"Ha! That's it?"
Captain Wang snorted disdainfully, because if the Dragon Boat Festival relied on superstition to deceive everyone, it would be a shame for soldiers.
In the twentieth century, mankind is abandoning the old feudal superstitious ideas and moving towards rejuvenating the country through science and technology.
Under this wave, especially the army, it is even more important to abandon this ignorant feudal thought.
But just as he was about to speak, he felt that it was not the right time in this situation. The soldiers' morale is very high, and the enemy is facing them.
Although the opponent is only two frigates, their total tonnage will not exceed 4,000 tons of displacement. But each ship's four 127mm naval guns were enough to sink the Izumo.
So at this time, he couldn't get into trouble. And I want to help the Dragon Boat Festival.
However, what Captain Wang never expected was that these soldiers under Duan Wu were so fierce. A shell from the main gun actually hit one of the frigates. The frigate was hit on the port side and burst into flames.
"Fire, fire!"
The living Japs ignored the dead Japs and quickly called for help to put out the fire.
The front half of the port side of the Japanese frigate was severely damaged, and a large hole with a diameter of seven to eight meters was torn.
The ship's main gun was tilted thirty degrees, the ammunition magazine was exposed, and some shells even fell under the cracked cabin.
So the little devil was very panicked. Because as long as the main gun's ammunition magazine is ignited, the entire frigate, at least the front end of the ship, cannot be saved, and the hull will sink due to the explosion.
So the moment the captain of the Xiaojiazi frigate received the news that the hull was seriously damaged, he ordered all the Japanese, as long as they were not in the main position, to put out the fire. and fled quickly.
"Ogawa-kun, please cover me, my losses are great. I must get out of the battle quickly."
The burning frigate asked the captain of another frigate for help.
"Yamamoto-kun, I have seen it. I will use the artillery fire from the left line to cover you, and we will retreat quickly."
Captain Ogawa of another frigate had already seen Yamamoto's frigate being hit and bursting into flames.
Ogawa had no intention of fighting, and used intensive artillery fire to cover the burning Yamamoto ship and quickly escaped.
boom! Boom boom!
The Ogawa frigate's left cannon opened fire in full force, and the dense shells were as dense as meteors in the dark night.
Captain Wang quickly changed course and avoided the area covered by dense artillery fire.
But even so, the left string and the right string were hit by two 37mm and 47mm rapid-fire cannons at the same time.
But the Izumo, the title of the iron-clad cruiser, is by no means a deserved one. After the two shells were fired, only half of the iron sheet was blown away, and the main body of the ship was not damaged at all.
At this time, if the little devil wanted to see that the Izumo was so strong, he would probably be pissed to death.
Because this is an armored cruiser that they spent a lot of money on and carefully repaired.
"Report to the regiment, we were hit by two shells."
At this moment, a soldier from the Independent Regiment came running to report with a smile.
"………………"
Captain Wang was speechless and even felt that the people in the Independent Regiment were abnormal. The ship was hit by enemy ships, but he was still laughing.
But Duanwu knew that these brats were just here to make me laugh. He cursed: "Go away, as long as the ship doesn't sink, don't bother me."
"It's a group seat, but I don't think your big treasure can sink. The little Japanese's cannonballs hit us, and our ship only scratched a few skins."
"Go away, my warships are all broken. You melons, are you still laughing? Go back and sink the little devil's warships. Otherwise, let alone eating dragon meat, the dragon daddy will not be yours." share."
Dragon Boat Festival is not the one who suffers losses. If you little devil dare to punch me, I will kick you twice.
What's more, one of the little devil's frigates has already caught fire.
As the saying goes, if you are sick and kill you, Dragon Boat Festival will never give up until you sink the opponent.
Seeing this, Captain Wang reminded: "I think Brother Duanwu should know the principle of not pursuing poor enemies, right?"
Duanwu echoed: "Yes, you are right, don't chase after a poor enemy. But this little devil is not poor at all, two frigates. We must get rid of him."
At this point, Duanwu also picked up the intercom on the ship and said: "Grandma, whoever sank those two little Japanese frigates for me, I will reward you with a dragon's butt."
"Haha, then this dragon butt must belong to my grandson."
Sun Shiyu laughed loudly, because it was Sun Shiyu who hit the Japanese frigate with just two shots.
Sun Shiyu took Duanwu's position, the main gun on the bow.
The 203mm naval gun is enough for Sun Shiyu to have a good time.
It's a pity that the first shot missed, otherwise the flaming frigate would have sunk long ago.
At the same time, other naval soldiers were not to be outdone. The salvo of various large-caliber naval guns was more intense than the firepower of ten frigates.
And this is also the reason why the little Japanese frigate launched a sneak attack when it was sixteen nautical miles away from the Izumo. Because of the head-on firefight, not to mention the two frigates, the other two would not be the Izumo's opponent.
So when the two frigates saw that the sneak attack failed and one of them caught fire, they quickly fled without thinking.
But if they want to escape, how easy is it?
If he were an ordinary commander, he would still think about whether this was a trap, or whether he could not chase the enemy, corner the opponent, and be bitten back, etc.
But Dragon Boat Festival was not pure at all. After being sneak attacked, they directly fought back.
No, it was a quick pursuit after counterattack.
Otherwise, it would not have been the Izumo's main bombardment, the Nakayamamoto frigate. f
At this time, the two frigates Ogawa and Yamamoto were at full power and could reach more than eighteen knots.
But the Izumo cruiser can reach a maximum speed of twenty knots.
So the little devil was miserable. Ogawa and Yamamoto originally thought that relying on their own speed and long-range sneak attacks, even if they failed, escaping would not be a problem.
But who would have thought that not only was a madman commanding the Izumo, but it also seemed to be faster after repairs.
They were unable to escape the Izumo's pursuit. The two warships were shot in the stern one after another, setting off a raging fire.
The Yamamoto frigate had been hit by bullets and caught fire before, and now it was even worse.
The main gun at the stern of the ship exploded again, and the ammunition depot was detonated due to the fire.
At this time, all the stern of the Yamamoto frigate, except for the underwater parts, was blown away. The 68-meter hull was reduced by at least about one-fifth.
The Japs suffered countless casualties. But the most important thing is that the little devil's Yamamoto frigate is leaking water and sinking slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Yamamoto shouted for help, but Ogawa had already fled with his tail between his legs.
At this time, when father and mother are married, and everyone cares about themselves, who will care about Yamamoto's life and death! …
