Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Decisive Battle of Li Huamei's Operation!

Many years later, Chu Liuxiang can still recall this day. He couldn't forget the ghost weather in this ghost place, cloudy for a while, sunny for a while, snowflakes for a while, and rain for a while, and the most heart-wrenching battle since the formation of the coast guard!

As Kobayakawa had expected, the Ming fleet was noticeably slower before entering Tannourakou, and seemed to be suspicious of the sudden narrowing of the strait.

This is normal, the strait six or seven hundred meters wide, not to mention the inability to open the battle line, even more than 30 ships lined up are not enough.

On the castle, Kobayakawa looked at the Ming Dynasty fleet that stopped for a moment, and a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth.

Whenever it is noon, the tide of the Guanmen Strait will inevitably turn, this is determined by God, and the Bodhisattva cannot change it!

When Genpei fought the war, Genji relied on the sudden change of tide to instantly turn the tide of the battle and turn defeat into victory......

Speaking of which, at that time, Genji's naval army was also the same as the Ming Dynasty fleet, attacking from east to west. But the difference is that Genji's navy has the courage to take overboard, eager for a direct collision between warships and warships, unlike this group of shameful Ming cowards, who will only hide in the distance and open fire.

In the morning, in fact, the direction of the tide was favorable for the attack of the Kobayakawa naval army, but it was also conducive to the kite flying of the Ming fleet. And seeing that things are not good, the Ming Dynasty fleet can escape at any time. Therefore, Kobayakawa had to give up the time period that was favorable to him, and only wanted the tide to suck the people of the Ming Dynasty into the mouth of the altar.

He believed that as long as the two sides were close to each other, with the advantage of numbers and courage, victory would definitely belong to the Maori family!

~~

The warships of the Ming Dynasty did stop outside Pukou.

The biting northeast wind swept the raindrops and snowflakes, slapping on the bodies and faces of the soldiers, but it couldn't cool their blood!

The captains, police instructors, and instructors of each ship gathered all the officers and officers on the deck.

Then, just like Captain Wang and Commissar Ma, he lectured his brothers!

Many captains' thoughts went back to that day's pre-war meeting......

Wang Rulong pointed to the topographic map of the Guanmen Strait on the wall with a wooden stick. The direction of the trend at different times is clearly marked on it!

"After noon, the tide goes westward, and it is in our favor!" Wang Rulong roared at his captains: "In this battle, we must take the initiative to charge!" ”

"In this battle, we want to prove to the Japanese that our Ming Royal Coast Guard is not just flying kites from afar!" The captains roared at their men, "Our strength lies in our courage not to be afraid of sacrifice, and in our determination to fight the enemy bravely!" It lies in the combat effectiveness of sweeping thousands of armies! ”

"We want little Japan to see clearly, whether it is far away or near, all the Japanese slaves are not our opponents of the Ming boys!" Wang Rulong continued to lecture with a red face: "Only by crushing the enemy in all directions and completely crushing their last bit of luck can we completely establish awe in their hearts!" After this war, there will be no sailors in Japan who will dare to challenge us! ”

"At this time, the wind and water are smooth, we still stop, and if we only blindly fire long-range artillery, not only will we not be able to complete the goal of destroying the enemy, but we will also make little Japan unconvinced. This time, we will defeat them in the way they most admire, so that when they see our ships in the future, they will be weakened and flee in the wind! "The police cadres are also enthusiastically making the final mobilization.

"Brothers, let us prove to Childe that we are worthy of his trust!" All the voices converged into one deafening cry:

"Forge ahead for the group, dedicate your heart, full sail! Charge! ”

~~

Yes, from the very beginning, Wang Rulong planned to smash Huanglong and rush into the fjord to kill him!

At the same time, he and Kobayakawa Takakei chose the Kanmon Strait as the decisive battlefield. The latter valued the treacherous terrain here, and the people of the Ming Dynasty could not retreat when they were sucked in by the tide, so they could only obediently fight with him.

But what Wang Rulong saw was that the main force of the Maori navy was concentrated in the narrow strait, and the advantage in military strength could not be brought into play at all. However, your own firepower advantage can be brought into full play!

As long as the evil dragon has the courage to rush into Pukou, there will be a dense flock of sheep for it to feast on!

Guts? Wang Rulong, who is full of guts, how could he lack this thing! How could the arrogant soldiers he brought out lack this thing?

Even Zhao Gongzi, who puts safety first on weekdays, is rare and brave at this moment!

Wang Rulong's plan was very simple - since it was impossible to set up a battle line in the strait, then the horizontal team would turn into a column, with the flagship 101 as the leader, and ten medium-sized black-tailed ships to protect the flagship or so. Twenty Daifuku boats followed in two teams. Turn your entire fleet into a razor-sharp sword that pierces your enemies in the heart!

The 101 ship is a big killer that dominates the China Sea - the Wan Hu Wuwei ship! How can Wang Rulong only be used as an ornament? And it is the only one that can shoulder the role of the blade. You can rely on its sturdy and huge hull to smash the enemy formation!

Before the war, Wang Rulong wanted to ask Zhao Gongzi to transfer to the cargo ship and stay in Dafen Bay to 'sit in command'.

But he was sternly rejected by Zhao Gongzi, and the naval quenching was in this battle, and he must not be absent!

Although this activated Wang Rulong's permission to cancel the battle, Lao Wang was impressed by Zhao Gongzi's courage and actually agreed to let him stay on the flagship......

In fact, the main reason is that Lao Wang is addicted to war, and he is planning to cause a decisive battle, how can he be willing to give up?

"Raise my commander-in-chief!" Zhao Hao, dressed in a military uniform and holding a seven-star sword, stood upright on the stern, and commanded Brother Haier in a deep voice: "Let the soldiers know that I am with them!" ”

"Yes!" Brother Haier's excited voice responded.

On the mainmast of the flagship, a gold anchor flag on a white background was soon raised, hunting and dancing in the north wind.

The battleship that followed behind let out an earth-shattering cheer, and the morale was extremely high!

The cheers even reached the castle, making Kobayakawa frown, he was confused by the sudden spiritual head of the Ming Dynasty.

But now, the wood is in the boat, nothing can be changed, and we can only wait and see how the war develops......

~~

The tide turned at noon, and the fleet of the Ming Dynasty hung up its full sails and headed for the depths of the Guanmen Strait!

Under the northeast wind and ocean current, the speed of the fleet became faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, it passed the narrow Moji Castle, and the strait in front of it instantly opened up again.

However, the sea between the pontoon bridge and the Moji Cape was already covered with a dense crowd of warships.

Under the banners of the Mori family, the Kobayakawa family, and the Kuraishima family, there are 500 warships waiting for them!

And on the other side of the pontoon, there are 300 warships of the Nojima family. First, to defend against a sneak attack by the Otomo fleet from the west of the strait. Second, it is also because the east side of the bridge is really unopen......

However, the war is about to begin, and the follow-up men and horses are not allowed to go on the bridge again, and the task of defending the bridge has been completed.

The craftsmen of the Mori family are on standby at both ends of the bridge, and depending on the situation of the battle, the pontoon bridge will be demolished so that the Nojima Navy can join the warband...... Or let Kobayakawa and the Kurushima naval army retreat.

This historic Armageddon began in sleet.

The first to speak was the Oda City Rocket! The marines have the heavy responsibility of defending the ship in this battle, and once the broadside battle begins, how can they have the leisure to set off fireworks? Therefore, while the fleet has not yet received the enemy, it began to release Oda City rockets frantically towards the dense enemy ships!

And this rocket has no recoil and does not affect the speed of the fleet charge.

Countless rockets dragging red tail flames shot straight at the Japanese naval army. There are patches of enemy ships everywhere, and there is no need to aim at all!

Rockets roared into all sorts of Japanese ships, and when they were hit, they flew sideways and took several people into the water.

The rocket landed on the ship, still spewing long flames. Moreover, even if the flame ignites the grease-stained shell, it will still burn even if it is thrown into the water.

The Marines don't think about the next battle at all, and they want to shoot all the 'Oda City' at once!

A chilling swishing sound resounded throughout the strait, countless rockets reflected the gloomy sky into a strange purple red, many sailors were pierced, many warships were burning, and even the sea was full of fire!

"Rabbit give!"

"Kill, give!"

"Assault!" The commanders of the Japanese naval armies brandished small swords one after another, commanding the warships to rush up like a tide!

At this point, there are no more tactics to speak of. There are only three things you need to remember - stop the enemy, surround the enemy, and destroy the enemy!

However, the castle-like black giant ship on the sea, in the midst of the chopping waves, crashed into one ship after another blocking the way, and Xiao Zao couldn't even get close to it, and was overturned by the huge waves it rolled up......

Distance is not only beautiful, but also grossly misjudged. Only when they really got close to the 101 ship could the Japanese truly appreciate what the concept of the Wanhu Wuwei ship was.

Big, too big! Hard, too hard!

The Ataku ship, which Ichikawa had passed, was withdrawn from Tanoura, so it was very advanced at this time. When the black giant ship overturned and smashed more than a dozen closed ships, he came to his houseship!

He never expected that the people of the Ming Dynasty would not retreat or avoid it, and chose to do it brutally.

Ichikawa knows that the lord has miscalculated. This time I am more than lucky......

He wanted to dodge, but there were boats everywhere, and there was nowhere to retreat, so he had to hit it head-on!

With a loud bang, in the eyes of the Japanese, the Ataka ship, which was as magnificent and sturdy as a castle, was actually directly stopped and broken by the Wanhu blacktail boat, and the castle tower on the hull flew out and overturned several Japanese ships.

As for the Ichikawa Nozo on the castle tower, it is estimated that there is less luck than evil......

However, after all, the Ataka ship was there, and after this collision, the speed of the 101 ship slowed down significantly.

Seeing this, the surrounding Japanese ships swarmed up and wanted to surround this 'Hell Demon King's ship'!

However, the ten medium-sized blacktail ships that followed came up, and the 'Demon King's servants' directly smashed the enemy ships that wanted to get close to the flagship......

The Daifuku fleet, which followed behind the blacktail boat, didn't dare to be so fierce. If you hit your own boat and leak, then oh no. Seeing that they had already penetrated into the enemy formation, the captains gave the order to open fire on the side side one after another!

The broadside guns of the twenty Daifuku ships roared at the same time, and the three types of guns and the Franc machine sprayed grape shells and shotguns on the enemy ships that poured up like a tide, and with a single salvo, the surrounding area was visibly empty.
