s: Asking for a guaranteed monthly pass April 9, 23:41.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom," I saw dozens of thick water columns suddenly rising from the Japanese vanguard fleet array that was turning left, and at the same time, a series of thunderous loud noises came from underwater.
The three fastest destroyers, Minazuki, Nagatsuki, and Kikutsuki, were lifted out of the sea by several huge air waves, and then exploded to pieces in the horrified eyes of the Japanese officers and soldiers.
They were worthy of their name.
"Jade is broken".
Less than three seconds before the three destroyers "Tamasha", the Utsuki next to the Chikuma was also finished.
A torpedo had already missed and passed through it.
But that torpedo probably still thought it was the most delicious, so it turned a corner, turned its head again and plunged into its stern, causing a big explosion.
The entire stern of the Uzuki, starting from the rear main gun, was gone.
It slid on the sea surface for more than a hundred meters before sitting on the bottom of the sea.
Immediately afterwards, the two destroyers Mikazuki and Nobuchi were hit by mines one after another.
The bow of Mikazuki was blown off, and Nobuchi was blown into two pieces from the middle.
"Damn it's a torpedo, it's a China torpedo" "When did they launch it?"
"What kind of torpedo is this?
It's so powerful."
The Japanese finally reacted, and the flagship Satsuma suddenly became a mess.
At this time, four thick water columns rose up next to the Tone, "boom, boom, boom".
Four torpedoes were hit on its starboard side, half of the hull was blown away, and its boiler was also blown up.
The high temperature and pressure were The steam caused secondary damage, and the entire warship was surrounded by diffuse steam.
Note: At this time, there are many ship names in the Japanese Navy that overlap with the same type of warships in World War II, but they are not the same ship, such as Tone, Chikuma, Yagi, Kamikaze, Nowaki, etc.
In less than 2 minutes, this cutting-edge cruiser, which had only been in service for three years and had a displacement of 4,113 tons, capsized and exposed its belly in the eyes of Takeshita Isamu and others.
"Baga, the Chinese torpedoes are so terrifying."
Isamu Takeshita suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
There are two types of Type 44 torpedoes currently used in Japan.
The 533 mm Type 1 torpedo has a charge of 160 kg, and the 450 mm Type 2 torpedo has a charge of 100 kg.
The "Yu 1" 600mm heavy anti-ship torpedo is much more terrifying.
The 550 kilograms of explosives in the torpedo are more than three times that of the 44 Type 1.
Moreover, it uses more powerful high explosives.
If it is only more powerful than the explosion, it is at least seven times more powerful than the Type 44 Type 1.
According to China's own tests, as long as it is a warship under 5,000 tons, it will definitely kneel down as long as it touches one.
Warships of 5,000 to 10,000 tons will basically fall to their knees even if two of them are next to each other.
Those with more than 10,000 tons can probably hold three or four.
Even China's own Fuxi class can withstand eight to ten weapons at most.
In addition, warships at this time generally suffered from low underwater protection.
If the cruiser Tone was hit four times in a row, it would definitely die.
Just at this moment, there was another loud noise from Otoyu, which was burning like a torch.
Its rear main gun flew into the sky, and the entire above-water part of the stern was blown up.
At the same time, the underwater structure was also damaged.
Severe damage, causing extensive water intrusion.
Within a few minutes, the 3,000-ton protected cruiser sank.
This is because the Otowa's firefighting operation failed, and the fire ignited the secondary battery magazine, and then detonated the magazine of the rear main gun.
"Assholes, retreat, retreat, all retreat," Isamu Takeshita ordered quickly in a trembling voice.
This round of lightning strikes caught the Japanese by surprise and stunned them at the same time.
Anyway, Major General Takeshita Isamu was scared to death by this terrifying torpedo.
Within five minutes, 6 destroyers and 2 cruisers were lost, and several cruisers and destroyers were injured.

Only one cruiser of the other side was slightly damaged.
How can this battle be fought?
If we continue to hold on, we may have to pay for all our possessions.
The other Japanese officers were also frightened and refused to stay when the commander shouted to run away.
They immediately turned around and ran like a swarm of swarms.
The Japanese navy of this era had not yet been brainwashed by militarism.
Their thinking was relatively flexible, and their style had always been very European, so they were not so resistant to things like retreat and surrender.
This is completely different from the Army Red Deer whose brains are full of stones.
This is normal, according to the navy.
The Japanese navy is originally a superior people, the officers are nobles, even the lowest sailors are precious, how can they be compared with those low-level army horse dung.
So, they have no mentality when the orders are given from above.
He ran away under pressure.
But in the panic, the destroyer Ayanami crashed into the starboard side of the cruiser Yagi next to it.
The Yagi was badly hit by concentrated fire from the beginning.
Hundreds of tons of water entered the bow of the ship, and its speed was greatly reduced.
Originally, it was also turning after being ordered to retreat, but unexpectedly, the Ayanami next to it collided with it in a daze.
This was an incredible moment.
The bow of the Ayanami was deeply inserted into the starboard side of the Yagi.
The two warships were connected together and formed a "Bu" shape.
They couldn't be separated for a while, and now no one could run away.
However, it is not easy for the Japanese vanguard fleet to escape.
The Chinese fleet opposite is also a high-speed light ship.
Even if Takeshita wanted to run away, he would have to ask Colonel Liao Guangwei on the opposite side if he agreed.
Nonsense, of course I don't agree with this vanguard mission, but there are more wolves and less meat.
Several light patrol detachment captains fought for their heads, and they were finally selected by drawing lots.
Colonel Liao finally got this mission, how could he let the other party escape so easily?
"Asshole, you actually want to run away."
Liao Guangwei saw that the other party actually ran away, and he was not willing to give up.
"Hmph, come when you want, leave when you want, how can it be so cheap?
Everyone pay attention, after the turn is completed, form a column and pursue me at full speed, catch up with me and beat me hard."
The eight Chinese warships immediately accelerated to complete the turn, circled to the starboard side of the Japanese fleet, formed a battle line, and pursued them.
The maximum speed of Chikuma and Hirado is only 26 knots, and they still need to turn, while the speed of the Chinese light cruiser is 29 knots, and it has almost completed its turn.
The distance between the two sides quickly shortened, and at the same time, the artillery of the Chinese fleet was not idle and kept firing.
While the Japanese ships were turning and slowing down, the Chinese fleet's bombardment reached a climax. 23:44.
The Chikuma, which had just completed its turn, was attacked by four Chinese light cruisers. 32 155mm main guns and 24 90mm secondary guns poured shells at it at the maximum rate of fire.
A total of 180 155mm shells and 345 90mm shells were fired at it in one minute.
The Chikuma battery hit 16 155mm shells and 28 90mm shells.
The superstructure was beaten into a sieve, the front and rear main guns and the starboard secondary battery.
All were destroyed.
The conspicuous bridge battery was hit by 5 155mm artillery shells and 7 90mm artillery shells.
The entire bridge was blown up like a honeycomb, which was terrible to see.
There were heavy casualties on the bridge.
Rear Admiral Isamu Takeshita and most of the people on the bridge were torn to pieces by shrapnel and shock waves.
Although it lost its combat effectiveness and mobility, the underwater part of the Chikuma was lucky enough not to be beaten very much, and it is still floating on the sea tenaciously.
However, the Japanese forward fleet, which lost its flagship, was even more confused.

Although the Japanese fleet is also fighting back desperately, they are now completely out of formation and can only fight on their own.
Moreover, the only one that can pose an effective threat to the Chinese fleet is the Hirado equipped with a 152mm main gun.
The rest are all kamikaze-class destroyers, with only two 80mm 40-caliber main guns, so the threat is very small.
The Chinese fleet is like herding sheep, chasing the Japanese fleet and pouring artillery shells wildly.
At this time, because the Hirado was far away and there were several destroyers in between, the shooting angle was not very good, so the Chinese fleet aimed at those destroyers.
The targets of the Chinese fleet just now were cruisers.
These thin destroyers were not hit.
Apart from being hit by torpedoes, they were not hit by a single shell.
But now the target changed, and it was the Japanese destroyer's turn to be unlucky.
The thin hulls of these destroyers simply could not withstand the bombardment, and they soon suffered massive losses.
By 23:55, Yudachi and Wakaba were sunk, Ushio, Hakumyo, and Uiharu were turned into torches and floated on the sea.
Ziri, Hibiki, Uranami, and Isonami were also hit with varying degrees of severity.
However, despite the desperate counterattack by the Japanese warships, the Chinese vanguard fleet still received more than a dozen shells.
An anti-aircraft gun on the Huangpu River was blown up, the seaplane crane of the Luohe was damaged, the Zhenjiang and Nantong also received several 80mm shells, the Zhenjiang's anchor chain room was damaged, and the Nantong's rear deck was damaged.
A hole was made, but it had little effect.
However, at this moment, the Japanese main fleet, which was speeding up, also appeared in the radar echo.
"Okay, stop the pursuit and return to the main fleet."
Liao Guangwei immediately ordered to stop the pursuit.
Although he wanted to make a contribution, he was not crazy enough to fight with an entire battleship formation.
But before leaving, he ordered the torpedoes that had just been installed to be adjusted to the maximum range, and fired a salvo of torpedoes at the Japanese main fleet.
On the way back, they fired several rounds of cannons at several immobile Japanese ships, sent the destroyer Ayanami and cruiser Yagi, which became "catamarans", to the bottom of the sea, allowing them to completely free themselves, and then drove to 29 At a fast speed, Sayazi ran away.
Fuxi number.
Gao Yujie looked at the returning forward fleet and smiled and said: "The forward fleet Liao Guangwei and the others did a good job, sinking four cruisers and ten destroyers: Tsukuma, Yagi, Otowa, and Tone, and damaging seven destroyers.
Next, it's up to us.
The main team” "How far is the Japanese main force from us?"
"Report to Commander, the Japanese main fleet is 30 kilometers away from us," Navigator Li Ang reported.
"Okay, after advancing 5 kilometers, turn left and form a battle line to meet the enemy."
Gao Yujie looked at the situation map between the enemy and ourselves on the screen and gave the order calmly
