87. Rebellion: The waves are high outside Nankai Road

The confident Shimazu Heihachiro would not have known that the encounter in front of him was not a temporary blockade at all, but a premeditated and well-planned decisive battle. Isamu Yamamoto, who finally fled back to Osaka from Kagoshima via Shikoku www.biquge.info Nagasu Domain, had secretly contacted the old man of his family during the Nagasu Domain's uprising, and then the small actions of the Zanyi Society and his own old man continued to be used. Isamu Yamamoto even believed that things such as persuading the weak Tosa Domain to watch the fire from across the shore, giving up Shimonoseki and instigating the Hizen Domain to rise up together should have been done by that group of people, after all, a strategic place like Shimonoseki that connects China (the name of R country) and Kyushu would have been consciously released if it weren't for Zanyi's conscious release of water, and it would have been impossible to be quickly defeated with those unsuccessful samurai commanders, ninjas, and infantry.

The other reason why he was convinced that this was a conspiracy to consciously push the boat down the river was that the Governors of the Castle Guards, who had been fully assembled long before he arrived in Osaka, and there were no less than ten of them in the high-ranking Castle Governors alone, and it was believed that if it were not for the Restoration, the undercurrents would still be surging to extinguish the moths and flames of the rebels.

Yamamoto Isamu was undoubtedly assigned as the commander-in-chief, and the prestige of the No. 1 Town Guard Mansion is still there, although it has lost a lot of color, but with General Yamamoto pressing on it and Yamato Musashi supporting it below, no one will jump out of this thankless counterinsurgency mission and can't get along with your Governor's Palace. However, Yamamoto only laid out a rough battlefield plan and then handed over his command to his own fleet. This is his command skills of Isamu Yamamoto, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and instead of trusting his own prediction, it is better to hand over some specific operations to the ship's mother he trusts.

……

On the sea south of the Iki Waterway, Yamato and Musashi led more than 30 battleships to guard the route to Osaka, because they were worried that the aircraft carrier battle would bring unnecessary panic to the people near the island, and the news from Shikoku Island learned that Heihachiro's fleet had no aircraft carrier relationship except for reconnaissance planes, and all the aircraft carriers were photographed by her to the open sea to reconnoiter and block the opponent's fleet to prevent it from suddenly turning to attack Shinkyo and Yokosuka.

Looking at the shadow of the ship gradually appearing in the distance, Yamato sent his last communication before the battle, and then adjusted the liaison to the wide-area mode, and said to all the shipwives present: "The Iki Waterway is not wide, and the rebels' attack directions are nothing more than two: go straight to the Iki Waterway to break through our defense network and attack Osaka, or go west through the Naruto Strait into the Seto Inland Sea and then turn east to attack Osaka." ”

Yamato paused as he spoke, and the majesty of the Yamato-class and the rigorous on-site analysis made everyone except Musashi, who was gearing up, staring at her and waiting for the following, and seeing that everyone's attention was focused, she ordered, "So Musashi led all the ships of the 47th, 95th, 157th, and 162nd Town Guard Mansion, and the two sub-fleets of King Kong and Kirishima under the 77th Town Guard Mansion to the west at a flat speed to prevent the rebels from suddenly turning to attack the Naruto Strait." The rest of the ship will be led by me to stop the defense. Since the other party is a rebel ship, battlefield communications will no longer be used in the next battle, so please grasp the strength and method of attack on the premise of maintaining formation!"

After Yamato finished the order, he smiled at everyone as if encouragingly, and continued: "Everyone's admirals are waiting for us to triumph in Osaka Castle! We are the ship's mother! We are the weapons that bear the responsibility of guarding, but we are also the possession of the commander, and we must not be silent without the permission of the master, do you know?"

"Yes!"

Seeing that the formation of all the shipwives had been adjusted, Yamato temporarily handed over the flagship position to the mountain castle of the No. 30 town guard house and ran to Musashi, who was about to sail, and said: "Musashi will trouble you to overload the turbine a little bit this time, and you have to command the fleet well, if you have any questions, you can ask Kirishima of the No. 77 town guard house, and I heard King Kong say that it is the head of their fleet." And don't be impulsive, you know?" This detachment of 9 capital ships divided by Yamato is all high-speed ships except Musashi, and her purpose is actually very simple: to prevent Musashi from fighting alone!

"Got it, Yamato!" Musashi didn't have any impatience, she just tightened the strap of her pistol, looked at Yamato seriously and said, "I understand what you mean, but Musashi is a name born for fighting, you can't stop me from fighting!" she said and turned around and set off with the fleet, carrying Yamato away for some distance before she whispered the second half of the sentence that she would never say in front of Yamato, "Even in the name of my sister." ”

On the other side, as the distance between the two sides narrowed, the reconnaissance cruisers of the fleet belonging to the Satsuma Domain finally saw the huge fleet of the other party completely, and several small ship girls even forgot about the silence of the communication, and directly notified the news they found through the liaison to the Shimazu Heihachiro in the rear through wide-area communication.

"More than thirty capital ships, with about twenty cruisers but no aircraft carrier escort?" Heihachiro is still standing at the bow of the ship, he especially likes this position, every time he watches the battle here, he always has a feeling of immersion, he looks at the north with a sword and smiles, "I'm so confident that I'm as timid as a mouse! Although it seems that you have won, you are too underestimated by the courage of my Shimazu Heihachiro!" The course remains the same, and the content of the flag is given to all Admiral's ships: Raise the Z-shaped flag. And let the first mate prepare a lifeboat and let the faint of heart disembark! If I'm the only one left, then I'll be the one to handle the boat!"

When the young sailor heard this, he did not leave, but stood up and saluted, and said firmly: "The captain is a model for my generation! You still need to command the battle, and you will never be the only one left in this ship!"

"Then die for my ambitions!" Heihachiro laughed and threw the sword in his hand to the unknown sailor, saying, "Do you know how to sail a boat?"

"Definitely the fastest!"

"Okay! After giving the order, go and hold the rudder! Even if you die, you must not let go!"

"Yes!"

Heihachiro didn't care about the sailor, it was just a commonplace thing for him, he faced the ship girls in the north again, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, this is like me Shimazu Heihachiro! I almost forgot to be the lord of the domain for so long, it turned out that it was such a pleasant thing to pull out the sword with my own hands!hahahaha!"

It has never been denied that a charismatic person can make countless people die willingly for him, Heihachiro is obviously such a person, and everyone in his fleet at this time chooses to die willingly for his excellence. When the Z-shaped flag on Heihachiro's ship was raised in the wind, when the boatload of people abandoned the empty lifeboat and accelerated towards the flank of the ship's girls, almost all the admirals were conquered by his spirit, and more and more ships joined the ranks, they believed in Shimazu Heihachiro's command and followed his unparalleled spirit, no matter where they went!

"That's good!" At this time, he didn't care about any battlefield communications, and directly used the wide-area liaison to send a message to the ship girls at sea and said, "Yamato, I will use the ship to cover the flanks for you! Be sure to break those cowards for me! And the ship girl on the other side, if you have the courage to fire at me, then come! I'm Shimazu Heihachiro, unlike you cowardly admirals, I'm the one who can really pull out the blade! If you have the guts, come and sink me!"

The short-haired Yamato heard the words of his admiral, and his heart was full of confidence in victory, no matter which ship girl at such a time, she would forget everything and be willing to fight for such an admiral!

"Nagato, you come to organize a single column! I'll lead the team! You are responsible for covering the follow-up ship girls! I will do my best to withstand the shelling before approaching the other party to create opportunities for the follow-up you!" As she spoke, she looked at the famous ship girl of the same type in the distance, and said in a low voice: "If one day I will sink without regrets, then that day is today!"

Seeing that Yamato began to accelerate, Nagato frowned, then raised his voice and added: "The Commander's ambition depends on this battle, please don't keep your hands!"

……

If Shimazu Heihachiro's bold behavior gave the weak Satsuma Domain Navy a booster, then he could only bring chaos to the crusading army on Yamato's side, and Yamato had nothing to do about it, the ship girls already had a good impression of the admiral, and it was still such an extraordinary admiral, even if it was an enemy, even if those admiral's ships would cause trouble for them, but she believed that even if she ordered to attack most of the ship girls indiscriminately, she would still choose to bypass those heroic admirals,

"Forget it, with the advantage of formation, gather fire on the opponent's main fleet!" Yamato also breathed a sigh of relief when he gave the order, to be honest, if she hadn't been the flagship, she would have been one of the kind of ships who disobeyed her, she thought wildly, but the artillery did not stop moving, and even inspired those chaotic teammates in her mouth, "Our admiral is Osaka behind him! Do you want the war to burn there?" After saying that, she no longer cared about those teammates, but focused her eyes on the strangely short-haired Yamato.

Yamato looked at the proper distance, raised his hand and directly relied on his superb training to cover the short-haired figure with a round of firepower, but what he didn't expect was that the ship girl who was not highly trained actually returned a round of accurate salvo from such a distance, obviously that ship girl is also a very tricky character.

When Yamato was dodging the artillery, a familiar but unfamiliar voice suddenly appeared in the contact, "Hello Yamato, as the Yamato of the same ship, I admire you very much, can you please retreat here! ”

"What are you kidding! The Admiral's safety is far greater than anything you can promise! It's hard to imagine that you who are living in the world with this kind of consciousness are also Yamato!" Yamato smiled and sarcastically mocked the other party: "No! What qualifications do you have to be called a Yamato-type ship girl who doesn't even maintain a ship's outfit?" Although she was full of apologies when she said this, in order to defeat a Yamato-type ship girl as soon as possible, she finally chose to use a despicable heart attack. Because as she said, the Admiral is the only one for her!

"Indeed!" the short-haired ship lady was not angry, but paused and said, "But it doesn't matter if you abandon your name for the sake of the Admiral! You can call me Plan Ship 111! I will not hesitate any longer! Then Plan Ship 111 is here to participate!" said another round of accurate straddle shots tilted towards Yamato's position.

The two covered each other with artillery fire back and forth, and Yamato's fleet was also constantly gathering fire on each other. But gradually Yamato felt that something was wrong, and the other party had been maintaining a single vertical formation, even when the flagship was broken and the second Nagato-type ship was broken, they still did not choose to attack but still approached them.

It wasn't until the scarred short-haired Yamato approached a very close distance and began to turn extremely fast that Yamato, who was also broken, felt that something was wrong: "No! Distance yourself from the other party! The other party is looking for a breakthrough position!" But it was already too late, because the Hinata and the beginning behind Nagato had already stood in the shelling position, and a group of high-speed warships were rapidly deploying their formation further behind the single column.

As soon as the words fell, a round of approaching battleship guns accurately hit almost every ship girl in the Yamato team who was in good condition.

"It's game over, Yamato-senpai. She sighed and said, but at this time, another voice interjected mixed with artillery fire and Nagato's cry of pain: "No one wants to touch my sister!"
