A team of neon damage guards, wearing gas masks, pulling a long water dragon, rushed to extinguish the fire.

However, several 105 high-explosive shells fell, and a red light flashed. Some sailors were directly blown to pieces, and some lucky ones were also harvested by shrapnel fired in all directions and took away young lives.

"Captain, the ship's hull has been severely damaged by several bullets and water has begun to enter. The situation is very bad. Seven of the fires could not be extinguished, and three 105 guns were destroyed."

The two Matsuda heard what he didn't want to hear the most.

"Baga! Suppress their firepower! Damn it! Order the ships to fight back, why can't they hit them even so close?"

Ryoto Matsuda couldn't help being furious, but he blamed the gunners this time. The cruisers of the Qing Dynasty have also been shot one after another, and some have been hit by several shots and have begun to be damaged, but they have the firepower and longitude accuracy. The disparity, the warships did not have their resistance, which caused such an outcome.

However, all this will have nothing to do with them, but at the stall where he is talking.

"boom!"

, A 180mm armor piercing hit the commanding tower of the destroyer'Chuanchi'.

Although the armor of the commanding tower was strengthened, it was still penetrated by him. A ball of fire rushed out of the commanding tower. Under the terrifying heat, all the high-ranking officers inside, including the Matsuda two, were all turned into coke.

Suddenly, not only Kawauchi was in command chaos, the entire neon cruiser team was in chaos.

Immediately after the cruiser of the Qing Dynasty, there were several volleys. The Kawauchi was hit many times, and the entire hull had a violent explosion. The original Kawauchi had been seriously damaged, and it was finally unable to persist under the continuous attack. Up.

In just three minutes, the Kawauchi was sunk with only one stern left. At this time, the command flag was raised on the Kawara, but only three cruisers remained.

It has only been less than half an hour since the two sides fired. Their light cruiser has lost two ships. One of them is a flagship. This has to make them feel a sense of fear. Some warships have already begun. The commander who contacted the Chuanliang hoped to be able to evacuate.

But when they consulted the headquarters, they did not get Sugimoto's approval. After all, their re-tour will be there in about ten minutes. Now that they have suffered such a big loss, they have the opportunity to find it instead of looking for it. Escape has too much influence on morale.Qiqi Chinese Website www.qiqizw.com

So Sugimoto Fifty and Six asked them to continue, and his decision was also supported by Shimamura.

So we had no choice but to grit our teeth, but the Qing cruisers did not continue the siege. Instead, they sent two cruisers to help the destroyers, so that their situation was slightly better. After all, both the number and the firepower of the destroyers were clear. It's all out of disadvantages, it's all splicing technology.

And the cruiser side has already occupied an absolute advantage, defeating the opponent is only a matter of time, and therefore it is not very cost-effective to let your destroyer and people lose money.

In the past, the Qing Dynasty’s navy had built destroyers with relatively small tonnage in order to defend the long coastline. Today, the displacement of the Guangzhou C-class destroyers has increased to more than 2,000 tons, and their functions and firepower are more comprehensive.

However, the Neon destroyer on the opposite side has higher firepower and tonnage than them, except for its speed and armor.

It's just that the destroyer of the Qing Dynasty was not as inferior as imagined at this time, but instead used its speed advantage to continuously avoid the neon destroyer's gunfire and start fighting with them.

The battle is very fierce. Both sides have full firepower, hoping to suppress the other side, but the neon destroyer loves you obviously seems more impatient. They are eager to solve their opponent quickly, and then go to help their cruiser. After all, their cruiser squadron is now precarious.

So they did not hesitate to fight with injuries, which is also a headache for the destroyers of the Qing Dynasty.

However, after the two cruisers of the Qing Dynasty joined the situation, the situation turned around immediately. They began to chase the neon destroyers. After all, the tonnage of the cruisers of the Qing Dynasty was more than twice that of the neon destroyers, and they were not above the same level. .

Although the number ratio between the two sides was still 8 to 9 due to a disadvantage, the Neon destroyer was defeated steadily, and the powerful firepower of the cruiser caused them to suffer heavy losses.

In just ten minutes, five destroyers were sunk, and the cruiser battlefield on the other side was also the winner. Neon had only one cruiser left, and it began to rely on the Qing Dynasty. The navy evacuated early when besieging another domesticated ship.

The remaining neon destroyers left the battlefield one after another when the situation was not good. Although the warships of the Qing Dynasty were more or less injured, they did not affect the combat power too much.

Obviously they would not let go of this opportunity to chase, and they rushed up to fully vent their firepower, but only two or three minutes later they began to retreat crazily to the rear.

Because at this time, six huge ships appeared in their front. This is the neon navy's heavy patrol formation. The neon is no more than 12 heavy patrols. This time, six ships were sent to support. …… ..
