Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

On a warship, the captain is the absolute authority, especially at the moment of life and death, the captain's orders must be obeyed.

The helmsman on the Dingyuan ship immediately turned full rudder to the left, and the huge battleship turned around desperately. Finally, at the moment when the torpedo was about to hit the Dingyuan ship, the huge water splash split by the bow made the torpedo turn. Xiang, the torpedo was like a disappointed fish, sliding towards the sea without ships.

The officers and soldiers on the Dingyuan ship let out a burst of high-pitched cheers. On the contrary, there was a sigh on the Haver ship. Just as the Haver ship was about to launch the second torpedo, it saw the armored cruiser Brutal who was in charge. The order to retreat has been issued!

Six British warships, braving the artillery fire of the Beiyang Fleet, turned from the oblique side of the Beiyang Fleet and retreated.The speed of the four torpedo destroyers including the Havor ship can easily reach more than [-] knots, and the speed of the two brutal-class armored cruisers is also around [-] or [-] knots. Far ships are a breeze.

However, the Armored Cruiser Arrogant retreated back at a speed of less than ten knots. The Beiyang Fleet Admiral Ding Ruchang immediately ordered that the fastest ships Zhiyuan and Jingyuan pursue it first.

The Beijing ship is now fifteen nautical miles away from the battlefield. Lin Yuan and the combat staff are watching every move on the battlefield nervously. The drone will send the real-time pictures back to the Beijing ship. , and display them on the big screen in an easy-to-understand manner.

Seeing the retreat of the British fleet, Lin Yuan said involuntarily: "No, the British fleet is trying to lure the enemy into deep! They want to besiege the Beiyang Fleet!"

Since Xu Feng's whereabouts were unknown, a new pilot was selected to be the commander of the carrier-based aircraft unit. His name was Yang Yu. Sink those British warships."

Lin Yuan hesitated and said nothing, but Han Mingguang said suddenly, his tone was so low that it was frightening, "We can't take off to save the Beiyang Fleet!"

Yang Yu asked in bewilderment, "Why? We still have plenty of available flight hours, fuel and ammunition!"

Han Mingguang said: "We can save the Beiyang Fleet once, twice, can we save them forever?"

Yang Yu said, "What do you mean?"

Han Mingguang said: "As early as the Sino-Japanese War, the Beiyang Fleet should have been completely annihilated, and then there were reforms and a series of changes later, and the Qing Dynasty would perish. We saved the Beiyang Fleet, which is equivalent to extending However, the Qing Dynasty is already dying. With our current strength, how can we save it? Even if we save the Beiyang Fleet, it will still be doomed in the end. We might as well let the Beiyang Fleet be destroyed. If the army is wiped out, there may still be a glimmer of hope.”

Yang Yu said: "Should we just watch the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Fleet being slaughtered? The strength of this British fleet is far greater than that of the Beiyang Fleet. If the Beiyang Fleet goes to them, it will be sent to die!"

Han Mingguang said: "In any case, this is the era, and with us now, we cannot change it."

Yang Yu said: "Since that's the case, why did we attack the Japanese Combined Fleet when we traveled back?"

Han Mingguang was at a loss for words for a moment. At the beginning of the journey, no one thought that changing the fate of the nation would be so difficult!

At this time, Lin Yuan said: "Stop talking, let's take off and attack the British fleet! Now we can't change the destiny of the nation, but we can't now, it doesn't mean we can never, we have grown stronger now. Change the destiny of the nation That day is not far away!"

A J-24 roared into the sky on the deck of the Beijing warship. Its magazine contained four anti-ship missiles and flew over the British fleet.

Looking at the plane roaring into the sky, Lin Yuan couldn't help but think in his heart: "Commissioner Han is right, even if the Beiyang Fleet is saved, what will the Qing Dynasty do?"

At this moment, the situation map of the battlefield showed that the Beiyang Fleet had entered the ambush circle of the British Fleet. At the same time, the meteorological department reported the weather conditions. At this time, Lin Yuan suddenly had an ominous premonition.

In the communication channel, the pilot of the J-24 suddenly said: "Report to the captain, the enemy ship cannot be attacked!"

Lin Yuan grabbed the communicator and said, "What happened?"

The pilot said: "There is too much fog on the sea, and the fire control part of the radar cannot accurately lock the enemy ship. Moreover, the fleets of the two sides have already fallen into a melee. Even if the infrared guidance mode is used, it is easy to accidentally damage the ships of the Beiyang Fleet."

Seeing Han Mingguang sigh, Lin Yuan shook his head.

The sound of gunfire on the sea has been one after another, and the Beiyang Fleet, which was surrounded by heavy troops, quickly fell into a disadvantage. After all, the images of the reconnaissance plane cannot see the situation on the sea like a monitor, not to mention the thick smoke from the artillery makes the battlefield more difficult to observe, so The tragic battle that took place under the thick fog was not completely clear to the Beijing ship.

After falling into the melee, the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan ships of the Beiyang Fleet were quickly taken care of by the opponent's artillery. The artillery of the British fleet far surpassed the artillery of the Beiyang Fleet in terms of rate of fire and power. So a one-sided situation quickly appeared on the battlefield.

A shell accurately hit the bridge of the Dingyuan ship, and the bridge was directly blown off. Ding Ruchang, the fleet commander commanding on the bridge, was shot and killed. Although the soldiers of the Dingyuan ship were raining shells on their heads, Still trying their best to shoot at the British ship, but the thickest part of the armor of the Sovereign-class battleship's broadside main armor is 457mm in the middle, and the weakest part is 356mm. Such an armor thickness is difficult to hit with the main gun of the Dingyuan ship. wear.

Soon a shell hit the military hospital at the bow of the Dingyuan ship. The fire and thick smoke soaring into the sky made it impossible to view, let alone shoot!In this case, a torpedo destroyer approached to a distance of 300 meters and launched a torpedo. The huge explosive force of the torpedo directly tore the side armor below the waterline, and sea water poured into the hull, and the hull began to tilt. 10 It sank in a few minutes, and at the moment before the sinking, Guan Dai Liu Buchan rejected the strong advice of his subordinates, watched his subordinates board the lifeboat, put on his favorite official uniform, knelt and kowtowed in the direction of Beijing, and then raised his gun suicide.

The Zhenyuan Ship was besieged by three armored cruisers. Many shells exploded on the armor near the waterline. The violent explosion finally tore the armor of the Zhenyuan Ship. The coal bunker under the armor suddenly caught fire, threatening the ammunition depot. , a soldier whose legs were blown off endured severe pain and desperately closed the watertight door of the coal bunker. The Zhenyuan ship escaped, but the firepower of the British fleet was too strong, and the Zhenyuan ship sank very quickly. Lin Tai once swung his sword and killed himself.

It is worth mentioning that when the cruiser Super Brave hit the cruiser, Guan led Weng Shouyu saw the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan sank, his own warship was hit by several bullets, the whole ship was on fire, and was enveloped by billowing black smoke. He knew he was doomed , personally steered the steering wheel, rammed into the British ship Barbaric, the British ship attacked with all its strength, the super brave ship tilted up to 40 degrees, and was still attacking the British ship with the front main gun. The super brave ship was designed with an ramming angle, the so-called ramming angle , is something like a blade below the waterline, used to hit the enemy ship below the waterline.

The super-brave ship severely damaged the armored cruiser Barbaric with its ramming angle, forcing the opponent to withdraw from the battlefield. Soon, the super-brave ship also capsized and sank. Weng Shouyu shouted: "The whole ship is gone, what should I do!" and jumped into the sea.

When the thick fog cleared, the Beiyang Fleet was completely wiped out.
