Chapter 123: Final lore

Unlike the previous battles between the two sides, this time the battle lasted not long. The Kaiyuan was quickly at a disadvantage in the intense close-range shooting. Although the armored gallery can avoid most of the people, it still will It happens that the gun barrel is hit and blown off or the gun gallery malfunctions due to vibration.

When a 234MM shell on the Kasuga exploded under the bow turret of the Kaiyuan, the broken shrapnel directly stuck the turret. There was no suspense in the battle. At least the Japanese thought so. At this time, the Kaiyuan engaged the sidestring. There are only two 150 guns that can be used for rapid-fire guns of medium caliber and above. Such firepower cannot even destroy the weakest Chiyoda!

Destroying a tightly defended cruiser with artillery is a very laborious task, and the Japanese seem to be unable to wait too long, because the watcher at the top of the observation deck has spotted the warship coming in the distance, "We can’t Determine whether it is a British battleship or a German battleship, or a battleship of a neutral country, so we can only use the simplest and direct method to destroy the opponent!" Huashan Ziji recalled afterwards.

　　Because it was a long-distance chase operation, the Japanese did not carry torpedo boats at all, and the final lightning strikes could only be carried out by cruisers. However, considering the performance of torpedoes at that time, the effective range was only less than 1,000 meters. And before the final lightning strike, the Japanese cruiser needs the last round of close-in shooting! In this attack, the Japanese fleet was less than 1,500 meters away from the Kaiyuan!

　　 "It's now!" After fighting at a speed of about 8 knots for an hour, the cruiser Kaiyuan, which had almost lost all its firepower, suddenly accelerated, and at the same time the warship turned sharply about 135 degrees on the sea! The steam engine, which has been depressurizing to ensure low-speed operation, suddenly begins to move forward at full speed! Although the maximum speed of 13 knots at this time was only the standard of battle speed in normal engagements, when caught off guard, this warship was still much faster than the opposite Japanese fleet! When the warship turned quickly, the Japanese fleet had no time to think about it and still sailed on its original course!

"We had a good grasp of the time at the time. When we finished the turn, it was just between Takasago and Chiyoda! The 1,500-meter voyage, almost directly opposite, was already a short distance for the warship!" When the earl recalled the situation again, he was still very excited. This sudden turning angle attack was very successful and began to show weakness, and then suddenly accelerated and successfully inserted into the Japanese fleet's sequence using the disadvantage of the opponent's fleet that is not easy to change. !

"Angle attack tactics!" When the huge hull of the Kaiyuan was about to traverse the channel of Chiyoda, Masatoshi Uchida subconsciously ordered the warship to maneuver in the opposite direction and accelerate to escape. This decision is equal. At this time, the Kaiyuan is counterclockwise. Turn, while Chiyoda turned clockwise to keep the two warships as far away as possible.

"It's dangerous!" After all, the Chiyoda has a smaller tonnage and a smaller hull, so it turns faster and more flexible, but it's not that this warship that has been hit hard and has more than 600 tons of water can keep up. Kaiyuan's initial speed advantage did not translate into the final result.

　　 The course of the two warships became parallel and opposite. The Japanese avoided this fatal impact with an even better turning speed!

　　 "Goodbye!" When the Japanese thought they were safe, Yang Yonglin finally showed a smile on his face! Therefore, at this time, the distance between the two battleships is only 700 meters! And because of the high-speed steering at the same time, the power is mainly used to provide angle, but the speed is further reduced. After driving far, the speed quickly drops from 13 knots to 8 knots, and Chiyoda, which has increased the speed later, even directly drops to 6 knots!

　　 Two slender gray figures flew out from the side and stern of the Kaiyuan Hull, and then plunged into the water. This is Kaiyuan’s last chance! At a distance of 750 meters, two torpedoes quickly rushed towards the target! After the torpedo entered the water, a small splash was raised, and then a bunch of bubbles were removed from the back of the torpedo, forming a long trail, but compared with the ordinary torpedo, the trail of this torpedo is a bit larger and the speed is actually a bit faster. ......

　　 Boom! Along with the collision between the torpedo and the cruiser hull, a huge water column slashed across this poor warship like a huge sword! However, a cruiser of more than 2,000 tons is so fragile under the charge of 90KG picric acid! The violent explosion and the generated high temperature and high pressure bubbles directly shred the fragile hull plates, and the almost useless compartments were directly blown into pieces. Then under the violent vibration and distortion, the cracks in the entire battleship continued to expand. , And then spread to the entire hull!

　　 The violent explosion directly lifted the battleship slightly from the middle, but even so, the gravity of the bow and tail of the hull still became the last straw that crushed the cruiser Chiyoda! Accompanied by the jaw-dropping sound of metal twisting and breaking, this Japanese cruiser broke into two pieces from the middle!

　　 "Crazy guy!" until the Chiyoda was sunk, Huashan Ziji didn't want to understand how the other party did it. It came too fast, too suddenly! Kaiyuan’s performance was very similar to the last time the two fast fleets broke the game~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but this time, Zhiyuan did not make up for Kaiyuan!

700 meters away, one of the two torpedoes hits the moving target. This hit rate is still too terrifying for the current torpedoes. Even after the war, people think that the final battle of the Kaiyuan is too much. ! In other words, luck makes this battleship! After all, the maximum range of the compressed air-powered torpedo at that time was about 1 km! Even some people in later generations think that Yang Yonglin's final fight completely on the unreliable torpedo is a bit risky!

　　 But decades later, when someone looked through the declassified German Navy's secret archives, they found a clue. In a document, the torpedo on the cruiser Kaiyuan was described as non-aerodynamic torpedoes! That is to say, it is not compressed air to provide power, and combined with the situation of later generations, some people speculate that it was a heat-powered torpedo that eventually sank the cruiser Chiyoda!

　　 "Everything is done, we can go!" Yang Yonglin said contentedly. "Dear German colleagues, please wear your life jackets. The ship over there should be a British cruiser. I will sink the warship, and you should be able to be rescued. I am here to send you a last ride!"

　　 Kaiyuan has finally completed the last lore in its short and glorious life! After completing the attack, the Kaiyuan opened the sea valve at the bottom of the hull to sink the warship!

　　 "Kill it! Go up and kill him with a torpedo! Kill them all!" After a brief shock, the Japanese became angry! They could not imagine that they would lose even with a full hand of good cards! This dying lion tore a wild wolf to pieces before falling down! Under the tremendous stimulation, the Japanese fleet launched the final attack on the Kaiyuan like a group of mad dogs!

　　 The second is more~~~, ask for Sanjiang ticket, ask for collection~~~!
