Overall, the Yoshino is indeed much stronger than Akizumi, both in terms of firepower and blood bars (if there is this attribute), but it is useless in actual combat! The Yoshino's proud rapid-fire firepower is helpless against the large-scale defensive armor of the Mainz armored cruiser. It has no other impact except that the shells hitting the superstructure and deck can cause a certain degree of fire.

On the contrary, in the battle just now, the two main guns that really had a certain impact on Mainz were the two main guns that were waved! One of the 260MM shells hit the bow armor belt of Mainz. The armor-piercing bombs violently impacted the 3-inch armor defense, perhaps pierced, or blasted through, anyway, a hole was made and dozens of tons of water was inserted, and that was it!

Three 150MM cannons and several 88MM rapid-fire cannons were divided to suppress the Langsuo. Another 4 150MM cannons and two 280MM main cannons were concentrated on shooting at the Yoshino. The so-called protective secondary cannon of Yoshino is just a gun shield made of several steel plates. It is OK to block shrapnel, but if the 6-inch cannon hits directly, it will be a dead end.

Mainz's sub-cannon is almost in a steel cannon nest! If the German officers and soldiers who went to the battlefield for the first time were still nervous, then after more than half an hour of fighting, except for the harsh sound of shells exploded in his ears and the smell of gunpowder in the cannon nest was a little pungent, it was no different from the exercise! The gunners almost aimed and attacked in an orderly manner according to the Taoist.

Yoshino's rapid-fire gun fire has no effect under Mainz's heavy armor. Apart from blowing out balls of flames on the side string armor, it can at most be to break the hull plate or set a fire on the deck. Mainz's projection does not have much advantage, but it is a bullet and bite the flesh!

The 6-inch, 4.7-inch and 75MM rapid-fire cannons that were originally made up for by Yoshino's side strings were destroyed one by one by one by one. The gun position lacking protection was accompanied by violent explosions and flying shrapnel, and the Japanese could find a few pieces of minced meat next to the blown twisted cannon. It was a pool of dark brown blood! In essence, there was no essential difference between Yoshino and Akizumashu's performance, it was just a matter of how long it lasted!

"The Langsu is approaching the shallow sea! The Yoshino is covering it and fleeing to the shallow sea area!" Hippel first discovered his opponent's plan. The Yoshino tried his best to cross between the Langsu and the Mainz armored ships, while the Langsu is sailing towards the shallow water area like crazy!

"It's a rush to jump over the wall!" Prince Ruprecht still felt that he underestimated the Japanese's decisiveness! The shallow water area ahead, and experienced seamen can even distinguish it from the color of the sea. The draft of the Mainz-class armored cruiser is more than 7 meters! The wave speed is about 5 meters. To be honest, the time traveler thinks his life is more expensive, so he doesn't want to play with the other party.

"Concentrate firepower and never enter the shallow sea area!" The crosser chose to save his life at a critical moment, but because of the potential of the Yoshino and the shielding of gunpowder, the accuracy of this long-distance bombardment was not very good. Several mid-caliber shells hit the stern of the Langsuo ship, burning a layer of the entire rear deck.

"It seems to have run away!" Hippel said with regret. Before he finished speaking, a loud bang suddenly came from the stern of the Langsuo ship! A huge fireball rose from the stern of the ship, and the violent explosion even exploded the 260MM cannon at the stern of the Langsuo ship into two pieces! Then, accompanied by a firelight rising from the sky and thick smoke, a mushroom cloud rose slowly! The Langsuo also lost control like a dog that had been broken, and then floated towards the brief talk under the influence of residual power and waves!

"It's not bad, our main gun seems to have made a contribution!" The time traveler wiped the sweat from his head and said. The shot just now should have hit the tail ammunition depot of the Langsu. Although it is a dome-armored cruiser, the ammunition depot of the Langsu also has certain protection. The ordinary 6-inch-level high-explosive bomb is definitely not penetrated. The only explanation is that the main gun hits. Although the ship was not completely blown up, Langsu probably will never appear on the sea again!

"Retreat!" Kawahara Yaoichi took the last look at the steel giant beast that almost destroyed the entire squadron! He gritted his teeth and ordered. Today is a day of ups and downs. When the Japanese fleet intercepted the Qing fleet and sank Jiyuan and Guangyi, Kawahara Yaoichikkawa believed that he had made contributions to the empire! In just two hours, three brigades of Qing army and two warships were eliminated. Glory and his imagination of the future made him intoxicated. But now...

"The killing of the 6-inch gun is still lower, and the sweeping deck is enough, but the damage to the core cabin is still limited." Seeing the Yoshino, covered in flames and smoke, quickly flee from the battlefield, Hippel said with a little regret. He did not expect that the German Navy would fight like this for the first time in decades! And it was fighting so clean and beautiful.

After relaxing, Hippel suddenly felt a little exhausted. He was just about to sit on a stool and prepare to rest for a while, but before his butt was touched, he was kept by the time traveler!

"Get up and do things quickly!" The bloodshot and slightly ferocious face of the time traveler made Hippel feel a little weak. "I thought the war was over? Have a dream! Things have just begun!"

"Let me find someone to see Ingnoll and the others immediately. There are a few sober people, count the casualties, and also send a small boat to the nearby waters to search for Japanese prisoners of war! Those who want to stay alive! This is all evidence!"

"Call that guy Herbert here! Even if he is lying on a stretcher, he will carry it up!" The time traveler was so angry that he thought of Herbert. This guy's appeasement policy almost destroyed the entire ship!

There were probably casualties, with more than 560 people on a warship and more than 40 casualties, half of which were caused within 5 minutes of the war! In an instant, the senior official sitting on the bridge was either killed or injured! If someone took the blame afterwards, it must be this kid!

Although the battle was won, the time travelers dare not relax at all. If nothing unexpected happens, the main force of the Japanese Joint Fleet is nearby and cannot stay for too long. A ship challenged a country? It’s better to take a shower. If someone puts this in order to kill you, your shells will not be enough!

After the war, he had to sue! Now he had to ask Herbert to take the Japanese prisoners and the victimized German merchant ship to Tianjin, and then immediately contact the German ambassador to the Qing Dynasty to tell the country about this matter! First, put the blame on the Japanese and occupy the moral commanding heights! Then he also had to lead the Mainz back to Shanghai to join Tirpitz. After the convergence, the German fleet was really not afraid of anything!
