with torpedoes.

"It's the lightning strike ship of the Ming Empire!"

Standing on the bridge of the "Bolivia", Lieutenant General Williams ordered loudly.

"Quick, starboard..."

When he mentioned the starboard side, he thought that in order to make up for the lack of combat power on the port side, in previous naval battles, he had drawn gunners from the starboard side to the port side many times to make up for the loss there.

But even so, the starboard side still fired, but the firing rate of the retreating gun was too slow. Although the shooting of the six-inch naval gun seemed to be very powerful, it was just a water column on the sea. Those lightning strike ships would not hesitate in the water column. rushed towards the enemy ship.

"1000 meters!"

"800 meters!"

When the distance was close to 600 meters, Ding Tao slammed the steering ship with all his strength, and while the lightning strike ship was making a half circle in the sea, the torpedo captain in the midship had already operated the launch tube to aim at the "Peru".

"Launch a torpedo..."

Six torpedoes were launched one after another!
Six torpedoes launched by compressed air flew out of the launch tube, and flew towards the "Peru" the moment they entered the water. When the air-driven torpedoes were galloping in the sea, there was a wake made of air bubbles in the sea. , The torpedo was like a sharp arrow off the string, heading straight for the "Peru" plane.

"torpedo!"

Because everyone focused on the port side and ignored the starboard side, it was too late when someone found the enemy ship rushing out of the sea fog on the starboard side, and the deadliest thing was the torpedo, although the wake of the torpedo was very obvious, but when they When it flew like a sharp arrow, the people on the warship didn't know how to deal with it.

"Torpedo, it's a torpedo!"

Seeing the approaching torpedo, Admiral Grau hurriedly shouted.

"Full left rudder, sail at full speed..."

The appearance of the torpedo disrupted the Peruvians' position, and they could only avoid the torpedo by avoiding collision.

Although the lightning strike ships all launched torpedoes at a distance of about 500 meters, the Peruvians still had a certain amount of time to react. Just as they hurriedly turned with full rudder, a torpedo almost flew past the hull, but When the sailors on board breathed a sigh of relief, a torpedo directly hit the starboard side of the "Peru".

With a bang and a violent explosion, everyone saw a sea wall rising on its starboard side, and just as the sea wall composed of sea water was about to fall, another sea wall rose.

"Hit!"

When the "Peru" was accurately hit by three consecutive torpedoes, the "Bolivia" was also hit, and then the "Huasca", "Independence", and "Confederation"...

After an hour and a half of the naval battle, the lightning strike ship that suddenly joined the battlefield became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Just a single encounter completely changed the course of the naval battle.

After drawing a circle, the lightning strike team launched another lightning strike on the enemy ship. Compared with the length of the artillery battle, the torpedo attack was fatal. The "Peru" with a displacement of nearly [-] tons was hit by three torpedoes in succession. Afterwards, it immediately tilted seriously, and it was about to sink into the sea. After the stern of the "Bolivia" was hit, the turbulent sea water directly poured into the stern, and slowly lifted the bow. Ten minutes later, accompanied by With a "click", the giant ship of nearly [-] tons broke into two pieces like a toy.

The once shocking sea battle, accompanied by the two lightning strikes of the Thunder Fleet, is over!
When everything was over, in the black smoke, there was only one lone cruiser left in the Peru-Bolivia Federation Fleet, which had once swaggered in the sea.

There are corpses and sailors floating with the waves everywhere on the sea. The sailors who fell into the water looked at the fleet in horror. They couldn't believe that everything they had experienced before was defeated like this!
How could you lose so quickly.

The fog slowly faded away, and the Peru-Bolivia Federation fleet, which cost tens of millions of pesos, just disappeared from the world, leaving only a solitary "Covadonga" with its masthead hanging high The white flag is the root cause of his survival.

"Okay, it's all over!"

The corners of Cheng Bichen's lips were lightly raised. When he ordered the rescue of the drowning Peruvian soldiers, he moved his feet for the first time. Looking at the sea in front of him, what he thought was not when the Ministry of the Navy wanted to transfer warships. He said that only one Nanhua-class ship was needed. , A Linhai-class ship is enough, and it should not be as planned now, take advantage of the victory, go straight to the Port of Callao, threaten Lima, and force Lima to surrender.

What he thought of was Zhongdu, the ongoing negotiation.

"Now... how will the Americans react?"

In fact, what he cares about is not the reaction of the Americans, but how the war will end after it starts. After all, the most important thing after the war breaks out is - the war is over!
