The passage to the nautical bridge and the cabin door leading to the open-air deck were all sealed, and each watertight door was on duty with damage staff.

When passing by the officers' restaurant, Bai Zhizhan went to get some food.

Since I started working at four in the morning, I have not eaten for six hours, and I have been blowing the sea breeze on the mast for more than two hours.

However, when thinking of the bloody scene at the medical center, it seemed as if the broken limbs were frozen in front of him, the bloody smell that had not dissipated in his mouth and nose for a long time, and the unforgettable moans in his ears, Bai Zhizhan vomited out all the food after coming out of the officer's restaurant.

By the time he returned to the commander's bridge, it was already ten:20.

The artillery battle is still going on, but the Beihe is no longer as brave as it was at the beginning.

The shell that destroyed most of the nautical bridge also destroyed the main rangefinder mounted above the nautical bridge! When using the secondary rangefinder on the top of the rear bridge, the shooting accuracy of the main gun is to be precisely inferior to that of the previous one, and there were no consecutive rounds of volleys to hit the enemy ship.

Inside the commander's bridge, combat staff Gui Boyong was issuing an order through an internal telephone.

He Yongxing stood next to the chart table, and several staff officers were introducing the battle situation.

"Bai Zhizhan, you are here just in time, hurry up...what is wrong with you?" The nautical staff came over and was shocked when they saw the innocence of Zhizhan clearly.

His face was pale and bloody, like an evil spirit who had just crawled out of hell, and it looked quite scary.

Noting the expression of the navigation staff, Bai Zhizhan reached out to wipe his face. "It's not my blood, I'm not injured."

"Wipe it clean quickly." The nautical staff handed a hand towel to Bai Zhizhan. When Bai Zhizhan wiped off the blood, they continued, "You bring the backup chart to the rear bridge and obey Major Luo Dingbang's command. The telecommunications center is paralyzed, so you have to send a telegram through the "Nanjiang"."

Bai Zhizhan nodded and agreed. Major Luo Dingbang was the second mate of the Beihe and stayed at the rear bridge during the battle.

Major Luo Dingbang commanded the flagship, indicating that Captain Colonel Zhang Zhuguo and the first mate who followed the captain to stay on the nautical bridge have lost their command ability.

"Look!"

At this time, a staff officer shouted. Then, a commotion broke out inside the bridge.

In the southeast, a ball of fireballs rolling into the sky appeared, to be precise, smoke and clouds.

It's so bright that you can see clearly between more than ten kilometers!

While everyone was staring at the fireball in the east, Gui Boyong had already grabbed the microphone and listened carefully for a while before he let it go.

"Commander He, the lookout reported that he had observed a large explosion in the hull in front of the bridge of the No. 4 enemy ship, and it was suspected that the main artillery ammunition depot would explode!"

"Observe again, report again after confirmation!"

"yes!"

Gui Boyong didn't say anything, picked up the microphone and ordered Li Mingbo on the lookout table.

Bai Zhizhan walked to the porthole and looked at Yanyun with a telescope.

Because the "Reputation" and "Counterattack" have been repelled, the enemy ship No. 4 is actually in the second order in the current order.

It is most likely the "Lion".

This battleship served as Betty's flagship in the naval battle more than two years ago.

The smoke and clouds produced by the explosion blocked their sight, but they could barely see something burning behind the smoke and clouds, and the fire was very fierce.

"It has been confirmed that the enemy ship No. 4 exploded violently after being shot and was sinking quickly."

Sinking!?

Bai Zhizhan turned around and looked at the combat staff, and happened to face He Yongxing who was looking at this side.

He Yongxing walked over, looked at Bai Zhizhan carefully, and finally nodded. Looking at his expression, he seemed to recognize Bai Zhizhan.

The smoke and clouds dissipated, and after seeing clearly through the telescope, Bai Zhizhan was already dumbfounded.

Actually, I didn't see clearly at all.

But, it doesn't matter.

The No. 4 enemy ship was broken into two pieces, the head of the ship had disappeared from the sea, and the remaining stern part of the ship stood on the sea, sinking at a speed that could be distinguished by the naked eye.

That was a battlecruiser loaded with nearly 30,000 tons. How heavy would it take to break into two pieces and sink within a few minutes?

It's simply impossible if it's just a shell.

The armor-piercing shells fired by the 400mm main gun of the "Nanjiang" are less than one ton of mass. They are loaded with more than a dozen kilograms of explosives and can at most a large hole in the hull. The shells that can blow battlecruisers into two parts do not exist at all, or they cannot be made at all.

There is only one situation where a battle cruiser can quickly sink.

The main artillery ammunition depot was hit, and dozens of tons of ammunition stored in it exploded!

How long has it been!?

Bai Zhizhan subconsciously took out his pocket watch and took a look.

At 10:24, half an hour passed since the first round of volley shots of the Beihe!

Immediately, Bai Zhizhan's speculation was confirmed.

Gui Boyong walked to He Yongxing and said, "According to the report of the observation deck, the No. 4 enemy ship is the "Queen Mary". The armor-piercing projectile fired by the "Nanjiang" directly hit the No. 2 turret. After penetrating several decks, an explosion occurred in the main artillery ammunition depot below."

"Contact the 'Nanjiang' to open fire on the enemy ship No. 3 to relieve the pressure on the flagship. Don't forget to let the acting captain inform all the officers and soldiers of the ship of sinking the enemy ship."

When Gui Boyong walked away, He Yongxing waved to Bai Zhi.

"Commander He."

"Injured?"

"Not hurt, it's not my blood." Faced with He Yongxing's care, Bai Zhizhan had to repeat what he had said to the navigation staff.

He Yongxing looked at Bai Zhizhan again. After seeing the gas mask on Bai Zhizhan's waist, he realized that Bai Zhizhan had been to the Navigation Bridge.

"I won this battle, and I personally apply for commendation and promotion orders for you."

Bai Zhizhan was obviously startled. After noticing He Yongxing's grim expression, he quickly said: "I just did what a staff officer should do, and I can win the championship. It is because Commander He's command and leadership are good. How dare I take credit for me, a small staff officer."

"You are too modest."

He Yongxing said so, and Bai Zhizhan felt that being humble would seem hypocritical.

"How much do you think we have the chance of winning?" He Yongxing suddenly raised an extremely sensitive question, which made Bai Zhizhan even more helpless.

The nautical staff came over with a backup chart. When they saw He Yongxing talking to Bai Zhizhan, they were tactful and did not come forward to disturb him.

Everyone could see that after accurately predicting that he would encounter the First Battle Patrol team, Bai Zhizhan was appreciated by He Yongxing, which at least made He Yongxing feel that he was a talent that could be made.

Even if you can get He Yongxing's reputation, your future will be immeasurable!

"What's wrong? I dare not say it, or can't say it?"

"Commander He..."

Bai Zhizhan was very troubled because this was not a question that a little adviser could answer casually.

He Yongxing still stared at Bai Zhizhan, but he didn't urge him anymore, giving him enough time to think clearly before giving the answer.

At this moment, the commander's bridge became lively again.
Chapter completed!
