The four escort warships hardly bought the transport fleet for a moment. When the Yueyang ship and the Sanya ship caught up with the transport fleet from both sides of the outer side of the transport fleet, only two transport ships completed the steering.

At this time, the Yueyang ship and the tweeter on the Sanya ship shouted to the transport fleet in German, asking the transport ship to immediately turn off the engine, anchor underground and surrender to its own side, otherwise all transport ships would sink.

However, all the transport fleets were dissatisfied with the Yueyang ship and the Sanya ship's shouting and threatening. The two transport ships that had turned their heads drove at full speed and tried their best to escape from the scene. The other transport ships were doing their own things. Some transport ships were continuing to turn, and some transport ships rushed at full speed before they turned completely. Because they all saw that there were only two warships intercepting the transport fleet, which also made all transport ships have a lucky mentality, believing that these two warships could not stop all transport ships, and each transport ship had a high chance of escaping.

Seeing that all the transport ships were not anchored by orders, the captain of Yueyang ship Wang Hailong pounded the operating table in the cab and said, "Damn it, the shameless German guy, since I want to die, I will give you my help. Open fire for me and sink a ship first. I don't believe it. German guys are really not afraid of death."

After the captain gave the order, the main gun of the Yueyang ship immediately aimed at the fastest-running transport ship. The ship's name was Springs. It was a transport ship with a full load displacement of 400 tons. The maximum load was 1,800 tons and a maximum speed of 15 knots, which was one of the fastest among all transport ships. However, this time the Springs loaded 1,500 soldiers and equipment, as well as 1,700 tons of supplies. The actual load was nearly 000 tons, and the speed also dropped to 1 knot. At this time, he was running forward desperately at the maximum speed that could be achieved.

However, under normal circumstances, the Springs is much slower than the Yueyang ship, not to mention that the artillery on the Yueyang ship opened fire without hesitation, and carried out a shelling for 1 minute at a rate of fire of seconds per shot.

Since there are no weapons on the transport ship, the Yueyang ship is also quite close to the transport fleet. When firing, it was only 5. kilometers away from the Springs. In previous naval battles, this was the closest firing. At this distance, the hit rate of the main gun of the Yueyang ship almost reached 100%.

Of course, in actual combat, due to factors such as ocean currents and wind speed, the hit rate of the naval gun will be dismantled. Therefore, twenty shells directly hit the Springs to 15 rounds, and other shots will be close to each other, with only two shots falling off, and the hit rate will reach more than 90%, which is also a very high hit rate.

Although the power of the 76mm caliber artillery equipped by the Yueyang ship is limited and not very lethal to the warships of this era, the defense of the transport ship cannot be compared with that of the warships. Moreover, it was even nearly twenty shells. In just one minute, the entire ship was almost covered by an explosion, which also made the crew and soldiers on the ship feel like they were experiencing hell.

After the end of the shelling, six or seven large holes were made on the left side of the Springs, and a raging fire ignited on the deck. The sea water rushed into the inner cabin like a rising tide. No matter how the damaged personnel on the ship tried their best to rescue, they could not stop the influx of sea water. After only three or four minutes, the Springs tilted clearly to the left. The crew and soldiers on the ship jumped into the ship to escape, just like dumplings. In less than fifteen minutes, the Springs turned to the left and sank into the sea. At least half of the crew members were unable to escape from the cabin in time.

On the other side, Zhang Wei, the captain of the Sanya ship, saw that the Yueyang ship was fired, ordered the ship to open fire and bombard another fleeing transport ship. It also took only more than a minute to sink the transport ship. Of course, while the shelling was still on, the shouting continued, but it only added content such as "If you escape again, this is the end."

In just a few minutes, two transport ships were sunk continuously, which did shock many transport ships. Only then did they realize that although the other side had only these two warships, their artillery fired at a fast speed, strong firepower, and high accuracy, and it was really difficult to escape. So three or four transport ships immediately began to slow down and shut down, preparing to anchor underground as the calls of the two warships. Although these transport ships were also ships of the German Navy, those who drove these ships were not front-line soldiers who drove the warships, not to mention that European soldiers were not ashamed of surrender. At this time, it was important to save their lives first.

However, the transport ships that stopped were only part of it, and some transport ships still did not listen to evil and still tried their best to escape from the battlefield. Moreover, they did not escape in one direction, but ran around in scattered areas. The crew of two transport ships wanted to stop the ship, but were held hostage by the Germans on the ship and fled from the battlefield. The Germans also moved several caliber artillery to the deck of the ship and fired guns at the Yueyang and Sanya ships.

Of course, the army guns fired on the ship deck, so they were naturally not accurate. Even a few shots were fired far away, but it angered Wang Hailong, the captain of the Yueyang ship. Originally, Shang Jinfeng ordered the German ship to let go and destroy the German transport fleet with all his might, which made Wang Hailong hold his fire. After all, it was more exciting to fire warships, and letting warships go to transport ships. Isn’t this bullying the transport ships? Even if one hundred transport ships were sunk, there was nothing glorious.

However, Shang Jinfeng's military rank and position were above Wang Hailong, and he officially served as the Minister of the Navy and Fleet Commander at the Tianjin Conference. Wang Hailong naturally could only obey his orders, but he must have felt a little emotional. Now that he saw that the transport ship not only did not surrender, he actually fought back, Wang Hailong immediately became angry and immediately ordered to sink the fired transport ship.

As a result, the Yueyang ship was hit by another fierce shelling, sinking a ship that retaliated against each other, while the other ship that retaliated against each other had already run away. Wang Hailong ordered a torpedo to fire at the ship. As a result, a few minutes later, the torpedo hit the ship and sank it.

On the other side, the Sanya ship also opened fire on a transport ship that was about to escape. However, Zhang Wei was not as impulsive as Wang Hailong. He was much calmer. He did not fire but just slammed. Instead, he only hit the three guns of the transport ship, and then stopped the shelling and shouted to him. Sure enough, the transport ship suddenly slowed down, and in order to prevent the Sanya ship from firing again, he even hung a white flag. When the other transport ships saw it, they did not dare to have the idea of ​​escaping again, and they all stopped honestly.

By this time, the combat mission to annihilate the German transport fleet was also over. All four warships escorted the transport fleet were sunk, while four eleven transport ships were sunk, one of which was injured, and the other six were all extinguished and anchored, surrendered to the Yueyang ship and the Sanya ship.

However, in the nearby sea water, countless German soldiers were struggling in the sea water. After all, there were many German soldiers on the four sunken warships and four transport ships who had sank. Although the ship sank, the escaped soldiers were still struggling hard in the sea water. Many German soldiers swam towards seven transport ships that had been moored, while the crew and soldiers on the ship threw down their lifebuoys to rescue their companions who had fallen into the water.

The Yueyang ship and the Sanya ship did not stop it. After all, after the war, we can still talk about humanity and Guiyi. Moreover, both warships also participated in the rescue, but only concentrated the rescued German soldiers on the helicopter platform at the stern of the ship.

The actions of the two ships also won the favor of some crew members and soldiers on the transport ship, because although the seven transport ships were all rescuing the Debians who fell into the water, the seven ships have now turned off and anchored and are stationed on the spot. Therefore, they can only rescue the Debians near the ship, and they can do nothing to do with the Debians in the distance, and they can only swim by themselves. After the Yueyang and Sanya ships joined the rescue, they naturally changed a lot.

Originally, some people on the transport ship were thinking about finding an opportunity to escape, but now they have given up this idea. Although they still don’t know who their enemies are, judging from their behavior, they are obviously civilized people, not extremely evil people, because only civilized people will act to rescue the enemy. Since this is the case, why run away? After all, under the surveillance of these two warships, the chance of escape is indeed not high, and the four sinking transport ships in the front end will be the fate.

At this moment, four boats arrived on the spot. It turned out to be two 18 boats and the Sea Dragon and two torpedo gunboats of the Sea Rhino rushed to the battlefield to assist in the war. Although the battle had ended at this time, these four boats could still play a role in the arrival. First, it was to rescue German soldiers in the sea. With these four boats, the efficiency would naturally be much greater.

Liu Ximing and other soldiers of the former Beiyang Navy were so impressed that they had lost their hearts to the crossing fleet. Although they did not participate in the war, they did not see the remnants of the sea water, as well as the seven surrendered German transport ships, and the embarrassing German soldiers struggling in the sea water. It was the Yueyang ship, and the Sanya ship was still silver-white all over, and there was no sign of the appearance of having just experienced a fierce battle.

All of this shows that this overseas Chinese fleet easily won a complete victory. At that time, the main warships of the Beiyang Navy were all made in Germany. Although the Beiyang Navy was eventually wiped out during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the quality of the German warships was unanimously recognized by China and foreign countries. In the battle of Dadonggou, the two ironclad ships in Dingyuan and Zhenyuan were shot more than 300 times under the siege of Japanese ships. The hull was scarred, but they were still firm and not sunken, which made Yuki Ito, the commander of the Japanese Joint Fleet, sigh that "it would not sink these two ships."

Therefore, in the minds of the Beiyang Navy officers and soldiers, the German ship is definitely the world's first-class level, while the German fleet was defeated by the overseas Chinese fleet, which shows how powerful this overseas Chinese fleet is.
