"Hurry, hurry, speed up!"

Not far from the battlefield, six warships lined up, speeding through the waves in the river, and the river was split by them, as if a passage had been drawn.

This is the First Fleet, and it is also the most combat-ready fleet in the Navy, with a total of one destroyer and five frigates.

At that time, China's navy was weak, and it was simply too far behind the great powers, not to mention aircraft carriers or anything, even ordinary warships were too much worse, and all the navies combined were not even as many as the warships of one fleet.

For example, the First Fleet is already the strongest in the navy, but it only has six warships, most of which are frigates, and only one destroyer.

Looking at the Japanese fleet, the B-class fleet sent this time has 12 warships, including four destroyers and eight frigates, which is not a little bit stronger than the strength of the First Fleet.

However, the First Fleet did not hesitate in the slightest, and immediately after receiving the order from above, it set sail and headed straight for the waters of the battle.

As a real Chinese soldier, he will not be afraid to move forward, even if he knows that there is endless danger ahead, he will still grit his teeth and rush forward and fight his way out with his hands.

What's more, there are their siblings there, and there is a warship fighting with the devils!

The captains of the six warships were all in a hurry, and they wished that their warships would have wings so that they could rush over as fast as possible so that they could save the warship in time.

Although they both knew that the chances of the warship surviving were close to zero, they still wanted to do their best.

On the warship, everyone was focused and ready for battle, because no one knew when and where a warship of devils would come out.

The waters of the Yangtze River have long been out of the control of the Chinese Navy, and the batteries along the coast have been demolished, and foreign warships have long been able to enter the inland rivers unimpeded.

This is a shame for the Chinese, and even more so for the Chinese Navy!

Today, it is up to them to wash away this shame, even at the cost of blood and lives.

On the flagship of the First Fleet, the Long Dragon, the captain of the ship and the commander of the entire fleet, Xue Du, sat at the table, staring at the map on the table, and was checking the area of engagement and the terrain around it.

His chief of staff hurried in from outside the door, with a telegram in his hand, walked quickly behind him, and then handed the telegram to Commander Xue Duxue.

"Commander, this is a telegram from Shangfeng."

After receiving the telegram, Xue Du's eyes never left the map at all, and for him, planning how to hit the devil's warship was the top priority.

Chief of Staff Jiang Da was standing aside, he saw that Commander Xue didn't even glance at the telegram, so he hurriedly stepped forward and reminded in a low voice, "Commander, this is the telegram just sent by Shangfeng, you can take a look." ”

Xue Du didn't raise his head, and said angrily, "Let's put aside the one sent above, I have important things to do now." ”

"But Commander, I suggest you should read this telegram first." Jiang Da reminded on the side.

Xue Du raised his head with some displeasure, glanced at Jiang Da, and then said, "Oh, is there anything important, what can they say at this time that is useful-"

His eyes fell on the message, and Commander Xue Duxue's gaze froze, and then he grabbed the message, and then read it word by word.

As he read, Xue Du's face glowed red, and his breathing began to be rapid, and finally his palms trembled slightly.

The news on the telegram was too shocking, he never expected it, so the sense of happiness came too suddenly and too strongly, so that he didn't have the slightest preparation, and even his head was a little dizzy.

It's true, am I not dreaming?

Commander Xue shook his head a little dizzy, and then once again set his eyes on the message, reading it carefully word by word, confirming the accuracy of the news.

Finally, he read the full text again, then raised his head and let out a sigh, "This is true, this is actually true." ”

Putting the telegram on the table, Commander Xue Du Xue actually had some tears in the corners of his eyes, "God has eyes, China should not die, China will not die." ”

On the side, Chief of Staff Jiang Da had a smile on his face, he had already read the message, so he could also understand Commander Xue's feelings. When he first saw the message, he even bit his tongue out of excitement.

With a smile, Jiang Da opened his mouth, "Commander, this is really a blessed star from heaven, my fleet is probably going to win a big battle this time." ”

"It's too early to say that." After experiencing a short period of excitement, Xue Du quickly regained his composure, shook his head and said, "After all, it is still unknown how effective their combat power is, so we still have to be prepared for the hardest battle." ”

Jiang Da hurriedly nodded and responded, "Understood, I will remind all the commanders of the fleet." ”

"Hmm!"

Xue Du nodded, then stood up with his hands behind his back, walked around the room a few times, and finally paced in front of the map, leaning down to stare at the map.

"China's 10,000-mile sea frontier cannot be lost in the hands of our navy, in that case, we will be sinners through the ages, if the devil wants to succeed, there is only one result, that is, to walk on us and the wreckage of warships."

Jiang Da's expression also became serious, his body stood upright, staring at Xue Du Xue's already gray hair, and his heart couldn't help but surge with blood.

At the age of thirty-two, he served as the chief of staff of the entire fleet, and in addition to his own outstanding ability, of course, he also had Commander Xue's appreciation.

From the day he set foot on the Changlong, Jiang Da made up his mind to dedicate his life to China's naval cause.

Therefore, any decision made by Commander Xue Duxue, he will obey it unconditionally, and he will implement it without discount, even if it is a dead end, he will never retreat.

Because he believed that Commander Xue's decision would not let him down.

"Order, the fleet is at full speed, be sure to rush to the engagement area in the shortest possible time, and then entangle the Japanese ships to buy more time for the arrival of friendly forces." Xue Du pressed his hands on the map, his brows furrowed into a Sichuan shape, and his tone was resolute, "Even if the entire fleet is gone, you can't let the devil slip away." ”

"Yes, Commander!" Jiang Da answered, turned around and walked out of the captain's room!
