Chapter 1357 White-Hot

Under the emergency treatment of the damage control team, the combat effectiveness of the No. 006 battleship still exists.

On the surface of the battlefield, the guns of the four battleships of the Yangtze Fleet began to slowly turn, trying to target the two enemy destroyers that were attacking behind.

However, during this period, as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Fleet, Pol Kluf naturally would not sit and watch the play.

In the previous rounds of confrontation between the heavy-fired warships of the two sides, the Yangtze River Fleet failed to deal a fatal blow to them.

Except for one heavy cruiser whose main gun on the bow was blown up, the damage to the other three heavy cruisers and the battleship Repulse was relatively limited, and their combat power was preserved to the greatest extent.

Now, for Pol Kluf, it is undoubtedly the time to fight back.

The battleship Counterattack and the four heavy cruisers quickly spread out, and the continuous naval artillery strikes gave them a sense of presence.

Round after round of shelling continued to swept over, causing the four battleships of the Yangtze Fleet to be distracted and evaded.

The battleship No. 006 was damaged by the previous attack of the suicide ship, and the performance of the battleship was affected. In this wave of enemy naval artillery attacks, it was unfortunately hit by three artillery shells from the enemy ship, and the state has become worse.

A wave of rhythm has been completely brought up by the opposite side.

On the Yangtze Fleet's side, a round of shelling by the four battleships failed to sink the enemy's two destroyers.

At this moment, the target of the two enemy destroyers was extremely clear. The quadruple torpedo launcher turned and fired the torpedo directly towards the 006 battleship.

According to the sailing speed of the battleship, coupled with the huge size, it is impossible to avoid the wave of face-to-face torpedoes when the enemy destroyer is approaching.

In the violent roar of the explosion, the torpedoes hit continuously, and the 006 battleship, which was attacked by the enemy one after another, directly billowed thick smoke.

"Report the Major! The engine is on fire!!"

"Major, the gap in the cabin has expanded, and it can't be blocked!!"

"Major..."

Hearing the anxious reports in his ears, the damage control team on the battleship was completely unable to withstand it. As the captain of the 006 battleship, he knew in his heart that the sinking of the battleship was a foregone conclusion.

"Put down the lifeboats and leave the crew!"

The sinking of the No. 006 battleship is undoubtedly a huge loss for the Yangtze River Fleet, and the blow is even more heavy.

As for the two enemy destroyers who were the culprits, their speed did not decrease for a moment.

But will Tong Lei let them go? Obviously not!

With a single order, all the naval guns fired again!

One of the destroyers was sunk on the spot, and although the other did not sink directly, the hull was on fire in many places.

A destroyer of the Yangtze River Fleet, which was moving quickly from the side, took over the pursuit mission.

And after two rounds of firefights, the opponent was completely sunk.

Taking two deep breaths, Tong Lei, who forced himself to calm down, gave a quick order, signaling his three battleships to fight back.

The heavy ship-borne guns began to quickly turn to the battleship Repulse and four heavy cruisers located in the rear of the Imperial Navy.

At this moment, the entire battle is about to enter a white-hot stage!

"Fire!!!"

The roar of the shelling constantly shook this sea area. Above the sea, there were wrecks of warships everywhere, filling the smell of gunpowder.

The continuous shelling has made the armor of two heavy cruisers in the Imperial Fleet unrecognizable, and the damage control team has been busy.

The bad state of constant feedback forced the captains of the two heavy cruisers to order to temporarily retreat a certain distance, intending to wait for the damage control team to stabilize the situation before returning.

However, what they think is beautiful, but the results are often unsatisfactory.

After the speed of the heavy cruiser was raised, it shifted a distance of less than a few nautical miles. With the four explosions of "boom boom boom", the violent explosion impact completely sank a heavy cruiser on the spot!

"Damn it, it's a mine!!"

Looking at the friendly battleship that was slowly sinking into the sea, the captain of another heavy cruiser exclaimed on the spot...

"Stop it for me! Don't rush up!!"

However, in order to get out of the battlefield as soon as possible, their speed at this time has been increased to the limit, coupled with the exaggerated tonnage of the heavy cruiser, when they rush up, how can they stop when they stop?

No matter how the captain roared, he couldn't change the cruel reality that the heavy cruiser he was in had slammed into the minefield.

At this moment, the goddess of luck failed to favor him.

During the uncontrollable forward charge, the bow of the heavy cruiser hit the mines placed under the sea without incident.

A violent explosion caused the ship's body to vibrate violently, and at the same time, the situation of his entire battleship became precarious.

In order to prevent the heavy cruiser from sinking, the damage control team, who was already busy with this situation, was about to go crazy at this moment.

During this period, the main guns of the three battleships of the Yangtze River Fleet slowly turned. After aiming at the heavy cruiser whose speed was plummeting, the pitch-black muzzles suddenly spewed fire, and a round of artillery bombardment carried a screeching sound. The flying shells directly crushed the last straw in their hands, forcibly sinking the heavy cruiser.

In a short period of time, the continuous changes in the battlefield situation made Pol Kluf's face uncertain for a while.

There is no doubt that mines have been laid by the underwater combat troops of the Yangtze Fleet around these warships.

It is worth mentioning here by the way that these mines were also provided by the Imperial Navy of Charles Klumbel, yes, the ones removed by the tardigrade warriors.

However, probably because of the quality of gunpowder, compared to the gunpowder produced by the dwarf gunpowder workshop, the enemy's gunpowder power is really a little worse.

At this moment, the underwater siege network had already taken shape, and the three battleships in the suppression range were confirmed to be firing frequently.

Under this premise, the invisible threat of mines in the surrounding waters is even worse for them.

That's right, Tong Lei is indeed not good at dealing with those strange tricks, and he has also paid a corresponding price for it.

But now, the suicide ship on the opposite side has been bombed, and Tong Lei, whose fighting rhythm has returned to the normal state of naval battles again, has unexpectedly lowered his tone because of his steadfast personality. Get the battle rhythm back into your hands!
