In the First Sino Japanese Naval Battle, why couldn t the flagship of the Beiyang Naval Division Di

Because the shells on the Dingyuan were replaced with sand, and the torpedoes were also duds, Deng Shichang had no choice but to drive the Dingyuan to sink the Yoshino but was hit by the Yoshino's torpedo and sunk halfway.

Because the equipment on the Dingyuan was too backward, and the Qing **'s policy of closing the country led to the Qing ** being far inferior to foreign countries, so it did not sink the Yoshino.

Because at that time in our country this ship was technologically backward, and there were not enough shells.

The Dingyuan and Zhenyuan cruisers of the First Guerrilla Force in the First Sino-Japanese Naval War (i.e., Yoshino, etc.) were not on the same level, Dingzhen was a battleship with high cost and heavy defense, and was used for fleet decisive battles, while the cruisers of the First Guerrilla Force were designed to attack the enemy's weak ships, attack and harass the enemy's lines of communication, and hit and run. During the battle, the Sanjing ship in the Japanese army's main team was specially designed to fight against the Chinese Dingzhen, but unfortunately it did not play a big role.

Let's answer your question, Dingyuan's main ** is 4 305 mm heavy guns, and four 150 mm guns, these naval guns are powerful, but the rate of fire is slow, about three or four minutes a shot, despite this, it is far better than the Japanese naval guns of the same level, the 254 guns of the Naniwa class and the 320 guns of the Sanjing ship have a lower rate of fire than Dingzhen. The main shells of the 305 guns in Dingzhen were armor-piercing shells, mainly to penetrate the enemy's waterline and make the enemy sink into the water, and the explosive shells that were relatively lacking in the battle were the ammunition that had just begun to become popular before the First Sino-Japanese War, and the extreme lack of Beiyang naval divisions was inevitable. During naval warfare, Dingyuan did not lack ammunition, but there were very few explosive shells.

The cruisers of the 1st Guerrilla Detachment used large-caliber rapid-fire guns with mostly explosive shells, which were used to destroy the unarmored superstructure of the enemy, kill the enemy's crew and cause fires, and assist the capital ship (Sankei) to sink the enemy ship. However, in the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, because the armor protection of the cruisers on both sides was very poor, and only explosive shells could penetrate the enemy ships without armor-piercing shells, the Japanese took a great advantage, and our army's Chaoyong, Yang Wei, Zhiyuan, and Jingyuan were all sunk by large-caliber blasting shells, and Laiyuan and Dingyuan were all burned and forced to withdraw from the battle. The actual combat also showed that there was a great chance factor in this naval battle, and the armor of Dingzhen was very thick, but the Japanese army lacked armor-piercing shells and could not penetrate Dingzhen, while Beiyang did not need armor-piercing shells to penetrate the Japanese armor at all.

As a result, the Dingzhen hull was intact and the Japanese cruisers were not bad, but the Chinese cruisers became victims. Therefore, if the number of blasting shells in Dingzhen is a little larger, it will have a certain impact on the situation of the battle, but the fate of the cruisers will not be much different. The focus was on increasing the rate of fire and equipping the cruiser with more blasting shells.

No, technology was too backward at that time, not that if it was, it would be good! There must be necessity in chance!

Of course, I almost sank!!

One was a battleship and the other was a cruiser, and in those days did you know what the outcome of cruiser versus battleship would be.

Battle of the Yellow Sea. Lasts 5 hours. China sank five ships.

The Japanese seriously injured five ships. At that time, the Chinese artillery shells were all black powder, not to mention. There are also target shells.

It's just that you can't blow it up like that. The Japanese are all rapid-fire guns. Even if China does not have rapid-fire guns, it is old-fashioned equipment.

As long as there are enough shells. It can also beat the Japanese Combined Fleet.

Judging from the comparison of strength and tactics between the two sides during the Battle of the Yellow Sea, it is already a blessing in misfortune that the Beiyang Naval Division was not completely annihilated. Influenced by some stall literature, many people mistakenly believe that the strength of the Beiyang Naval Division is superior to that of the Japanese Combined Fleet, which is completely wrong. During the Battle of Dadonggou, the Beiyang Fleet was almost in a state of exhaustion, and there was still a part of the ships of the Japanese Combined Fleet that did not participate in the battle, and even in this case, the overall tonnage of the Beiyang Fleet still lagged behind the other side.

The tonnage of the Beiyang Fleet mainly comes from two ironclad ships, which are also the only hope for the Beiyang Fleet to win. The two ironclad ships of the Beiyang Fleet were the Dingyuan ship and the Zhenyuan ship, and the tonnage of these two ships exceeded 7,000 tons, which was the largest in Asia at that time. The Zhenyuan ship and the Dingyuan ship are not only heavier in tonnage, but also have strong armor protection capabilities of the two **, and the Japanese army has hit the Dingyuan ship and the Zhenyuan ship many times in naval battles, but has never been able to sink the two **.

The Dingyuan and Zhenyuan ships were also equipped with large-caliber naval guns, which were more destructive and capable of penetrating heavy armor. However, most of the main ships of the Japanese Combined Fleet were cruisers, and the large-caliber armor-piercing shells of the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan ships did not have an obvious effect on the cruisers. There is a fatal shortcoming in the Dingyuan ship and the Zhenyuan ship, the two ships are relatively heavy, and the moving speed is very slow, and the movement speed of the capital ships is slow, which greatly limits the maneuverability of the Beiyang Fleet.

I think it may be because of the decay and backwardness of the Qing Dynasty at that time, and the economy did not give enough support, so that the equipment of the Dingyuan ship at that time was relatively backward, and the combat power was far inferior to the Yoshino. The Qing army did not develop a navy until the end of the Qing Dynasty, and its training was poor, which led to inferior tactics to the Japanese army, which in turn made the Dingyuan fail to sink the Yoshino.

Because the Dingyuan's equipment is relatively poor, it can't compare to the Yoshino in terms of configuration, so it will definitely not be able to sink the Yoshino.

Because the equipment of the Dingyuan was not as good as that of the Yoshino, and there were corrupt people in the Beiyang Naval Division at that time, the Dingyuan did not have enough shells.

Which heavy tan is the moving light tank? The speed difference between the two ships was almost half, and then there was a military chess deduction that showed that it was not necessarily a collision with Yoshino....

The strength of Beiyang far surpassed that of the Japanese Combined Fleet, and whether or not it could win was entirely due to the human factor.

The Dingyuan ship has a slow speed, few naval guns, a slow rate of fire, and a small power of shells.

Unable to catch up with the Yoshino, the shells could not bloom.

Been there. The First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle took place in 1894. Prior to this, in August 1886, the "Dingyuan", "Zhenyuan", "Jiyuan" and "Weiyuan" of the Beiyang Naval Division had docked at the port of Nagasaki, Japan for replenishment and maintenance (it is presumed that it was a routine oiling of ironclad ships to prevent rust, and at that time there was no dock in China that could accommodate ironclad ships, so they had to go to Japan).

The anchorage of the two ships Dingyuan and "Zhenyuan" in Japan has caused panic in the Japanese government and public. During the berth period, the Chinese sailors who went ashore on leave fought with the Japanese locals over trivial matters, resulting in many casualties, and then under the diplomatic and military pressure of China and the mediation of the Western powers, they ended in mutual compensation for losses, which is known as the "Qi Case" in history.
