The fierce battle lasted until 0:45. After the Rixiang catches up, the second main team has been restored to its complete system.

But the situation is already terrible.

Perhaps I felt that the "Imu" had been beaten up badly enough. After 0:30, three other "Longxing"-class battleships moved their targets.

Unfortunately, it is not worth the pleasure at all.

Because the Rixiang has not caught up, within about fifteen minutes, the No. 2 and No. 3 of the main team were firing at the No. 2 enemy ship, the No. 2. Don't forget that the No. 2 need to forward the Tatsuji combat order instead of the No. 2.

Interestingly, the "Fusang" actually fired at two "Longxing"-class ships at the same time!

According to the battle records, after being fired by the opponent's No. 2 and No. 3, the captain "Fusang" ordered the three turrets in front to aim at the No. 3 enemy ship, and the three turrets in the back aim at the No. 2 enemy ship, respectively, commanded by the front and rear bridges, and counterattacked the two enemy ships at the same time.

Isn't this a joke?

Although the "Fusang" shot nearly ten and a half volleys within these fifteen minutes, it failed to hit a single shot and even made a span.

The counterattack of the "Fusang" was completely wasting shells and did not even cause interference to the enemy ships.

To be honest, the half-volley fire of the six main gun turrets in front and rear made the two officers and soldiers at the "Longxing" class confused and did not understand what the enemy ship was doing.

In these fifteen minutes, the biggest gain of the second main team was not that they hit the opponent a few times, but that they successfully distanced themselves from the opponent.

In fact, this is the key to Takaji's order to turn left.

Don’t forget that Gui Boyong’s main team sailed northeast, and after Gaosi ordered a left turn, the second main team sailed southwest.

In addition, during this period, Takaji also issued an order to the Takeo on the "Miaogao" through the "Fu Sang".

Attacking the enemy's main force, to be precise, after approaching, launching an attack with torpedoes.

Don’t forget that the four "second high" class each have four quad-mounted torpedo launchers, which can fire eight heavy oxygen torpedoes to one side at a time.

After a tactical turn, eight more can be launched.

This thing is a big killer.

As long as you hit, one can be paralyzed, or even sunk a 10,000-ton warship. In theory, only three can be sunk a battleship.

Of course, Takaji did not expect to use torpedo to sink the battleship, but just hoped to get time to make adjustments.

At 0:45, the "Longxing" turned first.

At this time, about ten kilometers away from the east, the four "second-high" ships of the Fifth Cruiser Team were also turning and immediately launched an attack.

That's right, it's just launching torpedoes to the main team!

What is Wu Xiong doing?

Do you use "spike" oxygen torpedo Ritian?

Even if the "Spear" oxygen torpedo has amazing power and range, it will not avoid the attacked warships?

Given the situation at that time, if it were not for Wu Xiong's intentional work, it would be that the "Fusang" made an error when sending the report.

However, the problem was immediately handed over to Gui Boyong.

Although he did not exchange fire with the Fifth Cruiser Team, the lookouts of the Longxing were always staring at the other side and always closely watched the movements of the four heavy cruisers. He found that the four "second high" class suddenly turned to the right and returned to their original courses about three minutes later. When sailing towards the southwest, the lookouts issued an alarm to remind the captain that the enemy ship might have fired torpedoes.

The two opposite steerings in succession are the standard actions of launching torpedoes.

Subsequently, the "Zizhou" of the heavy patrol team also sent a telegram claiming that it had observed four enemy ships launching torpedoes, so that the main team would pay attention to prevention and avoidance.

How to avoid it?

Discovering enemy ships to launch torpedoes is completely different from discovering torpedoes.

Besides, no one knows which direction the four heavy cruisers were launching torpedoes.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that as long as you are hit by a torpedo, even the "Longxing"-class battleship will be destroyed, and at least you have to go back to the shipyard to lie for a few months.

Besides, who would like to get beaten up on his warship?

Gui Boyong spent so much effort just to avoid damage by surprise and not giving the enemy a chance to fight back.

That's why Gui Boyong gave the order to turn left.

What's the meaning?

Set a distance from the Fifth Cruiser Team!

Although some people have made deductions, according to the situation at that time, even if they were not attacked by the Fifth Cruiser Team, the main team would choose to turn left, keep a distance from the second main team, and gradually leave the Watcher Strait, without the threat from the Fifth Cruiser Team, the main team would only make tactical steering, and would keep the steering radius to a minimum, maintain visual contact with the second main team, and continue to exchange fire with it.

Under the threat of torpedoes, the main team does not make tactical turn, but turns and avoid them.

The result is that the steering radius is more than five thousand meters.

If it is during the day, then nothing is there.

It can be chosen at night, and five thousand meters seems too far!

Not to mention personal grudges, Takeo's decisive attack did save Takaji and gave Takaji valuable time to complete tactical adjustments.

In addition, when Gui Boyong ordered the turn, the fire on the "Rixiang" was about to be extinguished.

When the main team completed the steering, they once again left visual contact with the second main team.

The clouds that were originally on the main team had already floated to the south, blocking the moonlight.

At that time, Gui Boyong regretted it.

At 0:55, after the torpedo impact time passed and the torpedo attack alarm was lifted, the only enemy in front of Gui Boyong was left with the Fifth Cruiser Team, which was still advancing.

In addition, the heavy patrol team is coming here and is firing at four "second high" levels.

Perhaps worried about being attacked again by torpedoes, or perhaps being angry, Gui Boyong made adjustments and ordered fire on four heavy cruisers.

Wu Xiong certainly did not expect that the four "Dragon Xing"-level "like prehistoric monsters would take small shrimps like "second high" level seriously.

Although the Navy regards heavy cruisers as secondary main ships, if we really want to say that cruisers are not the opponents of battleships at all. This is just a heavy cruiser. The battleships that were powerful during the last war were vulnerable to battleships.

The result was that four "second high" classes were bombarded by four battleships and four heavy cruisers at the same time.

Can you still live?

The lookout on the "Longxing" accurately recorded what happened next.

Just after one o'clock, the "Second Gao" caught fire, and then a violent explosion occurred, with a sinking time of about one o'clock and five minutes. After one o'clock and six minutes, the "Nazhi" was directly hit by a 400mm armor-piercing bomb, and the bridge was almost flattened, and it sank after more than ten minutes. At one o'clock and fourteen minutes, the "Zu Bing" exploded without any warning, and then sank within less than one minute. At one o'clock and seventeen minutes, the "Yu Black" raised a white flag while being concentrated on fire by eight warships, and sank itself after more than ten minutes.
