"It sank, it sank!"
" The Yoshino sank, sank-"
On the Zhenyuan warship, the 300 soldiers of the Beiyang Navy cried tears of joy.
They had followed Yang Yonglin out to sea. They were prepared to die, but they had no confidence in winning.
After all, the Japanese Combined Fleet had not lost a single ship since the start of the war, especially the flagship Yoshino of the first guerrilla team. It was known for its fast speed and fierce firepower, sinking many ships of the Northern Navy.
Today, the Yoshino warship was sunk. The officers and soldiers on the Zhenyuan warship could not believe what they were seeing. The huge victory struck every nerve in their bodies, causing them to fall into madness.
Ever since the Battle of Fengdao, the Northern Navy had experienced too many failures and pain. One by one, precious ironclads sank to the bottom of the sea, and their comrades who accompanied them day and night slept with the waves.
After sinking the Yoshino today, the depression in the officers and soldiers 'chests was swept away!
"Deng Shichang, Lin Yongsheng, Huang Jianxun, Lin Lvzhong-all of your heroic spirits are immortal. I, Yang Yonglin, will avenge you!”
Yang Yonglin stood at the bow of the ship and recited the names of the fallen soldiers loudly. His eyes were burning with the flames of revenge.
He ordered the training officer of the Kangji warship to lead Sa Zhenbing at the helm and personally rushed to the front of the main cannon, aiming at the Japanese warships that were swarming over.

"Yang Junmen sank the Yoshino!"
"The Yoshino sank! It sank!"
"Ding Junmen, Liu Junmen, Lord Deng, you can rest in peace!”A Westerner with bandages on his head and bloodstains on his face stood on a high hill, tears streaming down his face.
His name was Ma Jifen, and he was the vice-captain of the Zhenyuan warship. He was seriously injured in the battle of Weihaiwei and had been recuperating at the Admiral's Mansion on Liugong Island. This time, he did not follow Yang Yonglin out to sea.
When he saw the entire process of the Yoshino ship sinking through the telescope, Ma Jiefen clenched his fists, his facial muscles bulging, and his injured cheek oozed blood again.
"Lord Ma Jiefen, you are injured!”
Cheng Biguang took out a handkerchief to wipe Ma Jifen.
Ma Jiffen pushed him away and said,"Don't worry about me! Lord Cheng, quickly command the Liu Gong Island battery to fire at the Japanese warships that have entered the firing range and assist Lord Yang in defeating the enemy.”
"I'll go now!"
Cheng Biguang immediately summoned the soldiers and bombarded the Japanese warships that entered the firing range.
The rumbling of the cannons reached the Zhenyuan warship, and the morale of the officers and soldiers soared.
"Gentlemen, the sound of Liu Gongdao's cannon shows that our Northern Navy's soldiers are all good men and will never surrender!”Yang Yonglin waved his arms and loudly encouraged the morale of the soldiers.
The Zhenyuan ship cut through the waves and attacked the enemy ship Songdao.
When they were 4800 meters away from the enemy ship, Yang Yonglin personally controlled the cannon to fire.
Boom! Boom!
The 305mm main cannon of the ship that had been modified by the system was like a monster that was spewing fire. It kept firing shells at the speed of five rounds per minute. When the shells landed near the Songdao, water columns that were more than ten meters tall splashed up.
"How is this possible?”
Ito was shocked!
Previously, he had fought with the Northern Navy several times, and their inferior armor-piercing solid bullets had left a deep impression on him.
But now, the ship seemed to have been reborn!
Not only was the armor brand new, but the main cannon could also fire powerful picric acid shells.
One by one, shells exploded on the side of the Songdao. The shockwaves from the explosions caused the warship to shake up and down like a small boat in a storm.
Under such circumstances, the Songdao sailors laboriously adjusted their cannons and returned fire.
However, most of the first wave of artillery shells lost their aim and missed!
Ito's expression changed drastically. He personally stood on the deck and commanded the most elite first-class marines to control the 302mm French-made cannon to return fire.
For a moment, the sound of cannons rumbled, and the cannons weaved like a web, forming spectacular fire dragons in the sky above the sea.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the four cannon balls of the Faraway Suppression Ship actually hit at the same time.
These were the giant shells fired by the 305mm Krupp main cannon. Two of them hit the deck of the Songdao, and the violent air currents erupted like a mountain torrent, directly sending more than ten sailors into the sea.
Exploding shells shot in all directions. The first mate, Saki Shinshiro, was hit by shrapnel, and his entire torso exploded.
As for Yi Dong, he was sent flying by the shockwave. His head hit the bridge and he fainted on the spot.
"Save the commander!"
A group of adjutants carried Ito to the medical cabin in a flurry.
On the deck, flames were raging. Third Officer Matsumoto Ichiro commanded the soldiers to put out the fire, while First Officer Hashimoto Hisaburo replaced Commander Ito to command.
However, the cannon fire of the Faraway Conqueror was too intense. In less than three minutes, another shell hit the left side of the Songdao. The explosion overturned the deck, and the flames that had just been controlled burned fiercely again.
They deserved the bad luck of the Japanese army!
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew on the sea. The strong wind swept up the flames and quickly spread to the ammunition compartment. Some of the explosives stored were ignited, causing a series of big explosions.
" The Songdao has sunk, sunk-"
"Yang Junmen is mighty!"
When the soldiers of the Zhenyuan warship witnessed this scene, they were so excited that they couldn't control themselves.
First-class marine Wang Guocheng slammed the cannon barrel hard and shouted,"My Beiyang Navy is not a coward.”
"I'll blast you to death!"
The marines roared excitedly as they aimed and fired.
More than a dozen Hutch Rapid-Fire Cannons were like furious beasts, constantly firing bullets.
