The Guangwu found that the Yoshino was relatively fast, and it was not easy to hit and pursue it. Wu Ankang immediately switched targets to attack the already severely damaged Takachiho.

The cannonballs rained down on the side of Takachiho. He was constantly hit and caught fire. Not to mention Guangyuan Guangwu’s 240MM main gun, even ground-caliber secondary guns and rapid-fire guns have a certain effect on his fragile armor. Lethality.

"Hurry up! Quickly foam!"

After entering the best range, the Yoshino Uekaye Yuyoshijin frantically urged, a dozen rapid-fire runs began to roar wildly, Guangyuan Guangwu also began to be shot in succession, igniting fire, only the 150 rapid-fire gun used by Yoshino , For Guangyuan Guangwu's alloy steel armor close to 150MM, the upper and lower sides are not big.It can only threaten the lives of people on board.

Several fires on the deck were quickly extinguished.

The Takachiho, which can threaten Guangyuan and Guangwu with a 260MM artillery, is already on the verge of faltering. After a large number of personnel have been killed and wounded, they can only make occasional counterattacks, but only three or four minutes can fire one or two shells.

"boom!"

The two ships fired another round. With a faint white smoke from the muzzle of the Guangyuan, a huge explosion sounded in the middle of Takachiho.A 240mm-caliber grenade shredded his armor and left a big hole about two meters away. It exploded in the machine room. The damage caused can be imagined. All instruments in the machine room were destroyed, and a huge fire occurred in the cabin. , Black smoke gushes out from this big hole, covering the middle of the battleship

The Takachiho ship became a huge fireball. The firefighters could no longer stop the fire from spreading, but the seawater helped them. A large amount of seawater poured in from below the waterline of the cave mouth, extinguishing the difficult fire.

"Be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Looking at Takachiho, which was gradually leaning and irreparable, Nomura Sada pulled out his katana against the barrier of the control tower...

"withdraw!"

"Damn intelligence agency, it's a shame to the empire!"

Yoshino Yoshino Yoshinobu decisively issued the order to retreat. Although he believed that other Neon ships would come soon, he could not hold on to that time.

And he has completely abandoned the old thinking of the so-called fleet ships.Guangyuan and Guangwu have obviously undergone major repairs, and they have undergone major repairs. The speed has reached 18 knots or more.

It's just that he is too irresponsible to transfer the responsibility to the intelligence machine management. The Chrysanthemum Agency can get the number of the Qing exposed fleet, the original parameters, and even the number of overhauls, but it is impossible to get the content of the overhaul and the parameters after the overhaul.

Moreover, the Qing Dynasty will not easily show it in the exercise, otherwise the navy of other countries can only be said to be stupid.

"Evacuate!"

Yuan Jiugao ship Yoshino accelerated away from the battlefield. His speed of 22.5 knots was not Guangyuan. Guangwu could catch up. Forcibly pursued might be outflanked by Japanese reinforcements. The 11,000-ton Kyushu was not a joke...

"Damn the Qing people, are their warships so powerful? They actually hide their strength."

When Togo Heihachiro learned of the sinking of the Takachiho, he was shocked. Before the two sides started a decisive battle, they lost a second-class capital ship.

However, he was slightly relieved after calculating the strength of both sides.

"Your Excellency Commander, we have underestimated the strength of the Qing people. Do you want to reinforce the squadron."

His staff suggested on the side.

"In this way, let Hashidate meet them in the past, and then stop them from dispersing, just hit and protect the merchant ship." New World Novel www.enwds.com

Togo Heihachiro ruled out the Hashidate, one of the three landscapes, and was still worried, and changed from active attack to passive defense.

"Hay!"

With a bow, the staff member walked away quickly.

Neon cabinet.

"What's the matter with the navy, not only could it not protect the country's merchant ships and cargo ships, it took the initiative to attack and was sunk a second-class capital ship."

"I really doubt the navy's ability to guarantee the victory of the usual and decisive battles of the Imperial Sea Route."

Today, Youpeng in Shanxian County is very powerful, but what makes him depressed is that the land hasn't really started fighting, but the navy and logistics have frequent problems.

"The Qing people's navy hides its strength, our speed is not as slow as the intelligence, and the power of the artillery shells is also very strong."

"Ours is underestimating the enemy, but please rest assured, with the four giant ships, the navy still has an advantage."

Huashan Ziji was also helpless, but he didn't count as a push of four, five or six, but still took part of the responsibility.

"It can't go on like this anymore. Now we have lost hundreds of thousands of tons of merchant ships and cargo. If this continues, the empire's industrial, commercial and food reserves will collapse. Even if we win the war, we will not resist as long as Maozi takes action force.

"It's better that the navy is fully responsible for the escort, and there is no need to find them the main decisive battle."

The Song Fang controversy expressed his concerns.

"I think this method is feasible!"

Friends from Shan County nodded when hearing Matsukata's words. Anyway, as long as the army has no worries.

"It's no longer possible! The people of the Qing Dynasty already know our weaknesses. In case they stop attacking merchant ships and choose to shell our coastal towns, the empire cannot resist either."

"Our coastal defense artillery is too weak!"

Shiki Huashan quickly stood up and retorted that he had such concerns. The other reason was that according to Matsukata's arrangement, the navy had completely become soy sauce, and no credit was obtained.

"Neither can this, nor that! What can I do!"

Youpeng and others in Shanxian County were disappointed when they heard this explanation, and couldn't think of any way.

"Let's ask Gili Gaul for help, let them help us find Daqing's broken ship, and put pressure on people at the same time!"

Suddenly Ito Hirobumi, who was sitting at the bottom, spoke.

Originally, he didn't want to care about these idiots who only knew how to fight and kill but didn't understand their brains, but for the future of Neon, he couldn't help but speak.

His words made everyone's eyes light up, and they nodded.

Immediately, Neon appealed to Gili Gaul for help, asking their observation ship to provide intelligence assistance, and at the same time to provide some assistance in diplomacy.Protest against Daqing’s breaking of diplomatic relations...
