Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 297
At this time, the killing on the sea was over, and the Chinese soldiers on several lifeboats shot wildly at the escaped Russian sailors for nearly 10 minutes, their eyes were bloodshot.There was not much ammunition left, and considering the intense artillery fire on the main battlefield, he dared not approach that side, so he rowed west, hoping to wait for the fleet's rescue on the small island there.

The extremely fast Yangfan is getting closer and closer to the Greg, and the artillery and torpedoes of the Yangfan are ready.Following the captain's order, he took the lead in launching the last strike on Greg.Because if you go any further, you will be too close to the Peter the Great.

"Launch!" The captain gave an order to the microphone, and the torpedo man couldn't wait to release the torpedo, and the main gunner also fired revenge shells at the enemy ship.

Two fireballs erupted from the stern of the Greg, which was already very fragile, and the gunfire from the Sail hit first.The torpedo forged ahead along Greg's track.One hundred yards, fifty yards, thirty yards.

Everyone on the Sail looked at the crucial torpedo, completely unaware that the huge main gun on the Peter the Great had been aimed at them.

"Boom!" The Peter the Great roared, and two fireballs hit the Sail, followed by two more.At this time, the Gregg had noticed the torpedo and was desperately turning the rudder. At the same time, the gun positions on the side were also aimed at the Yangfan and fired!

The shells of the Gregg, which can only hit stink bombs, were surprisingly accurate. The conning tower of the "Yangfan" was overturned immediately, and one shell accurately hit the boiler room, penetrated the bulkhead, and caused a huge explosion there. , The Peter the Great's second round of shelling hit the side of the Sail again, and the ammunition depot exploded.Boom, boom, boom Amid a series of huge explosions, a raging fire ignited on the side deck of the Yangfan.While the sailors of the Yangfan were busy fighting the fire, several huge explosions came from under the stern of the Gregg. The torpedo just now hit the side of the Gregg. After a violent explosion, The Greg broke in two and sank slowly.After Yangfan completed his important mission, all the crew members boarded the lifeboat and watched the tragic farewell of their warship!

After killing the Greg, the four Haitian ships did not dare to stop any longer, and turned back to the main fleet.With an absolute advantage of four to two, it launched a fierce attack on the Navarin and Batoyev on the two wings of the Peter the Great.It was precisely because of the timely arrival of the four ships Haitian that the scuffle between the ironclad Hurricane and the four ships Haitian against the two enemy cruisers was formed, and the lone one hanging outside was the Peter the Great, the biggest overlord of the Baltic Sea.

At this time, two hours had passed since the naval battle broke out.Under Lin Yongsheng's tactical command, the Singapore fleet quickly expanded its advantage to 15:5 from the original basically balanced force balance to the current tactics of relying on attacking weak links and encircling units.With the ebb and flow of morale, the battle situation became more and more favorable to the Chinese fleet.The Hurricane completely disregarded the Siberia that was on the sidelines, and only assisted the friendly ships with broadside firepower, and the main firepower was all used to shoot at the Peter the Great!
The poor training quality of the Russians has not been improved by accurately hitting the sail just now. On the contrary, it seems that their good luck has run out just now. All the recent rounds of artillery attacks have missed the target, and even one shot even missed the target. One of our own torpedo ships really annoyed the coach Rostrav.

In the melee between the two sides competing for will, the eastern wing of the Baltic Fleet has been completely wiped out by the fierce Guin and Triumph, leaving only a solitary Pevenez, who also lost her fighting spirit early. Losing his patience, he cautiously withdrew from the battle group and quickly approached the Peter the Great.

For the Russians, the sea war came suddenly, but ended helplessly.The fighting situation on the battlefield reflected their gambling psychology. In order to make up for the lack of firepower, all ships loaded more ammunition in order to make up for the lack of artillery caliber by firing more.However, King Kong was unlucky to be hit by a torpedo in the first round of engagement, and then the ammunition depot exploded, completely blowing up this iron-wood hybrid cruiser to only an iron skeleton.As for a civilian ship like the Alpine, a pure wooden ship is not equipped with much firepower, so it shouldn't have traveled across the ocean to come here to die.

But for the gamble, the Russians came.Moreover, they are less able to afford failure than the British.Every sailor in the Navy knew this operation was one that could not be failed.Therefore, when the Pevenez fled in the direction of the Peter the Great, the four gunboats staying here still refused to leave. Facing the Guine and the Triumph, which fought more than themselves, they would have to fight again. It can be said that it was a fight for honor.

The four main battleships of the Chinese fleet, Raging Waves, Haitian, Chengfeng, and Breaking Waves, are concentrating all their artillery on the local flagship Peter the Great.The Hurricane led other warships to separate the four warships guarding the Peter the Great, and formed a flank attack on them.

Half an hour later, the gun emplacement of the Pevenez was blown away, and it lost its combat capability. It turned the hull in a hurry, trying to escape to the south, but was bombarded by the main guns of Nanxiang and Haishi, which were inserted quickly. The power plant was also completely destroyed, becoming a living target floating on the sea.

Although the hull of the Siberia did not receive fatal damage, the 10 Gatling cannons on the Chinese warship swept across the upper tower like a storm. The captain, first officer, chief engineer, and helmsman successively After being bombed to death, almost all the Russian sailors were wiped out, leaving only a dozen workers in the cabin huddled together, waiting for the god of death to come!

The Peter the Great, who had no interest in fighting, took the Navarin and the Batoev and gradually withdrew from the battle zone, fleeing to the east. Lin Yongsheng secretly said "no", and immediately ordered the Haitian, Haima, and Guin on the east side. Go forward to intercept, use the side artillery to suppress the speed of the three enemy ships, and at the same time order all the warships to aim at the three enemy ships and release torpedoes.

With an order, dozens of aerodynamic torpedoes with a fixed depth of 5 meters were launched one after another, drawing white waves on the dark sea.

On the Peter the Great, the supreme commander of the fleet, Rostrav, clearly saw the torpedoes launching one after another, and they were heading towards him at high speed. The distance finder reported the distance in a trembling voice.

500 yards.

320 yards.

240 yards.

100 yards.

30 yards.

This kind of waiting was simply the most painful torment for Rostrav at this moment, his pupils were getting bigger and bigger, and there was an unbelievable light in his blue eyes.

Boom, boom, boom it's over.

Lin Yongsheng made Manila Bay the end of this long journey of the Baltic Fleet!
