Seized

"Jie Shuangyu" relied on its significant mobility advantage to always maintain a pursuit angle that was favorable for itself.

The main and secondary guns fired together, the scorching cannonballs tracing through the air, raining down like meteors, triggering violent explosions.

In an instant, the "Yamato" was in complete disarray, with fires breaking out in multiple upper areas.

At that moment, Deng Boxiang, who was in command of the rear main gun, seized the opportunity, and a piercing shell hit the enemy ship's port midsection.

This area was located directly below the bridge and housed the boiler! It had already been hit by several shells and was damaged. Now, it was torn open with a two-meter diameter hole.

Owing to the "Yamato"'s robust defense, the boiler was not completely destroyed.

But it did cause the boiler room to take in water, leading to a reduction in speed, which only compounded the already disadvantaged maneuverability of the ship.
