How are you?
Before starting her last 20 minutes of sailing, it is necessary for us to know something about the Dadonggou naval battle at that time. The Dadonggou naval battle in the Yellow Sea broke out at1September, 894 17 12: 50. In the first two hours of fighting, Beiyang Navy, which adopted the tactics of team chaos, suffered heavy losses to Bi Rui, Fusang and Xijing Maru at the expense of the sinking of the assault cruiser Chaoyong and the serious injury of the assault cruiser Yangwei. The key turning point was in the afternoon 15, and in the afternoon 10, the Japanese ship Fusang fired a 240mm shell, which hit the unguarded Bow Military Hospital in Dingyuan. The lower Seto powder filled in the warhead caused a raging fire, and the smoke obscured the sight of two 305mm main gun batteries, which seriously affected Dingyuan's counterattack ability. Dingyuan had to stop filming in order to save himself.
Taking advantage of Dingyuan's inability to fight back, the Japanese ship stepped up its firepower against Dingyuan: "Our team pushed Dingyuan to a distance of 4,000 meters or even 3,000 meters and began to shoot fiercely. The fire in front of it is getting stronger, and black smoke is constantly coming out. There has been an embarrassing situation in which you can't advance and retreat. " "The belly of the famous Toyo No.1 warship Dingyuan was hit, which seems to have suffered a lot of damage, lost the ability to move freely, and the speed of the ship was greatly slowed down. At this time, the ships in front of our fleet (four cruisers of the First Guerrilla) saw that it was the enemy flagship, and they lost no time in rushing to Dingyuan and fired fiercely. The Dingyuan ship caught fire, and the flames occupied half the sky. The crew of Dingyuan ship stopped shooting and concentrated on putting out the fire. However, the fire is fierce and the situation is undoubtedly very critical. Even if Dingyuan ship is protected by heavy armor, it can't stand the blazing fire. If the Japanese army continues to attack, Dingyuan will be burned into an empty shell sooner or later even if it is not sunk. At this time, You Chong, who was injured and caught fire in the previous battle, rushed out and stood in front of Dingyuan Ship with Zhenyuan Ship. As an armored ship, "Zhenyuan" was raw and barely able to cope with Japanese bullets; As a dome armored cruiser, Zhiyuan Ship is not so powerful. In just a few minutes, the hull without any vertical armor protection was quickly riddled with bullets and rain from Japan. With the influx of seawater, the hull began to lean to starboard, reaching a terrible nearly 30 degrees!
Obviously, it is impossible to continue fighting under such ship conditions. Although the damaged personnel tried their best to drain water, the seawater was full and even failed to return to Lushun, and the fate of the warship was determined. For Deng Shichang, a strong-willed pipe belt, it is obviously not his choice to sink in vain when the warship is hopeless. His choice is to sacrifice his own boat and do his best with theirs!
"Our people joined the army to defend the country, so we ignored life and death. Today, there is only death! "
