Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 267 Burn, Vladivostok (4)
On Fort No. 3, Wang Qi was shirtless at this time, yelling back and forth on the fort. At this time, his eyes were red, and he was directing the battle while measuring the enemy ship.At this time, Wang Qi pointed the muzzle at the Ushakov behind the Alexander. He gritted his teeth, cursed "bitch", and quickly ignited the fuse.With a bang, the shell was falling on the rear deck of the Ushakov. The countless broken stars caused by the explosion detonated a pile of grenades stacked there. Boom, boom, boom, the huge explosion shook the entire battleship , Explosion fragments with red flames scattered and fell, forming a beautiful and spectacular holiday fireworks. A second lieutenant and five sailors were killed in the fireworks, and ten others were injured.The explosion also caused a fire, and a yellow smoke trail was drawn from the tail of the Ushakov.The firefighters rushed to the rear deck, fighting the fire demon with the fire hose in their hands, and the entire rear deck was in chaos.The fire affected the sight of the coastal defense artillery, and thick black smoke rising from the sea covered the hull.Even so, quite a few shells hit Ushakov's ship accurately, causing iron flowers to splatter all over the place, and the roar was endless.

Seeing that the Ushakov was under fire from the enemy, the Russian warships all rushed to rescue them. At this time, the formation was completely chaotic, and the Nikolai blocked the front of the Ushakov with its arrogant body. Use the intensive offensive of the side artillery to deal a severe blow to the No. 3 Fort on the front.The Ushakov wanted to leave the battlefield quickly, but the enemy's artillery hit him one after another, causing huge damage to the rear of the ship. The seawater poured in from there, which greatly affected the maneuverability of the warship, so that it could be rescued in case of emergency damage control, but it was still unable to fully launch.

"Concentrate all firepower on the fort, and hit me hard." Seeing thick smoke billowing from the rear deck of the injured Ushakov, Vakchen no longer had the good mood just now, and wished he could immediately kill the fort. The opposite fort was razed to the ground.

The fleet concentrated hundreds of cannons and kept pumping shells. Almost every once in a while, a huge explosion occurred on the fort, and the black smoke rising from the Chinese positions was no less than that of the Russian warships.

Liu Dingbang saw his brother fall down from time to time, his eyes were red, and now he had no time to think about when the Westport warship would arrive. He saw that the Ushakov was going to turn around and pass by him, so the speed slowed down a bit. Seizing this opportunity, he quickly fired a cannonball, which accurately hit the front main pole of the enemy ship. Six mast turners fell from a height of more than [-] meters and fell into a puddle of mud on the deck.

Liu Dingbang jumped happily, and yelled for the loader to fill up the ammunition quickly, and then re-corrected the alignment, and another shell hit it hard.An explosion that resounded throughout the sea alarmed everyone on both sides.With the precision of a scalpel, this shell penetrated the torpedo tube of the Ushakov under the bridge. The Ushakov was shaken by the huge explosion, and the huge 4730-ton hull almost jumped out. The water surface suddenly dumped to starboard.Before the hull was righted again, another big explosion happened again.The explosion triggered the power boiler below the deck, and the hot compressed steam broke through the boiler and rushed out. Almost all 45 stokers were burned to death by the steam immediately.The explosion also penetrated the fragile bottom of the ship, those riveted steel plates turned into pieces of rags before the powerful impact, broke at the joints, twisted arbitrarily, and fell into the depths of the sea.The armored deck above the boiler room was also distorted by such a terrifying explosion, and the entire hull was bent towards the middle.The electricity in the bottom cabin was cut off in an instant, and people couldn't find the exit in the dark. In fact, the passage leading to the upper deck had already been destroyed in the explosion.A few people climbed onto the open-air main deck. People were running around crazily on the deck, but below the deck was already a purgatory on earth. There were burning fires everywhere, splashing sea water everywhere, overflowing white steam everywhere, and shouting everywhere. The fleeing crowd.

At this time, the bow of the Ushakov had sunk into the water, and the sinking speed was still accelerating. The center of gravity of the entire ship began to shift, and the stern began to rise out of the sea. You can see his red bottom and The rudder and propeller, because the sinking speed is too fast, the propeller still maintains a certain speed when it is exposed to the sea.

"I'll send you back to your hometown right now!" Liu Dingbang gritted his teeth and said fiercely. He adjusted the gun position as quickly as possible, and the skilled loader quickly loaded the ammunition.boom!The cannonball was fired fiercely and accurately. The shell penetrated the bow armor and exploded directly inside the hull. Sawdust and iron chips collapsed one after another. The entire hull sank irreparably. Ushakov No. hastily ended his trip to China.

All this stunned the Russian sailors. A main cruiser was sunk just like that?Vakchen looked at the sinking Ushakov and couldn't hold his breath anymore. He said loudly: "Order the fleet to adjust to the shape of a swallow, and we must completely destroy these hateful forts!" Fighting in the bathtub, this time Vakchen wanted to use a beautiful victory to prove himself to the army, but the sinking of the Ushakov deeply hurt his self-esteem.How come the damn intelligence said that the Chinese did not have large-caliber fortress guns, but only dozens of old guns.When you go back, you must kill all these intelligence personnel one by one.

Looking at the battle situation, warships were hit from time to time, but the enemy's artillery has obviously weakened a lot since the start of the war.At present, there are only a few dozens of guns that are still conducting a tasteless counterattack. The most worrying thing is that the astonishingly powerful 305mm fortress guns burst out fireballs from time to time, causing considerable casualties to the Russian ships.

In the fire range of the Russian warship, the fort was under extraordinary blows. The entire Vladivostok fort was trembling under the enemy's shells. Of the more than 800 brothers under Liu Dingbang, there are only less than one or two hundred left. They are still suffering bloody massacres from naval guns, and there are not many shells in the few remaining fortresses, but the enemy's artillery fire is getting more and more fierce.

"What should I do?" Wang Qi ran to Li Baitao bloody.

Wang Qi shouted in Liu Dingbang's ear: "My lord, the artillery of the Russians is too powerful. Now most of our artillery have been damaged by naval guns. There are only a few artillery that can be used. But now The ammunition is running out, and I don't know when Lord Lin's warship will arrive, it's really frightening to death!"

Liu Dingbang didn't even think about it, he gritted his teeth: "Fight! How many brothers do we have now?"

Wang Qi wiped his face, not knowing whether it was blood or sweat, and said loudly: "There are about 130 more brothers."

"Tell the brothers, let them save the ammunition, let the injured brothers go down for treatment, and the rest go to the remaining fort." Liu Dingbang spat heavily on the ground, and said to Wang Qi.

"Understood." Wang Qi immediately braved the gunfire and ran to the places where the brothers were hiding. Liu Dingbang's integrity for Yu Sui aroused the hostility of the brothers, and they ran to their fighting positions.
